Follow our guide to complete the Stains of Heresy quest in Darksiders 2. Learn how to defeat the Archon and progress through Act 3.
Alright, so you've just finished up with the Archon and need to tackle the 'Stains of Heresy' quest. It's pretty straightforward once you know where to go. First things first, fast travel back to the Crystal Spire. Once you arrive, head straight up the staircase in front of you. You'll need to have a chat with the Archon up there. After that, a scene will play out, and bam! You'll find yourself in a small arena. Get ready, because this is where you'll have to face off against the Archon himself in a boss battle.
After you've dealt with the Archon and the dust settles, it's time to head over to the Tree of Life. Fast travel there and find the Crowfather. Speak with him to trigger another scene. Once that's done, make your way up the stairs and you'll see a portal that's just opened up. Step through that portal – it's your ticket to the demon realm of Shadow's Edge, where the 'Stains of Heresy' quest truly begins.
- Make sure you're stocked up on health potions before heading into the Archon boss fight. He can hit pretty hard!
- Pay attention to the Archon's attack patterns. Like most bosses in Darksiders 2, he has tells before he strikes.
- The portal to Shadow's Edge only appears after you speak with the Crowfather, so don't go looking for it beforehand.
