Follow this Darksiders 2 walkthrough to navigate The Ivory Citadel, collect the Voidwalker, and overcome its challenges. Includes tips and strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Collect the Voidwalker. You can now place portals on circular blue pads.
  2. 2
    Place a portal on the pad here and another on the balcony above. Exit the current area and use the Death Grip to cross the gap again.
  3. 3
    Kill the corrupted angels. Use the Voidwalker on the blue pad to the left, then aim at another pad on a platform to the right.
  4. 4
    Exit and look right to see a pad on an earlier, downward-angled platform near a yellow crystal. Create a portal there and another on the current pad.
  5. 5
    Grab a bomb, throw it through the portal to destroy the crystal, revealing a chest. Jump through the portal to collect the chest, then return to the previous area.
  6. 6
    Back on the far eastern platform, go around the broken wall to find a switch before a closed circular door. Hit the switch to open the door and drop down.
  7. 7
    Continue forward. At the intersection, turn right to find a chest.
  8. 8
    Perform a 180-degree turn. Place a portal on the pad directly behind you. Continue down the remaining hall and place a charged portal (hold the button) on the pad at the end.
  9. 9
    Return to the portal on the wall and jump through to be launched by the ground portal into a new area.
  10. 10
    From this platform, use the Death Grip to cross the gap and enter the doorway. Kill the aryfids that appear.
  11. 11
    Enter the door at the far end. Use the portal pad to the left and place a second portal on the pad on the platform in front.
  12. 12
    Travel through the portals and defeat the corrupted angels. Cross the bridge and kill more corrupted angels.
  13. 13
    Locate a portal pad on a piece of wall. Go around to the other side of this wall and destroy the destructible objects on the back to reveal a chest. Loot it.
  14. 14
    Behind a nearby tree, find a Boatman's Coin.
  15. 15
    You'll find an inactive golden sphere. To the southwest, there's an active sphere next to a portal pad. Place a portal on that pad, and another on the pad on your current platform to cleanse the corruption and reveal a path forward.
  16. 16
    Cross the now accessible bridge and follow the passage at the base of the tower to the right. Kill the vengeful spirits.
  17. 17
    Enter the opening. Place a regular portal on the floor pad and a charged portal on the wall pad nearby.
  18. 18
    Return outside and continue left. Hug the wall and look behind the next pillar to find a Boatman's Coin.
  19. 19
    From this location, look up and towards the stone arch above the stairs. Shoot the blue stone for a Stone of Mystics. Ascend the stairs and enter the door at the top.
  20. 20
    Kill the aryfids and corrupted angels.
  21. 21
    In the center of the circular platform, use Soul Splitter. Send each copy to one of the hanging beam switches on either side. Once both are activated, the floor will open, dropping Death into a portal below and across to the ledge above.
  22. 22
    Use the handholds to reach the top of the tower.
  23. 23
    At the top, activate the portal pad to your left. Continue and make a U-turn around the central pool of death fluid.
  24. 24
    Look north and activate the portal pad next to the activated golden sphere to cleanse the pool.
  25. 25
    Jump into the cleansed death fluid and follow the aqueduct north. At the second drop, look behind the falling water for a Relic of Renegoth.
  26. 26
    Continue north until you reach another circular pool.
  27. 27
    Follow the water until you reach yellow crystals on the left. Grab a bomb plant from opposite and use it to destroy the crystals.
  28. 28
    Climb the wall vine that was blocked by the crystals to access the balcony above. Enter the door.
  29. 29
    You are now back in the black waterfall room. One stream has been cleansed. Continue around the platform and exit the door on the other side.
  30. 30
    Cruise through the hallway and exit outside. Move forward and up the first flight of stairs. Jump over the railing to the right to find a chest.
  31. 31
    Climb back up. Return to the doorway you entered from. At the top of the stairs, you'll see a locked skull door. To your right, a yellow crystal blocks the path.
  32. 32
    Go left and drop down to the platform below. Enter the gate to encounter a new enemy: a corrupted champion. Defeat it, then kill the additional corrupted champion and corrupted angels that spawn. The door behind will open.
  33. 33
    Enter and turn left. Follow the hallway until it exits into the base of the tower.
  34. 34
    Check the opening to the left first and follow the outer wall south to find a Book of the Dead page hidden behind corruption.
