Walkthrough for The Ash Lands in Darksiders. Learn how to navigate the treacherous sands, activate Chronospheres, and defeat enemies to progress through this challenging campaign area.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon exiting the tunnel, stay on solid ground. Use the Chronosphere floating to your right to cross the sand to a rocky pathway.
  2. 2
    At the top, float across a gap to another rocky area and kill Phantom Guard Angels. Collect the Blue Soul Chest and descend into a tunnel.
  3. 3
    Activate the Chronosphere (left) and make your way to the safe spot (right) across the sand.
  4. 4
    Drop down the cliff and make your way outside. Follow the wooden platform up and around the back of a wooden structure, past an open doorway.
  5. 5
    At the end of the path, climb the demonic growth and pick up the Blue Soul Chest. Drop down and enter the wooden building.
  6. 6
    Use the demonic growth inside to traverse a gap. Use the switch at the far end to lower a Chronosphere, then return to the cave entrance. Activate the Chronosphere and run across to the rocky platform to the west.
  7. 7
    Follow this platform until the sand worm destroys a piece of it. Jump across the newly formed gap.
  8. 8
    Make your way along the path. After dispatching demons from the building to the right, drop down below the building and use the demonic growth on the wall to climb up.
  9. 9
    To the right of the entrance, head up the climbable spot and hit the switch to lower a Chronosphere into the room below.
  10. 10
    Drop down and enter the building. Use the demonic growth to climb the wall, cruise across the ceiling, and land safely on the opposite side, avoiding the spinning blade by activating the Chronosphere to slow it down.
  11. 11
    Jump across the gap to more demonic growth and climb up to the next rocky outcrop. Cross the bridge to the two circular wooden buildings. Make your way to the far one and use the shadow flight geyser to reach the platform.
  12. 12
    Inside, find the demonic growth on the left side of the building and climb it. In the room at the top, defeat the Demonic Soldiers. Locate the bombs and the Chronosphere. Activate the Chronosphere, grab a bomb, and jump down. Toss the bomb on the red crystals to destroy them.
  13. 13
    Return to the room with the Chronosphere and use the button to lower it.
  14. 14
    Drop down to the previous platform and enter the structure. Activate the Chronosphere, then use the demonic growth on the right to traverse the roof and land on the higher platform while avoiding the spinning blade.
  15. 15
    Climb the nearby demonic growth to find yourself on a platform bridging the two structures. Look for a chest containing Rage on the side area opposite where you climbed up.
  16. 16
    Cross the bridge to the second building. Throw the switch to lower the Chronosphere and repeat the process: activate it, climb the growth, avoid the fan, and land on the higher platform.
  17. 17
    Exit to the walkway outside and climb to the top of the building. Hit the switch here to raise a drill, giving access to a cave system underneath. Drop to the ground and down the hole to continue.
  18. 18
    You will land in a large pool of water. Dive to the bottom and look for Artefact: Soldier along the west wall.
  19. 19
    Re-surface and find Artefact: Overlord on a ledge above the pool.
  20. 20
    Find the path leading out of the water and enter the large highway tunnel.
  21. 21
    Look to the roof for Demonic Plants. Destroy the crystal to the left of the entrance and drag the crate beneath the first demonic plant. Drop off the platform for a Blue Soul Chest. Hit the plant with your cross-blade so it drops the block, then jump and hang onto the crate. As the plant lifts the crate, float across to the blue crystal nearby.
  22. 22
    Destroy the crystal to uncover a Chronosphere. Return to the ledge and look for a small tunnel to the left of the entrance with two Demonic Plants above it. Use the Chronosphere and quickly make your way across the room and into the tunnel.
  23. 23
    From the tunnel entrance, look out to the main area and upwards to see a red crystal hanging from the roof. Enter the room and find the Chronosphere tucked away behind something.
