Your destination is a chamber with a new statue and an active lantern.

Keep going south and then turn west to find the lantern shown above.

Be cautious because after lifting it off the pressure plate you’ll be attacked bySkeletons.

Put the lantern down for a while and take care of the enemies.

Afterwards, pick the lantern up again and take it to the chamber with the statue.

There, face east and put it on the pressure plate seen on the above screen.

PC

When you do it, pick up the lantern and go down that corridor.

Same as before, wall-run when needed while going up the staircase.

Continue down to the lower floors until you reach the basement level.

PC

I strongly recommend bashing all the objects in that area.

Once you take it, move into the adjoining cavern.

The second Stone will also be heavily guarded, so get into a battle withScarabsandSkeletal Archers.

PC

Keep fighting until every enemy is down and only then approach the altar to take the secondAnimus Stone.

when you land it, go through the newly unlocked passageway.

Move to the adjoining chamber and look around for a chest first.

PC

Then, grab onto the ledge seen on the above screen and examine both balconies for aBoatman Coin.

Go back down and start climbing where shown on the screen, usingDeath Gripwhen necessary.

Once you’re up, turn around and grab onto a new handhold to get to another chest.

PC

After examining it, return to the opposite balcony and use the switch.

Same as before, approach the altar and useDeath Gripto place the second Stone on it.

You now have only one Stone left to find.

PlayStation

Go back to the upper balconies and take the north door shown on the above screen.

Winning this battle is not so difficult as it may seem.

Afterwards, examine the area thoroughly to pick up treasures and then enter the adjoining chamber.

Xbox

Ignore the lowered drawbridge and turn right.

Move past subsequent chambers until encounteringSkeletons,Skeletal WarriorsandSkeletal Championsin the last one.

After getting rid of the first group, you’ll be swarmed bySkeletonspopping out of walls.

Nintendo

Again, pick up treasures and move to the adjoining chamber.

Begin by standing on the pressure plate shown on the above screen.

Wait until the drawbridge is raised and useDeath Gripto catch the shadowbomb seen in the distance.

Darksiders II

Move to where the screen shows, which is near the throne.

Throw the shadowbomb at the right switch.

This will cause the whole structure to rotate and make it possible for you to enter a new area.

Approach the third altar and prepare for a battle.

You’ll be facing a mini-boss called aScarab Hulk.

Apart from that, watch out for the upper legs, though they’re much easier to dodge.

I recommend attacking the Scarab right after each jump, usingDeath Gripto get close to it in an instant.

Keep hitting the Scarab until you empty his health bar.

Go back near the throne.

Use the left switch and quickly run to the throne so that it rotated with you.

You now need to go back to the central part of the Gilded Arena, so head south.

Get ready for the boss battle.
