Darksiders 2 Walkthrough Part 8 – The Fire of the Mountain, Part 4

The Charred Pass
As you enter the Pass you will notice a large log to the left. After dispatching the Construct Warriors here head into the log to find another Boatman's coin. Now head to the Northwest. You will find a wide and shallow pool of water spread here with Constructs guarding it. Slice your way over to the Well that sits more in the middle of this area. Dive into the Well and swim to the bottom. Turn to the Northwest from there and swim up into the shallow cave. Turn around and you will find a post and a wall you can run up. Do so to easily climb and get to the other side of the room. After that, hit the water again. As you head back through be sure to stop and collect the Boatman's Coin that is sitting the mouth of the Well.

Turn to the West from there to find an open a chest. There are 2 Construct Warriors in front of it. Defeat them and open the chest. Turn to the Southwest and start through the passages there. As you head on through you will find another set of ruins to explore. Head inside it and explore you will find a a chest at the very top. Head over to the right and climb up the wooden planks and jump over to the beams. Run across the wooden beams from there then run up the wall and over to the right. Here you will find a chest at the very top for you to claim. After that just drop to the ground and continue over to the Northwest. Just follow the trail onwards to reach the Gate.

When Despair vanishes then it is time to move on and cross the bridge. There you will find Karn battling a number of Construct Warriors. It is time to throw down hard here and help Karn beat them all. Lay into them and just be careful not to get surrounded. After that, you can talk with Karn. If you have “A Shaman's Craft” then be sure to ask about “Your shaman's craft”. After that choose “A Favor” to get another side quest, “Lost and Found”, to return Karn's dish to him. After that, just take the final 2 options of “Who are you?” and “Fire of the Mountain” to learn a bit more.

Head over to the door to the West. Before you go in though turn to the North and head along the narrow ledge there. At the end of it you will find a chest that you can loot before going in. Anything here will be a help in the future. After that go and open the door to enter into the Cauldron proper.

The Cauldron
*As the Cauldron is a location on the map you can now use Fast Travel to move between it and Tri-Stone quickly. This makes it a lot easier to keep your potions stocked and everything else up to date.

Once inside head over to the switch that Dust is on. Activate it to unlock the Western door. Head on through it. In this room you have 2Construct Warriors wandering around it. You need to tear through them first just to make life a lot easier overall. Head over to the Southern side of the bell in front of you moving West. As you approach the back of the room the 2 Construct Warriors will attack Death. Defeat them and head over to the chest on the Western side to collect the loot inside the chest. There is a second chest just to the North of this one but you need to head over to the Northeast to find what you need to clear it: Shadow Bombs. You will find them just South of the door leading to the North. Collect one and follow the prompts to plant it on the switch across the pit. Now grab a second and head over to the chest that is underneath the yellow growths. Aim and throw the Shadow Bomb on it to blast away the covering and let you get at the chest underneath. Collect the goods and head for the Northern door. As you approach it 2 more Construct Warriors will appear and attack Death. It is very easy to trick them into falling into the lava below. Defeat them and head into the next room. In this room and you have 2 more Construct Warriors to fight here. Defeat them and head for the Northern Door once again.
