GnoMAD’s Gnomes | Small quests — Darksiders 2 Game Guide
Last update: Wednesday, May 11, 2016
Unlocking the quest
This quest will appear in your log automatically upon finding one of four GnoMAD Gnomes. The remaining ones can be collected in any order, although the reward will be given to you only when have all four of them.
Below are their locations. Here’s when it’s best to start looking for them:
- The City of the Dead — during the main quest [The City of the Dead].
- The Ivory Citadel — during the main quest [Stains of Heresy].
- The Black Stone — during the main quest [The Lord of the Black Stone].
- Weeping Crag — while exploring the world freely, but not before unlocking Voidwalker.
GnoMAD Gnome — The City of the Dead
The Gnome can be found soon upon reaching the upper levels of the City of the Dead, right after dealing with the burning lift with spikes. Get to the pressure plate pictured above.
Make sure you’re not standing on the plate yourself, but somewhere around it. Use Soul Splitter and have the first half stand on the plate (the above screen).
Switch to the other soul and send it left, using Death Grip to latch on to the interactive handhold. Grab onto the following ones, BUT stop at the one which has been uncovered due to the pressure put on the plate (the above screen).
Switch back to the first half of the soul and step off the pressure plate. If you did everything according to plan, the wall with the edge the second half is still holding onto should turn. Switch back to it again and you’ll be free to explore the hidden part on the map (the above screen).
There are many treasures in the newly unlocked area, but the most important one is of course the GnoMAD Gnome (the above screen).
[TIP: If the Soul Splitter has been deactivated prematurely, try to stand closer to the pressure plate next time.]
GnoMAD Gnome — The Ivory Citadel
You can find the Gnome while exploring the western part of the Citadel. There is a flooded area, pictured above, which you can’t access at first due to the presence of a black goo.
That area becomes available after charging the yellow ball in the highest tower and turning the goo into water over the whole western part of the Citadel. You’re free to go through the hole in the wall shown on the screen.
Explore the small cave. The exact location of the GnoMAD Gnome is indicated on the map above.
GnoMAD Gnome — The Black Stone
The Gnome can be found during the last stage of exploring the Black Stone, right before going through the north gate which leads to Samael. I suggest starting off at the small lower corridor with a time portal (the above screen). Make sure, though, you’re in the present.
Locate the interactive ledges and handholds and make your way up.
You should find yourself at the west balcony; there, go through the passageway leading to the closed door you’ve unlocked earlier while exploring the fortress in the other time zone (the above screen).
The GnoMAD Gnome is at the aforementioned door opened with a Skeleton Key while in the past. Its exact location is indicated on the above map.
GnoMAD Gnome — Weeping Crag
You can find the Gnome upon reaching the north chamber of the ruins, pictured on the screen, though it’s only possible if you have Voidwalker (or Phasewalker), because you need to activate two portals first.
Jump into the water, dive in and you’ll find the place where the GnoMAD Gnome is hidden (the above screen). Its exact location is indicated on the above map.
Find a Serpent Tome
You’ll receive this objective only after collecting all four GnoMAD Gnomes. The game doesn’t give you any specified location of a Serpent Tome, but these objects can be found in every area with an NPC. My recommendation is going to [Tri-Stone] in Forge Lands. Interact with the Tome (the above screen) and read the contents of the message entitled A Gift From: GnoMAD to receive a gift in the form of a legendary weapon (GnoMAD Scythes). What distinguishes this scythe from the others is that it deals additional random elementary or magic damage. Apart from the weapon, you’ll also get 329 XP and 1500 gold.

When Death isn’t chuckling at the audacious concept of his own defeat, he’s off using his scythes to slice mortal beings into two or more pieces in Darksiders II . But to absolve his brother, War, he’ll have to do what he does worst — restore life to all of humanity. Given how far out of his comfort zone this task lies, some procrastination — like putting an entire universe-altering quest on hold to track down hundreds of collectibles- is understandable. Well, we’ve already found everything there is to find and created this massive guide to help anyone wanting to do the same. So get to it, Death. War is waiting, and he’s almost done with the second season of Game of Thrones.

Tips
Search in the indicated «Gnomad and get gnomad lengendar Gnomad». GnoMAD is a side quest that requires you to collect four very well hidden gnome statues. You can only complete this quest after reaching the last dungeon of the game. Each area can be revisited at any time, so don’t worry if you missed collectibles. There are no quests, and you don’t have to activate this quest manually for the gnomes to spawn. Just collect the gnomes whenever you want and return to the snake temple to claim your reward.
District: City of the Dead — Floor 4
Look for a hidden passage on the northwest balcony. You’ll find it behind a turntable that you can grab onto. Open the door with the switch, turn around and jump onto the pillar, then jump onto the wall and run to the left. Return to the hand grips and use Deadly Soul of Death to step off the nearby pressure plate, revealing a secret room.
Area: Ivory Citadel — Floor 3
After clearing the pool at the top of the westernmost tower, return to the north passage that was previously covered in slime on the third floor. To return to the top floor of the tower, follow the aqueduct and climb the wall, but do not exit through the door. Instead, drop down to the balcony below and climb back up to the top of the tower.
Area: Weeping Rock — Floor 3
To find the secret area, you must stumble upon a pressure plate/elevating platform puzzle on the third floor of Weeping Rock. In the past, the platform is a portal. Open it, then turn east and use the stairs, turn north and look up at the ceiling to open another portal. Activate it, then return to the previous portal — the two portals should now be connected and you will fall off the ceiling portal into a secret room. In the treasure room, dive into the northern waters to find a secret underwater tunnel.
Area: Black Stone — Floor 1 (present)
Wait until you open the door in the past. When you return to the Grand Foyer, check the northern ridge for handholds. Climb down the ledges and return to the present through the portal. While in the present, go upstairs using the hand grips to the north and go through the now open westernmost door. The gnome is further down the corridor.

Good day to all! While going through Dishonored, I don’t know how many times, I noticed in the incentive that in Darksiders II I don’t have all the achievements. I looked and was surprised that I don’t even have an achievement for the completed game. I strained my memory and remembered that at that time the Internet was turned off for me, I played offline and therefore the achievements were given «for fun». I decided to go through again and present you the achievements for this game and how to get them. So let’s get started!

Darksiders II
1. Crow Carrion
Defeat the Elder Crow nerves) you will have to kill the old man who keeps a bunch of souls that you gave him. The transition from dialogue to fight was, frankly, blunt.

Darksiders II
Dust to Dust
Defeat the Guardian At the first meeting, you will see how he offends the old man, whose parents were like Gandalf and the god Odin in his youth with 2 eyes. The battle with him reminded me of the game Shadow of the Colossus. We run around the boss, wait until he hits you with a hammer, shoot the bombs on the hand, which will fall off from the explosion, with the help of a grip we are transferred to the stone and hollow it with a scythe. After removing the stone from the hand, the Guardian will start releasing koloboks from 2 limbs (I thought that if he did it from the anus, it would look more natural), jump on the horse, shoot at guano koloboks, they roll towards us, we run between the legs of the Guardian, making sure that he does not crush us. The gingerbread man crashes into the boss, the arm falls off, we climb up the ledges to the stone and hammer it like an experienced miner. After extracting the stone, the boss is defeated, the achievement is yours.
