Puzzle-breaking bug in Shadow Helm[DLC area]
I dropped the ball onto the bridge, turned the bridge, and...well I'm not entirely sure how this happened, but the puzzle broke and I can't proceed in this area.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=820449126
I tried saving/restarting, pushing the ball switch again, jumping for it, and landing on it(I can stand on it, but that doesn't help).
What do I do?

As this areas bugs were posted OVER ONE YEAR AGO... I am guessing the devs don't give a crap. Sad.. Just bought the whole Darksiders bundle a couple weeks ago. WAS looking forward to D3.. but with the amount of crashes and this dungeon killing bug might skip on that.

NOT INSPIRING CONFIDENCE THQ.

just came here because i got your bug. I use an xbox controller and i just spammed B (which is action bing) and right trigger (which is the ball throw) and eventually it budged

Sadly, no. I also never finished DLC 3(the one on earth) because it soft locked 100% of the time in one spot. Dunno if they fixed that yet, but if this still happens I kinda doubt it.

Same here... just happened to me, almost half of one year after your post. Any clues on how to solve it?

Holy crap this post is still relevant?

Agreed. I hope Darksiders 3 is good but...I'm not hyped for it either. Darksiders 2 was fun when it worked, but otherwise an unfinished mess. I also think replacing Conquest and Famine with Strife and Fury is just silly, so I'm not looking forward to playing as one of them.

Ha! Sorry for the necro. Unfortunately, some bugs never die it seems. Looking at the D3 community page, looks like there are quite a few bugs from D2 that were never addressed. I guess the best way to get a response is to post there. Devs nowadays seem to only focus on current projects, and act as if they have no resposibility to the fans that bought their old games.


RE: Fury and Strife... not as pumped about playing them as I was about Death and War, but they were a part of the original comic book design so I won't give them too much crap for that. Would rather they give an option to play all 4 in D3.

I figured out a really janky solution to this problem. If you get the ball on the bridge, stand SUPER close to it (preferably off to one side) and Soul Split. 1/3 of the time, the transformation will push the ball. (if it starts moving, try running behind it to push it a little further.) Try to Soul Split it to the end of the bridge with the gap in it. As close to the edge as you can get it.
Then do the regular wall run and stuff to turn the bridge. The ball SHOULD roll off the bridge and onto the platform as it turns.
Once it's on the platform, you can grab it like normal and roll it into it's special hole.

Well, thanks for replying! I am not sure I'll go back and take a look after all this time, but if I do I'll give your solution ago. I can imagine that I would have spammed action button like mad back then, but who knows?

Had the same issue. A mix of both suggestions above worked for me:

1) The physics of using Soul Splitter near the sphere allowed me to drag it around a bit.

2) Pressing "B" and "RT" (hold/push keys) fast and repeatedly close to the sphere, until I managed to grab and throw it somewhere else.

Good luck!

answer kinda found, but janky. spam the Roll and Shove buttons and occassionally death will manage to pull off the animation and yeet the ball. 50/50 chance if itll go forwards or backwards

What a horrid bug that never got fixed, important they published DETHINITIVE EDITION.
Bunch of other bugs along the way as well. Constant crashes when using Soul Splitter or in Arbritrers maze if you crit too many times...

It hasnt seemed to be a common bug so they probably dont even know that it is/was a thing
