Darksiders 2 Weapons Guide

How To Unlock The Omega Blades Weapon

Weapon Location: After you receive Strife’s Redemption pistol, you’ll be able to use it to access Shadow Gorge by blowing up the Shadowbombs that are blocking access to the gate. The location is west of Stonefather’s Vale and the Maker’s Realm. Follow “The Shattered Forge” Quest. Detailed location shown in the video guide below.

Description: The Omega Blades were built, piece by piece, from the shattered weapons of slain angels. When wielded, the Omega Blades ignite with raging fires. Each strike of the scythes can cause opponents to erupt into flames, and those flames can spread to nearby enemies. This effect, known as the Omega Fire (its special ability if you level up the weapon), consumes all those who oppose the balance.

Special Ability: Omega Fire. Deliver a 1-2 punch; a downward cross followed by an uppercut.
