Death wants to save his brother, but the odds are against him. Survival is the key and if you don’t have the necessary equipment, the monstrous corrupt creatures will give you a hard time to get through. Darksiders 2 Legendary Items are the tools that can give you edge over the normal items with better offensive or defensive options.
However, before you can use them, you need to unlock/find them, which can be a tricky business. To facilitate you in your quest of finding these legendary items, we have this guide for you, giving on direction on how and where to find these items.
