Darksiders II – How to Conquer Soul Arbiter’s Maze

One of the sidequests that you can take in Darksiders II is to go through the labyrinth of Arbiter in the Kingdom of the Dead. With a maze like dungeon structure, you can expect to get lost easily but if you somehow managed to collect all of the pieces that tells you which path to go to, you can reach the end without any hassle.

Since it is very hard to collect all of the pieces, we’ll tell you right here the path that you need to take. In the guide below, you will see a Secret Direction and the Next Level Direction. For those who wants to get loots from every level, do the ‘Secret Direction’ first. If you want to go ahead and reach the next level, follow the ‘Next Level Direction’.

Please take note that at every direction that you go to, you will face wave of monsters. Be sure that you’re ready and have stocked up lots of potions.

Secret Direction: South, East
Next Level Direction: North, West

Level 2 – Apprehension

  1. level 10 is ascension not apprehension, but good guide helped a lot on the pieces that i didnt find through the game.

  2. if you complete a level and exit the maze you can return to that level if you select it in the book before the entrance. this way you can go through the maze and come back and get secrets later. or leave to get potion and come back later

  3. What if you take a wrong turn? How do you get back on track? Starting the sequence over from any room doesn’t seem to work… For example, do you have to backtrack to the level starting point (if you can remember it) after getting the treasure?

  4. FYI: when I went for the loot on Level 5 the SECOND time, in Game+, the special weapon was (hopefully for you too) already gotten so nothing is there. HOWEVER, with nothing to pick up, the return portal isn’t opened so you HAVE to quit and get back to Level 5 by reading the book again. Make sure you select 5 because it defaults to putting you in at Level 1…

  5. PERFERCT!!! I got in the game only scroll with guide 1-4 lvl. Thanks to my mistakes i feel like to go through 100 waves of crucible :D
    BTW do you have also problem to hit the place for interaction to go to N,W,E,S? I have to run like idi.t and keep pressing the button. :)

  6. Level 10 keeps repeating to get to Soul Arbitor, I dont think its correct but 1-9 are on the mark

  7. The directions for level ten don’t work you just keep facing more and more monsters. What’s the deal, is there a correct path to take?

  8. It works. After passing the secret. Exit the dungeon then come back to level X. N follow the directions to go further.
