How to Kill the Big Blue Spider in Darksiders

Building Up Your Character

• 1

  Prepare for battle. Some games encourage you to speed through, avoiding fights when possible. "Darksiders" is different. War can be customized by increasing his scythe, sword and gauntlet skills and unlocking new wrath skills.

• 2

  Search your environment carefully. There are soul, wrath and health chests to plunder. Doing this builds up your character's stats.

• 3

  Battle defensively at the start because Big Blue is tough.

Learning Your Enemy

• 4

  Examine Big Blue's attack patterns. This sub-boss has three favorite moves: Stomp, Charge and Breathe.

• 5

  Sync with Big Blue. Whenever you see Big Blue jump in the air, make War jump in the air. Big Blue's stomp attack will only affect you if you're on the ground. As the battle progresses, Big Blue does this more often.

• 6

  Dash twice in the opposite direction whenever Big Blue charges. Big Blue also loves to rush into melee range. Like his Stomp attack, the Charge deals an incredible amount of damage. It should also be avoided.

• 7

  Hurl your chain and snag a cocoon. Feed the cocoon to Big Blue whenever he uses his third move, Breathe. To use the Breathe attack, Big Blue will stop and inhale.

Slaying Big Blue

• 8

  Wait for Big Blue to inhale.

• 9

  Feed him a cocoon.

• 10

  Run around behind him and use your chain to close with him.

• 11

  Attack him while he's eating the cocoon. If he's not dead, return to fighting defensively until Big Blue inhales. Then repeat by feeding him a cocoon and attacking him until he's dead.
