Darksiders 3
Secret ending
Progress through Darksiders 3 to eventually encounter the Lord Of The Hollows. This character will give you one final gift, but only if you visit him very late in the game. Then, complete the following tasks:
1. Go to the Scar and find a gust of wind. Use Hollow power to ride up and follow this new passage to find the demon Abraxas. When you speak with Abraxas, you can choose to betray the Lord Of Hollows or kill Abraxas. Choose to kill Abraxas to initiate an optional boss fight. Collect the Soul Of Abraxas after defeating the boss.
2. Return to the Lord Of The Hollows. You can fast travel to the Lord Of The Hollows Chamber from any Serpent Hole. Once you return, you will have the option to “Spare the Lord Of The Hollows” or “Kill the Lord Of The Hollows”. Choose to “Spare the Lord Of The Hollows” to unlock the best ending and get the “A Parting Gift” achievement.
All Chunks Of Adamantine locations
Search the indicated locations to find all three Chunks Of Adamantine items, which are rare material that are required to fully upgrade a weapon to Level 10. You only need one chunk to fully upgrade a weapon, but you need to find three to get the “Purity Of Power” achievement.
1. Haven, North End: Face the church from the Serpent Hole and turn left. Go to the giant root and grapple to the root on the opposite side. Use the Fire Hollow and grapple-swing across two more roots to reach a balcony. There is a free Level Up (Luminous Visage) on the balcony. Swing from the balcony, then turn the corner and enter the building. Use the Force Hollow to break through the barrier to find a Chunk Of Adamantine down the stairs inside.
2. Bonelands, Cargo Ship: Cross the acid pool area nearby with the Storm Hollow. On the other side, go left and around to the back of the building with the squid jump pad. Proceed to the back corner of that building and wall-jump up the shaft using Stasis Hollow. Then, switch to the Force Hollow and roll across the magnetic surface. At the end, jump across the floating containers in the acid lake to reach the small island with a Chunk Of Adamantine.
3. Scar: Go up the conveyor belt section using Stasis Hollow, and reach the moving platforms you can ride. Ride to the end, then drop down to the grinders. Use Stasis Hollow to freeze the grinders, and slide down to find a Chunk Of Adamantine. There is also a human collectible on this path.
All Essence Of A Chosen locations
Search the indicated locations to find all Essence Of A Chosen items, which are required to fully upgrade enhancements. One can be purchased from the vendor after defeating the first six Deadly Sins. The other five drop from hidden mini-bosses.
1. Hollows, Molten Cave: Backtrack down the stairs and cross the lowered shortcut bridge. Proceed up the stairs to the left, then go left again to reach a hidden door. Use the crawlspace to reach a switch to open the secret door. Enter the secret door and defeat the mini-boss inside to get an Essence Of A Chosen.
2. Haven, West End: Enter the parking garage, and use Stasis Hollow to climb the elevator shaft. At the top, use Force Hollow to roll across the gap. Defeat the mini-boss inside to get an Essence Of A Chosen.
3. Bonelands, Cargo Ship: Use Storm Hollow to cross the acid lake. Knock down the squid-platform, and move it left to reach the rooftop. Enter the building to find a mini-boss. Defeat it to get an Essence Of A Chosen.
4. The Depths, Forgotten Lake: Enter the water, and sink to the lower left doorway. In this interior, press the switches to open the gate. Go inside and float up. Once you emerge, use Force Hollow to climb the crystal wall. Defeat the mini-boss in the arena to get an Essence Of A Chosen.
5. Scar: Ride the moving hanging platforms, then jump onto the balcony on the left and drop into the arena. Defeat the mini-boss in the arena to get an Essence Of A Chosen.
