Darksiders 2 video walkthrough | Boss Guide: How to beat Basileus / Achidna

Death is out to clear his brother's name and restore order to the realm by resurrecting humanity. To do this, he'll have to smash his way through legions of boss battles, uncover a variety of secrets, and try his best to keep his skull mask from getting dirty. Vito Gesualdi helps you get it done in this video walkthrough!

Boss Guide: How to beat Basileus / Achidna

Basileus is no pushover, much stronger than the other two spirits we've fought. Use your summoning powers to bring forth some distractions for him to fight, dodging Basileus's attacks then using deathgrip to close the gap and lay into him.

After doing some damage, Basileus will hop aboard his ant mutant ride: Achidna. Achidna has some devastating electric moves, so keep your distance and dodge the charges, then use Deathgrip to get in for some damage.

Repeat these simple steps while using your most powerful abilities to bring down this giant monster, and you'll get the Achidna's Fangs weapon as a reward!
