Darksiders Keyboard & Controller Controls
Vigil's Darksiders sends War through a Zelda-shaped apocalypse, so the gear keys matter as much as the sword. THQ's PC manual prints the keyboard and Xbox 360 columns on facing pages; the Wrath powers below are the Caps Lock chords the keyboard half uses in place of the pad's ability menu.
