Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition Keyboard Controls
Death takes over from War in Vigil's sequel, trading the first game's gear-heavy puzzling for loot, skill trees and a horse you can call from almost anywhere. The keys come from THQ's 2012 PC manual; the Deathinitive Edition's Key Bindings screen opens on the same WASD and Space rows. Wrath abilities sit on the number row once assigned from the Tab radial menu.
