Darksiders Treasure Chest Requires Glitch Hopping to Access?

While playing Darksiders for my upcoming review, I noticed a treasure chest across a room that has had the center flooring gutted out. In other words, it seemed pretty inaccessible, but this is treasure we’re talking about, so there’s no way I was just going to pass it up. I looked around for standard “you can climb this” identifiers like horizontal beams and the honeycomb looking surface that lets you scale walls and ceilings like  Spider-Man, but nothing seemed to lead far across the room enough to access it.

In the end, I was able to make my way across and open the chest (which unlocked the level map), but I can’t help but feel that my method was not the way the developers intended on us using. Watch the video below and chime in if you’ve gotten to this point and accessed the chest by another means.

As a final note before you watch this, the quality of the video is pretty bad as I do not have a High Def means to transfer gameplay just yet.

    Is there not a Zelda or Batman-like item you get later on to get over there? Odd.

    I thought about that Sam but there would really be no point. The dungeon is empty now and the boss within it has been killed. Plus, the chest only contains a map of the dungeon. So really it would be pointless once you have found the boss and cleared it. There may have been another way to it that I missed but I looked around that room for a good bit.

    Maybe it's a remnant of a previous level design, then.

    When I played that level the room fills with water just after this part. You can then swim to the treasure chest… pretty sure it did anyways… is it the one with the train turntable puzzle in it?

    That would be it sir. So I guess I was supposed to wait for the room to fill with water….oops! :)

    Has anyone found how to get the chest in or on the topmost building on Drowned Pass? Its the one that “on the map” look like its right next to the Armageddon Blade piece.
