How to unlock the Pay It Forward achievement in Darksiders II - Definitive Guide

April 4th, 2017 - If it wasn't clear in the update history of this thread, this is not obtainable and hasn't been since 2016 , it has been flagged as discontinued by TA as well. Sorry all.

Dec 20th, 2016 - THQNordic has responded through Twitter saying fixing the trophy for the PS3 version isn't something they can do. We can only assume they have no plans to fix the achievement for Xbox 360 either. https://twitter.com/ElMegalomator/status/799252382509105152 .If you wish to continue the fight I encourage you to post on their social media and forums.

At time of writing Mar 16, 2016 the achievement appears to unobtainable again, I'll make another update should one come about

As of Feb 16th, 2014 the achievement is once again live. Share, share, share!

Crucible pass no longer seems to be required.
Mental Knight 5 Confirmed that you can get this with On Demand version (without buying Crucible Pass)
**The achievement appears now to have been discontinued**
Should server issues be sorted and restored I'll update again


Update courtesy of JAGERMEISTER TXDec 3rd, 2013

Update, finally, from Megalomaniac -

Guys,
Please stay calm about this. This is not in our fault! The achievement is dependent on the online environment from THQ. We also acquired this but unfortunately Microsoft changed in June some security certificates and while we are working with Microsoft since August (it took 1,5 months to figure out its not the actual online environment) on this issue we are totally dependent on their help about it.

I will not rest before this issue is fixed.

I am sorry for not giving you regular updates about it recently.

Per our thread on Nordic. We'll keep hammering away at them.
http://forum.nordicgames.at/showthread.php?180751-Darksiders...

Your first opportunity to unlock is fairly close to the beginning of the game.

On your way to meet Alya at the Tri-Stone you'll come across a Serpent Tome, it's basically an offline/online drop box of sorts. Accessing the online portion of it requires you to have redeemed your Crucible Pass Code which comes free with all new games or can be purchased additionally for 800 MSP.

With the online drop open, select someone from your friends list who also has the game and has activated their Pass, then gift them an item from your inventory.

Soon as you send it off, achievement unlocked :)

**Comments are indicating you can also obtain this by sending an item to backup account.
**I can't confirm myself but HappyG01 mentions this can be done by sending to a Silver account.

Serpent Tome locations: (If you've come across more please comment and I'll update)
- TriStone
- Below deck of Eternal Throne
- The Crystal Spire
- Earth, upstairs just across from the portal
- Shadows Edge, inside the first door down the road from the Tree of Death

Alternatively you can post in the trading thread to fins another member to swap with

I didn't create the video so thanks go to Achievaholics over at Youtube

So you're at the tome, click over to the Xbox LIVE inbox and when you go to "add gift" it gives you an error or when you've already selected a friends name with the game and online pass? Try flat out turning content controls off and maybe a cache clear of the game in your memory settings.

Thanks for the solution. I was able to send this to a backup gold account, but only after I started a game with it. Someone should check if can work with a silver account.

I don't know why but when pressing RB to Xbox LIVE inbox it always shows "An error occurred when retrieveing mail. Please try again later". I'm on Silver membership. I don't have a friend on my friend list yet but I've already set the Xbox Privacy setting to allow text messages. Is this an Internet connection problem, no friend problem, or membership problem?

@ImaginaryRuins. I've had that error once, left the tome and opened again and no issue. Beyond that you may want to ask the dev. I'd try the offical Darksiders forum.

the anonymous gifts you received are in your "offline" inbox, this requires you to send a gift to a friend through the "online" Xbox LIVE box. I'll log into Xbox.com and accept your request now, I cleared a bunch of room and pending requests with no messages attached.

@Sambaweb, same here, I've been looking up pretty much every Darksiders 2 forum even slightly related to the issue and haven't had any luck so far. According to the "Recent Winners" section on this page, the last gamers to unlock the achievement did so back on June 29th. Kinda wish I went for this when I did my Bean Dive. I've done this achievement before on a previous Gamertag, so I know how it's done, but for some reason it just won't work now D:

First words in months from Nordic -

"Hello,

Its not a Complete Collection - its a "Collection". Unfortunately it would be very difficult to release all the DLCs on X360 because of certain guidelines by Microsoft. To have parity we decided to only include the two most important DLCs.

About the pay it forward achievement issue:
We are still working on that and trying to solve the issue on the X360. When that is solved the service will go online again on all platforms. "

It's unobtainable for the foreseeable future after reading THQNordic's tweet linked above. They don't seem to have the want / will to fix it. Sorry everyone. The flag for this achievement already reflects it as well. I'd suggest if you want to continue the fight to engage them directly through social media and their forums.

I do however know that people have filed complaints on video games for similar reasons in the past. This might be an option to consider, as people are posting everywhere with no response from THQ Nordic. The link to their BBB page is as follows:

So, unless I'm mistaken, there's no warning in the BFA solutions as well nor in the walkthrough. I just finished the game and would like confirmation if there is or isnt a way to unlock BFA because of this one achievement Pay It Forward. After playing this game for so many hours it would be nice to know before uninstalling it.

Well there might not be a warning in the solution but the achievement and the game is marked with discontinued achievements.
As far as i know it hasnt been fixed. So yeah, you cant get BFA if you cant get Pay It Forward

Thanks.
If you check my profile you'll see that I just completed all the achievements that are, with 100% certainty, possible as of Sep 2017. That is, all but Pay It Forward (and therefore BFA). If BFA was fixed to unlock when all those were completed except Pay It Forward I would have it by now. That doesn't seem the case, so I can empirically say that BFA is, of present, unobtainable. Similar experiences would be welcomed, of course. I don't remember buying this game, it must've been GwG, so probably other people must've got it and play it that way too.

I'm not sure how this was done but as an example a Call of Duty World at War modder can pop any achievement in any order including campaign in a MP or Zombie match all Online. Basically I'm saying where there's a will there's a way. I'm not saying kole 100% cheated it but I will say it is highly unlikely he is the golden goose able to get into a closed server .

I've asked the guy through PM and he answered: "Hello, received not long ago this achievement, like everything worked." The thing is, I have the game installed and ready to go (call it fool's hope if you wish) and with a save right by the Serpent's Statue. So it was easy to check today if it was fixed and working again... and it is NOT. At least not for me. So, yeah, either the guy cheated or for some mysterious reason the game decided to work just for him. I'm kinda torn about reporting him for that team who checks out that sort of cheating since I don't care about ratio and badges that much anymore and after all it's just entertainment and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Aww man, discontinued achievements make me sad!

In the unlikely event that THQ ever gets serious about making this achievement available again, my recommendation is rather then bring the servers online again perhaps they could change the requirement for the achievement in a patch to something that can be done offline.

Just a thought.

I wouldn't think so, but hey, dreams are free right?

I know of precisely one example of an achievement being changed in "Destiny 2". Obviously this was on the Xbox One, so I don't know if the 360 would have more issues in changing it or not.

Perhaps someone familiar with THQ forums could ask, not that I think that would do anything, but it couldn't hurt.

I agree, they really thinking we're angry over 10G.
Dude I dont give a flying **** over my score, I only care to finish my games to 100% completion, the fact that this is now an impossibility (unless THQnordic gets off their asses about it and gives us a work around) is infuriating beyond measure for me.

Same with Transformers: War for Cybertron, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and the F.E.A.R. series having their servers shut down means I can't really play those games now on my new permanent account cause of the 100% completion impossibility.

This, is why I hate any and all achievements/trophies (I play PS as well) that are tied to MP components.

Update, finally, from Megalomaniac -

Guys,
Please stay calm about this. This is not in our fault! The achievement is dependent on the online environment from THQ. We also acquired this but unfortunately Microsoft changed in June some security certificates and while we are working with Microsoft since August (it took 1,5 months to figure out its not the actual online environment) on this issue we are totally dependent on their help about it.

I will not rest before this issue is fixed.

I am sorry for not giving you regular updates about it recently.


Per our thread on Nordic. We'll keep hammering away at them.

I have tried every input including D-pad, all the letter buttons, back, start, triggers, etc. What am I doing wrong? I have the GoD version and have not been prompted for a Crucible pass or anything.

Just had confirmation - this achievement is unobtainable again:
Dear customer,
We are really sorry for the inconvenience.
The mailbox features are currently not working in the Darksiders II Tome System (the online portion of the game that allows players to gift weapons and gear). This prevents the players from getting the achievement/trophy for gifting an item (Pay it Forwards).
We apologize that we are not able to help you out right now and we assure you that we will do our best to bring the servers online again and to solve this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!
Please feel free to contact us anytime.

Best regards,

Out of those two, one has the achievements out of order, while the other has the achievement for unlocking everything while only having completed half of the achievements. Something seems fishy.

On another note, I've tried registering on Nordic Games' forums to ask about the issue, but I never received the confirmation e-mail, so I could never actually post there. I also tried contacting @ElMegalomator on twitter as he seemed to be very helpful when this achievement broke in 2013, but he never replied. Don't know which other channels to go through atm.

Maybe they'll correct it one day. Maybe the issue is part Microsoft too cause I checked on our Playstation site, truetrophies, and nothing is said about any issue concerning Pay it forward. So the issue is Xbox only. Please continue to write to them and let's hope they'll repair it before no one care about old generation anymore. In the meantime, I will personally complete the game in the exception of those 2 and have an eye on this topic from time to time.

By ParadoxReal8 on 09 Dec 2016 23:59
It is definitely not a Microsoft issue, it is (as it has been before when Pay it Forward has had issues) THQNordic's fault that the achievement is unobtainable. As can be seen on TrueTrophies, the person who got the achievement last was on Feb 11th, which actually corresponds with the people who got it last on Xbox, also Feb 11th. It is most likely on that day that the server(s) went down. I started playing Darksiders 2 Feb 16th this year, and I noticed the issue back then. At that point noone had made any comments about any issues here or on other Xbox sites, and I would never have started this game if I knew about the problem.

It does not seem like this will ever get fixed. THQNordic have largely ignored any questions on the issue, and recently the only word I could find was this tweet from a "higher up" in the company: https://twitter.com/ElMegalomator/status/799252382509105152

The reason people are confused is because you never said whether or not it is obtainable. You have several strings of text with strike-through, which I can only imagine is because of updates, but still is confusing. I found this confusing until I read recent comments, and still a little confused.

Because you say that it has been half a decade since you posted the solution, and have been replying to comments saying it is unobtainable. Well do not know if you noticed but thousands of people have unlocked the achievement during those five years and up until very recently online. I am guessing you realize this, but just pointing out this is why people are confused.

And 90% of the games that they bring out got glitches or broken chivos laugh

if they put some time and effort in it, nothing is impossible. But they prever to copy paste the code to another definitive edition and obtain a bad company name clap

I loved THQ and Jowood and it pains me to see how they are threating those games. I truly developed a deep hatred for nordic, they dont care about the gamers only about the $$.

I hate it when these dumbasses come into a thread, and tell people to stop griping about 1 achievement for 10gs! It's not about the points!!! If people were simply focused on raising their score to the moon... they would play EVERYTHING that was free, that yielded points! It's about getting a 100% completion... a fairly good feeling, that you completed all the objectives in a game. Not everyone can play a game when it first comes out, or even necessarily has the time to pound-out all the achievements as soon as they can!

The point is... it's ONLY 10 points, and Microshaft could simply work with the developers, to have the game programmed to unlock these achievements automatically, when someone starts playing the game - whether they played it on day-one, or is just now starting it. It isn't like 10 or 20 points given away, is going to alter the balance of gamerscore leader boards. Besides... if everyone on Xbox who never played it, did... it isn't like gamerscore leaderboards would topple because of it!

I haven't played this (even though I own a digital copy), but if I could trade the points from a partially played game I have (there are QUITE A FEW that have closed server issues) to get these two unobtainable achievements... I would do it in a heartbeat (not to mention get rid of a game I can't 100%)!!

Unobtainable due to server closure.

The servers for this game have always been bad but in February 2016, they were closed without warning so this trophy is now no longer possible. This only affects the PS3 version since the PS4 release has no online trophies.

Requires the Crucible Online Pass
You must be online for this trophy and have a friend that is also playing Darksiders 2. If you do not have any friends playing the game, you can find someone from the Trophy Boosting thread to help you.

Head to any of the Serpent Tome's in the game and access it—the first of which is located in Tri-Stone. Press to select the Online Inbox. Then go to "Add Gift..." and a list of your friends will appear. Choose the one that has the game and send them any item you want from your list. Close the tome and shortly thereafter the trophy will unlock.

Another method is to create a separate account on your PS3 and add it as a friend on your main account. Now play Darksiders II on your alternate account, log off and send an item to it from your main account.

Online trophy. You need to select from your PSN friends list someone who also has Darksiders II and send him any item from your inventory as a gift. You can send it at the beginning of the game from the forge using a tome (a green illuminated snake with a book)
In order to send a gift, you must first activate the Crucible Pass, which comes with a new copy of the game or is sold on PSN.

We simply send a gift to any user who has the game. As soon as the gift is gone, the trophy will pop out

If suddenly you have no friends or no one from your friends list has played Darksiders. Just go to another profile (or create a new one) on your console and launch the game from it. (You may have to get to the first first folio) Then, go back to your profile and give yourself a gift through the folio.

I tried for a long time to send a gift to everyone, but this was the only way I managed to get the trophy.

PS Did anyone even understand what the person above wrote? :~

PPS Everything is clear. You need to have TWO PSN accounts on one PS3 (you will have to create another one). Start the player on a new account (get to the first save option so that you appear in the game server statistics), and then start the game on the main account (on which you usually play). And then send a gift from it through the folio to a new account. The trophy is yours.
