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
Crucible pass no longer seems to be required.
Should server issues be sorted and restored I'll update again
Update courtesy of JAGERMEISTER TXDec 3rd, 2013
Update, finally, from Megalomaniac -
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.
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

Also very interested to know if anyone has created a weapon with health, wrath steal and critical chance over 30%, this is on a possessed lv30 primary with initial 250 damage.
Now is the time to harass these idiots... they're putting out a fucking collection now...
"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. "

The same old song it seems...
While I am in the the tome-menu and select the
Xbox-live Inbox, I get a error-message.
Edit: After resetting my Router, the game was able to connect to the server.
Either way, it's awesome i can 100% this game i enjoy playing.
Nevermind, the achievement isn't in that version, they've got their own bugged achievements though.

Seems like he hacked the achievement....
works great. thanks.
The 1000g is also bugged for the one remaster for a year....
Now it's backwards compatible, hoping this gets fixed soon
down again for a while.
Thank you for using the Better Business Bureau's Online Complaint System.
Your complaint has been assigned case # 546018.
As far as i know it hasnt been fixed. So yeah, you cant get BFA if you cant get Pay It Forward
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.

My best memories about Darksiders 2 is that I hated it from the bottom of my heart and I learn to hate THQNordic too.
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 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.
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.
Prattalmighty must really regret to have post that solution, isn't it?

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,
Nordic Games Support-Team
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.
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
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.
Thanks for your link
Some tweets in the conversation were so funny.
Maybe they arent the original devs but how comes that they can fix gothic 4 for playstation but the xbox version still remains broken.
And 90% of the games that they bring out got glitches or broken chivos
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
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 $$.
sorry /rant over
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.

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.

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? :~
