How to unlock the The Book of the Dead achievement in Darksiders II - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for completing the quest The Book of the Dead. This quest entails collecting all 40 of the missing pages of the book of the dead and returning to Vulgrim. Below are the Youtube videos I used to collect them, I take no credit for the videos. Thanks to the guys at Game Front for the great videos.

Also, once you've collected all of the pages you'll get the 4 keys needed for the Death Tombs around the worlds. The locations for the Tombs are at the end of each video. Once you have opened the last tomb the achievement Abracadabra will also pop.

I've checked mulitple guides and watched the videos numerous times, I'm 99% certain I've collected these all and yet I,m stuck at 39. I'm literally going to have to visit each location, in order, following the vids to be sure beyond a doubt I've got them all...ugh

I had the same problem, swore up and down I grabbed every page in the Earth dungeon and sure enough there it was...really wasn't a fan of the Earth dungeon.

Collected all 40 pages, handed them all into Vulgrim, no achievement, went ahead and unlocked the tombs, got the Abracadabra achievement, still no Book of the Dead achievement. Wonderful waste of time that was...

Did you complete the quest that's there when you talk to him or simply sell him the pages? Because only selling them wont unlock it. Hope this helps.

I spoke to him about completing the quest, and it came up quest complete with the XP and coin reward screen. I still had the final chapter in my bag so I sold it to him and still no achievement. I did it the same way as the Relic quest and that popped so it's just glitched.

Don't be the guy who says 'I'll come back later for the pages.' Do it as you progress with the main quest. Much less irritating in the long run.

I had the same problem as AceCardJones; I had selected the dialog option with Vulgrim saying I had completed the book before selling the final chapter to him, and the achievement didn't pop.

Luckly I was paying attention, and when I didn't get the achievement, I quckly dashboarded, and reloaded the game. On my second go, I sold the pages to Vulgim, and then came back to him and told him I had completed the book, and the achievement popped no problem.

This achievement should probably be marked as buggy, and this should be added to your solution to warn others.

Is it even possible to go back to all areas? It seems like the Foundry is locked out after you beat it as you no longer have someone to throw you.

For those who have 39 pages and can't find the last one, I bring the solution (or at least the reason for that). First of all, follow a video-guide and check you have all the 40 pages appearing in there, one by one. It can take you about 1,5 hours to make sure you got them all. After doing that, if you are still missing the last one, you have come into a glitch. There is a page in the Earth dungeon, a one placed high, near a pipe, which you are supposed to reach with the deathgrip. However, if you use the soul splitter underneath it, you will be able to get it but, for some reason, it won't count towards the achievement progress. This is when the glitch happens and makes this achievement unobtainable during that walkthrough (and also the 'Abracadabra' and 'Secondary adventure' ones, which depend on it). The only thing you can do then is starting a new game+ and collect all the pages again, taking care with that tricky one.

I'm not a big fan of video guides or having to play through the game reading a walkthrough the entire time. I much prefer to have a checklist of everything so I can mark off what I've found and go back and get the rest. So I made a Google Doc Spreadsheet of all the collectibles and their locations (including the relics). It's publicly viewable so you can make a copy for yourself.

Click for Google Doc Spreadsheet

I tried to make the lists in the order you would find them as you played through the game. I used many sources to put this spreadsheet together (there's a tab with them all). You may need other walkthroughs to help complete the tasks, this is just a spreadsheet for track purposes. The numbering of all items is consistent with the Games Radar guide which I found the most helpful.

I did not create the GamesRadar guide or any of the other guides listed in this spreadsheet. I just aggregated their content into this spreadsheet for tracking purposes.

Enjoy.

I found this video particularly useful, the author shows the exact location of pages without creating any kind of confusion.
The video is not mine, the credits goes to its creator.

hi and hello

many of known guides are sorted by orders.
i found and used this videoguide, which works analog to the mainstory and the gameprogression.
in my opinion its easier, to collect all the things at the game progression. are no differences between the difficulties.
so then i hope its helpful and big thx to the creator of the guide.

here is the All In One Collectible guide:

"The Book of the Dead" is one of four collection quests in the game. You can start the quest by by picking up a Page of the Dead, or by speaking to Vulgrim at either The Weeping Crag, The Fjord, or Serpent's Peak locations. Once you have found all 40 pages you must return to Vulgrim select the blue dialogue option that says "I have completed The Book of the Dead". He will then automatically take the book from you and give you the fourth key—unlike the individual chapters that you have to sell to him one-by-one to receive them. The trophy will then unlock when you are finished speaking with him.
