How to unlock the The Court of Bones achievement in Darksiders II - Definitive Guide

Story related, cannot be missed.

This achievement takes place along the main questline. After you meet with The Lord of Bones, he tasks you with bringing him 3 of his Dead Lords. You will travel to two separate tombs to retrieve the first 2.

The final Lord, Basileus, resides in the Psychameron. You will travel again to the main arena where you fought the champion in the Gilded Arena. From here you will enter a portal that will take you to the Psychameron. Traverse the level only to find at its end Basileus, and his spider companion Achidna.

You will initially fight Basileus by himself, even on Apocalyptic difficulty dodging his attacks and then counter attacking worked fine for me Once you whittle his health down about 1/4, he will then ride atop Achidna. Watch out for the spiders lightning attacks and again, dodge and counterattack when you see an opening. At roughly half his life bar you will again face Basileus on his own, but now Achidna will randomly drop in and can seriously wreck your health. I summed some ghouls to keep the pressure off at this point. Once his life bar drops to 1/4, he will again mount Achidna. I used reaper form from here on out and had no trouble defeating them.

Once Basileus' life bar is gone, you will behead Achidna (which counts towards her quest) and after beating the snot out of Basileus, he will agree to "ride" with you. After this scene, the achievement will unlock (and you will receive a new legendary weapon for your secondary slot).

I got this achievement yesterday fought him w/out any health potions so it took me more than a few tries. A tip I would give is after you take away 2/4 of his health and he's off his spider buddy is to go to the opposite side of him when he charges at you dodge to your left (or right) go the other far end and do the same thing rinse and repeat this way you'll regenerate health if you have armor for that purpose I had on the crow armor set which was perfect for this. You can't attack though as after you do his spider friend will start to help Basileus somewhat radomly although there is a pattern to when he drops so not randomly (after he charges you he'll make a motion that signals the spider will try to drop on you just roll as far away as possible after this Basileus charges at you once you dodge this is the best time to attack.

Here is a video of the boss fight to accompany the guide posted.

The strategy is the same, this will provide a visual aid for anyone who was stuck.

Hope this helps! :)

This is story related trophy that will unlock naturally during your playthrough of the game. For additional information with potential spoilers, read the detailed description below.

After the Lord of Bones gives you the Interdiction he asks you to use it revive his three Dead Lords, then return them to him. The Dead Lords names, and the order you face them in, are Phariseer, Judicator, and Basileus. The moment you defeat Basileus the trophy will unlock.

You will also face Achidna along with him, which is one of the monsters you need to kill for the Like A Noss trophy. Be sure to pick up the quest from Thane before you do this quest.

Plot-based. Not a very difficult trophy, even on Apocalypse difficulty, according to the plot you have to find 3 servants of the Bone King , having found 2, a third one will come out, Basileus will tell you where he can be found, then you need to get to the Psycameron location and find him there, actually killing him, you will complete it In addition, Thane’s task (Additional, taken at the forge) is to kill Echidna , one of the 4 creatures that he will ask you to kill.
