Overview
Edit
| “ | Vulgrim's twisted mind spins with so many detestable schemes that I doubt he even trusts himself. Indeed, he has grown even more devious since mankind exhaled its last breath. If this wretched demon's business is collecting souls, his pleasure is devouring them. Always ravenous, Vulgrim will beg, steal or kill for souls. He has also been known to trade for them. A desperate warrior might find such a black bargain palatable. To find him one need only seek Vulgrim's glyphs burned into the ground beneath demon haunts and the broken shells of buildings – Official description | ” |
BiographyEdit
Death's DoorEdit
Death comes to Vulgrim hoping to acquire a replacement for The Harvester while he is on a mission to eliminate a supposed rogue demon for Abaddon. In return, Vulgrim demanded the tongue of a Leviathan, a deal that Death was able to collect on when he returned with not only the tongue of a Leviathan, but the rest of the head as well.
DarksidersEdit
His primary role throughout the course of War's journey was to provide the Horseman with various goods, upgrades, items, and abilities, in exchange for Souls War had collected in his battles.
War was instructed by the Charred Council to seek out Vulgrim, a demon who has fallen from the favor of the Destroyer and had for some time sought to do business with them. Vulgrim told War that the bulk of the Destroyer's power lay within his tower and to get there he would have to forge an alliance with the demon Samael, giving him the Earthcaller in exchange for souls.
After War defeated Tiamat, Vulgrim offered War the ability to travel through his Serpent Holes, the means by which Vulgrim used to get around, thus allowing War to get from one side of Destroyed City to the other instantly. However, War must first allow Vulgrim to take a look at a Heart of the Chosen, recently ripped out of Tiamat. Vulgrim also bought Artifacts in trade for souls.
Darksiders IIEdit
Vulgrim appears to Death on his journey to restore mankind, preserving his role as a merchant. Much like in Darksiders, to seek him out one needs to look for his glyphs scattered over the realms by simply approaching them, after which Vulgrim will emerge from below the ground. He offers a poor range of items, most noticeably a selection of boxes which reward Death with random items of varying quality when bought. Those boxes are bought with both Gilt and Boatman Coins and buying them is more like a gamble since there is no guarantee that one will get an item of desired statistics.
He also asked Death to bring him chapters from The Book of The Dead in exchange for keys to Death Vaults.
Vulgrim LocationsEdit
Vulgrim locations appear all over the Destroyed City and are strategically placed to benefit War's travels. For example, as War approaches the Twilight Cathedral, there is a small walled area to the right of the entrance. A Serpent Hole will appear here; a perfect place to stock up on upgrades, purchase some Consumables or cash in an Artifact or two.
Usually Vulgrim Locations are surrounded by his small, fascinating chimes that cover the area and any paths leading up to the actual location. They are an angled spiral and contain a blue, glowing core which shines in the sun and darkness. The chimes also emit a high-pitched bell sound that can be heard from quite a distance away. Look out for these chimes and follow them to the location where Vulgrim should be waiting.
At each Vulgrim Location there is a Serpent Hole, which Vulgrim allows War to use during his adventures to travel around the Destroyed City.
He uses similar transportation in Darksiders II, but the player is never able to use them.
PersonalityEdit
During the course of the game Vulgrim is simply the demon merchant that provides War with various goods and upgrades. As such, his personality is not as developed as the other characters in the game although in his small appearances, Vulgrim displays his character traits. He seems to be quite talkative and somewhat devious, though, being a demon, the latter trait is not unexpected. Despite this Vulgrim seems to be fair and is always keeping his end of the bargain. He trusts War, giving useful hints when a path is inaccessible.
He is also sycophantic and will often flatter War with quotes such as, "You are as wise as you are powerful." At the same time, he is rather blunt in his comments when War attempts to do something reckless.
