Wicked K is a character featured in Darksiders and Darksiders II.

OverviewEdit

He is a Wicked that you can encounter up to four times during the course of Darksiders. He differs from the basic Wicked in that he wears a top hat, carries a cane and appears to be a well-spoken English gentleman. Each time Wicked K is banished you will earn a hefty amount of currency souls (1000 from the first two fights, 2000 from the last two), but other than this bonus he serves no other purpose. According to Vigil Games' general manager, David Adams, Wicked K is a character that the designers have had in mind for two years. He is a caricature of Vigil's British contingent and was not added to the game until the final month of programming, as an in-joke.

TacticsEdit

Wicked K uses the cane as his main weapon and attacks using a fencing style. These attacks are very fast and highly damaging. He also throws his top hat as a ranged boomerang attack. Wicked K is able to block most of your attacks with his cane and also has some special powers, such as the ability to dash and a spell that causes a giant top hat to blast War back. When defeated, he disappears into his top hat with a squeal. However, he gets stronger after every defeat, should you decide to confront him again in the other locations. If you're adept at using it, the Devil's Cross counter attack is very effective against him. The Harpoon Tackle dash attack can also be of use. If Chaos Form is used, Wicked K will exclaim "Capital! You've brought a friend!" or "Two versus one- that's not proper now," but he is easily dispatched. (It should be noted that Chaos Form makes this such a quick and effortless battle that it has become a common misconception that Chaos Form causes Wicked K to flee.)

To defeat Wicked K, other such methods might be suggested:

1. Use Affliction
2. Use Devil's cross

The second tactic is rather tricky. First, you need to lock on to him and don't move. Second, prepare yourself to hit the block button. Wait for his fencing attack and counter, but don't hold the block button. After countered he will attempt to do fencing again before you finished doing devil's cross, so watch closely and counter again. Repeat until he's defeated.

LocationsEdit

Wicked K can only be found in the following, four locations:

1. Twilight Cathedral - Take a right after leaving Vulgrim's Location and use the Abyssal Chain to swing across a chasm to where a currency chest is located. He appears when you enter the cave with the cracked red floor.
2. Anvil's Ford - Retrace your steps to where you worked with Ulthane to kill the invading Angels. You will find a blue swinging spot leading to a Wrath Shard on a ledge across the river. He will appear as soon as you enter the area near the tree in front of the swinging spot.
3. Choking Grounds - After leaving Vulgrim's Location head toward the three gray squares on your mini-map located to the south-west of Vulgrim. The three squares are easily visible as large tombs. Drag the middle tomb backwards and it will reveal a hole in the ground. After collecting the artifact in the chamber below he will appear as you attempt to leave.
4. Drowned Pass - Make your way to the sewage pipe located to the south-east of the map and enter via the ramp of earth that ascends from the lake. There you will find a chamber with shallow water. When you first enter the chamber it will be populated by demons but, after you have freed the gate guardian, you can return here to summon Wicked K.

Darksiders IIEdit

In Darksiders II, Wicked K is the Master of The Crucible and the final enemy that can be fought, to face him, Death must complete all 100 rounds in a row. Once that's done the center of the Crucible will rise up and Wicked K will be waiting on the top. For many players the first tip to suggest that Wicked K might be present in the game is the description of Blade Master Talisman.
