Darksiders II Message Board  

I have tried almost everything I have read on the Karkinos battle. Not enough time to grab egg and my interact key on my PC won;\'t grab the egg to throw. I changed keys and even that won't allow me to grab the egg to throw. I have used 5 health potions each time and was only able to knock iy down only ONCE after many days of trying. Very frustrated and getting to hate playing the game. Not moving forward to continue due to this battle. NO TIME allowed to grab the egg and when I am unable to put my hands on the egg it's to damn late. Over and Over but NO luck. Any ideas or workaround to help? Thank you and hope to find answeres to allow progress.

I am also having the same problem , have just stopped playing it. Have ordered a gamepad for pc, hopefully it will work with that. Will post again after I have tried it.

Wasted my money on the gamepad, the game does not even pick it up.
Oh well, Borderlands 2 is almost here... only 14 days to go !!!

gonna sound sucky, but LOWER resolution, and turn anything else you can think off off, game likes to work when it thinks its on 6 year old consol hardware.

Worked for me, and yeah it sucks, i got stuck right after with a ball puzzle anyways so uninstalled. But hopefully this helps you

Got through this abttle after several days of trying. Reset the key to a different key on the keyboard. Didn't have to change any setting on resolution etc. Still took a few more times to complete but it did work.

Thank you for all your help. Now stuck in another battle in the Lost Temple. Very very intense. Haven't beat this battle yet after several days but will try to keep on trying.

Have you tried the CPU affinity settings?

1) Start the trainer
2) open task manager
3) select processes tab
4) look for the trainer (.exe)that you are using
5) right click on the trainer.exe and select "set affinity"
6) unselect CPU 0-5 (I just use CPU 6 and 7 for the trainer - as the main game application is most likely focused on the 2 primary CPU's, you dont want them to try to run the game trainer on CPU 0,1)

This seems to work on most trainers of modern games from my experience. Hopefully for you too!

I have followed your step but I do not have a 6-7 listed when I opened the processees. I show 0,1,2 so I shut off 0 and 1 but still not working. I don't show a cpu 5,6. What can I do next?

Change your resolution into 800x600 and try again . I beat him ( after 1h finding solution )
