Darksiders who is the destroyer

He was distracted upon seeing War on the field. Shocked at the appearance of the Horseman, which was exactly what he had been trying to prevent by not breaking the seventh seal, Abaddon was taken by surprise and killed by Straga. After his apparent death, Abaddon found himself in a dark, unknown location, alone except for a shadowy female presence, Lilith , who revealed herself to be responsible for some form of sabotage to Abaddon's plan. As Abaddon broke down in despair, Lilith then presented him with a choice: to "Serve in Heaven or rule in Hell," reminding him that if he chose the former, he would likely be tried and executed by the Charred Council for his defiance.

His spirit broken, Abaddon chose to become the Destroyer. He returned to Azrael, who, not knowing what had transpired, took him to Eden to commune with the Tree of Knowledge. It is not known what gift Abaddon received from the Tree, but it may have driven him mad. He also convinced the Archon Lucien to partially open the Well of Souls with the Angel Key, allowing him to tap into the power of the Well and he was reborn as a Demon and became the Destroyer of the Realms. Prior to Abaddon's return to Earth a demon named Abraxis sought to position himself as the Abaddon's right hand man and towards this end would commission the building of the Black Throne to serve as the Angel turned Demon's home.

Though Fury can kill the demon the Black throne is still completed anyway and still becomes the home of Abaddon. Death visited Earth during the Destroyer's reign, where he found that the Fallen Angel's forces were using pieces of the Rod of Arafel , an Angelic relic, to fuel his army and summon monstrosities from the Abyss to serve him like the Chosen and the Suffering.

The Horseman reclaimed the relic and left the Earth for Lostlight. Also based on the state of Shadow's Edge , Samael has also been imprisoned by this point in time. Also in Lostlight, the Archangel Nathaniel asked Death to uncover the fate of Abaddon's Soul after his fall on Earth during the Apocalypse, giving him a scroll to deliver to the Eternal Throne. He did not tell Death who it was he sought, but intended no deception as the name of the Soul sought was on the scroll, unrecognized by Death.

He journeyed to the Kingdom of the Dead to inquire of the Chancellor if the Soul had passed through the City of the Dead.

When he learned that it had not, he returned to Nathaniel, who was overjoyed to learn that Abaddon may have lived but cautious, keeping the information to himself until learning the details of Abaddon's survival.

Death later learned from Muria that the individual Nathaniel sought was now called Vovin, which translates to Dragon in the Angel's language. He was also informed that the individual was a traitorous Hellguard member. Nathaniel was greatly distraught upon realizing that Abaddon was the Destroyer, and revealed to Death the identity of the Soul upon Death's inquiry.

As the Destroyer, and empowered by the vast energies of the Well, he took control of Hell's armies on Earth, appointed five powerful creatures of The Abyss as his Chosen and annihilated all of Humanity as well as most of the Hellguard 's forces, now led by Uriel. When Samael spoke out against his rule, he split the Blood Prince's power amongst his Chosen and imprisoned Samael in the Scalding Gallow. At some point after tricking the Archon and Azrael into aiding him, he sent Straga, his most powerful minion, to capture Azrael and imprison him in the Black Throne , the seat of Hell's power on Earth.

The Destroyer also employed lesser Demon lords such as Belial in his forces. He retained his militant ruthless personality through his transformation, though referred to his previous identity in the third person and became significantly more malicious.

After War returned to Earth, he killed the four Chosen and defeated Straga in relatively short order. Killing Straga destroyed the enormous spire which the Destroyer used to channel energy from the Well of Souls, and immediately thereafter War journeyed with Azrael to Eden.

There, he received a vision from the Tree of Knowledge which allowed him to learn of Abaddon's fall and the Charred Council's duplicity in framing him for the premature apocalypse. After receiving his vision, War came to the conclusion that Abaddon had been betrayed by someone who knew of his plans.

However, the identity of this traitor is never revealed or even speculated upon by War, Azrael, or the Watcher. At the Tree of Knowledge, War also received the hilt of the Armageddon Blade, and decided that the blade needed to be remade in order to kill the Destroyer. After gathering its pieces, War took the broken blade to Ulthane, who reforged it. War then finally confronted Abaddon with the Hellguard. The Demon tried to persuade War to join him even using the same words Lilith used on him but engaged the Horseman in battle in his Dragonic Demon form when he refused and called him a coward.

However, War proved too strong for Abaddon and he shifted back into his Angelic form, which had been corrupted and now resembled a Dark Angel.

He was ultimately defeated by War and the Horseman tore his wings off. He murmured to Uriel for help, but she only told him to "Reap what he had sown,". Abaddon was then impaled by War with the Armageddon Blade and died for good finally ending his rule of earth. Before his fall, Abaddon was fiercely dedicated to Heaven and his fellow Angels, gaining the respect, loyalty and admiration of the Angels who served under him, namely Uriel and the Hellguard.

The Hellguard in particular were hyperbolically stated to have worshiped Abaddon by Samael. He greatly valued the lives of those who served under him, refusing to sacrifice them to reach a personal goal, and was somewhat vindictive when they were harmed in any way, as when he called upon Death to slay a Demon that had killed ten of his best warriors which later turned out to be an Angel named Makhala.

Despite this, his intense hatred for Demonkind outweighed his respect and duty to the treaties imposed by the Charred Council, as he greatly desired Hell's defeat along with its ruler, the Dark Prince.

This unfortunately put him out of favor of the elder Angels above him and even his old friend Azrael at the time of the premature apocalypse. However, when he announced his plans to ambush the Dark Prince and his closest followers, he had hoped to end it and prevent any Humans from getting caught in the fighting, therefore preventing an actual war. After the Apocalypse and his betrayal in becoming the Destroyer, Abaddon became a shadow of his former self, even refusing to answer to his original name.

He abandoned his beliefs in the Creator, believing He abandons His most faithful. Once he gets back up, remount on Ruin and run. When the destroyer gets back up he does one of two things: He either Tries to attack you the same way he did before, or he Flies up into the sky and slams back down.

When you do hit the beast, it will crumple to the ground stunned. At this point you can circle it, slashing away at its body. You basically repeat this for the entire fight. The only major change in the battle comes when the dragon begins to swoop high into the air after your attacks. It will then slam the ground. You need to dash to avoid the attack, which is easier than it sounds.

These attacks only become frequent when the monster is heavily damaged. The battle will end soon after this when a prompt appears above the Destroyer's Head. Ride toward the Destroyer and activate the prompt. The Destroyer may be vanquished, but the puppet-master himself is quite alive. Abaddon's impressive sword techniques are tough to counter, but counter attacking is one of the best ways to inflict damage.

One effective strategy is to wait until he attacks and attempt to counter or dash behind him so you can get in a slash without him blocking it. This battle can be hectic but it's not too complex.

Use Stoneskin and enhancements to bolster your attacks and defense and just keep hacking away.
