Gunfire Games hands the series to Fury, whose whip and elemental Hollows turn Darksiders III into a slower, dodge-first fight closer to a Souls game than to War's gear puzzles. The keys below are read from the game's own Keymapping screen, and the pad column from its controller layout screen; there, each Hollow is chosen by holding LB and pressing a face button, while the keyboard puts them on 1 to 4.
