Ruin: The Horse of War. Horseman of Apocalypse Reunites with His Steed (Darksiders 1)

War reunites with his horse - Ruin. Ruin is War's mighty steed. After War's imprisonment, Ruin was captured by Demons in the Ashlands, where he pressed into servitude by the lead Demon. War frees Ruin after defeating its captor and mounts it after regaining its trust. Ruin resembles a large fire and smoke shrouded Clydesdale or Ardennes horse, and other such heavily built horses.

War can ride Ruin through the open-world of Darksiders, but is not available at the beginning of the game. Once reunited with War, the horseman can summon his phantom steed whenever he pleases, with Ruin bursting out of the ground. Ruin can be summoned and dismissed quickly, which can assist its master with combos. War is reunited with Ruin in the Ashlands, where previously he had to use the Chronomancer ability to evade Ashworms, War can now outrun and even defeat them, including The Stygian. Ruin is even capable of phasing through objects, such as the ground for easy summoning or large monsters, allowing War to finish them off.

Ruin also adds a heavy boost to War's melee attack, killing enemies much quicker than on foot. Ruin also gives War a higher jump. When War dismounts off Ruin, he leaps off the saddle and Ruin returns to the Earth. This can be compounded with War's double jump and Shadowflight, allowing him to reach higher platforms and cross greater distances. Ruin is also able to catch War when he begins to fall. This is done by summoning him midair.
