The strategy in this part of the fight is to kill the crabs on the back of the throne, which is made harder by the fact that the throne constantly rotates. In battle, Fury has to dispatch of these minions first, thereby bringing down the throne, while Sloth is in his throne he will use his Sloth-empowered sceptre to ether fire dark green goop-like blasts to fend her off or attempt to hit her with his staff and sends his minions on the ground to try to stop her. Sloth sits down on his throne and is often carried by his crab-like minions.

Yet strangely, as he lay beaten and bloodied, Sloth wasn't concerned about his death but instead taunted Fury over her purpose in her mission. This is his tactic to avoid the effort of fighting a battle at all.ĭespite his namesake, Sloth is capable of fighting his own battles when forced into the situation, as Fury had done when she destroyed his throne. He uses this to persuade his opponents to abandon their missions and "relax", just as he attempted with Fury and almost succeeded in if it had not been for Fury being goaded by the female Watcher. He also grew bored with the Apocalypse, claiming he was "over it".ĭespite Sloth's rather unappealing appearance and lifestyle, the Lord of Flies possesses a rather charming and confident voice. Ideals that people follow to make themselves feel better, to give themselves purpose. Sloth is incredibly cynical, finding life itself a joke and the ideas of Balance and dignity to be a myth. Fury even noted that Sloth gained more exercise in a millennia just from their battle. He doesn't even care if his fellow Sins stand or fall against Fury only comfort is his concern. Even the decision to choose is considered tiresome and boring to Sloth thus he prefers to not choose at all. True to his name and title, Sloth has absolutely no desire to do anything but sit upon his throne and let his insect slaves do everything for him. A testament to his laziness is, without a doubt, the fact that the throne is made of filth and covers a large part of his body. Nevertheless, if need be, he is more than willing to engage even a Horseman into combat. True to his name, Sloth, now having made a home of the subway stations near the Griever's lair, sends out his minions to do his dirty work while he lies back on his throne. Now, the Charred Council have called forth Fury to hunt them down and execute them, a mission that she gleefully accepted. When the apocalypse was prematurely triggered, however, the 7 escaped and found their way to Earth. Sloth is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, who were deemed a danger to Creation by the Charred Council and were locked away. Description of Sloth, on the Darksiders website. Don’t let the bedsores fool you – Sloth is a mighty force when prodded into battle! His preference is to sit idle atop his throne, allowing his countless minions to defend him and even move him around inside his hollowed-out subway lair.
