Darksiders II - Boatman's Coins

Throughout Death's journey, players will be able to find Boatman's Coins. Floating diamond-shaped coins with a green glow. These can be traded to Vulgrimin various amounts for chests containing randomised loot of varying quality.

There are 100 Boatman's Coins scattered throughout the four realms Death visitson his travels. Unlike the rest of the collectibles in the game, the Boatman'sCoins are not linked to any achievements/trophies or side-quests, so collectingthem is either a pursuit for completionists or perhaps for trying to get somebeasty gear from Vulgrim.
