Editing Sticks and Stones

[[File:Stonebite.jpg|thumb|200px|A Mystic Stonebite in the Ivory Citadel]]
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[:Category:Side Quests|side quest]] in [[Darksiders II]] that spans much of the game. It is given, along with the ''Lure Stone'' ability, by the construct [[Blackroot]] in the Fjord area of the [[Forge Lands]]. This quest will task [[Death]] with obtaining '''Stonebites''' to feed Blackroot. These diamond-shaped stones found throughout the realms are acquired by destroying them (usually by shooting them with [[Redemption]]), and can be located via the high pitched "glowing" sound that emanates from them. These magical stones can then be returned to Blackroot in any combination of three in exchange for permanent bonuses to Death's stats.

There are three varieties of ''Stonebites'':

|-
|Mystic||Blue||34

Note that all Stonebites appear to be blue, however they do have a faint aura of blue, red, or yellow depending on their type.
