ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Special thanks to everyone on The Suffering message board. I never would
have found the gonzo gun without their tips.
INTRODUCTION
This isn't intended as a definitive walkthrough for The Suffering. The game
really doesn't need a walkthrough. But it's always possible the solution to
a puzzle might elude you, or you might miss the one doorway you need to
progress. My hope is this walkthrough will get you back to enjoying the game
as quickly as possible.
I don't list every health pickup or monster. You will find supplies
everywhere, so covering them all would be tedious. As for monsters, I prefer
not to ruin the surprise.
I also don't give any details on the storyline. The game does a much better
job of telling the story than I ever could. I mention cinemas only as a way
of orientating yourself.
Although I don't mention the phones or monitors in the walkthrough, feel free
to answer any phone that rings or view any monitor. You never know what
you'll learn.
BACKGROUND
You control Torque, a convict sentenced to the death house for killing his
family. Just your luck, you're sent to Abbott State Penitentiary on Carnate
Island which, for lack of a better word, is haunted by centuries of
suffering.
CONTROLS
When you start a new game, you have a choice of four difficulty levels. Easy
is perhaps too easy, and diminishes the sense of danger. I consider myself a
mediocre player, yet I found Easy so disappointing that I soon restarted on
Normal.
You can choose from different controls via the Options menu, accessed through
the start button. My personal favorite is Dual Stick + Flashlight. You can
also choose the single stick mode for moving and turning Torque with just the
left joystick. For the benefit of those renting the game, here are the
default controls for the X-Box:
Left stick moves Torque forward, backward, left and right.
Right stick turns Torque and looks up and down.
The Back button brings up the map (if there is one).
The Start button pauses the game and brings up the pause menu. From here you
can save the game at any time. You also have extensive control over the game
setting.
The directional pad access inventory. Press up and down to select between
categories (including weapons, thrown weapons, and notes). Press right and
left to highlight a particular item. Press X to select the item. You can
have both a thrown weapon and a normal weapon selected at the same.
Press the left trigger to use a thrown weapon.
Press the right trigger to attack.
Press A to jump. If you are moving to the side, you will do a roll instead.
Press B to reload your current weapon.
Press X to use an object in the environment. It's used to man a searchlight
(press the right trigger to toggle the searchlight on and off). It's used to
climb ladders, operate stationary machine guns, and activate switches.
Press Y to activate insanity mode. This ability becomes available at the
beginning of Chapter 2 and is explained in more detail there.
The white button switches to first person mode. This is useful for aimed
shots. I suppose it's possible to play the entire game in first person,
making it practically two games in one.
Press the black button to use a health pickup. You can carry 9 bottles of
Xombium at a time.
ENDING
The Suffering has three ending. Which one you get depends on whether you do
good deeds, evil deeds, or if you rely heavily on insanity mode. You'll know
you've performed a good deed because you'll receive positive reinforcement
from the spirit of your ex-wife. Evil deeds earn her chastisement.
THE WALKTHROUGH
CHAPTER 1: THE WORST PLACE ON EARTH
After the opening movie, leave your cell and go right to the main gate to
activate another cut scene. A cell door falls open. Go in and extract the
shiv from your cellmate, then leave by the gate that conveniently falls open
for you.
To Torque's left is the control station. Inside it you'll find a map of the
level. While here, press the red light to open all the cells, then go back
and loot the cells. Leave D-block via the door with the flashing red light.
Turn left and left again to enter the showers. Search the area for supplies.
Be sure to open the lockers. Exit the showers and go straight. The door to
the left is locked, so turn right to find an administrative room to ransack.
Return the way you came, passing D-block, until you see another inmate with a
crushed disposition and you trigger a cutscene with a guard. Keep going
forward and a door will fall open. Go in and press the red light. Go
through the gate that opens (the door to the maintenance room is locked).
The door to the electrical room is locked, so turn left to face your first
fight. A CO comes out of the WC. Decide which of the voices to heed, and
either join with him or kill him.
Search the restroom for supplies, then swing right to reach the break room
(called the locker room on your map) and grab the flashlight. Then head
downstairs.
Depending on whether you teamed up with CO, either your partner will open the
gate from the control room or the gate will fall open on its own. Go though
and expect another fight. Afterwards, the CO will go to check out a noise in
the Electrical Chamber. Take his advice and don't follow him, or else you'll
meet with the same shocking end. After he collapses, you can safely fetch
his gun.
Check out the infirmary for lots of health pickups. You also catch your
first glimpse of gaseous Hermes. You'll be seeing a lot of him later.
There's more Xombium in the control station, but by now you should be well
stocked. Hack through the crates barricading the exit with your shiv. Move
the soda machine from in front of the exit door by pressing and holding the
action button.
Follow the hallway, making a quick detour through the door on the right to
the E-Chamber control station. Throw the switch to the left of the window
for jollies. Also for fun, view the monitors by the desk. Go back out the
way you came and head for the Foyer. There's Xombium in the bathroom, and
other items to loot by the metal detector and in the Visitor Arrival area.
Go through the open metal gate and pull the statue a few feet back so it
blocks the already open door. Now try the door to the control station. When
the coast is clear, enter the control room and press the red button. The
bust should hold the first door open while the second door opens.
Follow the beastly apparition through the door to the right. You're
presented with the opportunity to do some evil by gassing the CO (but not the
choice to do good뾲here isn't any way to save him).
Return to the hall and follow it to its end, skipping for now the door on the
right. Enter the control station for the L-Chamber. Feel free to loot the
room. On your way out, beware of an attack.
Now backtrack to the middle door that you skipped earlier and follow the
apparition, fighting as necessary. Both doors at the end of the hallway are
locked, so check out the gas chamber. When Hermes lets loose with the smelly
stuff, run to the viewing window to the south. A slayer breaks through the
window, granting you a way out.
The witness area for the E-Chamber is locked, so head down the stairs to the
basement. Under the basement stairs are some shelves with supplies. Only
take them if you really need them. You'll be coming back this way much later
in the game, and this stash could prove valuable. When you're ready, go
through the blue door.
CHAPTER 2: DESCENDING
Throw the red switch on the right to turn on the light. Follow the only path
available until you come to the Boiler, where you meet your two main
adversaries, gaseous Hermes and 16mm Dr. Killjoy. After the requisite
taunting, a seemingly endless supply of Slayers attack. Fight them until Dr.
Killjoy starts asking to see the real you. You'll notice that a yellow bar
has appeared next to your health bar. Once the yellow bar fills and flashes,
press the Insanity Mode button to unleash your inner monster.
After you make short work of the Slayers, the blue door opens. Be sure to
loot the room before leaving.
Follow the path to where it's blocked by steam. There's a wheel to your
right that will turn off the steam. In the next room is a switch next to the
door that you entered through. Activating it causes an explosion back the
way you came. Throw the switch again and head back. You'll see an opening
in the wall with a stash of supplies, including a second revolver.
Now return to the Electrical room and go to the end of the hall. Climb the
cabinet at the end to reach a door. There's a cutscene introducing you to a
Marksman.
Go through the doorway to the right and continue on to the Workshop. As you
leave, you can turn right or left. Go right first. It leads to some
solitary confinement cells. Visit the cells for some creepy voices. There's
a wood door next to some gas tanks. Shoot the tanks to blast open the door.
Follow the path until you come to a crate blocking a red door. Pull the
crate backward a very long distance, until it's in the part of the hall with
the high ceiling. Up to one side you can see an opening in the wall. Climb
onto the crate and jump to a small niche with ammo and a revolver.
In Chapter 14 of the game, you will return to this area. At that point the
nice will hold the Gonzo Gun, the most powerful and loony weapon in the game.
Drop back into the hall and go through the red door. You're in another group
of solitary cells. Against the west wall are three solitary cells. Through
the smashed stone wall is a crank that opens a door in the center cells.
There's a crate next to the southernmost. First, smash the boards with your
shiv. Then move the crate inside the cell and climb to an opening in the
back wall. Both paths lead to the same place.
Carry on for a little encouragement from Horace the electric man. Go up the
stairs, where you find a tommy gun, and then down another flight of stairs.
There's a supply stash under the stairs. Return up the stairs and straight
ahead to a ladder leading to a blue door and the level exit.
CHAPTER 3: SLUMBER OF THE DEAD
Go right. At the end of the hall, take the door on the right. Watch the
monitor. Leave and try the door opposite, where you meet Dallas. You can
help him or shut him up by killing him.
Go outside to the North Yard. You can check out the lethal injection room if
you want. Near the end of the path there's a hole in the fence. Descend a
hill until you come to a work site with scaffolding. The rightmost platform
lets you jump over the fence. Climb the hill to the East cellblock.
CHAPTER 4: ABBOT PRISON BLUES
You come to a barricade you must hack with your shiv. Then push the crate
out of the way. If you're trying to keep Dallas alive, consider shoving the
crate back in front of the door to keep him from following you. You can come
get him later after you've cleared the way.
The bathroom to your left is a dead end. The open door leads to a locker
room. Search the wooden desk to find a map. Dallas finds a gun here, making
him a little more useful. Leave the locker room by the north door.
The prison entrance is locked. Proceed to the control room and watch a clip
of your next nemesis, the Mainliner. Throw the big red button to open the
cell doors, then follow the path to T-Block. After checking out the cells,
go down the stairs to the lower level. Fight for your life as necessary.
In one of the lower cells is an inmate who wants you to keep him locked in.
To rescue him, and thereby earn good points, go into the nearby control
station and throw the switch on the wall. It will close his cell. While
there, also press the red button to open some gates.
On the west side of T-Block is a door to an Electrical room. Go down the
stairs to get a cell block map. Leave the room and go to the door across
from it. Here you will see electrified water on the floor. Shoot the
electrical box to the right of the water to clear the path.
At this point you can choose from two branching paths. The easy route leads
across the puddle and out a yellow and white door into the yard.
If you want a more challenging path, then try hitting the showers. Return to
T-Block and go out the east door next to the control room. First go through
the doorway on the right to get a clip with your ex-wife. Then backtrack and
go to the showers.
To stop the endless flood of mainliners, you must turn off each shower. Or
simply avoid them and run through. Toward the back of the showers is a room
blocked by flames. Turn on the clogged sink next to the flames to put out
the fire. Check the nearby control room for some supplies, then head out the
yellow and white door into the yard.
Either way, you end up in the East Yard. Your objective is to make your way
up to the watchtower. If you went through the shower, it's a quick romp
through hordes of monsters. Otherwise, you'll have to make your way through
a series of fenced areas and past a gang of unfriendly inmates.
Locate a supply shed. Smash the small crate and move the larger crate next
to the shed. Climb atop the shed's roof and jump over to the walkway. Here
you'll find a crank that lets you lower the ladder so Dallas can follow you.
Inside the guard tower is an east cellblock map. Follow the catwalk to the
green and white door. Eventually you come to the library. Along the way,
you'll grab the flamethrower instructions from a corpse. It'll be awhile
before you have all the required materials.
Circle the library, killing Mainliners, until you reach the office. Ransack
the place and then head out the door to the left of the office. Descend the
stairs and head for V-Block. You'll have to go through the infirmary first.
Make a quick visit to the nearby restroom and the operating room if you want
to kill more mainliners, then head out the southeast door. When you reach V-
Block, there is a cinema.
To defeat Hargrave, run up the stairs. You'll find a hole in the ceiling of
the control station. Drop in and take command of the machine gun. Time to
rock and roll.
Once the music calms down, you know its safe to let go of the machine gun.
Throw the red switch to open the exit, which leads to the loading dock. The
big doors are locked, so you need to climb the dumpster or pile of steel
crates to reach the ledge. Go through the door and follow the little kid
into the bathroom. Next, go to the control station and throw the red switch.
This will free Dallas, if he's still with you, but it won't do you much good
personally.
Go through the green and white door across from the control station to end
the level.
CHAPTER 5: NO MORE PRISONS
Go down the stairs to the ground. Leave through the gate where the inmates
are sprawled. Follow the path until you reach a yard with a searchlight. By
standing in the light, you gain protection from Slayers, but it doesn't help
against marksmen. There's more fighting in the basketball court. Finally,
in the area with the bleachers, run for the machine gun in the far left
corner as you come in. It will make short work of the hordes while
conserving your ammo.
Go through the hole in the fence to get some supplies, then leave by the
gate. There will be a clip showing the effectiveness of shotguns. A shotgun
falls behind a burning picnic table. Get it. Leave through the door to the
west cellblock.
CHAPTER 6: I CAN SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD
Go to the control station to find a West Cellblock map. At the intersection
with the human pinatas, go straight (the right is a dead end). Open the gate
from the control station. Go right at the next intersection toward the
officer's station. Press the red button to open the cell doors.
Now head straight down the hall to the bathrooms, where the shotgun proves
effective against Mainliners. As you progress toward Visitation, you catch a
glimpse of your next enemy, the Noosemen. Answer the phone in the Visit Room
for a chat with your ex-wife before all hell breaks loose. The exit is now
open and you can follow the path to the lunch room.
Go straight across the room and pull the vending machine until it covers the
drain on the floor. Enter the sprinkler control room, breaking through the
barricade with your shiv, and turn the crank. The water puts out the flames
blocking the exit. Leave the cafeteria.
Hit the red button in the control station to open the exit, break through the
crates, and proceed to R-Block. You need to be wary of noosemen, which turn
out to be more of an annoyance than an actual threat.
Go into the control station and press both red buttons. One opens the exit
and the other opens all the cell doors.
Now you have a choice of how to finish the level. You can either go through
the laundry rooms, or you can drop through the hole in the lower middle cell.
Or, you can just go to the 2nd level and drop through the hole to the opposite
side of the gate.
There are lots of supplies in the laundry rooms. No puzzles here, just a
couple of obvious switches to pull. You ultimately come to a hole that takes
you to into the basement. Follow the little boy into the caves. You climb
out in S-Block. A bunk bed sits at the end of the upper tier. Climb the bunk
bed to end the level.
If you choose to drop through the hole in the lower middle cell, you'll find
your route is much easier. Again, follow the little boy through the caves to
S-Block. Climb the bunk bed on the upper tier to finish the level.
CHAPTER 7: EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IS GONE
Outside again, there is only one way to go. Drop down where the railing is
broken. Visit the guard tower, but leave quickly before the gas gets you.
Climb the ladder to the watchtower roof and jump across to the adjacent roof.
You'll meet a frightened guard up here. Leaving him to cower for now, go
though the blue door, down the stairs, and across to the orange and white
door.
You'll come to a long walkway with searchlights along its length. Slayers
will leap from the trees. Aim the searchlights at the trees to stop the
flood. Man a searchlight by using the Action button, and turn it on with the
right trigger. Aim the last searchlight at the pit below you. You can also
use the searchlight to burn some of the slayers in the playing field.
At the end of the walkway is a trapdoor with a nearby crate. Push the crate
into the opening to explode the gas canisters below.
If you haven't already killed the frightened guard, go back and get him now.
He'll eventually decide to follow you.
Run ahead of him and climb down the ladder to the baseball field. You will
have to fight many Marksmen, and it's best to leave the frightened guard
safely out of danger. Once the coast is clear, you can climb back up to get
him. It's a quick jog to the communications building, where you will find a
Quarry map.
Climb the ladder and jump across to the burning rooftop. Go inside the
workshop to end the level.
CHAPTER 8: DARKEST NIGHT, ETERNAL BLIGHT
The workshop is teeming with monsters. Check out the nooks, craffines, and
roofs for supplies. Leave by the door off the upper walkway. You'll need to
smash a box to open the door.
Outside again, go through the cemetery. You'll find a road. To the left is
some TNT. To the right is a group of guards who turn hostile. Keep
following the road until you come to the quarry. You can do this the hard
way or the easy way. In either case, you'll first want to ransack the shack
at the end of the road.
The Easy Way (avoiding combat): To the left of the staircase into the pit is
a small hill. Jump onto the hill. It might take several tries from
different areas. Go to the end and jump to the block of stone suspended from
the crane. Now jump to the very narrow ledge next to the barbed wire fence.
I found it safest to jump into the corner where the fence abuts the stone
nearest the crane. Drop down to the ledge below you. From here, you can
either drop down to get the TNT (but then you won't be able to get back up)
or you can go in the opposite direction and drop down into the cave mouth,
thereby avoiding all combat.
The Hard Way (combat heavy): Simply descend the orange stairs and start
shooting.
Enter the cave and you're treated to a cinema of your next foe, the Burrower.
Jump onto the orange staircase. At the top, don't go through the burning
fence right away. Turn around and hop across to the grassy area for some
supplies. Now head through the fence.
CHAPTER 9: OBLIVION REGAINED
Follow the trail to another cave. To the right of the entrance is a pile of
boxes that conceal a TNT detonator. Blow up the boxes and use the detonator.
To the right of the detonator is a barricaded cave-in that grants a
flashback.
Climb the rubble left by the explosion. Circle the cave along the catwalk to
reach a cave lined with TNT. Monsters attack, making it very hazardous.
The cave opens outside again. The path is short, and ends in a fence. Go
through the gate on your right, up the stairs, and through the burned fence.
You come to another pit. Hop down and use the console on the first ledge to
move the suspended stone block so it smashes the stone tower across from you,
plugging the fiery red pit. You can also hop up on the ledge to your right
and turn on the spotlights. At this point you can drop into the pit to
finish off the slayers. There's a supply shack on the other side of the pit
that you can reach by climbing a ladder. When you're done searching the
area, go past the pit you blocked and climb up what seems to be a dead end.
There's another detonator in a lean to by the cave. Carefully clear it and
use it to detonate explosives inside the cave. Then go in.
On the other side, you'll find a small supply shack. Follow the lighted road
to another pit. You can help the inmate if you choose by lowering the stone
block and then swinging it over to him. Then swing the block to the left and
jump across to the ledge with the crane.
After a cut scene with two creepy girls, use the crane controls to swing the
stone block to the right into the water tower. Hop down and go through the
cave to end the level.
CHAPTER 10: YOU'VE MISTAKEN ME FOR SOMEONE ELSE
You find Torque trapped in a fenced area. The exit is a hard-to-see hole in
the fence next to the third lamp post, between some bushes. A short path
takes you to a stone wall with a convenient pile of blocks you can climb
over.
At the foot of the wall opposite where you climbed up is a map of the asylum.
You can explore the area around the lake. The corpses all have their stories
to tell. Bear right around the lake to the gazebo where you can chat with
your ex. As usual, she does most of the talking. Keep going right to get to
the asylum.
Enter through the side door. Smash the crates and pull the cage out of the
way.
CHAPTER 11: HATE THE SIN, NOT THE SINNER
You start in the kitchen. Shoot the projector atop the stove and go through
the door it releases. Climb the stairs. The first door on the right leads
to electro shock therapy.
The open double doors that you next pass lead to the library and Sergie, a
stoned CO who asks for electricity for his stereo.
Past the library is a bathroom. The exit from this floor is in the library,
through the door to the left of Sergie. Drop down to the main floor and go
through the open doorway. At the first intersection, turn right and swing
around to the theater.
On the west side of the stage is a fire axe. Smash the glass to get it.
Then use the axe on the rope on the opposite end of the stage. A painting
will drop, blocking the projector's beam and releasing the door to the west
of the stage. Go that way. Chop the boards over the exit door and return to
the hallway.
Turn right at the corner, go past two intersections, and turn left at the far
corner. Go past the door on your left for now, the one with the monstrous
shambling, and check the dining hall, water closet, and study. In the study
is a projector for you to destroy.
Go into the room with your caged alter-ego. Press the yellow button if you
want to. Drop down the hole into the cellar. Head to the far end of the
first room to trigger a cinema. Blast the enemies that appear. Between the
shelves are a couple of boards propped against a cage. Smash the boards and
pull the cage out.
Rather than climb out the cellar, go through the only door in the room and
make your way through the coal rooms. At the far end is a generator sitting
in a pool of water. If you want to help Sergie, you need to turn on the
generator without getting yourself killed. First, smash the wood panel to
the left of the generator to open a drain. After the water drains away, you
can safely turn on the generator. Smash through the boards over the nearby
exit and return to the first floor.
If you want to help Sergie, you need to return quickly to the library. The
fastest way is through the kitchen.
Next, head for the foyer and run up the stairs. You can drop down the
elevator shaft for some supplies. Follow your beastly half to a row of
cells. The third cell contains a cage. You need to push it out of the cell
and down to the end of the hall so you can climb through the trapdoor to the
attic. The last cell contains someone I like to call Mr. Floppy. You can
kill him to earn good points.
Off the attic a strange blue device is suspended. Turn the nearby crank to
lower it. At the far end of the attic is a projector pointing through the
roof. Destroy it. To leave the attic, you'll need to pull a second
projector in a cage so it no longer points at the exit.
Return to the foyer and go through the double doors to the Operations
Theater. Don't bother fighting the monster, Dr. Killjoy will just resurrect
them. You need to destroy the 5 projectors in here. There are three very
obvious projectors. Two are harder to destroy:
Destroy the electrical box across from the entrance to shut off the projector
on the balcony.
Destroy the rope on the right of your inner monster to shut off a projector
suspended from a cage.
Press the yellow button next to the operating table to activate the blue
device. Stand under the blue ray to power up Torque. Now use the Throw
button to hurl a blue ball at your alter ego to open the exit from the level.
CHAPTER 12: A LONELY PLACE TO DIE
On the west side of the asylum grounds is a hedge maze. At the center is a
gazebo with supplies. After you've explored the asylum grounds, leave by the
ajar gate. On either side of the road are some interesting sights. To the
left, between two bonfires, is a cabin that was apparently used by Sergie.
To the right is a little history lesson on the asylum.
Go across the first bridge. On this level, you will discover that Slayers
now regenerate. To finish them off for good, simply take off their heads.
You can do this with a well placed shot before taking them down, but it's
often easier to just run up to them while they're on the ground and blast
them.
To the right of the trail is a burned house with supplies and an archive
page. Atop the fireplace is a gas can. From here you can get atop the
building and escape the flames.
Continue down the trail. To the right is a grotto sheltering a cave. At the
end of the cave is the last ingredient to create a flamethrower. This is the
first opportunity I've seen to make it. Leave the cave quickly before the
green gas incapacitates you.
Farther along, your path is blocked by flames. Climb the rocks to your left
to get around them.
Next you come to a collapsed bridge. To the right is an old pickup with a
jack. Use the jack to send the pickup rolling down the hill. Drop down to
the stream. But before you climb over the pickup, follow the stream to a
small beach. Here you'll learn Torque can't swim. You'll also have to fight
for your life.
Return to the pickup and climb to the other side of the ravine.
CHAPTER 13: DANCING AT THE DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE
Immediately to your right is a supply stash. Continue down the road until
you meet Clem. You can help him or not. If you decide to kill him, you must
let him finish his spiel first or he won't die.
On the beach you will fight Festers. They are immune to bullets. You must
either slash them or dispatch them with explosives or Molotovs.
Continue along the beach until you come to a derelict ship. Inside the ship
is an iron gate. Eventually, a Fester will burst through the gate. Keep
checking back until it happens. Go inside the ship and up the ramp to the
opening in the wall. Shoot the barrels on the ledge across from you and,
once the oil permeates the water below, throw in a Molotov cocktail. That
puts a stop to the Festers.
You can explore the rest of the beach. If you're trying to help Clem, you
should visit his raft as he sets sail. When you're done exploring, go inside
the ship and climb to the deck. Then jump across to the large drainpipe and
the end of the level.
CHAPTER 14: SURFACING
Start by running. Turn left, right, right, then left to reach the ladder
out. Fight your way up through the supply room to the munitions. Clem's map
has some clearly marked stashes you can reach by smashing through walls with
your axe.
In the munitions room is a fairly simple lever puzzle. Each crank moves a
gate through one of three positions. Get the openings lined up in the center
and you're good to go.
In the Medical Lab are two caged slayers. Killing them earns you evil
points. Throw the red switch to exit. At the intersection, go right or left
depending on if you followed the directions in Chapter 2 for finding the
Gonzo Gun.
If you followed the directions in this walkthrough for Chapter 2, turn RIGHT.
Go to Solitary and go through the red door. There is a crate in this
hallway. Climb onto the crate and jump up to a small niche with the Gonzo
Gun.
If you didn't follow the directions in this walkthrough for Chapter 2, turn
LEFT. You'll come to a smaller group of Solitary cells. There's a wood door
next to some gas tanks. Shoot the tanks to blast open the door. Follow the
path until you come to a crate blocking a red door. Pull the crate backward
a very long distance, until it's in the part of the hall with the high
ceiling. Up to one side you can see an opening in the wall. Climb onto the
crate and jump to a small niche with ammo, a revolver, and the Gonzo Gun.
Drop back into the hall and go out the red door. From Solitary, make your
way through the workshop and then south. You'll run into Hoarce, who opens
the blue door to D-Building.
CHAPTER 15: AN EYE FOR AN EYE MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND
Go upstairs and turn left to reach the electric chamber. Each of the
electrical boxes is protected by a force field. The field will turn yellow
and then vanish. When it's off, blow up the electric box. Continue
clockwise around the room destroying the electrical boxes in this way. Jump
over the static field as it radiates toward you.
When all the electrical boxes are ruined, throw the lever on the east wall.
Go out through the broken window and turn left. Make your way through the
gas chamber and along some corridors to the stairs up. Make your way back to
D-Block, where you started the game. You'll know you've reached it when
things get trippy. Talk to your phantom family. A projector will switch on.
Go into the cell it's pointing at and grab Dr. Killjoy's diagnosis. This
will trigger an attack by Festers, and also open the way out for you.
Go through the locker room and down the stairs. When you reach the wall of
flames, rats will show you the opening in the wall to the right. Head
outside.
CHAPTER 16: WHO WANTS TO DENY FOREVER?
Go through the hole in the fence and climb down the hill. If both guards
below you survive, you earn good points.
Go through the doorway opened by the Festers into the exercise yard. The
gate on the far side takes you to the communications shack. Inside you get
an urgent tickertape. When you leave the shack, a fester conveniently opens
a heretofore locked gate. Go through the gate but don't grab the machine gun
until after you take out the festers with Molotov cocktails. Then gun down
the waves of slayers.
Go though the hole in the wall and out the door to end the level.
CHAPTER 17: DEATH BE NOT PROUD
Go though the open gate. Pull the crate next to the low building and climb
to the roof. There's a machine gun up here you can use on those below.
Hop down the way you came and circle the building. You'll have many slayers
to fight, but they will eventually stop coming. If the bus hasn't already
rolled down the hill, shoot the block of wood behind its right rear tire to
send it on its way. Climb over the bus to get out of the prison.
As you make your way down the road, there's a cinema of inmates having an
auto accident.
The road is blocked by flames. But if you explore the cliffs near where the
cinema triggered, you'll find a path that leads down through a cave. From
here you can hop across the river and then climb up the other side. But
before you get to dry land, you might want to hop across the rocks to reach
the crashed car and the supplies it contains.
Inside the shack next to the closed gate you'll find supplies. Continue
along the road until you reach a collapsed tunnel. Make your way through the
woods to the right, taking any of three paths. Before long you'll come to a
clearing with some stakes and a machine gun. Man the machine gun and shoot
the hordes of Marksmen.
There are two exits from this clearing, the obvious exit and a smaller path
through the trees to the right of where you entered. Take the smaller path.
You come to a supply shack. To open the shack, drag the nearby TNT crate as
near to it as you can and detonate it from afar. Climb atop the shack and
clamber up to the ledge above. Follow the path until you reach the crashed
plane.
Return to the firing squad field and go to the left. Watch out for the mad
bomber who throws TNT from the cave. Follow him into the cave.
CHAPTER 18: SINGLE BULLET THEORY
Keep to the right and you'll find a supply cache under a radio tower. The
main path leads to the left. Follow the flares left by the mad bomber
through a series of caves. Ultimately you come to a dead end. Backtrack to
the tall chamber. There are ledges to one side that you can ascend.
Progress through the caves by the only path available. The next dead end has
a trapdoor in the ceiling. Proceed through Fort Maleson by the only
available route until you come to a flight of stairs. Go down and before
manning the machine gun, throw some flares in the dark corners for the work
ahead.
The gun is pointed at a stack of crates. You need to detonate them to
unleash an army of Marksmen and Mainliners.
Follow the caves to where the Mad Bomber is trapped. You can free him by
shoving a TNT crate next to the stalagmites imprisoning him and detonating it
from a safe distance. Blowing the wall also helps you get a clear shot at
him if you're going for evil points.
Follow the caves until you come outside. Your guide, if he's still alive,
will go left. Follow him to the left and you will encounter a lot fewer
monsters. For a greater challenge, fight your way to the right and come back
later for your companion.
Either way, you'll eventually enter a large cave. At the end of the cave is
a ladder. Keep going until you reach the lighthouse basement where you'll
part ways with your guide (if you haven't killed him already).
Hermes will taunt you and let loose with his green gas. Run around the room
shutting off the red valves in the corners. Then close the trapdoors. Two
are held open by ropes. Another is closed by detonating the stack of crates
behind it. A third you need to shove a crate on top of.
Eventually Hermes will only be able to move between just two trapdoors. When
he starts to form in front of the furnace, turn the crack right in front of
the furnace to send steam gushing against him. The steam drives him into the
furnace. Run forward and slam the furnace door using the action button.
Leave by the door that opens for you. Climb the ladder to end the level.
CHAPTER 19: AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM
Leave the lighthouse and you'll meet three girls, called Inferna. Eduardo
will help you kill them. Once the inferna scream and turn into piles of
ashes, you must destroy their ashes or they will regenerate.
Take the road to the right, which leads to a guardhouse. Here Eduardo will
join you. He's one of the most helpful companions, so you might want to keep
him around for awhile. If you're playing for evil points, you can always
kill him later.
Eduardo takes you back to the lighthouse, and then says you need to turn on
the generator. He leads you on a very roundabout island excursion. From the
lighthouse, he goes west and then cuts south to a small cemetery where you
meet more inferna. Then he goes along the south edge of the island to a
truck where more inferna attack. From there he leads you back to the main
road and turns west toward the generator.
Quickly go into the door to the right of the collapsed tunnel and climb to
the spotlight. Direct it at the fiery pit on the other side of the fence to
stem the never-ending supply of slayers. Now get back down and help Eduardor
mop up any survivors.
To the right side of the fence is an opening. As you approach, three inferna
attack. Go into the fenced area and in the back you'll find a red switch
that turns on the generator. In the pickup are some supplies.
Now return to the lighthouse. On the way, Eduardo, never satisfied with a
straight line, veers north off the main road to take the scenic route past
some more inferna playing ring around the rosy.
Eduardo isn't done with you yet. He lead to you a cave to the north and then
says he isn't going in. But you can if you want.
Inside the cave are three convicts. Kill them for evil points, or try to
save all three from the hordes of monsters for good points. Explore the back
of the cave further and you will find a pile of stalagmites you can climb to
reach a hidden area. Return to the cave entrance.
Finally Eduardo leads you back to the lighthouse. Go straight into the
lighthouse and through two doors until you come to a room with a ladder.
Climb the ladder and go up the circular ramp. At the top you'll find a
machine with a crank. Using the crank has no effect. You must first break
the two pieces of debris that are jamming the gears. Use your axe. Try the
crank again and the lighthouse should start working.
Exit through the blue door behind you. Climb up and say hi to your son. He
doesn't act happy to see you.
Go back down and rejoin Eduardo. He leads you back to the guardhouse with
the closed gate. Your electrician buddy opens the way for you.
CHAPTER 20: LAST BREATH BEFORE DYING
The final gauntlet to the docks is pretty straightforward. Often to the side
of the road you'll find supplies. Fight your way down to the tunnel. Inside
you're attacked by inferna. Climb the scaffolding to the left of the
entrance. In the fenced area is a large horizontal pipe between two green
consoles. There's an explosive crate sitting next to it. Detonate the crate
to break the pipe and cause water to pour out. Push the nearby moveable
crate over the drain in the floor to cause the water to spread out.
Ultimately it will extinguish the flames.
Continue down the road. You'll come to a pickup by the side that explodes.
After you fight the inferna, go to the edge of the bridge and have a chat
with Hermes, who isn't as dead as you thought. There's a cinema of an
onrushing bus that you need to dodge.
To the left of this area is a ledge with supplies. Jump onto the bus to
cross the chasm.
Further down the road, past some Festers, is an area off to the left that
gives you a view of the burning village where Eduardo's family lives.
Eduardo leaves to save his family. You cannot follow him because of a wall
of fire that springs up. Inferna attack.
Continue past the cliff diving girls. The docks are just around the corner.
There is a building here with a few Xombium.
At the docks, you have three final bosses to fight. The first is your demon
self. Take him out with guns. The Gonzo gun is particularly effective here,
or you can use the machine gun mounted in one corner.
Next you are attacked by your human self. Invoke insanity mode to take him
out.
The final boss is a big sucker. He smashes the gate around the controls for
Dr. Killoy's blue device. Run up to the controls and lower the device by
pressing action and then down. The device will fire periodically. Run under
it to charge Torque with blue energy. Then use the Throw button to hurl blue
energy balls at the final boss. Aim for red light in the center of his
chest. You can tell when you hit because his body is laced with a blue
current. The iron crates next to the device make excellent cover from all
the of the boss's attacks.
After many hits, the monster finally dies.
THE ENDING
The ending you get depends on whether you did good deeds, evil deeds, or
relied heavily on insanity mode.
If you have lots of good points, you get Torque's family.
If you have more evil points, you get Torque.
If you used Torque's monster side a lot, you will get the Monster ending.
