Welcome to the 'Carnival of Carnage', a twisted amusement park filled with deadly traps and even deadlier enemies. This level is known for its unique atmosphere and challenging encounters, including the introduction of Cheogh's Minions (small, fast creatures).
- Entering the Carnival: You'll start near the entrance. Immediately, you'll face Cultists and Zombies. The carnival grounds are open, so use the various stalls and rides for cover.
- Exploring the Attractions: Navigate through the different carnival attractions: the shooting gallery, the funhouse, the roller coaster, and the Ferris wheel. Each area will have its own set of enemies and often a key or switch.
- The Funhouse: The funhouse is a maze-like area with distorting mirrors and jump scares. Be cautious, as Phantasms and Cheogh's Minions often ambush you here. Look for a hidden switch or a key within the maze.
- Roller Coaster/Ferris Wheel: These rides often serve as platforms to reach higher areas or contain switches. You might need to activate a control panel to get them moving or to access a specific part of the ride. Watch out for enemies on the tracks or platforms.
- Finding the Keys: This level typically requires you to find multiple keys (e.g., Spider Key, Dagger Key) to unlock different sections of the carnival. These are often found in the control booths of rides or in hidden rooms.
- Activating the Exit: The exit usually involves activating a central mechanism or opening a large gate, often located near the main tent or a central plaza. This will likely trigger a large ambush. Prepare your most powerful weapons, like the Tommy Gun or Dynamite.
- Secret Areas: Look for cracked walls in the funhouse, behind stalls, or under the roller coaster tracks. Secrets here often contain Life Leech ammo or Fire Armor.
The carnival is a chaotic environment. Use the Flare Gun's secondary fire to light up dark corners and set groups of enemies on fire. The Dynamite is excellent for clearing out tight spaces or groups of Cheogh's Minions.
