    Secret Area 1: Navigate the sewers, avoiding souls and collecting ammo, including a mega ammo pack in a wall pipe. Find armour in a side room and more ammo/barrels further on.
  15. 15
    Checkpoint 1: Clear enemies, including campers, and grab health packs.
  16. 16
    Checkpoint 2: Pick up the rocket-launcher. To manage skeleton soldiers and avoid souls, get onto the roof of a train. Use the shotgun or rocket-launcher from here. Be aware of taller skeleton soldiers that shoot bullets.
  17. 17
    Secret Area 2: Under the escalators, find ammo boxes. At the very back of the train on the right, a secret area contains two holy items.
  18. 18
    Armour: Heavy armour is available by jumping along window ledges.
  19. 19
    Checkpoint 3: This area is tough with limited hiding spots. Bait monsters down to the lower levels and use rockets/grenades when they are clustered on the stairs. Avoid backing into souls. Health, ammo, and armour can be found under the stairs and on upper levels.
  20. 20
    Post-Checkpoint 3: After clearing the area, a checkpoint appears. You should have killed 148 monsters without collecting souls. Head left into a long room, eliminate commandos, and prepare for numerous skeletons.
Tips for Train Station
  • For Secret Area 2, after grabbing the secret, you can stand inside and use the stakegun to eliminate enemies easily, stepping right to shoot and left to reload, which helps avoid souls.
  • The stakegun is effective for clearing enemies in Secret Area 2 while avoiding souls.
  • When dealing with the large group of enemies after Checkpoint 3, use rockets and grenades on the stairs when they are bunched up.
