Navigate Part 30 of the Painkiller walkthrough. Battle commandos, tanks, and UFOs, discover secret areas, and aim for Tarot Card conditions in this action-packed guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the large building surrounded by a steel mesh fence. The door will close behind you.
  2. 2
    Work your way upstairs, defeating commandos and collecting ammo and armor. Use the interior elevator to reach the top floor, where you'll face another maso commando and a checkpoint.
  3. 3
    Grab electro ammo from the back of the eagle's nest and jump down to the next checkpoint.
  4. 4
    In the next area, deal with commandos sniping from plane roofs.
  5. 5
    Secret 5: Avoid mortars and tanks initially. Draw foot soldiers to the back corner behind the left hangar to find a secret area with a holy item.
  6. 6
    After clearing foot soldiers, focus on mortars and tanks. You might be on a Morph here; use it.
  7. 7
    Find ammo and head to the door in the wall right of the end hangar.
  8. 8
    Secret 6: This secret area contains an item crucial for the kill quota for the card. The door closes behind you.
  9. 9
    Erase maso commandos on the ground. Shoot the ammo box at the guardpost to trigger an explosion at a truck.
  10. 10
    Use the freezer and shotgun. Find ammo, heavy armor, and electrodriver ammo in the hut at the back left (climb the ladder). Drop off the roof to escape this area.
  11. 11
    Run to the row of hangars.
  12. 12
    Secret 7: Quick-jump onto the plane near the hangar, then onto the tail-fin to reach the hangar roof and grab the last holy item from the last secret area.
  13. 13
    If you don't want the card, drop off the back left of the hangar roof to skip the first hangar.
  14. 14
    Shoot the boxes and barrels blocking the back of the right hangar (or drop off the roof). Collect coins.
  15. 15
    Enter the hangar, freezer and shotgun ready. Deal with the first commandos.
  16. 16
    Hug the right wall to find health and mega ammo packs.
  17. 17
    Enter the middle of the maze, where more commandos appear. Watch for prox. grenades and use your freezer.
  18. 18
    Deal with commandos guarding the back of the maze, grab ammo, and head for the checkpoint.
  19. 19
    Look behind the two adjoining outer doors for ammo.
  20. 20
    Enter the next hangar with chaingun and rockets ready. Stay at the back of the bottom floor to defeat skeleton soldiers and maso commandos. Use Morph if available.
  21. 21
    Collect more ammo outside.
  22. 22
    Enter a hangar with four tanks. Stay high, jumping and dodging, while attacking them with rockets.
  23. 23
    After tanks are gone, defeat teleporting soldiers.
  24. 24
    Enter the final hangar with the UFO. Stay on the bottom level, freezing and shattering maso commandos, then dealing with sados.
  25. 25
    Defeat appearing soldiers, aided by more masos. Use rockets on soldiers and freeze/kill masos first.
  26. 26
    The exit appears on top of the UFO after the last monster is defeated. Tie up any missed secret areas and exit.
