Painkiller Part 35 walkthrough: Find secret areas, collect ammo boxes, and defeat enemies in the Forest level. Includes tarot card conditions.
Walkthrough
- 1Quick-jump over the nearest arch to safety as the floor caves in.
- 2Run around the level until you spot the holy item at the bottom of the ladder in the secret area.
- 3Grab the relic, climb the ladder, and run right to find the next ladder leading up to four pillars along the outer wall.
- 4In this secret area, collect the Mega Ammo (1), a super-health pickup, and another mega ammo pack.
- 5Drop off and go around the inner wall to find the checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) through the open window.
- 6Tarot Card Condition: 70 Ammo Boxes Found.
- 7Checkpoint 6
- 8Freeze the templars and executioners, including the larger executioner that spawns on the middle platform after others are defeated.
- 9Once the middle platform executioner is dead, it will collapse to the lower level.
- 10Pick up the ammo boxes from the upper circle: Freezer (2), Shotgun (2).
- 11Drop to the middle level and collect more ammo boxes: Chaingun (4), Grenade (3), Shotgun (3).
- 12Take health if needed, then drop to the final area.
- 13Defeat the templars, then the beasts (whose souls can push you to another Morph), and finally the executioners.
- 14Pick up the last ammo boxes: Chaingun (2), Driver (3), Shotgun (6).
- 15Hit the exit.
- 16Tarot Card Condition: 95 Ammo Boxes Found.
- 17Tarot Card: Double Time Bonus (Gold).
- 18Level 4/4 Forest
- 19This level opens only after completing Babel on Trauma difficulty. Tarot cards cannot be used on the first playthrough but can be equipped on revisits.
- 20Monsters (107): BONES, BIG VAMP, GHOST, WITCH
- 21Miniboss: HEAVY COMMANDO (2)
- 22Gold: 300
- 23Armour: 1
- 24Holy Items: 3
- 25Ammo: 34
- 26Objects: 4
- 27Secret Areas: 2
- 28Tarot Card Condition: Finish the level without using the Black Tarot.
- 29Run around the outer circle of the first area.
- 30Deal with the big bones by keeping them in front of you; move constantly to avoid attacks from behind.
- 31For big vamps, try to shotgun them while avoiding stabs from bones. Freeze them when possible, but prioritize killing bones first.
- 32The ghost is an irritation due to your low health (100) on Trauma difficulty.
- 33Collect the armour in the middle of the ruins and spread ammo.
- 34After dealing with other monsters, face the fast witches. Shoot slower ones with shotgun blasts or the chaingun.
- 35For the two fast witches, either use many shotgun shells or stand at the end of their flight path and shoot your stakegun as they pass.
- 36Secret 1
- 37Once the last witch is dead, a checkpoint appears. Save your game.
- 38To reach the two holy items on top of the highest arch:
- 39Run around the outside walls until you find a right-angled corner with rubble leaning against it.
- 40Walk straight up the slope of the rubble from a specific spot at the base to reach the top without being thrown off.
- 41From the top of the stone, quick-jump right to land on the broken gap in the right wall.
- 42Turn left and quick-jump up the narrow, invisible ladder set into the bricks.
- 43At the top, jump right to avoid falling.
- 44(Note: Quicksaves are not allowed in the Forest level).
- 45You should be on the first, low arch. Jump up the small wooden stick in the corner to reach the arch to the right.
- 46Run across the drooping vine to the middle arch, then across the next vine to the top of the arch where the holy items are.
Tips
- Keep moving to avoid attacks from behind, especially from the big bones.
- Prioritize eliminating the bones before engaging other enemies like big vamps.
- Use the environment and specific weapon strategies for difficult enemies like the fast witches.
- The invisible ladder in Secret 1 is tricky; precise jumping is required.
- Remember that tarot cards are disabled on the first playthrough of the Forest level.
