Walkthrough
  1. 1

Tips
  • Mannequins are fast and can climb walls/ceilings. They attack with swipes or by firing Hell Seekers.
  • Hitting a Mannequin on a wall stuns them. Sawblade traps are effective due to their tendency to chase.
  • Homing projectiles are harder to dodge but easier to parry due to their tracking and slower speed.
  • The secret encounter with Big Johninator is located in a hidden area.
  • 4 Soul Orbs
  • 1 Red Soul Orb
  • Beat the secret encounter (Big Johninator) for a challenge reward.
