This is the second last chapter to this tale! This one is similar in length as the previous one and overall not too difficult. The hardest part is Quell, the boss of this area.
At the end of the escalators there are explosive traps. Disarm them. Also, one of the enemies is invisible. You can see him in easier difficulties (Casual and Survival).
The subway section isn't too difficult either. If you picked up a bottle earlier the start of this part is a bit easier. Otherwise, you can find a bottle as shown in the video. Use that bottle to lure enemies to one spot. Your main target is the Fake. I suggest to eliminate him using a freeze bolt. Kill as many as you can with a single one and take the rest of the Haunted out using your sniper rifle. When treading through the water, crouch down to not wake up the invisible enemies.
When going down the stairs to get underground, you can mostly run through to the next mirror.
After lowering the sewage water an AlterEgo will raise. Behind him is the hole you need to go through. Be wary of the bear trap that is placed at its entrance.
I don't have many tips for the Traum ambush. You basically just have to run through. However, keep a shock bolt ready for when you turn the wheel.
You can shoot Quell in the head to avoid its grab animation.
Quell can be a pain to deal with. I suggest reloading the autosave as soon as Quell escapes/turns invisible/spawns small enemies. Prepare shock bolts, explosive bolts, grenades and your magnum. You need the following:
- 1 shock bolt
- 3 explosive bolts
- 3 grenades
- 5/6 magnum bullets (keep the rest for the ending in chapter 15)

Honestly, I died quite often in chapter 2 because I had trouble finding a good stealth route. Knowing how to insta-kill enemies with the bottle throw will make your life easier.

Make sure you get the Bubbline as we need it for Monster X and the Blood Stained Sanctuary / Sacred Grounds.
Balrog
- All Balrog fights are essentially the same, you just have to evade differently
Curly Brace
- I recommend using your Fireball. When they hit the wall they will bounce back and either hit Curly or the other Mimigas
Omega
- Id only use the Fireball here as well. Stay close and just blast Omega away
Rabid Toroko / Frenzied Toroko
- This fight is a bit harder. I think a combination of Polar Star and Fireball works well
- As long as you can evade the throwing attack you should be fine
Puu Black
- I recommend a level 1 or 2 Blade because you can attack very quickly as long as you are close
- You can stay underneath Puu Black for a short while but you have to move otherwise you will get hit
Monster X (Phase 1)
- One of the hardest bosses. You should have your Sword at max for this fight
- Firstly, try to kill all Gaudis in the arena
- Stay on its treads. When it stops, shoot once or twice (maximum) with your Blade
- Instantly run away and use your Bubbline to fend off the projectiles
- Repeat until phase 2
Monster X (Phase 2)
- When it opens up, be underneath and shoot the Blade a few times (up to three times) up
- Then focus on the missiles
- The Blade can take out a few with one shot
Core
- This is one of the hardest fights with 3HP
- The main idea is to keep shooting while instantly swapping between all of your weapons (tap shoot/switch weapon alternating)
- In the beginning jump onto the same block as in the video. This results in your Fireball hitting the core
- Once you fall down and you make your way back up onto the left location, stay on the block as shown in the video in order for your Fireball to hit the Core
- Make sure you keep an eye on the white projectiles from the smaller cores. Be careful if a small core is above or underneath you (Id move to a different location because its hard to dodge)
Ironhead
- Id just spam the Blade (level 2) into it
Ma Pignon
- Charged Spur shots should do the trick
Last Cave (Hidden)
- After doing it a couple of times, the platforming should become easier
Red Ogre / Red Demon
- I recommend your Blade in level 1 or 2
- Just spam the Blade while keeping the boss behind the protruding stones
- When he jumps up, just switch sides and keep spamming your Blade
IMPORTANT: Make sure you do NOT have a level 3 Blade for Undead Core
Misery
- Just charge your Spur and shoot her when you can. Easy enough
Doctor
- Before starting the dialogue, charge your Spur and release it during the dialogue to get a free hit
- Just charge the Spur and shoot the Doctor, avoiding the crystal
Muscle Doctor
- Level 2 charges are dealing a lot of damage already. Try to spam it as much as you can
- You can kill him before you see bats
Undead Core
- At level 2 you can focus firstly on Misery and deal a lot of damage when you stand inside of her
- IMPORTANT: Misery will only shoot projectiles/spawn critters if you hit her or Sue. Just dont shoot anyone if you need a break and want to reposition yourself. If you stay on the ground, she will only spawn critters
- After Misery, focus on Sue. She only damages/kills you when she does her spin attack. Use the Blade to deal a lot of damage
- At the end, just use your Spur and focus on Undead Core. Keep in mind that it will shoot 3 undestroyable projectiles when its low on health. When Misery and Sue are down, Undead Core should be fairly easy
- Good luck not getting crushed on your way to the Prefab House
Heavy Press
- Go into the fight with a charged Spur shot. Then just spam your Polar Star
- Focus on the Butes and only deal damage when you feel safe enough - no rush
Ballos
- The first three phases are easy enough
- During this entire sequence you should have gotten enough XP to max your Blade
- Your Blade will deal a lot of damage in Phase 4 of the fight
- Just spam your Blade and dont focus on Ballos himself
- Focus on the Butes and take them out with Curly if they are too close
- At one point you possibly will go above Ballos to the other side. At a similar time he will spawn a few Butes from inside of him going upwards. Be very careful of them
- Keep spamming your Blade and Ballos should die
Good luck!
