• YouTube Video: Left 2 Dead 2 Walkthrough Introduction (Time: 3:16)

Weapons

Enemies

1. Grab your choice of melee weapon or second pistol and first aid from the table in front of you and head into the doorway.
2. NOTE: Unless you are working on a melee weapon achievement, it's advised you keep your pistols if there are no other guns available. You will be at a serious disadvantage versus special infected if you are limited to melee range only.
3. Make your way down the stairs and into the first hallway. You should see the first sign of infected zombies here. Have at them. Your goal is to reach the end of the hallway and make a left where there is an "EXIT" sign.
4. TIP: Check the rooms to the sides of the hallway for items to help you out. There will most likely be some sort of weapon or health pickup on the tables in one of the rooms.
5. A fire will start in front of you, forcing you to duck into the Housekeeping room.
6. Make your way through and out to the ledge outside the windows.
7. You will most likely be attacked by zombies, so clear a path until you see a window on your left not blocked by fire. Get inside as soon as you can. You'll want more room to fight the horde in.
8. Get out to the hallway and continue through the door at the end, down the stairs.
9. As you proceed forward in this hallway, fire will seep out, forcing you to jump over the furniture blocking the first room on the left.
10. Again, you'll be making your way across the ledge outside the windows.
11. NOTE: Check the rooms on your right for any items to pick up.
12. Enter the room at the end and turn right, putting you back in the main hallway. Continue on, making a left at the end. You should see an open elevator here, get inside and press the button.
13. Enjoy the conversation as the survivors descend and prepare to fight the horde as soon as the elevator stops.
14. After you pry open the door, you will have a couple of seconds before the infected start coming at you. Use this time to quickly pick up any weapons or items directly outside of the elevator.
15. Clear your way past the horde of incoming infected. Make your way right, outside the elevator and into the security room to acquire more supplies.
16. When you are done there, continue forward and duck into the first room on the right.
17. NOTE: Though the building is on fire, there should be a fairly clear path forward. Stay calm and look for areas which are not on fire.
18. Kill any infected here and jump over the table blocking the other side of the room. Continue around and back out to the hallway.
19. Due to the smoke and fire, it will be hard to see where to go here, but continue right and loop back around to the other side of this large room until you see an open door.
20. Head through it and you should see a large atrium, untouched by fire.
21. Watch for any infected here and try to make a quick beeline for the safe room straight ahead. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Stock up and open the safe house door.
2. You should see a bunch of infected milling about here. Kill them and make your way straight up the hill past the port-o-potties.
3. Turn right at the fence and take the street down. Watch out for zombie attacks from the walls to the left and right of you. They will drop down from above.
4. Duck into the building on the right when you reach the fence at the end of the street.
5. Head down the stairs and open the first door on your right.
6. NOTE: The door on the far side of the room is a dead end.
7. You'll see a car in a tunnel - this is the direction you want to head.
8. Past the tunnel, you'll reach a green field. Watch out for enemies coming through the bushes here. Make your way through this area down to the highway.
9. TIP: There may be weapons/supplies in the back of the large truck at the far left of the highway.
10. Walk forward until you reach another tunnel. You should see a small ladder on the side of the dumpster on your left. Climb this and jump down to the other side.
11. Kill any zombies here and make your way up the stairs on the right into the next building.
12. NOTE: You'll see a door next to the staircase here, be sure to check this room for any supplies you can use.
13. Head up the stairs inside here into another likely supply room. Take everything you need and go outside.
14. You'll be overlooking a ton of zombies down below. Pick off any that you'd like and jump down onto the truck from the hole in the fence.
15. Behind a fence on your right you should see a small staircase leading up - take this path.
16. Go around the side and up the stairs to a long overpass leading across the street.
17. NOTE: There is another storage room door here if you would like to check for supplies.
18. Head down the stairs here and into the gun store here.
19. Take your pick of any weapon in the house, along with any upgrades and supplies that may be lying around.
20. When you are ready, talk to the gun store owner through the intercom.
21. He proposes a trade with you. If you go to the market across the street and get him a Coke, he'll clear the path to the mall for you.
22. After his proposition, the side door will be opened. Climb up the stairs and jump down towards the market.
23. Open the door when you are ready. The alarm will sound and zombies will quickly be on your tail.
24. Quickly run through the store and pick up the cola at indicator to your right.
25. NOTE: While holding the cola, you cannot use your weapons or items. You are only able to shove enemies back with the LT. You can drop the cola at any time to use your weapons, though. Simply pick the cola back up when you have a sufficient opening.
26. Your goal is now to brave the hordes back to the gun store and give the owner the cola. Since you have to take the long way back, it is not as easy as it was getting to the market.
27. Go left and around the wall in order to reach the staircase you initially jumped from. Climb up and hold down X at the door to transfer the cola over.
28. NOTE: There is a short progress bar for the cola to transfer, so make sure there are no zombies within a few seconds of you before starting it.
29. As promised, the gun store owner clears the roadblock to the mall.
30. Jump back down and head around the street to the right. Take the first left you see, into the mall parking lot.
31. Watch out for the infected inside the CEDA tent on your right.
32. The safehouse is the entrance to the mall building to the left. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Restock on supplies and head out of the safehouse. Feel free to kill any zombies trying to reach in the door before you unlock it.
2. Hang right and make your way up the giant escalator in the middle of the floor.
3. Loop around and exit Kappel's department store. Go down the first escalator you see.
4. NOTE: Watch out for zombie attacks from the floor above. They will jump down and catch you unawares if you do not notice them.
5. Continue going forward, bearing right at the turn. Go up the escalator as soon as you see it.
6. NOTE: You can check out the bathroom on the ground floor to your right if you want to scavenge for items.
7. Make a U-Turn around your left side once you reach the top of the escalator. There should be a blue door a little to your right as you make your way back. Watch out for Chargers or other special infected as you open this door.
8. Quickly take a peek in the side room on your right for any goodies before continuing down the hallway.
9. Follow the pathway, down some stairs and through another door.
10. The room straight across from you is another storage room, check it for equipment and push down the hallway.
11. Your goal is the double doors at the far end of the hallway. If you want to be thorough, feel free to check the side rooms and the bathrooms for items.
12. As you open the second set of double doors, an alarm will sound, alerting the horde. Be prepared to fight extra infected forces as you continue through back into the mall.
13. This next section will be very exciting and tough. Your goal is to reach the alarm controls on the third floor of the mall before you get overwhelmed. An inordinate amount of zombies and special infected will be streaming forth at you. You must keep a balance between making progress and not getting overwhelmed.
14. Turn right and head up the first escalator you see. When you get to the top, loop around your left so you are walking on the right side of the mall going back.
15. There should be a diagonal escalator on your side of the mall. Take it and turn left at the top.
16. Keep moving forward, crossing the mall on to the left side. You should see the indicator on your screen with the alarm control on your left.
17. Go inside the security room and turn off the alarm controls by pressing X as soon as you get an opening.
18. TIP: If you have adrenaline or pipe bombs or any temporary power up, now is the time to use it. The heaviest concentration of zombies will occur usually right before you reach the alarm controls. You want to be able to clear a path to it quickly, before being overwhelmed.
19. Once the alarm is silenced and the area clear, pick up any supplies you see in the security room and head through the door marked "Exit".
20. Turn left and make another left into the other door marked "Exit". Head down the stairs and through the doorway.
21. You should find yourself in a long hallway. Run through it, clearing any enemies.
22. Go through the next room, which should be an unfinished store, back out into the mall proper.
23. Walk forward around the fences and you should see an escalator going up. Take this up and make a left at the top, looping around.
24. Walk to the end of the floor and you will see the safehouse to your left. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Get goodies and walk out of the safehouse.
2. Turn right and go down the hallway, making another right through the door at the end.
3. You will find yourself back in the mall. Continue on the makeshift walkway, bearing left at the end until you reach an elevator.
4. NOTE: The blue door across from you is a dead end.
5. As you descend the elevator, the survivors will explain how they will make their getaway. Basically, your goal will be to refuel the new car being displayed on the ground floor so you can drive off into freedom.
6. Scattered around the atrium are fuel cans, highlighted in white. Your job is to retrieve these cans, bring them back to the car's fuel tank in the back, and pour them in by pressing and holding down X. Keep in mind that there is a short progress bar as you pour the fuel can into the car. You will need to repeat this process for a total of 8 times in order to complete the chapter.
7. NOTE: Like holding the bottles of cola in the second chapter, you will not be able to use your weapons while carrying a fuel can. You are still able to shove zombies back by pressing LT.
8. NOTE: There are more fuel cans scattered about than needed. Any dropped fuel can will be highlighted in orange, rather than white.
9. While you are trying to refuel the car, zombies and special infected will be trying to impede your progress. There should be guns, ammo, and health packs in the kiosk on the center of the ground floor, near the car.
10. TIP: Try to go after the fuel cans on the upper floors first. Initially there should not be a lot of enemies, which will make it easier for you to go up and down the stairs. Save the ones on the ground floor for last, in case you are being overwhelmed.
11. There are three staircases to the upper floors. The one behind the car takes you straight to the third floor, while the other two will take you to the second floor. You can drop down to the second floor from holes on the third floor if you wish.
12. NOTE: You cannot simply jump off the third floor to the ground floor with a fuel can. You will need to be pulled up by a teammate if you try to do this too far up. However, if you are fairly close to the ground, feel free to simply drop down in order to save a little time. Watch out for your health, though, as you will take some falling damage. Do not risk dying if you are low on health.
13. When the last fuel can has been poured, simply walk near the car and a cutscene will play.
14. ACHIEVEMENT - Price Chopper: Congratulations, you have finished the Dead Center campaign!

1. Grab weapons and health packs and walk down the road in front of you.
2. You will soon come across abandoned vehicles in the street. Jump over these to make progress.
3. NOTE: Watch out for zombie attacks from the bushes on the side of the highway.
4. Cross over to the other side of the highway when you reach a truck you can't climb over.
5. Your eventual path will lead you to an exit on the right hand side.
6. TIP: If you go to the roadblock at the end of the highway just past the exit, there may be a weapons and item cache for you on the ground.
7. At the bottom of the offramp, you might see some supplies. Pick these up and continue left, under the overpass.
8. Eventually you will be funneled through a motel. Check the main offices on the right for any supplies as you head for the green stairs directly ahead of you.
9. You will be walking along the second floor of the motel, over the fence that's blocking your path on the ground. Watch out for zombies attacking you from inside the rooms on your right.
10. TIP: Keep an eye out for scattered items inside the rooms. You can generally peek through the large window to see if a room is worth your time.
11. Eventually, you'll reach a gap on the second floor walkway. Enter the room on the right next to the gap. You will be able to make your way around, through the rooms.
12. As you reach the end of the motel, take the stairs back down to the ground again.
13. TIP: Feel free to pick off any enemies on the ground before taking the stairs. There might be a large concentration of zombies milling about.

1. Stock up on weapons and open the door.
2. Be prepared for any zombie onslaught as you make your way into the amusement park.
3. ACHIEVEMENT - CL0WND: To "honk" the nose of a clown zombie, simply push it away by connecting a LT shove on it. You should hear a honking noise. Repeat this process 9 more times to unlock the achievement. You can repeat this on the same zombie if it is not killed.
4. Through the ticket area, you'll want to bear left. Make sure to check the refreshments building on your left for any weapons or items that may help you.
5. ACHIEVEMENT - Guardin Gnome: Near the refreshments building you'll see a shooting gallery with a sign that says "Peanut Gallery". Pressing the button in the middle will start the game. You have 45 seconds to amass 750 points by shooting the targets as they move along. There is a scoreboard to the right of the booth, if you want to see how many points you get for each target. The basic strategy is to hit as many targets as you can, without hitting any of the police peanuts. Hitting one of these will subtract 100 points from your score. Make sure you hit all of the large egg shaped character targets as they will give you 100 points. You will have unlimited tries to do this, however zombie attacks may occur while you are attempting this so be aware of your surroundings. If you are playing with other people, this game will be easier as everyone can shoot at once. It may take a few tries, but once you win, Gnome Chompski will fall out of the prize box to the left of booth. Once you have possession of him, you will have to carry him to the end of the campaign. He essentially acts like the cola pack from the Dead Center campaign. You can't use weapons while you are carrying him, but you can drop him and pick him up again. Basically, you will need to babysit the gnome throughout the next 4 chapters of the campaign. When you reach safehouses, make sure you walk far enough in and turn away from the door before ending the chapter. This will prevent the game from spawning the gnome outside of the safehouse in the next chapter. The achievement will unlock for you and anyone you are playing with when you reach the rescue chopper in Chapter 5. You will also unlock a Depche Mode t-shirt for your xbox live avatar.
6. Continue forward towards the hot dog booths. Turn right and head into the warehouse.
7. Keep moving through it, making sure to check the side room on the left side for any items.
8. ACHIEVEMENT - Fried Piper: Try to keep a molotov cocktail on you throughout the campaign. When you see or hear a clown nearby, check to see that he is followed by a bunch of zombies. Toss it at him to unlock the achievement. If it does not unlock, try it again later in the campaign.
9. Once through the building, you will be back outside at the fair.
10. Walk towards the cotton candy booth and down the ramp to the left. You will now be in Kiddieland.
11. Though this area may seem big and open, there is only one way forward and that's to the back left corner from where you enter Kiddieland.
12. There will more than likely be a Crescendo moment here, so keep your guard up.
13. Make your way through the alleyway into the backlots.
14. NOTE: Feel free to check the garage on your left for any supplies.
15. Go through the building across from the open truck and up the stairs and ladder to the roof.
16. Check the room on top of the roof directly behind you as you climb up the ladder for any items.
17. Press forward, up the stairs and look to your left. You should see some lights and a small, green staircase that leads down.
18. Once on the bottom, make a right and head for the other staircase under a sign that says "Rides".
19. NOTE: The area to the left of the staircase is a dead end.
20. Once at the top, be sure to check the room on your left for supplies.
21. Continue along the green pathway until you see a carousel and objectives on the ground.
22. You will have to turn on the carousel to open the gate forward. Unfortunately, this also sets off infinitely respawning zombie hordes at you.
23. Quickly go through the gate to the left of the switch and run around the carousel through the back. If you bear to the right, you will see an opening where the carousel switch is. Turn it off to stop the zombies.
24. Continue walking forward up the short flight of steps and you should see the Tunnel of Love.
25. The safe house is in the tunnel, close the door to end the chapter.

1. Restock your gear and head out the door.
2. TIP: If you have any pipe bombs or pick up any throughout the level, try and save them for the roller coaster chase sequence at the end.
3. Climb up the stairs and continue forward until you reach the swans at the start of the ride.
4. Turn right, and follow the water pathway forward. You can safely ignore most of the tiny backdrop rooms.
5. NOTE: Near the end of the tunnel, there is a room on your right side with actual doors. You may find items in here.
6. Eventually you'll reach the end of the ride. Turn left, into the swan maintenance room.
7. Head up the stairs here and wind your way through the upper walkway into another room.
8. NOTE: There's a door in this room, but it is empty, only used if you need to rescue a fallen survivor.
9. Go up the stairs here and continue through until you see a hole in the ground. If you have a pipe bomb or napalm, now is the time to throw it. Clear out as many enemies as you can from above before dropping down.
10. ACHIEVEMENT: Dismemberment Plan - If you have a grenade launcher, this is the perfect time to get 15 simultaneous kills as the zombies will be concentrated here.
11. You find yourself just past the blocked path from the tunnel of love earlier. Continue moving through the tunnel until you reach a door marked "Exit."
12. Go into this room and grab any items you see. Continue back outside to the fairgrounds.
13. Check the small office to your immediate left for any supplies. There should be a first aid box in there.
14. Walk back out towards the roller coaster. Bear to the right and you should see an opening in the fence. Go through it and left, under the scaffolding.
15. To your left, you should see the roller coaster controls highlighted on your HUD. When you are prepared to run the coaster, flip the switch.
16. Wait a couple of seconds for the gate next to you to open and be prepared to move fast.
17. This sequence is one of the hardest sections in the game. Like the alarm in the mall on Dead Center, you will have to make your way to the end of the roller coaster while hordes of endlessly spawning zombies attack you.
18. The most important thing you can try to do is stay on the track. Falling down means you take damage and run the risk of being overwhelmed. If you do fall down, though, look for a ladder nearby that will get you back up to the tracks.
19. TIP: Try to shove the zombies off the tracks. Not only does this get them out of your immediate way, you have a chance to kill them or remove them permanently.
20. NOTE: The first time the switch is visible on your HUD, you cannot access it. You must keep going on the coaster track past it and back around again. You will know you are close when you pass through a darkened tunnel.
21. When you see the right opening, quickly turn off the ride and mop up any remaining zombies.
22. Follow the path marked by the arrow around into the safe house. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Grab supplies and go out the door.
2. Make your way to the left, past the booths. You will see a bumper cars attraction to your right. Go inside here and back out to the alleyway.
3. ACHIEVEMENT: Gong Show - In order to get this achievement you will need adrenaline and a melee weapon. If you have neither, you should be able to find a guitar and some adrenaline in the tent across from the bumper cars. Next to the tent is a strength test event with a lights and a Mustachio standup. Simply shoot the adrenaline and melee attack the red weight. You will win the game and the achievement will unlock.
4. Keep moving straight ahead, then hang a left. You will pass a Meat Burger stand on your left.
5. ACHIEVEMENT: Stache Whacker - Next to the Funnel Cakes building past the burger stand, you should see a Stache Whacker machine. Start it up by pressing X. This minigame is essentially whack-a-mole with Mustachio head popping up. You can either shoot or melee attack them as they pop up. The goal is to get a score of 40 whacks. There is a time limit, but fortunately you can continue when prompted by pressing X to start the machine up again. When you reach 40 whacks, the machine will spark and spit out a bunch of tickets, unlocking the achievement.
6. At the end of the area on your left you should see a barn. Be sure to check the guardhouse to your right for items first.
7. Go into the barn and make your way through the rooms.
8. NOTE: Ignore the ladder here, it leads nowhere.
9. You should see a singular grey door, this is the one that is openable. Go through it and check for any weapons on the tables. Once outside, you should see a ladder leading up to the roof.
10. Climb up to the barn roof and continue crossing them until you are able to drop back down to the ground again.
11. Head right, towards the large Midnight Riders posters. You will see a ladder to a small walkway with some ammo on it. Clear out any loitering zombies here. Watch out for smokers on the rooftops as well.
12. You will see a switch on the ground floor through a window that will open the gate to the concert venue. Be prepared to move very fast as soon as the gate opens. A similar chase sequence to the coaster will occur, where zombies will spawn infinitely in very large groups until you reach the safehouse.
13. As soon as you flip the switch, zombies will flood in from the gate and from behind you. Stave them off until the gate opens, then run through them.
14. TIP: If there are any gas canisters nearby, pick them up and lay them in front of the gate and the pathway from which you came. Shoot them as soon as the zombies start coming to light them on fire.
15. Run through the pathway and make a U-Turn to your left when you can. You should see the entryway into the concert venue. You know you are going to the right place if you see hordes of zombies stream from the doorways.
16. Fight your way inside the building. The safehouse is just past the entrance on your left. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Grab your guns and go out the door.
2. There is really only one path to follow, so move right around the venue until you reach the stage. Feel free to use up your ammo as there will be a refill when you reach the end.
3. NOTE: There are bathrooms to your right and left, but it isn't worth your time to search them.
4. Clear out any zombies in the stage area. You must then flip the switch on the spotlight up top of the seats to prime the rescue event. Don't worry, the horde will not come until you start the concert using the controls on the stage.
5. TIP: There should be boxes of fireworks on the ground across from the stage. Pick these up and litter them across the venue where you can shoot them easily. Make sure you cover the backstage area as well.
6. NOTE: There should be medkits on the first aid cabinet next to the spotlight controls at the very top of the seats.
7. When you are ready, flip the switch on the stage to start the survival sequence.
8. You will have to survive for the next few minutes while the rescue chopper finds you. Use everything at your disposal to stay alive. The boxes on stage can be used as cover if you need it.
9. Almost every type of enemy will be thrown at you, including multiple tanks. You have lots of ammo so don't be afraid to use it.
10. TIP: If you run low on health, don't be afraid to heal yourself and make a run for the medial cabinet up top if you see a lull in the action. It's better to be over prepared, than die at the worst time.
11. TIP: There is a switch on the front of the stage that starts a pyrotechnics display on the front of the stage. You can use this to fry any zombies that happen to be in the area.
12. When you see a large fireworks display, that means the sequence is almost over. Get prepared to run stage left into the seats.
13. The chopper will hover over the first tier of seats to the left, if you are looking from the stage. As soon as this happens, quickly jump off and run towards it. If you are going for the Guardin' Gnome achievement, make sure you grab the gnome before running for the chopper.
14. Jump into the chopper to end the chapter and campaign.
15. ACHIEVEMENT - Midnight Rider: Congratulations, you have finished the Dark Carnival campaign!

1. Grab weapons and health from the tables next to you and head out towards the gas station.
2. Once at the station, move out the open fence to your left. Check the barn on your left side for items before continuing forward.
3. NOTE: Watch out for special infected hiding in the trees.
4. You should see a couple of cabins up ahead. Feel free to search inside for any items before continuing along the path.
5. Several more homes are up ahead. Search or ignore them at your leisure.
6. NOTE: You should find a frying pan melee weapon in one of the houses. You will need a kill with this weapon if you are going for the achievement.
7. Soon, you will reach a little town square with some stores and cars in the road. Keep moving forward until you get to a flooded area.
8. NOTE: Feel free to use the jukebox in the first store on your left if you want to put on some tunes.
9. Along the shore you'll find a mechanism to call the ferry. Before using it, clear out any remaining infected and stock up on any items nearby.
10. Make your stand with your back to the water. Enemies will come from in front of you, but keep an eye out for the occasional surprise behind you.
11. When the ferry arrives, get on and press the button to start the very slow ride across the river.
12. Once across, head on the path of wooden planks to your left.
13. Eventually you will reach a fork in the road with 3 pathways. Check the building on your left first for items.
14. The pathway to the right marked "Observation Deck" has more chances for items than the pathway marked with an alligator picture straight ahead of you. However, it's slightly longer. Both pathways lead to the same area, so the choice is up to you. Either way, make sure you stay on the walkway. If you fall, try and look for a ladder back up.
15. Eventually you will be funneled into an area leading into water. Look for the safehouse sign to confirm you are on the right path.
16. Jump in the water and wade towards the right. This is a wide open area with lots of foliage and opportunities for zombies to attack.
17. Keep forging ahead and eventually you will reach a shore with a light.
18. Head inside the tunnel safe house and close the door to end the chapter.

1. Stock up and get out the door.
2. You'll have to wade in the water for a bit. Follow the path of leaves forward, watching out for zombies around you.
3. TIP: Try to get on land as soon as you see it, for added maneuverability.
4. You should see a small boat in the middle of the water. Cross the river towards the tip of the boat to find the path forward.
5. A large open area with trees stands before you. Pick a direction towards the trees and make your way forward.
6. You should find yourself in an area with a building to your left and a small dock on your right.
7. Pick up any items here and walk the path forward, past the dock. You are going the right way if you seen an obvious pathway forward.
8. Eventually you will reach another bog. Wade through the water and you should see a crashed airplane on your left. Make your way inside and get ready to fight off the horde.
9. TIP: You should find some fuel and gas tanks inside the airplane to help set traps for the infected.
10. ACHIEVEMENT - Wing and a Prayer: This is a very tough achievement to get. You will have to survive the next sequence without taking any damage. You will need to coordinate pipe bombs and boomer bile in order to redirect the zombies away from you. Try to hole yourself up in one of the seats to create a pseudo-barrier around you.
11. As you open the airplane door, an alarm will sound. Use everything in your arsenal to survive. Keep in mind that the door actually opens, so you will be able to go out onto the wing if you need to.
12. Once all of the zombies are dead, go through the door and continue out into the bog.
13. After wading a short ways, you should see another mass of land. Keep moving upwards here.
14. NOTE: There should be a small boat on the left side of shore. You can check it for weapons and items.
15. As you move up, try to cross over to the left side. There should be a cabin here with some supplies. Check the firepit right outside it as well.
16. Make your way to the next water area, jumping over a log. You will be funneled towards the right, past the skeleton of a building into another river.
17. Wade through the water towards the submerged cabin. Make your way through it, picking up any items that may be inside.
18. After exiting the cabin, you should see a white car in the water. Bear to the left here and you should see an exit onto dry land in the far left corner.
19. Pick up any gear you see near the white truck and start walking down the road.
20. Stave off any zombies as you reach the fenced off farm.
21. Veer to the right here and you should see a building with an open door. This is the safe house. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Resupply and head out of the safe house.
2. Make your way forward through the center of the cluster of homes. You can check them for items, but your eventual goal is the house on the far left with the open door. There should be a yellow light emanating from it.
3. Walk through the house to the other side and down the hill to the next cluster of trailers and homes.
4. Cross the small wooden bridge to the other side and walk behind the house until you reach a larger wooden bridge.
5. Make your way across this and head forward towards the next submerged area.
6. Go under the wooden walkways until you see a staircase leading up. Work your way up here and across the walkways you passed under until you reach an open house.
7. Check around for supplies and continue through the back door.
8. Walk across the wooden walkway until you reach a small creek. There should be a narrow wooden pathway across it. Keep moving until you get to another area with buildings.
9. Cross through the water and move up the ramp directly in front of you. You should see a lever to lower the bridge across in the building. Get ready to fight off the horde.
10. A short survival sequence will occur while you wait for the bridge to lower. The zombies will not be endlessly spawning, so feel free to wait and clear the area before continuing forward.
11. When the coast is clear, make your way across the the elevated buildings. You should pass over some colored rooftops before returning to the ground level forest again.
12. Head towards the burning oil drum and outhouse before turning left onto a wooden walkway.
13. Cross the bridge and head forward. You should see the safehouse perched up top of a walkway to your left.
14. Make your way in and close the door to end the chapter.

1. Gear up and go outside of the safehouse. It will be light out.
2. Mop up any zombies here and head straight ahead, bearing to the left. You will climb a small hill and see an opening in the fence.
3. NOTE: Check the sundries building on your left for items.
4. Make your way through the rows of houses here towards the red two-story house at the end.
5. Don't go inside the house, turn left right before it and follow the street down until you see a white truck and a driveway into the plantation.
6. Make your way towards the mansion. The doors are boarded up, so you will have to take the yellow ladder up to the second floor on the right side of the house.
7. Climb inside the window and drop down to the first floor. Make your way back out through the main entrance of the mansion.
8. Clear out any zombies milling about here. You should see a radio at the far end of the yard, next to the gate.
9. Before calling in the boat rescue, take the time to pick out your weapons from the mansion. There should be 4 medkits to the right of the mansion as you face it in the yard. Weapons and ammo will either be in the yard or on the inside the house on the second floor near the turret.
10. It will take two calls of the radio to start the survival event. Once the rescue has been called in, quickly head back into the mansion to make your stand.
11. TIP: One way of doing this is by heading to the second floor balcony and making fortifications here near the heavy machinegun turret. Place fuel canisters on the far left and right ends of the balcony and close the door behind you. If you see zombies streaming forward from the yard, mow them down with the turret. Otherwise, keep an eye behind you and to your flanks. If you play your cards right, you should be able to survive until the boat comes.
12. NOTE: Using this strategy, you must take care to be away from the edge of the balcony when the tanks spawn. Fight them on the ground where there is room, or lead them around inside the mansion. You do not want to get knocked off of the house from the second floor as this will mean an instant incapacitation.
13. Once the boat arrives, the front gate will be blown open and you will have to make one last run towards the boat. Simply make a beeline straight forward out of the yard. There will be a little water wading, but if you are fast enough, there shouldn't be any infected out here yet. Otherwise, you may want to take the winding wooden docks to make sure you aren't overwhelmed before getting on the boat to end the chapter.
14. TIP: If you have any adrenaline, now is the time to use it to make sure you get to the boat quickly.
15. ACHIEVEMENT - Ragin Cajun: Congratulations, you have finished the Swamp Fever campaign!

1. The ferry drops you off behind a fast food restaurant. Your goal is to retrieve fuel and bring it back to the boat.
2. Move forward and pick up a secondary weapon. Don't worry, you'll find some primary weapons and medpacks inside of the burger place.
3. NOTE: Don't waste medpacks and items unnecessarily at this point. You will need to make use of them later in the campaign.
4. ACHIEVEMENT - Crass Menagerie: If you have been playing the campaigns in order, with a kill of a construction worker zombie in the beginning here, you should unlock this achievement.
5. Clear out any zombies and continue forward, out of the restaurant into the trailer park ahead.
6. Go over the ramp and over the fence. You should see a trailer with a ladder to your left. Climb over this and to the next street.
7. Move slightly to the right and cut through the playground and the alleyway in between the houses.
8. You should see a sign pointing to a garage sale on the right. Follow this street all the way to the end until you see the garage sale.
9. NOTE: Check the open ambulance in the middle of the street for any beneficial items.
10. Check out the garage sale for any items you can pick up and cut through either the house or the side yard next to it.
11. When you reach the next street, keep moving straight ahead past the houses until you reach the shrubbery and cannot move anymore. Turn right and continue cutting through the backyards of the houses.
12. You will see the safehouse at the end of the road. Climb up and close the door to end the chapter.

1. Stock up on weapons and head down the stairs to open the door of the safehouse.
2. Clear out any zombies on the street and go across through the open window into the sugar mill.
3. Once in the building, head to the left. There should be an open door leading back outside.
4. ACHIEVEMENT - SOB Story: To get this achievement you must reach the end of the chapter without killing any witches. Keep your flashlight off whenever you hear the audio cue for the witch. You should also try to keep a melee weapon on you and equip it when you hear a witch nearby. This will reduce the chances of disturbing any witches by gunfire. Note that the achievement only requires you to get through without killing a witch, not disturbing. If you disturb a witch, but can still manage to progress, try to do so without killing one. This may be hard to achieve in single player, as the AI may sometimes disturb a witch by itself. The achievement will unlock as you reach the safehouse without a witch dying.
5. Go to the right, past the blue trailer and through the open garage door.
6. Make your way through the mess of machinery and try to make it to the end.
7. NOTE: If you are trying to avoid all of the witches here, there is a small building which you can duck into on the right to make some headway without running next to them.
8. Once at the end, make a U-Turn and head back on the other side of the fence.
9. Back at the end, you should see a large ramp heading into a building. Climb up it and jump down.
10. Make your way past the machinery and walkways here until you reach the end.
11. NOTE: There will most likely be several witches in this area. Make sure your flashlight is turned off and that you take every precaution you can to not disturb them.
12. Turn left and head through the field to the open abandoned building at the end.
13. Climb up all the flights of stairs to the top and loop back around to the back.
14. You should see elevator controls and some items on the ground.
15. When you are ready to fight off the horde, call the elevator and make your stand. As soon as the elevator comes, quickly get on and press the button to descend.
16. The elevator will dump you off near the beginning of a large crop field. Visibility will be very low here. You will need to cross this to reach the gas station at the end.
17. TIP: If you have a melee weapon, take it out and make good use of it. One way to get thorough this is to head to the far left of the field before entering it. Hug the fence to your left and make a run straight through. Only stop to kill any zombies that are directly in your way.
18. After you make your way through the fields, run inside the gas station. The safehouse is two rooms inside. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. With fuel safely in hand, stock up on other supplies and head back outside.
2. You will have to make your way back through the crop field. Use a similar strategy as you did before and try to get back to the elevator quickly.
3. Hit the switch and ride the elevator back up to the top of the building. Fight your way down the staircase on the other side.
4. NOTE: Watch out for chargers in this area. If you see or hear one, make sure you take it out quickly or have your back to the wall. You do not want to be rammed off the building as it will incapacitate you quickly away from your teammates.
5. The field which you ran across earlier is now flooded with rain. Straight ahead of you, you should see a ladder leading up a silo. Climb the ladder and make your way across the silos until you reach the platform of the building at the other end.
6. Drop down and make your way back up towards the plank to your right. You should be able to jump down to the lower level walkways without taking much damage here. Take care to not fall all the way into the water.
7. Check the small room on your left for any items before continuing on.
8. NOTE: The storm should be coming down very hard at this point, hampering visibility. Try to stay near your teammates.
9. Keep moving along the walkway, squeezing past the machine. You should see an opening on your left and some pipes to fall on. Do so, and head out of the mill, bearing left out of the opening.
10. You will be back in a familiar section from the previous chapter. Retrace your steps and head back around the fence to the right.
11. Check the trailer for any weapons and continue up the pike straight ahead.
12. There should be a fairly obvious walkway of planks and machinery to take you above the ground a little bit.
13. Drop down when you reach the end and head through the garage door. Head left around the blue trailer to get back to the first building.
14. Once inside, quickly head right, outside and across towards the building containing the safehouse.
15. TIP: If you have a pipe bomb handy and the horde is attacking you, use it to distract the enemies for long enough to reach the safehouse.
16. Run up the stairs and close the door to end the chapter.

1. Gather any equipment and head out of the safehouse. The suburban neighborhood you travelled through last time is now flooded.
2. TIP: You will want to spend as little time as possible wading through water. Try to look for rooftops or makeshift walkways to maximize your maneuverability.
3. After dropping down, you should see a ladder leading up to the first building on your right. Climb this and run your way along the rooftops.
4. NOTE: At certain intervals the storm will get very intense, almost completely obscuring your vision. These are often accompanied by a Crescendo of zombie attacks. Make sure to stay close together and watch for these.
5. Eventually you will reach a building with an open window on the second story. Duck in here and clear out any zombies as you make your way back to the ground.
6. There should be a makeshift walkway leading back to a portion of the street still above water. Follow this and continue back down the street.
7. You should see a house lit by a porch-light on the lefthand side. This is the building that was hosting the garage sale earlier.
8. Make your way through this building and you should see the familiar garage sale in the front yard. Pick up any weapons that may be out here and continue down the street.
9. TIP: You can climb your way up the middle of the treehouse next to the garage sale. Use this vantage point to pick off any zombies you can see out in the distance.
10. Moving back along the street, you should see a ladder leading up to one of the houses on the right. Feel free to jump along the rooftops, as it should be faster than wading through the water in the street.
11. NOTE: If you are desperate for medical supplies, you can check the ambulance in the middle of the street to see if there are any left inside.
12. Keep making your way back to the house lit by another porch-light. You can either go through the house or through the alleyway next to it. This will lead you back out to the playground.
13. Move on the street to your right, wading through some water. You should see the safehouse on your left. Get inside and close the door to end the chapter.

1. Stock up on supplies in the house and head outside. You are very close to the burger restaurant from the beginning of the campaign.
2. Once outside, head straight towards your left and up the ramp. The restaurant should be within visible distance. Head towards it.
3. NOTE: There will still be intervals of very heavy rainstorms throughout this chapter. Be prepared for sequences of low visibility and zombie attacks.
4. Climb up the ladder on the left side to reach the rooftop. There should be several propane and gas tanks littered above the rooftop. Place these in strategic locations around the rooftop. Feel free to pick off any zombies from the roof as well.
5. TIP: It's best to make your stand at the rooftop, as you are in a better location to fend off the horde and also make a beeline for the boat when it arrives.
6. Stock up on any supplies you left behind inside the restaurant. When you are ready to start the survival sequence, hit the switch on the roof to start signaling the boat.
7. You will have to survive until the boat arrives.
8. NOTE: There are three was back up to the roof if you happen to fall down. There is the ladder in front of the restaurant, a ladder in the kitchen, and finally you can climb up the truck in the back to reach a platform and small ladder up.
9. As soon as you hear the boat arrive, jump off the back of the roof and make a run for the boat. It should be a short distance.
10. When everyone is on the boat, the chapter will end.
11. ACHIEVEMENT - Weatherman: Congratulations, you have finished the Hard Rain campaign!

1. You are dropped off on the waterfront and told to make your way to the bridge.
2. Pick up weapons and medpacks and head up the staircase.
3. Go through the gate and clear a path to the Waterfront Market directly in front of you. There should be an open door for you to walk into.
4. NOTE: You may encounter a SWAT zombie at this point. They cannot be hurt from the front, but go down pretty easily if you shoot them a couple of times in the back.
5. Turn left and make your way up the ramp to the right of the crashed truck cab.
6. Depending on the number of idle zombies, you might want to jump on top of the buses to clear them out from above, or simply drop down and make your way forward into the cafe around the corner.
7. NOTE: There is another jukebox in the cafe if you want to hear some tunes.
8. Open the door inside the cafe behind the register to reach a hallway that will take you out the back.
9. NOTE: You may find a couple of weapons in the hallway.
10. Once outside, continue to your right towards the burning oil can. Enter the building to the right and pick up any items you may need.
11. Open the large double doors and head out of the restaurant. There will be a primed car alarm on the vehicle do your left as you cross the arches.
12. TIP: Go right through the arches and take out any enemies in the open area away from the car. This will minimize the chances of a stray bullet setting off the alarm.
13. Make your way left past the car. The safehouse will be the last building on your right. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Stock up on items and exit via the door right next to the one you entered.
2. Clear out any zombies and work your way up the large staircase into the park. Be prepared to deal with a likely Crescendo event in the plaza here.
3. Pick a one of the staircases to climb up and enter the park.
4. NOTE: The restrooms near the entrance of the park usually contain a throwable item or two.
5. Make your way through the park. You can either head to the right and around the outer edge, ending up at some public restrooms or you can go through the hedge maze and find weapons and armor near the large horse statue. There is also an area with a gazebo, which might have some items as well.
6. Eventually you'll want to make your way to the bathroom or gazebo areas, as there are paths out of the park from either.
7. Walk down the street towards a green tent. There are usually items and medpacks under it.
8. When you are ready to move on, head inside the narrow doorway to the right of the tent. You should see a "Where Is Ceda?" spray painted next to it.
9. Once through, you'll see a ruined overpass. Clear out the zombies here as you make your way down the street to your left.
10. Eventually you'll reach an open gate and a CEDA trailer. Get inside and close the door once everyone is there. Pick up any items on the table that you may need.
11. As soon as you open the other door, an alarm will sound and you will be on a race to turn it off before you are overwhelmed by spawning zombies. This is a very similar event to the roller coaster chase from the Dark Carnival campaign.
12. When you are ready, open the door and race along the path to your left and around the narrow path between the fence and the buildings. Only stop to kill zombies that are directly in your way, otherwise you may be unnecessarily held up.
13. Though it may appear like a dead end, you will be able to enter the fenced off area to the right at the end.
14. Quickly pick up a new gun or weapon on the ground next to the green tent if you need it, and continue running forward.
15. NOTE: You should see arrows painted on the ground pointing you in the right direction.
16. Follow the arrows around the corner, back towards the green tent. Right before you round another corner, you should see a ladder on your right side. Climb this ladder and the next to reach the walkway where the alarm is located. Clear any zombies on here and rush to turn off the alarm.
17. When the alarm is turned off, clear out any remaining zombies. Fortunately, your high vantage point gives you good position to kill the rest of the zombies. Feel free to take any of the items near the alarm controls as well.
18. Once the coast is clear, drop down and head into the bus station directly behind the alarm controls.
19. Move through the bus station to the parking lot. You should see signs pointing to the safehouse.
20. Go directly straight and follow the sign right into the next area. The safehouse should be visible around the next corner. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Restock on weapons and health and head outside.
2. You'll find yourself under a ruined overpass. Make your way through this area until you reach the end of the overpass near the truck.
3. Continue to your right, through the gate. You should see a staircase leading up into a building. Take this and make your way through the ledge on the second floor. Drop back down to the ground past the large bus blocking the road.
4. There should be an opening in the fence on your left with a trailer visible. Head though here and take a sharp right turn back onto the street. You should be behind the fence blocking you just a second ago.
5. Head inside the open building on your right. Through the structure, you should be back out in a yard. Go up the stairs into the house marked "For Rent"
6. NOTE: You can check the RV on the left side of the street for weapons and items if you want to.
7. Move through the building until you see a hole in the back. Take the time to snipe at any infected loitering about on the ground before jumping down.
8. Walk forward into the unfinished house straight ahead. If you take the staircase up, you may be lucky and find some items in the bedroom blocked by the dresser.
9. Either way, make your way down and towards the back of the house on the ground floor.
10. Turn left and head back around the corner into a hole in the white house. Keep making your way through the house until you are back out in the street. Beyond the white van to the right, you should see an open manhole with a safehouse sign.
11. Drop down into the sewer and wade through the disgusting sewage forward.
12. When you reach an open area, stop to kill any attacking zombies.
13. It will be very dark in here, but the path out of here is very close in front of you. Simply move forward and you should soon see a ladder leading back up to the surface.
14. This next area will have a lot of cars with alarms. Try to get through here without setting them off.
15. ACHIEVEMENT - Violence in Silence: If you manage to reach the safe room without tripping any of the car alarms, you will unlock this achievement. To minimize your chances of doing so, equip a melee weapon and jump over the car to your far left at the beginning of the section. There should be less cars with alarms in your path if you take this route. You may need to do this with friends, as the AI has a nasty habit of tripping the alarms on their own.
16. Once through, you should see a ladder at the end with a safehouse sign pointing up.
17. Climb the ladder and continue up the stairs to reach a long road. An airstrike will occur over head.
18. NOTE: Be sure to check the open ambulance for any weapons or items.
19. Walk forward until you reach the hole the airstrike blew. Clear out any zombies from above before dropping down.
20. Head into the cemetery. Go past one row of crypts before turning right and running forward. If you entered the right one, you should see an open pathway. If not, it's okay, as the path will funnel you to the opening anyway.
21. Pick up any items at the large landmark before continuing onward.
22. Take the first pathway you can to your right. Keep moving forward and to the right whenever you can. Your goal is to get as far right as possible.
23. Eventually you'll find one of the exits from the cemetery. If you've made it all the way to the right, the safehouse will be in the building directly across from the exit. Close it to end the chapter.

1. Pick up weapons and ammo and open the safehouse door.
2. Clear out any enemies in this plaza and move forward as you hear jets dropping bombs overhead.
3. Go into the pink building directly across from the safehouse and up the stairs.
4. Once out on the white ledges, drop back down to street level and clear out any infected here as you make your way towards the bus at the end of the street.
5. Duck inside the open doorway to your right, next to the bus and make your way through until you reach the staircase near the tables in the back.
6. Climb the staircase, taking care not to jump out on to the street yet. You will want to drop down while still in the building onto some vending machines.
7. Move outside into the alley and around the fence in the back next to the sign that says "Private Lot".
8. Run forward, turning right into a back entrance of another building next to some pipes.
9. Take the stairs up two times until you reach the top floor. Pick up any ammo and weapons and head out onto a balcony area.
10. TIP: Try to take out any of the zombies from higher ground. There's a large tree blocking your vision straight ahead, but you can go around to the right for a better angle.
11. Once everything is clear, drop down onto the roof of the building. Your next objective is to start the tractor and survive while it moves the float.
12. TIP: There should be several fuel canisters on the roof of the building. Grab them all and drop them off the side. Drop down and position the canisters to provide coverage of a wide area. Enemies will stream from the staircase, the fence next to the initial position of the float, and from the buildings directly across as well. The best place to make your stand is at the rooftop where you initially found the fuel cans.
13. Once the tractor has moved the float, you will be able to cross into the building across with the safehouse marker. If you made your stand on the rooftop, you can start moving as soon as the float gets near.
14. Make your way through this building and down the stairs. There will be an exit to your left at the bottom of the stairs.
15. Go through the alley into the next building. There will be a medicine cabinet here. Grab anything you might need then continue outside onto the street.
16. Feel free to ignore the buildings around you until you reach a building with a blue door and a sign that says "Saturn's Speakeasy".
17. Go inside and straight until you see a staircase leading up. Go down the hallway until you see a brick building ahead of you. Below, you should see a safehouse sign spray painted on the wall.
18. Drop down and follow the arrow down the alleyway.
19. Watch out for zombies that may come out of the area to your right, halfway through the alley. You can go in here and through the buildings on your left to reach the street or you can simply run through the alley.
20. Either way you should see the bridge and an overpass ahead of you.
21. Keep moving forward under the overpass and round the corner to your right.
22. The safehouse will be at the end of this pathway. Close the door to end the chapter.

1. Stock up on items and heal up. Climb the ladder and you should find some more medkits and weapons to take.
2. Open the door and head outside.
3. Use the radio on the ground to hear your situation explained to you. You will have to lower the drawbridge and get to the rescue chopper on the other end.
4. ACHIEVEMENT - Bridge Over Trebled Slaughter: If you complete the bridge sequence in under 3 minutes, you will unlock this achievement. Time starts from when you hit the lever to start lowering the bridge. Make sure you do not have any AI characters alive when trying to attempt this, as they will most certainly get bogged down by either the environment or enemies. You will not have very much time to pick up weapons or heal, so keep damage and ammo expenditure at a minimum.
5. When you are ready, press the button next to the radio to start lowering the drawbridge.
6. As soon as the bridge finishes lowering, run towards the left, squeezing past the trucks on the left side. Keep moving here, not stopping for anything unless you need to get zombies off of you.
7. Eventually you will be forced to go towards the center a little bit. This should coincide with a large white 18-wheeler in the middle of the bridge. Underneath this truck should be more weapons and a frying pan. Take the frying pan and change weapons/refill on ammo if you wish.
8. Continue moving forward, bearing towards the right, as there will be a gap in the center.
9. When you reach the large ramp moving upwards, take it up.
10. Keep moving forward while staying on the right, dropping down onto the truck when the rise ends.
11. You will see some ammo in the truck on your left, grab it if you need it, otherwise keep moving forward.
12. Stay to the right and forge ahead.
13. TIP: You should see some wooden walkways hanging out to the right and left. If zombies are blocking your way on the main bridge, feel free to detour out to the side to avoid them and keep moving.
14. You'll pass another open truck with supplies in the back. Stop to grab things if you need them.
15. Right after you pass this, you'll see an oil tanker with a ladder in the back on your left hand side. Climb this and use it to reach the next section of the bridge that's elevated.
16. Keep moving forward, minding the large gaps in the middle of the bridge.
17. Drop down onto the bus in the next section. As soon as you do so, you should see the chopper pop onto your HUD.
18. Keep moving forward, bearing right towards the green tents.
19. NOTE: Theres a truck on the other side of the sandbags with weapons and items if you need them.
20. Run through this area until you reach an area where you can jump onto a bus and down to the bottom level.
21. TIP: Before you reach the end, you should see a little hole in the fence on your right. If you have enough health, you can jump down here to save time navigating the final section. It will take off about 50 health, so be sure you are healed up before you do this.
22. Make your way through the CEDA fence checkpoints the best you can. The chopper is just beyond this area.
23. Climb the short ramps and run into the chopper to end the chapter.
24. ACHIEVEMENT - Bridge Burner: Congratulations, you have finished The Parish campaign!
25. NOTE: If you have finished all 5 campaigns, you will have unlocked a Medpack for your Xbox Live avatar as well!
