Last Stand | Walkthrough The Darkness II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

New objective: Defeat Victor

Follow your darkling. After reaching one of the corridors, you should notice that Victor started sending Darkness projectiles towards you. You can't avoid them standing on the side, because they are homing projectiles. Instead, according to the game's suggestions, you have to perform horizontal slashes with your right tentacles (hold the middle mouse button and move the mouse to sides).

Do not count on that, that Victor will stop after sending out several projectiles, because he will keep sending them until you get closer. So you have to destroy projectiles, while moving towards him. After Victor flees, resume exploration of the area. In the next corridor you'll find weapons, ammo and a Talent Shrine. I suggest preparing well, because you'll be fighting boss soon.

When you decide that you're ready, start pulling out boards (Q and rhythmically E), which block access to a large room in the attic. Enter the new location, jump to the lower floor and explore the area to the right, picking up a relic (The First - 27/29). Use the fact that the duel with Victor won't start, until you approach the opposite end of the attic and remember positions of ammo sheds and optionally taking with you some large object to use it as a cover.

Try to approach Victor visible in a distance, which will result in appearance of his helpers. Their elimination should not be a problem. I suggest killing them in a traditional way, but avoiding executions, so you'll be able to eat their hearts later on to heal yourself.

Victor will join the fight after you eliminate all his subordinates. Boss will use mainly Siphon to inflict you damage, so you should use covers wisely. You have also to watch his actions, because he likes to change his position on the battle field constantly. Luckily he is surrounded by characteristic aura (same as Peevish), so you can find him easily.

As for attacking Victor, I recommend using mainly firearms, because on this game stage you should have a very good assault rifle, plus there is plenty of ammo in the area.

Using the firearms is not the only option, because from time to time Victor appears near Jackie, and in such situation you may use the right tentacle. Additionally I recommend using the Swarm attack (the F key), because Victor is not resistant to it and can be easily stopped for few seconds. Keep fighting until boss loses about half of his health. The game should save your progress at this point and you'll advance to the second part of the battle.

Boss will send his subordinates on you again, and elimination of them should not be too difficult, although one of the opponents could have a shield with him. Same as in the first part of the battle, make sure to leave several dead enemies to be used later and heal you thanks to eating their hearts.

You can now return to attacking Victor. Notice though, that meantime he has "learned" few new moves. First of all boss will start sending out new projectiles and the main difficulty is a fact, that they can be horizontal or vertical. So you have to destroy them skillfully (with vertical or horizontal slashes, respectively).

Victor can also summon darklings from time to time, but same as with Peevish fight, they die quickly and even if they can get closer to you, they won't inflict too much damage. Keep fighting until Victor loses entire health bar. Noteworthy is that defeating Victor is rewarded with 500 essence points.

New objective: Pick up the Siphon

There is only one more thing to do in this chapter. You have to approach the Siphon left by Victor and press the E key. You'll watch a short cutscene with Jackie committing suicide. He wants to be sent to hell to save Jenny.
