Rat in a Maze - p. 2 | Walkthrough The Darkness II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

New objective: Turn off the power to access the Iron Maiden

You won't encounter here any enemies temporarily, but you have to focus on avoiding many light sources. Follow a yellow cable visible on the ceiling, choosing at the end a new tunnel, thanks to which you'll reach a room with three opponents.

IGNORE for now the enemy standing next to the table and notice his colleague visible in a distance, who is the only one to patrol this area. Wait until he goes in the opposite direction and follow his trace, carefully bypassing from behind previously mentioned first guard. Execute selected enemy before he turns around (screen above).

Now you can return to the first guard (the one standing next to the table) and execute him. Optionally you can also deal with third guard, occupying further part of this room. He doesn't change his position too, "showing" you his back by default.

Regardless how many people you decided to kill, return to the room where you've committed your first murder. Examine here the left wall, looking for interactive pipe shown on the screen above. After getting to the top reach the fuse box and in a well-known way cut off the cables (the middle mouse button). You'll watch a short cutscene here, informing you about loss of Darkness powers by Jackie and plans to execute him. You have to thwart the plans of course.

New objective: Rescue Jackie

Notice - contrary to what you may think, you do not have to hurry up reaching the place, where Jackie is imprisoned. So I suggest careful elimination of enemies, staying unnoticed. Start with jumping out from the shaft and head towards the corridor you came here from (screen above). Stay focused, because four enemies appeared in the area which was safe till now. What's more, two of them are patrolling area with turned on reflectors!

First opponent patrols the nearest corridor and if you hurry, you'll be able to surprise him from behind. In such situation choose the left tunnel when possible. If you haven't managed to kill him then wait until he illuminates the corridor and starts getting back. Whether moment of attack you choose, try to kill this person when he goes by a corridor leading to the room with damaged fuse box.

Head to the further part of the cellar, which was empty before but now is patrolled by three persons. This time try to enter to the right tunnel when it is possible. After using this hideout turn around and wait until new guard passes by (screen above), heading to the left. Follow him and perform an execution (a best moment for that is when he reaches the junction).

Now you're left with only two enemies to eliminate. I suggest hiding in the same tunnel you were waiting for the second guard, but this time look in the direction of adjacent cellar room. Wait until guard WITHOUT reflector passes the tunnel by (screen above) and execute him.

Now you have to surprise from behind the last guard with a reflector. His patrolling route resembles a rectangle. So you can easily get rid of him, risking nothing.

After elimination of all four guards, approach the barricade shown on the above screen, which you were not able to destroy because of the turned on lamp. This time you can destroy it, so press the middle mouse button to do so.

Move a little further and jump inside a small hole. Now head to the right, finding larger hole and getting through it (screen above). Carefully jump to the lowest level, trying to execute the last guard. You'll see a short cutscene now, after which you'll return to Jackie's body.
