Vendettas campaign - hints - p. 1 | Vendettas The Darkness II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The campaign of Vendettas mode is constructed in such way, that you can play it many times. Battles which you'll fight during the play can radically differ depending on how many players take part in the game (it should be four of them), what characters they control, how these characters are developed and which style of playing they prefer (fight on a short range, shooting from a distance, relying on unique demonic weapons, etc.). Following tips are universal. I advise to read them regardless of how and in what company you're going to play Vendettas campaign.

Note: I strongly recommend not attempting to complete the campaign on your own. While the initial chapters are quite easy, then starting from like four chapters it is getting much more difficult and single character can have big problems there. It is worth noting that you can adjust difficulty level without restarting the campaign, only pausing the game and opening the options menu.

Chapter 1 - Here's Johnny

This chapter is very short and very easy. During the crossing through the junkyard I recommend regular destruction of local light sources, but you should know that some generators are very good hidden. For example the generator powering the first indestructible lamp is located inside the right building, on the floor (screen above).

In the final part of this chapter you should defend yourself against enemies' attacks. If you play alone, then it is the best to hide inside the building with imprisoned Johnny Powell. And if you play with other players, then it is best to place your team members in the entire area or split in two groups.

Chapter 2 - Stop the Press

Also this chapter is not a big problem. Main fights are fought inside the large warehouse with printing press and you have to remember that enemies occupy not only the ground floor, but also upper balconies. There are two different paths leading inside the warehouse and during securing it, it is good to destroy lamps illuminating the warehouse.

After overpowering the first fuse, new enemies will appear in the warehouse. I suggest retreating to the safe place because many enemies will start shooting from inaccessible balconies located at the warehouse roof (screen above).

After overpowering the second fuse and collecting the artifact you have to prepare to deal with group of monsters, similar to those met during the last chapter of the singleplayer campaign. Regardless if you play alone or in the team, try to keep those monsters on a distance, because they can inflict only melee damage.

Chapter 3 - Dead-End Job

This is yet another easy chapter, during which you won't encounter any stronger enemies. During crossing between buildings you should remember about regular turning off the indestructible lamps. It is easy since generators which power them are located next to the lamps, so you do not have to waste time on searching them. Ordinary street lamps can be destroyed at once.

Watch out for enemies, who will come running from the left container, after reaching the basketball yard (screen above). Do not let them inflict huge damage to you or any other players.

Do not count on the fact that on the way back (after picking up a package from Dolfo) the area will be secured, because many new enemies will appear. Their elimination is fortunately very easy. Be ready to deal with new group of demonic creatures, similar to those from a previous chapter. They will attack you after you kill Luigi and collect an artifact

.

Chapter 4 - No Brothers of Mine

During playing through this chapter you'll meet Brotherhood members. Initially you'll encounter only weakest Brotherhood opponents, but expect troubles after reaching the location, where the final battle will take place. During the first stage of the fight you have first of all eliminate an elite enemy with a whip and destroy all upper lamps illuminating the area. Reflectors mounted on the right car can't be destroyed or turned off, so you have to ignore them.

A second part of the battle is the duel with a boss - Cedro Valdez. Ignore the fact, that initially he doesn't lose any HP, because first you have to destroy his armor. As result it is better to play this chapter in a team, because in that case it would be easier to attack the boss from different sides and destroy his armor faster.

Valdez's health bar will start decreasing only after destroying all his armor. If you play solo, move constantly and try to attack him from behind a cover. If you play in a team, try to attack the boss from different sides, forcing him to focus his attention on only one of the players. You can find helpful Swarm (Inugami) and Black Hole (Dumond) powers, allowing you to stop the boss for few seconds and make him and easy target for rest of the players.
