The Darkness 2 Walkthrough Part 10 – Homecoming
Head forward, use the Talent Shrine if needed, then turn left. Smash through the boards blocking your way and go through the opening there. Make your way forward slowly as there is a lot of the Brotherhood to make your life difficult here. Weave forward through the rubble.
Once you clear it, you will need to deal with another wave of the Brotherhood. A brawler will come charging at you so be ready for it. Retreat back and start shooting away. If you can get a Blackhole here, it just leads to some very quick slaughtering and fun times.
Head forward, into the light and to the left. Go up the stairs you find through the doorway. Head to the top of the stairs. There is a good gap you need to clear now. Use Grabby on the wall to your right to rip it down. Deal with any of the Brotherhood who are in front of you. Now head into the wall you collapsed and turn into the hole you made. Head in and to the right, jumping the hole in the floor. On the other side is a relic, “The Silent Night”. Now head out and to the left. Make your way over to the other side of the room and to the right. Head through the open doorway. You will assaulted by an Armored Brother and a Gunman. Kill them both to press on.
Head into the next hallway, deal with the pair of Brothers there and head into the first room you can on the right. You will find a Talent Shrine waiting for you there. Turn left and head through the hole in the wall. Go down the stairs to your right into the big ball room. Head for the piano in the center of the room and examine the photograph on it.
This triggers a scene with Victor where he reveals just why the Brotherhood is so keen to rip the Darkness from Jackie. Once it is done, you need to get through one big fire fight. This area is well lit overall so it is important for you to keep on the move and stay in the shaded areas. While Jackie needs to keep this in mind, every enemy with powers that emulate the Darkness do not seem to mind light as much. Use Slashy as much as possible to save on ammunition as there are a lot of things to kill. There are about six waves of the Brotherhood you need to wade through. Thankfully, no one with floodlights seems to come in. Instead you will encounter virtually every other type in fair abundance: Whip, Riot Shield, Teleporter/Dasher and Gun-totting. Keep moving, executing and eat hearts to get back health, to make it through the ambush.
When it is all over head for the door that opens under the balcony oppose where you came in. Head through the doors and to the right. Hit up the Talent Shrine as you should be able to pull off an upgrade easily now. Head down the corridor and up the stairs. Immediately go to the left at the top of the stairs, crossing the boards there. Head to the break in the wall to find another relic, “The Deceiver's Grasp”. Now head along the other way.
As you across the room, be ready for a good gun fight. Victor will taunt you as you go through so just ignore him. Head to the railing and keep moving along it to the right. Follow it over to the other side, just slaughtering all of the Brotherhood who are in your way. This is a fair number of Gunmen but there are a few with whips scattered throughout and one Armored Brother as well. On the far side, head down the corridor you find at the point the balcony is blocked. Rip open the door at the end of it to move on.
Rip the door open with Grabby and head on up. Victor makes a quick appearance as you climb upwards. Just keep moving up the stairs and through the next door on your left.
