Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start in the Town of Ash, head right down the street, defeating hell spawn, defilers, and a ravager. Enter the door on the left.
  2. 2
    At the end of the corridor, drop into the water, dive, and follow the underwater tunnel to a hole in the floor.
  3. 3
    Surface and wall run up to a block, then death grip to the platform above. Open the chest for the legendary weapon ‘Hell Maul’.
  4. 4
    Turn around, jump to the left wall, wall run, wall jump to the broken door platform, and leap over the door to find a small room with another chest.
  5. 5
    Drop back into the water, swim to the main pool, and wall run up a block on the opposite side to a higher ledge.
  6. 6
    Enter the door on the left and push the block down to the hallway below to create a shortcut.
  7. 7
    Backtrack to the street and enter the door on the opposite side.
  8. 8
    Go down the stairs, death grip across the room, and climb the stairs on the far side.
  9. 9
    Enter the door at the top and drop down the hole. Make your way across the room to the far right. A scene will play.
  10. 10
    Continue to the end of the hallway and drop into the pool of water. Wall run up the ledges on the far side and enter the door.
  11. 11
    In The Underground, kill the hell slaves and proceed to the far end. Climb the stairs. Before opening the door, turn around, wall run to the ledge above the stairs, and open the chest.
  12. 12
    Return to the door and go through. On the balcony, wall run across to the opening on the far side.
  13. 13
    Grab the stone block on the left and drag it to the right, placing it on the pressure plate to open the gate between the spikes. Grab the chest there.
  14. 14
    Return to the block and push it as far as possible into the opening on the north side. Drop down into the room below.
  15. 15
    Run to the north wall; the block allows access to a higher area. Follow the handholds to a platform and enter the nearby door.
  16. 16
    Open the chest opposite the entrance. Kill any hell slaves and proceed to the doorway at the top of the stairs in the northeast corner. Exit back to the streets.
  17. 17
    In the Town of Ash, turn left and drop to the lower road. Fight demons until a scene plays.
  18. 18
    Head to where the concrete slab fell during the scene and descend the stairs behind it.

    After a scene in Safe House Three, a boss fight against The Warmaster will begin.

Boss: The Warmaster

  • Stats / Weaknesses: No specific stats provided, but the strategy implies he is vulnerable to attacks after his own.
  • Phases: Two main phases are described: normal and enraged.
  • Strategy: Dodge The Warmaster's fast charge attacks. After he finishes an attack, hit him a few times. At half health, he becomes enraged, regenerating all his health and increasing his speed and attack damage. The strategy remains the same: learn his patterns and attack during openings.
Tips
  • Be quick with dodging, especially his charge attacks.
  • The legendary weapon ‘Hell Maul’ can be found in a chest early in the Town of Ash section.
  • A shortcut can be created by pushing a block down a hallway.
  • There are several optional chests to find throughout the area.
  • Legendary Weapon: Hell Maul
  • Progress in the DLC story.
