Complete the Left 4 Dead 2 Crescendo Event by activating the Merry-Go-Round and fighting through hordes to reach the Tunnel of Love.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the Merry-Go-Round.
  2. 2
    Flip the switch on the wall to activate the Merry-Go-Round and open the gates.
  3. 3
    Rush around the ride to the other side.
  4. 4
    Flip the switch on that end to stop the ride.
  5. 5
    Fight through the Infected rushing from every direction.
  6. 6
    Proceed to the Tunnel of Love, located behind the termination switch, to find the safe room.
Tips
  • Use Melee Weapons or Shotguns to carve through the Infected.
  • A Pipe Bomb or Bile Bomb can keep the Infected at bay while you make a run for the safe room.
  • You can wait for the Infected to stop and then walk casually to the safe room.
  • A unique strategy involves getting one Survivor attacked by a Boomer (a type of Infected that spews bile) to draw the horde's attention, allowing the others to pass with less resistance. This is not always possible but can make the event much easier if it works.
