Painkiller Part 16 walkthrough: Destroy all objects to get the Haste tarot card. Includes Evil Monk and Psychonun strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1Smash the chest in front of you and proceed through the hallways and corridors.
- 2Kill the three evil monks (NPCs that attack you) that spawn after the doors close, then push open the metal door.
- 3Kill the monks at the bottom of the stairs, being aware of those spawning behind you.
- 4In the lower level, kill the appearing monks to reveal the next checkpoint (a save point).
- 5SECRET 1: Before reaching the checkpoint, go up the other stairs to find three mega ammo packs and two chests. Use the Painkiller's blades to destroy the large chest. Pick up the stakegun from this secret area.
- 6Hit the checkpoint. [TAROT CONDITION: 3 OBJECTS DESTROYED]
- 7More monks will spawn from all corners; keep moving, jumping, and using your shotgun.
- 8Grab the medium armor from the corner room once the doors open.
- 9Hit the next checkpoint. [CHECKPOINT 2]
- 10In the small outdoor area, use the barrels to kill groups of monks.
- 11Jump back up the stairs you came down and go past the closed door to the other side.
- 12From this vantage point, use the stakegun to kill the monks below who cannot reach you.
- 13Destroy the nine chests in the small rooms surrounding this area.
- 14Once all chests and barrels are destroyed, head for the checkpoint. [TAROT CONDITION: 38 OBJECTS DESTROYED]
- 15[CHECKPOINT 3] This area can be tough with evil monks and psychonuns appearing from above and below.
- 16Watch for flaming barrels and collect souls from monsters killed by them. Use your shotgun, but you can use the stakegun if desired.
- 17SECRET 2: Find a chest under the stairs, a holy item, and a secret area.
- 18Another chest is at the top of the stairs, and two more are in the low room next to the stairs.
- 19Destroy all barrels, including those in the upper corridor.
- 20At the back of the upper corridor, a flaming barrel will be thrown through a side door; watch out for its explosion, as it counts as a destructible object.
- 21The end of the upper corridor offers a good camping spot with your shotgun, with armor on a nearby ledge.
- 22[TAROT CONDITION: 73 OBJECTS DESTROYED]
- 23[CHECKPOINT 4] This room has barrels on both upper and lower levels. Prioritize eliminating devil monks.
- 24Run around the walls of the lower level, avoiding melee monsters and occasionally shotgunning them.
- 25Ranged evil monks will drop souls when they miss throwing axes. Collect enough souls for another Demon Morph.
- 26Pick up the health in front of the altar, and collect the ammo behind it after hitting the chest.
- 27Once monsters stop spawning, clear the remaining barrels, collect ammo, and head for the upstairs checkpoint. [TAROT CONDITION: 99 OBJECTS DESTROYED]
- 28[CHECKPOINT 5] In this final area, focus on avoiding the many devil monks.
- 29Run backward with your shotgun, avoiding the dropped staffs of defeated devil monks. Souls are no longer needed.
- 30Killing the last monsters causes the statue to explode, revealing the level exit. The statue's destruction counts as two objects.
- 31SECRET 3: With thirteen objects remaining, head back through the archway, past the altar room, and into the courtyard with stairs. Go up the stairs and around to the door where the flaming barrel came earlier. Destroy the two chests in this secret area.
- 32SECRET 4: Go back into the corridor and through the other upper door. Follow the corridor left and through the first door. In this fourth and last secret area are eight more chests.
- 33The corridor leads to a final room with a hole in the floor; find two chests in one half and the final chest in the other. [TAROT CONDITION: 114 OBJECTS DESTROYED]
- 34Head for the exit by jumping up the broken area at the back of the platform.
