Detailed walkthrough for Painkiller Part 20, covering the Prison and Opera House levels. Includes strategies, secrets, and item locations to help you succeed.
- 1In the Prison, push the blue box under the vent, quick-jump up, and enter the vent. Head right to find a relic in a secret area.
- 2Continue through the vents and drop through the ceiling hole, or take the door.
- 3Clear the room of 2-3 monsters, collect ammo, and shoot the gas canister.
- 4As you enter the dining room, angels and bikers will spawn. You can either hide in the kitchen or run to the far corner, up the stairs, along the walkway (killing bikers), and grab armor and ammo. Use the upper walkway to shotgun enemies.
- 5After the first wave, more enemies will spawn from the lower door. Clear them, pick up ammo, shoot barrels for gold, and hit Checkpoint 1.
- 6Do not grab the shotgun yet. Go up the stairs to the right, clear monsters, get health and ammo. Let bikers and angels come up. Shoot the turret from the window with a stake. Kill the biker trapped behind bars. Hit Checkpoint 2.
- 7Clear the upper corridors before engaging the main room. Be cautious of gas canisters at the end of each corridor. Shoot barrels on the lower floor from upper windows for chain explosions.
- 8SECRET 2: Drop through the manhole to find freezer ammo and two angels.
- 9Return up the ladder, kill remaining angels and bikers, and hit Checkpoint 3.
- 10This is a difficult section. Stick to the lower cells initially. Use the shotgun to kill enemies and collect souls. Pick up health at the far end. Find shotgun ammo upstairs and an imprisoned holy item in a top cell (will be open later). Note the tunnel in progress in the top right cell.
- 11V1.6 CONTRIBUTION: To access a relic early, move a barrel in an adjacent cell next to the locked door, then shoot the barrel to open the door.
- 12You may hit Demon Morph mode. Use it to kill monsters inside the prison and through windows. Use the stakegun on remaining enemies and shoot the two gun turrets to the left before dropping through the windows.
- 13Find armor at the back corner, fighting through bikers and barrels. Go through the door that opens in the prison wall, turn right, go up the stairs, and hit Checkpoint 4.
- 14Turn left and clear out bikers, then proceed to the torture chamber. Wipe out all enemies, then return until all monsters are dead and Checkpoint 5 appears.
- 15Enter the two open rooms for health and ammo. Note the currently locked room.
- 16Shoot enemies at the bottom of the stairs, then clear the two viewing galleries, watching for the turret in the second gallery.
- 17Go through the door and shotgun the remaining angels. Hit the lever on the wall at the checkpoint to open the exit.
- 18SECRETS 3 & 4: Return upstairs to collect a holy item from the previously locked room and another from the upper cell that is now open.
- 19Head back to the electric chair to exit the level.
