"When you start the mission, you will notice that it resembles the beginning of Home Sweet Home. This impression will not last. Grab the ammo in the downstairs closet. There is a Gill Beast right outside the front door, so have your Shotgun ready. Behind the house, there are 3 Cultists guarding a Black Chest. Collect it and return to the front of the house, where you will notice that the environment has opened up. You will see some slanted platforms leading to a doorway you will want to cross through. The Fire Armor sitting on the platform far away is deceptively difficult to reach without falling to your death, so only go for it if you are a jumping expert! Through the door there are 2 Zombies. This is Firebelly room, followed on the left by the Jigsaw room. Make sure you go into the Rat holding cell inside the Jigsaw room to take the Doctor's Bag. There are Hell Hounds just one the other side of this wall, so do not try to jump through the opening (although you can throw some explosives). Proceed to the Furnace room with the blood-filled boiler/furnace. Wipe out the enemies - you will be returning here. Note the Moon Door in this room - you can come back here later for a Super Secret. Head outside and go through the window to the apartment bedroom. The closet has some items but grabbing them will summon a Phantasm near the bathroom. Go in the bathroom and head through the hole in the wall beside the bathtub. Note the translucent Gill Beast specter. Grab the Skull Key ahead and return to the Firebelly room. Open the Skull Door and jump over the white flames to summon some Gill Beasts outside the room. Lead one through the Jigsaw room, through the gallery, and back to the translucent specter to open the wooden gate next to it. Carefully hop from one platform to the next until you make you way onto the floating vessel. There is a Life Essence sitting alone on a platform off to the side, but it is much easier to reach that platform than to escape it without falling to your doom. Enter the vessel's rear entryway. When you go out the front entrance of the vessel you will be fired on by several Fanatics. Beyond them lies a twisted chunk of Paradise room. To the left you will see find some Flares next to the Eye Door. Head into the hall where the Gill Beasts were gathered, go up the stairs, and turn right. You will see a large, dark room. Once you step down into the room turn right for the Voodoo Doll, then advance toward the floating stack of ghosts. When you get close they will disappear and release 2 Stone Gargoyles and some Acolytes behind you. When the Stone Gargoyles are dead, a door at the far end of the room (near where the ghosts were) will open, revealing the Eye Key. Grab it and head back to the Eye Door inside the Paradise room. Follow the invisible walkway and you will end up back in the area where you just defeated the Stone Gargoyles, only now a new area directly across from you will be open. There is a small troop of varied Cultists who will begin their assault, so ready your long-range weapon of choice. You will find that this new area is like the rear castle entrance. When you approach the floating demon in the distance it will transform into many Gargoyles and Zealots. Inside the castle you will see a white ghost of Caleb. When you get close it will transform into a swarm of Tiny Calebs, so you may want to chuck a dynamite bundle at it. Go left into the cave. Move forward until you reach a giant face in the darkness which will carry you to the next mission."Bloatoid's Guide

Fun Stuff[edit]

  • Note that there is so many links to the two previous episode, that's because what the level is and some familiar area may help you find the secret more easily.
  • The level also contain the spaceship from DWE2M2: Out to Launch, but instead of what it used to be before, it is now unreachable and the designer said that it is there to make the level beautiful.
