9. Chapter Routes
=================
This portion of the FAQ is divided into sections; at the end of
each section is a route decision following the paths you can take.
Follow your path to the corresponding section. Note these chapter
explanations are mostly for one-player games; two-player information is
included wherever possible. The strategies for the bosses and the
undead are placed after the chapter route section for easy reference.
The First Chapter: A Prelude
============================
Chapter Notes: This chapter is more or less straight forward with
only one real choice near the beginning. You must, however, rescue all
five innocents to get the life bonus at the end of the chapter. Many
first time players die somewhere near the middle and it is important
not to get discouraged. HOTD games take a few tries before you can
actually get somewhere.
SECTION 1A
You begin your adventure by driving in your car when you see a
purple demon flying in the air. You stop your car and get out and he
talks to you and flies away. You then see two zombies (3 in 2-player)
approach you, shoot these zombies (if you don't shoot them then why are
you playing?). There are four zombies in the background you can shoot
these for extra practice and points; they fall in 1-2 shots.
Afterwards, you walk into a church and two zombies (3 in 2-player)
come out as you open the door. Entering you then look toward the right
and down and see a dead innocent. Just then another zombie appears
behind a chair on the right. Shoot it and you then walk a little bit
and look down to the left and see another zombie. It gets up and walks
toward you, shoot it and another zombie from the right appears, kill it
and you walk forward and talk with G.
As he is giving you a book an ax-wielder and zombie (2 ax-wielders
in 2-player) punch through a glass window and run toward you, shoot
them and finish your talk with G. You walk through the broken window
and turn right to see an ax-wielder kill an innocent (there's nothing
you can do about this), kill it and you hear the dying words of the
innocent. There is also a zombie in the background for extra shooting
practice.
You turn back left and walk a little further, two jars are at the
left, one of which contains a coin. A female innocent then runs from
the left, she is being chased by a zombie. Kill the zombie to save the
innocent; this is your first choice. Note: Unlike most undead that
kill innocents, this one can be slowed down if you shoot it in the
legs.
If you save her go to SECTION 1B.
If you don't save her go to SECTION 1F.
SECTION 1B
After saving her, you turn left and see one zombie walking toward
an innocent, kill it to save him. Behind him are two crates, the right
one contains your first life-up for the game. If you kill the first
zombie two more appear from both sides of the innocent, kill them and
he tells you that you can go out the nearby exit.
If you save the innocent go to SECTION 1C.
If you don't save the innocent go to SECTION 1D.
SECTION 1C
After saving the innocent you jump down; in the background to the
right are two barrels, one contains a diamond. Just then you hear the
cries of another innocent crawling on the floor. He is being chased by
a zombie who kicks him unless you shoot it. This zombie one takes 1-2
shots to kill. Afterwards, you turn left and see an ax-wielder and
zombie approach; kill them and you walk forward and see a grate bust
open and maggots come out, shoot them and you see G's blood stains on
the floor.
Go to SECTION 1G.
SECTION 1D
You turn back to the first innocent and talk to her, after you
turn left you see three zombies breakdown a gate, shoot them and walk
into the next section.
Go to SECTION 1E.
SECTION 1E
You see three barrels to left that contain nothing. You turn
right and see four death frogs, shoot them and continue walking on your
path. Before you reach the wooden door, you swing left and see an ax-
wielder and zombie, shoot them and walk through the door. You then
walk out and see G's blood stains on the floor. A grate busts open and
maggots appear, shoot them. Looking back up you see barrels to the
left. The closest bottom barrel contains a diamond. At the same time
a chainsaw marauder appears from a door on the right, shoot him and
continue walking to the next section.
Go to SECTION 1G.
SECTION 1F
You turn left and see three zombies running toward you (notice the
dead innocent in the background) shoot them and you turn back right and
see three zombies bust through the gate, shoot them and you walk to the
next section.
Go to SECTION 1E.
SECTION 1G
You look up and see an ax-wielder throw an ax at you. Shoot the
ax and kill the ax-wielder (it walks away if you can't kill it).
After, you look to the right and two green revenants jump out, these
only take one shot to kill.
You then turn back left and two barrels are on the right, one
contains a coin. Just then a child innocent bursts from the doors from
the left followed by two ax-wielders (3 in 2-player). Shoot them and
you walk further, two clawed minions jump from underneath a panel on
the ground. Kill them and you walk a bit further seeing two zombies.
As you kill them a third zombie falls from above. After you kill them,
you look up and see two more zombies jump down, you can shoot them as
they fall. Behind all of this are two iron barrels and a large can to
the left. One of the barrels has a golden frog.
As you walk you look up and see a zombie with a barrel who is
about to throw it down at a female innocent. Shoot the barrel and kill
the zombie. The innocent falls down and lands on the dumpster. She
points to the right and another zombie comes forth. Kill the zombie
and the innocent gives you a life-up. After that, you walk to an open
space and fight the first chapter boss. Note: If you shoot the zombie
in the head it immediately dies falling forward and releasing the
barrel, but the barrel does not hit the innocent.
Go to BOSS 1.
The Second Chapter: Muddy
=========================
Chapter Notes: This chapter has many ways to travel to reach the
end. There are two versions of the boss which, in turn, take you to
different parts in the third chapter. This chapter is often the
stopper for many beginners. You must rescue at least five innocents
for the life bonus.
SECTION 2A
You walk along when you see a red car with a zombie on it, shoot
the zombie to save the first innocent. The car quickly swerves from
side to side and ends up driving off to the left; at this point it is
close enough to get a few good shots. It takes 1-6 shots to knock the
zombie off (head shot of course is only one). If you don't save him he
crashes into a building and dies.
If you save him go to SECTION 2B.
If you don't save him go to SECTION 2G.
SECTION 2B
The innocent opens the door of the car and thanks you; behind him
is a large can with a coin in it. You walk further and see a black van
to the left. Two zombies burst forth, shoot them and continue on your
way.
Walking up the stairs you see two zombies and an ax-wielder
getting up on a car to get you. As you walk up you can shoot at the
undead. Kill these enemies and you walk a bit further onto a small
street. From the top of the furthest building a bladed minion jumps on
the rooftops and comes down on you. Wait until he is high in the air
and before shooting. After you kill him, you walk a bit further and
two clawed minions jump from a window at the left. Kill them and you
continue on your way.
You turn right and two wooden barrels are on the right, one
contains a coin. At the same time two owls (4 in 2-player) fly down.
Kill them and you see two zombies trying to get at an innocent (you
can't see him). Shoot them and at the left near the back are two
wooden crates, one contains a diamond.
Just then an innocent falls from above; you look up and see an ax-
wielder throw an ax. Shoot the ax first before killing him as he
throws it very fast. You then continue walking and turn left and walk
down some stairs, an owl (2 in 2-player) comes out. Shoot it and you
turn right and see two bladed minions fall from the sky. Kill them,
near the back and to the right are two jars, the closer one has a
golden frog.
At this point you see a dead innocent with a key; shooting it
chooses your path.
If you shoot the key go to SECTION 2C.
If you don't shoot the key go to SECTION 2I.
SECTION 2C
Shooting the key, you walk through the gate and see two jars in
front which contain nothing. You turn right and see a ghoul with a
barrel, kill it and you see a child innocent being chased by another
ghoul running from a building at the right. A head shot is best for
this part as it takes to many hits to kill the ghoul before it kills
the kid.
If you save the child go to SECTION 2D.
If you don't save the child go to SECTION 2K.
SECTION 2D
Saving the child you enter the building and see two wraiths (3 in
2-player) kill them and you then hear the cries of the father innocent
and walk toward a locked door. The lock only requires ONE SHOT to
open. If you are in 2-player mode it is best to let only one player
shoot the lock. Once you shoot the lock, the door flies open and you
see an innocent followed by a wraith that is about to kill him. The
wraith is to the right of the innocent. A head shot is also best for
this part, fortunately it is not to difficult to do because the wraith
is very close to you and is a big target. Saving the innocent AFTER
the lock is open does not matter in choosing your path.
If you shoot open the lock go to SECTION 2E.
If you don't shoot open the lock go to SECTION 2M.
SECTION 2E
Opening the lock you watch the television seeing the second
chapter boss. You then walk forward into the open room and see one
maggot on the table and three maggots hidden underneath the rug. Shoot
the hidden maggots first. After, you turn toward the door and begin to
walk out. Just then two ghasts (4 in 2-player) come out of a
ventilation duct and fall to the ground, kill them and continue on your
way.
Go to SECTION 2F.
SECTION 2F
You turn right and see two wooden crates and a barrel. One wooden
crate has a health (you must shot both crates to get the health though)
and the wooden barrel has a coin. You then hear the cries of another
innocent. You turn right and see a zombie on the left near the
innocent and a ghoul on the right ready to attack you. In this part I
strongly recommend head shots for both. If you want to save the
innocent kill the zombie first and then the ghoul.
After you turn back you have one more chance to get the health and
the coin. You turn left and walk along for a bit. Turning right you
see two revenants and a ghoul on a boat coming toward you. You can
shoot them before they land to attack you. To the right are two
zombies for shooting practice. Kill the undead and you walk and turn
right.
In the distance you see an innocent being chased by an ax-wielder.
This requires accuracy in order to save the innocent. You can get a
head shot but this is difficult because of the axes and the great
distance. However, your best chance to kill the ax-wielder is when he
raises his ax to kill the innocent. At the point he drops his guard
and is open, but doing this is risky. This still requires good aim to
save the innocent. You can also aim for the right elbow of the ax-
wielder, since it sticks out the most on the undead's body, to do some
damage.
Whether you save the innocent or not a chainsaw marauder (2 in 2-
player) suddenly busts through a door in front of you. If you saved
the innocent he tells you about Sunset Bridge and gives you a life-up.
Go to SECTION 2L.
SECTION 2G
You walk toward the car wreck and look at the driver innocent's
corpse. Just then you hear a scream and turn left to see two wraiths
about to attack a female innocent. Kill the wraith on the right first.
To her right is a crate with a diamond. Kill both to save her and she
tells you that there are more people inside.
You open the door and walk through seeing two wraiths. After you
kill these, two clawed minions jump out. Once you are done killing
them, you walk forward and see three barrels at the end of the hall,
one has a coin. You then look down and to the right at a dead
twitching innocent. Suddenly, you swing around and see a chainsaw
marauder charge at you.
After you kill it, you do a 180 and continue down the hall. Going
around the corner you see a zombie on the left, running toward you, and
an ax-wielder on the right throw an ax at the same time. Shoot the ax,
then the zombie, and finish off the ax-wielder. You can shoot at both
of them as you turn around the corner before they attack.
You see an open room at the left and turn to face into it. Near
the center (slightly to the left) you see a crying female innocent. At
the same time a wraith (2 in 2-player) appears from the right, shoot it
and you talk to the innocent. You then watch the television and see
the second chapter boss dancing. You then leave the building out the
door.
In a small alley like place an ax-wielder bursts through a door.
Once you kill it you turn left and see a bladed minion jump on the
rooftops and fly toward you. Wait until it is high in the air before
shooting it. You then walk a bit further and see a zombie (2 in 2-
player) come forth from the right. As you shoot this zombie another
zombie comes out close to you. Shoot the closer zombie because he
attacks you very quickly (for a zombie).
Once you are done with this, you walk a bit further and see three
wooden crates in the background toward the left, one contains a golden
frog. As you are going, maggots squirm out into the center of the
screen. Kill them and you hear the cries of an innocent. You walk
forward to a small door with the word "wharf" and see an innocent
thrown out to your left. When you look back right you see a ghoul
charging at you (head shot is recommended).
Once the ghoul is finished, you turn right and see two owls (4 in
2-player), kill these quickly as they hit soon after. You then walk a
bit more and see a bladed minion (2 in 2-player) fall from above kill
it and you turn right.
As you turn right you see a ghoul on the right and a zombie on the
left; both are about to kill a grandpa and grandma innocent,
respectively. This part is very difficult to do in single-player. You
must score a head shot on the ghoul first and quickly finish off the
zombie with either a head shot or shots to the back. Killing the ghoul
quickly with a head shot is your best chance, if you don't at best you
will only save one innocent. You can start shooting at them as soon as
you begin turning toward the right.
Once you are done with this, you continue walking and see a female
innocent behind a gate with two wraiths by her side. Kill the wraith
on the left first then the right one. Be careful not to kill the
innocent.
If you save her go to SECTION 2H.
If you don't save her go to SECTION 2J.
SECTION 2H
Saving the female innocent you shoot open the gate and enter the
clock tower. There are several barrels to shoot for practice here.
You walk to the other side of the room and see another stack of barrels
which you can't shoot. From these a ghoul comes forth charging shoot
him and walk through the door.
You then pass through a small hallway and come to another door.
Three ghasts punch through the bottom portion. Kill them and you go
through the door. You then look left and see nothing and look right
and see three wraiths walking toward you. After you kill them you turn
back left and see a chainsaw marauder (head shot is best for this part)
in close range. You look right and see two clawed minions jump out of
some crates. The rest of the crates in the background cannot be shot.
Once you kill these you come to a bookcase that can be shot on the
left.
If you shoot the bookcase go to SECTION 2N.
If you don't shoot the bookcase go to SECTION 2O.
SECTION 2I
You turn left and look up at a giant clock face with two clawed
minions that fall on you. You must score a couple of hits one each or
they hit you. After you finish them off, you enter the clock tower.
To your left you see five wraiths kill them and you look down and see
zombies (can't shoot them). You then decide to take the high road.
Looking to the right you see a large group of putrid slugs hanging on a
clock gear.
Once you are done, you walk up stairs and suddenly turn left at
the sound of an innocent. He is about to be slashed by an ax-wielder;
a head shot is recommended. After, you continue walking and turn left
seeing a chainsaw marauder. Kill it and you go down the ladder and see
a female innocent and a wraith. After this you exit the building.
Go to SECTION 2J.
SECTION 2J
You turn right and see three revenants come from the river; to the
center are three barrels that contain nothing. In the background are
three zombies for shooting practice. Afterwards, you walk a bit
further and see three more revenants come out and behind them are three
more barrels one contains a coin. Once you kill everything you take a
few steps and a zombie suddenly comes out from the left.
After you kill it you turn right and see a large can that contains
nothing and a set of doors. From these doors an innocent comes out;
she is being chased by an ax-wielder. You can shoot through the doors
to help you kill it. After you kill the ax-wielder, two revenants will
jump out from the left; these only take 1-3 shots to kill. If you
rescue the innocent she gives you a life-up.
You then get pulled by two revenants into the river where they
immediately attack you. After you kill them three piranhas attack you;
there are three zombies in the background for shooting practice. After
that, you walk and turn left and suddenly see an ax-wielder in front of
you. Once you kill it two zombies will jump from a nearby boat into
the water. Kill these and you walk forward under a bridge on the top
are two zombies for shooting practice.
You then see an innocent on a boat coming from the right. He is
about to be killed by a revenant. A head shot it best for this part as
the revenant takes a good amount of hits to kill. Be careful you can
shot through the boat and accidentally kill the innocent. You then
begin to walk toward a ladder to climb out; as you walk another
revenant jumps out of the water in front of you. Kill it and you climb
out of the river.
As you climb out you turn right and see a chainsaw marauder dash
out, a head shot is best. There are two large cans around the undead,
one on the left and one behind it, both contain nothing. You then see
Amy and Harry but before reaching them a zombie appears from the right,
kill it and you then fight the boss.
