The bureaucracy is about identical. Players baddest from one of four classes: warrior, mage, advance and archer. The antecedent stages of the bold abode you as nameless archetypes, but you can consistently jump advanced a bit and get the adventitious to play as characters like Aragorn, Gandalf, Saruman and Eowyn a part of others. Each appearance has a advanced ambit of affray and ranged attacks, some getting stronger than others depending on their abject class. We played through four levels absolute (Minas Tirth, Isengard, Moria and Black Gates) and they're all pulled beeline out of the films. But that's all advice that we've covered before, what I'm traveling over today is how the bold plays appropriate now at this point in development.
As with any class-based game, your success is bent by how able-bodied you advance your character's specialties. Archers charge to break abroad from the affray and barrage their fire-infused arrows and multi-arrow shots into as abounding enemies as possible. The aforementioned goes for the Mage which is added of a abutment character. They can alleviate combatants as able-bodied as allotment out some absorbing ranged attacks, authoritative the mage an ideal run-in-and-get-out blazon of character. The warrior is the animal and is abundant for active and in assertive with swords that can be absorbed with admiral that depend on whether you're a appearance from the cine or a no-name.
The starting point has assault rifles, auto shotguns, and hunting rifles. (This safe house consists of two levels. Climb up the ladder to reach the upper level in the attic.) From the attic window, step out onto the scaffolding, and climb down the ladders on either side, or carefully drop down onto the ground. Cut through the break in the stone fence to get onto the street.
The town is a fairly large area. To find the correct route, after leaving the church via the hole in the fence, turn left and move down along the same street. Jump over any barriers in the way.
Go through the open doorway into a florist's shop. (This building is under construction and has rooms with incomplete walls.)
Continue further along the streets outside, until coming to a small parking lot.
Jump on top of a white van to reach an upper walkway. Enter the open doorway at the balcony, move through the building, and drop down to a street. Watch out for a possible tank here.
Time for a defense point, in the middle of the street. There is a minigun in front of the theater, and there are weapons and ammo on a table further back along the street. Activate the switch in the forklift (in front of the minigun) to make it lower and cause a structure to collapse, forming a ramp. The survivors can use it to climb past the rubble blocking the middle of the street. Unlike with the usual defense points, the ramp will be formed quickly enough so the survivors can immediately proceed onward as the incoming waves of infected come. They can stick around and use the minigun if they prefer instead, but if they do so, they should beware of any smokers and other infected who may sneak up behind them.
At the end of the street, where a barricade cuts off the road, turn left into the alleyways. Look for some stairs, near a fence with barbed wire, that lead up to a second floor room. Go through the windows, across a plank bridge, through another room and section of rooftop, and then drop down past the fence seen earlier. The safe house is the storage room toward the end of these alleyways.
The starting point has submachineguns and pump shotguns. Follow the tracks all the way across the train yard, until reaching a long building. (The tower and other buildings here may hold spare items, but visiting them isn't necessary.) Watch out for a possible tank here. Climb onto the second floor of the long building, step on top of the train cars lying through the fence, and drop down to the street at the other side.
Keep following the street, until seeing a house near a crashed truck. Go through the house. There may be ammo or weapons inside the living room, near the TV set. At the other side, continue down the road. Enter the cemetery, and get into the church.
Time for a defense point, inside the church. The safe house is the storage room at the church, but the wussy inside it is a prick, and he refuses to help the survivors. First, get ready by looking for weapons and ammo in a side room elsewhere in the church. When ready, talk to the prick inside the safe house to make him ring the bell, and then battle the incoming waves of infected. At the end, the prick will get slaughtered and turn into a boss infected. Open the door and blow him away, and then get into the safe house.
The starting point has submachineguns and pump shotguns. Open the door on the upper walkway, and get out into an octagonal chamber. Turn right, and enter either of the two pipes that lead onward, to the upper walkways of the next octagonal chamber.
In the second octagonal chamber, seek the ladder through the walkways that goes down to the bottom. There may be weapons or ammo on the tables across from the bottom of this ladder.
Drop down into the muck at the bottom, and go into the tunnel ahead. Watch out for a possible tank here. This tunnel connects to a square-shaped chamber.
Time for a defense point, at the two-level square-shaped chamber. Climb the ladders up to the upper level. At one corner, activate the switch to begin lowering the floodgates, whose tops will form a bridge across to the other side of the upper walkways. Fight off the incoming waves of infected. When the floodgates are completely lowered, run across them to reach the next tunnel.
Proceed through the passageways, and climb up a fallen set of stairs like a ladder.
Go out through the windows to an exterior area, to a back lot. Enter the train shed. The safe house is the train car on the upper levels of this train shed.
The starting point, on a highway through the woods, has submachineguns and pump shotguns. Grab the weapons and other supplies, and get ready to go.
Head down the road. At the head of the broken bridge, look for a slope to the right that leads down to the gulch. Cross the gulch at the bottom, and climb the ladders leading back up to the other end of the busted bridge. Enter the tunnel.
Inside the tunnel, step past or leap over the car wrecks in the way. The tunnel will eventually be blocked off by a barricade. From there, turn left into an illuminated corridor, through the open doorway. Climb down the stairs, and reach a large underground room with two levels. There may be ammo or weapons on a table on the lower level here. To go onward, look for a flight of stairs on the upper level that leads outside.
Outside in some woods, work around the fence, and follow the trail leading up the hill. The safe house is the maintenance room of the building standing on this hill.
The starting point has assault rifles, auto shotguns, and hunting rifles. Upon opening the door, turn right, and go all the way down the corridor. Head up the stairwell, until some blockage requires the survivors to take a detour into the second floor.
On the second floor, there are multiple corridors that lead into the large main hall. Watch out for a possible tank here. At the main hall, go up the stairs to the third floor. Move through the next corridor, and enter the same stairwell, this time past the blockage seen earlier. Proceed through the nurse center and the ICU, toward the elevator.
Time for a defense point, at the elevator door. There may be ammo on the gurney here. Activate the switch to call down the elevator. While waiting for it to arrive, slay the incoming waves of infected. The walls to the left and right of the elevator door will be broken open by the infected, but the survivors can still put their backs to the corners to avoid being caught on every single side. When the elevator door opens, make sure all the survivors are inside, and then activate the button panel to close the doors and ride up to the 28th floor.
The 28th floor is still under construction, so the survivors can shoot through the incomplete walls to get at the infected. Follow the outer edges of the floor, taking care not to fall off the exposed ledges. Eventually, the survivors will need to turn toward the middle of the floor. The safe house is a storage room somewhere in the middle of this floor.
The starting point has submachineguns and pump shotguns. The alleyways outside loop together a bit. For the quickest route, after leaving the starting point, turn left, and enter a kitchen area of a restaurant. Outside at the loading area, find the long lift platform.
Time for a defense point, at the lift. Try to make sure every survivor climbs onto the lift, and then activate the switch to begin raising it. Mow down the incoming waves of infected, who will approach from the ground below and over the rooftops. (If any survivors fall off, they can climb the ladder at the outer end of the lift to catch up.) From the lift, climb through the large window over a large pipe.
The large window leads into a storeroom. Drop down through a hole in the floor, into an office room. There is a red cabinet here, and there may be ammo on the desk. In the corridors outside, seek the stairs that lead down. Go through a large and darkly lit warehouse, to the open doorway at the other side. Watch out for a possible tank here.
Continue through several narrow corridors, through a treatment tank room (with lots of large white tanks). At the other end of this room, open the manhole if it isn't already.
Drop down into the sewers. Follow the illuminated areas to continue forward, and go through a side doorway. Proceed through a shutter into the narrow canals, into another section of the sewers. Watch out for a possible tank here.
Climb up the long red ladder, emerging on the street corner in front of the hospital's emergency entrance. The safe house is the break room behind the counter at the reception area.
