Dark Carnival Overview

Stage 1: Highway

Traffic chaos turns into overpass bloodletting as you fight through a freeway to scout an abandoned motel. Soon you’re fleeing down a ravine and then struggling up a final embankment toward an eerie carnival park.

Stage 2: Fairground

There’s none of the usual fun of the fair waiting for you here: The barker huts are closed but the weird carnival games are functional, despite the Infected. Your enjoyment stems from mass culling through Kiddieland, the big slide, and carnage at the carousel.

Stage 3: Coaster

A lot of love is lost as you battle your way through a purple tunnel of terror, emerging outside to flee from overwhelming odds, and then onto The Screaming Oak, a rickety wooden coaster you scramble across on foot.

Stage 4: Barns

You emerge into more barker huts, some featuring the still-functioning baritone of Mr. Moustachio. Grind the bones of the Infected at the bumper cars, then scale the barns as you slaughter your way to the stadium entrance.

Stage 5: Concert

The Midnight Riders may have cancelled this gig a while ago, but their awesome pyrotechnics remain. Set off the fireworks, which unfortunately summons the Horde. Let’s hope a rescue helicopter notices your spectacular predicament.
