Rumble Walkthrough: The Gremlin's Domain (HIP2M6) Video Walkthrough (All Secrets)

The level begins with a Double-barrelled Shotgun and some ammo around you, grab it all and continue down the stairs. Secret #1 is found in this large room, grab this and defeat all the monsters around you. In the next room you'll need to hit the button on the far wall to open a gate so you can continue. You'll also find a Grenade Launcher in front of this button.

Continue down the various hallways until you find the Super Nailgun and another dead end. Hit the button in this room and grab Secret #2 since it's also in this area. Return whence you came and go through the new opening and down the stairs into the sewer like area. Press the button you find down here to make the elevator go down. One hallway looks like a cathedral church with tons of stained glass - ignore this hallway for right now because we need the Silver Key for it.

Instead you'll want to go down the stairs and to the area with the sewer textures. You'll run into an electricity trap as you climb the stairs, my advice is to use a quick save. This trap does a lot of damage and it's in a really bad area when you have little armor and health. To make matters worse, on the other side of the trap you'll have to deal with a group of enemies.

Sometimes the enemies will get stuck on the platform in the next area and not come down to attack you but that isn't something you should depend on. You'll find Secret #3 in the same area as the Rocket Launcher and Wetsuit, grab both of these and go through the under water tunnels.

You'll find the Silver Key in the next room, grab this and Secret #4. Now that we have the Silver Key it's time to return to that hallway with stained glass that looked like a church. You'll find Secret #5 just across from this door, grab it then return to the door and head through.

There will be a short outside area after which you'll need to swim through some under water passages to get to a large underground chamber. You'll have a tough battle in here, after which you can grab the Gold Key. Prepare for a Shambler to say hello, defeat it then exit this area. Our next destination is the wood door shown below, this is actually the Gold Key Door.

This door is the Gold Key Door

Go through the Gold Key Door and you will find a bunch of enemies, Secret #6 and the exit. In order to remove the bars that block the exit you will need to press the button outside that's across from the stairs.

 

 

Secret #1

Secret #1: Our first secret is found in the first large room that you come across. You'll find an Ogre shooting at you from a cage on the left, if you shoot the wall below that cage and to the right you'll reveal an elevator. Ride the elevator up to reach the caged in area with the Ogre and to collect your reward.

 

Secret #2

Secret #2: At the start of the mission follow the linear path to a dead end, you'll have to press a button in this room on the wall to advance. If you look up into the hallway you came from you'll see a button that you can shoot (pictured below). Shoot that button then go into a previous room and shoot the newly revealed button on the ceiling. This will give you access to a balcony above which has a Thunderbolt on it.

  

 

Secret #3

Secret #3: Immediately after the electricity trap in the sewers you will find a Wetsuit and a Rocket Launcher, grab both and shoot the button above the opening to the next area. Jump into the water and start swimming, just before the next large room with the Silver Key you'll find an area you can surface. Pop up for some air and grab the Quad Damage for this secret.

  

 

Secret #4

Secret #4: The room that contains the Silver Key will have another secret for you; shoot in the middle of the square outline on the wall. Doing this will open a long tunnel for you which will lead you back to the first dead end of this mission where you saw Mjolnir but were unable to grab it.

 

Secret #5

Secret #5: Directly across from the Silver Key Door you'll find a mural - shoot it and it will uncover a teleporter, jump in to claim this secret. Be prepared for a fight against a Death Knight if you didn't take him out earlier.

 

Secret #6

Secret #6: Go through the Gold Key Door and you will come to the room shown in the picture below. Shoot the face on the wall to reveal a Ring of Shadows which is the reward for this secret.
