Shadow Warrior 2 Mission Flow, Bosses and Mission drops.

For new players and as a reference.

For this guide all stories are called missions. The guide is for missions flow and the order in which to complete them though you can choose any order for some of the side missions if you wish, plus some tips.

If you try to skip side missions you will be warned you are under-levelled and do you wish to continue with the main mission.

Any weapon not listed in this guide like the Smith and Wesson pistol are world drops.

Tips

Suggest you purchase the One Trick Pony grenade launcher as soon as you can afford it from Larry’s store. You can basically shoot the enemy head on (aim waist high) without taking damage from the grenade launcher.

Ammo try to stock up after completing a mission in the same area at one of the shrines, it will save you money buying ammo.

Do free roam as you can get good items doing this, also to level up and get more skill points. Good area for this is the Cookery. Your best friend is the dash and health packs/regen.

Do apply upgrades to your weapons/shields etcetera with the gems regularly and take off the gems when you decide to use a different weapon as you may be able to apply them to another weapon.

Some of the weapons dropped by Bosses become available early in Larry’s store, an example is The Last Kiss Goodbye rocket launcher, so be careful in what you buy as you could be wasting money.

Rocket Launchers, when a mob is charging at you, aim at the ground just in front of them for spectacular results, as one would say dodge that. Some bosses will dodge them if you shoot directly at them, so watch out for that if you do not have auto aim.

If you cannot find a boss while on a mission, return after completing the mission and track it down with a couple of exceptions listed below.

The amount of orbs you obtain from certain bosses depends on the difficulty you select, number of orbs are 3/5/7/27.

Hope this guide assists you, unfortunately no pictures as there are other good guides with pictures if you need to look at them in respect to weapons, and I am lazy as this took long enough to compile.

May you Slash/shoot and loot and enjoy the action in this game.

Any other suggestions in regards to tips I will be happy to take on board.

Playthrough's and other

You can do do 4 playthroughs with the one character if you start on easy mode, then a further 7 on the insanity levels. Once you have completed a couple of playthroughs you can drop back to a lower level if your after the achievement for money and by farming for it.

Note you can start on any difficulty, suggest you skip easy and start on normal if your not confident with FPS games. There is not much difference between the the 2 difficulty levels.

After you have completed a playthrough by defeating the end boss and you have 100% completion, select new game and the character you want, normally the one you have just completed, this will take you to the next difficulty with all your weapons and gems you have collected.

This makes it a lot easier than starting from scratch.

On the second playthrough and other playthroughs the bounty board missions become available again with orbs and skill points as rewards after completing the mission Hot Blooded, also the same for the story and side missions instead of the weapons etc, assuming you already have them. If you do not have them all, they will also be available plus the orbs.

The bounty board missions will be given to you in stages, it is up to you when you want to do them.

Gems - Do not let them pile up in your inventory, every few missions put them in junk if you do not want them and mass sell them at one of the stores.

For achievements the hardest to get are the secrets and collecting 10,000 orbs.

There are guides in the forum also on youtube if you are after the secrets.

Collecting the orbs is just plain out grinding until you get them.

I use the guide myself as its easy to miss a boss, especially if you don't have a good memory on where the bosses are and rewards given.
