Tips for the After Party Levels Below

Note: you don't need to use Darious ever again after the main game. His portrait doesn't pop up after completing a level anyway.

Swat Casino Party: This stage is brutal with all characters except for the Ninja which still takes patience.
- I will refer to the biker in the white hat that never stops dancing as Biker Boss!
This guy would dance through the apocalypse.

1. You get two luck based ways to move the Biker Boss. First is an exploit kill, sometimes one of the partiers will walk up against the wall on the far right. Close enough, that if you go from the Dumpster Alley, you can knife them through the wall. Seeing the body will make the Biker Boss STOP DANCING!!! and phone it in. After this he's just another man!
The other isn't all that lucky as it only saves you a few extra swat guys to get through. Basically if he's dancing in the top or the middle of that room, and you're taking out the swat guys from the Dance Floor side he may see one of them and phone it in. Hopefully, as he did for me, he'll go to the Kitchen side phones right into your waiting open arms.

2. This is really the bread and butter of this level: Swat and Bouncers have a cooldown after chasing you in which they won't try to attack you for a few seconds. Learn this cooldown, and use it! for Bouncers this goes further: They only do their jobs when they're standing still. Once they're walking they're just another Partier.

3. Blind Spots. You can get both Bouncers and Swat from behind if you don't get within their line of sight. Just don't be surprised if sometimes they still trigger. This one doesn't have my full confidence, but I did use it to take out the bottom right swat groups, 3-4 front members from behind.

My Strategy with most characters: Thin out the waiters and bouncers in the kitchen, and the Dumpster alley, I go back and forth between these area's via the Main Stage with the band.
In the Kitchen you can stand just to the right of the bottom door leading into the kitchen (directly above the gumball machine), and kill people coming in without them seeing that it was you. If you have your timing down, you can even do this with waiters in the kitchen, and just taking out the ones with a phone over their head so they can't even report that it was you. On a good run, you'll be half done the map in just a few seconds. If there are Bouncers waiting in the kitchen, it'll slow you down as you'll have to bait them and run to encourage them to not guard those areas.
Use interactables if you can, but save the kitchen ones for police if you're not confident. The Key is really to pick your targets of opportunity, always use corners and distance. And if there are two people walking, take out the one in the back first so the one in the front doesn't see.
you can sometimes get the band to break up if you dance, if there are dancing girls on the stage, leave them for after the band as they apparently dance with their eyes closed and don't notice most things.
Don't Get Run Over, It happens more often than you think.
If you get spotted and the police is chasing you. Make them really run for you, you'll usually get one "screw this I'm too old for this!" give up. Never 2 (atleast I haven't).
After a few minutes you should be down to just the swat + Biker Boss. Entirely Leave the swat group on the bottom left. You will now mostly work from the Party Dance Floor, and Run towards the Kitchen side Phone when the swat are chasing you.

With the Butcher you want to use your Chainsaw skill to take them out in clusters so you don't have to run away from them, as he's the slowest character. Also if you can get any through a wall, you should atleast try. I'd Practice with the chainsaw skill at the start of the level on the bottom left swat to see how many you can take out, how far you can run away from them after they trigger, learn your safety and strengths. You don't want to get to just swat+biker remaining without learning what you can and can't do against them with the Butcher.

With every other character you can outrun them. So just go barely close enough to trigger them, run away and find their max range. you can then sprint after them on their return trip and if you catch up, take out one. And another 1-2 when they've gotten back to their positions. After 1 or 2, immediately start running away again as their cooldown will be over and they'll chase you again. Practice and you'll get this down to a science. Finally with every character except the policeman you can plan the bomb on the dance floor, then trigger them into walking over it as it goes off. Some will fall asleep making easy targets, some will get taken out if they're close enough. This strategy is key for TazerFace as he's on the clock so you need to take people out in clusters when you can. With the Police officer you're stuck baiting them out then taking out a few during that window of opportunity.
With the Vampire hunter you may get lucky and after a few swat members, Biker Boss will notice a body and become angry.

Note: The Swat don't phone anything in. So don't worry about that!

After Party - Boat Party
This stage is almost impossible with the Vampire Hunter.

-With any character you want to exploit the rising water level, so go ahead and set off all the interactables followed immediately by using the phone. This is true even with the Vampire Hunter. Get some kills as fast as you can. I don't know the exact trigger but I think it may be kills. Get Rid of the Bouncer as fast as you can as they can mess up a good run.
-If the water doesn't start to rise, you'll probably fail the 3minute mark.
-Use the smoke to your advantage to take out as many people secretly as you can. There's smoke often at the front (right) and coming from the upper deck's top left.
-Control the phones, once the water level has risen twice they can only go to one phone, they may attempt the other but immediately die trying to go down the stairs through the water.
-Take out the smaller groups first. Look for Opportunities.


-With the Vampire Hunter, I got very lucky. I triggered all the traps followed by the phone. This took out enough people, and the ship started to smoke, I Ignore the people that are at the back of the boat as that goes under water. Most of the ship wasn't angry right away as the poison punch takes a while to work, I mostly stayed in the smoke at the front of the ship, taking out any Partiers that had a blind indicator. After a short while many of the partiers should succumb to the punch, and the exterminator smoke, while the remainder will become angry after seeing the bodies. I got lucky and some wondered into the rising water. By the 1 minute remaining mark I only had 2-3 mobs left. I only had to use Holy Water on the partiers I took out in the smoke, and the last few that I had to run after (careful you don't get pounced). You can also bypass the Holy Water by throwing them to the sharks but that becomes unavailable after the Water level rises twice. The key here is to do everything you can to avoid using holy water, as it takes time. You can try to use positioning on the upperer most deck, right above the stairs, you can slash people coming up the stairs without putting yourself at risk. But I'd only do this after the water level is rising and after the exterminator smoke, you may get caught using holy water and die. Your Dog is not 100% reliable to protect you.

After Party - Party Bus with Vampire Hunter.
This seems Impossible. But you can get lucky and pull it off.
I just walked to either the left or the right side of the bus at the very start and started slashing, with my back to a wall. I failed a couple dozen times. What I learned is that you need to find proper positioning, and timing. If you swing too rapidly, sometimes you'll swing before a mob is in range, and they'll pounce on you between swings.
Other times, you won't be lucky, and the mobs will be spaced in such a way that they'll get through your swings.
I did this a while back so I unfortunately don't recall if I holy watered only after everything was down, or half-way through. I want to say I got a lucky holy water in without dieing at the cost of my dog. And then finished the rest off, as that's what I recall. But I may have gotten all the enemies triggered in rapid succession and just holy watered them in one-two groups at the end.
