ZombiU Hardcore -- Tower of London

From the Safe House manhole, descend the stairs to the right and go out the door. If you didn't kill the spitter zombie before, do so now. Similarly, if you didn't kill the zombie sitting by the hole in the wall in the opposite corner of the courtyard, do so before you try and climb down into the hole or he'll grab you and at the very least scare the crap out of you.

After dropping through the hole in the wall, equip a flare, then move into the hallway and slowly turn to face into the darkness below. There are three living zombies down here. One is in the room at left, seemingly dead at the foot of a bed. Another is at the end of the hallway, and the last is two his right down that hall. The sneakiest way to kill all three with a single attack is to creep down the hall and approach the sleeping zombie until he wakes up and stands, then back up and chuck the flare to the end of the hall where the second zombie's shadow was. All three will descend on the flare and with a properly-timed thrown explosive all three will die there.

TIP: In the video, I instead entered the room where the sleeping zombie had been and slid under the wall, which is a safe haven if you need it -- it has only the one entrance and you can whack zombies as they come through.

Return to the first hallway where the second zombie's shadow was, turn right and go to the end of the hall, turn right again and move to the middle of the hall, and turn left and scan the CCTV junction. Retrace your steps to the end of the first hall, unlock the door, and continue down the hall.

Into Darkness

Continue down the hall and step into the room. Scan for items and then scan the wall at left to uncover a Raven passage. Travel down the passage and when you fall into water and stop right there -- half the battle of this very rotten level is to know what it is you're looking at before you go in. 

NOTE: The below bullets all start with three words describing where you are as you face forward from here. Attack them in the order listed.

  • Ahead of you is a tiny cage maze. There is one passage between you and a bombie directly on the other side. That bombie will sniff you out iummediately as you step forward into the hall, so you'll want to step slightly left so the third zombie (see below) doesn't hear and then shoot him while he's still on the other side of that cage passage to prevent damage. 
  • To your left is a hall with a waterfall in it with a dead-end corner at the end. Pass the corner wall and turn right and you'll see a gate wall and a zombie on the other side. This zombie will head to you in that corner when he sees you, so if you don't successfully kill him shooting through the cage wall, turn right and wait for him to come to you, then kill him with your back to the corner wall. 
  • To your right is another hallway that has a zombie in an alcove. He will not hear you if you kill the bombie as far away from him as you can and then head down the other hallway. Then you can come back and kill him last. Follow the wall leading out of his alcove and you'll find a weapon upgrade,

Go through the waterfall in the mini cage maze and scan the wall near where the second zombie was to open up another Raven passage -- a zombie is hiding in the water, so shoot him as he jumps up at you. Immediately a zombie up the stairs ahead will hear the shot and head down to you -- kill him, too.

Head upstairs and down the hall, turn left and approach and enter the hole next to the door -- then back up and out and use your bat to kill the zombie in that tunnel as he crawls out. Enter the tunnel and follow it around to enter the Ravens headquarters. 

Turn right and open the door. Scan the strange star symbol on the wall to find the Enochian alphabet and don't forget to pick up the the knight, the gun against the wall, and two documents lying on furniture. Lastly, move the chest of drawers against a column out of the way, scan the column wall for the code for the keypad on the exit door, and enter that code and go through the door to head up into the tower proper.

Climb the Tower

Climb the stairs but don't go forward into the pack of zombies approaching -- instead, turn right at the top of the stairs and then turn right again, then run to the other end of the courtyard and then turn around to watch as the Ravens lay waste to all zombies on the ground in front of you. 

When she says that's all she can help with, rush through the dead bodies and intercept the zombie that comes out of the door above you and jumps down to your level -- if you catch him when he lands you can shove him and just ZR smash him to kill him. Move forward from there and open the gate you couldn't get through earlier to make your life easier later.

Turn around and move towards the stairs leading up; loot as you can, then climb the stairs and approach the door the zombie opened earlier. Equip a weapon and enter the doorway; shoot the zombie down the hall and then go to the far end of the hall and turn left into the room beyond. As you look forward, there's a zombie on the other side of the wall in front of you. Look left and you'll see a door, approach that door and turn right and you'll see a bombie in a room at the end of the wall at left -- shoot him from there, then run around the desk, grab the ammo on it, and shoot the zombie coming at you from the other side of the wall from the door you came in. Enter the door beyond him, grab the ammo there, and then go into the staircase beyond, climb the stairs, and then drop into the stairwell.

Oh, Heck...

Equip a flare, rocket out of the stairs and toss the flare up past the spitter -- not too far past or you'll lose it. Follow it up with a molotov cocktail. You can then run back up the stairs and turn around to see if anyone comes to eat you and shoot them if they do.

Climb the stairs and then turn left; get onto the roof and kill two or three zombies or just throw a flare at the wall and let the Ravens kill them.

Watch the cutscene and kill the remaining two zombies who come at you on the rooftop, then follow the other exit off of the rooftop to open the door that leads back to the Safe House manhole.
