Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell | C6L1 Orphanage - Ordeal Difficulty

I hate Battle Out of Hell. I don't understand why people think it's a good expansion, its level design ranges from mediocre to downright atrocious, it introduces mechanics which are in conflict with the core gameplay and has some of the worst enemy design I've ever seen. It's unfun, frustrating and tedious. They didn't even get Mech to record more tracks, so instead of cool metal music we have a bunch of generic, pseudo-electronic fartbeats, probably made by some middle-aged bald guy on pirated Windows 98, after he finished a 12 hour shift at the cement factory.

The expansion starts out strong however, as The Orphanage is probably the best level in here. It oozes with atmosphere and has some decent gameplay to go with it. The music is also not garbage. The enemies here are a bunch of resurrected, demonic children. There are some environmental details suggesting that those kids were tortured before their death, their screams echoing through misty marches, unheard by anyone, their suffering uninterrupted. Brutal stuff, this new """Painkiller""" reboot looks like a PG+3 game in comparison.

We also acquire the first out of two new weapons: The Rifle. It's completely busted, its primary fire shoots 5 bullets in a burst with 100% accuracy, it has the highest DPS out of any weapon in the game (besides Painkiller spam of course), the secondary fire is a flamethrower, which can get rid of large groups of enemies very quickly. The flame sticks to surfaces for a bit, and all enemies which end up in contact with it get burned. The burn effect lasts for a long time, enough to kill most enemy types. On normal difficulties this weapon is OP, on Ordeal its a godsend and a saviour in many moments.

Ordeal spices up two fights by adding Psychonuns. It's not much, but it ramps up the challenge a bit, they are fast moving enemies and it's easy to get surrounded. There's also an additional encounter at the end, in which I discover that the flamethrower doesn't work on Bones.

There's also one secret exclusive to Ordeal difficulty which I didn't get, it allows us to skip a few fights and go straight to the final area, which I did not want to do. You can see how to get this secret in this video:

The Flying Nun at the end can only be killed with the flamethrower, and only by a flame sitting on a wall or a floor. Of course nothing in the game explains how it works, get used to that.
