The Barns

The Barns is the fourth chapter in Dark Carnival.

Campaign
The Survivors must pass through Whispering Oaks' exhibition barns and livestock pens to get to the next safe house, located inside the stadium. Before that, they must activate the gates, which causes a crescendo event holding out near the entrance. Then when the gates open, they must run for the safe room through more hordes of Infected.

In this chapter, The Survivors can win the two Moustachio achievements. To get 'Gong Show', the player must break the strength tester sideshow near the beginning. The players health has to be green, and must use an Adrenaline injector. Hit the red block with a melee weapon, and the machine will explode at the top. Only the person who does it gets the achievement. To get 'Stache Whacker', find the whack-a-mole like sideshow. Press the button and hit or shoot every Mustachio that pops. If time runs out, go ahead and hit the button again. At 42 points the machine will go mad and start ringing and you will get the achievement. Everyone who has hit a mustachio will get the achievement. Both achievements will activate a horde.

The final crescendo event is less of a horde of zombies and more of a tide of zombies, each horde automatically being respawned until you take the LEFT gate and duck into the safe room. It's easy to believe this event is more difficult that the Finale itself, and much planning is required just to pass this crescendo. A good tactic is to have as much pipe bombs saved as possible to distract the horde without killing them (as there is a limit of how many Infected may be alive on the map) and a chainsaw for the one who shall lead the group, as well as heavy automatic weaponry.



Trivia

 * The dead cows you see in the barn use the same model as the ones in Blood Harvest.
