The Sugar Mill

The Sugar Mill is the second chapter in the Hard Rain campaign. Once you exit the safe room you see the Ducatel Mill right in front of you.You go in and head through a mill full of Witches. The abundance of Witches is due to the fact that the Witch has a strong attraction to the smell of sugar. Also based on a recent online poll, its one of the most difficult levels, and one used most common places to use health kits and pain pills.

The Crescendo event in this chapter is calling the elevator to take you down to a sugar cane field (similar to the corn fields in Blood Harvest of Left 4 Dead).

After the elevator arrives you head through the field. The campaign ends with you closing a door that leads to the inside of the gas station you've been looking for. Inside thin the saferoom you also see some green gas cans that you take back in the next chapters. In this campaign you also notice that it is sprinkling, or just beginning to rain.


 * Be aware that "full of witches" does not mean 3-4 witches. The level can contain up to 15-20 witches per level, often more than one in a single area and even lurking around in the sugar cane fields where you can't see them until you've spooked them.
 * Since this chapter takes place during the day, you will have to try your best to sneak around the Witches as they wander around instead of being stationary.
 * One tactic you can use to get across the suger fields is to head all the way to the right or left of the field where the water levels are lower than in the middle so you don't slow down through the field. Another method is to jump constantly through the field looking for any nearby Witches,but be weary though, as you may hit a Witch or two.

Achievements

 * Note that the achievement says without killing any Witches. It is possible to earn the achievement if a player startles a Witch and then escapes or is killed by her, as long as the Witch is not killed.
 * Since this part of the campaign takes place in the day, the Witches will be walking around the Sugar Mill. This makes it much harder to sneak past them.
 * Expect that you or your ally will die a lot if you want to get this achievement, especially if you play with AI survivors since the AI usually fails miserbly to sneak trying to sneak past them.
 * *For that reason, it's probably easier to get this achievement in Expert, since the Witch instantly kills any survivor that startles her. Be careful for you not to startle her, however.


 * It is possible to get the achievement if you join the game part way through the level, making it much easier to get.
