The Parish

"DANGER, YOU ARE NOW ENTERING A U.S. MILITARY INSTALLATION, Use of deadly force has been authorized"

- U.S. military sign seen before entering The Waterfront.

The Parish is the final campaign in Left 4 Dead 2 and is set in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The campaign involves traveling from The Waterfront to a military helicopter evacuation point on the far side of The Bridge.

On leaving Virgil's boat at the Waterfront Market, it is immediately evident that the city has been overrun with Infected and that the military has begun to execute a plan to abandon it entirely, covering their retreat with aerial bombing.

To complete the campaign, the Survivors must make their way through the Infected-infested city, traversing not only a memorial park but an overrun evacuation center, impound lot, bombed out freeway, and cemetery. The Bridge finale is particularly challenging as it obliges Survivors to fight their way across the bridge in the face of rapidly spawning waves of Infected.

If successful, players are rewarded with a military helicopter evacuation and a cut scene depicting the bridge being blown up.

Below is a complete list of video walkthroughs of the 5 levels:


 * The Waterfront
 * The Park
 * The Cemetery
 * The Quarter
 * The Bridge

Please know that the gameplay videos are on each campaign's info page.

The Parish includes appearances from the Riot Infected, though two dead CEDA Worker Infected appear in both yellow and white suits.

This campaign is notable for having exactly two gauntlet crescendo events: one at a CEDA Evacuation Center and the other at the Veteran's Bridge finale.
