| How To Get The Abyss Hotline Miami 2 |
Step 1: Suit Up, It's Time for Withdrawal (But Not the Financial Kind)
The key to unlocking The Abyss lies in Act Four, Level 15: Withdrawal. You'll be playing as good ol' Jake, so pick your favorite murder mitts (fists, hammers, katanas, you name it) and get ready for a trip down memory lane...a very violent one.
Pro Tip: This level requires a flawless third floor. One wrong move and you'll be back at square one, so maybe ditch the experimental mask with the built-in disco ball this time.
Step 2: Dodge, Weave, Brutalize...But Mostly Don't Die (Especially on Floor 3)
This might sound obvious, but surviving the entire third floor of Withdrawal is paramount. You can die freely on the first two floors (because, hey, therapy ain't cheap), but the third one is a one-shot deal. Think of it as a macabre game of Russian Roulette, except instead of a gun, it's a room full of angry, gun-wielding folks.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Extra Tip: Some folks recommend using a silenced weapon like the nail gun for the first two floors to conserve health for the big finale. But hey, if you prefer a more "explosive" entrance on the third floor, that's your prerogative. Just...try not to blow yourself up.
Step 3: Post-Apocalyptic Coffee Break with a Twist
If you made it through the third floor without becoming a permanent resident, congrats! You've earned yourself a little post-apocalyptic chit-chat with a mysterious figure. Now, pay close attention here. As soon as your chat buddy gets up to grab some coffee (because apparently even mass murderers need caffeine), mash that action button like your life depends on it (because, in this game, it probably does). You'll snag a mysterious floppy disk.
Heads Up: This is your key to The Abyss. Don't lose it, don't eat it, and whatever you do, don't try using it to play solitaire on your katana.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
Behold! The Abyss Awaits
After completing Withdrawal with that sweet, sweet floppy disk in your inventory, you should now have access to The Abyss level in the level select screen. It'll be lurking ominously near the end, whispering promises of bloodshed and existential dread.
Congratulations! You've unlocked the hidden level and can now dive headfirst into a whole new wave of ultraviolence. Just remember, what you see in The Abyss...well, it might just stare back.
