* **"The Mother of Taking Chances" - Golden Acres** - Make sure to retrieve your bolts as you take out the Grunts, but don't let the Hellhounds bite you!
* **"Virtue Meets Brute Force" - Maw Battery** - Make sure to use your four Dolches to their maximum extent as ammunition is limited and the targets are plenty.
* **"Exult Over Downfall" - Iron Works** - While blasting Armoreds with your Explosive Crossbow is fine, be sure to use precision when taking out the grunts.
* **"Reap the Whirlwind" - Brickworks** - Nothing quite like blowing up Meatheads with your Bomb Lance! But beware the Hives or things can get out of hands really quick!
