This walkthrough for Duke Nukem Forever Chapter 2: “Damn! It’s Late…” will show you how to complete the second chapter of Duke Nukem Forever, unlock 2 achievements, and find 2 ego cap rewards.
Duke ended Chapter 1: Duke Lives in an elevator, so it only makes sense that Chapter 2 would start out in an elevator. Duke is on his way for a guest appearance on the Damn! It’s Late talk show.
When the elevator opens, walk straight out, down the stairs, and through the double doors. Turn right, and in a little alcove on your right, there are some vending machines. You can use the vending machines repeatedly to spit out lots of snacks. Eat ten snacks to unlock the Duke Nukem Forever Noms Achievement for 10 gamer points.
Continue down the hallway and turn left. There is a “Green Room” that you can enter to see some people watching a news announcement about the alien invasion. Continue further down. On your right is a makeup room that you cannot enter, but to the left is an employee lounge. Go inside the lounge, and you can find a microwave with popcorn by it. Take the popcorn, put it in the microwave, and cook it for your first ego cap reward in this walkthrough: +2 ego points. (You can also find a rat in the cabinet under the sink. You can grab it and put it in the microwave for +2 ego points instead of the popcorn; alternatively you can squish it.)
Go back out into the hallway and keep heading towards the Damn! It’s Late Show. You will find a lady in the hallway next to some double doors. Go through the doors, and you will run into a kid and his father. The kid wants you autograph his book. Sign the book for your next ego cap reward: +2 ego points.
In case you didn’t grab all the snacks to get the Noms Achievement, there are some boxes of donuts laid out to your left that can help you towards that. Otherwise, continue on through the curtain to get to the stage of the Damn! It’s Late Show. When you get out on stage, the host tells you the show was cancelled. Walk across the stage and head out the exit on the other side of the desk.
Back stage, there will be a celebrity yelling at another guy. Go up and punch the guy to unlock the Duke Nukem Forever Nobody Likes a Whiner Achievement for 5 gamer points. Then head up the stairs and through the hallway until you get to the elevator. Take the elevator up to the Observation Room to see the progress of the alien invasion.
The elevator gets stuck during your ascent. The lights go out and the emergency box lights up to let you know to use it. Open the box and press the button inside. Then climb up the ladder to the roof of the elevator. The elevator has stopped just shy of the doors; they will be glowing, telling you to interact with them. Follow the on-screen instructions to force the door open, and then head around to the area with windows and staircases.
At the top of the stairs, you will find a boy in your throne. Duke tells him to scram, but the boy refuses to leave until you take his picture. The picture machine to the right will light up. Press X to take the boy’s picture. Then sit in the throne, and you will discover that it’s a secret entrance to The Duke Cave: the next chapter in Duke Nukem Forever.
