Greed

Greed is the fourth layer of Hell, as well as the first layer of Act II, located between Gluttony and Wrath. This layer is reserved for the souls who coveted wealth above all else in life. This layer is covered in a desert of gold dust, with a large sun that heats up the dust until it sets fire to those who touch it. The punishment of this layer is that the husks within must carry heavy boulders up the monuments of mankind's hubris for all eternity. While the largest and most prevalent of these monuments are the pyramids, there also exists the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, and the Eiffel Tower. A number of husks have adapted to this layer, most notably the Stalkers who have adapted to carrying heavy boulders and walking on superheated dust. There was an insurrection in Greed led by King Sisyphus and his army of Sisyphean Insurrectionists. After training his army in secret, Sisyphus used the disappearance of the angels to begin attacking the demons throughout the layer. When the angels returned, they slew Sisyphus before picking off the Insurrectionists one by one.

A number of new enemies can be encountered in this layer. Virtues are the first new enemies of the act, first being encountered at the start of [ 4-1: SLAVES TO POWER ]. The Stalker can first be encountered in [ 4-2: GOD DAMN THE SUN ] alongside the sand mechanics. A secret boss is present in [ 4-3: A SHOT IN THE DARK ], where finding the hidden Tomb of Kings can grant the player access to the Mysterious Druid Knight (& Owl). The Sisyphean Insurrectionist is fought at the end of [ 4-2: GOD DAMN THE SUN ]. Finally, V2 serves as the end boss of the layer in [ 4-4: CLAIR DE SOLEIL ].

A few new mechanics and weapons are introduced in this layer. Enemies covered in sand are introduced both spawned naturally and alongside Stalkers. The torch is first seen outside of [ P-1: SOUL SURVIVOR ], and the mechanic of lighting up dark areas is first taken advantage of here. The Sawblade Launcher (or Alternate Nailgun) can be found within a secret chamber in [ 4-4: CLAIR DE SOLEIL ], the location of which is hinted at after defeating the Mysterious Druid Knight (& Owl). In the same level, the player will acquire the Whiplash as a reward for beating V2.
