Once Rick has reappeared, start walking to the right as two Deadmen (one red and one green) come walking towards you; once you have punched both of them (once and twice respectively) to kill them, crouch down in order to pick up that Cleaver. A Shibito in the background will then spit out a puddle of vomit onto the ground - and as with the two on the first stage, you can either jump over it or wait until it has evaporated, before another Green Deadman and a Top Heavy come walking towards you. Once you've either decapitated them with a strike from the Cleaver or just crouched down and kicked them (twice and thrice respectively) to kill them, the Top Heavy's head will come flying after you; once you have killed it with a strike from the Cleaver, another Shibito in the background will spit out a second puddle of vomit onto the ground. Once it's evaporated, the second Red Deadman will approach you from behind - and if you like, you can crouch down in order to pick up that Wrench and throw it into its stomach to kill it, but if you would prefer to decapitate it with the Cleaver or just crouch down and kick it you do not have to. But if you'd chosen to, you should crouch down in order to pick up the Cleaver again before three more Red Deadmen approach you from the front, and a sixth one approaches you from behind; once you've decapitated all of these, or just crouched down and kicked them to kill them, you will come to seven Hanging Dead who are dropping down out of the first, third, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, and tenth holes in the ceiling. Once you have killed each of them with a strike from the Cleaver, six more Red Deadmen will approach you from the front as three more approach you from behind - and once you have decapitated each of them or just crouched down and kicked them to kill them another Top Heavy will come walking towards you. Once you have either decapitated his body or just crouched down and kicked it (three times) to kill it, his head will come flying after you; once you have killed it with a strike from the Cleaver, Rick will drop it and drop down the ladder to the second section of the stage.

Once Rick has landed in the water, push the joystick up to make him grab that Stick that is mounted on the wall; four Water Dead will then emerge from the water. Once you have smashed them against the wall or jump-kicked them in the face to kill them, five Pods will come floating towards you from the right side of the screen, and a sixth one will float towards you from the left; once you've jumped over all of these, six more Water Dead will emerge from the water on either side of you. Once you have smashed each of these against the wall, or jump-kicked them in the face to kill them, two more Pods will float towards you from the right side of the screen; once you have jumped over both of them Rick will jump out of the water, drop the Stick and climb up the ladder to the boss room. This boss room features the only object that can knock Rick out instantly if he is unfortunate enough to have it land on him.

The boss room is possessed by a poltergeist, which will first shake the floor up beneath Rick's feet and cause some Poltergeist Candles, Drink Cans and Whiskey Bottles to fall down from the ceiling on top of him; walking all the way to the right side of the room, crouching down and kicking out repeatedly is the best way to avoid getting hit by these. That Poltergeist Chair will then start bouncing across the room towards you - it takes five hits to kill, and will fly into the wall each time it is hit. Once you have killed it, one of the Poltergeist Knives (the one embedded in the bookcase on the left side of the room) will start flying towards you; it will fall to the ground each time it is hit, and takes just three hits to kill. Once you have killed it, the other two Poltergeist Knives (the ones embedded in the walls) will start flying towards you simultaneously - and once you have punched both of these two three times to kill them, the Poltergeist Picture Frame will start flying randomly around the room. Once you've hit it eight times to kill it, the poltergeist will escape through the window on the right side of the room, and the chandelier will fall down from the ceiling; you should make sure to move Rick all the way to one side of the room at this point, as the chandelier will instantly knock him out if it lands on him and force him to fight the poltergeist items all over again (just with one less life). However, if the chandelier should land on Rick when he is down to his last life, it shall cost him the game, and once you have entered your initials on the high score table, you shall have to select "YES" within ten seconds of inserting another coin if you wish to continue from the very beginning of the stage.
