* After all the trouble monsters like the Sadist and Zehn gave you in the main game and Kidman's DLC, being able to to fight toe-to-toe with them as the Keeper in ''The Executioner'' is ''extremely'' satisfying. Special mention goes to the fight with the Sadist, where if you time your weapon swing with his, you can perform a BladeLock. Let me repeat that: [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome You can pull off a Blade Lock.]] [[DavidVersusGoliath With a hammer. Against a monster with a giant chainsaw.]] Also when Zhen drops to his knees after being injured enough, you can pick up his massive club and knock him on his ass with it, along with any Haunted that are around you at the time of the move.

* The RoaringRampageOfRescue that [[PapaWolf Pedro Martin]], the Father, goes through as the Keeper to save the Daughter, Marta Martin, in "The Executioner". Despite being an outsider and simple untrained civilian not knowing anything about the entire situation, he volunteers or is recruited by MOBIUS to take the form of a [[TheJuggernaut hulking monster]] and clear out STEM of all the other monsters after Ruvik's escape, in order to save his daughter from the system. Not only does he succeed, but he [[OneManArmy singlehandedly]] kicks more ass than Sebastian or Kidman in the process of doing so, fighting all his enemies head on, and likely survives the ordeal, even after having to kill himself in the process. The guy could put Liam Neeson in ''Taken'' to shame.

* Everything about the final battle. Sebastian somehow falls into a Humvee with a mounted machine gun, shoots Ruvik until he's finally knocked from it again, gets ''impaled on an iron spike'', is coughing up blood but [[MadeOfIron manages to grab a rocket launcher]] that conveniently falls near him, shoots Ruvik with it several more times until he's ripped off of the spike and thrown onto a giant, bloody brain, only to shoot Ruvik with the pistol, which ''finally'' ends the fight.

** The fight beforehand isn't a slouch either, going into three stages testing Kidman's speed, wits and accuracy: first, the Administrator [[MesACrowd surrounds Kidman with copies of himself]], forcing Kidman to figure out which body is the Administrator, [[BoomHeadshot before introducing his ugly mug to a faceful of buckshot]]. Then, the Administrator hounds Kidman with [[EvilKnockoff demented, Haunted copies of herself]], starting a literal run-and-gun chase through a dark maze to find and shoot up the dominant Haunted copy (hint: [[AnAxeToGrind it's the one with an axe]].) Finally, Juli charges the Administrator, who attacks by sending [[GroundWave waves of the floor at Kidman]], causing Juli to put her TakeCover mechanic to good use by hiding behind stable pillars, before getting in range of the Administrator. And even THEN the fight escalates one last time, with the Administrator summoning his two [[GiantHandsOfDoom giant, twisted arms to try flattening Juli]], [[AttackItsWeakPoint only for Juli to shoot the palm exposing the]] [[MarkOfTheBeast rune-like scars on the Administrator's hands]]. This last moment arguably rocks the hardest, as hearing [[SmugSnake the Administrator]] [[DefiantToTheEnd mocking Kidman all the way through]], [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness before screaming in legitimate pain when Juli shoots his giant hands]], [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore proves Juli is long past being scared of anything STEM or Mobius could throw at her, including]] ''[[TheDreaded HIM]]''."

* In ''The Assignment'', Julius manages to escape from one of the Haunted by impaling its head with one of her stiletto heels. Never question their usefulness again.

* Toward the end of ''The Consequence'', Juli gets a huge one when she takes down a Haunted, grabs the sawed-off shotgun it was carrying, and blasts her way through a veritable army of Haunted, all the while talking about how she's tried of running away.

* Killing Laura for good in your second fight with her is quite the accomplishment, considering how the game itself warns you against trying. [[CatharsisFactor Go ahead, see if you can resist giving her corpse a few good stomps after the shit she just put you through.]]

* This game has, without a doubt, the most cathartic NewGamePlus ever. All those encounters that you were intended to run away from in the first playthrough? Yeah, now you can actually ''win.''

* [[spoiler: The moment when Sebastian pulls the lever to finally smash the Keeper under a massive spiked trap and watch his "head" warp then burst open is rather satisfying after running from him for a good ten minutes.]]

* After going through the entire game dreading Ruvik, being forced into increasingly dire situations by him and never being able to land an attack on him the few times he does appear, it's very satisfying to watch Sebastian pay him back [[spoiler: by smashing a lantern into Ruvik's face, setting him ablaze and making him lose his composure]].

** Sticking around after you've turned off the toxic gas in Chapter 7 to try and kill him for good sounds like a terrible idea, since he can respawn from the safes littered around the area, and since there are 34 safes, you would have to kill him 35 times. While it seems like there isn't enough ammo for that, he also drops barbed wire traps, which can be farmed for trap parts, which can be used to craft crossbow bolts. Since he constantly drops barbed wire traps, you can stockpile a massive amount of traps parts, and end up with full crossbow ammo for all bolts, a huge amount of traps parts that can be used later if needed, and a massive amount of green gel to upgrade Sebastian with. He still makes his final apperance at the end of the chapter,but it's that fact that you killed him so many times that counts.

* Taking down [[TheJuggernaut The Sadist]] with the harpoon trap. After running your ass off from this monstrosity in the tutorial, it's good to see him go down.
