In the paper the semi-infinite \(q\)-state Potts model on \(\mathbb{Z}^{d-1}\times \mathbb{Z}^+\) is considered. Note that this paper is a continuation of the authors' previous study [J. Stat. Phys. 114, 1269--1302 (2004; Zbl 1129.82305)], where the high bulk temperature regime was investigated. In this part it is considered when the bulk is ordered. Here the prediction given in [\textit{R. Lipowsky}, Z. Phys. B 45, 229 (1982)] is proved, namely that the second surface transition between the new low temperature phase and the ordered phase actually occurs whenever \(e^{\beta J}-1>q^{1/d}\) for large values of \(q\). The results are based on the analysis of the induced effect of the bulk on the surface. The technical tools involved in the analysis are the Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation, cluster-expansion, Pirogov-Sinai theory and Alexander duality.
