Punisher: If you destroy all blue targets in the beginning you can get a
free Punisher from the Merchant 2 guns before you can buy it. This pistol
hits two targets when you get it, and five when you get exclusive. This
makes it work well for crowd control.
Hint:
Killing birds: Toss a flash grenade in the center of a group of birds. All of
them will die instantly, leaving lots of Pesetas. This also works with the
Granadas when their heads are transformed.
Hint:
Defeating the "Big Cheese": In the early stages of the game, Leon is captured by the
"Big Cheese" (as Luis calls him) and his minions and gets infected
by the T-Virus. An intermission sequence then follows, opening in the room
where Leon was held after he became captured. He is tied up to Luis. After
the two talk for awhile, the "Big Cheese" sends in a villager with
an enormous axe. A button command happens and you will kill the villager if
performed correctly. Most of your encounters with this enemy involve using
simple button commands. However, the final battle between this enemy and
Leon involves a T-Virus parasite that comes out of the "Big
Cheese". To defeat this Boss easily, you will need two hand grenades
and two or more incendiary grenades. When the battle starts and the
"Big Cheese" is still ground-bound, use up both of your hand
grenades. This will be faster than shooting the Boss with any other
projectile-based weapon. Then, quickly throw another hand grenade at him as
he is recovering from the first one. After shooting the Boss at strategic
moments, an intermission sequence will start, involving the "Big
Cheese" having his legs blown off. He will cling to the rafters in the
Boss-fight-arena. Take out your incendiary grenades. Make sure that the Boss
is on the lowest level of rafters possible. Then, climb up the ladder that
leads to the second story of the arena. As you run around dodging the
"Big Cheese's" blows, throw an incendiary grenade at him as he is
swinging those massive tentacles located on his back. The grenade will hit
him and he will lose his grip on the rafters and fall to the ground. Now,
just as the first step using hand grenades, quickly throw another incendiary
grenade at him as he is recoiling. The next intermission sequence will
explain that you have defeated him, and you will receive the "False
Eyeball" item.
After the "Big
Cheese" Boss' body has been torn in two and he is swinging from the
rafters after you, just shoot him at close range with the shotgun as he is
in the process of moving and has only one arm attached to the beam. He will
fall every time. However if you hit him while he is hanging with both arms
attached, it will not work.
When he morphs into the
parasite, use a rocket launcher to shoot the Big Cheese. He will then split
in two. Climb the ladder and take out your shotgun. When he is close, just
shoot him a few times.
Hint:
Defeating Del Lago (the lake monster): When you start, he is towing you and heading toward the pieces of
land in the middle. Steer to avoid them and harpoon him as soon as you can
afterwards (before it lets go). Next, aim a harpoon and throw it at any sign
of movement so that you will not be knocked off the boat. After awhile it
will go away, then charge at the boat.Throw as many harpoons at it as
possible before it reaches the boat. If you get knocked out, press X
until you get back in. Repeat this process until the intermission sequence
starts and the monster retreats.
Hint:
Avoid fighting El Gigante: Use the following trick to avoid fighting El Gigante when he is
encountered the second time. After you survive the raid, you must choose a
path to open; left or right. Open the right gate and it will take you to El
Gigante. Use the shotgun and make the boulder drop down on his head when he
arrives. Then, turn around and kick the door six times to knock the chains
off it. If you are still standing outside the door when you see Gigante
approach you from behind, do not panic; just get out of there quickly. He
does not attack for a few seconds after he comes up behind you. The knife or
a gunshot may help destroy the chains quicker, but kicking works. Go through
another door in the same fashion and somewhere along the way you should find
a key. It may be in one of the last huts you see toward the center. If you
are quick enough, you can escape El Gigante and make it through the door
alive with Ashley.
Use the following trick to
avoid fighting El Gigante with Ashley. After the cabin raid with Ashley and
Luis, you will be given a choice of two large doors. The left door will lead
to the Chainsaw Sisters fight, which is very difficult. The right door will
lead to a second El Gigante. Make sure that you have a rifle with a scope
before entering. If necessary, purchase it from the merchant nearby.
Immediately after you enter the right passage and appear on the other side,
equip you rifle and shoot the chains off of the wooden door across from you
from a distance. Then, equip a shotgun or a pistol. Walk forward and you
will see the intermission sequence of El Gigante appearing. Ashley will
point out a large boulder above your head. Shoot it, then run to the door
with the chains that you shot off. Kick it down and run to the second cabin
that you see. Note: Make sure that you are holding Square to run;
timing is very important. In the second cabin, quickly get the key on the
floor immediately as you enter the doorway. Then, run to the next door and
shoot off those chains (a shotgun works best). Run to the final door and use
the Old Key that you found in the cabin. If you done fast enough, you should
escape El Gigante by a few seconds.
Hint:
Defeating El Gigante: Either weapon works; feel free to experiment. When the battle
starts, check out the shacks and get all of the items that you can. When he
gets close, run between his legs, get behind him, then open fire. When he is
approaching you, use the shotgun and keep shooting him in the head while
avoiding his attacks. When he roars and starts moving around, something will
pop out of his back. Before it kneels on the ground, get in close until the
action command that reads "Climb" appears. Use it to get on his
back. The screen will indicate which button to use to slash. Press that
button as fast as possible until you get off. Repeat the process one to
three more times to defeat him.
When facing the El Gigante, buy
a rocket launcher It will kill him in one hit instead of wasting your other
ammunition.
You will have to fight four El
Gigantes (the big monster that breaks through the door and picks up and
crushes Leon). You will fight one by yourself, one with the girl, and two at
the same time by yourself. The quickest way to kill them is to buy a rocket
launcher immediately before the fight so that you do not take waste space in
you inventory. Throw a flash grenade to stun him, then run around behind and
shoot him in the back. You will kill him in one hit. The same can also be
done on most of the Bosses. If this does not kill them, it will do a lot of
damage.
To win easily against the two
El Gigantes in Chapter 4-2, go up the ladder and go down the rope on the
other side of the room to activate the mechanism. It will open the circle in
the middle of the room and take an El Gigante into the lava. Do not try it a
second time; the mechanism will not work again. Just use the rocket launcher
to finish the remaining El Gigante.
To defeat the first El Gigante,
avoid him for about a minute or two so that the dog that you saved earlier
can help you. When the dog arrives, he will distract El Gigante. Take this
opportunity to get the ammunition inside the cabins. Once you get everything
in the cabins, shoot all of your shogun or TMP rounds at the El Gigante.
Once you have shot all of it, switch to the weapon that you did not use,
then shoot him until the virus in the back comes out. Then, shoot with all
of your remaining ammunition. Note: It is recommended that you shoot El
Gigante with the TMP first, then with the shotgun. The shotgun rounds do
more damage.
The second time you fight El
Gigante, you will have Ashley. This is difficult, because if Ashley dies you
will fail your mission. Defeating El Gigante the second time is easier
because you have the big rock. Shoot the wood holding the rock when El
Gigante is roaring. If done correctly, the rock will hit El Gigante. Just
after the rock hits him, shoot El Gigante with a shotgun until the virus
comes out of the back. Quickly climb his back and start cutting the virus.
Cutting the virus this time is difficult, because the game switches knife
attack to X or Square. Quickly, look at the button that is
supposed to be pressed and press it quickly until El Gigante recovers. Do
the same thing and you will kill him, allowing you to get the items in the
cabin's next place.
Near the beginning on the right
side of the road is a dog/wolf in a bear trap. Save him. After doing so, he
will run off into the woods. Later during you fight with El Gigante, it will
show up and help as a distraction. It will take his attention off of you so
that you can collect items. If you fire, he will go back after you, but will
later still go back to trying to attack the dog/wolf.
Hint:
Defeating Gothic Illuminados: When you are in the castle and you fire at the Gothic
Illuminados, it is best to fire at their knees. They will fall on them and
allow you to use a suplex move instead of a kick. You will then throw them
over your head and smash their head in the ground. Note: In mercenary mode,
the same goes for the rest of the mercenaries.
Hint:
Defeating Los Illuminados: Instead of firing at Los Illuminados when there parasite is
exposed, use a flash grenade to destroy the parasite instead of using your
weapon.
Hint:
Defeating Krauser: Krauser is the mean-looking Russian commando with the red beret.
The first encounter is nothing more than action commands. The second
encounter, you can kill him. For this battle, the weaponry you need is the
semi-auto rifle and the Broken Butterfly. These two should be maxed out,
with exclusives and everything else. If you are short on resources, worry
more about getting the Broken Butterfly's exclusive, as it really increases
the firepower. In the room where the long and hardest fight takes place,
just run to the edge, taking the contents of a barrel along the way. Jump
down the edge. Run across the corridor-like area until an intermission
sequence starts, Krauser will tell you where Ashley is (not really) and say
that you need three insignia to open the gate. He will say that one is in
the north and in the east, and that he has the last one. Then, he will show
his TMP. After that, the battle starts. Use the rifle to peg him in the
head, but be quick. When he shows himself, he does not leave a big window of
time to hit him. After about one or two shots he will engage close quarters.
The best thing to do is take out the magnum and hit him anywhere. One shot
and he will throw a flash grenade. From there, continue. There is a building
at the end of the first fight with Krauser in this battle. Ignore the
ladder. It is a waste of your time. Open the door and proceed. Turn the
corner to find Krauser again. Keep the magnum out. He will be on a building,
sniping you. Run toward the building. Use some caution when he starts with
the mine arrows. When you are close enough to the building he will jump down
and begin close quartering again. Hit him with the magnum. If you do not hit
him the first time he may get close enough to use his knife. Either back up
to avoid the hit, or (if becomes surreal and he tries to hit you multiple
times), enter the action commands as they appear to avoid a slash or a
deadly stab to the heart. After he throws another flash grenade, go to the
right of the building and walk along the side. It is a path to the next
fight with Krauser. This is also where you get the first insignia. In this
fight, Krauser will switch between sniping and close quartering. While he is
sniping, get under the roof he stands on and enter the action icons to avoid
the grenades. When he gets down, aim and shoot. It will be a little tricky
because the laser does not show up on Krauser, and you may need to wait
until he says, "Come on! Come out and fight like a man!" The
important thing is to shoot him. After he throws another flash grenade, a
statue will rise. Push it to the square on the other side of the broken
wall. This will open up two switches to be used; one to get out of the area
you are in and the other to carry on to the last fight. Flip the first
switch and go back down the path. When you get to the building, go around
the backside of it and go straight to the second switch. Be careful. Krauser
will be waiting for you around the corner, heading toward the switch. This
starts the second to last shuffle. Just shoot him with the magnum. Open the
door and jump down. You see that there are bombs around. Shoot them at a
safe distance. Proceed through this trench to the end, shooting any bombs or
flying turrets you encounter. Near the end of the path, Krauser will say
something and you will have the choice of responding. In the tower at the
end, climb the ladder. At the top you can go to the other tower and pick up
some ammo and an herb if desired; or collect the second insignia and start
the last fight. Krauser does not use his weapon anymore. However, his left
arm turns into a group of blades. The fight will commence with an action
command. You will dodge if you hit it correctly. You will hang on the edge
if you do not. If this happens, press X to get up. The weapon you use
is your choice. The magnum is recommended, as you only have three minutes to
kill him and get out of the room. This is where timing and aim counts the
most. The shooting order is as follows: feet, head. You can use the rifle to
get him down, but for the head shot, it is better to use the magnum. If done
correctly, you should kill him in a little over a half a minute. After he is
dead, go down the ladder, and through the newly opened gate. Jump down, put
in the insignia, and leave.
To easily defeat Krauser's
final form, when his arm is mutated just use your knife whenever his guard
is down. It is possible to defeat him in a little over a minute under the
pro difficulty setting by using this technique.
When fighting Krauser, instead
of wasting ammunition, use your knife. You should only have to hit him four
or five times before he dies.
Get the mine gun and the rocket
launcher first. During his final form, shoot him in the knee with a mine.
Immediately take out the rocket launcher and aim. Once the mine explodes,
shoot him with the rocket launcher and he will die.
When fighting Krauser and he
uses his blade arm, use a strong gun to hit his legs. When he is down, slash
him with your knife. Do this four times and he will die.
This trick requires the Stryker
with a couple of power and capacity upgrades. Keep shooting him with the
Stryker until his arm transforms. When he uses his arm as a shield, shoot
his legs. then open fire on his back. Keep doing this until he dies.
You actually only need the
knife at first. When the fight starts, he will be aiming at you with either
his custom TMP or his bow. Just run away to a small tower-like structure.
Krauser will follow you. When he gets close, slash him with the knife. He
should flinch, back off, toss a flash grenade, and escape. It might require
more than one slash, but usually, even under the pro difficulty setting it
takes only one to make him back off every time. When his arm finally
transforms, try dodging his attacks and waiting for an opening. Then blast
him with a powerful gun when his arm is not in the way. Note: He may not
take damage when he is on one knee.
Use the following trick to
defeat Krauser with Ada. Work your way up to the last part of the gamem
where you reach the long bridge-looking area. Slowly walk up, and as soon as
you see the three barrels stop and shoot them with anything other than your
rifle. Walk a little further up and watch the intermission sequence as
Krauser jumps down and starts chasing you. Then, if you want the items, run
as fast as you can, pick them up, then run to the edge of the bridge. Turn
around, and shoot Krauser in his head with your rifle. (or any part of his
body that is not covered by his wing). This should keep him from slashing
you with his wing-like arm. After this, stay backed up into the edge and,
even though he is close, continue to shoot him with your rifle. This may
take some practice, but you can still use your button commands while
scoping. Since you do not have a knife, this is probably the most effective
way to kill him. He will go down with about five or six shots to the head.
When you see him, draw your
knife and he will do so as well. He will walk slowly toward you. Just swipe
your knife and he will back away holding his face. He will often initiate a
"duel" with you, and you must press X + Square or L1
+ R1 to complete the combo. It ends when you kick him in the face.
This is more amusing and saves ammunition.
Hint:
Avoiding close combat with Krauser: At the beginning of the second encounter with Krauser, you will
be forced into one area due to a gate which is on a time lock. Because of
this, you are forced to deal with Krauser until the gate opens. To avoid
wasting ammunition or Herbs, climb up the ladder and jump down once Krauser
comes up after you. He will jump down again to get at you, which is your cue
to simply climb back up the ladder. You can continue this charade until the
gate opens, and Krauser will never be able to attack you. Although this is
much less exciting than actually fighting Krauser, and far more ridiculous,
it is more effective than wasting ammunition on an opponent you cannot kill
while risking loss of health.
Hint:
Defeating enemies on bridges: When on a bridge with open areas, take out a weak gun. One shot
will make them fall off the bridge. However, you will not get any items from
them.
Hint:
Defeating Saddler: Look at his legs. If you see an eyeball, shoot it until ypu can
see the eyeball in his mouth. Get near it and press Action. Do this
about three times, then go across the bridge and get the rocket launcher.
Shoot it at him. Then, go down, get the girl, and ride the jet ski.
The most effective way to win
this battle is to have the Mine Thrower and some grenades. Start the battle
by running past Saddler to the end platform and climb up the ladder. Wait
for Saddler to get close to where you are and throw the switch. This will
trigger steel beams to crash into him. Saddler will flop down on the ground.
Quickly jump off the platform and go near him. Press X to trigger
Leon to "climb up". Leon will stab his eye. You must stab Saddler
eight to nine times to defeat him. Quickly run across the bridge and get
ready to do an action command to jump when the bridge falls. As Leon grabs
on, repeatedly tap X to climb up. Be aware if Saddler has not jumped
over to where you are, he will throw steel beams and you will have to do
action commands to dodge them. Run to the end, and once again climb up the
ladder. Get ready to throw the switch and cause Saddler to fall and stab
him. There are now multiple ways to get him to flop down. A single grenade
is enough, as well as a Dart Mine. You can use these to get him to fall. You
get also take out the thermal scope for your sniper and target one of the
four eyes on his legs. Those are all good ways to get Leon to stab his eye.
Note: Stabbing Saddler's eye is the only way to damage him. Finally, when
you haved stab him enough (about eight to nine times) an intermission
sequence will appear, and Ada will throw a Rocket Launcher (Special) to you
to finish the job. Grab it across the bridge and make room for it in your
case. Point and shoot at Saddler, and the final battle intermission sequence
will begin.
Note: This trick requires a
strong weapon such as the Chicago Typewriter or the Broken Butterfly if you
have not completed the game yet. When the fight starts, shoot his lesser
eyes on his leg. When he collapses, shoot the eye in his mouth to inflict
damage greater than the knife. This strategy is very useful in pro mode,
where about ten stabs will get Ada to throw the special launcher. However,
it requires three exclusive Handcannon shots to get Ada to throw the special
launcher. After that, two more shots will kill him.
You will need a lot of recovery
items (buy them from the merchant before the battle), the Striker Shot gun,
the Killer 7 magnum, and the Combat Vest. When you start the battle,
Sadler's parasite will appear. Quickly run over the falling bridge and go to
the side. Go up the ladder and pull the switch when he gets close. Run back
across and do the same thing. Then, take out his four eyes with the shotgun
(recommended) or any other weapon. Land hits with the magnum on his large
eye. After you take out the eyes on his legs, Ada will throw you the Rocket
Launcher special. Use it on Sadler's giant eye to finish the job. After the
battle, collect the 10,000 Pesatas and run for the jetski.
Just before you enter to fight
Saddler, there is a merchant up the hill from the elevator. Buy a rocket
launcher. Note: Do not sell all your previous guns. If possible, keep at
least one (shotgun recommended). Once done, enter the elevator and ride it
up to see Ada hanging. Wait until Saddler transforms and let the battle
begin. Keep your distance as much as you can until you see an eyeball on one
of Saddler's legs. Quickly and as accurate as possible take out your shotgun
and give that eye a good shot. This should bring Saddler down for a few
seconds. Do not wait to watch him fall to his knees, as he gets back up
almost instantly. Instead, bring out your rocket launcher and shoot the
eyeball that was in his mouth. This should get Ada to toss you a second
rocket launcher. Work your way up to the higher part of the arena. It may
take some time to get there because the two bridges on either side will
drop, then reconnect. Use some fast thinking and press L1 and R1,
or X and Square to jump to the higher part if the bridge drops
on you. Once you are up there, the first thing you want to go for is the
rocket launcher that Ada threw. Once you grab it, turn and look towards
Saddler. At this time you may want to take back out your shotgun or the gun
that you previously used to shoot the eye on his leg. Watch Saddler and for
the pipes he throws at you. For this, simply use the button command to dodge
them. After awhile, usually when the bridge reconnects, he will jump to the
side you are on. He may try to get as close to you as he can. If this
happens run as fast as possible to the opposite side of where he is located.
Once you get your distance, turn towards Saddler and shoot out one of the
eyes on his legs again. When he falls, again take out the rocket launcher
and shoot his eye in the mouth. Note: Do not worry about any items during
the fight. If you are fast enough you should be able to get them after the
battle.
Buy two unlimited rocket
launchers and shoot him once then in the eye ball. If you want to make the
fight more difficult, use only a handgun and knife. At the beginning of the
fight, run away from him until the eyeballs in his legs appear. When this
happens, go near and climb him. Then, quickly run towards the little stage
at the end of the platform and climb the ladder. Be careful because Saddler
throws steel pipes quickly. When Saddler gets near the small platform,
activate the wrecking machine and the pipes will hit him. Then, go down and
climb him. Run away from him to the main platform and wait until he comes
near the red barrel. Shoot the barrel and it will explode, allowing you to
climb him. Shoot an eyeball from his legs and climb him again. Then, go to
the other platform and wait until he jumps over there. When he jumps, run to
the platform quickly and activate the machine. Climb him again and stab.
There will now be a barrel. Wait until Saddler is next to it. Shoot it, then
climb the back. When you shoot an eyeball in his leg and climb him the eight
or ninth time, Ada will come out and give you the special rocket launcher.
Shoot Saddler with it and it should kill him. Get the keys and go down the
elevator. Note: Do not shoot Saddler with the special rocket launcher at
close range. You will either miss or kill him and yourself.
Hint:
Defeating Salazar: Note: This trick requires the Basic Sniper Rifle fully upgraded
with the Exclusive Upgrade. Make a note of the dodge actions at various
times during this battle. Start off by running to the side of the platform
on the top. Quickly shoot the tentacle in front of you, making sure that you
dodge if needed. With the upgraded sniper, shoot the tentacle retracts with
one shot. Ignore Salazar's eye and other tentacles. Only focus on the
tentacle closest to you. After some point, Salazar himself will emerge from
the upper back of the monster. Use your sniper to pick him off. After you
get about two shots in, he will go back into hiding. By now that tentacle
should have returned. Shoot it once to take care of it for awhile. Repeat
the process of shooting Salazar and the tentacle, and the battle will cause
Leon to take little damage. If you run out of ammunition for the sniper
rifle, either drop down and look for more in the barrels (but be prepared to
fight the spider-like parasites or run pass them), or use your Punisher to
snipe Salazar and just dodge the tentacle.
When you are in the castle, you
may find a rocket launcher in the room where you must make a bridge to get
to the other side. Take the rocket launcher but do not use it. Wait for your
fight with Salazar to use it to end Chapter 4 easily. Immediately before the
Boss battle with Salazar, take the TMP, the rocket launcher, some herbs, and
a shotgun (Striker recommended, but the Riot Gun works). When you enter the
room, watch Salazar fuse with the monster, then get to work. Use the shotgun
or TMP on the tentacle to your left until it goes away. Grab the item that
is at the end then fire with the TMP until Salazar appears. Then, equip that
rocket launcher and fire for a one hit kill. Get the 30,000 or 50,000 Peseta
that he drops. This will pays for the rocket you used, and you will save
health for the next chapter. Once the Pesata is collected, go down into the
pit and pick up the remaining items. You can then leave and proceed to
Chapter 5.
You must have the Broken
Butterfly or Killer 7, and the striker or riot shotgun. When you run into
the room a sequence will begin. Make sure to have the shotgun (striker or
the riot) equipped. Do not use the pump action, as it slightly slow. Once
the sequence ends, shoot him in his left eye, which is the yellow one, until
another sequence starts, showing the true Salazar. As soon as you have
control of Leon, quickly equip the Magnum. Note: They should be upgraded in
power and firing speed. Shoot him repeatedly until he dies. It should take
around six or more shots, depending on your aim and the Magnum that you use.
All this should take no more than thirty seconds to a minute and a half if
you do not have the Magnum powered up. If you do not kill him with the first
attempt when it opens up, you may have to repeat the process.
Use the following trick to
defeat Salazar in under thirty seconds. You need the rocket launcher you
find in the gallery and a Broken Butterfly magnum (preferably with two
firepower upgrades). As soon as the fight starts, aim at his eye with the
Broken Butterfly. When his "shell" thing opens up to show the
midget, blast him with the rocket launcher.
Use the following trick to kill
Salazar when he combines himself with Verdugo. Go to the left corner of the
room. This will make you be immune to any attacks he basically tries to use.
When the giant mouth tries to eat you, it will not work. Shoot the tentacle
above you and the tentacle on the other side without moving. Red9 is the
most recommended gun to take out the tentacles. After they retract, quickly
take out your TMP or a rocket launcher and fire at the little blob, which is
Salazar. Sit there and shoot. Do not be afraid if the giant mouth reaches
for you. It will not kill you because it cannot reach you. Buy a Red9 and
upgrade it all the time, along with your TMP (stock for both).
Buy a rocket launcher at the
merchant just before you enter the Boss battle. After the intermission
sequence (when Salazar transforms), shoot the striker out then shoot the eye
of Salazar's transformed left hand until he opens his egg. Then, take out
the rocket launcher and shoot Salazar. You will get 50,000 Pesetas.
To defeat Salazar, you need
most weapons fully upgraded, like a shotgun, TMP, Punisher, Broken Butterfly
or a Killer 7, and mine thrower. At the start of the fight, take out your
shotgun and go left to get the herb and shotgun shells. Then, go to the
right side of the room to avoid getting eaten when his head spreads out.
Make sure you avoid all his attacks. Then, in clean shots get Salazar in the
eye. After the fourth clean shot, he should come out from hiding. At this
point, take out a mine thrower and shoot him twice until the head recovers.
Then, if you have ammunition, shoot the eye ball with another mine dart and
let it explode. The head should lower down, allowing you to hit Salazar.
Take your TMP and keep shooting him until he recovers. Keep shooting the eye
ball with your magnum. Keep doing this with different weapons every time he
is defenseless and he should die. Note: If you run out of your main weapon
ammunition, use the fully upgraded Punisher. Keep shooting the eye ball and
he should die using no more than forty shots with all the damage done.
Get enough money to buy a
rocket launcher. Use it on Salazar when he pops out. He should fall in the
one shot.
When the battle starts, run to
your right then turn right again. You should be given an option to jump
down. Do so, then run towards the two barrels. Quickly smash them, then run
to the corner of which the left barrel was at. This should be the corner on
the right when facing Salazar. This is the only location where Salazar
cannot get you, but you can still get him. The speed of this battle depends
on the guns you have. The fastest way is to use a rocket launcher. Do not
just blast it; you will just waste your rocket. While you are down there,
there will be plenty of little scorpion-like things trying to attack you.
Keep them at bay with a handgun or shotgun. They should start getting close
every ten to fifteen seconds. In between these times, take out your rifle
and aim for the green eye on the huge monster's face. When you get a clear
shot, take it. Do not forget to take out your handgun or shotgun to kill the
little scorpion things every few seconds. Repeat this until you see Salazar
come out. At this time, take out your rocket launcher and fire at his head.
This should kill him. If you do not have a rocket launcher, simply shoot
Salazar's head with the rifle until he dies. This will take much longer and
is much harder. You should not have to worry about running out of
ammunition. The scorpion things should leave plenty of it.
Hint:
Defeating Verdugo: To defeat Salazar's right-hand man (Verdugo) quickly, make sure
you have a rocket launcher. Then, tip over a freeze canister and shoot him
with a rocket to make him explode. You will get a Crown Jewel that fits into
a Royal Crown.
Hint:
Defeating the armored opponents: Try not to get surrounded by them. Make sure they are in a group.
Take out whatever rifle you have and shoot them all in the head until the
snake thing appears. Wait until they are all like, then throw a flash
grenade to kill all of them at once. This works well on all of them, and
saves ammunition.
Hint:
Defeating chainsaw men: When you meet a man with the chainsaw, shoot him with the shotgun
and incendiary grenades. You can also just use your handgun, but you will
probably get killed. Note: The shotgun is found in the building that is
diagonal from the tower.
Shoot the chainsaw man in the
head or stomach with a TMP. Make sure you have over 150 rounds of
ammunition, as the chainsaw men are strong and fat. They will not die easily
with less than 100 TMP rounds.
The first chainsaw man you
encounter is in the house after you are almost choked to death. Go down the
steps. Before going in the room, turn right and enter the bathroom. Be
prepared for one of the monsters. Then, enter the dining room. In one corner
of the room is a save point. Use it. Do not shoot your gun. Walk to the oven
to your left. Open it and get the egg. Wover to the fireplace and walk by it
into the other room. In the tall bookcase is an incendiary grenade. Slash
the case with your knife and get the grenade. Now equipped your rifle, walk
through the door. Do not kick it. Take two or three steps and zoom in with
your scope towards the fence. Look for the chainsaw man. Shoot him between
the eyes then run back up the stairs. Turn and equip the incendiary grenade.
When he is halfway up the stairs, throw it at him. Run by and get to the
door. Run all the way. You can stop to fight but listen carefully for his
chain saw revving. If you hear it, run forward and get to the other doors
before you lose your head.
Hint:
Bypass chainsaw man encounters: When you enter the town, kill everyone. When the second wave of
people arrives, also kill all of them. You can then go into the house and
they will not come out.
During the mine cart section of
Chapter 4-2, the mine car will stop and lots of enemies and two chainsaw men
will load into the stopped cars. To avoid most of this encounter, be in the
front car and immediately shoot the switch. The cars will start moving, and
you will have only have about four enemies to kill.
Hint:
Defeating the chainsaw sisters: Soon after the farmhouse raid (where Louis helps you then
mysteriously dismisses himself from Leon and Ashley), you will reach a place
where you will find a merchant, a typewriter for saving, and in the
distance, a fortress containing two pathways. A lever is needed to open both
doors on either the left or right side. Depending on which side you choose,
the right door will take you to El Gigante and the left door will take you
to a frustrating battle between two mad chainsaw women. This battle can be
easy if you use the right tactics. As soon as you rid all the other zombies
from getting in your and Ashley's way, hide Ashley in one of the red
dumpsters located in the beginning of the path, or on the top of the
fortress. You will see a "battle ring" of some sort just below
you. Jump down and a brief intermission sequence will show you the two
zombie menaces with chainsaws. Instead of staying in the ring waiting to be
decapitated, use a flash grenade to stun all the other distracting zombies,
including the two chainsaw sisters. If you do not have any grenades of some
sort, quickly run to the nearest ladder. While they are stunned, run to the
nearest ladder and climb it. Run to the farthest place where there is a lot
of space. This tactic also gives you time to reload or prepare for the swarm
of zombies coming after you. Shortly afterwards, when the zombie crowd
reaches you, throw a grenade at them, or shoot them. When you see the
chainsaw sisters, shoot them first, as they are much faster and can do more
damage. It takes a lot to kill them, but they do fall to their knees or flat
on their back when shot with a rifle or shotgun. You will know if you have
killed a chainsaw sister when a colored beam glows from her body. One of the
sisters has an item on her, while the other contains a Camp Key. If this
technique does not work the first time, keep trying--it is better than being
mauled in a ring full of zombies.
Note: This will only work if
you have at least 30,000 Pestas. An easier way to defeat the chainsaw
sisters is to buy a rocket launcher. Do not use it until you are in the
arena-like area. Take out your rocket launcher before you go down the
ladder. The chainsaw women will come out, accompanied by some other people
and go after you. Aim at the nearest one and shoot her. When you do, Leon
will duck down and flame will go everywhere. If done at the correct moment,
both of them should be dead. Only two or three people will be remaining.
Take them out and continue.
First, stash Ashley. Then, take
out any Ganados you see. Climb up the ladder and drop down in the pit. The
sisters will eventually make their appearance. As soon as they do, go back
to the door that you used to enter. Let them come to you and take them all
out. It is recommended that you have the TMP, shotgun, and any kind of
grenade (preferably incendiary or flash). Use the shotgun first, then the
grenades, then finally the TMP. Aim for their legs to save time.
When you approach the
"battle pit" where the chainsaw sisters battle begins, go around
and knock down the ladder on the other side of the pit. Go to the other
ladder (located on the opposite side of the ladder you knocked down). Jump
down besides the ladder. The intermission sequence will start and the battle
will begin. Immediately climb back up the ladder and knock it down. Then,
just shoot them in the head. Any time you see one trying to set up the
ladder, shoot them first. They will stop to pick up the ladder, which gives
time to shoot them before they can set it up. This will cause them to drop
the ladder. If they set up the ladder in front of you and one is climbing
it, shoot them in the face when you see them approaching the top and kick
the ladder back down. Regularly check to make sure no villagers are coming
from either side of you. By doing this it is possible to defeat the chainsaw
sisters without getting touched once, using only the basic handgun. If you
use the shotgun or Punisher, the battle can end faster. Also, avoid using
the rifle as it takes longer to shoot and can give the villagers too much
time to set up and climb the ladders. The key is to make sure that they
never get the ladders set back up. Once they are all dead (the chainsaw
sisters should be the last two alive), you can hop down, grab all the goods,
then set the ladder back up if desired.
Hint:
Defeating the prison Boss: When inside the castle, an obstacle blocks your path (two fire
breathing statues) To shut it off, you must enter the prison (the key is on
a painting near the obstacle). When you go into the prison, equip either the
TMP or shotgun and tell Ashley to wait atop the stairs. After the
intermission sequence showing what the boss looks like, kick down the cell
door and get close to the switch to initiate the battle. If you go up the
stairs to try to escape, the door will shut. Try walking as much as
possible, as he is sensitive to sound. You can use the bells at each end of
the prison by shooting at them, but they can only be used once. Stay close
to walls so that he gets stuck when he tries to attack you. Do your best to
avoid his attacks, as they take much damage and there is only one Green Herb
in the area. His only weakness is the spider thing on his back. When he is
stuck in a wall, concentrate all of your firepower on the the weak point
until he recuperates. After awhile, he will let his guard down and walk
around. This is when he is most vulnerable, besides when he is stuck in a
wall. Repeat this as many times as needed to kill him. When you put Ashley
atop the steps, she is out of harm's way.
Make sure that he is closer to
the bell than he is to you. Shoot it with your handgun. If he is closer to
you, he hears the gunshot. Then, switch to the rifle and aim just in front
of the bell. If you aimed well and timed your shot correctly, you can shoot
him in the back before he destroys the bell.
Whenever you first open the
gate to the prison, run out to the opposite wall. Turn your back to the wall
and remain still. If you do not move, the prison Boss cannot hear you. He
will eventually walk around with his claws shortened. When he retracts his
claws, wait for him to turn his back to you. Whenever you have a clear shot,
shoot the small creature on his back with your most powerful weapon (besides
grenades). He should turn and run after you. He will extend his claws and
try to stab you. However, because you are up against the wall, you can
easily side-step him and he will get his claws stuck in the wall. You must
time when you side-step precisely. Whenever he gets his claws stuck in the
wall, run to the opposite wall and turn your back to it. Remain still and he
will eventually retract his claws again. After that, just keep repeating. It
may take as many as five to ten times to kill him. Also, you should use the
bells on the walls to your advantage. They can only be used once, but they
are a good way to get his back exposed. However, make sure that the Boss is
closer to the bells than to you are, as he will hear the gunshot rather than
the bell if he is nearby. If you use this method, you should not take any
hits or waste much ammunition.
Stand at the opposite wall.
Make sure you are directly next to one of the bells. When he turns around,
shoot him on the spider on the back as many times as possible. After he
recovers he will run towards you and try to kill you. If you move at correct
moment, he will get stuck in the wall next to the bell. Shoot him in the
back again and wait until he recovers before he charges at you. Shoot the
bell. He should get stuck. Shoot him with your Punisher or handgun. Do this
three or four times. During the third time you do this, shoot him with a
shotgun and he will die. If not, keep doing it again until he is finally
defeated.
Hint:
Defeating the Enemy Regenerator and Iron Maiden: You do not need a special scope to kill them. Buy the Killer 7
Magnum and use it on them. After three or four shots, they will go down.
Shoot it in the sheet until there is a hole. Then, shoot its head. After
that, the body will explode then the legs will fall over and leave 5,000
gold.
Another way to kill the
Regenerator creatures is to shoot their head or chest with the shotgun.
Then, blast a leg away. It will fall on the ground. Then, take out an
incinerator grenade (the red ones) and let him have it. If done correctly,
he will burn on the ground and die.
Hint:
Defeating dogs: The zombie dogs are brown colored. You will find one in the
beginning. The zombie dogs will not attack you until you meet the "Big
Cheese", as Leon calls him. The dogs will have parasites sticking out
of them after chapter 3. A shotgun will kill them easily. Note: Do not kill
the white dog in the trap. It will help you fight the ogre Boss.
You can shoot the white dog in
the head and it will be released from its trap and run away. It will still
helped in the Gigante fight. Note: A stronger gun might kill it.
Hint:
Defeating human zombies: If you are low on ammunition, try to avoid these enemies. The
zombies have orange eyes. When killed, the parasite in them will come out of
their heads. Stay away from it and shoot it from a distance. If you are too
close, the parasite will cut your head off.
Hint:
Defeating evil cult members: When you fighting the evil cult at anytime, shoot their legs and
bring them their knees. Leon will do a suplex instead of a kick. It is very
effective.
Hint:
Defeating two men with claws: When battling these two characters in a hall, simply move slowly
to the end of the hall. If they hear you and start attacking, run and slow
down. You can either go through the door or have some fun and hide behind
one and shoot the other. The one you shoot will attack, but since you are
behind one you are safe.
Hint:
Defeating Novistadors: Novistadors are the giant insects that you encounter mostly
underground. They can be difficult if left alive for too long. They have a
habit of jumping at you, spewing acid all over, and repeating this until you
break them off or die. They also bend light around themselves, becoming
mostly invisible. You can see them if you look carefully, especially for
their glowing eyes. Blast them a few times with the shotgun from close
range, or from afar with the semi-auto rifle or regular rifle. If they are
airborne, shoot them once with the handgun in the air. They will go down
with a single shot, but may also fall into a crevice or gap. If this
happens, you will lose all the pickups, pesetas, ammo or the unique eye
treasures they hold. Note: If you picked up the Thermal Scope when you
completed the game and saved it until the point you encounter Novistadors,
you can use the Thermal Scope to see them easier.
If you are able to hit the
flying insect enemies in the cave area while they are airborne, they will
die in just one hit. Any weapon works, though the shotgun is recommended.
This will help conserve your ammunition. If they manage to land, you will
use about three to four shogun rounds from a Stock Striker (firepower 6.0).
Hint:
Defeating villagers: The villagers are very common, and are the weakest of Los Ganados
or "the cattle". They go down with a few well placed headshots.
Alternately, shoot them once in the head, once in the knee, then go close
and kick them. They should go down easily like this under the pro difficulty
setting. Otherwise, just headshot and kick, or kneeshot, kick and finish off
with the knife. Note: Always finish downed Ganados with the knife to save
ammunition, except if you cannot reach them.
Hint:
Defeating villagers with torches: Some villagers have torches. If those villagers come close to
you, they can do two things. If they hit you with the torch, shoot their
head or take a step back. If they will blow on the torch and try to burn
you, shoot at their body and they will burn themselves.
Hint:
Defeating the village chief: His weak point is his spine. This important body part is best
targeted with the shotgun and the TMP. Bitors has a devastating lunge attack
that you must dodge. Watch his arms. They will flinch just before he
attacks. Keep hitting the spine and eventually he will break in two. Bitors
will get up and start swinging around the cross beams. Climb up the ladder
and blast the half village chief when he gets too close. Keep shooting him
and he will be dead in no time.
Hint:
Defeating zealots: Zealots are the hooded Ganados in the castle area. They are
tough, and take more punishment than your average Ganado. Watch out if the
parasite in them pops out of their heads. They have a nasty habit of
chomping your head off in a single bite when they get close. Otherwise, use
the shotgun at close range and blast off their heads. Alternately, use a
handgun and make several headshots, a knee shot, and when he is kneeling go
close and suplex him down. Leon will suplex them down instead of kicking.
The suplex is more powerful than the kick, but it does not knock down others
around you like the kick. There does not seem to be a way to switch between
the kneeling kick and the kneeling suplex; the headshot/flash blind attack
is always a kick.
Hint:
Cabin: Extra ammunition: When in the cabin with Luis fighting the Ganados coming through
the windows, stand by Luis for a few minutes. He will eventually start
throwing handgun ammunition to you. He will continue doing this until he
tells you to go upstairs.
Hint:
Cabin: Surviving: When in the cabin with Luis, push one of the bookshelves over one
window. This will leave you one you do not need to worry about until it
breaks. Wait until the bookshelf that was moved breaks and all the villagers
standing there come through. Do not stay and fight. Go halfway up the stairs
and kill any that are coming up. Allow Louis do all the fighting downstairs(
he has unlimited health ). When your starting to become overwhelmed on the
stairs, go all the way up. When Luis gets upstairs, throw an incinerating
grenade at the steps only when the swarm of villagers are near the top. This
will set a mass of villagers aflame. Some villagers will start coming
through the windows. -- knock down the ladders. If you see one approaching
the window, shoot him and he will fall to his death. Make sure that you have
a shotgun to deal with the villagers that have the viruses in their head. If
all goes well and you balance your combat with the ones coming through the
windows and those coming upstairs, you will win.
Hint:
Cabin: Two paths: During the game you will get ambushed by a lot of villagers and
be forced to hide in a cabin. Block as many doors and windows as possible,
then go by the stairs and equip the shotgun. Zombies will eventually find
their way in. Blast away. Do not worry about your partner, as he can take
care of himself. If things get too rough, go upstairs and take out the
zombies. When things start getting too hot, the zombies will back off. When
you exit and pull the lever, you will have a choice to make. The left way
takes you to the Chainsaw Sisters. The right way takes you to a giant
zombie. When you take the left way you will be in a mine. Hide Ashley in an
iron box near by. When you get down to the lower level, the Chainsaw Sisters
will appear. Go head back to the entrance and fire at them with the shotgun.
When they are dead, pick up the ruby and the Camp Key. If you chose to go to
the right, you will encounter a huge zombie. Drop a bolder on him then run
and shoot the chains off the door and get the Old Key. Drop another bolder
on the zombie to stun him. You cannot stash Ashley on this level. Make sure
that she gets first aid. When the parasite appears, slice it off.
Hint:
Castle: Broken Butterfly: When you are in the area where you are just about see the
intermission sequence with Luis dying, there will be a door that lets you
know that you will need another person for it. After you get Ashley back,
return to this door. Give Ashley a piggyback and she will open the door.
Inside will be a lot of treasure, and the powerful Broken Butterfly. You do
not have to buy it from the merchant or sell it for money.
Note: The strongest Magnum is
not the Killer 7. When you tune up and buy the exclusive option of the
Broken Butterfly its power will increase to 50
Hint:
Castle: Knights: When you are on the board to get the King's grail, you will
become trapped in the place with the knights. For the first round of
knights, use the shotgun. If you have a Magnum, do not use it yet. The
second round comes with feathers on their heads. Use the magnum (Killer 7
recommended). In the room should be a Green Herb and ten shotgun shells.
Collect them and the grail.
Hint:
Castle: Easy money: Look behind every painting of Saddler to find 5,000 Pesetas.
Hint:
Castle: Flying insect nest: If you are in the castle and have passed the sequence where
spikes come down to you, shoot the red lights. After that, you will be in a
big room with a giant flying insects nest. A sequence will begin where one
flying insect captures Ashley from you. In the middle of the room hangs a
big nest of them. Shoot the nest with two magnum bullets. A sequence with
the nest will falling down will begin. Pick up the items that sparkle on the
ground and sell them for a big price to the merchant.
Hint:
Cemetery: Eye in the sky: When you reach the cemetery part of the town, kill the two
Ganados, then stand in the middle of the cemetery. Look up and
"seek" for an eye-like thing. It seems to be reactions of the
Illuminado's blood on Leon's body.
Hint:
Church: Getting the Green Catseye: In Chapter 1-3 in the church, turn right. Go to the small path at
the back of the church. You will see a blinking object. Get near it, then
press X to check. After that, first rotate seven times using option
3, another five times using option 4, then one more time with option 3. You
will hear a sound and can now get the Green Catseye.
Hint:
Church: Unlimited villagers: When you first get to the church, defeat everyone in the area.
Then, return to the church and shoot the bell above. Villagers will arrive
in a groups of three to six Gonados. You can continue this process as you
see fit.
Hint:
Church: Getting items: After you get the key after being choked by Chief Mendez, gi to
the church and kill everyone. You can then shoot the bell above the church.
You should hear "There! He is there!" and a group of Gonados
should be in the graveyard. This process can be repeated five times or less,
but they drop items for your inventory.
Hint:
Church: Revenge: After you rescue Ashley from the church and the intermission
sequence where two Goth Gonados fire upon you, you can go back inside and
get revenge.
Hint:
Church: Ring bell: At the church where you rescue ashley, you can shoot at the bell
outside and it will ring.
Hint:
Farmhouse: Surviving the raid: An intermission sequence will start when you are escorting Ashley
across a bridge. A large crowd shows up and you will run into a farmhouse.
After the sequence ends and you are inside the house with Lou, push the
bookcases in front of the windows and go to the bottom of the staircase.
Using the shotgun is recommended, but the pistol works fine. Once they are
able to gain entrance to the house, aim high and fire until they are all
knocked down. Then, reload and repeat until Lou tells you to head up stairs.
When you do this, go over to the windows and knock down the ladders. After
that is done, go to the edge of the stairs and kill everyone that is coming
up Grenades work the best for this. After they are taken care of, rush back
to the windows and knock down the ladders once again. Repeat this until the
sequence plays when they retreat.
Once in the farmhouse, collect
all the items while pushing the shelves against the windows. Stand in the
corner by the stairs with Luis and fire until he tells you to go upstairs.
Once up, stand in northwest corner (when facing down the stairs), and
concentrate on firing in the direction of the stairs and pushing down the
two ladders in that corner so that you do not become surrounded.
Because the raid continues
until you kill a certain number, block two windows and shoot out the third
until the enemies break in. Then, block the third window and deal with the
other two. This allows you to get several kills in before it starts getting
hectic.
Hint:
Sewer: Black Bass recovery: You can kill the fish and use them as recovery items in the sewer
area shortly after the beginning of Chapter 1-2. It is a little after the
place where you face the two enemies who throw dynamite at you.
Hint:
Mercenaries mini-game: Village: Easy completion: Go to the top of the barn (located next to the house where you
found the shotgun in the main game). There is also a timer under the ladder,
and a chest above, and up the ladder. Go up there and wait for the Los
Illuminados to come to you. When they are mostly packed in, shoot the barrel
inside and jump down quickly. Get what they dropped. Get back up the ladder
and repeat. Note: Do not throw a grenade while there is a flame barrel down
there; it will not do twice the damage. Also, be careful of the Chainsaw
Hags that appear. They will cut off your head if you get too close. It is
best if you are Hunk or Krauser to use the neck break; and the
transformation of Krauser's arm, which kills them in one hit. With Ada or
Wesker, use their sniper rifles until they are both gone, then jump down,
With Leon try grenades, but it is very difficult.
Hint:
Chapter 2-1 puzzle: Before the end of the chapter, there is a puzzle in the church.
The puzzle is a simple mix of colors. Three different designs surround the
main design. The colors are red, green, and blue. When you enter the church,
turn to the left and go down the little hall. Climb the ladder. When you are
up there, you will see that the way to the door is barred. You must get to
the other side of the church by jumping on and off of the chandelier. On the
other side, there is a set of switches. When you activate it, the puzzle
starts. The goal is to turn the designs so when combined, they are the same
as the middle design. Turn red twice, green three times, and blue once. When
combined, it should create the design. Then, go in and grab Ashley.
Hint:
Chapter 2-2: Ashley hiding: When you reach the farm, there will be a metal crane at the
entrance. You can tell Ashley to hide by pressing X in front of the
crane.
Hint:
Chapter 3-2 puzzle: In Chapter 3-2 you must solve a puzzle to continue. The puzzle
states that six lives should be sacrificed to show you the true path. Look
at the paintings and try to put the ones that have two men on the guillotine
and the other two paintings should have two bodies hanging. After you
assemble the paintings, select "OK" and a door should appear.
Hint:
Chapter 3-2: Defeating the sewer insects: In Chapters 3-2, immediately after Ashley helps you get to the
other side of the room, she gets trapped in a wall and gets sent to another
room. The wooden door next to you will lead you to sewers that are infested
with insects. To kill the insects, you must have a regular sniper upgraded
two or three times its firepower, or the shotgun upgraded two or three times
its firepower. When you start take out your sniper and go all the way to the
end, aim at the corner in the opposite wall. You should see drool. Shoot the
drool and it should reveal the insect. If it is not dead, shoot it again in
the head. It should die. Alternately, take out your shotgun and point at the
drool. Shoot it three or four times. Do this to the rest of the insects and
it should kill them.
Hint:
Chapter 3-4 puzzle: The quickest way to complete the puzzle as Ashley in 3-4 is as
follows. The layout of the puzzle's squares is referred as:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Press A on the following
in this order: 4, 7, 8, 9, 6, 3, 1, 7, 9.
Hint:
Easy kills: After you kill the hatchet guy as soon as you start the game, go
upstairs to the window. Do not jump out. Instead, take out your pistol and
shoot the glass out. Then, carefully aim for the villagers' heads that are
awaiting outside. There are three of them. If you kill all three, you can
jump out and avoid any damage.
Hint:
Two routes: Soon after the farmhouse, look around to collect some ammunition
and buy more items. After that, go to an opening where you see a lever. Go
up to it and switch it to the right to fight El Gigante (recommended) or
switch it to the left to face more chainsaw wielding villagers (extremely
difficult). If you select to fight El Gigante, aim at the rock at the top
ledge until he is underneath it and fire. Use the same tactic on the one you
dealt with earlier.
Hint:
Destroying the insect nest: In the area where Ashley is carried away by the flying insects,
you can destroy the nest that is hanging from the ceiling. After it is
destroyed, you will find a lot of green and red eyes, and if you are lucky,
even a blue one. This is a good way to get the Butterfly Lamp filled with
all three jewels early so that you can get some extra money for upgrades.
Hint:
Valuable jewels: Around the village, some trees will have bird nests. Shoot them
off to get valuable jewels to sell to the merchant.
Hint:
Crown Jewels: Kill Salazar's "right hand" that you need to use the
liquid nitrogen tanks on to receive the "Crown Jewels". which fit
into the "Crown" treasure item. This is difficult; try using the
Chicago Typewriter.
Hint:
Easy money: Once you gain access to the tunnel with the merchant beyond
Pueblo, return to the farm area and wait for the chickens there to lay eggs.
Exit and re-enter to begin the same process over again. After you fill your
inventory, you can return to the nearby merchant to sell your eggs. White
chicken eggs sell for 300 Pesetas, brown eggs for 600 Pesetas, and golden
eggs for 3,000 Pesetas.
In the beginning, do not sell
the beer stein. Then, get the red, green, and yellow cats eye. Do not sell
the decorative mask until you get the three pendants. If done correctly,
they should be worth 20,000 Pesetas each.
Hint:
Quick money or more health: If you mix a Green, Red, and Yellow Herb, you can sell it for a
lot of money, or use it to restore health and increase the maximum health.
Use it when you are low on health so that you do not waste the health
recovery from it.
Hint:
Save health at start: While at the beginning after killing the man with the axe, run up
the stairs. Do not jump out. Turn around and get the handgun bullets. Then,
shoot the window until it breaks. Try to kill the two men outside of the
window. If you do not kill them, they will run to the front door. After
that, run back down the stairs and you should see a window. Dive out of this
window. You will see the men inside the house. The door is still closed.
Kill the three men and you can go on the trail with full health.
Hint:
Secret treasures: If you want the secret treasures in the areas, go to the merchant
and buy the treasure map. Check the map. The treasures will displayed as a
star. If you cannot see them while you are standing by an star, check around
and look for something sparkling. Then, shoot it and grab your treasure.
Hint:
Pearl Pendant: When first starting the game, shoot the pendant (above the smelly
well) and tap X repeatedly. You will grab it before it lands in the
water. This boosts the selling price to 10,000 Pesetas.
Close to the start of the game
there is a pendant with a value that will decrease by 9,000 Pesetas, if
dropped in water. To keep it as the Pearl Pendant instead of the Brass
Pocketwatch, shoot the block that is holding the well open, then shoot the
pendant down to pick it up off the top of the well cover. It will sell for
10,000 Pesetas.
When trying to get the Pearl
Pendant, you do not need to press X repeatedly. Instead, look for the
stick which is holding the well's lid up. Shoot it and it will close without
you having to try to grab it.
Hint:
Snake eggs: If you see a snake after smashing boxes, kill it. You will get a
chicken egg for health. Note: If you do not kill the snake it will bite you
and take health away.
Hint:
Golden egg: At the beginning of the game, if you leave a hen alone in Pueblo
they should lay at least one golden egg. Go to the weapon/health screen and
select the egg. It should allow you to equip the egg. At the screen, Leon
will throw the egg up and down, looking smug.
The golden egg is the best
healing item, as it gives you a full heal and only takes one space in your
case.
Hint:
Eggs for Ashley: There are three types of eggs, white, brown, and golden. Collect
these, equip them, and fire on Ashley. They will not harm her and it is
funny. Aim from a distance to get used to them. They are lighter than a
grenade and fly far when thrown. Note: She will duck when in close
proximity.
Hint:
Throwing eggs:: Whenever you kill a snake, a chicken egg will be your reward.
Move the pointer on to a white chicken egg, and there will be an
"Equip" option. When you equip the egg, Leon is shown on the
inventory screen tossing the egg up into the air and then catching it.
Furthermore, if you exit the screen and continue playing, Leon will throw
the egg if you press R1 then X, as per the protocol of aiming
his firearm. The egg will fly very far and will not affect anyone.
Hint:
Crowd control with the TMP: Shoot out the legs of everyone, then unload on their heads while
they are lying on their faces.
Hint:
Saving ammunition with the TMP: Do not hold X . Just keep tapping it.
Hint:
Recommended handguns: In terms of power, the Red 9 is the most powerful handgun. It has
about power 6 or 8 when you get the exclusive upgrade for it. It has decent
speed, and good capacity (20 rounds full upgrade). The Punisher is good for
crowd control because of the penetrating rounds, but otherwise use the Red
9. The normal 9mm Handgun in the beginning is average, although it is best
with headshots because the exclusive upgrade raises the critical headshot
ratio. The Blacktail has no obvious weaknesses or strengths, and is a very
versatile gun. The best handgun is the Red 9. Its power, speed, and lots of
ammunition make it a very good choice. Fully upgraded, the Red 9 has about
the power of the shotgun in every round.
Hint:
Recommended "clear" weaponry: Do not waste your time going through Mercenaries mode solely for
the Handcannon. It has limited ammunition and takes too long to acquire and
upgrade to usefulness. The Infinite Rocket Launcher is much better, as it
kills enemies faster, kills more enemies at a time, and has the bonus of
going into first person zoom mode. Also, get the Chicago Typewriter. When
large groups of enemies get too close, the IRL explosion could kill you. The
fully upgraded Broken Butterfly is recommended over the Handcannon.
Ammunition is much more plentiful, especially on replays. Also, the reload
and general feel of the Broken Butterfly is preferred over the Handcannon.
It also forces you to play strategically, due to its limitations (occasional
ammunition scarcity, reload times, etc.). Avoiding the Handcannon gives you
more opportunities and money to have fun with your original weapons.
Upgrading the original shotgun, pistol, and rifle, and playing through are
generally more fun than going through Mercenaries mode plus the main game
just to upgrade one weapon.
Hint:
Selling items: If you plan to sell two or more herbs or other items that can be
combined, combine them first and do not sell them separately. This will
result in a small boost in the total selling price when compared to what it
would have been if you sold them separately.
Hint:
Sell the rocket launcher (special) to the merchant: This trick involves the unlimited rocket launcher (costs one
million Pesetas completing the game. When you fight Saddler and Ada throws
you the rocket launcher (special), take it, but do not use it. When you can
get a clear shot to his main eye, use the regular unlimited launcher.
Saddler will be killed and the rocket launcher (special) will be yours to
keep. When you start a new game, you can sell it to the merchant.
Hint:
Killing the merchant: You can kill the merchant at any time in the game. Under the
normal difficulty setting, he just dies then comes back at the next place,
or when you leave the room and come back in. However, under the professional
difficulty setting, once he dies, he remains dead. When you see the merchant
and his eyes are glowing red, you can take the mine thrower and shoot a
couple of darts. Most of the time he will turn into a blood stain on the
floor.
Hint:
More items: When running around different areas of the village, you will see
crows. Pick them off from a distance as to not scare the others away. They
usually drop Pesetas. Note: If you scare some away, just re-enter the area
to reset their position.
Hint:
Avoid damage from traps: To avoid getting hurt by traps such as explosives and bear traps,
use your laser sight and shoot at the explosive or the middle of the trap.
Hint:
Aim faster: Use the D-pad and Analog-stick together to aim
faster than normal.
Hint:
Open doors faster: Tap X(2) when the "Open" action appears to kick
open or down some doors instead of nudging them by hand. This will give you
an advantage, as any enemies behind the door will be sent flying back.
Hint:
Opening locks: There are many locks on doors. Instead of shooting the locks and
wasting ammunition, pull out your knife and cut it off. The same can be done
for boxes.
Hint:
Finding items: To find items, smash all of the crates with either your knife or
a gun.
Hint:
Extra ammunition: Wait until you are low on ammunition before upgrading a gun. The
replacement gun will always have a full clip, giving you extra bullets that
otherwise may be difficult to find.
Hint:
Weapon upgrades: When buying upgrades for your gun, always look at your gun
information beforehand. For example, if your gun has a gunpower of 10.8 and
you see that the upgrade reads lvl 2 --> 10.5, you are basically losing
out and wasting money.
Hint:
Annoy Ashley: When Ashley is on a cliff or still up a ladder, you can aim your
gun up at her. She will grab her skirt and call you a pervert.
Hint:
Extra scene: When Leon is being choked, he will be told that he has the same
blood. Leave the room, then return. You will be choked again by same person,
only this time Ada comes to the rescue.
Hint:
Rainbow: At the end of the game, as Leon and Ashley fall into the water on
the speedboat, you can see a rainbow for a few seconds.
Hint:
See Ada Wong early: When you are walking in the room in the village, you will see an
intermission sequence where the chief chokes Leon, but then lets him live
because he has the same blood as them. After it ends, go back in the same
room where he just choked you. He will pop out from behind and step on you.
Then, he gets shot with two bullets. When he turns around, Ada is at the
window in a black costume, and she escapes quickly. Note: The middle of the
castle level is where you actually meet her for the first time.
Hint:
Leon speaking Spanish: To hear Leon speak Spanish, go to where he fights Chief Mendez
(Big Cheese). Dodge his move and listen to Leon. He will say "Esta
Luego" although his version is "Esta Loego".
Hint:
Leon shows off: Wear Leon's gangster costume and have the Chicago Typewriter as a
weapon. Hold R1 then press Square. Leon will take off his hat,
re-adjust it, then put it back in place. Repeat this until he throws his hat
in the air, catches it, then strikes a pose.
Hint:
Saddler comment: Listen closely when you kill the villagers. Some of them will say
"Lord Saddler" as they reach out just before they die. Note: This
may only happen after completion of the game.
Hint:
Separate Ways: Defeating Krauser: To complete Separate Ways you need five times which look like
little containers. Once you have four you will encounter Krauser. He will
jump down and attack you. Defeat him using the same tactics used during the
last battle of Krauser with Leon. Krauser will keep coming back for more.
Stab and shoot him with a shotgun. Go back through the last door and use the
sniper rifle to shoot Krauser's legs and expose his head. Then, shoot his
head and repeat the process until he fires a flash grenade. Pick up the
container. You can now purchase the Tommy Gun from the merchant for one
million Pesatas.
Hint:
Mercenaries mini-game: The main monsters to look out for are the two chainsaw ladies on
stage 1. Once you kill them, they keep coming back. On stage 2 and 3 be
careful of the guys with the chain guns. On stage 4, there is a super
chainsaw man. He is bigger than the normal one and has a twin bladed saw. He
is almost impossible to stop. He does not climb ladders. He jumps to where
he needs to be. He will run at you, swinging the saw. Do not run past him.
Turn and jump down if you can, or climb something quickly. If you really
want to get past him, try using Jack Krauser's transformation, and aim right
at him. If you miss, you are dead.
Krauser's transformation will
kill anyone in one hit as long as you are close enough. Also Flash Bang,
Kick are very good for crowds with Krauser. These two things will make
Krauser the easiest to get five stars with.
Hint:
Mercenaries mini-game: WaterWorld: Defeating the twin chainsaw maniacs:
As Leon, first off look and
know exactly where the large tower is located with the very long ladder
and the two shorter ones. When you start to hear a chainsaw twin, try to
get eye contact with him first to know where he is. Next, run towards the
tower and do not worry about any other Ganados. Run to the shorter two
ladder and start climbing the first ladder. Run all the way to the end of
the floor and jump down to where the time extend is found. Run away from
the ladders and wait for the twin to jump down. If he does not (usually
when you are too far away from the ladders), try moving backwards and
forwards towards the ladders and away from them. Once you see the twin
jump down, use your shotgun and shoot for the legs. If done correctly, he
will get stunned for a moment for every shot you hit him with. This gives
you the chance to keep shooting without worrying about him coming at you.
If he for some reason turns around and comes at you, turn, jump down, and
try again. You can also use grenades to knock him down, but it is a lot
easier to just shoot him in the legs.
Ada is one of the easiest
characters to use against the twins. Do the same thing as in the Leon
strategy, except instead of a shotgun, use the sniper rifle. Aim for the
legs and he will always fall down. Shoot him while he is down. Then, wait
for him to get up.
Jack is another easy
character to work with. Use your mutant power on him. One shot and he is
dead. If you are having trouble because of the Ganados, use a flash
grenade. Note: If you go to the tower you will get very little Ganados
after you.
Hunk is the most difficult
character to use. Do the same thing as in the Leon strategy, only this
time use grenades on the twins (as his gun is useless against them). Try
to knock them down and go all out with his TMP.
Wesker uses the exact same
strategy as Ada. Although the Magnum may appear the best weapon to use,
its slow reload and lack of bullets limits this. Try using the sniper and
watch him fall and die in four or five shots.
Hint:
Interesting death sequences: Note: Save before each encounter before trying to see the
following death scenes.
"It":
"It" has three ways of killing Leon. The first is when he is on
the roof. He will grab Leon and snap his neck. Another is when he has the
scissors tail. He will grab Leon by the legs and cut him in half. The
finwl way happens after the three cages fall and the final fight on the
cliff side begins. Shoot him until he goes underground. Allow him to kill
you when he pops from under you.
Betrayal: When you are in the
cabin surrounded by Ganados, shoot Luis Sera about five to eight times. An
intermission sequence will begin.
Chief Mendez: In the barn
fight, do not evade his grab in the intermission sequence.
Crocodile: After getting
knocked out of the boat, swim back until you are just in reach of the
boat. The crocodile will appear from underneath.
Crocodile: When killed, do
not cut the rope.
Crocodile: Immediately before
you fight the crocodile, stand on the dock near by the boat (the one
exactly before the Boss fight). Shoot the fish in the water. The crocodile
will come up and eat Leon.
Del Lago: Stand on the dock
by the lake where you fight the giant alligator (Del Lago). Fire your
shotgun into the water several times. Eventually, Del Lago will come out
and eat you.
Luis Seras: When in the house
with Luis Seras, keep shooting Luis. Eventually an intermission sequence
will show Luis shooting Leon twice, then Leon will fall to the floor and
die.
Giant insects: Let them vomit
on you.
Knife fight: At the end, let
him press the knife through the cavity.
Molotov cocktails: In the
beginning of the game, go up the ladder into the tower and wait the
villagers want to burn you alive.
Prison Boss: Have low life
and let him kill you with the first hit of his charge. He should impale
you twice.
Regenerators: Both normal and
spiked varieties have their own style of killing Leon.
Trap door floor: Salazaar
will enjoy sending the spikes impaling Scott Kennedy.
Two Los Gigantos: In the
magma floor/pool, activate the switch and stand next to the pool.
Wolves: When they jump on
you, they will ravage your face. Once Leon is killed, look at their teeth.
Decapitation: After
completing the game once, play the Mercenaries game. Go to the water level
and run around until you meet a man with a double chainsaw. Stand near him
and your head will be cut clean off.
Before you face the lake
monster, go to the top end of the dock where the boat is located. Fire
your weapon of choice into the water.
In Chapters 1 and 2 when the
Ganado with the axe comes in, do not press anything. The Ganado will cut
Leon and Luis and the screen will be covered in blood.
Hint:
Hidden intermission sequence: After defeating Del Lago (crocodile), after the intermission
sequence, go back across the lake where you got the boat. Head up the trail.
An intermission sequence should begin. Leon will be surrounded by wolves.
Note: You can also go back that way and fight El Gigante, but you must go
all the way back to get the Insignia for the church.
After the intermission sequence
with the Big Cheese stating that Leon has similar blood to the villagers,
play through the next area but then back track. Try to go through the same
house again to see another intermission sequence with the Big Cheese. This
is the sequence with the first appearance of the "woman in the red
dress".
Hint:
Hiding the number of times killed ratio: To avoid seeing a number of times killed, continue until you get
to a chapter end. When instructed to save, cancel the saving process.
Hint: P.N.
03 reference: In the Mercenaries mini-game, play as John Krauser or Hunk.
Notice that both of the character's theme songs are from P.N. 03
levels.
