Overview
Simple but very effective ways to make your game run a lot easier. Spesh for professional mode.
Tips.
1) Never upgrade your starting weapons. IE. Pistol, shotgun and sniper. It’s not worth the money unless you want to do a run with those weapons.
2) Don’t just sell gems, IE catseyes. You can combine them with other things and make them so much more better to sell.
3) Don’t go crazy with your ammo, simple shot to the head then kick. Or knife.
4) Don’t sell the combinations of a green herb, red and yellow. Use them to max out your health. (Don’t use for Ashley)
5) Regenerators. Don’t use ammo, don’t even use the scope you get for them. Sell it. Simple shotgun shell to the leg then knife it as it’s down 50-100 times. Easy money.
6) Fish. if you have the space after you’ve killed the boss in the lake. Get back in the boat and use the spear things to kill them.
7) Don’t buy the Killer 7. Unless you love it. Use Ashley to get the free broken butterfly and use that.
8) Ignore the mine thrower. It’s as useless as the mine thrower in Resident Evil 3 in the clocktower.
9) When entering the village. Don’t run straight into the house to activate the cut scene. If you shot the bird on the lamp thing before hand, use the grenade on Dr Sal. IE. Run past the house. Straight up the path to the exit you use after you kill them all. Use the grenade to kill the two enemies and to knock Dr Sal down. Follow by knifing him 8-10 times. Get the ruby, run past everyone and enter the house to activate the cut scene.
10) After you get Ashley and leave the church. Go back in to kill the two enemies for some nice money. be careful. They have crossbows.
11) After you talk with Hunnigan by the church. After going down the cat walks. Going through ther next door. Use a flash grenade on the bunch of birds. You’ll get a flash grenade back and some money.
12) Save explosive grenades up. Don’t use them. Keep them for El Gigante (I think that’s his name:P)
13) Save fire grenades. Don’t use them. Keep them for The Big Cheese.
14) When you get to the castle. Sell the first shotgun and buy the rot shotgun. Keep it to the end of the game skipping the striker. Unless you like it more of course.
15) After the cabin fight you’ll get a choise on which way to go. Left is tons of enemies and two chainsaw chicks. Right is another EL Gigante fight. I suggest going Right. It will take about 150 TMP bullets and a grenade to kill him. Left takes time and too much bullets.
16) In the castle you’ll find a rocket launcher with ammo around it. Don’t take it yet. Leave it, buy the bigger Attache Case. Go back for it and keep it untl the end of the Castle for the boss fight. Finish him with one rocket.
17) When you enter the castle, before fighting the garrador. (Think that’s the name, basically the guy with claws) Use the prison key. Have Ashley, WAIT on the stairs. Don’t have her coming down with you or it’s game over. Simple. Run around, shoot the bells. Shoot his back till death. Just stay away from his front or gg. Also when i say run. I mean walk. He’s attracted to sound, so try not to run.
18) Fighting the garrador in the cage. Before entering the room, pull out your shotgun. After he’s jumped down fire at the lock till it opens and run around the cage to the other room where you shot the wine bottle. Kill the two enemies that came though, enter the room with the cage and the garrador and two enemies should be stuck on the door with the other padlock. (Glitch i just found xD) Keep shooting his back with a pistol. He’ll keep turning for you to shoot it. If he didn’t get
stuck then yeah. Run around the room that has the wine bottle and fight him like the first time. ALSO! Go through the doorway where the wine bottle is, some magnum bullets are there!
19) Entering the maze. Easiest thing for me is running around using the tmp. If you’ve been upgrading it, it should only take 14 bullets. Pointless using shotgun.
20) Check Saddler paintings around the castle. Most contain gold.
21) When you get to the hive. You’ll know it when you see it. Fire some magnum or tmp bullets at it for it to drop a lot of stuff. Including the important blue eye.
Just simple tips i could think of at the top of my head from when i was younger. Hope it helps people that haven’t played before!
