LEON'S A SHOWOFF
Wear Leon's gangster costume and have the Chicago Typewriter as a weapon.
Hold R1 and 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.

Cocktail tower
When you first enter the village and you have to kill the people DO NOT climb in the tower just passed the chainsaw guy's house. they will throw flaming cocktails at you. you can't die but you will have pretty much no health.

Easy way to kill Salazar!
Right when scene is over go all the way to the right and shoot the tenicle with your shotgun or tmp then just use your sniper to shoot the big eye on the tenicle in the middle, repeat the process a couple times and then when it shows Salazar use your rocket launcher if you bought one from merchant outside if you didn't just use your magnum and repeat...............but remember the tenicle on the right comes back so shoot it!

Get the punisher
To get punisher shoot 10 medalion and talk to the merchant and go to buy screen and you dont have buy with cash you will get free punisher

Yeah, i'm a pro
The best way to complete the game in Professional mode is to first
complete the Separate Ways mini-game. You will unlock Ashley's knight
costume and Leon's gangster costume. Selecting Ashley's knight costume
makes Professional mode a lot easier. Ashley cannot be injured or carried
away. Use her for bait when needed. At least half the enemies will go
directly for her, giving you time to kill them and keep your distance from
a crowd. This also works well on El Gigante.

Control title screen
At the title screen, press the Right Analog-stick to move the background.
Press R1 to zoom in or L1 to zoom out.

VALUABLE GEMS
When around the village stage, some trees will have bird nests. Shoot them
down to get valuable jewels to sell to the merchant.

2 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.

KILLING LARGE CROWDS WITH TMP
Shoot out the legs of everyone, then unload on their heads while they are
lying on their faces.

BIRD HUNT
Throw a flash grenade in the middle of a group of birds. All of them will
die instantly, leaving lots of gold. This also works with the Granadas
when their heads are transformed.

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.

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. Additionally, 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 50.0, far stronger than
the Killer 7's 35.0. You can kill a Boss in four shots.

COMPLETION BONUS 1

Beating U3/IT on a PS2
If you have a ps2 like I do, then beating U3/ IT isn't really easy/ Once you get out of the maze and onto safe ground, you dive through the door. Run around the rock and blow the barrel up in his face. Run to the lever and open it, on the other side close it, locking him behind it. This gives you, about 6 seconds, run around past the next barrel. It will burst through and blow that up in his face. Run through the next gate, close it. Agian you have about 6 seconds. When he bust through you want to hit the worm that is above his head, not him, kill the worm you kill him. You should have a rocket launcher, if not, get one. Back up and hit him he should fall. Run because he'll get back up, Next hit him with your striker as many times as you can, make sure it's the worm not him! That should kill for good.

MT : Bang kick
This glitch will happens more effective if theres only one enemy in the area,shot the target head with MT and wait for an oportunity to kick him / her,until the dot blink several times (around 8 times) and then kick it.when you kick it,the target will explode.

This is actually an easter egg
Jump down a ledge when you have found ashley and go to fire your gun but don't actually fire, point it up ashleys skirt and wait.

Before fight saddler there is a merchant buy rocket launcher then go to the building to fight saddler use shotgun or riot gun or striker to make him dizzy then go a little far to use rocket launcher to kill saddler then ada give leon a special rocket launcher. use it to kill saddler.

Easy way to defeat the boss
Here are some tips based on my experience playing RE4 (normal and professional level):


DEL LAGO: hit Del Lago when it don't drag you near the trees.

EL GIGANTE: The most effective weapon for beating el gigante is TMP, so make sure you have sufficient amount of TMP ammo. shoot el gigante till the parasite come out of his back, then use knife, for normal level it took only 4 attemp to defeat el gigante.

RIGHT-GATE EL GIGANTE: same as above

LEFT SIDE EL PASO (chainsaw at the camp) : First, kill all the weakling while avoiding the chainsaw. I ussualy employ the hit and run tactic using shotgun (one hit and then run). after all the weakling gone, lure the el paso (two of them) to the ground, then climb the stair quickly. after that you can just let them climb the stair and knock down the stair repeatedly. Sure it took some time to kill them but it safe tou LOTS of ammo

CHIEF BITORES MENDEZ: In the Chief's first form, use Grenades to damage him. On his second, use either TMP or Flash Grenades to bring him to the floor, then blast him with a Shotgun.

GARRADOR: Lure the Garrador to attack you while you are near the wall. wait for his claw to stuck at the wall blast him with shotgun/magnum/rifle. You can also distract him with the bell, you can knife it or shot it with handgun. And make sure you walk, don't run or else he'll hear you

CAGE GARRADOR: Quickly break the lock using shotgun, then get out. Get rid of the weakling (the monks). Kill the Garrador using the same tactic as above

King Grail Knight : Make sure you have at least 3 flash granade. This is really essential, cause once the head gone you can get rid of the ganados by throwing your flash grenade

DOS GARRADORES: Get rid of the monks first. Then you deal with the garrados one at a time. Use your magnum at close range shot to maximize the kill damage

VERDUGO: Now actually it's very easy if you haven't use the rocket launcher that you get from before. Use the liquid nitrogen to freeze him then shot him with rocket launcher..done!

DOS GIGANTES: Get rid one gigantes by pulling the lever the lava pit. Careful not too close to the lava pit bacause the gigantes will drag you to the lava pit. After that deal with the second gigantes using the tactic same as I write before

Salazar statue rampage : Make sure you shot the lock on the door (using riffle) before the statue chase you. It will make you less panic when the you reach the door :P

RAMON SALAZAR: Buy rocket launcher from the mercenaries outside. Shot the eye one time with magnum until salazar leave exposed. SHot him with rocket launcher...DONE!

"IT": This is the one that I hated the most. Only use big damage weapon to deal with this thing (shotgun/granade launcher/magnum). Maximze the use of red drum (explosive material) by lure him near it.

JACK KRAUSER: Forget Magnum as the most effective weapon to defeat krauser. One word... KNIFE! I found it the most effective weapon to defeat him in close range. Make sure you knife him at the right time, timing is really essential here. The tricky part actually is when he shot you with explosive and TMP, you have to hit him first with riffle or TMP in order to lure him closer to you.

OSMOND SADDLER: The most essential thing to defeat saddler is your aiming. always aim for the eye in his feet. after the main eye come out you can balst it with your magnum. DO it several time until Aida gave you the rocket launcher.


The most essential thing in this game is actually your ammo management, especially the big gun ammo (TMP/shotgun/magnum/riffle). I strongly recommend you to maximize your handgun. Always aim for the head or the foot.

Kill regenerator monster fast
Throw a hand granade/fire granade at it ,then shoot it with a fully upgraded shotgun.

Legs n heads
Sometimes shooting the legs is better cuz enemies can fall n you will be able to
shoot an enemies head n pop it.

Deth by el gigante... IN LAVA!!!!
At the lava place wen you fight the 2 El Gigante. trap 1 in the lava pit and go near it befor it closes an he will pop up and pull you in the lava! its really cool

Pills to change zombie
U can get 3 pills to combine and use the 'zombie' power...


1=play professional level
2=don't die
3=go to the labatory to fine the 3 pills

hope you all can found it...

Run1.3 times faster then normal
Equip the striker gun and right before the laser sight turns on quickly press the start button and equip another gun .this cheat will stop working when you open a door and when you equip the striker again.

Ultimate Boss Tips
Here I will give you the best tip I can for each boss. Hope it helps:

DEL LAGO: Do not try and hit Del Lago when you are near the trees. Anywhere else, throw a harpoon whenever you can.

EL GIGANTE: Shoot El Gigante with your TMP, and wait for the wolf. When the wolf appears, ignore El Gigante and start raiding the huts. Then equip your Shotgun and blast away. DO NOT shoot the parasite. Knife it using the X prompt.

RIGHT-GATE EL GIGANTE: See above.

CHIEF BITORES MENDEZ: In the Chief's first form, use Hand and Incendiary Grenades to damage him. On his second, use either TMP or Flash Grenades to bring him to the floor, then blast him with a Shotgun.

GARRADOR: Not really any tips here to be honest. Don't use Shotguns or the Rifle to shoot the bells, don't run or walk directly behind the Garrador, and don't use Grenades.

CAGE GARRADOR: No tip required, you don't even need to kill it. However if you insist, make sure you don't engage it INSIDE the cage.

DOS GARRADORES: Get rid of the monks first, they'll only cause trouble. Try and focus on just one Garrador at a time. Don't bother with the bells.

VERDUGO: Probably the most infuriating boss in the game. Now, you don't HAVE to kill it, but it makes your job harder if you just try and avoid it. Take advantage of the nitrogen tanks whenever you can and use your Magnum when he's frozen.

DOS GIGANTES: You probably already know by now that you can pull the lever to tip one of the Gigantes in the lava pit. AFTER the pit has closed, you can engage the second in combat, using your Shotgun and TMP.

RAMON SALAZAR: Move to the left/right side of the room and use your TMP (not your Rifle) to shoot Salazar's eye. Then use your Magnum or Rifle to shoot Salazar when he appears. Under no circumstances should you jump in the pit.

U3: This boss is a really slimy bugger. I won't give you any tips for the cage fight, as that should be fairly obvious. For the big fight though, be sure to use your Magnum, and your Minethrower works well too. Don't bother using the gates.

JACK KRAUSER: Now this is a fight. Incredibley difficult if you don't have the right weaponary. What you should have however are Hand Grenades and a Magnum ready. Don't forget your dodging manouvers.

OSMOND SADDLER: Right then, this is the biggie. The clincher. And you know what? It's not really that hard. The eyes are your target so use a simple handgun to shoot them, knife Saddler in the eye, then go and grab the Rocket Launcher that Ada chucks at you, and fire it at him. Bingo! Job done!

Bridge kills

Chapter 2-2 Barricade Scene (HINT)
HINT TO SURVIVE WITH NO DAMAGE TAKEN:


Climb the stairs, giving the floor to the top and collect everything you can, hoping that Ganados come. Put yourself at the top of the stairs to shoot the Ganados, which are unable to reach you, if you're a player at least middle class.
Stay alert at the top floor windows, as several Ganados can climb the stairs and surprise you. Not empty down the stairs, just to shoot them and make them fall, not to lose control on the floor from below.
When Luis Sera walk up to the top, everything becomes easier, because you have a cover. Throw some grenades when you need and when you see you're losing control, (this does not happen much, but it is possible) keeps you close to the Luis Sera, stopped, but the running order for all sides to avoid surprises.
When I come to this part, I usually pass this without receiving damage.

Jump out the window closest to where you found the shotgun, and head right, around the house. Turn around and wait for your enemies. It's easy because they can't sneak up behind you.

Once they are all dead, head through the tunnel in the cart shoot the villagers before they jump into your cart (Stay in the back cart to make it easier).

CHICAGO TYPEWRITER
Successfully complete the Separate Ways mini-game to unlock the Chicago
Typewriter (Tommy gun with infinite ammunition) for purchase (for 1
million Pesetas).

BONUS CHARACTERS
Get a four star rank in the following areas to unlock the corresponding
character in the Mercenaries mini-game:
Ada Wong: Pueblo
Albert Wesker: Waterworld
Hunk: Island Commando Base
Jack Krauser: Castle

MERECENARIES -all about them tips.
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.

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.

DEATH SCENES
Note: Save your game before each encounter when trying to see the
following death scenes:

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.

Del Lago (before fighting him): 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.

Del Lago (when fighting him): After getting knocked out of the boat, swim
back until you are just in reach of the boat. Del Lago will appear from
underneath. Additionally, after killing Del Lago, do not cut the rope.

Giant insects: Let them vomit on you.

"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.

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 for the villagers 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.

Two Los Gigantes: In the magma floor/pool, activate the switch and stand
next to the pool.

Trap door floor: Let Leon fall through the trap door that Salazar actives.

Wolves: When they jump on you, they will ravage your face. Once Leon is
killed, look at their teeth.

Leon's x-ray vision
After you unlock Leon's special costume, complete Chapter 1-3. In the
intermission sequence after the game prompts you to save, Leon will have a
strange dream that the egg hatched and is taking over his body. One part
shows it taking over his arm, but the secondary costume prevents Leon from
looking at his skin. Leon still acts as though he can see it, and the
intermission sequence plays through normally after that.

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.

DEFEATING ARMOURED 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.

Killing Chainsaw Men Easy!Mercianaries!
1.In the level were you are surrounded by water,try to start the level where you are high.(there should be a ladder that is short,in front of you that takes you to the highest location)(there should be a guy with a crossbow and red eyes in front of you)one more thing,you should already hear the man with the chainsaw when you start.)2.Climb that ladder and there will be time there.3.Keep facing that way.4.Wait till you here him make a sound,that indicates he is going to jump up to you.5.Quickly point your gun that direction.6.Right when he jumps up,quickly shoot while he is still in the air.7.He will fall all the way back down,and die.(Even just doing it once!)

Killing the iron maiden by a knife
When your in the lab in 5.2 or 5.3 you will see the spiked regenerator knife his leg he will fall down and knife his chest while hes down and wait for him to die

Jack Krauser!!
Remember Leon and Jack Swap Knives in the first encounter.( where Ada intervenes in the middle of the battle)..this is the hint to use knife with him.  At the main battle when he is attacking you use your knife to stab him and do the button combo things.
Again on the top of the building repeat the process and see how fast he dies.

How to beat cell claw?
Cell claw is the guy with the big claws and you need to shoot him with the rocket launcher in orderto deafet him.

Killing U-3/"it" very fast
(the cage)always ready the buttons to dodge its attacks.use any firepower to shoot all the green lights you come across(handgun or TMP is recommended).when the U-3 comes down,use any shotgun to shoot it until he retreats.when his pincer comes out,shoot him many times before it grabs you.(final battle)use the magnum to shoot it.also,take advantage of the oil drums and the cage so you can shoot it or unload your weapons.10-12 magnum ammo can kill its first half-life and 3-5 magnum ammo to kill it instantly.if you have infinite rocket launcher,shoot it once,when it is knocked down,simply knife-slash to kill it.

The knight's puzzle
When you get the stone tablet(as ashley),head to the puzzle,this puzzle is very tricky but I found out the easiest way:there is a space on the middle of the puzzle..put the stone tablet(not the one you found)on the left side of the space to the right.now the middle-left has a space.then rotate the rest of the stone tablets clockwise until you leave a space on the south-east portion of the puzzle.then put the stone tablet you found on the space and the stone tablet is complete,then the door will open then proceed to the next room

Survival Tips
1. Always keep ammo handy, for a gun you always use, when in need to kill enemies always reload your ammo, no matter if its empty or not.

2. know the areas well and always try to blow the enemies up with the gas barrows, to save ammo.

3. when your with Ashly, again know your surrounding's because then you can tell her to wait, for she will not be harmed.

4. always make sure you have health on you at all times.

# Mercenaries mini-game tips

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. Additionally, 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.

# Easy completion in Mercenaries mini-game in Village

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.

# Easy completion of Professional mode

The best way to complete the game in Professional mode is to first complete the Separate Ways mini-game. You will unlock Ashley's knight costume and Leon's gangster costume. Selecting Ashley's knight costume makes Professional mode a lot easier. Ashley cannot be injured or carried away. Use her for bait when needed. At least half the enemies will go directly for her, giving you time to kill them and keep your distance from a crowd. This also works well on El Gigante.

# Control title screen

At the title screen, press the Right Analog-stick to move the background. Press R1 to zoom in or L1 to zoom out.

# Game trailers

Remain idle at the title screen. Eventually two trailers will begin playing and begin to cycle.

# Extra scene

When Leon is being choked by Chief Mendez, he will be told that he has the same blood. Leave the room, then return. You will be choked again by Chief Mendez, only this time Ada will come to the rescue.

# 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.

# 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.

# 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.

# Open doors quicker

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.

# 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.

# Aim faster

Use the D-pad and Analog-stick together to aim faster than normal.

# 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.

# Finding items

To find items, smash all of the crates with either your knife or a gun.

# 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.

# 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.

# Pearl Pendant

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.

# Valuable jewels

When around the village stage, some trees will have bird nests. Shoot them down to get valuable jewels to sell to the merchant.

# 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.

# Sell the rocket launcher (special) to the merchant

Note: This trick involves the infinite rocket launcher (successfully complete the game costs 1 million Pesetas). 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.

# Surviving the raid at the farmhouse

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.
#
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.

# 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.

# Killing large crowds with TMP

Shoot out the legs of everyone, then unload on their heads while they are lying on their faces.

# Killing birds

Throw a flash grenade in the middle of a group of birds. All of them will die instantly, leaving lots of gold. This also works with the Granadas when their heads are transformed.

# Killing snakes

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.

# Killing the merchant

You can kill the merchant at any time in the game. On the normal difficulty setting, he just dies then comes back at the next place, or sometimes when you leave the room and come back in. However, on the professional difficulty setting, once he dies, he remains dead.

# Golden egg

At the beginning of the game, if you leave a hen alone in Pueblo they should lay at least one golden egg (which fully restores health when used). 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. Additionally, the golden egg is the best healing item, as it fully heals you and only takes one space in your case.

# Throw eggs at Ashley

Collect some eggs, equip them, and throw them at 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.

# 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.

# Look up Ashley's skirt without her stopping you

Normally, if you jump down a ladder and try to look up Ashley's skirt, she will grab it and call you a pervert. However, there is a location where she does not do this. In Chapter 2-3, go to the lifts, after going down one of the paths. Climb onto one and go all the way down to the other side, shooting the Gonadas coming up on other lifts and the ones on the platforms. Once you get all the way down, go down the stairs nearby. Go to the cave that is here that has window-like holes. Be careful, as there are two dynamite wielding Gonadas at the entrance. Kill them then jump over the wall and go up the ladder. Kill the Gonada. Jump down, but leave Ashely up there. Try looking up her skirt with a sniper. She will not grab her skirt and call you a pervert because she is too high up. Note: There are more ladders where you can do this. Find one with a large drop and it should work. For example, if you have already gotten past Chapter 2-3, you can do this trick on the ladder you go down just after defeat Saddler in the final chapter.

After you defeat Ramon Salazar, walk further and there will be an intermission sequence where Ada will ask Leon if he needs a ride, and he accepts. When Ada brings him to the island, she will hook a rope onto the top of a cliff and say" I have some business to take care of". While she is saying that, look at her skirt (especially when she goes to jump up). You can also see more of Ashley than usual when you jump out the window of the church and when you get on the jet ski.

# Easy money in castle

Look behind every painting of Saddler to find 5,000 Pesetas.

# Broken Butterfly in castle

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. Additionally, 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 50.0, far stronger than the Killer 7's 35.0. You can kill a Boss in four shots.

# Getting the Green Catseye in the church

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.

# Infinite villagers in the church

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 much as desired.

# Black Bass recovery in sewer

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.

# 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.

# Chapter 3-4 puzzle

The quickest way to complete the puzzle when playing as Ashley in Chapter 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 X on the following in this order: 4, 7, 8, 9, 6, 3, 1, 7, 9.
# Interesting death sequences

Note: Save your game before each encounter when trying to see the following death scenes:

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.

Del Lago (before fighting him): 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.

Del Lago (when fighting him): After getting knocked out of the boat, swim back until you are just in reach of the boat. Del Lago will appear from underneath. Additionally, after killing Del Lago, do not cut the rope.

Giant insects: Let them vomit on you.

"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.

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 for the villagers 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.

Two Los Gigantes: In the magma floor/pool, activate the switch and stand next to the pool.

Trap door floor: Let Leon fall through the trap door that Salazar actives.

Wolves: When they jump on you, they will ravage your face. Once Leon is killed, look at their teeth.

# Leon shows off

Wear Leon's gangster costume and have the Chicago Typewriter as a weapon. Hold R1 and 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.

# Leon struggles

When using Ashley's knight costume and Leon's gangster costume, watch Leon as he tries to catch Ashley whenever you need her to come down from a raised platform or ladder. He will fall on the ground with one knee, and as he comes up from the ground, he will grab his back in pain.

# Leon's X-ray vision

After you unlock Leon's special costume, complete Chapter 1-3. In the intermission sequence after the game prompts you to save, Leon will have a strange dream that the egg hatched and is taking over his body. One part shows it taking over his arm, but the secondary costume prevents Leon from looking at his skin. Leon still acts as though he can see it, and the intermission sequence plays through normally after that.

# 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.

# 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.

# 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.

# 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. Additionally, 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.

# Defeating chainsaw men

When you meet a man with the chainsaw, shoot him with the shotgun and incendiary grenades. You can also use your handgun, but you will probably get killed. Note: The shotgun is found in the building that is diagonal from the tower.

# Defeating Del Lago (lake monster)

When you start, Del Lago 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 Del Lago retreats.

# 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 Chief Mendez. 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 Gigante.

# 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. Additionally, 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.

# Avoid fighting El Gigante 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.

# Defeating enemies on bridges

If you are on a bridge and there are 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.

# 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. Additionally, 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 throw it at them. If done correctly, he will burn on the ground and die.

# Defeating flying insects

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).

# 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.

# 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.

# 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.

# 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. Additionally, when fighting Krauser, instead of wasting ammunition, use your knife. You should only have to hit him four or five times before he dies.

# 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.

# 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 th
