1.When your supposedly going to fight the chainsaw man there is a small house beside it. Before the cutscene where more men come stay in that house. after the cutscene kill all the guys that try to come in. once they here the bell and every1 is gone, go get the shotgun and you don't have to worrie about wasting ammo or getting killed and starting all over again.
2. An easy way to kill El Lago(a.k.a. the lake monster). First when you start and there is no things to hit pull out the spear and try to get as man hits as possible.when he breaks off try to hit it alot of times in the mouth so that alot of blood comes out of it.once it dies rapidly hit A so u cut the rope.
3. If you helped the Dog get out of the bear trap, then it was a smart choice because when you fight El giante(a.k.a. the Giant troll at begging) the dog comes in and makes the troll go after it. this gives you time to reload and collect all the stuff in the houses. You don't have to always worrie about the troll going after you because the dog always stays until you've won.For people who didn't know this part, when El Giante goes down and the parisite goes out of its back, don't shot but go behind El Giante and it has action climb up then you rapidly hit A or B to slash the parisite. this takes about 3 to 4 times but it like 3 less times then the shooting it technic.
4.When you are in the building with Louis, make sure you have upgraded your fire power for you shotgun.A kool thing is there is stuff you can move in front of the windows to slow them down and you be able to reload and get the stuff upstairs.When they do get in, stay at the top of the stairs with your shotgun becuase you can aim down at their head and kill em in 1 hit.
5.For people near Salazars ending chapter, for people who notice his guys who are beside him, well he send the right one after you.you will get locked in a room for 4 minutes and the best way to do it is crouch and flip and when the door opens use the liquid nitro action so it freezes. there is 4 so do each 4 in a row, the one in the room where you fight it, the 1 in the hall, one in the next room, and get the last one in the same room and then the elevator should be there and you can go. also a other method is to get it frozen and if u have a rocket luancher, now would be the time to unload it on him.6.if you see shiny thing on the way, shoot them down.When you in the farm where you see the notice for the blue medallions, the is a little water circle thingy there with a necklace over it. Don't shot the necklace in but there is a piece of wood holding it up. shot the wood so it close then shot the necklace.its a pearl necklace or some thing. if you did shot it in then it will be dirty and will have a less value for selling. Also don't sell the catseye because in the town where you come back with ashley and she needs a piggyback to get over the fence. when you don't have ashley, there is a door way the is blocked by a wardrobe, get your shotgun out and shot it till it breaks. There is a room where a beerstein is with 3 indents.if you have all three catseyes put it in it and sell it for like 150000. 7. Krauser: when you fight him there are 3 mosiac pieces that you have to find. he tells you where they are. the first isin this little like house part, walk up the stairs to get the piece and Krauser will be there and you will fight with him until he goes away. when he fires, hide under him till he comes down then interact with him.when he goes the 2nd one will be on the top of a roof but first you have to go through some robots he sent after you.Once you have the 2nd piece you know what happens because there is only 3 pieces and Krauser has the last one. On the roof, Krauser mutates his arm and huge spikes come out of it.try and use your shotgun to knock him down by shooting his legging until his chest and face are open for shots.oh ya, by the way you only have 3 minutes to beat him because he put TNT on the sides. Once you have beat him, run place all three pieces in and get the hell in.
If anybody needs my help email me at Tyj12@hotmail.com

Here are some cominations of wepons you can put together and upgrade to perfection.

Red9 , Striker , Automatic riffle > TMP

the reason i say the red9 is because its good handling and 2 shot or even one shot kills when upgraded to exclusive.

the striker is the best shot gun in the game so thats a must have. When upgraded to exclusive it holds 100 shot gun shells, and this realy came to a great help when faceing lage numbers of enemeys.

Now everybody knows that the normal bolt action riffle sucks compaired to the auto riffle. Upgrading this baby up a little will pop heads off of ganados and others with one shot only.

The TMP is the only machine gun avalible untill you get father in the game to get the Chicago Typeriter. TMP's pack seroise daqmage and holdd when at exclusive level 250 ammo.

And when you first get the punisher, sell it, its a crappy wepon

After you fight El Lago shoot the fish with a handgun.Large Black Bass sell for 2300 and completely restore health.normal Black Bass sell for 750 and restore partial health.

For some people, searching for treasure is hard and its just stupid to buy the treasure map. So here is the tip for the beersteins' catseye. After you leave pueblo, get to the farm, grab the beerstein from behind the shelf (blow it away with a shotgun), continue to the next area where you will be chased by a boulder. After you survive the boulder, continue on down the tunnel until you get to a 2 houses and people with dynomite!

Simply kill them, then head towards the house with the padlocked door, from there take a right until you reach a tree with a beehive in it. Shoot the beehive the for first catseye.

To get the chicago typewriter, complete the game once and then finish minigame assignment Ada.

When you get to the Church with the cemetary in front,aim at the bell and shoot it.Then,three non-zombies will appear.Shoot them and gather the
items that they had left.

before the swamp part you come to this place with like 13 crows all sat in a circle, kill them and they drop lots off stuff ,or to make sure you kill them all throw a flash grenade which for some reason kills them all instantly , the crow in the middle drops a flash grenade ( or maybe just a random item ) and the rest all drop money ranging from around 200-1000.

Look at his legs. If you see an eyeball, shoot it until you can see the eyeball on his mouth. Get near it and press the ACTION button. Do this about 3 times, then go across the bridge and get rocket launcher. Shoot it at him. Then, go down, get the girl, and then ride the jet ski.

to defeat Salazar easily first take out your strongest weapon (I suggest a broken butterfly)
shoot Salazars eye until his body appears then simply hit it with a rocket launcher

When Verdugo comes in run to the LN2 and shoot it. After it freezes take a rocket launcher and KAA-BOOOOOOM you have your pestas.

All you need for this is 1 bullet (any gun), but i recomend also having a shotgun. when the battle starts run backwards to the explosive barrel and grab the shotgun shells and green herb, DONT use the herb yet. by then he should be right next to you. run behind him and shoot the explosive barrel. now run to the corner of the little crevace were all the crates are and grab the incindiary grenade. run forward near the door and nab the TMP ammo (not required) and handgun ammo (highly reccomended). he should be somewhat near you,now,chuck the incendiary grenade at him. he should die, or, does he? now he will get back up and grab on the bar above him. run backwards and climb up the ladder. grab the handgun ammo, red herb, and hand grenade. mix the red herb with the green herb and equip the hand grenade. run allthe way to the side un til you reach a different ladder from wich you came up. turn around and wait til he gets close and chuck the hand grenade. he should fall, now equip the shotgun and reload if you have to cuz its time to dust off the old shotgun shells and let loose. stay where you are and shoot him down when he gets close. shoot him twice while hes on the floor. now when he gets close again shoot him once more and he should die (this time for good). jump down and grab the false eye. the wall should blow up, escape through the hole. congratulations!

As Hunk, shoot a single TMP shot to the Gonados's face. Run up, and press the Action butten to snap their neck. Also, on the first area (The Village), it will work on the Chainsaw-wieling Gonados; but not on any other level.

In battle, when fighting an enemy with a parasite that has emerged from their head, you can throw a flash grenade and make them die automatically.(ONLY works AFTER the parasite has appeared)

Krauser's first:
Use the MINE THROWER and plant a mine on his legs, then quickly switch out to the ROCKET LAUNCHER. When the mine planted on his leg explodes, he'll fall to his knees, leaving him vulnerable. Shoot him with the ROCKET LAUNCHER. He'll die instantly. Any other way to defeat him may be a waste of time, depending on your hit ratio.

Saddler:
Shoot the yellow eye that appears on one of his legs. When the option arises to use the ACTION button, don't. Aim for the newly exposed eye as he falters and blast him with the ROCKET LAUNCHER. He'll die instantly. I know, ROCKET LAUNCHERS are awesome. ^.^

Make sure you save up at least 10-15 rifle shells, then when Krauser comes, exit the room. After that, go back and Krauser will charge at you, shoot him in the legs with the rifle, then the head. When he gets close, exit and go back to make Krauser charge at you again. Keep doing this as much as needed, even when you exit, the damage done to Krauser stays the same.

An easy way to defeat Krauser in assignment Ada is, when he runs at you, run past him back into the door you came through and equip your rifle w/ scope, Krauser will now be at the other side of the bridge, running toward you, so snipe his legs from afar and then, when he's down, snipe his head. This should defeat him after 2 or 3 times. You could also stand near the door so that everytime Krauser gets too close you can retreat for a break

Before you do this make sure you save it at the hut because you get killed. If you go on the dock and shoot a little upwards, the lake monster will eat you!

When you upgrade any weapon's capacity at a merchant, he will refill the magazine free of charge. This is very helpful with the magnum, or TMP

every time you buy an upgrade for a weapon you get the clip fill for you, very usefull for weapons like the broken butterfly where ammo is rare.

In the battle with the Garrador in the cage, press start before you see him jump down and you can avoid the fight with the garador... he'll have a replacement of course.

on the castle level on mercs(PAL) to avoid fighting a garrador (claw thing): first avoid killing as many people until you have collected the first 2 time bonuses that are outside, then run through the door near the bottom of the steps. now as long as u stay in that room (including the upstairs) or the room across the bridge with the killing bonus in the garradors cant get to you and you can kill as many of the monks as you can.

Fully upgrade the Handcannon's firepower, reload, and capacity. The 'exclusive' option then raises the attack power to 99.9 and gives infinite ammo.

Red and Green Eyes are plentiful, but Blue Eyes are very rare. You can get two lamps in the game, so you need at least two blue eyes.

One Blue Eye is always a reward for shooting down the large hive. The get the other one grab all Eyes from the sewer where you first fight the insects. If you don't get a Blue Eye simply restart from the continue point and keep trying until you get the Blue Eye.

If you want to buy an awesome gun that uses bullets other than Handgun 9mm's, first try to find alot of ammo for the gun. Cause if you buy, for example the Broken Butterfly without ammo, it's only going to have like 9 bullets, so it will waste easy.

In Professional difficulty, everything is the same except for the fact that enemies are alot tougher to kill. To unlock it just finish the game once.

NEVER GET SURRONDED:
This has to be the number one reason why I died so many times in this game. Whenever there is a huge group of anyone coming at you, it is best to put your back against a wall. That way, no one can come from behind and hurt you. Make sure what you back up against cannot be an entrance for enemies, such as a window.

SHOOT WILDLIFE:
They're all around the village. Chickens, cows, anything like that. If you shoot them, sometimes they'll leave cash and ammo. Sometimes, nothing. But it's worth the risk.

KEEP AN EYE ON ASHLEY:
Easy, but sometimes, can be extremly hard. Never leave Ashley unattended. If you must, hide her behind a corner or some place like that. Check up on her though. Don't just leave her some place and hope no zombie freaks won't smell her fear.

UPGRADE OFTEN AND KEEP YOUR PISTOL:
New weapons are awesome and exciting, but soemtimes, not worth it. Upgrade your Shotgun and Handgun all the way. Buying a bunch of weak weapons fails in comparision to a monsterious shotgun and uber powerful handgun. Don't like those? Then upgrade what ever weapon you like.

In the big temple area just past where you get the king and queens grail, there is this big blob hanging from the ceiling. If you shoot it enough times, it will fall and give you lots of different colored gem eyes.

This is for people who know how to play the game, beginers can do it they think they can. But anyway, when your in the final fight with Krauser if you have enough ammo great but if you don't then I've done this so I can vow for it. If you stay close to him and swipe your knife right as he begins to attack you hurt him emensly. It only takes maybe 10 or less hits, thought you might want to know.

When Ashley is following you find something somewhat high off of the ground and climb on top. Then tell Ashley to stay put. Go below where you left Ashley standing. When you are underneath and you try to move the C-Stick up to look at Ashley, she will ask Leon what is he looking at and call him a pervert.

When your inside that house defending it.. stand next to Luis... if you do, free handgun ammo!!!

At the first El Gigante fight, there is a Yellow Herb. Take it and combine it with a Green herb... use it!... now let that thing kill you and do this again.... your life will stay that way and you'll have yellow herbs later on in the game for Ashely! But it does effect the ending.....

When you've beaten the game through at least once, you'll unlock Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries minigames. Beating Assignment Ada will unlock the Chicago Typewriter, while getting 5 stars on every level with each character in The Mercs will get you the Handcannon.

When playing as Leon S. Kennedy in Mercs, try to save your Riot gun ammo. If you're only fighting two or three ganados, use the Blacktail handgun. Any more than that, whip out the shotty. But do not ever try using the Blacktail on the Bella sisters(Villiage; the women with chainsaws), the prisoner(The blind gladiator dude in the castle) the chain gunner(Military camp), or Leatherface(Docks; OH GOD DO NOT TRY IT ON HIM. HE WILL CHOP YOUR F---ING HEAD OFF)

Playing as Ada Wong isn't that easy, but it's better than Leon, because she has a few grenades. Pull out the Punisher when fighting small numbers, or the TMP if you're out of Handgun ammo. When fighting large numbers that are far away, use the Semi Auto Rifle to take them out with one hit anywhere on their body. When they're close, pull out the TMP, get away, and throw a grenade or keep shooting with the TMP. Fighting the Bella sisters, just keep unloading Rifle bullets into them. Try to get the prisoner to turn around or just make him kneel down with a grenade, then shoot 'im with the Rifle. With the chain gunners, wait 'til they stop shooting, hit them with the Rifle, and with Leatherface... run. Find an exploding barrel and stop him for a minute or throw a grenade. when he's far, shoot him with either the TMP or the Rifle.

When playing as Jack Krauser, his Bow and Arm attack are very good. The bow is a bit hard to aim at the beginning, but it gets easier as you use it more. Take out as many of them as you can with the Bow, then when your arm is glowing red, wait until you see the Bella sisters/Prisoner/chain gunner/Leatherface and use it. It's an instant kill, and it's easier than using the bow on them.

Hunk is easy to get kills with if you use him right. All he has is a TMP. Shoot someone in the face(Including the Bella Sisters, but not the other three big guys) and walk up to them and press A. You'll do the neckbreaker move and kill a Ganado with one TMP bullet. With the other three big guys... just keep dodging and shooting. With Leatherface, make sure you've got a lot of Grenades.

Alber Wesker, the badass of the Mercs, has the best weapons if you don't count Krauser's arm attack. He has a handgun, a Semi Auto Rifle, and a Killer7 magnum. Use the rifle and the handgun on the Ganados, along with some grenades, and the Killer7 on the big guys. That's pretty much it. But if you're out of Magnum bullets, you can throw a flash grenade or shoot someone in the face and use the 'Thrust Punch' which is very powerful.

There is a tree with a nest in it just before the dock when your about to fight El Lago. It reveals a pretty priceful item.

After the car crashes infront of you an ashley after you enter the big door with the eye scanner, simply just walk backwards and keep your eye on the door you just passed through the make sure no gernados come through.

Of course this tip is if you are short on life or ammunition.

At the castle part, after fighting the bugs in the sewers and avoiding those traps, you will see a group of guys praying.... dont jump down the ladder yet, go north and swing across the light, when your on the other side, throw down a flash grenade and try to hit them with it. Immediately jump down and run north to where they'll try to escape, turn around and kill them all! All the small guys will give you spinels. The big "chief" will give you a pendant..... 32000 ptas!

To get the Punisher Pistol, you don't have to shoot all of the 15 blue medallions. Note that the guy sais that you only have to shoot more than ten. I only shot eleven and i got it. It's great 'cause you can save alot of ammo if you keep on missing, cause they're so small.

A good way to save even MORE ammo, to kill enemies with 1 or 2 rounds each, is to shoot them in the legs until the crouch. Run up to them and when it gives you the option to suplex them, do it, then immediately 180 turn and start to slice them up with the knife. They should be dead before they stand if they don't die instantly from the suplex breaking their skull open.

This works great on one on one fighting, so, you can lure out enemies by running up so one sees you, then run away out a door or up a ladder.
Also, kicking open doors injures the opponents behind it, also knocking most of them over, do this repeatedly to kill them.

if theres a ladder near by get all the monsters and stuff on the ground then when they climb up hit them with the knife before they are fully up and they will fall off the ladder and will die after a few times.
also
you can knife the guy close up then kick them down then run up when there down and knife them. mostly they will die when there geting up.

OK, when he appears shoot down the boulder above with the handgun. Now run to the chained door, tell Ashley to wait and head back to the giant with the shotgun equipped.
The idea is to go to run past the giant's right side (your left) but stop if he swings round, back up a few steps and blast him. This way he won't manage to grab you so you'll avoid damage. If he doesn't swing round just run past, turn round and go again.

After beating the game the first time, when starting a new game or playing a Round Two game, a new option appears that allows for Leon and Ashley to wear special costumes. Leon wears an R.P.D. uniform, Ashley wears pop sensation clothes, and Ada wears her black outfit from her mini-game.

When fighting the second Garrados, I found him easier to killthan the first, but much more annoying. Why? Because not only are you in a cage(not for long though..), but because there are monks and bad guys EVERYWHERE. So heres my tip for killing him and those Ganados. First thing when the cage drops- move a step left or right, 'cause the Garrados will drop on you. Next, whip out the TMP, and shoot the lock on the cage door alot. Then you're out. The Garrados shouldn't follow you. So move into the dining room, and shoot the Ganados one by one. Then when there are 1-2 left, go to the room and shoot the Garrados in the back a few times, evading the bad guy(s). When he's dead, keep and eye out for bad guys, and they keep coming 1 at a time until the Garrados is dead. Pick up the rewards and you're 15,000 Pesetas richer.
If the Garrados comes into the dining room, run around the tables randomly shooting monks, and he can't charge at you with the tables there. Don't waste shotgun ammo on him because it takes only one shot from a handgun to get the parasite on his back out.

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.

Defeating the man with the chainsaw
When you meet the 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.

When you start the fight collect the items and go up the ladder. Once up the ladder run behind the water tank thing and crouch down. After that pull out your sniper rifle and aim under the tank and if done correctly you should be able to shoot him and not get hurt. After he grabs the bar just simply shoot him with the shotgun when he gets close.

Beat the game to unlock the Mathilda handgun and the Infinite Rocket Launcher. The items will be unlocked for purchase at any merchant if you load up a "Round 2" game save. The weapons come with a hefty price, too.

In the course of the mercenaries game, you can unlock extra characters by completing the maps with a high score, in addition to secret characters, you can also unlock weapons. The total cost of the Handcannon's upgrades is 790,000 pesetas.
To unlock the Handcannon get a five-star rank on all mercenaries.

When the guy who runs around and sells you upgrades for weapons, he has a secret "quest" for you. You have to search 2 areas of the game for the blue medallions & shoot them (there are 15 altogether). Doing this gets you the Punisher Pistol.

Play as Krauser
HPM4-UEJF-ZTV96
T2CT-YERW-TDU6Y

Awesome. Just awesome. There are codes like this for every playable character but this is obviously the coolest. There are rules. They are as follows.

Main Game
1. Krauser can only access his menu in certain places, usually with merchants.
2. Krauser will only have his knife and arm, no bow, to get the bow working I'll explain below.
3.You cant give ashley commands as Krauser.
4.He cant do radio conversations, the game will freeze.
5. To load a normal file as Krauser, load the file normal first, then unequip all weapons, or sell them all. save, then load as krauser.
6. Krauser can only equip his bow, the slight exception is explained below. Attempting to equip anything besides will result in a game freeze.

GAINING KRAUSERS BOW
THis is a complicated little trick that will almost never work the first time. The steps are as follows.

1. Play as leon until you get inside the village church.
2. Talk to the merchant. Sell all your weapons and Items except for the Handgun.
3. Save and turn off the game.
4.You will now need the following code:

Have Krauser's bow (Press L+Rpad Up)
HN9Y-T5TV-FMRTF
T8YC-ANEA-PWWZF
5P45-9Y8J-PCGK0
F9Z6-D86E-ZNQ4E
W24H-VC3U-RPXAD
92H5-52U1-YUT8G
E9FZ-A3QA-YCERP

5. Also put on the following codes:

Infinite Ammo
Infinite Health
Infinite Health (Ashley)
Have Krausers Bow
Play as Krauser
Infinite Cash(Optional, depends on if you have a lot of cash or not)

6.Start game and load that file
7.Move the Handgun to the bottom left corner of the attache case.
8.Press L+RUp
9.YOu should now have the handgun and krausers bow in your attache case.
10. Equip the Handgun.
11. Discard the Bow.
12. Move the Handgun to the upper left corner of the attache case.
13. Press L+RUp
14. Check your attache case now. The bow should have replaced the handgun and you should see an indistinct white patch to the right and down on the bow.
15. Equip the bow.
16. If everything worked, you should have the bow equipped with infinite arrows.

The complexity of this trick lies in one thing: You cant get arrows in the main game. Its easy enough to get the bow, but you have to have something to shoot. I have checked at least 30 websites and i think I am the first person to discover this trick.
