I can't beat the game even at the first chapter with professional mode. If you got hit by an enemy you'll be in dying mode instantly.
Help.

It's hard, which is why it's better to play with someone else rather than the AI. Also try equipping some vests, that might help.
What weapons are you using?

Honestly I did it with infinite ammo.
Sniper, Night hawk magnum, hydra shotgun. (with occasional other weapon for the situation.)

I had a hell of a time but I did it with a co-op partner.


The first level is pretty easy though if you have grenade launcher load up on nothing but nitrogen rounds (if you have the gold to spare?) and you can freeze all the beginning majini and melee them to break them. Once executioner breaks in, run passed him and to the left up the ladder (out of the gate of course) and head all the eway up to the sign. Back yourself in a corner and wait for Kirk to arrive, enemies WILL make it up there by you but the executioner can't and you can freeze any enemies coming up. I did this on pro on 1-1 and it was really easy to be honest. The rest don't really have that kinda easiness though.

It's not impossible - just quite hard. If you can hold your own until the Executioner is knocking the gate down (by this time it helps if you are outside and have a good view of this - to the left of the gate and by the wall is a good spot) then as soon as he has hit the gate run past him and get on the bus - safest place in the area.

Run to the back of the bus and keep shooting Majini as they approach the doors to the bus. Look out for the Executioner's approach, if you can drop him you'll get a gold ring worth 5,000.

Thats not really the safest place as the bus the majini can get to from all angles, the rooftop you can get yourself backed in and defend the ladder and where the billboard is to the left of the ladder. Essentially, no majini can sneak up on you. At least the times I've played that level and also the executioner can get no where near you. Though thats considering if you don't want to fight him, and don't want any risk. Personally by the time I played Pro, gold didn't bother me so the risk was far too much for such a small prize.

But yeah before the gate is open, its hard. Just gotta hope you don't miss shots, etc.. (or if you are going the inf ammo route or big gun route. hope you are fast enough or don't mess up.) Until the gate is open there is no really sure fire, 'safe' way to go.

Jump out the window, turn left to the fence here, turn around - all enemies will come from in front of you. Don't be tempted by melees in this mode, since it might put you in more danger - unless it'll knock back loads of enemies. When the axecutioner comes, run past, turn left and up that ladder (like Ryu said), up here they either come from the side or the ladder, easily dealt with.

What weapons are you using?

I'm using a gatling gun and an Infinite rocket launcher.
And Sheva is using the Handcannon..
I think I got hit because the gatling gun takes a while until it shoots.
Probably give me a tip on what weapon to use?

Oh Christ no don't use the gatling gun!! It really is horrible, only good for the trophy really.
Like Ryu said, infinite ammo is the way to go, using a magnum (L. Hawk) and a shotgun is probably a good move too. Rocket launcher can be great but obviously don't use it in small spaces/when an enemy is right in your face.
How far have you gotten so far?

don't use the gatling gun!!

But it cost me so much..
Ok, nevermind I'll take your advice.

I'm trying to get 50k gold to buy sheva's Longbow.
I'll play pro mode when I've bought it.

360 or ps3? If you're 360, add me and I can run through on veteran and buzz through it. But yeah, the gattling gun is a piece of shit tand the rocket launcher really is only good for bosses and the reapers. Anything else and you're just...not needing it. A magnum (L.hawk) I used in place of a handgun on infinite ammo. I used a sniper for distance and the hydra shotgun upclose (just cause it hasa huge spread and all which is helpful for knockback.)



and for a sniper I personally use tehe s75 as its almost a one hit kill to all majini up to the tribe ones. Then sometimes it takes 2 shots. Never usually three. (normal enemies that is) Its about double the power of the other snipers but each bullet you have to *bleep* the gun so it cacn be slow at times. But thats why you'd use the l.hawk and the shotgun. Why I'd use the L. Hawk over the others is its fast in comparison, but still very powerful.

I don't get how infinite ammo is hard...just take any SG, any Mag, maybe a rifle, a RL for bosses and you're set....

Inf isn't hard, Professional is. One hit kills on you pretty much, thats the only way I really managed Professional but I think I coculd do it without I'd just be pissed the *bleep* off by the end of it. xD

Yeah i know even on professional...you could just spam the bullets...not that you need to but still. You can use a shotgun for a majini whenever you want - which makes it easy...of course you're gonna get hit at points, but its very doable.

I'm gonna do Proffessional difficulty with my friend on co-op. Seriously cuts down time, difficulty and aggravation.
