*1. A Brief Foreword *
*******************************************************************************
Resident Evil 4 is by far my favorite game of all-time. I first played this
game on a rental not knowing what I was in for. I was so compelled to beat the
thing that it is the only rented game I have ever finished. What a joy it was
to play and little did I know that I would soon own both versions of it and
beat it multiple times (so many I've actually lost count).
Anyway, this is my first walkthrough. I do not intend to go into too much
detail. My goal is to simply inform players on what to do in order to beat
this game effectively and in a timely manner. Basically to share the tips I
wish someone would have given me. Everything I share with you are things I
didn't do on my first game; I was really stupid.
This guide is for anyone. I will provide advance details for advance situations
and basic info early on; I will hope you learn the basics by a certain point
and will no longer tell you to "buy this upgrade" or "this is how you kill the
same enemy."
Also, I never tried to spoil any of the story, but I may have something in here
about the stoy. Just don't worry about it.
Let me say this, and I know it is said again, there are so many ways to beat
this game and so many variables that I will provide more info than anyone may
need. This game is not brutal, I believe anyone can get through it with any
amount of mistakes and errors. This is not a survival horror game!
*******************************************************************************
*2. Basic Info (1001bio) *
*******************************************************************************
If you need even more basic info, like how to control Leon, please refer to
the booklet in the box.
Take note of how to do the 180 turn on either system. (Down+B on Gamecube)
(Down+circle/square on PS2) It is crucial in many situations, like boss fights.
Don't forget to run, not walk. And reload often.
Menacing music means danger. When it stops, the coast is clear.
Also, take note of the unique attache case system. All items take up space in
the case, and later in the game every space will be vital in weapons
management. To conserve space combine herbs, and if you must throw away ammo
and grenades; only if there is not a nearby merchant, if there is then sell the
stuff for some cash.
Know how to use the knife for opening crates, but also if needed for crowd
control, (also for one boss fight) and in single fights against one enemy.
Kick staggering enemies to save ammo. May even hit others nearby. Can also
perform a body slam.
Kick doors open to move through them faster; just double-tap the button. You
can also damage enemies this way.
Kill Las Plagas with a rifle round, it saves loads of ammo.
Try to reframe from using items to heal yourself, unless you are almost dead
or have a G+R+Y herb. Maxing your health is done through the yellow herbs so
try to get as many as possible.
The game does a quicksave everytime you enter new areas, this is so you can
restart from there if you die; also where you will start if you RETRY.
Also, it seems the game will take points where it scans your inventory and
changes around various items to adjust to your skill level. Nothing to worry
about though. This is why the items setup changes to second format after a
certain point. All should be good for the early game.
What items you get from random drops depends on what you are hurting for, if
you lack ammo, money, or herbs, then you will get a small dose from some
random drop.
Use whatever handgun you have by default. Its better to run out of handgun
bullets, than to run out of shotgun shells.
Go to the PRO section for more stuff.
*******************************************************************************
*3. Weapons (1001wea) *
*******************************************************************************
This is merely a list of the weapons with a rating (my rating) and some info.
1.) Handgun: 4/5
Only good if you stick with it to the end. FREE!
2.) Punisher: 4/5
It is free, and shoots through two enemies; ALTERNATE route. Free.
3.) Red9: 3/5
I heard it has its uses, and Luis uses one; I never used it.
4.) Blacktail: 5/5*
Good aiming, fast, and powerful upgrades; must have for every zombie-hunter
5.) Shotgun: 4/5
Good if you stick with it. FREE!
6.) Riot Gun: 4/5
Better for crowd control, on par with an upgraded Shotgun.
7.) Striker: 5/5*
Best for crowd control, good handling too; weak at long range.
8.) Rifle: 4/5
Can be better than the SAR, if you take it to the end; bolt-action though.
9.) Semi-Auto Rifle: 5/5*
Awesome when upgraded.
10.) TMP: 5/5*
I like it a lot, but it can waste lots of ammo fast.
11.) Broken Butterfly: 3/5
Long reload time, and not all that powerful. Low ammo. Free.
12.) Killer7: 5/5*
Can take out Los Gigantes in a few shots. Low ammo.
13.) Mine-Thrower: 5/5*
Stupid delay in the boom; if you buy exclude the scope. Good with skill.
14.) Rocket Launcher: 4/5
Kills many BOSSES in one shot, good since it has only one shot.
One is free at least.
*Starred guns means you should get them in a basic runthrough
Ammo Types:
A.) Handgun ammo is red, used in: Handgun, Punisher, Red9, and Blacktail.
B.) Shotgun shells are green, used in: Shotgun, Riot Gun, and Striker.
C.) Magnum ammo is black, used in Broken Butterfly and Killer7.
*Hard to come by
D.) TMP ammo is blue, used in TMP, what else?
Grenades:
A.) Hand Grenades are green and have a wide blast radius, good in close combat.
*Most close blasts do not hurt Leon if he is facing it
B.) Incendiary Grenades are red and have a small blast radius, but leave fire.
C.) Flash Grenades are blue and cause enemies to stagger in blindness.
*The flash kills Las Plagas instantly, except in boss fights
--------
My Guns on my playthroughs:
Blacktail, Striker, TMP, Rifle, Killer7, and Mine Thrower.
Fully upgrade the Handgun and Rifle at least. And then get the Striker and
magnum as strong as possible.
Almost any combo of weapons will work, all is up to you.
*******************************************************************************
*4. Enemies (1001ene) *
*******************************************************************************
Just a run-down of enemy types and their weaknesses.
1.) Los Ganados (zombie-like enemies)
As for Ganados, headshots are nice but later they can yield unwanted results,
so I prefer legshots. They will either fall or stagger, if you are fighting
one enemy just run up and kick them if they stagger or knife them if they fall
to the ground; in crowds, this allows you to focus on other threats while the
enemy recovers.
Bodyshots seem to do little damage, but limbshots can knock weapons out of
their hands.
Ganados come in three flavors: villager, cult, and commando. And many have
implements of doom, few armed with crossbows, and some rare ones use a gatling
gun!
2.) Las Plagas
These parasites control the various enemies throughout. They emerge from
enemies after it turns dark. Some are unavoidable, but headshots increase the
chances of one sprouting from the host's neck.
The hardest thing about the razor types is how they stagger forward when shot.
Razor Plagas will be fought throughout the game, but are the only type found
in the village.
The second type are the worm Plagas. They only have one attack, an instant
death move. If left alone long enough, and with even a decent range away, they
are able to extend towards you and take off your head in one bite. Not too bad,
just handle them from a distance.
The last type are the mature Plagas. They can spit acid when close to you. When
brought down (even after a certain amount of time) the creature detaches from
the Ganados and will become a new threat. For me, I just leave them alone and
let them detache on their own. When they scurry toward you, just two handgun
bullets do them in.
All types can be shot to death, killed by flash grenades, or sniped with one
rifle round. Only the mature forms will survive.
3.) Special Ganados
The chainsaw villagers are the toughest in the game, I believe. And you can run
into two in the second area! Tough but not the best. They are pretty easy if
you knock them down and keep them down with a shotgun. If you cannot take them
out, then at least you get a cool death scene. They yeild great rewards when
killed.
There are even stronger, blue maniacs found in just two places. One is tough
and is found in the mine. The other is on the mine cart ride, but can be
avoided.
JJ's carry a huge machine gun. They must be staggered with strong weapons to
bring down. Headshots help.
The last type are found only on the island. They aren't too different from
normal Ganados, but they are a bit tougher and wear armor. Headshots are a must
for these, but legshots will also work. May sprout Plagas.
4.) Garradors
Blind, at least for a length. They rely on hearing mostly. I consider them mini
boss fights and will tell you how to handle them when we get there.
Only one will wear armor.
5.) Colmillos
You seldom encounter these puppies, and they are pretty weak. They will either
jump on you or slash you with whips. Just shotgun them with two shots.
6.) Novistadors
The first you encounter are invisible, but the flying ones are not. A couple of
shotgun shells do it for these things. Especially when they are in the air, one
shotgun blast kills them.
7.) Armaduras
Armored enemies with weapons. Shoot the helmets off to reveal the plagas, then
shoot the plagas.
8.) Regenerators
They regenerate! On my first run-through, I had no knowledge of how to properly
kill them; I would just shoot till they blew up. This seems to work, as I think
they have a kill-point. But it is hard, as Regenerators move when knocked down
and I think you have to hit the plagas either way. The hitpoints on these
monsters is at about 250. The Killer7 helps.
Don't shoot the legs!
9.) Iron Maidens
A step above Regenerators. Keep your distance, unless you enjoy impalement.
Just use the infared scope and after that start shooting.
*******************************************************************************
*5. Treasures (1001tre) *
*******************************************************************************
This new addition was put here for the benefit of those who don't know where or
what to do with treasures.
For the uninitiated, treasures are little trinkets found in hidden locations
throughout the game. Most are easy to spot and run across, but some are hidden
pretty good or require extra effort to obtain. The ultimate purpose of finding
these is to sell them to the various merchants for a nice profit. The money
earned will usually only pay for an upgrade or two, but it does add up in the
long run (as do most things in life).
There are three types of treasures: small, regular, and combo. Small treasures
include the spinels, velvet blues, emeralds, jewels, and the jewel-less big
treasures. Regulars are simply the ones that can be sold as is. Combo treasures
will require at least two jewels added on in order to reach maximum value. The
combo jewels and treasures will usually need to kept for long periods of time
while you collect all the components.
If you missed one, or did not complete a combo treasure, don't sweat it. The
affects of missing a few are small, but miss more and you will be crying later
when you need that little extra change for a purchase.
And no, key items cannot be sold. Even in Separate Ways, where some treasures
have been turned into keys for Ada.

Here is a list of the various upgrades that the merchant sells. Purely for
those who want to see what weapons are better and how much upgrades cost, also
when they are available.
I will list the big weapons only. Mainly the ones I recommend. No Round 2 guns,
magnums, or the mine thrower. You can figure them out on your own.
You can tell where the gun is first available by where the first upgrade can
be bought.
The pattern of where upgrades are found are as follows: the first is the same
for every quality, the 4th in fire and capacity are the same as the 3rd in
the speeds, and the six levels are the same in fire and capacity. But I will
tell you where each is.
Some numbers may be off, but this is a great way to plan ahead.
How you get them and when is up to you.
*NOTE: these are PS2 values, I heard small tweaks were made from the Cube.*
***
Key
***
Name of Weapon: Cost
Quality
Level: Value Pesetas Chapter
EXCLUSIVE: obtained after you buy all other upgrades for the gun
Firepower value = power, duh
Speed values = frames (30 frames = 1 second)
Capacity value = number of bullets held, important for how much free ammo you
get and when you have to reload
*NOTE: most are correct, but some I've yet to confirm.*

As you can tell, all weapons have pros and cons. The best set of weapons are
usually better to handle, but will cost more for upgrades. All is up to you.
I recommend for the willing to keep the village weapons and not trade in for
the bigger versions.
***************************************************
Red9 can be found at the Tunnel Pt 2.
Mine Thrower is bought at the castle gates.
Broken Butterfly is free at Reunited, but is also at the gates.
Killer7 is at Leon's Breach.
Reply guns are for your pleasure only.
Attache Case Upgrades:
Medium is at the Valley.
Large is at the gates.
XX is at Fight for the Rocket.
Of course every gun with a stock has it available when the gun is. I would
recommend you skip all, except the one for the Semi-Auto Rifle.
Sprays are 10,000 on the Gamecube, but only 5,000 on the PS2; which makes way
more sense. But you should never need to buy any if you are good.
All ammo is worth something, but magnum ammo is worth 500 a bullet, so if you
don't buy a magnum and sell all the ammo you find it can be profitable.
Grenades are worth:
Frag = 2,000
Incendiary = 1,000
Flash = 500
You should never need to buy treasure maps.

This big line is for anyone trying to plan ahead and see where the next greedy
merchant resides. Hope I got them all.
(don't follow TOO closely, as PS2 and Cube have variations)
Ammo: 100 (number of ammo boxes)
Random: 200 (crates that may or may not be loaded)
Grenade: 300 (any of the three types)
Herb: 400 (either red, yellow, or green)
Pesetas: 500 (money)

(Second Format)
Crates: 100 (roundup of all crates and barrels to smash)
Items: 200 (all items just lying around)

Also, I will post other things with items.
Make sure you read ahead of where you are in a paragraph.
Exploring an area is crucial for getting through this game, so don't miss out
on the items. I will tell you what items to look for, but you should be able
to see what resides in an area. Sorry, I hope you know, or learn, how to
explore areas. And most crates have random stuff, so most are empty. Look in
cabinets and drawers for items.
You will not need a treasure map for any section with this guide.

1.1 The Woods (1001woo)

Ammo: 3
Random: 5
Grenade: 1
Herb: 3
Pesetas: 2
Other: 1
*Last chance to look at the PRO section of this guide*
As you can see, you only have a handgun, so take time to get familiar with the
controls. Walk up a ways and shoot the three crows in front of you for some
rewarding target practice. Just don't scare them away.
*You can run up the bridge for an extra scene with the police and you can also
talk to them.*
Go to the side of the house ahead and knife the crate, cross your fingers that
you get something. Then go inside. Yikes! Time for your first kill, I advise
to go for the legs and then run up and either kick if he staggers or knife him
if he falls to the ground. After he is taken care of run upstairs, don't
forget the ammo opposite the window, then jump out. When outside, run toward
the dead crows or forward a bit then do a 180 and start shooting the three
Ganados.
*You can even run back downstairs, jump out the window, and then use the house
as a type of funnel; up to you*
*You can return to the car area for a little scene if you like*
Continue up the path, enter the little shack and collect the items, then save
if you like. Shoot the two crows along the path and free the dog (why not?),
but watch out for the beartraps ready to claim your leg. Just continue down
the path, when you get to the skull sign search the area to the right for a
red herb (hopefully you haven't been damaged too much to use it).
Watch where you walk. Down the path are more traps and also some bombs. Be
careful and slip past the traps by hugging the the left side of the area
(you're trying to avoid everything here). Up the path is another enemy.
*To set off a trap, get the knife out and swing at the trap; saves ammo*
In the little shack, get all the stuff and exit. Then be quick to drop the two
enemies nearby, around the corner. Cross the bridge (ignore the guys on the
cliff above), but stop before you enter the last shack. Get to where you can
peek through the window from a distance, and then take a shot at the waiting
villager. Let him exit and then take him out, and you just avoided a cheap
scare! Collect the goods and enter the village.
***************
1.1 The Village (1001vil)
***************
Ammo: 7
Random: 6
Grenade: 3
Herb: 5
Pesetas: 3
Other: 1
*Treasure in chainsaw guys*
*Shotgun*
*You need to kill around 14 to move on.*
Goodness, your gaming skills will be put to the test early, I still find
trouble playing this area. Go forward and spy on the peasants if you like.
Then just go for it! Run into the town center and start shooting legs, yes,
aim for as many legs as possible. Avoid the left side of the town, and
make a path to the nearby house on the right of the policia (not the two-story
house).
*You're in the right house if you don't get a cutscene*
In here you are only going to make a temporary stand. Quickly push the nearby
drawer in front of the door to buy time. Slash the crates, and then enter the
other room to get a few other items (you are mainly here to get those extra
shotgun shells). Return to the main room and hopefully the furniture is still
holding up, it should be. Get in position behind the door, and then shoot at
head-level on the door. This will open up a hole and let you kill a bunch of
enemies with headshots, so just do it already!
*If you got the grenade from the crow earilier, you may want to use it now*
There should have been a whole bunch, and enough killed to trigger a scene of
more villagers rushing in the village. Hopefully the dead dropped some much
needed ammo. When the coast seems clear enough, push the drawer out of the way
and exit, picking up what you can, and head into the two-story house. Watch
the scene.
The trap is sprung! After the scene run to the bookcase by the window and push
it in front of the window, then collect the ammo in the back and go ahead and
break the crates. Run upstairs and grab the shotgun, grenade, and ammo. Now
run to the broken window and knock down the ladder, do an about face (180) and
shoot the people coming inside if any.
You got options now, you can stay here and mind the mobs, or you can move to
a new location.
I would jump out the window, or kill anyone trying to enter, and then run
around the balcony to the other side. If you can, grab the ammo on the chimney
and knock down a ladder, if you can. You are at the right spot if you are
standing where a spinel use to be. This is where you should make your final
stand against the horde.
Since the PS2 can't handle too many enemies on screen, it ain't that tough. On
the Gamecube, however, the mobs are much bigger. All of this may have a big
affect on this last little fight. You might be able to fend off the Ganados by
only using the handgun. If too many are rounding the corner, it may be best to
just whip out the shotgun and go to work. It all depends on the situation you
end up in, but you only have two weapons. Use the grenade as a last resort.
One thing that won't change is the single chainsaw maniac on your tail. The
shotgun is a must on him, but you only have a few shells so save them all for
as long as you can. Also, you only have to kill so many, so aim for maximum
kills with each shotgun shell you have.
After about 15 or so kills, the battle ends and you are free to pick up what
your enemies dropped and all other items.
Collect the few rewards lying around and then explore the whole area, make sure
you grab the two green herbs, and each of the other colored herbs. Mix all
three together if you need to recover health. There are items in almost every
inch of this area, so explore it detail. And check each little log storage on
the sides of walls to find a few hidden items (about 4, I believe). Collect
the shells in the tower too.
Head up the left path, check the shacks (one is empty), grab the document,
and exit.
*If you wish to do your own fight with the villagers, feel free; there are way
too many ways to fight this fight (watch out for the extra maniac too)*

There are six or so in this area. Kill the one in the barn, then the one with
the cows. Then the ones around the house should spot you and chase you when you
get near them. Not too hard to fight them.
*Yes, the cows kick hard. And there are multiple chickens in this area that
usually lay eggs.*
Go to the tree near the front and pick up the blue paper. Use your map and
shoot the seven medallions in the area. Also go around and find the various
items, including two spinels (don't miss the little fenced-off shack like I
did). Do you see the pendent hanging above the well near the save point? Shoot
the support holding the top up, but do not check the well as it will lift up
the top, shoot the pendent and then pick it up. Save if you wish, then go up
the house ladder and jump out the window go to the point where you can first
jump down and jump. Open the crate and collect the beerstein, then get out of
the area through the nearby gate (not in the fenced off area).

1.1 The Hillside (1001hil)
****************
Ammo: 3

Grenade: 1

Go forward, and read the red warning sign; get ready to button mash! Go down
the hill to trigger the boulder scene. You should be really fast! And be fast
about hitting the two buttons at the end. It may take some trial and error, but
you will need to get used to it, these sort of cool action scenes happen quite
a bit.
*I always put the controller on my knee and use my index finger to get past
these sequences; you'll use the wrist muscles, but pushing the combo at the
end is a bit tricky. Up to you*
*You can go back up the hill and shoot the guys on a bridge, but don't bother*
Go through the tunnel and look up for two spinels along the way. Be warned
there are beartraps, trip wires, and dynamite happy villagers to greet you at
the end of the tunnel. Go for the first bomber in front of you, then move
to the right side of the house and try to take out the ones in the house
through the door, but watch out for the beartraps(3). You may want to just toss
in a grenade. Collect the stuff in the house then exit. Usually, the last
villager kills himself, but you may need to take him out.
*If you run out of the tunnel to the house, maybe the villagers will kill
themselves; remember to shoot live dynamite!*
Get the stuff in the shack and go toward the house. Look up in the tree and
shoot the nest, the red catseye fits into the beerstein so combine the two.
Grab the ammo on the right corner of the house then kick the door open and
collect the stuff inside. Save. In the hallway watch out for the wire, get
back and shoot it; then shoot the one hanging over the table in the room
(look in the cabinet). Then push the bookcase over and go to the big wardrobe
in the room. Cutscene.
*Do the button push when the guy is about to swing. Does he look familiar?*

1.2 The Valley (1002val)

*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Ammo: 5
Random: 6
Grenade: 1
Herb: 3
Pesetas: 1
Other: 2
*After the interactive cutscene*
Grab the two ammo and save. Go to the merchant, sell your treasures but not the
beerstein, not yet anyway. I recommend buying the rifle and the attache
upgrade. Then grab the 2-3 items in the area before you start your snipe.
*You do not need the scope if you are a good shot, just a waste of money*
*NOTE: You do not need any upgrades, seriously. If you want to save your money
and give yourself a slight challenge, then don't get any. All weapons you have
right now will be sold, so if you can hold out you will net huge gains. I
usually upgrade the Handgun as much as possible.*
Take a spot in the little break in the wall to the right of the gate, and aim
for the heads of the visible villagers. I believe there are seven in all, but
one or two sometimes won't pop up (watch out for the one on top of the nearby
building, get him before you snipe if you can see him).
*Don't mind it if they drop stuff*
Once you pop out of the gate, one villager will be waiting and more will come.
I elected to stay near the gate and handle the mob. Many dynamite throwers will
come from up top, so aim for their live explosives if they get too close.
Somehow, the bombers ended up taking care of their buddies without me doing
much (so take a few shots at far away bombers). And remember, use the shotgun
to hit multiple enemies (may require a few close calls for a good shot).
*Two groups will charge at first and then a third after they die*
*Just wait until the coast is absolutely clear before venturing*
After the huge wave you have many options. The two high points you sniped a
few guys off of are great places to take out enemies from. You need the two
key items from two nearby chests. One is near a high point to the right on the
cliff; this is where I went first. Grabbing the half will spawn more Ganados,
two waves I think, but your position is fortified and you can use the red
barrel to help you take out a group. You can only hope that most of the bad
guys will come out and reveal themselves.
*From the small ledge, you may be able to snipe a few guys around the building
that is near the gate*
Drop from the cliff, and then to the ground. If the music is still on, but you
see no enemies, this means that someone is inside the shack to the south. It's
hard to tell you exactly what to do because most enemies require you to do
something before they will charge out. All I can say is that you can relax once
the music stops.
*You may try running up to a high point to snipe the remaining Ganados*
Collect the items in and around the shacks; use a R+G+Y herb if you are red on
health. Combine the hexagon pieces and leave.
*Lockers have items too!*

Ammo: 3

*Try to reframe from using health items, as there is free health at the end*
Collect the items around the entrance then go in and break the crate in here.
Open the door and take the villager out, three more come at you, but try to
take them out with only your Handgun.
When you reach the window, break the glass with your blade. Quickly jump in
and then take aim in the direction of the bad guys, when a bomb is thrown all
you need do is hit one and the fight is over. It actually isn't that hard to
hit the bombs, so trust me on this.
After this friendly fire, knife all the traps in your way. A few more enemies
will be on to you, so keep an eye on the door. Break the crates, open the
ovens, and then exit. In the water room (waterless on the PS2) break the wooden
window to grab the tucked away mask, and then grab the other items before you
enter the hallway.
There may be a guy down the hall (rifle). At end, use the rifle to shoot the
guy who yells and points at you. Jump to the water below for three goodies and
knife as many fish as you like to heal. Then exit.
*Take as many as you can carry, but toss them first if your case gets stuffed*

1.2 The Chief's House (1002tch)

Immediately, get back and don't spook the crows; shoot the closest one and then
aim for the wire to kill two birds with one stone (zing!). Watch out for the
traps (3), use your knife. Go to the well, remember shoot support, then watch,
and collect. Get stuff in shack and proceed to your first puzzle. Simply move
it UP and then LEFT. Go inside and collect the four things in the room. Then
exit for a scene.
*Return to the fancy room for a secret scene*
Collect the herb behind you and go downstairs. Collect the three items in the
rooms, but there is a villager in the bathroom by the stairs (don't bother).
Save.
When exiting the house, barely step out of the doorway. Take out your rifle
and aim for the chainsaw man up the path who stares at you. Depending on where
you hit him, one or two more villagers will come (sometimes you can hit one
right behind him). Take out the approaching maniac by shooting him when he
stands up, and sometimes you can stop him from starting up his chainsaw. Keep
some distance between you two. Collect the ruby he drops and continue until
another villager approaches; take him out.
*You may consider retreating back into the house for help taking out the
maniac, probably use the stairs to funnel him into sight*
Look up in the trees before the shack and shoot the nest. Near the shack
another enemy will come out. Get the herb and continue until you see some
more villagers. I would just snipe them all for easy kills. A TMP ammo
resides in a nest; may as well grab it and go.

1.3 The Village Pt 2 (1003vp2)
********************
Same as before on items, nothing new.
Just run to the metal door in front of the town square. As you would expect,
many villagers are in the way. I recommend not fighting at all, seeing as there
are a good number in the village and you will spend needed ammo if you fight.
I would just run around the locked barn, run right when you spot a woman,
squeeze between two buildings, run through the empty town center, and then exit
through the steel door with the insignia.
*If you must fight go into one of the houses and funnel the enemies*

Use a fish or something to recover life lost in the last area. Grab the stuff
and save. In the next room shoot the lantern, but stand back and then grab the
spinel. Open the door and drop into the tunnel.
Proceed until you reach the water, no zombies down here. Shoot the lantern to
reveal three treasures in the ceiling, then shoot the treasures (a random crate
is in a small hole in the wall). Then proceed to the merchant.
You should sell every treasure except the cup and the mask, and sell the big
fish if you still have it. Sell some stuff if your case is full. Don't really
need many upgrades. Up to you.
*NOTE: Capacity upgrades are good to use when you have little to no ammo for
a gun; you can try to plan the upgrades to get maximum ammo, but that is more
work than necessary. Also, I like putting items in my case in certain areas for
easy access, like guns toward the top. If you don't know, you can turn items
with the shoulder buttons.*
*NOTE: The TMP is good for beginners to buy here, since you may run out of ammo
for other weapons. If you want to buy it for safety, don't use it unless as a
last resort and save ammo for a boss fight. If you are confident you can do
without and want the open space, wait to buy it.*
Exit the area.

Two nest in the trees, grab the grenade and keep it for later. Hear the birds?
At the end of the path, shoot the three crows on the graves. Two villagers will
come, but those items won't be there forever. Now grab the stuff in the shack,
but wait, there are three medallions in the graveyard area. I would shoot them,
hopefully putting the count to ten, and go back to the last area to pick up the
Punisher for free!
*You can sell the Punisher back if you wish*
*ALTERNATE: Sell the handgun! Keep the Punisher. My reasoning, both were free
yet the Punisher has a cool ability. One upgrade of its power will put it at
1.00, which makes it just as strong as the Handgun. Try it if you want.*
Back in the graveyard, go to the church. Three villagers await, good time to
put that new gun to use (aim for the live dynamite). Shoot the nest and go
around the side behind the church for two more Ganados. Go ahead and fix the
puzzle: turn it by 3 increments until all symbols are on, then turn it by 4
increments five times, and then a 3 space turn for the Green Catseye. Stick it
in the Beerstein and go to the church for a scene.
*If you continue down the path before going to the church, you can have a
somewhat hidden conversation*
Take the scenic route on the cliff. Four villagers await, so don't
disappoint. In the shack grab the paper, knife the crate on the table
and knife the snake inside (first snake). Proceed to one last enemy before
exit.

I did for the space. Or you can sell the handgun, or keep both. Save.
*NOTE: The TMP is kept for most of the game, so upgrading it early is not a bad
idea. However, the Handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle are phased out in later chapters
so don't upgrade them beyond a few capacity and power upgrades, your call. I
got at least one power upgrade for all weapons but the Rifle. Save the
capacities till needed.*
*At least get the handgun all of its upgrades, and get the shotgun just a few
capacity and one power upgrade; only capacity for the rifle for now*

Grab the shack and proceed to another boulder sequence; be quick for the last
two buttons. Turn around for a spinel under the cliff.
You only need your handgun for the three enemies near the wire bombs. The one
at 12:00 is easy to blow up, as is the one in the water to the left. There is
another to the right, one in the tiny shack, and another in the water ahead.
Just handle them as you wish.
The music should start up, turn off after they are dead, and then come back on
when no one is around. That means there is a wave of five approaching from
behind. The rifle can take out two or more at a time, but it shouldn't be too
bad. After they are gone, another wave will come forth again, so do what you
just did. Don't miss the grenade by the water nearby.
After the two waves, proceed through the shack for the items (snake on the
shelf). Two more guys are in the water, and another nearby on the platform.
Shoot one in the water so he runs into the wire, and then take out the other
two from a distance. Run up to the platform, shoot the nest in the tree, grab
the red grenade, pick up the pipe by going into the water, and then go back
to the platform.
Shoot the enemy in the distance with your pistol so he blindly runs into the
wire. There is one last enemy in the shack (snake on a table), and then you
are free to leave.

Go up the path taking a left at the fork, and get a scene (yes, you will be

A treasure is in a nest, then get the stuff in the shack. Continue to the next
shack, collect items, save.
*Before getting in the boat, you can shoot the water while standing on the
dock, at least you saved!*
Get in the boat and get ready for your first boss battle with El Lago. Drive
forward to trigger the fight.
*Aiming the harpoon is the same as a gun*
EL Lago is the first boss battle of the game and is fairly easy; at least you
need not worry about weapons and ammo. The top priority is to avoid any logs in
the water as you are being dragged around. If you do fall off the boat, then be
quick to get back on the boat before Lago reaches you. I advise you to use the
harpoon only when you are clear of any logs.
EL Lago will constantly dive underwater. When he does this toward a side of
the lake move way out to the right to avoid his attack. Then try to harpoon him
but only when clear of trees. Try to get in two hits before he gets to the
other side of the lake.
Sometimes he will disappear and you will automatically be aiming. Look around
and hope he pops up in your view. If he doesn't use the red arrows to locate
him and fire the harpoon high when he is far away; put the sight right on his
mouth as he is closer and fire. If you hit him, he will not ram you into the
water. Rinse and repeat until he leaves/dies (I don't know which). You're not
done, cut the rope by pressing the button rapidly to finish the fight.
*Takes about 12 harpoons to finish; also if you fall into the water late in the
fight, you are less likely to make it back to the boat*

Grab stuff if you have room for it, and grab the paper then save. Outside you

Proceed a bit for your first encounter with a Las Plagas. Use the shotgun on it

the falls, jump over from platform to platform and go to the edge of the cliff
for a grenade. Take out your rifle and snipe the lone villager on the left side
in a structure, aim for the torso. Jump over the falls and drop down to the
bottom with the rope.
*Since it is now dark for the rest of the game, headshots up the odds of having
to fight a Las Plagas; so I would avoid the head as a killshot*
Turn around and shoot the spinel from the cliff, then collect some stuff on the
platform your victim was on. Go to the falls and aim right for the crate hooked
to a chain, shoot the box for your platform to cross. You can see a shinny
blink in the wood in front of the falls, shoot it for an Amber Ring. Go up the
ladder for a herb, then shoot the two crates for more platforms. Cross them
(random behind the ladder) then go up the ladder for a lever, pull it for
access to the cave behind the falls.
Go down and when you get over to the middle villagers will emerge. Try to use
only about four shotgun shells if you can help it.
You could also jump back across the water and drop each enemy into the river
as they approach.
Go through the path to the door, grab the key, and proceed.

*Alternate Choice: Only if you don't have the TMP, it just makes it harder.
Free up 16 boxes in the case, or whatever it takes to get a rocket to fit. A
rocket equals instant kill on the boss. The problem is space may be really
tight this early in the game. The TMP and four Flash Grenades equals the same

*NOTE: CUT fast and use the correct button to kill him more quickly (???)*
As soon as the battle starts throw a flash grenade, as it flies in the air get
out your TMP or something. Start shooting as he staggers and don't let up; I
was unable to make the Plagas appear with one TMP clip so quickly reload and
keep firing even if he approaches you. He SHOULD not hit you and instead reveal
the Plagas in his back for you to cut. Run up and cut (be warned, you may be
tricked into pressing the wrong button, as this fight introduces the second
button to press), press the correct button and be fast about it too.
*Avoid the shacks! Stay away and try to prevent him from crushing them!*
After this is done, repeat. Get out the flash and shoot fast; the dog you freed
way back in the beginning should appear to save you this time. While El Gigante
is trying to crush the dog, shoot him. Cut, flash, shoot, and the battle should
be over in three cuts. Collect the gold and other items lying about, and in
the shacks if they still remain. Exit.
*Alternate Choice: Just fire a rocket to end this fight.*
*Notice that his body does not fade away, interesting. Continue to save all
flash grenades*
*NOTE: This is a really easy battle for me; if you need more help or something
goes wrong, refer to the boss section for more help. You can always RETRY the
area.*
*NOTE: Other weapons work too! but most are slow. If you do something different
you will probably just need to heal yourself at some point and take his hits.*

The next part is very tough. Cross the bridge for a scene, then another.
*You may want to go back to the farm to do a quicksave, in case you die*
*Save four of the damaging grenades, if you want*
As soon as the battle starts block all windows on the bottom level and grab
the various items. Wait until they break in and unload; stay near Luis for both
items he may give and to help each other. Try to keep villagers from entering
the cabin; watch out for Plagas, they are what make this a tough area as Luis
will usually aim for the head. He provides a good way to earn kills so keep him
close. Stay near the stairs, but don't whimp out of getting good dropped items.
Use healing items when needed and be a surgeon with the shotgun.
*If you got the goods, don't be shy on blasting shells liberally*
*Just know that you need to kill a whole bunch of enemies (40)*
When Luis says, "Upstairs Leon!" go, because enemies will enter from the next
level. Quickly grab any items and drop the ladders as they come. This is where
it gets really tricky, as enemies now come from all sides! I let Luis do a lot
of the work as I would knock down ladders and shoot enemies. Use grenades if
needed, but save your flashes. Stay near a ladder and knock it down periodi-
cally while you shoot Ganados (just hope Luis covers you). Anyway, the battle
ends at some point and you are free to collect the items around the area.
*This battle will end, don't worry about that; and if you run out of shells,
consider going into the fetal position where Ashley is hiding.*
*Avoid shooting Luis too much, as he will kill you*
*Note: going upstairs to funnel the bottom enemies in the first level usually
never worked for me, so just fight it out on the first level.*
Several ammo boxes are near the house outside, as is a merchant, a paper, and
a save point. Save and grab whatever stuff seems good in preparation for
another fight with EL Gigante. Choose the right path and proceed.
*Make sure your TMP is fully upgraded and you have two flash grenades*
*Alternate Choice: get another rocket, especially if you lack either the TMP
or flash grenades. If you need space, and you plan to trade in the Shotgun,
go ahead and sell it now. You don't need it anymore, unless you plan to keep
it for some reason.*
*Note: Yes, you may go through the left path, but I don't like it that much. It
seems to take a lot more effort while you get less in return. Also, you have
already fought one Gigante before, so it should be easier. All that is worth
noting on the left side is a gem for the mask, big woop.*
***************************
2.3 Round 2 With EL Gigante (2003r2g)
***************************
All items are in your path.
This time, it should be a cakewalk for you. I know there are many things in
this area to help you, but with a 100 clip of TMP bullets it is easier just
to fight him in the first area.
Equip your flash grenades and run forward. Let Ashley run back to you then
throw a flash; as before, get out your TMP and unload until he reveals the
parasite. Tell Ashley to wait then run up and cut it.
Easy as that; do it again and make sure you press the correct buttons to dodge
his collapse. Unless you do something horribly wrong, that should be it; that
was all I had to do. Maybe I cut the parasite faster this time; so cut it fast
as well!
*Alternate Choice: stand back and fire over Ashley's head.*
*Did you notice that this time he faded away?*
*Note: This fight is optional. You can knock boulders onto him, shoot up the
doors, and grab the key to exit, but that's crazy! Be a good gamer and fight!*
After the battle, kick the door open and collect the plethora of items that you
would'a missed if you chickened out. Then break a crate on the side and get an
ammo on a the wall as well. Shoot the gem from a bucket up high. Grab the key
and make your way to the exit.
*Note: If you wish, turn around and go back to the lever to take the left path.
All I will say is HIDE Ashley.*

You can talk to the merchant, but no need. Just proceed past the big gate to
the chairlift thingy, and then snipe the two waiting Ganados on the left side.
And then get on (just get on at anytime). Try to snipe oncoming enemies in
groups of two or more, and no, you do not need headshots, just hit them. Be on
the lookout as enemies will just magically end up on lifts. Only the on one
before you will be empty.
*Don't reload the rifle unless you are completely out*
Collect the items in the lockers in the control station and go down the stairs.
Leave Ashley and do to the pathway into the cliff; get your handgun ready. As
soon as you round the corner, shoot the bomb in the villagers hand. Proceed up
the ladder and take out the last Ganados in the area, then collect your final
catseye for the Beerstein.
Go back, scoop up Ashley, and go down to the merchant (two in one area?). Grab
any ammo, sell the Beerstein, sell the mask, and save; onto the last boss fight
of the section. The TMP should be ready for use.

You need to choose one of these two methods to destroy the first form of this
boss. Both work really well, so it depends on which one you qualify for.
*******************************************************************************
This fight has been made easier thanks to Sgt Zeke. He has pointed out a very
useful trick that hopefully works on the Cube, I know it does for the PS2.
*On the Cube, all that is different is that there is more junk in the way of
your view.*
You can run around and try to fight him like a man, but if you would rather not
waste a lot of health and ammo for this first section of the fight then listen
to me. From the start point, turn around and go up the ladder. Run to the left
and then south, but stop when you get behind a "pillar" structure. You should
be near the other ladder and you should be able to see the ground through the
pillar. When he makes his way to your side, hug the wall and he should walk in
place.
*You must be directly behind the structure and next to the wall, or else he
may swipe at you.*
*Also, you may need to use his targeting to wrestle him into place, it is a
little hard to explain.*
Mendez might take a swing at you, but he should not reach. He will try to get
a better position to attack you from the ground. You will see him start to walk
your way, and he will get to the direct opposite side of the pillar. If you did
this correctly, he will walk in place and never be able to reach you. He should
just walk in one spot, but he may also do a little back-and-forth thing in a
small area. He may also break free and go to a side; all you have to do is get
him back into the spot by going in the opposite direction.
Now that he is stuck in place, whip out your handgun and shoot him through the
structure until he separates. This is highly recommended for the Pro, PS2 run
as one hit from him may kill you. Only takes about 40-50 shots. Easy.
*On the Gamecube, I believe it was much easier to outmanuveur him on the ground
so this may be unneeded, but it works just as well*
*******************************************************************************
*******************************************************************************
**Alternate Choice: This is a cool trick that works really well. Really, you
could use eight Incendiary Grenades and be done. But this is what I would
advise: as soon as the battle starts, toss a constant stream of the fire bombs
until Mendez splits in two. That's all, works on PRO too!
For the second form, you could even do the same. But I think anything will do
well on this form. Grenades can be used instead of fire.
*I would be suprised if this didn't work on the PS2*
Thanks to Dustin Orner for giving me this tip!**
*******************************************************************************
Once he separates, climb up the ladder to the north and get a gun out. Turn
around, locate him, and fire. The shotgun does good, shoot before he hits you.
Watch out for his attack when he gets close, but keep a good steady stream of
bullets on him. I guess use whathever gun is better for you.
*You could stay on the ground for the torso battle too, and continue tossing
grenades under him*
*I usually can't avoid being hit twice, so would help to have a few herbs*
After he is dead, pick up everything. Shoot the red barrel for a spinel. Ten
items in all, not including the jewel, bars, and eye. Jump out and exit.
*Don't reload any weapon! All you need is ONE bullet in the rifle*
(unless you plan to keep your weapons)
Go back up, save if needed, but you don't need to stop by the merchants. Go up
the chairlift (no enemies), go to the Retinal Scan and use the eye to exit.

a whole mess of villagers will follow (I have yet to see their origin, but I
believe they come out of the truck). Run to the left side and smash the barrels

Smash all crates in the area, may have a snake in one, and grab the gold bars
in the chest. Go into the shack, snag the herb, and meet this most crucial of
merchants in the game.
Sell your handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle; buy the Blacktail, Riot Gun, and Semi-
Auto Rifle. These shinny new weapons are about at the level of their former
selves with only a small margin of lessness (they have smaller capacity than
their predecessors). And of course buy the attache case Large upgrade for the
much needed room. Then you may get any number of upgrades available; I got the
Riot gun's power, Blacktail's all available, and the Rifle's all, all except
the capacities (more fun trying to max out capacity upgrades). Also a lone
TMP power booster, and don't forget the Scope. Get what you can and save.
*ALTERNATE: If you kept the Punisher, then you don't have to buy the Blacktail.
Just know that the Punisher will be about half as powerful as the Blacktail
when both are fully upgraded, but all else is about even.*
*ALTERNATE: Buy the Mine thrower, but not the scope. Trust me.*
*NOTE: Yes, you may keep every weapon and buy whatever, but you will get plenty
of money to buy anything in this runthrough. However, if you want to challenge
yourself a bit you can keep these weapons and never change; this means less
effort to obtain the new weapons in a Round 2. The old weapons will prove to
be archaic as they only upgrade to a point, which the newer weapons can easily
pass. All depends on your skill level.*
*NOTE: Yes, there are two other new guns: the Broken Butterfly and the Mine
Thrower. The BB will be free later so don't buy it, ever. The MT is great if
you're into that sort of thing*
*NOTE: The Riot Gun is a small improvement on the upgraded shotgun, but does
have improved handling. However, you won't have the Riot Gun for long either.
It will be sold by the last third of the game. Try to keep the old shotgun.*
*NOTE: Keep the rifle (on PS2 for sure), only drawback is bolt-action, but a
fully upgraded Rifle is deadlier than a SAR. Trust me. Up to you on the Cube,
as the exclusive upgrade isn't as strong.*
Get the new Rifle out and proceed to the first Castle fight, and it's a big
one (not really).

*Do not leave Ashley by the door, or anywhere, she will be carried away*
When you turn the corner, you will see two monk Ganados on the upper legde.
Shoot the one farther left then the other before he takes off. Grab the ammo
and go up the stairs to begin the barrage.
When the rocks land run quickly to the area where the monks patrolled. Go over
to the cannon and grab any items, then come back and quickly run to the next
section. Before proceeding, wait for two Ganados to approach from behind and
take them out.
*If you are able go to a spot right next to the cannon doorway, and backup a
bit. Look up to the very first catapult, see the enemy's head? Shoot him when
he is in sight, but I could barely see him. Shooting very close will take him
out, or wait till later; your call.*
When up top shoot the red barrel of the far catapult. After that aim for the
masked guy in the little building, don't shoot his head, and finish him when
he pops out. Then poke your head out of the stairs a bit more to shoot the red
barrel of the catapult over the stairs.
Run forward to shoot at the guys above the gate, as they can't hit you when you
are near the gate.
Collect the items in and around the building, then go over the bridge. Crank up
the cannon and fire! Proceed to through the new opening and shoot the torch by
the exit for a spinel, then talk to the merchant. New power boost for Riot Gun
and you may get whatever. Then leave.

*Here should be your first run-in with the instant-kill Las Plagas*
Grab the stuff in here including the sword on the wall. If you wish to play it
safe, then go to the bottom of the stairs and tell Ashley to wait. This should
trigger the cultists to approach and allow you to pick them off as they come
down. When you run upstairs another group will enter from below. If you want to
just toss incendiaries as they come up, and finish them off with the handgun or
whatever. Then snipe the red guy and his Plaga.
Replace the swords and put them in their matching place to exit, but don't
forget the items littering the room.

Go forward for a run-in with Luis, afterward leave Ashley there and go through
the small door. Kill cultists as they come, when they stop go around the
building where the red barrel is and shoot the guy if he is in the doorway
(when he comes to you, shoot the red barrel if he gets near it). Kill any
remaing Ganados then collect the items inside. Go to the window near the door
and snipe a guy up high. Go out through the open spot, and when you round the
corner of the building snipe the waiting cultist at the end of the path;
another will come, just snipe him through his shield and proceed.
In the small room gather the items (see the red barrel? I had success using it
on the Gamecube every time). When you nab the key to the castle, some guys will
pour in to get you (I would always shoot the barrel and that would be it). Aim
for the barrel and take out whoever remains (on the PS2, they would pour in by
little waves and I could not get them in one shot).
Back to the gate, grab Ashley and enter the Castle.

Go up and see the new enemy of the castle section. Collect the items in jars
and look up over the archway for a gem; save.
*Yes, you are taking a big detour in order to advance*
In the next room are a few goodies, even some gold behind a portrait, then grab
the fine reading on the wall. There is a key on the picture on the right wall
in the fire room, grab it and go back to the door in the other part. Leave
Ashley at the top of the stairs.
This prison holds a new enemy type, the Garrador. I consider them a mini boss
and will tell you how to beat them now. Grab the herb and the ammo above the
wooden beam, then knock down the metal door. Don't be stupid and shoot him now,
he is not damaged. His weak spot is his back, the big Plaga attached to his
spinal cord to be precise.
Walking into the cell activates him, so quickly back out. Notice the two
curiously placed bells in the prison? They are your friend in this spot, so
break out the Blacktail and shoot a bell. The blind Garrador will get his
claw stuck in the wall where the bell was; now whip out your trusty rifle and
fire at his Plaga. IF you are LUCKY, he will stagger into a position allowing
yet another shot at the Plaga; only shoot it from the side or back. When he
is on his feet, he may charge the spot you last shot from so back away.
*The mines work good to stagger him for a sniper bullet*
Shoot the other bell and snipe him again. Now the waiting game begins; he will
walk around the center pillar waiting for you, you should do the same waiting
for the perfect shot. Use hand grenades by throwing them behind him. Four
rifle shots and he is finished. Collect the prize and pull the cleverly placed
lever in the cell.
*Or you can shoot at him while standing by a wall, and then move to let him get
stuck in the wall; just in case the two bells aren't enough*
Go back for Ashley and some cult dudes will approach, shoot the lantern to burn
a few alive. Handle the rest and round the corner, if you are fast enough, you
can shoot the dynamite in the bomber's hand to take the group out. Otherwise,
avoid being blown up and kill the archers. If the bomber fled he will be by
another cult follower to the left in the next room. Grab the ammo and get a
hand grenade (along with your wits) ready for the next battle.

*This area is much harder on Professional difficulty*
Run forward and chuck your grenade up the middle. Whip out the old Riot gun and
blast away. The cultists will try to swarm you so don't allow it. Keep Ashley
safe since it is particularly easy for them to carry her away. Try to back up
to a corner. Remember, shields are unaffected by handguns. More will pour in
from the sides as you waste the originals.
*NOTE: you could also just run to the room and kill them as they enter.*
*Two archers will be firing at you on Professional difficulty*
When all is clear collect the items around the water area, then go down the
stairs and take out a cult follower. Smash the jars, enter the room, collect
the items, leave Ashley on one pad, and you stand on the other. Don't rush
outside just yet, instead call Ashley to your side and wait. Cultists will
come in through the doorway two at a time, and two will drop from the hole in
the ceiling. When the coast seems clear, exit and deal with the rift-raft that
remain. Leave Ashley in a spot, then snipe the archers on the ledges one at a
time by going to the opposite side and popping out while they reload. Do it two
times and then go to the raised crank; either put Ashley on it or do it
yourself if the coast is clear.
*About five scythe-toting Ganados will rush you on Professional difficulty once
the stairs lower*
Collect the items on either side up here then proceed; Ashley will let you in
on what to do next. Grab the ammo in the jars then PIGGYBACK Ashley to the
right side (just a preference). Get out your rifle and snipe the cultists on
her side first, then shoot any approaching you, and then any on the opposite
ledge. After that, shoot any more coming after her. Only two waves should
bother you. She will bring the first platform up and then switch sides. Kill
the guys on the side she is approaching. Rinse and repeat. Once the last
platform is up, go to the CATCH point and catch; cross the water to kiss this
place goodbye.
*Don't reload any empty weapons, you know the drill*

This merchant allows some nice upgrading. So do so as you wish. Once you
are done, go inside the blue door. At least grab and read the paper for the
shooting range. I recommend not wasting time here. If you must, do a few rounds
and collect the first row of bottle caps for a cash reward.
Back in the room, save. Go up the hall for a scene. This is nice, now you are
free to think about yourself only. When the scene is over enter the door on

*any rifle bullet to the eye for these guys means death, so if you trust your
skills, you can try for the one shot kills*
Grab the stuff and enter the sewers. Walk forward and notice the sound in the
hole on the left wall? Turn the corner and go into the tunnel with the crate at
the end, then come back and pull out your rifle. Aim toward the end of the hall
and do you see it? Shoot where the breath is eminating from. Proceed and
collect the colored eye he dropped (you just killed a Novistador). Proceed with
caution by hugging the wall opposite the railing; when you reach the wall aim
into the pit and shoot the waiting Novistadors in the water. Jump down and grab
the various items in the water, don't miss the pipe, and climb up.
*The eye color depends on what color its eyes were when it died; in order of
value and rarity: blue, red, and green*
Open the door and pull out your shotgun for the prison part. You may as well
walk up and fight the enemy in the hole in the ceiling, though it is possible
to snipe him I never pulled it off. Aim for the head of course, but be warned
that when they are knocked down they usually fling themselves to the ceiling
and come after you. Be a surgeon with the your Riot Gun. Another is in a cell
so get him to come out; the music still plays. Go up the hallway and hug the
left wall, as soon as you can look around the corner pull out your Rifle and
take out the last Novistador. Go back to the first part and collect the various
items in the cells, as well as a very informative paper on parasites.
Go back up the hallway, through the cells, and into the pump room. Grab the
things in here including a cool Butterfly Lamp that takes the three colors of
eyes. Turn the valve and whip out your Rifle, again. Open the door and barely
tiptoe out just so you can see the two insects clinged to the ceiling-hole.
Shoot both with haste and collect their items, then run back to the first
hallway but bring your riot gun with you as an enemy will burst out of the last
closed cell. I don't think there are any more, but proceed with caution. Drop
down to the drained pit and kick down the door, then RUN up the stairs in front
of you, do an about face, and blow the last Novistador away.
*Either on PRO or PS2: you will face an extra one in the ceiling hole after the
one who bursts from the cell and before the last bug on your way out*
*Remember the sound in the very first sewer? You can go all the way back for
another Novistador eye (not worth it)*
Go up the steps collecting the items then go to the final part of this area.
Pendulums! You need only a small background in platform gaming to pass these
blades. Get right in front of them, when they pass by you immediately run
forward, and repeat with jumping where appropriate. Grab the treasure on the
floor, climb up, and grab the last items. Get out a flash grenade and exit.
*With any luck you may or may not have a completed Lamp, don't worry if not*

*Keep one green grenade*
*if you got a lot of green nades, feel free to use one instead*
Yes, time to plan your own trap. There are many ways to proceed: you could just
scare them off and not worry, take out a few, or you could get the whole gang.
I recommend going to the edge and tossing the flash grenade their way, but not
right on the edge or you will be spotted (RETRY). When all are stunned, quickly
hop down and either toss a hand grenade, or run up north toward the typewriter
to seal them all in. Now they are all easy pickings for a hand grenade, but the
leader will reveal a Plaga so handle that. They should drop anywhere from six
to ten spinels and the leader's pendant.
*Rocket Launcher does them all in with one shot, but that defeats the purpose*
Go back up to the ledge with the ladder in the back, and cross to the other
side with the chandelier. Grab the items and cross to the other side with the
other chandelier; snag the mask and pull the lever. Meet with the merchant and
upgrade as you see fit, but don't sell all your eyes, you need them for the
lamp. Save, and then exit through the top door.
*You may be tempted to max out the Riot Gun, but it is going to be phased out
in a little while, so keep that in mind*

*Changes on Professional; still, save one green grenade*
Nab the herb and go into the next room. Get the ammo and paper on the table, go
out the door with rifle in hand. Don't move and quickly snipe the two archers,
snipe the two masked dudes, and then off the cultist below. One more is on the
other side of the center column, don't let him scare you; smash all the pots
and then enter the door. Smash the barrels and kill the enemy at the top of the
stairs. Go to the balcony, grab the ammo on the table, and get the rifle out;
go to the locked door then jump down.
*A red barrel is by the archers as well; cultists will come out if you did
not kill them earlier*
If you do the following correctly, I believe you can snipe the red cultist on
the balcony before having to chase the gatling gun. Turn around and snipe him
quickly, it will take quite a few shots; good job if you kill him! If not, then
he will go through the door. Grab the shotgun shells and pesetas then follow
his lead; get out the shotgun. As soon as you open the door, blast him before
he runs, or run around the shieldist to chase him down; good job if you take
him out now! If not, handle the dude and prepare to dodge a barrage of bullets
(I believe your first run-in with modern weaponry). Run out the door in between
the bullets and avoid being hit by running around the base of the gun. Shotgun
his back as he reloads, and then grab the key once he falls.
After you get the key, go up and through the gallery door. Shoot the deer and
grab any items. This puzzle has several solutions: push 1, push 3, push 2,
push 4, and then OK, go to the next area for a scene.
Quickly run into the door to the right after the scene ends. Turn around and
equip any Incendiaries, throw them at the bottom of the stairs when the Ganados
enter (about 4 guys). Then archers will appear on the top level, some guys will
come through the top door so take them out. Grab the yellow herb and run out
to chase down the archers (use the lanterns to burn a few). More will come out
of the revolving doors, also there will be two rocket toting cultists that will
pop out from behind a picture on the north wall, only if you go that way. Once
all are dealt with collect the odd items lying on both levels. Push the red
button near the picture and run to the west side before you are blown away (you
can shoot the dudes, but just run). Go in the door, break the jar, and push
that button. Run to the door, don't open it! and run back so the rocket guys
waste their shot; go out and kill them at last. Nab the goat ornament and exit.
*Guys with scythes will surround you when you come out of the door on Pro*

*A hand grenade helps in the next area after this one*
Go right until a conversation, yes you must tread through this maze. Go down
the steps and ready your Riot gun. Smash the barrels and when you go to pick
up the items, a Colmillos will attack! Fire two shells and that should be it.
Go around the center structure and grab a herb, then come back and take the
path to the left (south). You should be by a gate with two dogs in the nearby
cage, running in place. Whip out your rifle and snipe one through the open
space where the hedge is not touching the gate (should be obvious); the other
will burst out and chase you, so kill him when he breaks down the gate.
Head east, past the stairs and have your riot gun in hand. Turn north by the
wall and follow the path to a chest with ammo; as soon as you pick the ammo up,
two pups will rush you (one through the path, the other will jump through the
hedge). Do a 180 to face them.
Go back to the stairs and cross them to the other side, and pick up the item
in the chest to the left. Go to the fountain and pick up the first piece of the
moonstone; equip an Incendiary. When you approach the steps three more dogs
will rush you. I advise tossing the grenade in front of the steps, hopefully
taking out all three (shotgun any survivors). Return to the cage.
From here head west all the way to the wall and snag the herb. Come back a bit
and go north, but as soon as you begin taking the path a Colmillos will charge
you from behind (turn around when you here the beast!). Go up and turn into the
short path for a red gem. Now, you can go right for the last moonstone and make
a beeline for the exit, but there are more things to get! Take the path under
the bridge and turn around in anticipation for a beast. Continue and don't
worry about the sound of the dog. Go to the little path and grab the first aid
spray, then whip out something powerful (rifle). Kill the slightly stronger
than usual Colmillos in the last pen (he may or may not burst out).
*Don't reload your shotgun if you want an upgrade soon*
Go east from here, and try to sneak up on the last dog in the area. Grab the
spinel in the ground and head back to the stairs you didn't take. Go up and
nab the other half of the moonstone. Hop down and head for the locked door to
use the complete moonstone (back toward the start). Enter for the cool scene.
*I don't know if there are more dogs to run into, just do as I say...*
After the scene, snatch two treasures, the paper, and the other items in the
rooms. Merchant time! Various upgrades, but don't go crazy. Save and exit.

A quite spot, for now. Grab the odd items on the tables and head through the
southern exit.
An old place, but now you are in a new room. Take the numerous items around
here and kick the lock (snake in one!). Then back to the dinner hall.
When you return go to the strange bell counter, and duh, ring the bell. The
picture may seem odd, but just shoot the wine glass with a steady held pistol.
Now, several things may happen here: a Garrador may fight you, nothing but
cultists will fight you, or you have a grenade (you better have one if you've
been paying attention). Depends on your luck! Go into the unbarred room and
toward the center for a trap. A blind maniac may fall in the cage (usually
for me) and more enemies will surround the area. You can be smart and fight the
whole bunch (not!) or just go in with a grenade in hand and blast the lock off
a door, then run out of the whole room.
If you do not have a hand grenade, poor you. You will have to deal with the
Garrador somehow; if no Garrador, then blast away! I would recommend tossing
an Incendiary at the Garrador then quickly blast away a lock with the riot
gun; hightail it out of there once again. If you fight, good luck; you will
probably take many hits by fighting both the cultists and the maniac at the
same time. Three items are in this part, if you survive.
*You will be back, so you can pick up the items then*
*If you are facing a Garrador and make it out of the cage, then go back to the
dinner area and handle him as you wish; this also eliminates the archer factor*
*NOTE: I think the game will cut you slack if you keep dying here, and
eventually let you fight pure cultists. However, no such luck for Pro.*

Get out your rifle, or whatever, and go to town on the band of Ganados in this

acid; one shot does it for them. Kill the visible ones and then hop down, first
collect any items then flip the switch. Go back up and get out a pistol; once
you start to cross the bridge more enemies will surround you. Shoot the lantern
when the forward enemies burst from the door, then turn and kill the others
from the other door.
Get out your rifle and head to the area behind the wall, take out the bowman in
the far window. Snatch the pesetas on the table then drop down, and go up the
stairs to face any enemies behind the locked door. Yes, there is a shinny new
rocket launcher in the glass on the floor; first grab all the items around it
(aim the gun at the desired item if you have trouble). Pick up the velvet blue
in the drawer, kick open the locked door, and cross the bridge. Take the few
items in the hall, and then meet this important merchant; buy the XL upgrade at
least. You should have more than enough space for the rocket now. Go back, pick

Once the enemies start flowing, your best course of action would be to keep
your aim on Ashley and shoot the heads of anyone who gets close. At some point
some archers will rush in and start shooting you; take them out first and keep
an eye on the girl. Kill the red cultist and continue to snipe Ganados.
After all is clear, Ashley will pick up the key and begin her quest.

Grab the spinel and herb in the room, then save if you like. See the enemy up
ahead, what will you do? Run up and all the way to the gate to the right, and
CRAWL under the table. You should be near a lantern that has the THROW option
when nearby. This is your only weapon so use it wisely; hurl it when the enemy
gets real close like. There are two more lanterns in the room at different
locations, don't waste. Collect the herb then go to the next room. You can also
exit through a small hole in the right corner of the room by crawling under a
table and crawling to the next part (do this if you can't kill the enemy, or
don't care to).
*NOTE: the number of lanterns to kill him depends on your skill. Example: on
my first runthrough, I believe it took two to kill him. But on my most recent
(and best) game it took all three. On Pro, three for sure.*
In the next room, rinse and repeat the killing process. You may be able to trap
the guy in the first room, but don't overcomplicate things, just kill him (you
can always RETRY). Collect the items in both pieces of furniture, and then
crank both dials. Grab the herb then go into the small room for more items;
grab the items in drawers and the paper. Go out and then exit.

do! Pick up the two items and proceed down the dark hallway, nothing will
happen at point in time.
*A spinel rests on a chair in the hall on the Cube*
Yes, another puzzle, worst of all its a jigsaw puzzle! Here is the solution:
This is the key: 1 2 3

6, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 8, 9, 6, 5, 2, 1, 4, 7, 8, 5, 6, 9, then insert the tablet.
If you do not understand, match up the numbers to the puzzle slides; put the
cursor on the numbered slide and move it, the cursor should move to an
adjacent slide always.
Hope I helped. Go into the room, grab the three items. The ornament slot will
be replaced with the key to get out of here; once you grab it prepare to dodge
some big axes. The room will open and let the four living Armaduras in to get
you. No use trying to fight, just run! Use the table to out manuever them; when
they get close to the south side of the room, run up the side of the table and
out the door (stay still and wait for them to get real close).
*Try to avoid healing, but if you are hit use a green herb*
Run back from whence you came, but watch out for the two statues in the hall;
press the correct button combos, or you will lose lots of life. When you are
back to the gate room, push the first button you see; now the Armaduras are
stuck behind the gate. Or you could just run out the door, but be ready for the
final statue near the exit.
*If you are hurt, no need healing once you are out of here*
Go to the fancy room in front of you, insert the insignia in the dial, and then
turn it to be free at last. Climb up, grab the pesetas, and exit.

Backtracking, no new items in old places.
Alright, back together at last. Now you can obtain the last free weapon in the
game, but it was way back there. Go back to the dinner hall.
In the dinner hall, scythe enemies will be waiting, three in the cage room, two
by the dinner tables, and one by the exit (if you didn't get the items in the
cage area the first time, get the three now). Exit via the southern exit.
*NOTE: Two Novistadors are in the storage room on the Gamecube version, I'm
sure. On the PS2, so far they are not waiting for you. Snipe them on the GC.*
Get through the room and go to the fountain area. Go up to the door, and do the
PIGGYBACK thing by the window; go inside and collect some big rewards for your
efforts (Broken Butterfly, Perfume, herb, and gold). Now make your way back to
the spot where you met Ashley (no need to save at any point).
*ALTERNATE: Buy the Mine Thrower to make life easier in the next area; you do

Try to snipe both dragon operators quickly! Move toward the stairs and snipe
them when they appear on each side of the room. If you miss or don't have two
bullets, I hope you're good with a pistol. They will have two chests rise in
seperate parts of the room when killed.
*ALTERNATE: If you bought the mine thrower, it works even better here. Just
make sure you can aim to any spot on the dragons; fire, and this should kill
the operator, easy.*
*Double ALT!: you can also shoot the chains above the dragons to fell them, but
I don't think you can do it with a sniper round.*
Continue, jump the gaps, and kill the two cultists in your way. Run north to
the heat shields after the dragon emerges, kill the Ganados that pour from the
tower. When they are dealt with, get to one end of a heat shield, wait for the
fire to hit your end, and then run to the other side of the platform for a good
sight on the operator (don't get burned); take the shot. It is not that hard.
Snatch the last ornament and go back to your girl.
*The quicker you kill the last operator, the quicker the stream of badies will
stop. The mine thrower does wonders for this.*
*I got another neat trick: when you get to the last area, as the cutscene
starts up, press start and skip the scene, run to one side, then run to the
other, and you should have plenty of time to snipe the last operator.*
No need to save. Take the train to get to where you need to be; get any items
then go to an old hangout place.
Place the three ornaments into the big door, go up the stairs, smash the jar,
topple the painting for gold, and continue on.
Hop the railings on both sides for items and then take a little trip. At the
end, smash any jars, then topple the painting for more gold, and exit.

There are many things in this room. Grab the grenade ahead of you, then go to
the area with open windows, and shoot down all five treasures in the statues.
Go back and into the room with a big table, pick up the three things, and read
the paper. Go into the smaller room, pick up several items, and talk with the
merchant. Some good TMP and rifle upgrades so grab them; I had tons of little
treasures to sell him.
*I would advise holding onto the revolver; the Striker is not far away*
You may collect more bottle caps if you wish at the range (remember, you will
only be paid if you get all six). Then you may exit to either the left or right
room; you will go into both either way.

4.1 Close Calls (4001ccs)

If you take the left door first, you will be greeted by a puzzle. Just push
the two statues onto pressure pads, leave Ashley on one, and you step on the
other. Go through the open door, watch the scene.
Whip out your Blacktail and quickly shoot the four blinking lights on the
falling ceiling, you should have plenty of time. Grab the ammo in the corner of
the room and proceed down the hall.
Ashley will be locked behind a door with a drill machine coming her way. Pull
out your rifle and snipe them both, and if you're out of ammo you will have to
snipe with a handgun. Grab the numerous items in the room (7-8), kick the
door open, and exit.
Go to the right door.

4.1 Armored Entanglement (4001ent)
************************

Leave Ashley toward the door and proceed. Grab the ammo, see all the knights?
Only two will suprise you (one on each side), so be ready. Go into the room at
the end and search it for two items, then grab the Grail.
Three Armaduras will spring out. Now, you can waste your rocket here, but only
if you have to. Shoot the knights to make them kneel, run past them, dodge the
blows, and whatever else to avoid being sliced up. A few shotgun blasts should
make the Plagas inside emerge; try to make all three Plagas reveal themselves
so you can toss a flash grenade to kill them all. If no such luck, handle the
Plagas like any other Ganados'. Collect any items they drop.
*A magnum weapon brings them down very quickly, sometimes hits two with one
bullet*
Three more will enter, they may be slightly stronger, but don't quote me. Do
more of the same, use hand grenades if necessary. Try to kill all Plagas in
one shot, and that will be all. Go out and exit.
*The last three are easy if you got the mine gun; there is a big delay between
the first group and the second. Just whip out the gun fire it as the door spins
open to reveal one of the knights, then do it again for as long as you see fit.
This tactic is recommended for Pro, as two hits from them will kill you*

4.1 Insects Worth a Fortune (4001iwf)

Go to the merchant if needed. The next fight is easy with either a grenade or
the rifle, your call. Leave Ashley by the merchant room door and go to the
window hallway; kill the seven or so cultists in any manner. Call her back, and
go up to the pink and blue statues; yes, place in the correct grail into the
corresponding hands. Go through.
Collect the items in the jars, the cabinets, and jump out the window (a snake
in a jar). Grab the herb on the balcony and go up the ladder; another Butterfly
Lamp by the window. Jump down and catch her, then go to the center for a mixed
blessing.
*Shoot the hive for a full set of eyes for the new lamp*
Kill all Novistadors while they are airborne. Try to shoot them onto solid
ground for their eyes. Shake'em off if they get you; the Riot gun is the
weapon of choice for the short fight. Collect all treasures and go to the
lever. After you pull it, shoot the two chains, and exit.
*You can run through the doors and let the insects funnel to you, but they take
more to kill when they start walking*

4.1 Siege of the Clock Tower (4001sct)

Grab the ammo, talk to the merchant, and save; riot gun is almost gone. Proceed
and smash the barrels; shoot the torch for a spinel. Go up for a quick scene,
and then go up more to activate the catapults. Run up the stairs and kill the
four dudes waiting for you. Now, you can run east and south and enter the
clock tower. Just go to a corner with your rifle and snipe the engine drivers
to proceed safely; two barrels are on the south side. Go inside the tower.
*IMPORTANT: Ignore the catapult part. After you snipe the first wandering cult
guy, wait for the other to walk into view. If you kill him and then go up the
stairs, you shouldn't have to fight the catapults. Make sure you kill two
before going up for this to work.*
*Save your B. Lamp if still incomplete*

4.1 Storming the Tower (4001stt)

Move forward, see the piece of wood in the gears? Shoot it and the one above
you a bit upward (go up to shoot if you can't see it). Go up to the next level
collect the stuff, and go up one more. Go to the table for a herb and a paper,
turn to the lever, but shoot the last block next to it first; now pull the
lever.
The bridge is ready to go, but Ganados swarm the tower. Go down and one cross-
bowman should be firing at you; go down again for two more. When you drop to
the bottom level, you will be trapped, sort of. Go back up the ladder, kill
the cultist approaching you, but not the dynamite thrower; stay near the
ladder, and keep him in view so he will toss bombs onto his approaching pals.
Kill him then kill any survivors, drop down, kill the last archer, collect the
various items, and exit.

4.1 Nasty Encounter (4001nec)

Outside, three shieldists will approach so take them out with a grenade. Run
forward to activate a trap; you will once again be surrounded from both sides
of the bridge. Throw a grenade at the front enemies, then run back to the doors
and kill the two cultists waiting. Pull out your best weapon (sans TMP) and
blast away the pouring enemies from across the bridge. Many crawling Plagas
should appear from their hosts' heads. Wait for all to die, and kill the leader
for his bangle then enter the next area.
*A save point will be here on the PS2, not needed though*
The next area has two Garradors and many cultists! The Garradors are difficult
to fight, but it is possible. I recommend now as the time to use your free
rocket launcher. Aim down the room to the doors in between both Garradors and
fire; do so immediately once you enter. They should fall and leave only the
cultists to battle you. Kill them all, including a wave from behind once you
advance through the room. Be quick to grab the Garradors' treasure or it will
disappear fast, and pick up all items in the corners. Go through the door and
pick up the two spinels before proceeding. Watch the scene, but be quick to
the correct button press while you fall.
*On Pro, or with massive skill, one armored Garrador will survive the rocket,
but only takes one sniper shot (use the bells) or let him stick his claws into
the wall on his first charge, but don't let the first Garrador's treasure
disappear.*

Collect the spinel, crown, ammo, and herb in the gruesome pit. BUY THE
FREAKING ROCKET LAUNCHER! Save and go up the ladder. Proceed, checking the
pipes in the walls for three items in the sewer, then exit.
*Get the new Striker if you can, and you should have the money after you sell
either the Riot Gun or Shotgun. But put the RL first.*
*Yes, the rocket is for the thing following you! Don't sell the crown*

4.1 Battle With the Right Hand (4001brh)
******************************

Run into the room to the right, I know it's here. Pick up the items on the
table and check the elevator. Pull out your newst weapon and run out the door.
You will be jabbed at from the ceiling and floor, so do the correct presses
(will happen about 5-8 times). Run to the end of the hallway and into the room,
ignore the items and just run to the back corner of the room. Pull the lever,
you should be jabbed at, and then run to the locked door, press the button.
Now, the fight is on. You can do any of the following: battle him, battle him
but wait to exit the room and to get on the elevator, or fight the second
easiest boss fight in the game. Do the last one for kicks. Try to shoot him
once he appears, but run past him (you most likely will take a swipe). Run to
the liquid nitrogen tank and push it over to freeze him cold. Pull out the
Rocket Launcher, aim, and shatter him into a million pieces. This nets you an
easy treasure and unlocks the doors; congrats, you won! Pick up the items in
the room, also in the other room, and then take the elevator.
*Treasure fits into crown, one more to go*
*NOTE: This is an optional boss. I avoided him on my first game, but it took a
lot of time. Fighting him the old fashion way takes just as much time. Refer
to boss section if you did not bring a rocket, but you should'a, it was the
only weapon you really needed.*
