Easy Money
To earn easy money while playing through the game again, carry an empty Handcannon. It costs no money to have, but you will pick up
ammunition for it occasionally. This is worth more than any other type of ammo in the game. After collecting the ammunition, sell it to
the merchant. Try using the Chicago Typewriter as your main gun while doing this.
When you get to the church, shoot the bell. Every three times you shoot it, some villagers will appear. Kill them and you will
receive anything from Pesetas to ammo and herbs. You may do this as many times as desired. Its effective if you have a lot of ammo or the Chicago Typewriter.
Defeat Regenerators
If you find your rifle is empty, you can also defeat the Regenerator by shooting a mine into the spot around the parasite.
If it is on its back, just shoot out its legs with your handgun then fire a mine into its back. If this does not work, scout out
where the parasite is on the Regenerator and try again.
When low on bullets, shoot the Regenerator in the leg with a powerful gun (for example, the magnum, rifle, or shotgun). It will
fall to the ground. Run up to it and attack it with the knife. Once you start attacking it, it will not be able to fight back or stand up.
Keep attacking it until it dies. Note: Regenerators can attack you while they are on the ground, so you may get hit once. However, this
technique saves much needed ammunition for the island and sewers. Make sure to have at least an Herb and be ready for an action command.
Defeat Milita
Instead of shooting for their head, shoot them in the knee then walk up to them. Instead "Kick", "Suplex" will appear.
This will usually kill them instantly. This will not work if their head is armored.
Defeat Krauser
When fighting Krauser, it is easier to fight him using your knife than shooting him. If you shoot him, he will usually block and counter.
To avoid this, slash him three or four times. He will then either kneel or flinch. When he does this, take out your
strongest weapon and shoot him. If you are low on bullets, you can use grenades and mines. If you are playing Separate Ways, it is easier
to use your knife the entire time.
Defeat El Gigante
Use the following trick to defeat the Chainsaw Ganados on the mine cart easily. Make sure you have a Rocket Launcher and the Broken
Butterfly Magnum from the castle. Also, have over six magnum rounds. When the first Chainsaw Ganado appears, shoot the Rocket Launcher at
him before the other Ganados get in the way. For the second one, pump all your Magnum rounds into him. If that does not kill him, then use
your Striker or Riot Gun. Note: You might get damaged during all of this; make sure that you have at least three First Aid Sprays, and two
Herb Mixes (Green, Red, or Green, Red, Yellow) to use if your health gets too low.
Mercenaries Mode: Easy Unlockable Characters
When starting Mercenaries mode, play as Leon and go to the castle. It is much easier to get a good ranking because you can give the enemies a suplex, which almost always
kills them in one hit. When you get Krauser from the castle you can then go to other areas, and it will make it much easier because of his arm
