Note: This trick requires the basic sniper rifle fully upgraded with the
Exclusive Upgrade. Make a note of the dodge actions at various times during this battle.
Start off by running to the side of the platform on the top. Quickly shoot the tentacle in
front of you, making sure that you dodge if needed. With the upgraded sniper rifle, it
will only take one shot for the tentacle to retract. Ignore Salazar's eye and other
tentacles. Only focus on the tentacle closest to you. After some point, Salazar himself
will emerge from the upper back of the monster. Use your sniper to pick him off. After you
get about two shots in, he will go back into hiding. By now that tentacle should have
returned. Shoot it once to take care of it for awhile. Repeat the process of shooting
Salazar and the tentacle, and the battle will cause Leon to take little damage. If you run
out of ammunition for the sniper rifle, either drop down and look for more in the barrels
(but be prepared to fight the spider-like parasites or run pass them), or use your
Punisher to snipe Salazar and just dodge the tentacle.

When you are in the castle, you may find a rocket launcher in the room where you must
make a bridge to get to the other side. Take the rocket launcher but do not use it. Wait
for your fight with Salazar to use it to end Chapter 4 easily. Immediately before the Boss
battle with Salazar, take the TMP, the rocket launcher, some herbs, and a shotgun (Striker
recommended, but the Riot Gun works). When you enter the room, watch Salazar fuse with the
monster, then get to work. Use the shotgun or TMP on the tentacle to your left until it
goes away. Grab the item that is at the end, then fire with the TMP until Salazar appears.
Then, equip that rocket launcher and fire for a one hit kill. Get the 30,000 or 50,000
Peseta that he drops. This will pay for the rocket you used, and you will save health for
the next chapter. Once the Pesata is collected, go down into the pit and pick up the
remaining items. You can then leave and proceed to Chapter 5.

To avoid getting hurt by traps such as explosives and bear traps, use your laser sight and
shoot at the explosive or the middle of the trap.

The main monsters to look out for are the two chainsaw ladies on stage 1. Once you kill
them, they keep coming back. On stage 2 and 3 be careful of the guys with the chain guns.
On stage 4, there is a super chainsaw man. He is bigger than the normal one and has a twin
bladed saw. He is almost impossible to stop. He does not climb ladders. He jumps to where
he needs to be. He will run at you, swinging the saw. Do not run past him. Turn and jump
down if you can, or climb something quickly. If you really want to get past him, try using
Jack Krauser's transformation, and aim right at him. If you miss, you are dead.
Additionally, Krauser's transformation will kill anyone in one hit as long as you are
close enough. Also Flash Bang, Kick are very good for crowds with Krauser. These two
things will make Krauser the easiest to get five stars with.

If you see a snake after smashing boxes, kill it. You will get a chicken egg for health.
Note: If you do not kill the snake it will bite you and take health away.

Collect some eggs, equip them, and throw them at Ashley. They will not harm her and it is
funny. Aim from a distance to get used to them. They are lighter than a grenade and fly
far when thrown. Note: She will duck when in close proximity.

After you kill the hatchet guy as soon as you start the game, go upstairs to the window.
Do not jump out. Instead, take out your pistol and shoot the glass out. Then, carefully
aim for the villagers' heads that are awaiting outside. There are three of them. If you
kill all three, you can jump out and avoid any damage.

The zombie dogs are brown colored. You will find one in the beginning. The zombie dogs
will not attack you until you meet Chief Mendez. The dogs will have parasites sticking out
of them after chapter 3. A shotgun will kill them easily. Note: Do not kill the
white dog in the trap. It will help you fight the Gigante.

At the beginning of the game, if you leave a hen alone in Pueblo they should lay at least
one golden egg (which fully restores health when used). Go to the weapon/health screen and
select the egg. It should allow you to equip the egg. At the screen, Leon will throw the
egg up and down, looking smug. Additionally, the golden egg is the best healing item, as
it fully heals you and only takes one space in your case.

If you are able to hit the flying insect enemies in the cave area while they are airborne,
they will die in just one hit. Any weapon works, though the shotgun is recommended. This
will help conserve your ammunition. If they manage to land, you will use about three to
four shogun rounds from a Stock Striker (firepower 6.0).

When inside the castle, an obstacle blocks your path (two fire breathing statues) To shut
it off, you must enter the prison (the key is on a painting near the obstacle). When you
go into the prison, equip either the TMP or shotgun and tell Ashley to wait atop the
stairs. After the intermission sequence showing what the boss looks like, kick down the
cell door and get close to the switch to initiate the battle. If you go up the stairs to
try to escape, the door will shut. Try walking as much as possible, as he is sensitive to
sound. You can use the bells at each end of the prison by shooting at them, but they can
only be used once. Stay close to walls so that he gets stuck when he tries to attack you.
Do your best to avoid his attacks, as they take much damage and there is only one Green
Herb in the area. His only weakness is the spider thing on his back. When he is stuck in a
wall, concentrate all of your firepower on the the weak point until he recuperates. After
awhile, he will let his guard down and walk around. This is when he is most vulnerable,
besides when he is stuck in a wall. Repeat this as many times as needed to kill him. When
you put Ashley atop the steps, she is out of harm's way. Additionally, make sure that he
is closer to the bell than he is to you. Shoot it with your handgun. If he is closer to
you, he hears the gunshot. Then, switch to the rifle and aim just in front of the bell. If
you aimed well and timed your shot correctly, you can shoot him in the back before he
destroys the bell.

If you plan to sell two or more herbs or other items that can be combined, combine them
first and do not sell them separately. This will result in a small boost in the total
selling price when compared to what it would have been if you sold them separately.

Instead of firing at Los Illuminados when there parasite is exposed, use a flash grenade
to destroy the parasite instead of using your weapon.

You do not need a special scope to kill them. Buy the Killer 7 Magnum and use it on them.
After three or four shots, they will go down. Shoot it in the sheet until there is a hole.
Then, shoot its head. After that, the body will explode then the legs will fall over and
leave 5,000 gold. Additionally, another way to kill the Regenerator creatures is to shoot
their head or chest with the shotgun. Then, blast a leg away; it will fall on the ground.
Then, take out an incinerator grenade (the red ones) and throw it at them. If done
correctly, he will burn on the ground and die.

When you are in the area where you are just about see the intermission sequence with Luis
dying, there will be a door that lets you know that you will need another person for it.
After you get Ashley back, return to this door. Give Ashley a piggyback and she will open
the door. Inside will be a lot of treasure, and the powerful Broken Butterfly. You do not
have to buy it from the merchant or sell it for money. Additionally, the strongest Magnum
is not the Killer 7. When you tune up and buy the exclusive option of the Broken Butterfly
its power will increase to 50.0, far stronger than the Killer 7's 35.0. You can kill a
Boss in four shots.

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

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

Close to the start of the game there is a pendant with a value that will decrease by 9,000
Pesetas, if dropped in water. To keep it as the Pearl Pendant instead of the Brass
Pocketwatch, shoot the block that is holding the well open, then shoot the pendant down to
pick it up off the top of the well cover. It will sell for 10,000 Pesetas.

Go to the top of the barn (located next to the house where you found the shotgun in the
main game). There is also a timer under the ladder, and a chest above, and up the ladder.
Go up there and wait for the Los Illuminados to come to you. When they are mostly packed
in, shoot the barrel inside and jump down quickly. Get what they dropped. Get back up the
ladder and repeat. Note: Do not throw a grenade while there is a flame barrel down
there; it will not do twice the damage. Also, be careful of the Chainsaw Hags that appear.
They will cut off your head if you get too close. It is best if you are Hunk or Krauser to
use the neck break; and the transformation of Krauser's arm, which kills them in one hit.
With Ada or Wesker, use their sniper rifles until they are both gone, then jump down, With
Leon try grenades, but it is very difficult.

If you are low on ammunition, try to avoid these enemies. The zombies have orange eyes.
When killed, the parasite in them will come out of their heads. Stay away from it and
shoot it from a distance. If you are too close, the parasite will cut your head off.

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