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.

Kill Salazar's "right hand" that you need to use the liquid nitrogen tanks on to receive
the "Crown Jewels". which fit into the "Crown" treasure item. This is difficult; try
using the Chicago Typewriter.

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.

You can kill the fish and use them as recovery items in the sewer area shortly after the
beginning of Chapter 1-2. It is a little after the place where you face the two enemies
who throw dynamite at you.

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

Use the D-pad and Analog-stick together to aim faster than normal.

Either weapon works; feel free to experiment. When the battle starts, check out the
shacks and get all of the items that you can. When he gets close, run between his legs,
get behind him, then open fire. When he is approaching you, use the shotgun and keep
shooting him in the head while avoiding his attacks. When he roars and starts moving
around, something will pop out of his back. Before it kneels on the ground, get in close
until the action command that reads "Climb" appears. Use it to get on his back. The
screen will indicate which button to use to slash. Press that button as fast as possible
until you get off. Repeat the process one to three more times to defeat him.
Additionally, when facing the El Gigante, buy a rocket launcher; it will kill him in one
hit instead of wasting your other ammunition.

You will have to fight four El Gigantes (the big monster that breaks through the door
and picks up and crushes Leon). You will fight one by yourself, one with the girl, and
two at the same time by yourself. The quickest way to kill them is to buy a rocket
launcher immediately before the fight so that you do not take waste space in you
inventory. Throw a flash grenade to stun him, then run around behind and shoot him in the
back. You will kill him in one hit. The same can also be done on most of the Bosses. If
this does not kill them, it will do a lot of damage.

To win easily against the two El Gigantes in Chapter 4-2, go up the ladder and go down
the rope on the other side of the room to activate the mechanism. It will open the circle
in the middle of the room and take an El Gigante into the lava. Do not try it a second
time; the mechanism will not work again. Just use the rocket launcher to finish the
remaining El Gigante.

Soon after the farmhouse, look around to collect some ammunition and buy more items. After
that, go to an opening where you see a lever. Go up to it and switch it to the right to
fight El Gigante (recommended) or switch it to the left to face more chainsaw wielding
villagers (extremely difficult). If you select to fight El Gigante, aim at the rock at
the top ledge until he is underneath it and fire. Use the same tactic on the one you
dealt with earlier.

Destroy at least ten of the fifteen blue medallions (there are seven in the farm and eight
in the cemetery) to get a free Punisher from the Merchant two guns before you can buy it.
This pistol hits two targets when you get it and five when you get exclusive.

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.

In the area where Ashley is carried away by the flying insects, you can destroy the nest
that is hanging from the ceiling. After it is destroyed, you will find a lot of green and
red eyes, and if you are lucky, even a blue one. This is a good way to get the Butterfly
Lamp filled with all three jewels early so that you can get some extra money for
upgrades.

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.

When you start, Del Lago is towing you and heading toward the pieces of land in the
middle. Steer to avoid them and harpoon him as soon as you can afterwards (before it lets
go). Next, aim a harpoon and throw it at any sign of movement so that you will not be
knocked off the boat. After awhile it will go away, then charge at the boat. Throw as
many harpoons at it as possible before it reaches the boat. If you get knocked out, press
X until you get back in. Repeat this process until the intermission sequence starts and
Del Lago retreats.

When you are in the castle and you fire at the Gothic Illuminados, it is best to fire at
their knees. They will fall on them and allow you to use a suplex move instead of a kick.
You will then throw them over your head and smash their head in the ground. Note:
In mercenary mode, the same goes for the rest of the mercenaries.

You can kill the merchant at any time in the game. On the normal difficulty setting, he
just dies then comes back at the next place, or sometimes when you leave the room and
come back in. However, on the professional difficulty setting, once he dies, he remains
dead.

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.

In the Mercenaries mini-game, play as John Krauser or Hunk. Notice that both of the
character's theme songs are from P.N. 03 levels.

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

The most effective way to win this battle is to have the Mine Thrower and some
grenades. Start the battle by running past Saddler to the end platform and climb up the
ladder. Wait for Saddler to get close to where you are and throw the switch. This will
trigger steel beams to crash into him. Saddler will flop down on the ground. Quickly jump
off the platform and go near him. Press X to trigger Leon to "climb up". Leon will stab
his eye. You must stab Saddler around six times to defeat him. Quickly run across the
bridge and get ready to do an action command to jump when the bridge falls. As Leon grabs
on, repeatedly tap X to climb up. Be aware if Saddler has not jumped over to where you
are, he will throw steel beams and you will have to do action commands to dodge them. Run
to the end, and once again climb up the ladder. Get ready to throw the switch and cause
Saddler to fall and stab him. There are now multiple ways to get him to flop down. A
single grenade is enough, as well as a Dart Mine. You can use these to get him to fall.
You get also take out the thermal scope for your sniper and target one of the four eyes
on his legs. Those are all good ways to get Leon to stab his eye. Note: Stabbing
Saddler's eye is the only way to damage him. Finally, when you haved stab him enough an
intermission sequence will appear, and Ada will throw a Rocket Launcher (Special) to you
to finish the job. Grab it across the bridge and make room for it in your case. Point and
shoot at Saddler, and the final battle intermission sequence will begin.
