*******************************MERCHANT(x2)************************************
*PRO TIP: This is where all your saving up on shotgun shells and hand grenades
will pay off.*
*NOTE: if you've followed the PRO TIPS, your case is full of hand grenades and
shotgun shells, then you're more than ready.*
All I advise buying is one capacity upgrade for your shotgun; not only for
free bullets, just do it anyway. And maybe a power upgrade, but that is your
choice. Now return to the farm, and then come back and cross the bridge (this
is so the game will autosave your buying in case you die and you won't have to
do it again). Maybe get the firepower of the shotgun up to 5, just in case.
*Just know that you need to kill a whole bunch of enemies (40).*
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 wildly.*
*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.*
*In both rooms, seriously, one hand grenade to the center and the whole place
will clear without either of you taking damage. Only do it when you are mobbed
by enemies.*
When Luis says, "Upstairs Leon!" go, because enemies will enter from the top
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 (kidding).*
*Avoid shooting Luis too much, as he will kill you*
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-hand path and proceed.
*Make sure your TMP is fully upgraded and you have two flash grenades*
*PRO TIP: 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.*
*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. And I know you're not
reading this and are a whimp! Shame shame.*
