I remember I had heard things about the knife fight with Krauser and the difficulty of it. I only died once on it though. The first time you have to press buttons I noticed too soon

Second time it was a cinch

with the two routes, I ended up going the right route instead of the left because those 2 chainsaw ladies were beginning to piss me off.

and i bought that gun called the Punisher, was that a good or crappy buy?

You bought the Punisher? That's a gun you get for free if you shoot 10 blue medallions. Or was that little mini-quest only in the GameCube version?

Anyway, the Punisher is not a terrible gun compared to the original handgun, but it's also not much better at all. The only real advantage it has is the ability to shoot two people who are lined up, but in practice that's not worth much at all because enemies very rarely line up like that (and when they do, there's usually five of them in which case you should be using something other than a handgun anyway). Besides that, by this point your original handgun is probably upgraded enough to be quite deadly on its own.

By the way, did you notice those boulders hanging pointlessly up on the edge of the canyon in the second El Gigante fight?

Nah, that sidequest is in the PS2 version.

And I noticed the boulders...I couldn't get enough time to shoot them down on him though

Wrong, it's in the Gamecube version, and it's 15 if I remember correctly.

I also noticed the boulder but when I used it, it didn't instant-kill him. Wasn't good enough for me. I wanted more ammo so I went left.

It's 10 to get the Punisher. If you shoot 15, you get the Punisher upgraded to level 2.

And there are two boulders on the right path. You drop one on him, jump up and swing your knife like mad, then run to the door and break it down and get to the next boulder where you repeat the process. Hopefully, you've been pressing the button fast enough to kill him at this point.

What I did: went on the left path, killed the villagers and the chainsaw maniacs, went all the way through, got to the merchant and upgraded my weapons and then went back and flipped the switch so I could go through the right path.

Sorry if what I was getting at wasn't clear, I meant that it is ALSO in the PS2 version.

And Krypton...yes
