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

Yea, I dont remember it being THAT bad either...I mean yea I think it took me several tries, but I dont remember getting frustratued...

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.

aw.

well, I just got off of the Gondola, and I went into this house and theres that huge dude and he changes into a creature.

any easy ways on beating him?

Canyarion · 02-04-2006, 11:52 AM

I can't believe you ask other people for this... it's part of the fun to figure things out yourself....

Krypton · 02-04-2006, 12:39 PM

well, I have trouble with it.

is there a law where you cant ask for help?

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

And Krypton...yes

Krypton · 02-04-2006, 01:48 PM

there can't be... =/

There isn't a really easy way to beat Bitores Mendez. All I can give you is a few tips:

1. There's an explosive barrel. Use it.

2. If you have grenades, use them all up now (except for flash grenades). You'll get plenty later on since this is still fairly early in the game. And Bitores Mendez is really the last boss where grenades will be useful.

3. Use the shotgun. If you don't have many shells, then blast him in his walking form with the handgun and then after he transforms, use the shotgun so you don't have to aim with pinpoint accuracy when he's jumping around.

4. Stay about two steps away from a ladder. When Mendez gets too close, climb up and run around to the other side of the room and then jump back down. It's very important that you get back down as soon as possible because otherwise he'll rear up and knock you down which hurts. But if you're fast, you can keep shooting him, run up and around to the other side when he gets too close and then blast him again until he gets too close at which point you can climb up and run again etc.

5. Try not to imagine that there are even harder bosses on the way. Or that this games has a "Professional" mode in which Mendez will kill you in three hits.

thanks, this should help a ton, i'll go try this method in a bit and report back whether i kill or not.

but what i heard was if you shoot him enough, blow up the barrel, he'll break in half? true or false?
