2.Exclusive Weapon Upgrades
- Fully upgrading a weapon (all bars) unlocks its "exclusive" upgrade. For example, the exclusive upgrades for the Broken Butterfly and Killer7 give a big damage boost.
- Buying and upgrading the Punisher handgun helps against armored enemies and lets shots pierce through multiple foes.
3.Easy Money (Egg Trick)
In the village areas, collect eggs dropped by chickens. The rare Gold Egg sells to the merchant for a high price. Also combine valuable gems and treasures (e.g. setting stones into a necklace) to multiply their sale value.
4.Boss and PRL 412 Tips
- The PRL 412 laser weapon in the final area kills Saddler in one shot.
- For Del Lago (the lake creature) throw the harpoon quickly and rhythmically; dodge attacks by strafing left and right.
