link directly to this cheatBeat Krauser easily

When you are fighting krauser, try not to use much ammo, until you get the second holy piece. This is because after you get the second holy piece, Krauser grows this sheild-like thing out of his arm, and he planted C4 on the building, and you only have a few minutes to beat him. After the cutscene, you should have plenty of ammo, so shoot him in the shins until he goes down, then unload on him. My suggestion is to use the mine thrower and shoot him in the face when you get him down.

Better use the knife, before getting to the second insignigia. Because knife gets Krauser throw a flashgrenade and dissappear pretty fastly. Just dont let him get a grip of your head, because if he does, and you manage not to escape the hold.. Well, you guess, right? In the third insignigia (beating Krauser. Last time for Leon, that is), it should be basic stuff. The knife is VERY useful in the encounters before getting the second insignigia.

In the boss battle with Bitores Mendez there are two levels bottom floor and top floor. Start off by going straight to the ladder. Climb it and go to the left. There are some boards that are blocking the way of the middle of the place you are fighting. Get behind these boards and look down, now while Mendez is in his first form he will just be walking looking up and walking at you but hes walking towards the wall.

Now if you would like to finish him off quickly just shoot him with the shotgun or rifle. If you want to conserve ammo just use your pistol. Now in Mendezes second form its a bit more tricky but its possible. Make sure that Mendez is on your left of the boards and your in the right corner and if positioned right he will extend his claw and try to hit you but fail and he will continue to do this like a glitch. Same as the other way if you would like to finish him off quickly then shoot shotgun shells or rifle at him. Or to conserve ammo just finish him off with your handgun. Get your reward when your done.

Go to the top of the barn (located next to the house where you found the shotgun in the main game). There is also a timer under the ladder, and a chest above, and up the ladder. Go up there and wait for the Los Illuminados to come to you. When they are mostly packed in, shoot the barrel inside and jump down quickly. Get what they dropped. Get back up the ladder and repeat. Note: Do not throw a grenade while there is a flame barrel down there; it will not do twice the damage. Also, be careful of the Chainsaw Hags that appear. They will cut off your head if you get too close. It is best if you are Hunk or Krauser to use the neck break; and the transformation of Krauser's arm, which kills them in one hit. With Ada or Wesker, use their sniper rifles until they are both gone, then jump down, With Leon try grenades, but it is very difficult.

At least half the enemies will go directly for her, giving you time to kill them and keep your distance from a crowd. This also works well on El Gigante.

link directly to this cheatKnife Combat Tactics and Tricks

The knife may seem like a useless weapon at first, when there are still too many enemies to content with and your handgun just does'nt fire fast enough! But with enough practise, it can be a deadly and useful ally.

First thing is to determine when to use the knife and when NOT to. Mostly it's common sense. Few things:

DO NOT attempt to knife a chainsaw wielding foe (Dr. Salvador, The Bella Sisters) when they are upright. They will take the strike and remove your head in a spray of blood.

DO NOT knife anyone in the gut. Go for the head and the legs. The former does most damage, while the latter drops Ganados well, sometimes faster than a salvo of precious bullets.

DO NOT attempt to knife the creatures that grow out of decapitated Ganados. The bladed type will simply slash you to hell, and the worm type with suck your head off if you get close enough to use the knife. Stick with bullets here.

As for places to use the blade, think logically. Bascially;

1) If the enemy cannot hurt you

2) If the enemy cannot move

HIT IT WITH THE KNIFE! There's no point wasting the sparse ammo you find on downed Ganados. I know it's an immediate reaction when first aproaching the game to want every Ganado dead asap, but think ammo concious.

Now, onto knife moves. There is strictly only one knife move; the horizontal slash. But it can be used very effectively. A slash to the legs, followed by another to the head can drop a Ganado surprisingly well, either leaving him/her open for a nice kick or you free to tackle his/her compadriots.

Finally, your immediate reaction when knifing an enemy is to tap the X button as fast as you can. This, in fact reduces the speed at which you slash. Instead, HOLD the X button for the fastest and most continuous slash. The rest is up to you!

As soon as you open the doors to the area, cross the bridge and run by both shacks to a shooting perch near the exit door. That's right, don't stop to shoot anyone! Dodge the two zombies at the entrance. You actually might want to shoot the bomb guy who's on top of the shack to your right. But focus your attention on the Ganados climbing up the ladder-they're defenseless! Just knife them, they'll fall a couple times and then die. Run down to get items in between waves. And take time to kill the bomb guy above your head. I suggest doing it the first chance you have. Shoot him and drop off your post.

After you unlock Leon's special costume, complete Chapter 1-3. In the intermission sequence after the game prompts you to save, Leon will have a strange dream that the egg hatched and is taking over his body. One part shows it taking over his arm, but the secondary costume prevents Leon from looking at his skin. Leon still acts as though he can see it, and the intermission sequence plays through normally after that.

The main monsters to look out for are the two chainsaw ladies on stage 1. Once you kill them, they keep coming back. On stage 2 and 3 be careful of the guys with the chain guns. On stage 4, there is a super chainsaw man. He is bigger than the normal one and has a twin bladed saw. He is almost impossible to stop. He does not climb ladders. He jumps to where he needs to be. He will run at you, swinging the saw. Do not run past him. Turn and jump down if you can, or climb something quickly. If you really want to get past him, try using Jack Krauser's transformation, and aim right at him. If you miss, you are dead. Additionally, Krauser's transformation will kill anyone in one hit as long as you are close enough. Also Flash Bang, Kick are very good for crowds with Krauser. These two things will make Krauser the easiest to get five stars with.

But when you get a good firing weapon like

it will instant kill them, takes away 70% health if they survive and will just bring out the parasite if it is on them.

Chapter 2-1 puzzle
Before the end of the chapter, there is a puzzle in the church. The puzzle is a simple mix of colors. Three different designs surround the main design. The colors are red, green, and blue. When you enter the church, turn to the left and go down the little hall. Climb the ladder. When you are up there, you will see that the way to the door is barred. You must get to the other side of the church by jumping on and off of the chandelier. On the other side, there is a set of switches. When you activate it, the puzzle starts. The goal is to turn the designs so when combined, they are the same as the middle design. Turn red twice, green three times, and blue once. When combined, it should create the design. Then, go in and grab Ashley.

Chapter 3-4 puzzle
The quickest way to complete the puzzle when playing as Ashley in Chapter 3-4 is as follows. The layout of the puzzle's squares is referred as:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Press X on the following in this order: 4, 7, 8, 9, 6, 3, 1, 7, 9.

Instead of wasting time and ammo trying to kill this maniac I advise you to get out your shotgun and nail him in the head or anywhere that would make him fall. As soon as he falls quickly go up to his body and start slashing him with your knife! He should already be dead after a couple of slashing and the knife is actually a really strong weapon as it's also the only good weapon to use against Krauser as well. It kills him pretty quickly as well.
