__ Dark Altar Room __

Pick up the ++OUR PLAN++ file from the altar at the top of the stairs.  Open 
the next door for a cutscene.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 5000 PTAS     | Lying on the floor to the left of the stairs            |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Dark Stairwell __

One Ganado will grow restless as Leon walks down the stairs so shoot him then 
enter the boiler room to the side at the bottom of the stairs.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\

|                   | moving down the stairs                                  |
| [ ] Green Herb    | At the bottom of the stairs near the boiler room door   |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Boiler Room __

A few Ganados will attack in here.  Watch out for the ones with the crossbows. 
Open the door at the other end of the Boiler Room.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo  | Open the locker to the left in the upstairs office      |
| [ ] Flash Grendae | On a box in the storage room on the west side of the    |
|                   | Boiler Room                                             |
| [ ] 3000 PTAS     | On a container in the storage room of the Boiler Room   |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Catwalk Area __

Grab the extra pesetas on the floor then turn around and take the lift to the 
side to the floor above.  Walk out onto the open area for a big interactive 
cutscene.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 3000 PTAS     | On the floor directly across from the entrance door     |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Use the on-screen commands to dodge Krauser's attacks.  The cutscene is so long 
that there is actually a checkpoint in the middle of it.  Once Krauser tries to 
sink the knife into Leon's chest while Leon is on the ground, the cutscene will 
end shortly.

Drop off the side of the catwalk up ahead after the cutsenes then open the door 
below.

__ Laser Trap __

Walk into the corridor through the sliding doors up ahead.  This white corridor 
is filled with lasers.  To dodge the first set, move under them as they 
horizontal laser moves up and the two vertical lasers move to the sides.

Stop as another group of lasers appear.  Wait until the vertical lasers moves 
to the right for the second time then the second the two side lasers form a 
triangle, run through the triangle.  As Leon runs through them, a group of 
lasers up ahead will quickly move toward him - press the on-screen command to 
jump through them.

Run in the middle of the crackling laser pods up ahead and press the on-screen 
command as it appears to backflip away then another to jump over them.  
Approach the door at the end and one more wave of lasers will appear at the 
other end of the room then press the switch to the right to start the unlocking 
process for the doors.  Another set of lasers will appear on the other side of 
the corridor.  Run toward the lasers as they speed up then quickly press the 
on-screen command to dodge them.  It is best to run toward them since they get 
faster as they approach the other side of the room, not really giving you much 
time to input the command.  The doors will unlock afterwards.

__ Throne Room __

Collect the items around the room and sit in the throne if you feel so 
inclined. Walk through the sliding doors behind the throne and take the lift 
down.

Pick up the ++LUIS' MEMO 4++ file from on the boxes next to the merchant.  Open 
the gate at the end of the tunnel to continue.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Red Herb      | Open the door beside the typewriter to find this on the |
|                   | ground in the small room                                |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Cave __

Follow the tunnel up ahead.  The camera will eventually show several hanging 
metal containers to the side of the ledge up ahead.  Continue up the rock 
walkway to the left for a cutscene.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Yellow Herb   | Walk through the hole in the fence to the left and it   |
|                   | is lying on a crate inside                              |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Leon will be thrown off into the first crates as a creature attacks him.  He 
will start out inside the first cart.  Leon must run from container to 
container, pressing emergency buttons in order to make each cart fall in an 
attempt to stop the creature.  He will have to run by U3 the whole time while 
doing this, so be prepared to press the on-screen sequences as they appear 
while running by him.  For the most part, do not attack U3 at all inside any of 
the containers, just run!  It is possible to make him retreat by shooting him 
in the head twice.  He will remain hidden until Leon presses one of the buttons 
around the area.

__ First Container __

Turn around while U3 (It) is in front of Leon and turn to the left.  Shoot the 
green light on the right side of the wall above to open the gate ahead.  Follow 
the corridor all the way around then press the button at the end of the 
corridor.  Return back to the corridor that U3 was in and turn left then shoot 
the green light on the wall once Leon reaches the gate.  Press the second 
button to start the emergency drop sequence.  Leon has thirty seconds to get 
out of the current container so run to the entrance of next container (red 
door) on the east side and open it.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Herb    | Turn around at the beginning then this will be on the   |
|                   | right dead end up ahead                                 |
| [ ] Shotgun Ammo  | From the starting, run directly ahead then turn right   |
|                   | to see this                                             |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Second Container __

The first container will drop.  Run straight ahead and U3 will show up again.  
This is a good place to actually shoot him and make him retreat since he will 
most likely hit Leon otherwise - hit him twice in the head.  Turn around and 
shoot the green light on the wall in the background to make the gate beside 
Leon lift up.  Run down the left side and press the button.  Return the way 
that Leon came and shoot the green light on the southwest wall to make the gate 
to the left open.  Run down the corridor and press the button.  The emergency 
drop sequence will countdown.  Get to the other container by turning around 
taking the right corridor at the split.  Follow it and open the red door to 
enter the next container.

| [ ] TMP Ammo      | Turn right instead of left as the first gate opens      |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Third Container __

The first emergency button is on the right, so press it.  Pressing it will open 
the gate in the middle of the crates.  U3 will fall down and grow a set of 
claws from its back.  Run right by him and enter the corridor underneath the 
crates in the middle of the area.  U3 will leap on top of the crates overhead 
and attack through the ceiling so hurry!  Follow the corridor all the way to 
the end and turn left.  Follow the next corridor to the bars at the end.  Shoot 
the green light on the side of the wall through the bars.

Go all the way back through the crate and turn right upon exiting.  Run to the 
end of that corridor and press the emergency button.  The emergency sequence 
will start again, so get back to the gate on the east side (through the middle 
corridor) and open it.  Jump (A) toward the hook outside.  Wiggle the remote to 
help Leon climb up.

Pick up all the items after the cutscene.  Another cutscene will play while 
moving ahead.

__ Deeper in the Cave __

Boss Battle - U3 (It)

1st stage Life: 250+

USE THE SURROUNDINGS: There are two red explosive barrels around this area - 
one to the left of the middle rock and one inside the tunnel to the left.  
Speaking of the tunnel, use the levers on the sides of the gates to open the 
gates.

SHOOT U3 IN THE HEAD: For the first part of the this battle, U3 moves fairly 
slow, so Leon can literally stand away from him and shoot him in the head from 
the distance.  Always aim for his head and hit it with a magnum round.  
Shoot an explosive barrel when he moves by one of them to damage him greatly.  
He will chase after Leon and try to grab him with the arms - shake the Wii-mote 
to break free of his clutches if he grabs Leon.

TRAPPING U3: To make this battle easy, open both gates of the tunnel on the 
northwest side and have U3 follow Leon into the tunnel.  Exit the other end of 
the tunnel and close the gate on that end.  When U3 comes around the corner, 
shoot him in the head through the bars of the gate.  Don't let him get close to 
the get or he will eventually break it.  Each shot will knock him back so just 
keep up the momentum of shooting and reload when needed while he staggers.

Once he falls, he will enter the second stage of his attacks.

2nd stage Life: 240+

IT GROWS IMPATIENT: It's much harder to trap him this time since he will start 
to burrow under the ground in an effort to slice Leon from below.  He will 
disappear then a command will appear below Leon shortly before he slices 
upwards with hit claws, so be sure to watch for it and enter the command.  The 
battle moves on just like the first as he surfaces but he is much faster and 
will run toward Leon aggressively while snapping with his pinchers on his back. 
Leon can still stand back and shoot him in the head to stagger him, but U3 will 
eventually burrow under the ground and go back to slicing from beneath the 
ground.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Red Herb      | Around the right side of the middle rock                |

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Once the battle is over, the gate that closed during the cutscene will open 
again.  Collect the pesetas from U3's body then open the door past the gate.  
Follow the tunnel and use the lift up the stairs to get one last pickup.  Climb 
the ladder to the side when finished.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Herb    | Take the lift back to the other side of the cave and    |
|                   | this will be lying on the catwalk beside the lift       |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Climb the next ladder.  Open the door and move outside.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Hand Grenade  | Open the cabinet beside the door                        |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Walk up to the side of the hill then shoot the red explosive barrels around the 
tent below to defeat many of the Ganados around the tent.  Finish off the 
stragglers then jump off the side of the ledge.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Yellow Herb   | Lying along the dead end path beside the tent           |
| [ ] 3000 PTAS     | Break the wooden box on the table inside the tent       |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Fall down into the hole inside of the tent and follow the tunnel to find a 
merchant along with a typewriter at the end.  Check the tunnel for plenty of 
valuable items.  Pick up the ++KRAUSER'S NOTE++ file from beside the 
typewriter.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Emerald       | After falling, face the tunnel, aim, and look up to see |
|                   | on the rock wall above the tunnel.  Shoot it.           |

Climb up the ladder when stocked up enough.  Leon will emerge on the opposite 
side of the fence past the gate beside the tent.  Open the gate up ahead.

__ Ruins __

Follow the path ahead then drop down below when Leon reaches the ledge at the 
end.  Walk into the ruins area for a cutscene.

Boss - Krauser

Life: about 30+ per encounter

This fight is much a cat and mouse game.  Krauser will start off by shooting 
Leon from the up above so quickly run to the walls up ahead to avoid his fire. 
If he throws a grenade, press the on-screen sequence to roll away from it.  
Watch for the laser sighting from his gun to know when he is about to shoot 
Leon.  Open the door ahead.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Herb    | On the floor right behind the first door                |
| [ ] Flash Grenade | Climb the first ladder and it is on the roof            |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Ruins (Southwest) __

The door to the right side is locked for the moment but Leon needs to check it 
to start the unlocking sequence (it doesn't really matter though).  Krauser 
will appear eventually in the room or if you climb the ladder he may meet Leon 
on the roof.  Hit him with knife slashes whenever he comes in close to really 
put some hurt on him very quickly.  Hit him while he is stunned and run after 
him while he somersaults away.  Don't waste ammo on him since the knife takes 
off more!

The most important thing to remember while fighting him when he shows up is 
that he will always jump to the side or retreat after a hit, so don't 
continuously slash the knife at him.  Instead, slash him, follow him as he 
moves to the side, then slash him again.  Slashing continuously will cause him 
to hit Leon.

Sometimes several sequences will pop up to give you an opportunity to dodge his 
attacks so be ready for them - sometimes these appear four times in a row in 
slow motion.  He will throw a flash grenade once he takes enough damage and 
will disappear.  This is always the way he will leave the battle for the 
moment.

The door will unlock after the battle so open it.  Krauser may meet Leon right 
outside the door so be ready.  Run down the stairs then head to the right (the 
left leads to the exit, but Leon doesn't have the key yet).
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Shotgun Ammo  | By some wall debris to the left                         |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo  | Turn left after moving down the firs set of stairs and  |
|                   | will be on the middle hole in the left wall             |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Ruins (Middle) __

Krauser may be up on top of the building in the background as Leon rushes 
toward it.  Fight him off and enter the building for some supplies.  Some 
flying sentries will attack through the windows.  Shoot them with the handgun 
to destroy them.  Krauser may attack once again!

| [ ] First Aid     | Break the right barrel in the building                  |

| [ ] Hand Grenade  | On top of the building (climb the ladder, it's on the   |
|                   | railing)                                                |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

There are bars that cover the lever that will the gate outside the building so 
exit the building and move to the east.  Run down the stairs then turn left and 
go up the left spiral staircase.  Go through the doorway at the top to trigger 
a cutscene.

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Life: 100

Leon will gain the --PIECE OF THE HOLY BEAST, PANTHER-- after the cutscene.  
Krauser will leap up to the top of the high platform above.  He will throw 
grenades so press the on-screen sequences to dodge them or get under the 
platform.  Hit him with the knife when he jumps down to attack.  He will always 
eventually jump down if Leon moves under the platform that he is on.  There 
will be a sequence where Leon will be given the option to respond to Krauser - 
this does not change anything except for some extra dialogue right here if Leon 
responds.

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Once he leaves, push the statue onto the pressure plate around the other side 
of the walls to remove the bars in front of the lever back to the west and the 
one to the east - push the statue to the east then get on the south side and 
line them up with the pressure plates.  Run to the east and pull the lever to 
open the gate to the left.

Move back down the stairs past the gate and pull the lever on the west wall to 
the open the gate beside.  Krauser may be waiting for Leon by the lever so 
knife slash him if he is.  Drop down to the area below.

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Ruins (Northwest) __

Move to the side and blast the sentries along the way.  Watch out for their 
explosions as they are destroyed!  Krauser will be waiting further around the 
corner.  Just respond or not.  Climb the spiral staircase behind the doorway to 
the left then climb the ladder above.  Don't go around the right corner and 
claim the last piece of the gate puzzle until you grab the items to the left.  
Grab the --PIECE OF THE HOLY BEAST, EAGLE-- from the right side to trigger a 
cutscene.

Boss Battle - Krauser

Life: 200+

PRESSURED FOR TIME: This is the true boss battle against Krauser.  Leon has a 
total of 3 minutes before the C4 installed in this area blow up.  That means 
this battle must be finished within that time limit.  Wasting that much time 
here is very hard to do though since Krauser is so quick and damaging.

DODGING HIS BIG "THING": His attacks for this round are very brutal and should 
always be dodged or interrupted with an attack.  It is best to avoid his 
lunging arm attack and overhead arm attack by pressing the on-screen sequences. 
He will try to trip Leon from up close then hit him with an overhead arm 
attack.  Quickly press the on-screen command to dodge the arm portion of the 
trip attack combo while on the ground and Leon will roll out of the way.  He 
also has a slice attack and double roundhouse from close range.

OH, HOW THE MIGHTY WILL FALL: The battle really isn't all that different from 
the previous battle except for his new hand attacks.  He is still incredibly 
weak to the knife and that is how Leon should damage him.  Hit him with knife 
slashes when he jumps in for an attack - aim the knife downward then slash.  
Run after him when he backflips away (try to catch him as he flips into a wall) 
then slash him.  Each slash will stun him out of whatever he is doing, so 
quickly slash him some more.  The magnum works good for interrupting his 
attacks if it hits (hit him in the head while his is stunned), but the knife 
works the best for everything in this battle - stunning and hitting - mainly 
because it covers a much greater area and it's hard to miss with it.  Hand 
grenades work good for this battle as well - as he backflips throw a hand 
grenade to instantly stun him.

Once the battle is over, pick up the --PIECE OF THE HOLY BEAST, SERPENT-- from 
Krauser's body.  Jump back down where the ladder is and run across the wooden 
walkway to the west.  Drop down to the ground below and place the piece of the 
beast on the wall to the right to make the wall slide back.  Exit the area by 
opening the door behind the wall.  This will end the chapter.
