Chapter 1-2: Urban Warfare
==========================
Item Management
---------------
Between chapters is your chance to buy and sell and upgrade. The gun in your
"inventory" is meant for those that somehow didn't get it at the start, so all
that gun is worth is selling. Distribute ammo somewhat evenly, always giving
Sheva the little bit more. Make sure to give her more health items as well.
For upgrades (which have one button to access) I would say you must get the
capacity upgrades for both characters' guns, or just yours if not enough
money.
You'll have a treasure to sell if you killed and picked it up from the
Executioner, and that's the Gold Ring. So press the button to scroll over your
inventory and sell it. This will fund the firepower upgrades for both handguns.
Also, if you can, may as well get a capacity for the machine gun.
Shouldn't need to buy anything, but it's possible to buy a machine gun for her,
but I wouldn't since she prefers her pistol.
*NOTE: One thing to keep in mind is that sometimes Sheva will claim items
herself or get items you may have missed. She's like a nice little gopher for
things you may not realize.*
*NOTE: Just use the one clip on the VZ61, because after this chapter it is
trash. Don't put bullets into it when it's empty.*
Surprise, Surprise
------------------
As I said, all I found were the two frags on top of the first building after
the fight; everything else was no longer there. Feel free to look around, maybe
you can find more. Go through the opening and there is a barrel in the shack.
Then swing around the path and hop down the hole for a quick barrel, then back
up. Open the large door.
*NOTE: You can stomp enemies when they are on the ground.*
An in the building she'll probably grab, and then some ammo. Go out and
assist jump up the broken ladder. Down the alley you will kill a woman, and
then two enemies to the right and left; the one behind the fence will climb
over to get you. Two will surprise you when you go near the fence, and there is
one more inside the building to the left, not the little shack. There are
plenty of items, some Sheva will get, and the rest are boxes for you to knife;
don't forget the fruit.
+++++
BSAA EMBLEM
#1. Ch 1-2, look south from the two-story building east balcony and shoot this
emblem which is out of bounds.
+++++
Then go out and locate the ladder by the fence where the two ambushed you.
Assist jump Sheva up and she will get the key, then look up and take out the
enemies that appear above. Through the shack there is ammo through the window,
and an enemy behind the fence. Go around and one enemy busts out from the
boxes, then another if you move up. Fruit, and then go under the stairs to
enter the building. Shells, items upstairs and on the balcony, and two
enemies when you try to unlock the upper door, so be ready. When they are
dead, go out to the balcony and pick up the clock from the trunk. Hop down,
get a barrel to the left, and then open the door to the right.
*NOTE: You can hold down the run button as you move, and all you have to do to
turn is stop and turn. It's actually EASIER to hold run and turn than move
both analog sticks.*
To the left you can use your key on the door to get the Ithaca, a shotgun.
On the roof is an egg, and then one item under the stairs to the building.
Before you go up the stairs, equip your VZ61. DON'T shoot her just yet, run
back out and onto the ground level and then pop her head to reveal her plagas.
Use up the VZ61 on it (don't reload), then pop it from a distance, and if it
gets close just run. After that, take care of the Majini and then go back into
the room for items at the back.
*NOTE: You can use the shotgun here, and if you don't reload we get free
shells with the capacity upgrade later. And you won't need to reload it
anyway.*
Go out the door, kill a group, then get two crates before going through the
exit door.
*NOTE: It's nice to bring up the equip menu and see if anyone needs something
the other character has between fights, or just from time to time so you know
who needs to pick up what.*
Following Shadows
-----------------
*NOTE: You only need like 4 bullets from here to the end of the chapter, so
feel free not to reload your gun.*
One box in this room, then out the door. Four enemies will appear down the
steps, then go around and knife two barrels before going through the door to
the checkpoint. Proceed down the path and investigate the body that you see,
then pick up the two items in this room. Go up the ladder for two barrels, and
before you go out the door jump to the left for a trunk full of three stacks of
gold. Then through the door.
+++++
BSAA EMBLEM
#2. Ch 1-2, when climbing the building with BSAA dead bodies, look up through
the hole in the ceiling and hit this under the water tank.
+++++
Two crates and one box of ammo. Go out and down the elevator. Slash the box and
there is something to look at in the corner of the hall. Some crates to slash
around the body, and down the hallway to the next room. Some items all over,
then pick up the furnace key by the controls. I will tell you that using the
console closes the doors and turns on the furnace, so you don't have to use
it, but if you do be sure to wait until it resets before leaving the room. Then
head back to the locked door.
BOSS: Uroboros
It's a very simple fight. Just turn around and run back into the furnace room
for a quick scene, and while waiting you should knock over either gas tank,
but the one near the door is best. When the monster is inside lead him left of
the doorway, the way with only the narrow path, not the side with the console.
If you tipped over a tank he will pick it up, so run into the furnace and wait
for him to get inside, shoot the tank to blow him up, and then run out to use
the controls and melt him away.
I can't stress enough how you must be quick to run out and use the controls,
a moment late and he may bust out. If so feel free to use the restart option
in the pause menu.
Yes, you must use the other tank and do it again for higher difficulties, but
it's only another bullet you need to use.
+++++
BSAA EMBLEM
#3. Ch 1-2, after the Uroboros fight but before using the elevator, look down
the second half of the fence to hit this emblem.
+++++
Now go to the locked door and go through. Probably best to let Sheva have the
ammo in the case, then go up the elevator.
