Broken Butterfly In Castle
When you are in the area where you are just about to see the intermission sequence with Luis dying, there will be a door that lets you know that you will need another person for it. After you get Ashley back, return to this door. Give Ashley a piggyback and she will open the door. Inside will be a lot of treasure, and the powerful Broken Butterfly. You do not have to buy it from the merchant or sell it for money.

The Punisher!
After you get to the village and all the zombies go away to pray, your next stop is a farm, there are some blue medallions hanging, get ten or more of those medallions and the merchant will give you the Punisher. This is a fully automatic weapon that is more powerfull than the handgun. Note: The medallions are not only on the farm there are more on the cementary. There are only seven on the farm.

Ashley
When you rescue Ashley she will be besides you all the time, she is on the risk of being taken away and if that happends you loose the game. Tere are some parts that have big trash cans, get near one and press L2 to make Ahlsey hide in it, that way you can clear the area without having too much trouble. Remember don't let the zombies take Ashley away.

Evil Game Trick (The Game Will Cheat You)
When you reach the town where Leon gets a call and you are allowed at the begging of the level to use the binoculars, don't start wasting bullets. Use the map to find the destination marker.Get your gum ready and unload bullets at the chainsaw enemy and the one next to him till they die. Now run around and try not to get killed for a while. Go behind by where the cows are and you should trigger a cutscene where the bell chimes and the enemies go away. If it doesnt work try killing some enemies (make sure you save a good amount of ammo) or first try to run around for a few minutes.

Sell That Gun For A Little More
Has there ever been a time when you want to go to the merchant and sell one gun for another but you don't have enough? Well worries are over all you have to do is just reload, and it will be worth a little more.

Shootig Game
On the castle after Ashley helps you with the two planks, to elevate some blocks from the water and make some sort of a bridge, you reach a save place, there you can find a blue door at the left of the room behind the stairs. When you enter you can see the merchant behind a desk, the game can only be played with the guns that he have. After you've reached an amount of points you win bottle caps like one with Ada Wong, they also have sounds. The prizes can be seen on the treasure/key menu.

Ashley In Armor
When you beat the game for the second time and you play it a third you come to the screen where you can choose your special costume choose special costume two. When you rescue Ashley she is in a suit of armor it looks quite funny but it is actually quite useful Ashley can not get hurt at all even rocket launchers don't affect her. plus when the bad guys try to carry her away she is to heavy for them to carry her away this great because you don;t have to worry about her health and save it all for yourself. this make the game much easier for you to beat because you wont die for not healing her or protecting her from bad guys.

El Gigantie (Second Time)
After the farm house with Luis go to the right path to th monster it's easier. If you save your money buy a rocket launcher to kill him him in one shot or shoot the boulder and kick the chained door. after the shacks run to the right while running to the other door. Kick the door until it breaks. It should be right behind you so run. Run back to the shacks. If you ran to the right earlier the shacks should be destroud. Pick up all the iteams and you'll get a key. The key unlocks a door to get away from the monster.

Get The Handcannon
In order to get the Handcannon you must beat all stages with all characters in a 5 stars ranking for the Mercenaries. The best thing about it is that you get it for free and if you fully customized it'll have a firepower of 99.9 and unlimited ammo.

Get Infrared Vision
Are you tired of wasting your ammo trying to kill the "Regenerators"? If you are, after your first encounter with one them go inside the freezer room turn right on the first room to unfreeze the room and then go to the second, open the case and you'll find the infrared scope. Now you can find their weak spots.

Beat Saddler Easier
If you want to beat Saddler easier just use the Mine Thrower, as long as the mine sticks to his body he'll get stunned by the explosion and if you have enough ammo you won't even have to operate the machines or blow his eyes out to stun him.

Fighting The Huge Roach Guy That Is Super Fast
When you are waiting for the elevator to open you will have to fight him. Go near one of those tanks and when he is near you click the action button(x) and it will freeze him. Then continue to fire rounds at him. (I prefered the one shot kill of the bazooka).

Saving Ammo
If you are being chased by zombies, climb up a ladder. Then, wait for them to start climbing. Cut them with your knife. They will fall off the ladder, [repeat]. This saves ammo.

Fire Dragon Room
When you enter the "Fire Dragon room" instead of using the rocket laucher to take down the metal dragons, simply shoot at the chains that there hanging from with your rifle! This way you not only saves you a launch, but also the frustration if you happen to miss the shot!

Crane
When you get to the garbage room towards the middle/end of game, the you first room you come into has a lever. Go up next to it and press x. Then you should be able to use the crane to kill three people. Four if your careful.

How To Annoy Ashley
If you tilt the camera to look up Ashley's dress, and she will tell you so. It's not useful at all, but is is very useful if you like annoying people

Defeating Krauser
Lots of people say you can't kill Krauser with a rocket launcher but you can. Aim your rocket launcher at Krauser's knees he should die if you don't have a rocket launcher. Slice and dice him with your knife when he gets close to you. Note: don't forget to dodge.

First Level
On the first level, when your in the house and the undead are trying to get in, people normally think they have to use the door. You don't, use the window to the right of the door.

Easy Kill The First El Gigante
To kill the first el gigante really easy, buy a rocket launcher from the merchant and equip it at the beginning of the battle. Now aim it at the giants chest and fire away. This will be a one hit kill.

Easy Kills
For some reason, when you are at the chapter where you get special help from Mike (the guy in the helicopter) you can kill the guys with only 5 handgun bullets if you shoot them in the legs. I killed them with the regular handgun that was upgraded to 2.0, this is a really useful tip if your trying to save ammo or trying to beat the game at a certain time limit.

Almost Unstoppable
After you beat the game with Leon and Ada you get 2 costumes and infinite weapons. Select costume 2, buy a vest, the Chicago typewriter, and later the infinite launcher and you wont have to worry about ammo, Ashley's health, or losing lots of health.

Killing The Monk
To kill the monk without letting him get to the gattling gun you must first chase him he runs into the room with the monk with a shield. Turn around head for the door that is locked but before you get there there is a spot where you can jump down to the ground floor. Run into the door where the monk is in then hurry up and shoot him. Note: try killing him with a tmp this way you don't have the guns recoil.

Most Valuble Treasure
To get a treasure that is worth 48,000 pesetas, you will need to pick up the crown on the dead monks hand at the sewer part of that spike trapthat salazar traps you with. Then when you fight the roach-guy, try to kill him and you will get a green and gold jewel. To get the last part of the crown, you must get past the huge hammer trap to get to a stone elevator. There is an insignia on it. Combine all the jewels to get the salazar family crown and it is worth 48,000 pesetas!

Fight With Salazar
2 easy hits: one mine thrower shot to eyed tentacle, one rocket to Salazar when he emerges. Pretty much everything in the game is killed with one rocket. Everything but saddler himself and IT.

Raising Hit Ratio
To raise your hit ratio you need to do a few things. 1. Beat the story mode once 2. Beat ada's story (seperate ways) (this unlocks the two things you need) 3. Gain 1, 000, 000 ptas and buy the Chicago typewriter 4. Start a new game on old game and choose secret costume 2. Once you do all this once you get Ashley, she will be in her knight armor and can't be killed so just shoot her as long as you want and it will count as a hit but she will not die.

Ashley As A Distraction
When you beat the game twice and get the special costume 2 use the costume throughout the game to use Ashley as a distraction because she has armor and cannot be killed no matter what. Tell Ashley to wait and let the zombies try to get her when they drop her and fall to the ground cut them with your knife to save ammo and kill them.

Killing Krauzer The Easy Way
You could use this hint on normal or professional. The easiest way to kill Krauzer is to slice him with you knife and dodge his insane attacks then when he is about to kick you take out your knife and slice him (as this does magnum damage) when he falls to the ground on his knees slice him in the head or face and he will go down in seconds, Try to get him close to a wall or a cliff so he doesn't have enough room to do his insane attacks. Using your guns will just waste your ammo on him on professional mode because it will be harder to hit him with your guns than using your knife. (Normal Mode you will not use alot of ammo but its still better to use your knife).

3 Great Ways To Save Ammo!!!
These are incredibly useful in professional mode, #1: If you select costume 2 at the beginning of the game ashley will be wearing armor. The ganodos can't hurt her or pick her up. So take her out in the open areas were the ganado will try to grab her. They'll fall down and you can knife them till they die. #2: Climb up a ladder and knife the ganado as they climb up. #3: Shoot a ganado a few times in the arms or legs then suplex them. (this also stops the parasites from coming out of their heads. ).

The Flash Is Mightier Than The Bang!
Many time is Re4, a flash grenade is a powerful weapon. Example: A flash grenade will knock one of those guys who look like wolverine down so his Los Plagos host is showing, I have heard it does the same to El Giganto.
