Unlockable: Thompson (Chicago Typewriter)

Beat Operation Ada, and the "Chicago Typewriter", a Thompson with 10.0 firepower, infinite ammo, no reload, and the fire rate of a maxed out TMP, becomes available at the merchant.

Beating Operation Ada will only unlock the Chicago Typewriter for Ada in her Separate Ways mission and not any other mode.

To unlock the Thompson for Leon's mission you need to beat the Ada's Separate Ways mission.

Unlockable PRL412

The P.R.L 412 Weapon is a laser gun with unlimited ammo (it is shown briefly in the attract mode if you leave your game running on the start menu). The weapon is used by charging up and then releasing bolts of energy into one or many enemies or objects (boxes and barrels can destroyed). Just ready your weapon (hold B) then hold down the A button until the weapon charges to your desired level. Note that the PRL412 only destroys the not-zombies with parasites in them and does not affect enemies without parasites.

Unlockable Special Costume 2

Clear the game a second time (you must load the once-cleared game file) on Normal or Professional difficulty (the costumes are stored separately with each difficulty) for special costume set 2.

Leon can do some hat tricks with this costume set. I haven’t had the chance to test out how to perform all the moves, but I believe you have to have the Chicago Typewriter weapon equipped to perform these somewhat comical actions (see list below):

Hat Adjust: Hold the ready weapon button (B) and perform the reload weapon gesture with the Wii Remote. Since this weapon has unlimited ammo Leon will just adjust his hat.

Hat Toss: Hold the ready weapon button (B) and perform a quick DOWN then UP motion with the Wii Remote. This is the more comical of the two gestures, but doesn’t always work; you may perform the Hat Adjust move more often.

Ashley will unlock a metal suit of armor that protects her from any damage and prevents enemies from carrying her away. Now you can leave Ashley were ever you desire in the current area without worrying about her being child-napped.

(Editors' note: There is one part when Leon must snipe drivers on a tunnel digging machine that threatens to crush Ashley; you can let the machine clip though Ashley, the zombies die, and the gate unlocks for armored Ashley to escape.)

Hint: Maximize Leons Lifebar

This process incurs several continues, which have no bearing on the game's ending. At the first El Gigante fight, there is a Yellow Herb in the boss arena. Take this item and combine it with any of the Green Herbs in the same room and use it. This increases Leon's lifebar slightly. Now let the boss kill Leon. Since the boss' room is at a map transition (the green OPEN command is a dead giveaway), this lets you continue right at the boss fight but with Leon's life increase from your previous attempt. Repeating this process will increase Leon's lifebar to maximum prematurely. Extra Yellow Herbs found later can be given to Ashley, or sold to the merchant for money.

Hint: Snake in the Box

Sometimes when you destroy the wooden crates a snake will jump out and bite you. If you keep slashing with your knife when the box breaks you can kill the snake and receive a healing egg.

Hint: More Money for Beerstein and Elegant Mask

When you find these items do not sell them right away. You can increase the value of the items with gems.

Hint: Reload Your Upgraded Gun

Whenever you upgrade your gun's capacity it fills the weapon with ammo. So don't reload before you buy the upgrade. This works great with weapons that have very little ammo (such as the magnum revolver 'Broken Butterfly'); after you use up the gun's magazine, simply look for the merchant and upgrade the ammo capacity.

Hint: Quick Aiming

There is a quick way to center your gun when aiming up or down. Simply tap the L1 button (takes out your knife) and you will quickly aim straight ahead.

Hint: Double Broken Butterfly Ammo

If you buy the broken butterfly before you find it, you can hold twice the ammo. The shopkeeper will not sell you this gun if you already have it.

Hint: Clean Treasures

Before shooting a treasure into the dirty well, blast the piece of wood propping up the cover to keep the item clean. This is the only way that Ada will pick up those treasures and it will also ensure a higher value when selling to the merchant.

(Editors' note: you can accidentally raise the lid once more if you close it by pressing Action; you cannot clost the well once you do so).

Hint: Harvest Eggs

If you’d like to earn money to tune up or purchase additional weapons before you continue on with the game this is a good way to do it as long as you have time to kill.

Where ever you see chickens running around hang around for a while and they’ll lay an egg. Once you collect a couple eggs leave the area and come back. The chickens will lay more eggs each time you leave and return to the area.

One of the best locations to do this is the area where you first see the Blue Medallions and receive the memo from the merchant. That area has three cows are in the pen and two in the barn. There are about six chickens running around in both pens. This one can definitely take some time, but the chickens have all day and seem to lay an endless number of eggs.

White Egg = 300 peseta
Brown Egg = 600 peseta
Golden Egg = 3000 peseta
