"Caves": Defeating the Boss
When you face the flying bat/insect-like creature for the second time in Chapter 4-1, there is an easy way to defeat him which will allow you to still get the Soul Gem. In the southwest corner of the bottom floor, there is a small pillar of stone in the middle, with what looks to be a log with spikes coming out of it as well as a rib cage hanging from it. When Sheva tells you that it is too hard to fight and you should go upstairs, if done correctly you can just walk backwards without having to dodge around the pillar as the Boss tries to attack you. The "Dodge" button will appear, but it is not necessary. Just continue to walk backwards around the pillar and attack with whatever you have when it is vulnerable, shooting the soft portion on the back of its tail. When it dies you can collect the Soul Gem which is worth 10,000 gold when sold.
"Caves": Easy money
The easiest and quickest way to make money is on Chapter 4-1. Play the level under the Amateur difficulty setting and look for all the treasures. Collecting all the treasures will result in about 40,000 gold. There are seven treasures in part one of the level, ten in part two, and another ten including the Soul Gem worth 10,000 gold in part 3.
"Civilian Checkpoint": Hidden dialogue
Remain idle at the start of Chapter 1-1 before reaching any checkpoints to see a conversation with Chris talking to Sheva about the American dream.
"Experimental Facility": Easy gold
Select the Amateur difficulty for easier kills if desired. Play up until you get to the part where you are in the hallway with all of the Lickers on patrol. Go through it and kill all of them, picking up their Lion Hearts as you go. This is easier when you use a fully upgraded Magnum or rifle because it usually results in one to two shots to kill. When you get to the other end of the corridor, do not open the door. Instead just pause the game and go to quit, saving and overwriting when prompted. When you reach the main menu, go to "Item Management" and sell the Lion Hearts. This usually results in about 12,500 gold each run. Go to "Continue" and restart at the beginning.
"Experimental Facility": Rotten Egg

"Marshlands": Easy gold and RPG
- You can get free treasures worth 11,000 gold and a RPG at the beginning of Chapter 3-1, "Marshlands". There is no need for any use of ammunition or trouble killing zombies. Go to the "Chapter Select" menu. Start Chapter 3-1 "Marshlands". Skip the cinematic if you do not want to waste time. Straight at the first dock, go to the vases. There should be a Ruby (Pear) on the mask (1,000 gold). Go straight to the center of the lake. There should be a Silver Chalice/Idol in the box of the hut (2,000 gold). Go northwest. There should be a half-sunken boat on your way there, with a RPG in the silver box on the deck. Go to the platform at the northwest. Along your way in, there should be a Beetle (Brown) on the fishing fence. At the platform, there should be a Silver Chalice/Idol in the box of the hut. Jump down into the pool. There should be another Beetle (Brown) at left ladder up. (all totaling 4,000 gold). Go up north of map. Go to the end of the village. Help your partner up the left tower to collect the Silver Chalice/Idol in the box (2,000 gold). Note: Do not take the key piece in the box on the left tower, it will trigger enemies to appear. finally, go the southwest village with a long stream leading in. At the village, go straight to the center platform to open the box. You should get another Silver Chalice/Idol (2,000 gold). Note: Do not head elsewhere. Go directly to the box at the center platform. If you go towards to the other huts, it will trigger the zombies to appear. Save and quit the game. Sell the treasures worth 11,000 gold in your inventory. Sell the RPG for another 1,000 gold if you do not wish to keep it. Note: The trick is not to pick up any of the puzzle (key) pieces as this will trigger the enemies to appear. You can break as many vases and pots as desired and collect ammunition and gold bags, but do not pick up the key items. Do not bother to go to the east village to get the other Ruby (Pear), as you might be killed by the Crocs. If everything is done correctly, you will not encounter any enemies but get 11,000 gold worth of treasures and a free RPG.
- In addition to the above mentioned information, there are more hidden treasures throughout the area. On the first area with the vases, there is a Brown Beetle on the tree to the left of the key piece. At the area in the center of the lake, there is a Brown Beetle on a post just left of the dock. Also, collect the eggs from the back right corner; they sell for 250 gold each. Also wait to see if any of the chickens lay eggs. On occasion they will lay a golden egg worth 1,000 gold. At the sunken ship to the northwest, there is also a beetle where the ship meets the water. In the area to the very north of the map, there is a ruby on a cow skull on a post near the first hut on the right. In the area following the long stream to the southwest of the map, there is ammunition skewered amongst the posts surrounding it. In addition, there is another beetle on the tree to the right on the way around to the back. If you have trouble finding the beetles, look for purple flowers growing on posts and trees. Also in the north area, there is an Emerald atop the cow skull perched above the sacrificial altar. You must shoot it down. With these additional treasures, it brings the total to between 20,000 to 23,000 gold per run and you will still not encounter any enemies as long as you follow the instructions mentioned in the previous tip.

"Public Assembly": VZ61 machine gun
After the gate has broken open, you can enter the market. Go all the way down the street until you see big red doors and gas cans next to them. Turn right just before the gas cans. There will be a brief case you can open with a VZ61 Machine gun in it. If you look closely, the gun looks similar to the "Scorpion" sub machine gun from Call Of Duty 4. This gun will make this level much easier.
"Shanty Town": Staying together
Go up to the building that has two frag grenades. You can go off of the edge and bounce them off of the sign named "KENNYS". If done correctly, this will blow off the lock, eliminating the need for Sheva and yourself to be separated.
and
"Storage Facility": Skip locked gate
You will go up a building before fighting the chainsaw enemy at the end of Chapter 2-1. At the top you usually have to split up and have Sheva go to the other side of the locked door down below. Use the following trick to skip this requirement. Get the grenade from the first balcony up the stairs in the building with the locked door. Go to the very first balcony of the building, and move directly across from the "Animal Health" sign. Throw the grenade at the sign, aiming slightly lower than needed. You need to bounce the grenade off the sign to have it land next to the locked door which is below it. If done correctly, this will destroy the lock. You can now simply go downstairs and exit through the now open door. Note: If you have the Gatling gun, simply push it through the door and it will shoot off the lock from the other side.
"Storage Facility": Easy gold
Start Chapter 2-1 under any difficulty setting with a friend via the Internet. Note: You must have eggs to do this trick. Begin your game with your partner. Have whoever has the eggs drops out of the game, leaving all the eggs to the AI character. Have the other person then request all of the eggs from the AI character and complete the level, making sure that the game saves. Then, go back into the game with your partner at the same level, making sure that you have the eggs in every inventory slot. Then, drop out, leaving all the eggs to the AI. Have your partner request all the eggs, then complete the level. You can repeat this as many times as desired. The eggs will multiply each time you do this and you can sell them for 2,000 gold. This is a way to receive unlimited amounts of money to buy whatever you need."Ship Deck": Avoid getting trapped
Use this trick to prevent Sheva from getting stuck in the cage in Chapter 6-1. When you go up the first set of stairs on the little walkway, equip a rifle with the scope enhancement (for better zoom capabilities). Look up at the crane. You will see a Manjini getting ready to pull the lever to trap Sheva in the cage and setting off the ambush. Kill it the prevent the ambush. However, if you do this trick you will not be able to access the crane area without the keycard, and thus not able to move the cage to access a gold bar worth 3,000 gold across a few containers in a safe.
"Train Station": Hidden Majini
In the third part of the level, find the green portable toilet past the truck with a Gatling gun. Knock on it to find a hidden Majini.
"Train Station": Easy money
- In Chapter 2-2 in the mining area, after the cinematic where the masked person takes the man in the suit away, you will have a great opportunity for easy treasure. Immediately in the area that follows is a brilliant diamond worth 4,000 gold and smaller diamond worth 2,000 gold. While you are upstairs, next to the windows will be a locker that you can open. Inside is a sniper rifle in case you need it. Downstairs are two enemies that you should get rid of to make things easier. Then from upstairs, you can pick off the half-dozen or so enemies that are waiting for you outside with the sniper rifle. After you take care of all or most of them, run out. To your left behind all the equipment is a small red ladder. Climb it, and to side farthest from you will be a chest. Inside will be the big brilliant diamond. Go back and walk past the truck with the turret. Look up towards the end of the first long red ladder. You will see a shining spot. Shoot it, and the smaller diamond will drop for you to pick up. In about five minutes or less you will make an easy 6,000 gold. Quit the game and select "Yes" when prompted. This will save your equipment and treasures. Reload, continue the game, and repeat the process. You will soon accumulate enough money to upgrade your weapons. To make even more money, only equip the new sniper and keep picking it up or giving it to Sheva. Also keep selling it to get extra money.
- Fight through the first two packs of dogs, After the second pack of dogs you should see a stack of lumber. Climb up the stack all the way. On the top stack, turn right and you can collect a Jewel Beetle (worth 2,000 gold). Climb down the stack and continue forward past the train car. Turn right, keeping the train car on the right-hand side. When you are almost to the end of that wall, you can collect another Jewel Beetle on the right-hand wall. After you collect both Jewel Beetles, quit the game and save your inventory. Load the level again. Sell the Jewel Beetles for a total of 4,000 gold and play through the level again. The Beetles will respawn. The only ammo you should expend is on the two packs of dogs and two shots to destroy the explosive trip wire. Other than that you should not have to shoot anything else.
"Uroboros Research Facility": Easy ammunition
In Chapter 5-2, "Uroboros Research Facility", after the conveyor belt area and you start a new checkpoint, you reach a point where you drop down. There are a number of crates with flame rounds, rifle rounds, handgun ammo, and an incendiary grenade. Collect everything, then save the game and quit. When you start again, remove the collected items from the item management screen and collect them all again. You can get 300 handgun bullets in a matter of ten minutes.
"Uroboros Research Facility": Easy gold
At the start of level 5-3, go to the place where Excella talks to you at the end of level 5-2. Just beside the door you will see a safe containing a Treasure, worth 3,000 gold. Quit and save, then sell it during item management. Repeat this as many times as possible until you max out your weapons.
