[quote=Sedai]Ah, sell the starting handgun when you need cash/room, it has weak firepower and it recoils a bit. The red 9 with the stock is nice and stable. Get both available stocks asap. As for El Gigante, After the animation where he drops down into the lane, you see Ashley point up at a boulder with a brace under it. aim at it, and when you see El enter the screen on the right, shoot the brace and the rock will stun him for a few secs, unload bullets into his head until he goes down to one knee and parasite sprouts out of his back. You will need to shoot the parasite, but go to your most powerful gun to do it (Shotgun/Rifle). Something with firepower over 5. If you don;t have those, just use what you do have. He will stand back up, and you will need to repeat the process after he stands up, but with no boulder this time. During the fight, have Ashley Follow (she gets killed if you have her wait during this thing), and run past him to the other end of the lane to get distance, then go for some head shots. You may have to run back and forth a bit before he kneels again. when he does, get as much damage as you can ready for the parasite. Once when he kneeled, I ren up next to him and was able to climb up and hack the parasite with the knife, so that may help too, although I tend to just shoot the thing.[/quote]

[quote=Pyro Tramp]By revolver, i mean the starting gun, don't know what it's called- i've come across plenty of ammo though....  

Got the attache case already.

Any tips on El Gigante btw?[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]The revolver is good (I assume you mean the broken butterfly), but the ammo is SCARCE and should only be used on bosses. You will need a shotgun going for crowd contol. Also, buy the large or x-lrg case as soon as you can, as the one you start with is WAY too small... If you have upgraded the early guns, you do recoup 50% of the upgrade money, so it isn't all bad.[/quote]

[quote=Piddzilla]Ouch, Blibb! Damn the man! Someone of Satan's stooges has sunk its claws into me as well. After having owned a car for six days I received my first parking ticket. That together with lots of other unexpected expenses is making my life a bit spartan at the moment. 

I haven't read any posts by Solarius king of the sun or even seen him around here. But, banned or not banned, that is one hell of a username....[/quote]

[quote=Pyro Tramp]I got TMP and Red 9 upgraded as much as i can atm.  Done a bit of work on the revolver which sounds like a mistake.  Guess i'm buying the treasure map as well to make up the money lost on the Beerstein.  Anything else i should know?[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Ummm, You wanted to wait until you had 3 catseyes embedded in the stein, but o well, you just lose a few thousand. You should already have the headdress by now too, get that treasure map and make sure you didn't miss any stars. I put 3 catseye in the stein and 3 gems in the headdress AND I have an extra gem, so I assume there are more mountables to come. I am about 3 hours ahead of you I think. The treasure in the gigante lane is hidden well, in the same area the two treasure shacks are in. Look up![/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Also... Don;t put too much cake into upgrading any of the early guns except the TMP, wait until you open up the better stuff. I recommend the Red-9 pistol, The Riot Shotgun, and the TMP for weaps, and I like to snipe, but the ammo is scarce. I have stayed with the first level sniper rifle, and the power is fine, but it is quite slow. The handgun AND the supposedly good Punisher pistols both stink, big time. Unlock the punisher and sell it immediately, then sell your base handgun and grab the Red-9 and upgrade it as much as you can (especially capacity and firepower).[/quote]

[quote=Pyro Tramp]Yeah, i was hesitant to go back for El, but found some more ammo so going to give him a whirl.  I tried combining the Ruby with the Headdress but it won't work and i combined the catseye with the Beerstein and sold that.  How far behind you am i?  I'm not going to my lectures cuz i'm so addicted lol.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Pyro, hate to say it, but you should do both routes, to get all the treasure and cash. I did El Gigante first, went through and got all the loot and unlocked the door at the end, then ran back and did the chainsaw sister area.  Each route has a big treasure hidden in it, I think both are gems you can mont in the beerstein or the headdress...yeah...buy the treasure map from the vendor, it is a must... Also, Gigante gives you 15k, so fight and kill them whenever you can...[/quote]

[quote=Pyro Tramp]Scrub that Sed, done it[/quote]
