i managed to beat it eventually, but i agree that hint in the spoiler tags is really useful, used it a lot myself.

Cure-M works too if you're low on PE but it's a poor second choice because it only brings you back to normal movement instead of speeding you up like haste does.

finished week 3! beat the optional warehouse boss i think, it was the

giant crab boss

right?

[singlebanana]

That's the one.

[Raidou]

Holy metal rocks, Batman, that was intense!!

Have just beaten the Warehouse crab, and it cost me dearly!  All of my Medicine 3's and 2 Revives @ level 27.  

The crab is hits hard, but all of its attacks have a blind spot, so even when I expected to die (which was most of the fight) it never felt "cheap".

Back to the game, I just came in to confirm where the checkpoint is.

EDIT:

The rocket launcher is awesome.

Is it possible to get more rockets, or is 18 all you get?

Oh, and yes, Burst was veeery helpful against the crab.

[singlebanana]

Yes, Raidou. If you completed Chinatown and the Warehouse, you have reached the checkpoint. Congrats!

Remember, you can pretty much spam medicine in the weapons arsenal at the police station. The back right corner has a chest that constantly refills. You will also get a bunch in the next area, as they drop often. Due to this and PE heals, you have no need to worry going into the end.

Never used the rocket launcher during my playthrough. Glad to know that it was effective. I think that a few items are around for the purpose of using in the more intense EX game (second playthrough) and this might be one of them.

Daaaammmmnnnn. I DID NOT KNOW THAT. Luckily, as hairy as things got during and immediately after the crab, I was able to pull through, but damn I wish I had known about this.

Ammo on the counter replinishes too, but I never found a need for more of it.

[Disposed Hero]

Ah, I knew about the ammo box, but not the medicine box.  Like others here, I'm pretty low on meds after the Warehouse boss, so it should come in handy.

[GrayGhost81]

While we're throwing out tips and tricks, I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet but

Spoiler (hover to show)

Your PE meter will refill faster if you change your armor in battle, so have a backup and just switch back and forth to unleash those PE powers!

[techwizard]

didn't know that GrayGhost, will have to try it!

[singlebanana]

The final checkpoint is up. Good luck finishing the game!

[techwizard]

i finished the game! what an epic finish, and some really creepy moments too. i have to agree with GrayGhost's earlier tip about

Spoiler (hover to show)

liberate

that made most of the boss fights infinitely easier.

[singlebanana]

Awesome, so besides myself, techwizard, and GrayGhost, has anyone else finished?

I havn't had a chance to play again yet. Hoping to sneak in an hour or two tonight.
