I am finally playing RE4 for the first time in my life (seriously I been holding off for years) and I love it but I cannot beat the two big ogre guys for poo poo. It's the ones where you can pull a lever and kill one of them by getting him to fall in a vat of lava. But I can't beat the second one for poo poo.

I run out of ammo and using the knife does nothing because you need to hit the octopus thing coming out of his back. How the gently caress do I kill this guy with very little ammo?

They are called "los dos gigantes" and I wasted 9 minutes watching someone play them on Youtube and then losing (why did he upload the video)

I tend to RPG one of them off the bat. I think you can actually dunk both of them though?

I have killed one with a knife before, there is a context action to run up his back and slash it.

You can only dunk one. If you don't dunk either you get more cash though!!!

It is possible to get screwed on ammo if you just spray everything and don't finish off enemies with melee and knife kills. Its an action game but its not Doom.

I never saw the context action before. Just go up behind him and it should show up? That's actually a huge help. Man gamefaqs really is useless for stuff like this.

I am using the shotgun (leveled up to level 9 for firepower), the TMP, the handgun, the punisher, the mine throwing thing, and the rifle. I have been looking for the loving blue cat's eye for a goddamn week so I can sell the chalice for mucho dinero. Only got red and green so I don't have the broken butterfly or the riot gun or anything yet (but I got the big rear end suitcase now). I was so pissed I found the free rocket launcher after defeating that machine gun boss but I coudlnt take it with me and there's no way to go back now that i got a bigger suitcase

i also have a few grenades (all types) but yeah I use every weapon and all ammo and the fucker never dies

there is so much fail here i don't even know where to begin. you missed a free broken butterfly, don't use the mine layer, the punisher is also bad, i think you missed the blue cat's eye also

Skip tactical shotgun, wait for striker
Skip semi-auto sniper if you are tru hardcore gamer
There is a Broken butterfly 4 free
Save Rpg for the right hand
Carry the bass (L) as far as loving possible into the game for a cool secret

Probably more but i havent played re4 in so long, is the steam version ok?

hahaha gently caress u buddy buy the TMP but buy every upgrade and horde ammo until the island. You can kill the regenerators in like 2/3rds of a clip without dealing with rifles at all, it loving owns.

there's literally no reason to ever use the other mangum (I think it has slightly more ammo but it does way less damage so it doesn't balance out at all). it's just there to promote killer7 and is otherwise worse in every way

magnum protip, if you upgrade a guns capacity when it's not fully loaded you get a free reload

tmp owns because you get to set up melee hits/shoot objects and save your real ammo for killing dirty spanish people

it's also good for blowing up shields if you for whatever reason don't just wanna shotgun that poo poo off

i carry tmp/fully loaded striker/red9/rifle w/ thermal scope/broken butterfly/black bass (L) usually.

if you're having ammo problems at that point in the game you need help though

more re6 stuff: whenever you converge on someone's path (sherry and leon's cross at one point) if you're playing co-op the game will detect if anyone's near there and match you up so it ends up temporarily being 4-player. crossover characters can do anything a normal teammate can do like reviving you or helping you get enemies off of you which is cool

enemy weak points are annoying. they're really not as bad as revelations where they don't make any sense but the new bastard mix of crimson head and hunter's chest is its weakness and it almost never exposes it, so there's no point. if it jumps at you and you QTE that fucker, it's an instant kill

the new enemy in the second country is the first enemy to make me feel the "oh poo poo" feeling from a game since the dogs in re4 the first time you run into them

there's also a multiplayer mode called Agent Hunt that's optional that lets people invade your games and control enemies like a bastard child of dark souls and l4d

max upgraded contact beam kills the thing it's aimed at. there is no question. it is dead. carrying it also makes contact beam ammo drop that's worth a hells of lot of money.

max upgraded force gun can actually kill poo poo which is a feature the unupgraded one doesn't have and you can kind of roomba around a room and shoot into the resulting pile of dudes for a bit and they all die and probably give you more ammo than you used.

max upgraded pulse rifle kills most stuff in 3-4 bursts and each ammo drop is 25 shots so it's economical as hell

another re6 thing i reminded myself of there: there's a room w/ attack bomb roombas

I'm not going to fault you for using the shotgun, TMP, or bolt action rifle, but the mine thrower and those two handguns aren't worth the space or money they take up.
(For the record I use the Red 9 + Stock, Semi-Auto Rifle, Striker, and Broken Butterfly)

The Cat's Eye gems are all random drops from the invisible bug guys, with blue being the rarest. You aren't guaranteed to get a blue. They don't show up after the castle either. If you find a room with the bug things in it just kill them for the gems and reload from a checkpoint if you don't get blue. Reloading from a checkpoint takes you back to the last loading zone door.

Also you totally can go back and pick up the free RPG later. I remember skipping it when I saw it first on one run-through and going back to get it before fighting Verdugo/Xenomorph/Your Right Hand Comes Off?

Another protip: Don't buy scopes for the rifles they are a waste of money and inventory space. The built in scopes are more than enough for what you use them for.

I think there's at least 2 guaranteed blue eyes if you kill the giant hive in that one room. At least i've never missed filling a butterfly lamp if I kill the hive.
