For those who have finished their 1st playthrough of Re9.

1st time redditor so please bear with me.

Finished the 100% of Re9 this Sunday. Here are some tips for those who don't know what to do next and want to do the 100% as easy as possible:

2nd playtrough: Casual difficulty under 4 hours without healing and without using the blood collector.

You should finish the game with about 12,000 CP. To make this 2nd playtrough easier I recommend buying:

- the Kotetsu (infinite knife for Grace) ;

- the Tactical Tracker Modded (to give more credits per kill with Leon);

-whatever you want with the rest.

Some other tips:

-VERY IMPORTANT: if you die, heal or use the blood collector, ALWAYS quit to the main menu and load the save again. If you choose either "continue" or "load" the timer will not reset;

-In the end you need to chose RELEASE ELPIS or else you won't complete the Speed Demon challenge;

-while using the Kotetsu be aware that if an enemy grabs and you use the knife, you need to kill that enemy to get the knife back;

-although there are a lot of weapons for Leon. The only worthwhile weapons to max are the 990-TAC, Marksman 1A and the Requiem. (personal preference);

-when your health drops to low, don't worry. The game will give a bit more health if you don't take damage for a while;

-You can buy one stabilizer with antique coins;

-make some saves before hard parts in case you need to come back to make for some lost time.

If you succeed you will now have about 90,000 CP and you can start your 3rd and final mandatory playtrough of Re9 (I do recommend playing the game even after this playtrough).

3rd playtrough: Insane difficulty and other missable trophies (like destroy all Mr. Racoon memoriams, get all files, collect a total of 5,000 blood points with the blood collector, open all BSAA containers and cutting a licker's tongue by parrying the tongue attack). For this one I recommend buying:

-infinite ammo for guns (finally);

-infinite durability for hatchets, optional (very good for the Mr. X and Nemesis Victor Gideon Boss fights);

-infinite ribbon to save when you please as Grace. I recommend leaving this in the item box so to not occupy inventory space;

-Ghost Grudge (the revolver for Leon as a substitute for Requiem while you are still in the Care Center);

-Matsuoka Master Manual (more 50 points of capacity for the blood collector);

-again, whatever you want except the RPG-7 and it's infinite ammo.

The only parts you may struggle with:

-finding files and Mr. Racoon memoriams. Just follow guides or YouTube videos.

-with Chunk as Grace (the big fat dude that occupies the whole hallway), you can kill him with a few Requiem shots;

-in the basement with Grace, just remember the route and it will pass easily. Be aware that while in the basement the monster will not be stunned by a Requiem shot so don't bother;

-the Mr. X fight he deals quite a bit of damage. Try to not be cornered by him and try to parry his attacks;

-cutting a licker's tongue: make a save after you kill the elite soldiers that drop from the catwalks and do not free the licker. After that just return to the room, free the licker and keep parrying it until you cut its tongue. If you die or kill it, just reload the save;

- the Commander boss fight. You already know he only takes melee damage so just try to take it like a Soulsbourne boss fight. Remember his patterns and strike only 1 to 2 times when he is stunned. Close the distance when he runs away.

Hope this helps! Good luck and remember to have fun. You can ask me anything and I'll try to help the best I can.
