Just did the egg cheat and maxed out all my weapons. Can't wait to go through it again on Veteran with much better weaponry. Already tried my Magnum on the first boss - the axe weilding dude - and I took him down in two shots.

Anyone know how the game doles out the points for buying stuff in the bonus feature section? My first playthrough only netted me like 17k.

Also, is there a figurine tied to getting an S rating on every level? Gotta know because there's an achievement tied to buying all the figurines.

man professional mode is no joke. a regular punch takes off like 90% of my health!

also the graphics in this game are even more impressive than i thought. i was really surprised to see that my characters' costumes changed during the cutscenes because I figured they were all prerendered.

Cutscenes are in engine. The Framework engine is a beast.

Yes you need S rank on all levels - but not all difficulties

So I got the achievement for having every weapon upgraded...

...but not the one for getting all the weapons!

What am I missing? I bought everything.

I have proximity bombs in my inventory but not all the grenade types. Do you really have to have all of that stuff at the same time to get the achievement? $:-\$

The Sceneman · « **Reply #667 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:32:53 AM »

just beat the game. Fuck the ending had a lot of sizzle (no pun intended)!

Just screwing around now and souping up my guns. Got an infinite ammo magnum and shotgun and breezing through veteran. Prob gonna rock the FAQ tomorrow and get all treasures and emblems. Still havent found a rotten egg. And I refuse to do the egg glitch, cheaters never prosper. Only if max out all guns is my last achievement, then I'll do it

Mercenaries is the bomb but Im ass at it :'( Can only manage B-ranks so far. How do you unlock the extra characters?

Third · « **Reply #668 on:** March 28, 2009, 08:52:13 AM »

Chapter 4-1 is definitely the best place for money grinding. Enemies dropped 4 or 5 rotten eggs in that chapter, during my grind playthough.

And professional mode was easier than I though. I only had issues with chapter 2-3 and the Jill fight. The rest was pretty easy thanks to the infinite ammo.

Beezy · « **Reply #669 on:** March 28, 2009, 11:45:49 AM »

I have multiples of every egg except for the golden egg. Anyone wanna trade? Or is there an easy way to find it in the game?

MCD · « **Reply #670 on:** March 28, 2009, 11:49:41 AM »

there is only one way, chapter 3-1 on Veteran.

on the middle island there should be some chickens, keep chasing them till they drop it.

Ninja · « **Reply #672 on:** March 28, 2009, 01:03:23 PM »

I got 2 golden eggs within about 30 minutes of Mercenaries on the Mines level, it sucks that you can't carry them over to the main game.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #673 on:** March 28, 2009, 02:23:45 PM »

I got a golden egg playing on normal.

Also, the best level for money grinding (if you're not gonna do the egg trick, which I never did) is 5-1. Why? Because it's short as fuck and you can get the following items in less than 7 minutes:

1 jeweled beetle (2000 gold)
4 lionhearts from killing lickers (10000 gold total)
some gold bars in the safe (3000 gold)

That's at least 15k for every run through, even if you don't pick up any gold from killing the lickers. Also note that there are four lickers that don't come out if you don't press the elevator button, and one of them has one of the lionheart gems so you'll miss that one if you don't call the elevator. I would recommend having at least a magnum with unlimited ammo for this level tho, since the lickers can be a pain in the ass otherwise. Infinite ammo rocket launcher makes it a cinch. You can easily run through this level 7-8 times in an hour, getting yourself more than 100k.

Beezy · « **Reply #674 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:16:34 PM »

Yay, only 3 achievements left! War Hero, They Belong in a Museum, and Be the Knife. I got a lot of shit to do for school, so I'll get my first 1000/1000 next weekend.

Or you can just get a rotten egg and get 90,000k in two minutes each time thereafter. It's not cheating, it's avoiding the grind.

There are two that are annoying because you have to do something specific for them to just drop.

Here's an excel spreadsheet for the treasures:

I guess I just need a brown one then. Its pissing me off.

I did just get the Go into the Light achievement though. Did it with the spiders at the beginning of 4-1. Don't know why I didn't think of that before.

okays so whats the funniest line of dialogue in the game? IMO the bit at the start of 3-1 when Chris and Sheva are on the hovercraft and Chris gets all reminiscent about Jill.

Sheva: So you two were close?
Chris: *sensitve reflective face* We were partners.

I love the whole 'Partners' running gag. Its on par with Battlefield Earth's 'leverage'

demi · « **Reply #684 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:25:38 PM »

The hardest thing about finding all the treasures is knowing which ones you need left. Honestly, when I resorted to using gfaqs to finish out the rest of the treasures I had left, it was a more of a matter of me just missing them than anything else.

There are, for example, two treasures you can only get while fighting Wesker, and one you get during the Jill fight on 5-3. You can only get those two treasures during the Wesker fight, after that they'll be long gone and you'll have to do the chapter all over again.

Just use the achievement guide on gfaqs. They have all the treasures in order, and where to find them.

Himu · « **Reply #691 on:** March 28, 2009, 11:53:45 PM »

I think the funniest bit of dialog was the beginning of 5-3. Sheva's talking about Excella's motives and Chris is like,"Whatever, I don't understand that shit, a terrorist is a terrorist and terrorists die."

Of course, the one classic line in RE5 is "I'VE GOT AN EXTREME MAKEOVER!!"

Infinite Magnum but that should be harder.

Beezy · « **Reply #701 on:** March 29, 2009, 08:12:09 PM »

Yeah, I did it with the strongest magnum, infinite ammo. Also, try to hit him with that long ass combo 2-3 times. I did it on amateur so it was easy.

My friend just stopped by and we played mercenaries for a bit. It's way more fun and much easier to get A ranks on co-op. I need to hurry up and renew my gold subscription.

Beezy · « **Reply #703 on:** March 29, 2009, 09:28:37 PM »

No. Let him knock you through the metal door and hide behind a corner. When he can't find you, shoot him once or twice with the magnum then run up to him and do the melee combo. I did this 2-3 times to beat him.

Draft · « **Reply #704 on:** March 29, 2009, 09:55:52 PM »

This game is amazing. I love it.

It is not better than RE4. This is a definite. Whoever hacked RE5 together did a pretty good job aping the basic game mechanics of 4, but lacks the panache that makes Shinji Mikami the best designer alive.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #706 on:** March 30, 2009, 05:19:59 AM »

you can earn some pretty sweet cash playing 4-1, like 50k a pop. And fuck the egg glitch, that doesnt get you exchange points to put towards your infinite ammo guns. My sheva has a PSG1 but she loves to keep using up all the ammo. Guess I need to make that gun infinte next. What are you guys equipping her with? Infinfte magnum? I have the first magnum maxed out and infinite, L.Hawk maxed out and working towards maxing out the mighty M300 now

Himu · « **Reply #707 on:** March 30, 2009, 09:55:31 AM »

Who cares if the egg glitch doesn't offer points for infinite ammo. Make the L Hawk or M300 infinite, get the infinite rocket launcher and you can mostly blast right through Vet and Pro mode. In those modes you get 2000-2500 points per fucking sub-chapter which will make grinding for points a breeze. But whoop, have fun grinding for 100 billion fucking hours for the required over 1.5 million african cash required to max every single weapon. Honestly, the only weapons you even really NEED to make infinite are the hydra, l. hawk, and m300.

I use l hawk and infinite rocket launcher and give Chris (the ai) the m300.

I wonder wtf capcom was thinking when they made it so that you'd need to have almost 2 million bucks to max every thing in the game, which, at the rate you find money in the game...is ridiculous. I'm sure they let the egg exploit slide through Q&A on purpose.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #708 on:** March 30, 2009, 11:29:20 AM »

They probably did, but honestly I played through the game completely 3 times initially- one normal run, one amateur speed run and another to get all the emblems and treasures- and was able to upgrade a lot of stuff that way. When I sat down to grind I played 5-1 as I detailed previously and it took me like half an afternoon to pile up enough scratch to upgrade everything.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #709 on:** March 31, 2009, 05:30:21 AM »

its actually not too ridiculous a grind (as triumph pointed out). Did you ever play Devil May Cry 4 for achievements? My game clock is at 40 hours and I still only have 290 points. Good luck getting 1,000,000 proud souls lol

God shut up bitch. I did the egg glitch and it only too me a couple nights worth of doing it. DMC4 doesnt work at all because you dont need S ranks in every difficulty in RE5 to get all 1000.

I can confirm that it DOES give you the Egg Hunt achievement. They have to be given in the inventory screen.
