Resident Evil Revelations

This is a strange one; a bit of a catch. Basically to clear this you will need good weapons + good parts. To get the best weapons and parts you need to beat Ghost Ship......I am going to give you some options. However, this is your best plan:

-with a boosting partner, get trinity bonus parts
-weapon farm for some decent weapons; multiple slots
-run Ghost Ship at level 49
-run Ghost Ship Chaos at level 49(this will prevent the second boss fight)
-easiest path is: swim to the hold and get a key, head to the casino and get a key, head to the solarium for a key, run through the lower level cafeteria, run through the bridge, head to the deck

EASY OPTION 1
There might be a few people still playing this. If you set up a match and wait, someone might show up. If noone is there, just create a session and ask for some help. The best thing you can do, when you find someone that can beat this stage, is not get killed. Save ammo and health for the final boss fight(s)

MODERATE OPTION
If for whatever reason you are unable to find one of those high level partners, you are going to have to work with someone else; create a boosting session. Together you are going to have to help each other get stronger. Your first goal is to find good parts and good weapons. To do that, there are some great parts in the Abyss stages if you are able to "Trinity" some of those levels. (suggested level+no damage+genocide). Also there is a weapon farming method for Ghost Ship Chaos that should give you some great weapons.

This game mode was designed to be played with other people. While possible to do this solo, you do really need have someone's help. Go for some trinity bonuses with someone and run normal Ghost Ship Chaos for weapons/parts. You are going to want to get, Cornucopia 3/4, Fangs 2/3, Bottomless pouch 5~8. Stage 18 is probably best to get Trinity with another person. See the list below for complete trinity bonus parts. Track down some decent weapons with multiple slots.

Another thing to consider is that playing this stage at level 50 means that you will have to fight "Dark Norman". The level itself will be easier at level 50 but then you have to fight him..... again, a catch. The same thing applies to normal ghost ship. The good news about fighting Dark Norman is that he will give you great weapons and parts but he can kill you with 2 hits and has huge HP. I would suggest just going for level 49.

INSANE SOLO OPTION
If for whatever reason you are not able to do the other options or you hate working with people or you just want the challenge, this is your ticket. Raid Mode lowers enemies strengths when fighting alone. The enemies have lower HP. If you can get to the final fight with most of your ammo/grenades, you will do alright. Everything below this section is going to be all the information I have gathered or opinions that I have come to after playing for as long as I did.

-----The steps below are not necessarily meant to be followed in order-----
1. Play through the stages as best you can, leveling along the way. Keep all parts you may think are useless now but might come in handy again. Sell obsolete weapons and parts you have more than three of.
2. BP and EXP farm Abyss stage one.
3. Weapon/part farm
4. Invest in weapon points when you have a decent gun.
5. Collect parts from trinity bonuses
6. Run Ghost Ship Chaos at level 49

The quickest and safest route to take is this:
-Get the first elevator key.
-In the hold, take the route that has you swimming and get the key from this area(there should be a weapon case here too). Clear that room and get the key.
-Go back towards the casino and clear that room
-Get the key from the Solarium. You dont have to clear the whole room; just the back half to get the key. Most of the hard work can be done from the diving board by sniping all the enemies in the room.
-Head to the cafeteria, and run through the low level cabins

The fight section here is not that bad. It is really the same as the one on the regular ghost ship except that enemies are stronger. The hardest part of this stage is getting here. Try to get to this battle without using many herbs or grenades. Hopefully you have a Pouch, Cornucopia/Ammo Magnet and Fangs equipped.

There is an exploit on regular ghost ship in the observatory with 2 players and the elevator. Have one person head towards the middle of the room. The other person will wait at the elevator. When the door closes, open it and the quickly run to the middle to trigger the wave, Then quickly run back inside the elevator. This will allow you to hang inside the elevator and take little to no damage. This also works for solo too.

Boss battle:
Rockmen are weak to grenades except the purple one which is not weak against grenades; take the blue and then green one out first.
The Rachaels can be defeated with stun grenades and melee attacks; take out the blue and orange ones first.
Ghost Norman is weak against shotgun, pistol and machine gun in his first phase. His second phase is weak again rifle and magnum.

BP AND EXP FARMING
-----------------------------
-BP+EXP farming can be done on Abyss stage 1. You are basically going to run to the end while fighting as few enemies as possible. Watch speed runs on how to do this.
-Buy/equip a "light weight" weapon to allow you to run past most enemies.
-If you set your character's level low enough payoff at the end will sky-rocket. I was seeing 5,000+ EXP and around 150,000 BP depending on how I had the level set.
-You can equip the medal of courage/level adjuster to make this really efficient. The level adjuster will work alright if you don't have the medal of courage. Also equip BP booster. Start at the suggested level and work your way down. There is no point in going lower than 10- the suggested level as the bonus does not increase. Once you are more than 10 levels lower than suggested, it really does not make any difference. I ran it at level 1 and did not receive any bigger bonus.


WEAPON/PART FARMING
---------------------------------
-Weapon farming can be done on Ghost Ship Chaos. Fight your way through until you get the elevator key and take it down and swim to the hold take the weapon case. Turn around and go to the casino. Head to the Solarium and collect the weapon case at the back of the pool. Go to the observatory get 2 cases; one from the back of the room and one for fighting the big rockman. Run through the lower cabins and take the elevator to the bridge. Fighting the last purple sharkman will earn you a case. At anytime you can back out of the match to collect your weapons.
-Equip as many "Rare Finder" parts as you can on as many weapons as you can. Having all 9 would be ideal.

Cargo holdWeapon case in a small room west of the enemy's area

PARTS

-The best parts to have that you should never sell in order of importance are:
Gluten, Cornucopia 1~4, Bottomless Pouch, Auto Reload(autoload), Burst 2/3/full, Medal of Courage and Fangs/Fertilizer. The rest of the parts you may find useful depending on how you play or some parts are only useful on certain stages or situations. (Dehumanizer is useful when EX farming Abyss1, Hunting Gear for wolf/hunter stages and Cloak is useful when going for trinity awards with someone.)

These are the parts you will get for earning a Trinity award for each stage. To earn them you must clear the stage with no damage, defeat all enemies and play at the suggested level. The misconception is that you have to play lower than the suggested level; truth is it can be the same as the suggested level. However, if you are playing with someone, they must also be at the suggested level or lower.

Abyss Stage 1-3 burst 2 or pouch 1 (burst fires multiple shots and pouch recharges grenades)
Abyss Stage 4-6 charge-shot 1~2 or pouch 2
Abyss Stage 7-9 medal of courage or pouch 3 (medal of courage allows you to play lower stages without your weapon's stats being affected EASY TRINITY BONUSES)

WEAPONS

-some weapons suck despite looking cool or having great specs. Sell them. The ones to hold on to and look for are the ones with many slots.

-This is the order of rare weapons:
(Rare)Orange, Purple(sort of pinkish), Red(sort of pinkish too), Blue, Green, Yellow, White(Common) The color means they have higher specs and more slots.

-Special level 51 weapons have a purple outline and usually have 7 slots. Hold on to these if you get them as they are the best in the game.

-Each weapon can have 30 permanent upgrades added. They are really expensive and the change is not always huge. However, after several upgrades it does make a big difference. After you get to level 50, this is all you have left to look forward to updating. Usually firing speed can only be upgraded 5 times.

-If your weapon does/does not have a title, you can change it but you can not change it again or remove it. Special "purple" named weapons cannot be changed though. Below is a reference of weapon "tags":

This is a VERY good reference site but it needs to be translated from Japanese and some of the names of parts and weapons are not the same. It has everything you want to know there though. This is my favorite quote as they were talking about a youtube video:
~"As the moving image owner also has rice, things of the throwing system are quite necessary for the elements of luck."


Also, http://www.residentevil.net/en/ is a great spot to checkout too. You can get free parts and weapons there. They usually do contests and chances are that you might have won a part or weapon without even trying. Great prizes; sometimes.

So 1st of all this is NOT a guide, the above one should tell you pretty much everything you need to know. I'm merely posting this to build off of what I said in the above guide offering help to anyone still struggling.

Yes I do still play occasionally and yes I am still willing to help. That said, i just wanted to clear some things up after several requests to help grind EXP. Where i don't mind helping, I'm only really willing to help those struggling with the trickier of achievements. Clearing Ghost Ship, GS: Chaos or getting those last few bonuses, etc. You don't need me to get to Level 50, just keep playing and it'll come with time.

If you do need help with this, please message on Xbox letting me know what you need and please be patient for a reply. Sometimes I miss message requests, but i will get back to you.
