Resident Evil Village

It is not necessary to try to constantly keep the combo counter at maximum and chase numbers. If you get lost, continue moving on and go to the end, because you will still have a chance of getting S rank or higher. In the 1st and 2nd locations on 5-8 test maps, try to give your best.

It is not necessary to complete the maps to the end, if you want to quickly finish this mode - accumulate a lot of points in the first arenas, and then die calmly

The first maps (normal difficulty) passed as Ethan, the second did not work out at all, so I tried as Lady Demitreska - I passed a couple of maps the first time to rank s and even ss, using only one skill (grip-hitting the floor), the main thing was trying not to lose progress.
The most difficult map, in my opinion, is Factory 2 - there are a lot of turns and doors, Demitrescu has to sit down every now and then, then get up, but again he defeated almost all the enemies with his grip (this skill does not take sisters and some armored ones).

Top tip - Don't try to make S-Rank right away. First make A rank on the first 4 cards. Rank A is needed to open the next map, but for rank B they give 5000 Lei for each location, and they add up. Accordingly, having completed the Village, Castle, Factory and Creepy Village on A (except for the last one, it can also be done on B ), you will have 40,000 Lei (instead of 20,000) to upgrade at the start.
The second step is to start doing S+ from the first location, since for the S rank in the first four locations new useful character enhancements will appear in the blue balls, which will help further in 5-8 locations. (The miracle store is generally a “must have”)

Sell ​​everything you don’t use, upgrade what you need and move on. It is better to follow the route according to the videos from the hint above.

In an hour and a half I completed all 8 chapters at SS and SSS ranks on the first try.

We open the guides that we posted above, but they are only needed FOR THE ROUTE, that is, look where the person in the guide is running. It is not necessary to break all the spheres over time, but try not to run through them, for the extra time they give quite a few points.
We will play through all 8 chapters as CHRIS REDFIELD.
First 4 chapters:
1) Buy a set of onslaught for a punch
2) we sell everything except fragmentation (just in case) and a pistol with cartridges
3) pump up the damage, rate of fire and magazine of the pistol as much as possible.
4) in the game, fire a couple of pistol shots at the enemy and finish with your FIST
5) press L1+R1 and turn on ONSTANCE = your speed and damage increase greatly for a while.
6) open the guides and repeat points 1-5 along the route, while during the onslaught we try to kill the most tenacious enemies and run long distances so that the combo does not fall.
Hardcore 4 chapters:
1) We sell everything, buy the same ability as in the first chapters, with the accumulation of onslaught from the fist, buy a “dragoon” machine gun, it will be maximally pumped up. We buy an ability that increases HP per kill for 7500.
2) for the first 4 chapters, at rank S+, Chris unlocks an ability that completely RECHARGES the magazine. If you get this ability from a blue sphere, you don’t have to buy anything else at all)
3) we run along exactly the same routes as in the first 4 chapters again, but this time with a dragoon, finishing off everyone with a fist, including the onslaught on the fattest opponents. Try to get an ability with reload from a blue sphere, then the passage will be much easier) if it doesn’t work, buy all the bullets. If you wish, you can pump up the damage from your fist.

The last 4 chapters give tons of points.
It so happened that in the last chapter I completed only 2 stages and died on purpose, as the points had already exceeded the SS rank.
As a result, I couldn’t even pass the factory on A (chapter 3) as Ethan, but I ran through SS on the first try as Chris.

Video on how to get to rank S, the last level of Mad Village 2. I couldn’t pass it for a long time until I came across this video.

The number of points that I scored on the corresponding cards may be needed by someone, because I checked the videos looking more at the points and in fact competed with the numbers, and not trying to play like in the video. And I ask you, if you can’t knock out S-ku, don’t sit until it melts, take a break, go for a walk and finally drink. There were cases, just a warning.))

Village - 834 445 (SS)
Castle - 1,882,895 (SS)
Factory - 1,509,055 (SSS)
Crazy Village - 1,810,080 (SS)

Village 2 - 686 290 (SS)
Lock 2 - 1 280 055 (SSS)
Factory 2 - 826 635 (SSS)
Crazy Village 2 - 869 690 (SS)

Tactics don’t really help (except, of course, what to buy, sell and upgrade), since you still need to understand the trajectory yourself and how mobs spawn, watch the video and immediately remember, and repeat - it’s like that... In short, you just need to try, try and try.
There are only 4 cards, which are repeated twice and there are 8 cards in total. As you may have noticed, for the second half of the maps you need fewer points for the SS rank, this simplifies the task so much that not even all zones can be completed, I personally didn’t ruin it on purpose, they just killed me. For example, Crazy Village 2, I got to SS rank on the first try, and died almost before leaving the 3rd zone. But also the second half of the maps reduces the number of tactics, how to go through them, usually it is either with a knife and a grenade launcher, or with a default pistol and a revolver (with which to kill strictly fat mobs).

I just couldn’t get through maps to S rank, usually it was either rank B, A and SS, SSS only knocked out S rank at the Factory, probably the most difficult map, since there were a lot of branches, which was very confusing and often caused failures combo. But since SS rank on all maps gives you a lightsaber, I advise you to strive for it, it will be much easier for them to complete the game and combine the trophies Frugal Father / Thrifty Dad , Dashing Dad / Sprinter Dad , Knives Out / Master's Choice and Don't Trust That Snake Oil / It will go away on its own .

Special weapon "Tenet" 70,000 EP - the Duke will cost 200 lei
This sword has three modes that are switched in the same way as the ammunition on a grenade launcher. holding down the aiming and interaction button I have this + . Holding the aim button will make the sword double, most likely increasing the effectiveness of the red and green sword.

Red - deals maximum damage. The mob is on the 4th screen (the last location before the fight with Miranda), a lightsaber kills with three pokes, a double with two (on the body, if you hit the head, the number of pokes will not change, maybe this will decide on other mobs). the karambit kills with five pokes (it hits the head), the difficulty is CREEPY VILLAGE , on EASY the lightsaber can one-shot almost everything, maybe it can take out someone with two pokes. This sword is definitely better than the karambit, but with the latter, it probably won’t be difficult to run through the game, but it definitely does less damage, even on easy difficulty I one-shot the same mobs every other time from the 4th screen, you need to hit the head clearly.
Blue - automatically makes a counterattack if the enemy hits the block that you placed at the moment of impact (similar to parrying from Dark Souls or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, more probably later, in general the point is in timing), if you did everything correctly - this will throw all opponents about three meters away from you. You cannot counterattack or parry with other swords, you can only stand in a block;
Green - each hit restores health (which can be used without losing the opportunity to get the Don't Trust That Snake Oil trophy / It will go away on its own ).
Each mode of the sword is used for its intended purpose, green and blue take longer to kill enemies, but that’s not their point, for example, if you need to gain health, strike a couple of times with green, if you just need to run somewhere in narrow corridors, it’s better to take blue and parry to drop all enemies , which will help you run through the area faster, or just try to mow down everyone with a red sword.

There is a note on the table before the exit that lists the point requirements for all ranks and possible rewards.
Only the last two levels (Factory II and Mad Village II) are difficult. Both guides from PowerPyx, like many of their other guides, disappointed me.
As a result, I chose the following tactics for myself: Immediately buy a revolver, upgrade the damage of the match gun to level 3 or 4. Also upgrade his rate of fire and reload once each. Use the rest of the money to buy as many mines and bombs as you can manage. We kill standard enemies with a pistol, powerful bombs and mines (sometimes you can use a revolver, if the situation is appropriate), and bosses (like little sisters) with a revolver. It is not necessary to kill everyone. Before the second map, you can already increase the pistol’s damage, rate of fire and reload (magazine capacity is not necessary - I only increased it a couple of levels), and buy explosives for the rest. In general, the number of points for ranks in the second four levels is lower than in the first. Therefore, at the factory I regularly reset the combo counter and missed almost half of the enemies, and in the crazy village I completely died on the fourth map.

Required number of points for rank S

Village - 630,000
Castle - 1,470,000
Factory - 1,080,000
Crazy Village - 1,485,000

Village 2 - 516,000
Castle 2 - 851,000
Factory 2 - 545,000
Crazy Village 2 - 658,000

I recommend tactics through leveling up the initial pistol. I didn’t like it with the grenade launcher and light weapons with the knife. I upgraded the first pistol for damage and speed of fire. Gradually. And so it all went through.

Further. You can die. I mean that if you feel that you have scored enough points for S rank, you can die. I scored 450,000 in the last level at the first stage, and somewhere around 650,000 is needed to reach the rank. Having killed half of them, I immediately ran away from the location to the exit. They gave 150,000. Then I killed about 5-10 small Mobs. And he died calmly. Lalki rank S and trophy. But look very carefully and learn how many points the game awards. So as not to die just like that.
