Resident Farmer 5

E and I finished our game last week, due to one delay after another. However, the delays meant that both of use had managed to pull off a significant amount of item and money farming. We were both armed to the teeth, armed with Sig 226s instead of M92s, and heavy weapons like 6 rocket launchers and Magnums with 300 rounds to spare.

I did various bouts of Stage 5-1 through the lickers for gems, 3-1 swamp for the rockets and eggs, and 3-1 village for magnum ammo.

We played from stage 5-3 to the end, so that involved a few irritating points where we ended up going to the FAQs. What steps were they?

The first Wesker fight. Now that was an annoying thing - all his dodging. We just ended up running around and wasting ammo for Wesker's declared 7 minutes. We didn't even find the L.Hawk pistol upstairs while running around.

The Jill scene where you have to tear off the box. Shooting killed her. Grabbing the box just meant getting kicked. We went through half a dozen dead Jills and maybe 10 boots to the head before we hit the faq, and found that we were supposed to shoot the box without hitting Jill, getting electrical sparks instead of blood. After a couple more dead Jills, we got it. So annoying. I used a heavy damage, fast, single shot weapon for it, the S&W M500. I couldn't imagine plinking through the box's HP with a pistol or machine gun. Maybe it counts the number of hits on the box, which would be nice, but we didn't try it at the time.

The Excella fight. Where the heck are these lasers they were talking about? We ended up defeating her with raw firepower and a lucky hit with a rocket. It wasn't excessively tough but I was kind of irritated we didn't find the lasers.

The reaper bugs. Don't use a magnum on them - I had to spend too much time aiming and died many times when the one shot missed. A shotgun is much better, less aiming required - it is enough to destroy the bug's soft parts. A rocket launcher is even better cause it chunks them even without waiting for an opening.

The 2nd Wesker fight - That official rocket launcher found on the stage works totally differently than the regular one you get in the game. Also the part where he plays catch only works in the dark? I guess we missed that part, but we managed to get him on the 2nd try, which was lucky. I managed to use all the grenades all over the map on a subsequent retry and ended up just winning by brute force damage, and took a while.

The ending is much easier with 2 sniper rifles, we only had one which made it a little more challenging. I was playing Sheva and had the rifle, which means I died a few times while E was figuring out how to aim at Wesker without a scope.

Now all I have to do is get some BSAA emblems and some more gems for achievement points.

Upsen.
