Easy experience:
----------------
An easy way to get experience points is to get a helicopter, preferably without
alarm. Go to any Infected area, and search for water towers containing Hunters.
These are easily found by going to the area where the crows are circling. This
indicates where an Infected water tower is located. Lock on to it, and blow it
up with a rocket. It should only take one rocket with a direct hit. You will get
8,000 experience points per water tower. With 200 rockets in an attack
helicopter, you can get 1,600,000 total experience points. Then using the
machine gun, you can destroy forty more water towers. You can then use the
remaining homing missiles to blow up a hive for more points. Get another
helicopter, and repeat the process. The water towers will respawn after a short
period of time.
Play the mission where you have to steal a helicopter to find the right Hunter.
You are told to go fly over the Infected area and scan the Infected water towers
for a suitable enemy type. Instead of doing that, fly to the Infected area, and
start shooting the Infected water towers that are around all Infected areas. You
get approximately 8,000 experience points for each. Shoot 25 of them to get the
"Misconception" achievement for destroying the Infected water towers without
them hatching. As long as you properly hijack the helicopter and no one suspects
you as an enemy, no one will attack you while you do this. One water tower
requires one missile. Make sure to steady it so you do not waste missiles. One
flythrough with the helicopter can get you 1,192,000 experience points, assuming
you can find one water tower per missile. You can get even more than that if you
use your machine gun. After getting about 500,000 experience points, crash the
helicopter, and repeat the process again from the checkpoint.
Note: This trick requires the ability to hijack helicopters and have Infected
Vision, obtained later in the game. Hijack a helicopter, then activate Infected
Vision. Look for the bright orange water towers scattered throughout the city,
primarily in the Infected areas. Shoot them with the helicopter's weapons. For
each water tower destroyed, you will get 10,000 experience points, which are
important this far in the game. Note: Water towers respawn continuously for
unlimited experience points.
Finding Infected water towers:
------------------------------
Squawking crows usually circle the Infected water towers, making them easier to
find.
Better landings:
----------------
When jumping, use a dash just before landing. If timed correctly and if the drop
was not too great, you should land at near full speed.
Helicopter jumping:
-------------------
This trick requires the ability to hijack helicopters and Jump Kick so that you
can fly towards the helicopter. You can also use the Whipfist's Grab upgrade to
latch onto an enemy helicopter. Double Jump can also be useful. To start, jump
up, and Jump Kick or use the Whipfist Grab to latch onto the first helicopter.
Do the button event to kill the pilot. Fly up as high as possible, and look for
the next target. Make sure to use the Lock On ability. Jump out of the current
helicopter, and Jump Kick towards the next helicopter. You can keep doing this
as long as there are helicopters. If you fall, quickly use the Whipfist Grab.
Note: This can be very challenging, but if done successfully you can attack
numerous helicopters without ever touching the ground.
Defeating the Time Square Boss:
-------------------------------
This Boss battle may seem hard, but it can actually be easy. Long before the
battle, purchase all upgrades that allow you to do +3 Devastator attacks, upon
max health. It is also recommended you get all upgrades possible through the
"Consume" option. The Boss is massive. Notice that under her health bar are
other bars. These are the Boss' stabilizers, making her vulnerable only after
you have severed them. At the beginning of the battle she will do a scream
attack. Be careful. Scale up a building or whatever else you can. It is very
easy to avoid. You will also have Hunters and Infected chasing you. Use the full
body armor and claws/blade. Max out your health by running around and consuming.
It is easy, and the only issues you might have are Hunters, but with the
upgrades one hunter can nearly boost your health to max, allowing for maximum
Devastator attacks. This is one of the first Devastator attacks you learn. Scale
a building, boost over to her, fall, and initiate the attack. You will quickly
see the Boss' stabilizers are being damaged. Note: Every round the stabilizers'
health will increase, meaning that you have to follow the tactics in the same
way, and it will just take slightly longer. Strike her with the Devastator. You
should have a chance for more, unless she does multiple attacks (green orbs that
track you, spitting concrete, and screaming). The armor reduces the amount of
damage inflicted, allowing you enough time in-between attacks to initiate the
Devastator again. Once the stabilizers are destroyed, she will fall, and you can
attack normally. She will then retreat (leaving you plenty of red health orbs to
consume) before shooting out of the ground again, with more stabilizer health
and "backup". Ignore the backup. This tactic works nicely, but if you get low on
health, run away from her view, and keep consuming. After she falls a total of
three times, you will have defeated her.
Defeating the final Boss:
-------------------------
Quickly switch to Armor and Blade after the cutscene ends. Having Infected
Vision will help. Stay away from the Boss until he starts to jump. After he
lands, attack him with an Air Blade Slash. He will become stunned after a few
good hits. Grab him and repeatedly punch. If you are taken down to critical
level, use a Devastator move to stun him.
Easy "Half-Truths" achievement:
-------------------------------
Play the mission where you lead the Leader Hunter to Ragland. Successfully
complete your objectives without being noticed. You will be instructed to lure
the Hunter. Look at the map. It is mainly infected zones with two blue military
zones at the far east and west. Notice the unclaimed area directly up the
middle. Keep in this area to avoid alerting the military and get the
"Half-Truths" achievement.
Easy "Misconception" achievement:
---------------------------------
After you get your powers back (when Ragland helps you), it will be easy to find
infected water towers. Lock on to one, then go to the corresponding building.
Get on the roof, and use the flying kick attack to do a lot of damage. Then,
quickly follow up with a combo to destroy it. Note: The "claws" powers will make
this easier.
