When you get to the scene were Max is having a nightmare, you will reach a bathroom where Max will say "Mona?" . Enable the coder code to get all weapons. Press 1 once to select grenades. Even though the weapon menu does not show them, you will still select it. Do not go past the second sink; if you do the scene will change. Stand by the bathroom entrance and throw a few grenades. You will see the Mona's body fly out of the shower. Because of the rag doll physics used in the game, you can move Mona all the way to the entrance with some well placed grenades. Note: This may require a few attempts.

Hint: Part 1, Chapter 1: Hidden items:
In the beginning when you are outside of the warehouse in the rain, there are two vans in front of you. One of the vans will be locked. Open either the side or back doors of the other van to get Painkillers and a 9mm pistol.
.

In the warehouse after the cleaning imposter tries to trick you, kill his teammate. In the room his teammate came out of is a forklift with a board and two barrels. One is an explosive. Push the lever on the forklift and the board will slide backwards, allowing you to walk up it. Then, jump to the box. Turn around, then jump to the other box. Jump to the box next to it with a open box to find grenades, painkillers, and ammunition.

Hint: Part 1, Chapter 7: Secret memorial altar:
When you get to the windows cleaners elevator, go to the bottom of it. When you get to the open window where you are supposed to go inside, instead follow the panel until you find an open window and hear a "holy" sound. Enter and you will be a place with red drapery and a book.

Hint: Part 3, Chapter 4: Protecting Vinnie and maintaining 8 Painkillers:
When the level starts, Vinnie will hide behind a wall panel and wait for you to kill the three upcoming commandos. Make use of the Kalashinikhov and Bullet Time. Do a slow motion side dive, kill two commandos, and hide behind the panel. When the third comes, kill him without using Bullet Time ,but still make use of the Kalashinikhov. Then, follow Vinnie to the next room. There will be two windows from which commandos and Russians will pour out from. If you want to maintain 8 Painkillers, do not go out into the parking lot. Instead, wait behind the huge box which is between the two windows. When you see a Russian or commando coming through, use the Ingrams to take them out. Repeat this and you will find the parking lot is empty. However, do not think that the battle is over. Go to the window, but do not go out. Equip a MP5 or sniper. When you use the scope, you will find that the Russians will climb the walls and jump down. At the maximum, kill two Russians before they jump down and wait inside the room. Russians will come through both the windows at the same time. When you see the Russians heading to Vinnie's hiding place, throw two grenades in Slow Motion and immediately eliminate the Russians who are coming towards you in Slow Motion (use the Kalashinikhov). When Vinnie runs into the next room, there will be Russians hiding behind the big metal box. Eliminate them there, but do not waste the Bullet Time on them. After you have killed all of them, run and wait for Vinnie to tell you that there is an elevator in the next room. However, do not follow him there yet. First, eliminate the Russians who are coming, then follow him. By now you may have lost half your life. Use the Painkillers. There are four more in the next room. Vinnie will run into the elevator. Once there you can make two choices. Either go into the elevator after throwing two grenades and using Bullet Time and the Ingrams while you are inside the elevator; or wait outisde, eliminate all the Russians, then call the elevator again. You are now in Vinnie's apartment. Admire it once, listen to "TA NA NA TA NA NA TA NAAA NA TANA NA NA" song, and go to the balcony. Use the MP5 and eliminate all the commandos in the compound. Then, Vinnie will jump down. Jump after him and watch as a black van with three commandos jump out. Use the Kalashinikhov and Bullet Time and follow Vinnie. Vinnie wiil be in open ground and be a perfect target for ten commandos. You now not only must protect Vinnie, but at the same time kill ten commandos. Use the MP5 and kill as many commandos as you can in Hardcore Bullet Time. As you kill them, more will jump out .Throw at least three grenades and make Hardcore use of the Ingrams, Kalashinikhov, M4 carbine (if available), and definitely use the grenades. After four or five tries, you will finally get through it. If you lose health, do not worry. It is easy from now on. Run into the next room. You will see Vinnie on top of a car. Run up the stairs and activate the button. Watch as the car moves up and Vinnie will run and hide behind a box as three or four commandos run in. Make more use of the Bullet Time and M4 Carbine. Then, follow Vinnie down and towards his van. More commandos will rush in. Use the grenades, Kalashikhov, and Bullet Time to end the level,

Hint: Chapter 8: Bravura lives:
In Chapter 8 Continued, you will start on a flight of stairs. At the top, Vlad gives a little speech. Once you get through the electric door and into the hall where the agents are and have killed them, go over to the television in the corner and turn it on. A news report will start, mentioning the gang violence from 2001 (the original Max Payne) and that the Bravura is still alive in stable condition at the hospital.

Hint: Blowing Up: Explore the construction site:
In the Blowing Up level, when you get out to the support beams where a huge hole has been blown, jump down to the floor below you. Then jump down to the one below that. You can explore the ground levels. You can even walk through the giant spools.
Arc Avalo.

Hint: Mike the cowboy:
The first time you see Mike (Vlad's friend), he will be helpful. Much later, you will have to fight him. To avoid that fight against Mike, let him take care of every mobster in Ragnarok. He should get killed. If this does not happen, after the final Mob fight, kill him just after the intermission sequence that presents the names of Vlad and Vincent. You should be able to take care of three to four enemies without his help.

Hint: Defeating Vlad:
As the battle starts, equip your MP5 and enter the scope mode. Look above the Vlad's location to see four cylinder-like wooden pipes holding the sitting-place (the square-like place that Vlad is on). Shoot the wooden pipes and they will fall out of their places. Remember to dodge Vlad's dynamite. As you shoot the last pipe, the sitting-place will fall down but Vlad is still out of your view. Look up again to see four more wooden pipes that are preventing a large pillar from falling down. Shoot the pipes out and the pillar will fall down, making Vlad move aside avoiding the pillar. After that Vlad, is in your view. Equip any desired weapon (M4 Carbine recommended) and finish him off. Note: Beware of Vlad's molotov burning bombs.

When Vlad is on the platform, after he throw the cocktail and says "I haven't forgotten about you Max", look up above the platform. Then go into Bullet Time and shoot the wooden poles. After that the platform falls but he is still hidden, look up again and shoot the wooden poles again. Do not forget to go into Bullet Time. After the big spike falls, go into Bullet Time again. Vlad will pop up and try to shoot you, leaving him open. Use the MP5 to get a more accurate shot.
Sobo1989.

When you fight Vlad, he throws dynamite into the room. Go back in the room to find ammunition for the MP5 and M4.
DragonfireSR.

This trick is useful when you reach the part where you have to finish Vlad off while he is on the platform. If you have an MP5 with a little bit of ammo, you can do this easily. In the beginning when he starts talking, back into the corner and get out the MP5. Zoom into the sticks. Do not shoot the middle. Shoot the edges of the sticks. In the beginning, you can cap off two. When the pause begins when he starts talking about giving you a sandwich, you can cap off two more. As the platform falls, if you are quick, you can cap off two more (from the sides). Run around that square a few times and cap off one more from the side. Then, run around again and cap off a couple more. Keep doing this until that triangular thing falls down. As soon as that happens, pull out the fully loaded Russian machine gun and finish him off.
Jackal.

After Vlad is shot off the platform and is on top of the lookout throwing Molotovs at you, save your rounds. When you hear pauses from the cocktails, Vlad is going for his gun. Once he gets to edge of the lookout so that he can shoot you, shoot his upper body with the M4 Carbine. Using any other gun will take longer.
Jackal.

When you reach the Vladimir Lem, you must shoot the stacks to make him reveal himself. He then starts to throw Molotov's at you. Do the stack shooting as fast as you can. If you use the MP5 with scope, it will be fast enough. Shoot the first three stacks, then use Bullet Time combo and shoot the other three. Move slightly, then shoot the last one. If you managed to do this, the floor will be only broken, and does not have holes. You can run around the structure that he is at, very close to the metal. When he throws the Molotov cocktails he will sometimes burn himself, and help with his own death.

Hint: Extra Uzi:
When you just enter the warehouse and see the little cubicle with the television inside, go a few yards to the right and climb on top of the boxes. Jump across and you will get an Uzi.

Hint: Extra pain killers:
At the start of the game, turn around and open the middle locker. Inside will be two bottles of pain killers to take whenever needed.

You can find pain killers and ammunition in the back of the black truck outside the warehouse.

Hint: Fast reload:
Press [Bullet Time Combo], [Reload], and [Bullet Time Combo] again. Max or Mona will spin, and the gun will be reloaded.
Tavares.

Hint: Apartment memorial:
During the level where you have to find a member of the inner circle in a fancy apartment complex, go to the part where two cleaners are outside the window on the lift. Kill them both and jump down from ledge to ledge until you reach the bottom. Run along the edge of the building until you hear a shotgun blast from the inside and see someone flying out of a window. Kill the cleaner in his apartment but do not go in. Continue along the buildings edge for slightly longer and you will find an open window. Inside, is a memorial for someone.

Hint: Mad policemen:
In the chapter where Max is suspended inside the police station, go into the rec-room. There will be two policemen sitting on a couch watching television. Walk up to the television and shut it off. The policemen will make comments to Max and they will get mad at him, but will not actually do anything.
Keith K.

Hint: Help from the goonies:
In the chapter where you get some "help" by a few of the goonies, use the following tricks. When they shoot their guns, stay behind them. Secondly, let them take care of all the cleaners and masked men (which will lead into the following tip). If there are any remaining, have an automatic gun ready and cap all of them. One of the goonies will be reminded of your name being Max Payne and they will turn on you.
Jackal.

Hint: Surviving in Dead Man Walking mode:
Choose the first Dead Man Walking level. You will start behind a van. When you just enter the level, quickly get the painkillers and go behind the van where you started. Use your camera with intelligence to see when the enemy is coming. Quickly enter slow motion and kill him with a quick weapon. Then, repeat the procedure. When they die, go in bullet time and get the weapon. When the enemy number starts growing, use your grenades and Molotovs. Note: Bullet time, and not shootdodging, is very essential to stay alive in the first place. Use it wisely.
John Smith.

Hint: Theme song:
Play the piano with the dead body on top of it. Max will attempt to play his theme song.
Supher.

Hint: Poets Of The Fall references:
On some levels, you will hear the song "Late Goodbye". For example, in Chapter 4, when the janitor tells you the code for the door in one of the beginning chapters, he hums the song to himself. In Chapter 6, when you reach Mona's room, you can hear her trying to sing the song. In Chapter 7, before you kill the cleaners playing the piano, you can hear one of them playing a little section of that song. Near the end of the game, in one of the dreams, you see a cleaner trying to clean graffiti, singing the song.
reneavillarreal.

Hint: Max Payne references:
In the beginning scene in the hospital, there is a nursery in the corridor just before you enter the elevator. Although you cannot access the room, examine the pictures on display. They are from the original Max Payne storyline. The first is Max and his family outside a house. The second is of his wife and child dead. The third is of Max crying while holding a gun.

Hint: Television shows:
If you are near a television, you can see a show that somehow reflects your life. The one that most copies your life is "Address Unknown".

Glitch: Part 1, Chapter 2: Man gets beat up by nothing:
You will start out on the bottom floor next to the room with the phone. Go up the stairs through the door to the next floor. Then, go up the stairs again to the next floor and meet your friend. To your left is a wood pen with a man laying in it. If you shoot the man or throw a grenade in the pen, he will begin to get beat up inside of the wooden pen by nothing.
Tim Bardon.

Glitch: There Is No Us In This: Kill old lady:
In the "There Is No Us In This" level, the old lady that gives you the shotgun can be killed during the intermission sequence where Max tells her to close her door and not open it for anyone but the police. To create this glitch, throw either a grenade or a Molotov cocktail at the ground near the door as you are leaving. This will cause her to burn in the intermission sequence if using a Molotov [Screenshot], or get blown sky high if using a grenade. Also, if you do a backwards dive through the door while exiting and shoot the lady in the head as the screen fades to black, Max will be talking to no one during the intermission sequence. This means that there will be no body on the ground or anything else [Screenshot].
