will be able to keep all extras while still having a game as Grave.

Hint: Easy demolition combo points: This was done as Grave, but it will work with any character.
You can combine the Time Demolition Shots and another two together
for a bigger combo. Use Night Of The Grave and Cerberus Overdose
(O.D.), Executioners Blood, and any shots lower then those. Combine
Dawn Of The Grave and either a level two Demolition Shot or two
level one shots. Using Day Of The Grave will only allow you to
use a level one shot. william oberg.
Hint: Easy shield recovery: Hold Square until your shield gauge recovers.
Note: You must not get hit while it is held. Undead Zombie.
Hint: Bulldozer Overdose:
At the end of level 3, you will get stuck in a large room with
some goons, a pair of large rocket launchers, a pair of large
ninjas, and a pair of bulldozers. This is no easy task. Strafe
around all the commotion. Concentrate your fire on the large rocket
launchers and the large ninjas. If you are playing as Grave and
you have plenty of demolition shots, they should not last long.
Just use the Gun Dance attack a few times. Keep shooting and earning
more demolition shots to get rid of them if you run out. The problem
is getting rid of the bulldozers. Run into a corner of the room.
The bulldozers are too big to hit you in that small space and
will stay stuck to each other in front of you, waiting for your
punishment. If other goons show up, do not worry about them. Keep
pressing Square without moving from your corner and they
will soon stop emerging. Then, hold Square until your guns
start to go aflame, and release to shoot some burst shots. Regular
bullets do not work on the front of the bulldozers. When the front
of the bulldozers explode, they are now vulnerable to any attack.
Unleash your rage on them, without moving from your little corner.

Hint: Defeating the three bodied Boss:
At the end of Chapter 6, you face the largest Boss
of the game (but not the most difficult). This Boss is large,
light blue, and is a mixture of three different men. Do not run
around him. You will only make it more difficult for yourself.
Instead, take him face-on. Place yourself exactly in front of
the energy supplies of the monster. This will save you time later.
Start shooting at him, standing completely still. No matter what,
never stop shooting throughout this battle. Pay close attention
to the movements of your opponent. When he starts to wiggle or
shake, it means that he is about to shoot many little bombs around
the room. When he starts to wiggle, start swinging constantly
with your coffin (if you are Grave). This will deflect them back
at it for major damage. When he opens his large mouth, do not
panic. Instead, keep shooting at a fast rate. He will feel your
blows, and will not be able to shoot his large bomb at you. When
you see him move his sword to one side, jump straight up -- he
is about to swing at you. When you get used to the patterns, it
will be easy for you to finish his life bar. He will fall down.
Turn around and start shooting at the energy supplies indicated
by the target. If you have some demolition shots, use the slow
motion so that you have more time to shoot. You do not have much
time -- in a matter of seconds the monster will come back fully
restored. Have some patience as this battle is going to last a
long time. Repeat the process and you will come out nearly untouched.

Hint: Art point values: Demolition shots are worth 5 or 10 art points. Deflecting
rockets are worth 1, 2, 3, or 5 points. Charging a melee or shot
attack is worth 1 to 7 points depending on how many targets you
destroy, how far away they are, and how many times the charge
is used. william oberg.
