Desecrate Hoodoo's corpse -
After defeating Hoodoo, there will be a intermission sequence showing
him dead standing up in a coffin. After the sequence, he will still be
in west empire standing in the grave. You can shoot him with your
double-barrel shotgun in some areas. You can shoot off his head, arm,
and both of his legs, leaving his corpse floating in an up-right coffin.
Easy poker game wins -
When playing Texas Hold 'em inside the Alhambra, you can easily win with
or without a good hand. Raise the bid to the maximum. This should make
at least one to three players fold. You can then cheat to make your hand
better, and if the cheat card is a worse card, just go back to your
original hand. Afterwards, keep checking your hands until one of you
wins. It should be you most of the time. Do not worry if you lose, as
the tournaments are free.
Cavalry Sword - Defeat Reed to unlock the
Cavalry Sword.
Defeating Hollister - Sneak up on Hollister and shoot him
once. Then, run off and get behind a rock on top of risen ground in the
middle of the arena. When he is circling the rock you are behind, start
circling as well. He will eventually stop and yell at you to come out.
He should pace back and forth slowly while you hide behind the rock.
When he stops and is not facing you, shoot him in the head. Perform this
until the point that he becomes too smart to fall for it again. By then
his health should be low enough so that you can run out and keep
shooting while strafing. After you have gotten his health down all the
way there will be a intermission sequence. Look at your compass at the
bottom of the screen. He is the red dot. Find him and he will run at
you. Run, but keep firing at him with your pistols and he will die.
Defeating Magruder - In the first part of the battle, get
your bow ready. Every time Magruder is either next to or on top of the
holes in the ground with the blue/green gas coming out of the floor,
shoot an arrow into it. When it blows up, it will take some health from
Magruder. You must do this a few times. To better judge where Magruder
is, look on your radar when you are standing by one of the holes on the
floor with the blue/green gas. When you see a red arrow by you and it is
near the hole in the floor, shoot the arrow. When it explodes, run. If
you take some hits from Magruder, run for a flask to replenish your
health. You will most likely run out of arrows, but can find more in the
back by the big entranceway opposite of the platform and big pillars
that you will need to destroy in the second part of the battle. Keep
shooting the arrows at the gas in the floor until Magruder's health bar
turns red. After that the second part of the battle will begin. To save
a lot of your health during the first part, crouch and stay near the
outer ring of rocks. If he stands directly in front of you, shoot about
one or two arrows at his feet. This will cause him to lose health. If
you got hit by his fire, run and find a flask. The second part of the
battle is to collapse the cavern on Magruder. Save the game when you get
to this part.
Do not worry about replenishing your ammunition. Your
sniper rifle, regular rifle, and six shooters will suffice. In order to
keep one flask and your health to where you do not need to replenish,
stay ducked behind the big rocks where you start. Magruder will throw
TNT. Use Quick Draw mode and shoot the TNT. Then, pull out one of your
rifles. Use the sights on them. The only way to get Magruder to throw
TNT is to hit him in the head. However, it is recommended that you stay
and shoot at him from the right hand side of the rocks. That gives you
more cover than the left hand side. The trick requires some skill at
Quick Draw. This is the only way to get past it this part of the battle.
Try to hit all the TNT when he throws it. Try hitting the TNT that looks
pudgy -- they provide a bigger boom. The small TNT sticks are good, as
when they are hit they will spread out. You can blow the two pillars by
Magruder's platform up with them. When he says you are blowing this mine
apart, you are half way there. When Cole says there is no one left to
help you, the battle is close to over. When he throws the three sticks
of TNT and you miss and they land by you, run to the opposite side, and
then go back to continue. You have two big rocks to blow up to collapse
the cavern. The best way to do this is to hit the TNT when it is thrown
when they are close to the rocks above Maruder. By doing this you will
complete the battle faster. When the second big rock falls, the battle
will be over and you will have completed the game.
It is not possible to kill Magruder by shooting him, as he is wearing
armored plating. Instead, use the bow with exploding arrows. Get
Magruder to chase you. As you are backing away from him, shoot an arrow
at a geyser as he walks over it. The flammable gas coming from the
geyser will explode and damage Magruder until he is almost dead. Then,
when he is on the higher level, shoot him in the face with the rifle
until he yells, then get into Quickdraw mode. Get ready to shoot the big
package of dynamite when he throws it. After shooting a few sticks of
dynamite, the roof will collapse on him.
Defeating Reed - Never let Reed out of your sight. If he is
by himself and you cannot see him, he will gain health.
End of poker cheating - When playing Texas Hold 'em after
the tournaments in the Alhambra, you will no longer have the option of
cheating.
Unlock Apache shirt - Successfully complete Hunting to
unlock the Apache shirt.
Unlock silver spurs - Successfully complete Pony Express to
unlock silver spurs.
Unlock various stuff - Successfully complete story mode to
unlock Reed's armored horse, Magruder's seven barrel Nock gun, and the
Cannon Nock gun.
Infinite health - Go to the Indian Hunter's
hut, which you can find on your map. Then, go to the building to the
left of the hut, with the stairs going up the side. Go up the first set
of stairs, and continue going straight. You should see a spout-type
object coming out of the side of the building. Jump onto that spout, and
walk toward the wall of the building. If done correctly, you should go
through the wall, and into the inside of the house. There is only a
small ledge for you to drop onto inside, so move slowly. When inside,
look to your left and you should see three whiskey bottles on the
ground. You can pick these up as many times as desired and they will
never go away.
Easy ammo - Take a barrel of TNT from the
Badlands mine. Locate the abandoned house in the Badlands where the
buffalo graze. Go to the back of the house on the outside. Face the
chimney (looking west) and place the TNT barrel on the left side of the
chimney. Blow up the TNT barrel to open a hole in the ground with
ammunition for all weapons. The ammunition will reappear over time after
you leave the area.
Easy health - Go to Dodge City, then go to the lower part of
the bridge. Follow the path on the other side to reach a beach cave.
Look inside for a life power-up which will reappear over time after you
leave the area. Note: The cave also contains ammunition and money.
Easy money - You can earn more money on the bounty hunter
side missions by capturing bounties alive. When you find a wanted poster
that offers more money if you capture them alive and are having trouble
doing so, use the following trick. Kill all gang members or bodyguards
(if any). If the bounty is on a horse, kill the horse. Get close and
melee attack. This will stun the fugitive and present an opportunity to
grab them. Then, subdue the fugitive. This will award you more money for
each bounty. If you accidentally release him, you can try to melee him
and grab him again. However, if you do this too many times or if he has
been shot, you may kill him and get less money |
