As for collecting loot and money in RESI 5, there are many ways to go.
However, there is one way that will give you a round sum of money, as well as some slaught as you can play this trough on Amateur mode.
Stage 5.1 "Uroboros Research Facility"
You start off in the room where you fought the Uroboros Mkono. Heading up the stairs will lead you to an observation module above the room you started in. Here you can find a safe which contains one Sapphire (goes for 3000).
Heading furhter, you can find 60 rounds of MG ammo, 5 rounds of SG ammo and some crates containing random items like:
-Handgun ammo
-Grenade
-Flash Grenade
-Indenciry Grenade
-Riffle ammo
-Up to 500 gold
In the next big room, you can easily kill off some majinis at the other balcony using any weapon and shoot them from your starting position in the room.
To your left is two crates containing either:
-Hangun ammo
-Up to 200 gold
-Flash grenade
-Riffle ammo
Continuing over the balcony will trigger a Reaper to appear. 4 shots with the SIG P226 hangun and it's down, leaving the valuable Power Stone for you to pick up. Power stones go for 5000 each!
Moving further and some more majinis with MG's will appear. Easily taken care of.
As you move on, you are very likely to encounter another reaper.
Not much struggle and another Power stone can be collected.
If you're really lucky, you can encounter 3 reapers in this area. That's 15000 kacing!
Now you have to activate some elevator controlls, and while you're at it, you can pick up plenty of loot from the crates you find there:
-Handgun ammo
-MG ammo
-Riffle ammo
-Grenades
-H&K PSG-1 sniper riffle (in a container)
-Red herb
As you kill the fat majini when crossing the elevator, he'll drop a jewel bangle that go for 1000. Proceeding, you'll have to kill 3 rocket launcher armed majinis and very likely some capelos. Once you make your way to the far end of the balcony, you can pick up a necklace that you can sell for 5000.
In the next part of this stage, you'll have to ride the massive elevator and sniper off some majinis as you go. Not a big deal. Maybe they'll drop some amoo etc.
This next room is interessting, as it's a matter of luck how many lion hearts all the lickers will drop.
Make sure that the AI is the one that remains on the ground, as you ride the elevator up in order to unlock the door to the bridge controll.
Lickers can easily be killed with a powerful SG or a good riffle. They're not to hard to kill with the SIG P226 hangun as well. But these guys tend to spawn in great numbers, and the ultimate way to get rid of them (except from using a well placed rocket) is to load your Grenade launcher with Nitrogen rounds which will freeze them on impact. Once frozen, you can easily kill them off with any other weapon. Peice of pie. Lion hearts sell for 2500 each.
You can also find a golden chalice here (2000), a first aid spray and some magnum ammo in the three lockers inside the small building.
Now for the fun part, and why I love playing this stage for money.
You get to fight Wesker! biggrin.gif
Use any type of weapon. I recomend either the SIG P226 hangun or the LG Hawk Magnum (can also be found in this room, within a crate that both the player and the Ai have to cooperate in order to move). In this crate, there's also two jewels that go for 1000 each. You can also find another type of Sapphire here, in a smaller jar, and one close to one of the Tricell crates. Both go for 1000.
Now for the fun. Wesker.
The first thing you do is to investigate the door on the lower level of this room. that will immediatly trigger the small cutscene with Wesker kicking Chris trough it.
Run up the stairs and grab the loot mentioned above.
Then let the hide and seek game begin!
Just run behind him or hide behind a wall until he comes close.
Fire with your gun until he get down on his knees. (Be warned that instead of going down. he sometimes gets pissed and runs fast as * for you).
Once his down, quickly run towards him and press square (PS3 version). This will trigger a combo move.
For me, it was:
Square (starting the combo)
Square
Circle
Cross
Cross+square
This will inflict maximum damage on him.
Repeat this a few times until he goes;
Selfrigeous fools! Dino_grins.gif
And wait for him to run away with the tail between his legs.
Now that you've handled him, this is the last thing you'll do:
Once you start fighting Jill, the FIRST thing you do is to run down the stairs and turn right immediatly.
There (provided that you "beaten" Wesker) you will find the precious Heart of Africa diamond that goes for a whooping 10,000!
So, playing this stage for about 20-30 minutes, can give you:
Somewhere around 40000 in one race if you're really lucky!
And massive amounts of ammo and other loot.
Plus, the EXP you get for completing the stage. You should easily be able to achive S on this!
This is what I feel is the best way to collect money!
