Easy Level Trick	comment	There are many types of video game levels. Some are easy. Some are moderately hard. Some are hated by many people for being too damn hard. But some have a really easy way to beat them. A level that would normally take an hour to beat or high effort. But if you Google the level, stuff will come up, namely, people claiming that they beat it in 10 minutes tops. Tricks may include exploiting glitches or flaws. If a target time or score is far too good to get the conventional way, the game could be hinting that this method exists. Some players feel that this method of clearing a level isn't considered "truly" beating it, or call it outright cheating. Sometimes this is acknowledged in-game due to the trick skipping items that are part of 100% Completion, but in other games skipping the level makes no difference at all. When portrayed in other mediums, it's usually to show that someone is really good at the game. If that person's character is friendly, they'll explain the trick to someone having trouble with the game. If less friendly, they'll take the controller, call them a noob, and do the trick themselves. Using a fictional trick in a real game is a symptom of Pac Man Fever. Common in Real-Time Strategy games, Stealth-Based Games, Adventure Games, Puzzle Games, and any genre that has objectives other than "totally destroy your enemies". Compare Sequence Breaking, where you skip part of a game's story, Outside-the-Box Tactic, where you can exploit overlooked strategies for your own advantage, Cutting the Knot, where you're supposed to win with precision but can just headlong charge to the same results, and Dungeon Bypass, where you can cut a lot of distance. Sometimes overlaps with Offscreen Start Bonus. Speedruns rely on these, more often than not. If this trick can be applied to any level and wasn't intended, it's a Game-Breaker. If you're looking for an easy way to level up in games with a stat system, that's Peninsula of Power Leveling.

It's possible, via building momentum, to "jump" the ball across gaps and reach the goal in spite of skipping large portions of the maze, but Hena will fail you anyways, pointing out that you didn't technically complete the whole maze.

Easy Level Trick / int_187d5707	comment	Devil May Cry: The Light and Mirrors Puzzle in Mission 17 ends with a tricky platforming section wherein the platforms are only visible when the lightning strikes in the background, and the static camera angles make it difficult for you to jump. You could do it the normal way, or you could just accumulate enough Devil Trigger gauge and activate Alastor's Air Raid to fly across to the objective.

Easy Level Trick / int_187d570a	comment	Devil May Cry 4: Using the Devil Bringer's abilities (Snatch or Buster) against the dice allows the player to manipulate the dice game since any of those abilities would guarantee that the number on top will remain when the dice stops spinning. In the Special Edition, Lady and Vergil can do it too using their standard Launcher Moves. With a bit of pattern memorization and proper attack timing, the randomness factor gets eliminated, trivializing significant portions of Mission 6 and Mission 19. A platforming segment in Mission 7 requires you to go through disappearing platforms while being ambushed by Mephistos. This is tricky since getting hit will likely knock you off the platform, force you to fight another battle below, and have you repeat the same section from scratch. You can actually lure the Mephistos on the starting solid ground to kill them there. Since they don't respawn, this tactic prevents them from bothering you as you go through the disappearing platforms. Secret Mission 7 features this segment as its main challenge, so the same trick still applies even if a total of five Mephistos spawn this time and the platforms have more challenging patterns. Secret Mission 6 requires you to kill all Chimera Seeds before any of them can take over the lone Scarecrow. Its screenshot shows everyone on the starting ground floor, implying that you have to fight all Seeds only on that area. However, unlocking the Hold ability allows Nero to just carry the Scarecrow on top of the cliff, and then jump down to kill all Chimera Seeds.

Easy Level Trick / int_187d570b	comment	Devil May Cry 5: Bringing the Buster Arm Devil Breaker into the prologue fight against Urizen will let you interrupt his shield regeneration twice with its Grapple Move once he's vulnerable, allowing you to reduce his health by considerably more than what you can normally do. Secret Mission 9 requires you to stay in the air for at least 15 seconds. The game tries to give you a hint via an image of Dante using the Cavaliere (as it can make him float briefly for every held attack in mid-air). However, you can just simply buy the Enemy Step ability and repeatedly jump off the Hell Antenora's head, even without relying on a weapon. In Mission 15, there's a late-game Blue Orb Fragment that is set up at the end of a course that you're intended to fly over while riding Punch Line, which requires a tricky balance between maintaining enough speed to make it to the end and using air tricks on enemies to rack up enough style to stay on the arm long enough. However, it's also possible to approach the end of the course, jump over to the "track", and use Gerbera to propel yourself up the hill to the orb fragment. Or for an even easier trick, you can just use a Level 3 EX High Roller to rocket up to the orb fragment.

The trick is to wait until he slams the ground for an AOE attack, run up to him, and jump on top of him. He won't move (because you are already next to him) but won't be able to reach you, either, with his fists. You, on the other hand, will be able to hit him if you duck—one boss down.

Easy Level Trick / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	In Might and Magic VIII, the player begins on Daggerwound Island and is expected to find and repair magic teleport pads to travel between islands, finish some quests to gain the necessary teleport stones, and then fight through a cursed temple full of winged snakes. Or, alternatively, the player can rest outside the local magic shop (which restocks regularly) until a water walk scroll is available for purchase, then use it to walk across the sea to the final island where a ship is waiting to take them into the rest of the game. In fact, if a player has enough health potions, it's possible to jump/swim across the water, taking constant damage and drinking constant health potions until you make it to shore; most of your party may die, but only one of them needs to make it across alive.

Easy Level Trick / int_1f630f72	comment	Dark Souls III: Different burial gifts can change the difficulty level for early areas fairly significantly. For example, the Fire Gem lets you immediately infuse your starting weapon with Fire, which adds fire damage but removes all stat scaling. Except you just started the game, so you have barely any stats for your weapon to scale off, and even if you did, said weapon is completely unupgraded, so its scaling is very poor anyway. In addition, most of the early game enemies are very weak to fire. You can pick up a Deep Battle Axe in the first area by defeating a Mimic. It's the same deal as the Fire weapon, only it does Dark damage. Whatever isn't weak to one will probably be weak to the other. The first Outrider Knight encountered in the game can either be baited into falling down an elevator shaft, or you can simply run past it through the door into the next area, which it cannot enter. From there, you can use a bow or ranged magic to take it out safely, or use hit-and-run tactics in melee. The Road of Sacrifices has a summon for the mad phantom of Holy Knight Hodrick, who lacks the laser-focus on the player that invaders usually do; while he'll happily follow you, he'll pick fights with everything he finds on the way - allowing you to slam him into tough enemies like the Exile Watchdogs or Yellowfinger Heysel. The Exile Watchdogs have a second trick: just run past them and get on the ladder leading down to the next area, but don't climb down, stay at the top. They'll try to attack you but fall down the shaft and die from fall damage. Even if they hit you and knock you off the ladder, causing your own death by falling, they don't respawn, so you can easily retrieve your souls and their loot, which the game will put at their spawn locations. The Cathedral of the Deep has a few fights that get a lot easier if you can take out the Thralls, and a tough Mini-Boss who is too big to fit through a door. There is an NPC invader in Farron Keep who spawns in a Basilisk-infested area of the swamp. Using a Seed of a Giant Tree makes the enemies just as hostile to invaders as they are to you, in this case resulting in the Basilisks piling on the invader and Cursing her to death. You have a chance of obtaining a seed for free from said Giant Tree in Firelink Shrine every time you get invaded, including by NPCs. An NPC invader in the Catacombs of Carthus is clad in heavy armour and wielding a BFS so massive it's more effective at blocking attacks than most shields, and automatically blocks whenever he is attacking with it. As a result, he can take a lot of punishment from you while you will most likely die in one hit from him. You can, however, get him to chase you onto a rickety bridge which breaks several seconds after being hit with a weapon, causing him to fall to his death if you time it right. You can later encounter this same invader's physical body in Smouldering Lake. He is just as tough as before and there is no bridge to drop him off this time, but for some reason he is susceptible to Alluring Skulls. Just toss one out into the nearby lava pool and watch as he happily cooks himself to death. You can then quit the game and reload in order to safely get his drops, which will be moved to his spawn point. The Fire Demon just outside of Smouldering Lake is fought in a room filled with skeletons. The demon can damage the skeletons and vice-versa. While they start out on the same side, it's a certainty that the demon will damage the skeletons while trying to hit you, at which point the skeletons will retaliate and will usually win due to their massive advantage in numbers. If that's not enough, there is also a Mimic on the top floor of the room that you can either bait the demon into hitting with a fireball, or aggro it yourself and get it to chase you down into the demon's melee range. If the demon is having a particularly good day and somehow defeats all opposition you set against it, you can also simply poison it and run into the next room, as it is much too big to fit through the door. The giant ballista in Smouldering Lake is usually a pain in the backside, but you can bait it into killing the Carthus Sandworm for you. The Crystal Sage in the Grand Archives is extremely annoying as it keeps teleporting further and further up the level every time you engage it, then raining spells on you from its new vantage point until you manage to get to it again and make it teleport somewhere else after a few hits. However, if you never actually attack it, it will never teleport. Using Poison/Toxic Mist on it doesn't count as an attack, meaning you can easily kill it without it ever moving from its initial location.

Easy Level Trick / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem Some maps can be completed in a single turn with a Staff-wielder with a high Magic stat, one heavy-hitter, a Warp Staff, and a Dancer. In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, the final chapter was beaten in 3 turns using the Geosphere (which hurts all units, friendly and enemy alike) and a few Fortify staffs. Throw in a Warp staff to send a Falchion-wielding Marth to take out the final boss and suddenly it has become the easiest chapter in the game. Alternatively, just warp someone with good strength and a crit chance up to the final boss. He can even be one-shot with luck. The final boss in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade can be killed in one round if Game-Breaker Canas or 11th-Hour Ranger Athos crits with a Luna tome. Oh right, Nils possesses a ring that has the power to increase Canas or Athos' crit rate for a turn. The best speedrun for Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn involves using high movement, high damage, decent chance to crit Haar, pointing him at the boss and pulling a One-Hit KO in a single turn before the enemies get a chance to move. Paralogue 22 in Fire Emblem: Awakening has your squad fighting alongside an NPC against a squad made entirely of exact copies (skills and stats) of the squad you fielded (though with some of the best weapons in the game) plus a copy of said NPC. Field plenty of weak units plus a Glass Cannon or two, and you've just turned the battle into a Rocket-Tag Gameplay. In a turn-based tactics game. Fire Emblem Fates: Chapter 12 of the Birthright route consists of a bunch of narrow paths over water that don't all connect to each other. What the game wants the player to do is hit the Dragon Vein in the middle of the map to freeze over the water... the problem with this is the huge number of enemies between the troops and that Dragon Vein. The player can try that... or they could simply pair the Avatar up with one of the fliers and get to the escape point in 2-3 turns. Conquest Chapter 25 forces a Sadistic Choice on the player. Option A: Beat the terrifyingly powerful Ryoma in single combat. Option B: Make your way through hordes of Master Ninja with Inevitable End, which causes their debuffs to stack and turn your most powerful units into pudding, and get to Ryoma with the rest of your squad within 20 turns (or he'll start beating on the Avatar, returning to Option A, but even worse). Or you could equip your Avatar with the level 15 Wyvern Lord skill Swordbreaker, which gives them a flat +50 Avoid against any sword user. Suddenly Ryoma turns from champ to chump. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has Chapter 20 of the Golden Deer route or Chapter 19 of the Black Eaglesâ€™ Church branch, where Byleth and their army storm the Empireâ€™s main castle to battle with the Adrestian Emperor, Edelgard. With the nature of this battle as a Disc-One Final Boss, it should be expected to be a massive climax, with a giant enemy army featuring all sorts of classes, including demonic beasts, and a surprise appearance of Dedue as an ally. However, due to the start position having the playerâ€™s army already halfway through the castle, and Edelgard not having any really special abilities, one can have a user of the Warp spell easily send a strong unit straight to the throne room, and let them whack the boss in one turn. Fire Emblem Engage has a couple of examples, one usable throughout the game, one strategy specific to a map. The overall strategy for most maps: boss enemies typically don't turn aggressive until you've stepped into the range, forcing you to fight through the enemy army to reach them. Too bad for the enemy, many of them don't plan around the player having free access to teleportation staves: Warp to send an ally to a faraway spaces, and Rewarp to send the user instead, and Emblem Micaiah's passive Engage Skill expands the target range of both. Judicious use of these can catapult the heavy hitters of your army all the way to the boss' position as soon as the first turn or two, turning what should be a protracted campaign into a quick victory. The map-specific strategy: In DLC Chapter 5, the main protagonist Alear is kidnapped and helpless, and Nel is trapped in a room with the boss. Nel being specific to the DLC means she can't inherit any Skills to turn the tide, the boss has a respawning healer to keep him alive, and busting into the boss chamber in any way but the intended one (going all the way around the map and through every enemy) will cause an ambush of very dangerous sub-bosses as well as an extra sniper aiming at Alear... but the map has no answer for Nel being able to beat the boss by herself. It turns out this is possible just by giving her Emblem Tiki, making clever use of Nel's stack of Elixirs and Tiki's Area of Effect weapon to hit both the healer and the boss, making sure it kills the healer the same turn she Engages; you have just enough time to deplete a health bar before the healer respawns. Nel can completely solo the boss with the strategy on Lunatic, though she needs help from a Physic healer on Maddening.

There are three tricks to this: you can A. toss a banana in a Blademaster patrol's path and scoot off as they scoot off to devour the fruit, or B. craft some Ancient Arrows after activating the Akkala Tech Lab, draw aggro on a patrol, then insta-kill the Blademasters before they can do so to you. There's also a way to get on the rafters, which makes things easy as all you need to do is throw some well placed bananas below at a guard or two and glide to safety.

Easy Level Trick / int_22ae1772	comment	Valkyria Chronicles 4 has the chapter 15 battle "Versus Ausbruch". The intended method of playing the game is to abandon your initial camp to escape a pincer attack, then play a deadly game of ring-around-the-rosy as you chip down the enemy supertank while fleeing from two combined bosses's worth of deadly attacks. However, the mission's actual objective is only to destroy said tank, and there's very little between it and your starting position, meaning it can easily be hammered down by your grenadiers or massively buffed shocktroopers on turn 1.

Easy Level Trick / int_22e5872a	comment	Donkey Kong Country In Donkey Kong Country, the stage Stop and Go Station has you constantly flicking timed switches in order to not be attacked by a whole cave full of invincible enemies (which temporarily fall asleep when the switch is tripped). It's considered one of the harder levels in the game because of this, although a shortcut leading to just before the end of the stage exists, simply by going left and back into the entrance immediately at the start. Earlier in the game, Barrel Cannon Canyon is the hardest level of the first world, involving pretty tight timing of rocket barrels over Bottomless Pits and high enemy density. Most of the first half of the level, up to the midway continue barrel, can be skipped by climbing the entrance cave and taking a rocket barrel across the sky. Sharp eyed players might notice the bananas indicating the flight path. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest had a roller-coaster race that was very hard to get first place in; unless you go backwards after jumping on the cart, which gives a huge speed boost well worth the time to get it. Levels in the first and second worlds had secrets that let you skip them, but those are Dungeon Bypasses.

Easy Level Trick / int_23553960	comment	A large number of missions in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain can be skipped by doing exploits or simply having prior knowledge of the level: All of the Wandering Mother Base Soldier Side-Ops can be done in seconds by obtaining the Koi no Yokushiryoku (Love Deterrence) cassette, setting the iDroid's speaker to loud, and playing it in the vicinity of each crazed soldier. They will stop their wandering, wander over and salute you, allowing Snake to easily Fulton them. This can also be done by using the Cardboard Box, no exterior artwork is needed as they will recognize the cardboard box as a major symbol of Big Boss's legacy and salute and allow themselves to be fultoned without issue. Both Mission 5 ("C2W") and its Mission 33 Subsistence recycle can be completed in seconds. Just destroy the comm outpost's anti-air radar beforehand so you can deploy directly to the outpost in the helicopter, then shred the three transmitters with the helicopter's mounted machine gun. Mission 11 ("Cloaked in Silence") can be easily ended nonlethally by calling in a supply drop right on top of Quiet. It takes out half her stamina bar and can be done as soon as you've tagged her position. Mission 12 ("Hellbound"): The entire journey from the Serak Power Plant to Central Base Camp can be skipped if you know that you can jump in a cardboard box at the Delivery Point and transport yourself there. Mission 27 ("Root Cause"): If you know where the prisoner is beforehand, you can ride to him on D-Horse immediately and pick him up before he gets in the truck and crashes. The level can be beaten in two minutes or less with this trick. Mission 18 ("Blood Runs Deep"): The five imprisoned children being held in Kungenga Mine can be easily extracted by telling them to stop and then tranqing them and putting each into an empty passenger space on a four-wheel drive, repeat the same with the remaining two makes an otherwise pain-in-the-ass objective done without any stress whatsoever, and you can exfil via the nearby resource containers as well, making it even more worthwhile to use this method when you lack the child fulton capability. Mission 30 ("Skull Face") can be cheesed by riding D-Walker and carrying a Ballistic Shield on your back. All you have to do is speed through the base and stop for nothing until you reach the stairs at the very back. Doing this will net you an easy S-rank in record time. Mission 32 ("To Know Too Much"): It is trivially easy to ride to the intel agent and extract him before the search team reaches him if you know where he is beforehand, and the area can be easily left without anyone being wiser.

The "All Attacks are Devastating!" missions are often seen as extremely difficult until one realizes that the bow is just as devastating. Simply target an officer, let fly, and move on. Likewise, in the "All Attacks are Devestating!" missions and the "X Rule: Don't Get Hit!" missions, you can use a weapon with the Regen skill, which slowly regenerates your health. Because of your Last Chance Hit Point, even one heart per second of regen is invaluable. It's even more useful in "Definitive Edition" thanks to the Damage Taken score recalculation. And speaking of Regen, it works all the time, even in "No Healing" missions.

You'd expect this to come at some sort of cost or not be of much help, but no: on easier difficulties he literally does all the work for you, and all you have to do is take out Vamp at the end. Harder difficulties force you to do at least some of the work, but it's still worlds easier than attempting to go it by yourself.

However, in the Colonel version of the game, ToadMan's abilitynote Allows an ally's Liberate command to work up to 5 squares deep can also cause an ally to liberate through Barrier Panels, getting the key behind them far earlier than the level expects you to do so, quickly opening up a lot of the stage for maneuvering and dramatically reducing the average number of phases spent completing the mission.

Easy Level Trick / int_289f3039	comment	Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has two World of Light battles that can be done much easier than intended: The first is Snorlax, a fight against a completely passive, but giant King K. Rool with 500HP, regeneration, and a one-minute time limit. The enemy won't move in any way except to avoid drowning, so this is usually a straight DPS check... or you can throw him onto Kapp'n's boat when it appears. The giant hitbox touches the blast line before the AI thinks to jump off. (This one was fixed in a later patch.) Another is The Imprisoned, a giant, passive King K. Rool (again). Less HP this time, but after a few moments, a Ghirahim assist trophy spawns to attack you. You can either dodge the attacks and focus on K. Rool, knock out Ghirahim for a few moments of peace... or charge straight at K. Rool with Bowser, who can push him off the stage before Ghirahim even spawns.

Easy Level Trick / int_2a04866b	comment	In Guild Wars Factions, the Gyala Hatchery mission requires players escort a group of turtle hatchlings while defending them from waves of enemies, with the number of surviving turtles determining the rewards. Quickly leaving the start area prevents the escort starting and the players can then clear the majority of enemy spawns without endangering the turtles. However, while this method makes it easier to win, it's arguable as to whether or not it's an easier way to play the mission itself, as it's much more time-consuming and requires some planning due to lacking the NPC reinforcements. Prophecies has a number of instances, likely due to the first campaign being not as tightly designed. The Nolani Academy mission has a lengthy segment where Prince Rurik must be escorted and protected from a large number of random enemies and later a large Charr army. However, there is a fork in the road where Rurik goes one direction and will stop in a safe spot if not followed. The players can then proceed down the other path which skips nearly the entirety of the remaining enemies and leads straight to the final boss, whose death ends the level. The final battle in the Dunes of Despair can be made much easier while at the same time completing one of the hardest bonus objectives. Ordinarily the players must defend a fortress from waves of Forgotten attackers and siege worms until a timer ends. However, it's possible using a specific set of skills and weapons to get the entire party outside the fortress before the gates open. The players can then kill all of the Forgotten mobs, complete the bonus objective, and map the ordinarily inaccessible area without any time constraints. As a result the only enemy to worry about once the siege starts are the worms. The Augury Rock mission consists of a fight against a Mirror Boss. Players quickly determined how the AI worked and broke it over their knee. The easiest strategy to beat it requires casting only one skill and then just standing still while the boss kills itself. The Ice Caves of Sorrow has a segment where the player is intended to be running from a large group of Mursaat while fighting through large groups of White Mantle and Stone Summit. However the Mursaat follow a set path and can be triggered while the players are in a safe spot; the Mursaat will eliminate most of the Stone Summit before dying to siege weapon fire, leaving players to clear a scattering of White Mantle. In Eye of the North the Genius Operated Living Enchanted Manifestation mission involves protecting kilns from waves of Destroyers. If the players avoid the kilns at the start of the level the waves will not trigger, allowing players to clear a majority of the level's enemies at their own pace. Once the static spawns are removed, the kilns are activated and it's a trivial matter to eliminate the spawning waves.

To make the former disappear for good, all you need to do is build a few Demo Traps directly on the tracks via the GLA Worker units you gain access to after capturing one of the Supply Stash buildings located to the north-east of your starting base, thus permanently being rid of that pesky train and the latter can be avoided entirely by not sending any units near the vicinity of the stadium by sticking to the east path from your base, thereby preventing the trigger from ever occurring.

Easy Level Trick / int_30450a9a	comment	Alien: Isolation Running is almost always suicidal since you will attract the alien with your noise. However, if you press the crouch and run buttons, with a little practice you can run without making any noise at all. Mission 16 requires you to stealth your way through many armed security guards, eager to kill you. However, there is a hidden switch that allows you to free an android that will engage the guards for you if you lure it in the main hallway... just beware that it will be hostile towards you too. Mission 10, "The Trap", you are supposed to lock sections of the space station and lead the alien to an ejectable pod. The mission is divided in three sublevels. In the first sublevel you are tasked to trigger shutters designed against piracy, in an attempt to imprison the alien in an isolated section of the space station. The xenomorph will obviously make the process difficult. However, you can actually lock the alien between a shutter and a closed door at the very beginning of the level, thus preventing it from disturbing you for the rest of the level! This specific shutter is the one above the stairs. Simply toss a flare in front of the door, make some noise to attract the alien and hide. When it comes, it will investigate the flare. If spacing is right, he will be exactly in the tiny space between the shutter and the door. You then can sneak to the sealing device and trap the xenomorph! As this video shows, hilarity could potentially ensue. You will still have to complete the objectives and lock the remaining shutters as intended by game-story and developers, just without any enemy around. Note however that after you seal all the required shutters, and trigger the sequence in the server room where you become trapped inside and must wait for Ricardo to undo everything to get free (the alien is supposed to escape too), the xenomorph will script-spawn. It will follow you in the second sublevel in Gemini Solutions as well, which you will access soon afterwards. Mission 5 has the player being locked down inside a medical bay, looking for a passcode to enter a new area. When the passcode is found and the player leaves the room, a script triggers the entrance of the xenomorph from a vent in front of the player. You are supposed to hide under a bed precisely on your right and then play the game as always by hiding, moving and distracting the alien until you get out. This level is considered by many players as one of the most difficult parts of the game. The trick is: the alien entrance is so slow that you can simply ignore it and go to the locked door, enter the password and leave that section when the alien starts to patrol. You still have to find a keycard in the new area before reaching an elevator, however. But sometimes it is possible to even do this without ever meeting (again) the alien in the meanwhile, especially if you toss a flare before the scripted alien entrance, thus gaining 30 more seconds while you enter the code, recover the keycard and go to the elevator from an unnoticed door nearby without backtracking.

All the lions and hyenas on the map will attack you, and eventually you come up on a pack fighting an old, scarred lion, and both animals will attack you. You get to the boss, and he runs, leaving you to fight two mini-bosses. Defeat them, and you have to fight a sabertooth tiger boss, which can spam it's powerful special attack if you fail to dodge it even once. Defeat it, and you finally get to face the final boss for this mission, which is an over-powered hyena, but if you don't beat him in one try, you have to fight the sabertooth again. This mission, while it still can be frustratingly difficult because of all the bosses, gets much more doable if you realize you can just simply and easily run past many of the hyenas and lions without fighting them, stop next to a carcass for a few minutes for food and to let your health replenish when you've been damaged, find a secret, hidden Pet Medicine on a balcony, and eat the sabertooth for another secret Pet Medicine.

Easy Level Trick / int_332cb317	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) In Sonic's game, there's a logic puzzle where you must speak to a bunch of guards and use their clues to figure out which of them is actually the Captain. Or, you can be lazy and just keep talking to the first guard â€” the one who gives you the puzzle in the first place â€” because he is the Captain. In Silver's game, Dusty Desert has a puzzle where you must navigate a giant billiard ball around corners and obstacles, into a pocket at the end of a long corridor. You have limited time, and a limited number of times you can manipulate the ball, before the puzzle resets and you have to start over. Or, you can glitch through a door by using Silver's telekinesis on a crate, and skip the puzzle entirely. For Rouge's segment in End of the World, you can skip the entire level by climbing and flying from pillar to pillar to the end.

Easy Level Trick / int_367f632a	comment	Dawn of War In Dark Crusade, the Instant Win Conditions for all the strongholds except for Eldar is to destroy a specific building or kill a specific enemy. You could fight through all the enemy forces and end the mission in a messy glorious free-for-all... or you could use the Imperial Guard's Defog of War ability and blast the target to bits with a Basilisk barrage from halfway across the map. Or sneak in a fully upgraded Tau Commander (which is permanently invisible and has enough firepower to easily kill everything that can detect it) and Cherry Tap the target from a safe distance. Or in some cases teleport in the Necron Lord, and transform it into a Nigh Invulnerabile 50-metre tall Grim Reaper to destroy the target. Most strongholds in Soulstorm are convoluted affairs where you have to go back and forth across the map to destroy several key structures, then attack the main base afterwards. The Tau, however, have access to powerful Barracuda fighters, which can simply fly over the terrain, level the buildings, and open the way for the final assault in one tenth the time. Soulstorm's Dark Eldar stronghold starts off as a Baseless Mission where you rescue your troops before being able to build a base. However, the Dark Eldar don't attack or use their soul powers until you've built one, so all you need is to take your stealth troops to the Dais Of Destruction and start beating on it (they have almost no detection).

Easy Level Trick / int_37b56f7	comment	Baldur's Gate II When a new game is started in Shadows of Amn, a cutscene begins with Irenicus where the player character has no items. Items imported from Baldur's Gate are removed by a script at the start of this cutscene. However, there is a brief period where the player has control right before cutscene mode goes into effect. The screen is dark and because the character starts out in a cage, he/she cannot move. A quick player can pause the game during this period of freedom, and dump all items on his/her person. This avoids having the items wiped by the script and allows them to be requipped after freedom is restored. The Double Rings of Wizardry won't work if this method is applied. This makes early game (not only the initial dungeon) a lot easier, especially if you deliberately set up a character with specific powerful items to import. However, this exploit was fixed in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. Might be Game-Breaker. The game has many quests where you have to face beholders, which are powerful and capable of killing your party in two seconds. However, you can buy in a shop a magical shield that reflects their attacks, making you nigh invulnerable against them. This can actually break many sections regarded as among the hardest in the game, to the point that some players consider it cheesey. The beholder lair in the Underdark can be traversed like a hot knife cutting butter. The most blatant example is an early quest against a powerful blind beholder called the Unseeing Eye. Since your party is not leveled up enough until much later, a direct confrontation is suicidal. To defeat him, you are supposed plot-wise to undergo a quest to assemble a magical rod that will heavily weaken the beholder. But with the reflecting shield you can ignore everything and simply destroy him in its lair without difficulty. Even if expensive, it's easy to get the required amount of gold. Averted in the popular mod Sword Coast Stratagems (SCS) where the shield is moved to later and made more expensive, forcing you to deal with the Unseeing Eye in the intended way, and beholders can anyway telekinetically steal it from you. Multiple enemies and bosses, including at least two dragons, start out non-hostile and go hostile later in the game, giving you a perfect opportunity to have your thief carpet the ground with traps. This also works on Kangaxx, with one particularly funny anti-Kangaxx strategy being to booby-trap both the spawn area and the wall a bit of a way behind him, triggering his One-Winged Angel second stage in two seconds because his first form gets pelted to death by traps, and then using the Ring of the Ram to push his demilich form into the second area. Speaking of Kangaxx, did you know that Minsc in fury mode is immune to his imprisonment spells? Imprisonment is usually effectively a one-hit kill, but your Slayer form is immune to it. 2 Reputation is a low price to pay for denying it to certain bosses.

It's considered one of the harder levels in the game because of this, although a shortcut leading to just before the end of the stage exists, simply by going left and back into the entrance immediately at the start. Earlier in the game, Barrel Cannon Canyon is the hardest level of the first world, involving pretty tight timing of rocket barrels over Bottomless Pits and high enemy density. Most of the first half of the level, up to the midway continue barrel, can be skipped by climbing the entrance cave and taking a rocket barrel across the sky.

The quickest way to do this is to send a few villagers to draw fire near the building in question. Thanks to the catapults' Artificial Stupidity, they will fire shots that hit their own Government Center while being easy for your villagers to dodge, winning the scenario for you.

Simply repeat the move with the right timing and they will stand up simply to get knocked down over and over.

It features a battle with a helicopter where you need to winch it down with a crane and then throw something at the rotors to damage it. Of course, due to a programming oversight the projectiles shot from the normally harmless Toy Spitball Gun were coded as thrown objects rather than projectiles or bullets, and it has enough range to hit the rotors without winching the helicopter down. That's right, you can shoot down a helicopter in seconds by shooting a Nerf Gun at it.

For the intentional kind, the first Chain Chomp mission in Bob-omb Battlefield can be beaten by ground pounding the post three times and avoiding its attacks... or you could just run straight through the fence behind it with Luigi's vanish cap ability. Or just smash the post in one hit as an invincible Mega Mario/whoever equivalent. For every other mission in the game, the 'easy trick' was simply to use Luigi and backflip, since it basically let you glide gently down to just about anywhere from a high enough starting point.

Easy Level Trick / int_41f626f9	comment	Quantum Conundrum: Some rooms can be quickly completed by exploiting the quirks of the game's physics and collision-detection. "The Path to Higher Learning": Rather than collecting three batteries to create a stable path produced by a row of DOLLIs, it's possible to simply get on top of the DOLLIs and cross the gap by jumping from one to the other. "Not Your Typical Sushi Bar": Rather than jumping from conveyor belt to conveyor belt by manipulating various safes via the provided dimensions, it's possible to stand on top of one while it's rising. When you hit the roof, the safe squeezes to the side, causing it to move horizontally toward the exit, and can be rode there safely. "Through The Glass Flooring": Rather than collecting various extra dimensions to form a floating bridge from safes, the nearby support beams have one-inch ledges you can safely stand on. By jumping to this ledge, and edging along it, you can reach the same destination while eliminating much of the busy work. "Choose Wisely": Rather than collecting all four batteries so you can activate the two buttons, select the Fluffy Battery at the start. Place a safe against the wall near the vertical conveyor belts and another against a stud in the wall near the fan, before switching to Normal. Use Fluffy to place the first safe on the nearby button and immediately switch to Normal; the safe near the fan will have been blown down the hall and land on the button. "Beginning of the End": With careful timing and luck, it's possible to float the first safe in the level to the rotor and spin it up without ever leaving the first room.

The Covenant will begin maneuvering once you get close enough to the mass driver, regardless of whether or not you are in it. Your objective also only mandates that you kill the cruiser. So, use the mass driver for cover until the cruiser is in position. Then hop inside it and take out the cruiser with one shot, rather than subjecting yourself to the storm of Covenant aircraft. Even better, you can use well-timed concussion rifle blasts to get yourself into the driver at the very start of the section, allowing you to shoot down most of the enemies before they even land. In the same game, Nightfall can be skipped by simply running past most of the enemies, since there's only one Broken Bridge in the whole level- and that itself can be easily bypassed using the forklift glitch skip trick that enables the player to leap through a gate blocking their path. One can easily dispose of the large Tyrant-class AA Turrets by ignoring the Blatant Lies of what Carter says about them being invulnerable on the outside. If you target the rear of where the main barrel is facing with concentrated heavy weapons fire via the Rocket Hog turret, Scorpion Tank and so forth from a comfortable distance, you can destroy them far easier than following what Carter says to do instead.

Easy Level Trick / int_43f52aa9	comment	Oblivion: The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal is the mask of the Gray Fox, Master Thief of the Thieves' Guild. Naturally, you acquire it after completing that questline. With strong enchantments that help a sneaky character and the ability to conceal your true identity while committing crimes to avoid getting a bounty, it's quite useful but obviously comes too late to help out in the Thieves Guild questline itself. However, it is immensely useful through the Dark Brotherhood questline if you wait to start it until after acquiring the Cowl. In addition to its ever useful boost to your Sneak skill, it also allows you to Detect Life while worn. For a number of Dark Brotherhood quests where committing the murder undetected gives you a bonus, being able to "detect" where other NPCs are makes it trivially easy. Of particular note is the quest where you have to sneak through the sewers to kill a target in the Imperial City Prison. Due to the events of the game's opening, the already dark and maze-like sewers are now patrolled by guards who must be avoided to earn the bonus. The Cowl will allow you to see where the guards are and, if you watch for a bit, you can pick up on their patterns to easily avoid them. For both the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines (and really anywhere with locked doors and containers), the Skeleton Key, granted by completing Nocturnal's Daedric Quest, provides a massive boon. As an unbreakable lockpick, even a character with a minimal Security skill can spam "Auto Attempt" until even the highest level locks eventually fall. Expect to see players rush to complete the quest as soon as they hit the level 10 requirement.

Holding down to make Bowser crouch and use his fire breath results in O'Chunks attempting to stomp you, landing (harmlessly) on Bowser's shell, being knocked back and landing on the flames. Repeat, endlessly. Peach's parasol defence negates almost every attack from Brobot L-Type, including the one where he tries to land on you, meaning you just have to avoid being sucked into his mouth vacuum.

Easy Level Trick / int_4673de1	comment	Godzilla: Monster of Monsters! has two very well known tactics that make the levels much easier: Purposely killing off Mothra on your first turn. Yes, she is such a complete millstone that the game is easier without her. Sure it means being ganged up on in later levels, but Godzilla levels up faster if he's the only monster so it balances itself out. Letting enemies attack you. Normally when you move beside an enemy you're given the option to fight them, and if you say yes you'll do battle with them at the end of the stage. If you choose no, this will force the enemy to waste their turn simply to start the battle you didn't start during your turn. You still fight the enemy as normal, but now when the fight ends (either when you win or if the fight times out) it's your turn: this means you can move a space away and back to replay a level and replenish health before continuing the fight, and it also means another enemy can't move in to declare an attack and beat your weakened self down. It also means Varan, Baragon, and Hedorah can't "retreat to the next field" if the battle is going in your favor, since they can only do this if the fight times out and it's the enemy's turn. This is basically the only way to defeat King Ghidorah, since he loves to trap you in the corner and just drain away all of your health and replaying levels between battles to restore yourself is your only option to survive.

Easy Level Trick / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring: A great many areas can be at least temporarily trivialised by Torrent, who will allow you to simply run away from high-risk enemies out in the open. If you're careful you can even nab items from around the place while fleeing that Erdtree Avatar, Tree Sentinel or dragon that you don't have the stats or skill to deal with yet. One location is noted for Preceptor Miriam, a deadly powerful teleporting wizard NPC who will slaughter you. However, by luring her onto the lift at the start of the level, it's possible, if you're lucky, to get her stuck down on the bottom level, allowing you to deal with the ghosts without facing constant spell bombardment, and she can even hit a death plane or fall down the elevator shaft to her death. One section of the Raya Lucaria rooftop run has several gargoyle puppets that will dive at you, followed by a sorcerer. Anyone with a ranged weapon can bait the gargoyles out one-by-one to finish them off rather than dealing with multiple opponents while being bombarded with spells. The Minor Erdtree Catacombs features a Dual Boss against two Burial Watchdogs, which can be a very difficult fight if they stagger their attacks to deny you any openings. However, if you hit one with five Crystal Darts, it will go berserk and attack the other one, allowing you to finish off the survivor. The only hint the game gives you that this will work is that the description of the Crystal Darts says that a similar tool was used by a golem crafter long ago. Indeed, the darts will cause any golem-type enemy such as the stone imps found throughout the various catacomb dungeons to go berserk as well.

Easy Level Trick / int_4c56381b	comment	The Binding of Isaac has many tricks to make your runs much easier: Holding R: This involves resetting over and over until you get a Game-Breaker on the first floor, pretty much guaranteeing that every run will be a win. The only downside is that resetting breaks your streak. Gamebreaks: These usually involve getting a combination of items that gives you infinite money as well as Restock, which replaces items in the shop with new ones after you buy them. This allows you to easily get all the items in the game and become absurdly powerful. Other breaks involve combinations that prevent you from dying. Not every run is possible to break, but you can easily just reset for the right items to lead to one. Character changing: Playing a run as an easy character, then using an item such as Clicker to change your character to a hard one. This means that you only have to beat the final boss as the hard character to get their completion mark, rather than having to use them for the whole run. The Tainted Cain Strategy: A more specific version of character changing which involves using Tainted Cain, who can easily make specific items out of pickups. First you craft some Game Breakers, then you craft R Key and Clicker. Use Clicker to change character, then use R Key to restart the run while keeping all your current items. This results in an very easy completion mark for a difficult character. Pause Scumming: A couple of different things can be achieved with this. By pausing at the right time you can kill Delirium with Plan C before Plan C kills you, which is normally impossible and saves you from doing a difficult boss fight. And as Tainted Jacob, pausing during Dark Esau's death prevents T. Jacob from turning into a One-Hit-Point Wonder. Erasing Dark Esau: Using Eraser to kill Dark Esau on one floor prevents him from appearing for the rest of the run. T. Jacob is one of the hardest characters in the game, so this strategy is incredibly useful if you're going for 100% Completion.

Easy Level Trick / int_4d2d6ce4	comment	Command & Conquer: In the original game, the AI would not directly target walls, and walls counted as structures when it came to building placement locations (new structures could only be placed adjacent to other structures). As such, a lot of 'base vs base' missions could be won simply by building a wall across the map from your base to theirs, and then using more walls to seal the enemy inside their own base. Many missions can also be won in 5 minutes by simply rushing an APC carrying engineers inside the enemy base. Granted, sometimes they will be killed, but if you accompany them with other forces attracting enemy fire, you could capture all the most important buildings with a single touch. In GDI mission 13 you can win with your initial small force by going north-eastwards, destroying the eastern portion of the walls and then accessing to the section with the bio-lab center you must destroy. The computer won't bother you, and its defense turrets are too distant if you simply pass where the concrete walls once were.

If you did missions in most likely order - by taking care of Krew's mission first - the center of city will be still off limits because you don't have required city pass, meaning you'll need to go around, taking more time. However, if you complete Torn's missions first, once you find Ashelin and survive Metal Head ambush you'll obtain said pass, which allows you to take shortcut around The Palace and consequently makes entire mission much faster. There is a particularly grueling mission where you're forced to escape Water Slums with the piece of Seal of Mar from neverending stream of Krimzon Guards on a maze of wooden bridges while being ambushed by dropships at every crossroad that shoot at you with pinpoint accuracy should you approach them. Going by water isn't an option because Border Patrol shows up and kills you. However, by advancing and quickly alternating punch and jump so you'll punch any soldiers approaching you'll confuse dropship guns into them being unable to hit you, which makes this level much faster and much easier.

Easy Level Trick / int_5425ce75	comment	Grand Theft Auto The series often forces the player to hunt down antagonists before battling them. Occasionally, it's possible to kill the antagonists before or during the hunt—for instance, Ryder in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas can be killed with a sniper rifle before he reaches the speedboat he's supposed to flee in. In Grand Theft Auto III, a racing game pits you against three other vehicles to collect points all over the city. The game fully allows you to explode all three vehicles just as the count down starts, say with the Rhino, and collect the points at your leisure. A lot of the escort missions force you to make sure your vehicle doesn't blow up while roaming gang cars are shooting from you at all angles. You could either have mad skills in driving... or just drive off road and avoid rival cars altogether. In one of the first missions in San Andreas, you have to follow a train in a motorbike with Big Smoke in the back seat shooting bad guys standing on top of the train. The shortcut is to get the bike, run ahead of the train, climb a concrete rail and a bridge, stop at the roof of a building and jump on top of the train as it passes. Now shoot at will. But there's a time limit for this technique, as there's a certain bridge passing over the train that knocks you from the top of the train. Alternatively, tap the accelerate button instead of holding it to make the bike go faster, which is also an Easy Level Trick on any bike races. In IV, the co-op level "Hangman's Noose" anticipates most players will grab one of the armored SWAT vans that pull up to make the difficult drive to escape the airport and the permanent 4 star wanted level. It does not anticipate a player simply running off to collect a nearby Blackhawk helicopter to pick up the NPC and fly him comfortably to his destination. Another mission in GTA III involves following a suspected traitor's taxi at a safe distance so that he isn't spooked. It can be finished much easier by using a taxi yourself and picking him up, at which point you can just drive him to the checkpoint. In yet another GTA III mission, you have to throw a grenade through a window to flush out an enemy, at which point he drives out of a nearby garage, and you have to chase after him and do enough damage to his car to make it explode. Or you could just park a bus or a garbage truck in front of the garage, blocking him in, then toss a grenade to destroy both vehicles. How to kill Chunky Lee Chong? Chase him down the street and hope he doesn't make it to his car? Or steal his car and run him over while he's trying to figure out what happened? A mission for Donald Love has you protecting a friend of his from the colombian gang as he slowly drives along a pre-determined route. The easiest way to win the mission? Doing absolutely nothing. Staying put and letting him drive on his own will result in him reaching his destination without any complications. Four Iron mission from Avery Carrington requires you to kill a target on the golf course, which confiscates all your weapons on entry. Unless you wait with the mission (since it's optional) until you get access to boats and helicopters, in which case you can simply snipe him from the distance without ever passing through the main gate. Ambulance missions in San Andreas moved even further into That One Sidequest territory, since every new level reset the timer, making it impossible to build up a reserve like in previous titles. Unless you did them in Angel Pine (the village you're dropped into after The Green Sabre mission), in which case all targets spawn within the village, seconds from one another. Hunter helicopter makes Vigilante missions a breeze, since the criminals can't shoot back at you and its turret auto-locks onto targets, has unlimited ammo and can shred a car in seconds. Made doubly easy in San Andreas if you start the missions over the Bone County desert (where Hunter spawns after you get all golds in Flight School) since the flat, empty terrain eliminates the need for precise manuvering between buildings, which was the main challenge of the mission in Vice City. Have problems nailing the motorcycle jumps in G-Spotlight? Drop the motorcycle after the first jump and find a helicopter. Vice City features a mission where the player is tasked with stealing a tank from an army convoy traveling through the city, which would require damaging the door on the tank enough to hijack it, all while surrounded by soldiers and the tank in question. Or you could just stay near it until the tank's driver is ordered to stop and get his superior officer some donuts at a predetermined spot, leaving the door wide open.

The Nintendo GameCube remake tweaked this in Chris's favor however, in an attempt to better balance the two: Chris is free to just run in and leave but if Jill wants that delicious assault shotgun she must save Richard and stand and fight with him until the snake is defeated temporarily. In the 2002 Remake, you can kill the Crimson Head Prototype 1 in a single shot as Chris by equipping the Flash Grenade, letting it grab you, and firing. This will save you tons of ammo and damage as Chris's strongest weapon at this point is the shotgun which takes around 12 shots to hit the thing and won't stagger it. A minor but much-advertised shortcut exists in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis where one of the rewards for fighting the Nemesis for the first time was being able to take Brad's ID card and save yourself having to explore the first floor of the Police Station looking for Jill's card after wasting a ton of ammo taking the bastard down. Of course, you can also choose to fight the monster, grab Brad's card, and run to the station without actually fighting the Nemesis or firing a single bullet at him. The lava chamber in Resident Evil 4 has three fire-breathing dragon statues that you must disable by killing the cultists operating them. You can go the obvious route by juking them and then sniping the guys from behind their cover, or you can look up at the chains each statue hangs from, notice the D-ring couplings keeping them attached, and shoot them until they break apart.

This includes the outcome where everyone is afflicted with Fear, meaning you can then cast Ghastly Wail for a One-Hit KO on Strength, thus skipping the entire first half of the boss fight. This works in every version of the game except Persona 3 Reload, where the Fear outcome was removed.

Easy Level Trick / int_597178e2	comment	Hoshi Saga: Several stages have an inconspicuous solution to an otherwise difficult-looking puzzle. Stage 40 in Ringoame's esoteric solution does not involve the circles in it to reveal the star at all. The number of stars ranked as the difficulty can give it away, as in the stage 48, which initially appears to be a difficult Klotski, but is in fact, just a click-and-drag to the solution. Stage 70 in Ringoen can be difficult to align properly five times in a row, until the player realizes the background keeps track of previous attempts, so he can use those attempts to continue progress consistently. Even the final boss of stage 10000 has three strategies that make it a lot easier: Staying at the bottom middle of the screen during the first attack allows you to evade all but one of the bullets. If you move your mouse cursor out of the game border and move it back in from another side, your ship INSTANTLY teleports to the cursor. This allows you to dodge the "spinning laser" and "rings" attacks easily. Finally, right-clicking anywhere on the screen pauses the game, and left clicking anywhere else will teleport your ship to your cursor. This is VITAL for the boss' Last Ditch Move.

Easy Level Trick / int_59a835fb	comment	Sonic Adventure 2 had two of these, both relating to Knuckles and Rouge's "find the items" stages. In the original Sega Dreamcast version, performing a Spiral Upper as Knuckles or Screw Kick as Rouge would "suck in" all objects within a certain radius of the character - including Master Emerald shards, keys and Chaos Emeralds, even if they weren't accessible. This saved a lot of time on stages that had shards etc. inside containers that couldn't be broken open normally, especially in Security Hall - normally you would have to find out which floor the safe is on that you want to open, go up to where the switches are and press the correct colour-coded switch, then go back down and dig in the middle of the safe to open it. With this trick, however, just stand in front of the safe where the Emerald is and Screw Kick to instantly get it. This glitch was fixed in the Nintendo GameCube and HD remake versions of the game. "Hard Mode" of Knuckles and Rouge's stages, while featuring more enemies and obstacles, always had the items in the same places every time. As such, once a player knew where the items were, it just became a matter of getting to them and grabbing them as fast as possible; in effect, the "Hard Mode" stages were easier than the normal stages.

Easy Level Trick / int_5bd9e7b7	comment	Dark Souls II: Enemies have a maximum number of spawns instead of coming back infinitely, meaning that you can make any level easier simply by killing every enemy until it stops respawning Heide's Tower of Flame has several ways to make the level easier. First, the Dragonrider can be baited into falling off his platform if you didn't activate the levers, or shot full of arrows so you can kill him with one blow if you did. Second, most of the enemies will follow you forever, meaning that you can kite them back to the first arena, which is both comparatively large for the Flame Tower and very close to the bonfire for easy recovery if you do mess up; plus, often groups of enemies will follow you at different speeds, letting you deal with them in smaller groups. The giant Basilisk in the Shaded Woods has a very low aggro range, at least in an unpatched game, so you can just shoot it to death and it won't react. There's a hidden bonfire down a side path about fifty feet from the Rotten's boss fog in Black Gulch, significantly shortening the gauntlet of bullshit poison-spitting statues you need to deal with. Mytha, the Baneful Queen, is very susceptible to two specific elements of her own level. First, if you set the windmill on fire in Earthen Peak, the poisonous pool in her boss arena and the one immediately outside it are both drained, meaning she can't heal over time and you don't need to wade through venom to fight her. Second, Jester Thomas, the NPC summon directly outside her arena, wields pyromancy, which she is extremely vulnerable to. Subverted with the Lost Sinner boss fight. The actual trick - lighting up her boss arena so you can stay locked on - is pretty straightforward, but actually getting the key you need to do it is like pulling teeth and requires you to defeat another fairly difficult boss. First, you need to go to the room below the Servants' Quarters in the Lost Bastille and use a Pharros Lockstone on the contraption. This will gain you access to Belfry Luna, which is covered in Bellkeeper Soldiers and is a heavily invaded area thanks to the Bellkeepers' covenant. Once you've reached the top of the Belfry, fought the Red Phantom there, and rung the bell, the Belfry Gargoyles boss fight becomes available, at which point you probably die a bunch of times. Once you beat the Gargoyles, there's a ladder to the side of the bonfire that leads down to a fight with a bunch of undead dogs and a quick Red Phantom with a lot of reach; the Bastille Key is on a corpse behind him. Scholar of the First Sin made it easier by having the key available only after the Ruin Sentinels, making it less of a hassle to obtain it. There are several large containers in the Iron Keep that are full of water, which raise your fire resistance if you roll through them - very useful given that the Iron Keep is half submerged in lava and the first boss there is called the Smelter Demon.

However, if you just hang a U-ey right at the start and take the highway past the dam and observatory you'll beat the Chase Sedan with time to spare. This works because this is the only race where two paths are available and the devs forgot to implement checkpoints to keep you on-track: elements of the map unload when you're that far away, meaning the Chase Sedan drops off the track and gets stuck in the void.

The Nintendo GameCube remake tweaked this in Chris's favor however, in an attempt to better balance the two: Chris is free to just run in and leave but if Jill wants that delicious assault shotgun she must save Richard and stand and fight with him until the snake is defeated temporarily. In the 2002 Remake, you can kill the Crimson Head Prototype 1 in a single shot as Chris by equipping the Flash Grenade, letting it grab you, and firing. This will save you tons of ammo and damage as Chris's strongest weapon at this point is the shotgun which takes around 12 shots to hit the thing and won't stagger it.

World 3-2 is a series of platforms and lifts suspended above Cheep Cheep-filled water, which will periodically leap out at you on the platforms. As Chuggaaconroy discovered on The Runaway Guys, though, the Frog Suit will let you leap across the water's surface faster than the Cheep Cheeps can keep up, and if your timing is good you skip every platform in the stage.

Act 3 can be made a lot easier by wearing civilian clothing, non-wanted face camo (such as Campbell, Drebin, any of the B&Bs), carrying no weapon, and complying with the first PMC that sees you: they'll halt you, pat you down, let you go, and now none of the PMCs will regard you as a threat unless they happen to spot you using a weapon later.

What the game wants the player to do is hit the Dragon Vein in the middle of the map to freeze over the water... the problem with this is the huge number of enemies between the troops and that Dragon Vein. The player can try that... or they could simply pair the Avatar up with one of the fliers and get to the escape point in 2-3 turns. Conquest Chapter 25 forces a Sadistic Choice on the player. Option A: Beat the terrifyingly powerful Ryoma in single combat. Option B: Make your way through hordes of Master Ninja with Inevitable End, which causes their debuffs to stack and turn your most powerful units into pudding, and get to Ryoma with the rest of your squad within 20 turns (or he'll start beating on the Avatar, returning to Option A, but even worse). Or you could equip your Avatar with the level 15 Wyvern Lord skill Swordbreaker, which gives them a flat +50 Avoid against any sword user. Suddenly Ryoma turns from champ to chump.

Easy Level Trick / int_6819fb9f	comment	Similarly is an escort mission in the back half of the second mission in Rainbow Six Vegas 2, where a hostage you rescue insists on helping by unlocking a door. The area you need to escort her through is one of the most target-rich environments in the entire game, but all the annoyance of the escort mission can be circumvented by simply telling her to stay put the instant she actually starts following you. No enemies will actively enter that area to shoot her, and she'll stay put in that area until you clear the area and reach the end of the room where she's actually needed. The actual fight in that area is still a doozy, but that too can be made easier by focusing on the open path to the right, which is guarded by at most two people (a guy on a machine gun turret and a sniper) who can be relatively easily taken out to clear the area and give you an easy shot into the much more cramped left-side path most of the enemies are actually inhabiting.

The Spirit Temple also has a sliding climbable wall, with spikes on both sides. Obviously a painful timing puzzle, right? Nope, just Longshot your way up to the top section! Defied in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and its Roll Goal mini-game. It's possible, via building momentum, to "jump" the ball across gaps and reach the goal in spite of skipping large portions of the maze, but Hena will fail you anyways, pointing out that you didn't technically complete the whole maze. In the The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, certain outfits will make some specific Drablands Challenges MUCH easier to deal with. For "Don't Drop the Pot" challenges, using the Serpent's Toga lets you No-Sell enemy attacks as long as you're standing still. For "Don't Fall at All", the Tingle Outfit saves you from falling 3 times before it counts against you. Note that these still don't make the levels "easy", so much as "easier than they normally would be". The Hero's Trial in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords is the most notorious and challenging part of the game to complete. However, in 2-2, there is an unintentional skip that eases a portion of the burden. Near the start of the level is a misplaced tunnel that can be blown open with bombs. There are bushes nearby, and if you're lucky, cutting one down will spawn bombs. With careful positioning, you can blow up the tunnel and clip onto an upper platform that leads straight to the end of the level. Even better, the chests there contain hearts that can heal any damage sustained at the start of the level. Handy, given a big boss fight is just around the corner.note This blog explains how to do the trick in full. Hyrule Warriors: The "Guard the allied keeps with your life!" missions become incredibly easy in Legends and Definitive Edition if you give your fairy the Repair Technician skill and use it in an otherwise problematic keep, allowing you to mop up the enemies you need to kill as the mooks fail to take down the fortified keep. The "All Attacks are Devastating!" missions are often seen as extremely difficult until one realizes that the bow is just as devastating. Simply target an officer, let fly, and move on. Likewise, in the "All Attacks are Devestating!" missions and the "X Rule: Don't Get Hit!" missions, you can use a weapon with the Regen skill, which slowly regenerates your health. Because of your Last Chance Hit Point, even one heart per second of regen is invaluable. It's even more useful in "Definitive Edition" thanks to the Damage Taken score recalculation. And speaking of Regen, it works all the time, even in "No Healing" missions. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Yiga Clan members in their base giving you hell with their One-Hit Kill attacks, not to mention that you're completely potato at stealth? There are three tricks to this: you can A. toss a banana in a Blademaster patrol's path and scoot off as they scoot off to devour the fruit, or B. craft some Ancient Arrows after activating the Akkala Tech Lab, draw aggro on a patrol, then insta-kill the Blademasters before they can do so to you. There's also a way to get on the rafters, which makes things easy as all you need to do is throw some well placed bananas below at a guard or two and glide to safety.

Easy Level Trick / int_755b343f	comment	Halo : Halo: Reach: The mass driver section from "The Pillar of Autumn". The Covenant will begin maneuvering once you get close enough to the mass driver, regardless of whether or not you are in it. Your objective also only mandates that you kill the cruiser. So, use the mass driver for cover until the cruiser is in position. Then hop inside it and take out the cruiser with one shot, rather than subjecting yourself to the storm of Covenant aircraft. Even better, you can use well-timed concussion rifle blasts to get yourself into the driver at the very start of the section, allowing you to shoot down most of the enemies before they even land. In the same game, Nightfall can be skipped by simply running past most of the enemies, since there's only one Broken Bridge in the whole level- and that itself can be easily bypassed using the forklift glitch skip trick that enables the player to leap through a gate blocking their path. One can easily dispose of the large Tyrant-class AA Turrets by ignoring the Blatant Lies of what Carter says about them being invulnerable on the outside. If you target the rear of where the main barrel is facing with concentrated heavy weapons fire via the Rocket Hog turret, Scorpion Tank and so forth from a comfortable distance, you can destroy them far easier than following what Carter says to do instead. Halo 4: At the start of the mission "Composer", you can easily bypass a major Event Flag that usually stacks the odds heavily against you when trying to activate the hangar shield console by jumping on top of the second-most pillar-like object on the roof of the small shelter to the right of where you enter the hangar, use it to jump to the left of the other side where you can see a way to easily bypass the normal way to go in order to bypass the aforementioned trigger, rush to the console to the north-west and be sure to have the Sticky Detonator to eliminate the pesky Phantom gunner that is encountered when rushing to the console. Doing this will make this part much less frustrating.

Simply run ahead until you reach the safe area where the amoebas cannot reach you, and wait there for Miller to show up. He's tough and has a great weapon, so he'll most likely survive. With the hard part out of the way, all that remains is to use the crane, and then you've won.

However, a well-placed shot can create a slope that you can climb to reach the catapult.

Easy Level Trick / int_806c20e5	comment	Demon's Souls: Most levels have a shortcut you can unlock towards the end that lets you skip most of it on your second try, should you die to the boss. In the second level of Stonefang Mine, however, the shortcut is available from the very start, and many players are liable to stumble into it purely by accident. But it also involves a series of tricky drops that mean instant death if you miss; die once or twice this way and you might be discouraged enough to try the other path instead, and discover that this is where the entire level was hiding. The shortcuts in the first area of the Shrine of Storms, meanwhile, are also available from the start, but harder to find. One is through a doorway disguised as a bricked-up doorway, and is less of a shortcut than a side path (though it does let you avoid drawing aggro from the Vanguard). The second is likely unintended and requires a precise trick roll, but it skips most of the level. While most of this game's bosses are already comparatively easy or require a trick to beat and are essentially puzzles more than fights, one of the handful of serious fights is against the Penetrator, who's just a big guy in armor with a huge spear. Or you can backtrack once you've found a particular key and use it to free the knight Biorr from his prison, and when you enter the fog door to the Penetrator's boss room, Biorr will be there waiting for you and will utterly trivialize the fight. The biggest challenge is the risk of accidentally hitting Biorr hard enough to piss him off and permanently turn him against you. The Thief's Ring—which reduces the range at which enemies can be aware of your position—makes a ton of things in the game considerably easier, but special mention goes to the fight against the Old Hero. He's already blind, but he's reasonably competent at tracking you by sound. With the Thief's Ring on, however, he'll spend the whole fight having no idea where you are and can only take random swings at the ground around him.

Easy Level Trick / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros. In several of the underground stages of the original Super Mario Bros, if you're Super Mario or Super Luigi you can just break through the ceiling the first chance you get and skip large chunks of the stage that way. If you never drop back down and go past the exit pipe, you're rewarded with a warp pipe that lets you skip to the next world (or even a few worlds). Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels pulls a Meta Twist by having these warp pipes that send you back to previous worlds instead. Super Mario Bros. 2 has 4-3. If you're using the Princess or Luigi, then once you've made it across the large chasm at the beginning (not a difficult feat), you can pretty much skip the entire rest of the level with a properly-timed jump. Super Mario Bros. 3: You can use the P-Wing to fly over any level with minimal risk. If the level starts with a wall and a door or pipe you have to go through, make that zero risk, as you can fly over the obstruction and completely avoid anything "inside". You can skip the entire naval stage in World 8 by simply swimming under the ships. World 3-2 is a series of platforms and lifts suspended above Cheep Cheep-filled water, which will periodically leap out at you on the platforms. As Chuggaaconroy discovered on The Runaway Guys, though, the Frog Suit will let you leap across the water's surface faster than the Cheep Cheeps can keep up, and if your timing is good you skip every platform in the stage. Getting a blue Yoshi in Super Mario World can let you skip any level, other than fortresses, castles, ghost houses, underwater levels, and levels without a koopa shell of any kind. Getting the feather for the flying cape can also let you fly right over many early levels and even some of the Brutal Bonus Levels. Super Mario 64 and the DS remake has a lot of these, both the intentional and unintentional kind. For the intentional kind, the first Chain Chomp mission in Bob-omb Battlefield can be beaten by ground pounding the post three times and avoiding its attacks... or you could just run straight through the fence behind it with Luigi's vanish cap ability. Or just smash the post in one hit as an invincible Mega Mario/whoever equivalent. For every other mission in the game, the 'easy trick' was simply to use Luigi and backflip, since it basically let you glide gently down to just about anywhere from a high enough starting point. Super Mario 3D Land has World 7-1. The Goal Pole is up on a cliff right in front of you, and you must dive into the water below it to swim through a cave network to reach the top of it... Or with a Tanooki Suit (or even some skillful regular jumping), you can just scrape over the top of the cliff from the start point and finish the course in under 10 seconds. Super Mario 3D World has platforms and doors that move by tapping them on the game pad's touchscreen. Turns out you can tap other things as well to make a level or part easier. Flipswitch puzzles not your cup of tea? Just tap the switches instead of hopping around on them! Tired of chasing bunnies around? Tap them to make them stop! Fire Piranha Plant bothering you? Tap a fireball to reflect it back! Etcetera, etcetera. Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2 only allows a player to upload a level if they can complete it themselves, to prevent players from uploading impossible levels. However, a very easy workaround for this restriction is to use invisible blocks and doors and/or pipes to create a hidden path to the exit that only the level creator could expect to know about, dubbed a "dev exit", while the rest of the stage is either obscenely difficult to complete or outright impossible. This is such a well-known exploit that most players know to check the beginning of the stage for such exits, and some developers even add trick dev exits to levels just to troll people looking for them. Super Mario Odyssey has quite a few: The notoriously difficult volleyball mini game. In normal gameplay, it can be a bit of a pain given how far the ball flies after every hit and how you need 100 points for an extra Power Moon. However, if you use Cappy on his own when playing via co-op mode (and leave Mario off the side of the court), then it becomes an absolute cinch, since Cappy is about twice as fast as Mario and can easily reach the ball at any point in the game. Another infamous mini game is the jump rope in New Donk City, which also requires a full 100 jumps to get the moon. This is normally exceedingly difficult, not only due to its unforgiving nature, but because it is very easy to throw off the rhythm by accidentally entering into a double jump. The solution? Do it on a moped, which has the exact same jump no matter how hard you tap the button. The hardest part is lining it up in a good position to start the game, but once you do, it's a cakewalk. There's also one in every Koopa race in the game. Whether it's an alternate route, a handy enemy to Capture or obvious shortcuts the Koopas don't take, there's always a sure fire way to win by a country mile. This is especially obvious in the Snow Kingdom, where despite the Koopas racing round a somewhat lengthy track with various obstacles, the simplest path is merely to jump off a cliff, then bolt across the freezing water at full speed towards the goal beacon, taking advantage of the handy tornado placed right below the cliff with the finish line. One glitch allows you to abuse the physics of Mario's frog capture to bypass the entire final Brutal Bonus Level, though this glitch was fixed in an update. It's still possible, however, to bypass a large chunk of the stage, including the most difficult section, with some skilful Glydon flying. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: The World 6 Extra Level is an unforgiving gauntlet of insta-death thorns and moving platforms that leave the player nowhere safe to stand still and catch their thoughts. You'd better have ultra fast reflexes... or you can just stock up on a few Green Watermelons from the bonus games and blast your way through. In Yoshi's Story you have to get thirty fruits to win a level, most levels have only 60 fruits in them. However, some enemies (usually Shy Guys) will turn into Lucky Fruits if you ground pound near them while you are Super Happy from eating 6 of the same fruit in a row. Level 6-3 "Ghost Castle" is normally one of the hardest levels in the game, it features lots of Boo enemies that chase you and lots of Bottomless Pits. However, the room right after the second Miss Warp which is in the second area of the level has a bunch of Mini Boos that turn into Lucky Fruits when you are Super Happy, and there is even a hidden Super Happy Fruit in the level you can get by ground pounding on a very obvious spot! If you turn Super Happy in this room by eating six Lucky Fruits or by using the hidden Super Happy Fruit you can get all 30 fruits in one ground pound! Plus since you just ate 30 of the same fruit in a row and it was the Lucky Fruit worth lots of points, your score will be good too! Yoshi's Island DS: The ending of World 3-7 has you outrunning a platform-destroying ball with a lot of timed jumps to avoid falling in the lava below or getting stuck (and thus killed) against the other platforms. The natural choice is to bring Baby Mario for his running ability, especially given the setpiece's similarity to World 1-3. However, it's far easier to do with Baby Peach. Her Parasol Parachute makes the precision jumps much easier, and while the ball will get extremely close it can't catch you as long as you keep moving. It also reduces the player's feeling of being rushed, which also helps with the jumping.

Easy Level Trick / int_87b652bb	comment	Starcraft II A level involves using a small Protoss base, potentially two, to push through a horde of Zerg enemies and bring Zeratul to 4 heavily defended spots. However, it is possible to beat the mission in less than 5 minutes, as Zeratul can Flash Step across chasms, and is fairly durable in addition to being permanently invisible and able to stun the few units capable of revealing him. It helps that Zeratul is healed to full health upon reaching an objective. The mission in Meinhoff, which is a tense Hold the Line-style mission against massive waves of slow-moving but numerous infested terrans. Ordinarily, part of the difficulty is that your forces are woefully poorly developed; usually you can only field infantry and light vehicles. However, it's possible to hold off doing the mission until you have Siege Tanks, whose artillery cannon will cheerfully chew up the entire attacking army, bit by bit, or mass Reapers, who do horrible things to both units like zombies and the structures they spawn from. Alternately, since the attackers have no detectors, a group of Ghosts or Spectres (with the permanent cloak upgrade) can easily hold off enemy attacks. What detectors there are on the map are few, allowing stealth units mow down buildings even at night without fear of reprisal. "The Dig" is a Hold the Line mission where you have to protect a laser drill until it tears down the Xel'Naga temple's gates from two heavily defended Tal'darim bases. These Tal'darim bases launch increasingly stronger attacks, eventually sending several late-tech units while your only heavy-damage unit by then tends to be the Siege Tank (which has only just been introduced), requiring using the drill to take out the strongest units (while making the mission last longer). This mission gets almost entirely trivialized by Sequence Breaking and waiting until you can field Ghosts or Spectres with the permanent cloak upgrade. The Tal'darim never bring Detectors in their attack waves, so a row of these cloaked units easily walls off (and kills) everything they can bring bar Colossi or air units, which can be handled by Missile Turrets, Marines and Marauders without much issue. Similarly, rather than using Missile Turrets and the drill for anti-air, doing the mission after Haven and/or Belshir will give access to Vikings and Goliaths which will easily chew through enemy air forces. The bonus objective in "The Crucible" requires navigating around two hostile forces of Zerg to attack a powerful primal Zerg unit known as a Tyrannozor. Official strategies advise taking over a dozen Mutalisks and simply rushing past the forces. Alternately, you can just make a bunch of Zerglings early on, send them down there, and morph them into Banelings before the Tyrannozor spawns. Or, if you've done the Kaldir missions, Roaches (especially Vile Roaches) with tunneling claws can get past the hostile Zerg without being seen and kill the Tyrannozor with minimal micromanagement. Downplayed in that it's not possible to do for all of them, but most of the Hybrid Dominators in "Hand of Darkness" can be easily killed by simply sending a couple of Zerglings/Mutalisks to lure them towards a nearby Dominion base (since the Dominion and the hybrids are hostile to each other), and having the Dominion take care of them. Even if the hybrid wins, it will usually be damaged enough to finish off easily.

There are a number of stages which are easily beaten with the Cyclone Helmet, which allows the player to fly through the air; the flag on some of the stages is almost directly over the starting point, allowing the player to simply fly upwards and complete the stage in a matter of seconds.

If part of the object is placed over a gate, it will jam the gate open if it's trying to close. There are several levels where the level can be made much simpler by quickly grabbing a temporary object as the level starts and making sure a gate stays open, or making a switch that controls multiple gates have one particular gate stay open. This might have been intentional - a much later level requires the player to do the same thing to another door controlled by a lever.

Easy Level Trick / int_90f94684	comment	Fire Emblem Engage has a couple of examples, one usable throughout the game, one strategy specific to a map. The overall strategy for most maps: boss enemies typically don't turn aggressive until you've stepped into the range, forcing you to fight through the enemy army to reach them. Too bad for the enemy, many of them don't plan around the player having free access to teleportation staves: Warp to send an ally to a faraway spaces, and Rewarp to send the user instead, and Emblem Micaiah's passive Engage Skill expands the target range of both. Judicious use of these can catapult the heavy hitters of your army all the way to the boss' position as soon as the first turn or two, turning what should be a protracted campaign into a quick victory. The map-specific strategy: In DLC Chapter 5, the main protagonist Alear is kidnapped and helpless, and Nel is trapped in a room with the boss. Nel being specific to the DLC means she can't inherit any Skills to turn the tide, the boss has a respawning healer to keep him alive, and busting into the boss chamber in any way but the intended one (going all the way around the map and through every enemy) will cause an ambush of very dangerous sub-bosses as well as an extra sniper aiming at Alear... but the map has no answer for Nel being able to beat the boss by herself. It turns out this is possible just by giving her Emblem Tiki, making clever use of Nel's stack of Elixirs and Tiki's Area of Effect weapon to hit both the healer and the boss, making sure it kills the healer the same turn she Engages; you have just enough time to deplete a health bar before the healer respawns. Nel can completely solo the boss with the strategy on Lunatic, though she needs help from a Physic healer on Maddening.

Easy Level Trick / int_92dd35df	comment	Command & Conquer: Red Alert: Soviet mission 3, where you normally need to chase an enemy spy all across the map before finally cornering and killing him. The secret is that your attack dog units run faster when an enemy is targeted — so fast, in fact, that they can catch the spy within seconds of the mission starting. (Of course, the victory cutscene still shows the spy dying to a firing squad.) Alternatively you can use the long-range grenade glitch to destroy the structure the spy is hiding in without triggering the scripted event of the spy fleeing to the next part of the map. This causes the spy to enter the map from the east, with your soldiers right in his path. Soviet mission 5 requires you to destroy an Allied base sans a Radar structure, which you have to capture, and then destroy all Allied units and buildings remaining. Problem is there is a huge island full of resources and the Allies will ship off an MCV onto that if the player builds a submarine production structure or closes in with tanks. Once the island is fortified, the Soviets have almost no way to destroy the sprawling base except with heavy losses when landing. OR they build an airfield to paradrop some infantry on the island, wait for the MCV to land and abuse Scratch Damage from the 5 soldiers with assault rifles to destroy the MCV before it can unpack and become a problem. Cleaning up after that is very easy. The last Soviet mission has another one, though it's really more a requirement for some. Since the Allies constantly get reinforcements by sea landing at 3 beaches and those units immediately home in on your base (in fact, 2 of the beaches are right next to it), the player constantly has to deal with pesky artillery and other things. Unless the adjacent building mechanic gets abused via building long chains of ore silos to base crawl to the beaches and then build a sea wall out of submarine factories, which works since the Allied transports delivering the units are unarmed. Side effect is that the amount of structures required for it to work also makes submarines take less than a second to produce.

Easy Level Trick / int_999855bb	comment	Heroes of Might and Magic 2 The eighth mission of Archibald's campaign is a very difficult slugfest if you play the mission straight. You start an entire week behind as you need to find a town to develop in the first place, meanwhile your opponent starts with three fully upgraded towns right from the get-go, as well as several heroes with fantastic stats. Oh, and they have their own private island with all the resources they would ever need. However, if you took the time to beat mission 7 first, you gain the ability to get any stack of dragons on the map to join you, which turns this mission into an absolute curbstomp. Instead of capturing the nearby town and building it up, all you need to do is head to the north section of the map as fast as possible, grabbing any stacks of dragons on the way, then proceed to whoop the ass of any enemy heroes/towns you come across. If you do it quickly enough, you can make it to one of the enemy's towns before the one week time limit runs out. The final mission in Roland's campaign can very much be That One Level if you play the mission straight, even moreso if you got the ultimate crown instead of reinforcements. If you chose to get reinforcements, and have a crapton of Black Dragons in tow, it's possible to take the boat near Roland's starting location immediately and head for Archibald's castle. It will be a tough battle, since normally you're supposed to defeat everyone else on the map and build up your army first, but if you pull it off you can finish this mission in about 3 weeks flat.

Easy Level Trick / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: At the end of Morrowind's Tribunal expansion, you acquire the legendary Flaming Sword of Lord Nerevar, Trueflame. It's easily the best one-handed sword in the game, dealing base damage equivalent to the game's best two-handed swords, while also dealing fire damage. It is every bit the "god slayer" it's intended to be in that expansion, however, it proves even better in the second expansion, Bloodmoon. Taking place on the frigid island Solstheim, it has numerous fire-weak ice-based enemies throughout as well as the annoying Spriggans, who must be killed three times but are devastatingly weak to fire. Trueflame will cut a swath through them all, negating much of the challenge of an otherwise difficult expansion. Oblivion: The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal is the mask of the Gray Fox, Master Thief of the Thieves' Guild. Naturally, you acquire it after completing that questline. With strong enchantments that help a sneaky character and the ability to conceal your true identity while committing crimes to avoid getting a bounty, it's quite useful but obviously comes too late to help out in the Thieves Guild questline itself. However, it is immensely useful through the Dark Brotherhood questline if you wait to start it until after acquiring the Cowl. In addition to its ever useful boost to your Sneak skill, it also allows you to Detect Life while worn. For a number of Dark Brotherhood quests where committing the murder undetected gives you a bonus, being able to "detect" where other NPCs are makes it trivially easy. Of particular note is the quest where you have to sneak through the sewers to kill a target in the Imperial City Prison. Due to the events of the game's opening, the already dark and maze-like sewers are now patrolled by guards who must be avoided to earn the bonus. The Cowl will allow you to see where the guards are and, if you watch for a bit, you can pick up on their patterns to easily avoid them. For both the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines (and really anywhere with locked doors and containers), the Skeleton Key, granted by completing Nocturnal's Daedric Quest, provides a massive boon. As an unbreakable lockpick, even a character with a minimal Security skill can spam "Auto Attempt" until even the highest level locks eventually fall. Expect to see players rush to complete the quest as soon as they hit the level 10 requirement.

Easy Level Trick / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: In the original PokÃ©mon Red and Blue, Erika's Gym could be easily defeated by any Grass/Poison type (of which there are plenty, including a starter). The computer would constantly try and inflict poison on your PokÃ©mon, despite their secondary typing rendering them immune. While doing so, they wouldn't actually be attacking, and they would never stop trying because the AI never runs out of PP in those games. Whitney from PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver is well-known as the biggest case of Wake-Up Call Boss in the entire franchise, in large part thanks to her Miltank which is viciously powerful for early game standards. However, if you caught a Drowzee earlier on you can trade it with a female Machop in the Goldenrod Department Store; said Machop can not only render Attract - one of Miltank's most annoying moves - completely harmless, but also resists Rollout and can hit back hard with super-effective STAB damage. Lusamine's Bewear in PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon is a juggernaut with potential to sweep entire teams on its raw power. However, its only attacking moves are Normal and Fighting type, so any Ghost type will No-Sell 100% of its damage. In your second encounter it learns Pain Split, but Pain Split can't kill and only draws out the inevitable defeat. In fact, all of Lusamine's team save Mismagius can be easily shut down by a PokÃ©mon with the right resistances - though given how diverse her team is, one would need a separate PokÃ©mon to deal with each one. In PokÃ©mon Emerald, Brawly's Gym team is completely incapable of damaging Shedinja. Some of the other Gym Leaders only have one Pokemon that can damage it, such as Wattson being helpless after you defeat his Voltorb (which knows Rollout). More significantly, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's Delta Episode ends in an Optional Boss that is also incapable of damaging Shedinja, meaning the only thing preventing you from catching it is whether it struggles itself to death first.

This is because the massive stability penalty for guessing wrong is easily offset by how few times the spirit switches animatronics. From Night 3 onward, there are enough animatronic changes per night that guessing willy-nilly will quickly lead to the player's demise.

The worst offender is the second game, where 6 out of 8 levels can be beaten simply by camping at a good hiding spot where enemies will come to you but cannot hit you, and one of these levels can literally be won by finding shelter and going afk while the enemies fall off the map one by one. The other half of the levels can typically be beaten by finding a loop through the level with plenty of cover and just driving in circles shooting enemies in front of you with a freeze missile and your choice of power-up ordnance.

While minor, it makes getting on them a lot easier and makes many areas, particularly the first floor of the Nuclear Warhead Storage Building, where weapons are disabled and being spotted results in an unavoidable game over (they lock the doors and flood the place with gas), much easier and less stressful. During the second and final fight against Sniper Wolf, you can just run to the far right side, safe in the covered nook there, simply equip the Nikita launcher and guide its missiles to the boss, beating her with hilarious ease. For some reason, Vulcan Raven has issues aiming downwards in The Twin Snakes. Meaning you can lie down, equip the PSG-1, and pick him off without him realizing he's shooting above Snake. Also in The Twin Snakes, the lasers in the gas corridor of the Tank Hangar can be shot out if you grabbed the thermal goggles or know where to shoot. The backtracking mission with the PAL key can be made much easier in TTS if you have good reflexes, as you can reach a hidden steam and liquid nitrogen pipe on a ledge in Rex's hangar rather than having to backtrack all the way to the Blast Furnace and the Warehouse.

Easy Level Trick / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy More a minigame than a level, but still required to progress in the story. In Final Fantasy VII, at one point you need to use a dolphin to launch Cloud up to a rafter. You could spend ages positioning and repositioning the dolphin in order to eventually find the perfect spot to launch Cloud, or you could just launch Cloud right away without pressing any buttons. You'll miss, but launch again from where Cloud lands and you'll land on the rafter. When youâ€™re forced to do the Fort Condor battle while Cloud is out of commission, itâ€™s far easier to just let the enemies advance to the hut and beat the piss-easy boss than to do it legit. Final Fantasy X: Evrae is universally considered a That One Boss due to powerful attacks, notably poison breath that inflicts, you guessed it, party-wide poison, an ability to turn your party members to stone, and all of that was exarcebated by the absence of your white mage during this battle. There are however Al Bhed Potions that heal everyone in active party for 1000HP and cure Poison, Silence and Petrify. However, they can be used only with 'Use' command (not 'Item', which is for traditional Potions and similar items), but in the level just before you could find a Special Sphere that allows to activate a special ability (which 'Use' is) by any party member as long as it was activated by someone else. Rikku has 'Use' by default, so you can activate it for someone else, and with having more members using Al Bhed Potion, the battle becomes significantly easier. Blitzball is mainly a minigame, but there is one match that is mandatory and it can be difficult. However, if you can get to one point over the other team, you're good - if you travel back to your own goal and swim around in circles, the AI gets confused and won't go after you, and you can just run down the clock until you win.

Easy Level Trick / int_ab2a760	comment	In Five Nights at Freddy's, looking at an animatronic with your camera will delay its next movement a bit. From night 3 onward, when Freddy starts to become active, you can prevent him from getting anywhere close to your office simply by constantly raising and lowering the Show Stage camera all night. Doing so will not only hold Freddy in place for most of the night, but it also helps prevent Foxy from making a run at you. You'll still need to keep an eye on your doors for Bonnie and Chica, but seeing how Freddy is more dangerous than either of them, it makes the latter half of the game significantly easier. While this won't work as well in 4/20 Mode, you can prevent Freddy from attacking you by focusing on Cam 1B (which is where he jumpscares you from), locking him in place and preventing him from getting to you. Nights 1 and 2 can be completely negated simply by closing the left door and doing absolutely nothing else. The only two enemies who can attack you from the right door are Freddy and Chica. The former doesn't move on those nights, and the latter can only kill you if you raise your camera. The camera-freeze trick is absolutely essential to Ultimate Custom Night's 50/20 Mode, taking it down from 'completely impossible' to just 'monstrously difficult and heavily RNG-dependent'. You use it to stall the prize corner animatronics, as well as anyone else who might attack from that hall (the other hallway animatronics can be countered by sound cues or pattern recognition, and as for other animatronics that need camera attention... deathcoin one and hope the others play nice).

You have to get 20 (later, 40, 60 and 80) lemmings down from a height with only diggers; the canonical solution is to click on every lemming, and try again if you miss even one. The shortcut is to turn the release rate to about 30 and make one lemming dig a single pixel after the previous one, releasing him and making a step that the lemmings can walk down. The single-pixel requirement is tough, but you can keep trying with the next pair of lemmings without having to restart, so it's still much, much easier than the normal solution.

Easy Level Trick / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: Act 3 of Scrap Brain Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog is generally considered by players to be by far the hardest level in the game. That is, unless you use the shortcut at the beginning, upon which it becomes easily beatable in under a minute. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Tails can skip most of Sky Sanctuary Zone (including two of the three bosses) by flying. He can also make his solo boss fight much easier in Marble Garden zone by getting as many hits in on Robotnik as you can before he collapses the stage with his drill, since the damage you inflict here carries over into the boss fight proper. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) In Sonic's game, there's a logic puzzle where you must speak to a bunch of guards and use their clues to figure out which of them is actually the Captain. Or, you can be lazy and just keep talking to the first guard â€” the one who gives you the puzzle in the first place â€” because he is the Captain. In Silver's game, Dusty Desert has a puzzle where you must navigate a giant billiard ball around corners and obstacles, into a pocket at the end of a long corridor. You have limited time, and a limited number of times you can manipulate the ball, before the puzzle resets and you have to start over. Or, you can glitch through a door by using Silver's telekinesis on a crate, and skip the puzzle entirely. For Rouge's segment in End of the World, you can skip the entire level by climbing and flying from pillar to pillar to the end. Sonic Adventure The final section of Sonic's Lost World can be defeated by spin dash jumping after the first wall tile puzzle (it will leave you standing at the switch to trigger the ring chain to light dash to the end). Large swaths of Ice Cap with Sonic can be cut out by using some creative jumping (the first area can be passed by dash jumping on top of the archway leading into the first cave up to the rocket and with some very precise jumping, you can reach the switch to activate the thin bridge in the second area). Sonic Adventure 2 had two of these, both relating to Knuckles and Rouge's "find the items" stages. In the original Sega Dreamcast version, performing a Spiral Upper as Knuckles or Screw Kick as Rouge would "suck in" all objects within a certain radius of the character - including Master Emerald shards, keys and Chaos Emeralds, even if they weren't accessible. This saved a lot of time on stages that had shards etc. inside containers that couldn't be broken open normally, especially in Security Hall - normally you would have to find out which floor the safe is on that you want to open, go up to where the switches are and press the correct colour-coded switch, then go back down and dig in the middle of the safe to open it. With this trick, however, just stand in front of the safe where the Emerald is and Screw Kick to instantly get it. This glitch was fixed in the Nintendo GameCube and HD remake versions of the game. "Hard Mode" of Knuckles and Rouge's stages, while featuring more enemies and obstacles, always had the items in the same places every time. As such, once a player knew where the items were, it just became a matter of getting to them and grabbing them as fast as possible; in effect, the "Hard Mode" stages were easier than the normal stages.

Easy Level Trick / int_ba666650	comment	Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater The fight with the Shagohod tank can be resolved fairly quickly by shooting out the treads so it can't move at all. The game, of course, doesn't tell you this. A lot of areas, as well as the battle with The Pain, can be made much easier by answering "I like MGS3" at the beginning of the game which gives you the brown face paint that gives you unlimited oxygen (not that the game bothers to tell you this). Most enemies can't see you underwater, no enemies can follow you into the water (save for crocodiles, but they're rare), and The Pain is completely unable to harm you when you're submerged, giving you a handy safe space in a lot of areas. The Fear can be taken out in seconds if you think ahead and bring some Poison Dart Frogs to the battle. Let him drain his stamina attacking, throw them to the middle of the room, let him eat them, finish him off with your tranquilizer gun. This takes about a minute tops. If you know where to look to get the SVD sniper rifle at the first opportunity, you can use it to shoot The End in the face after the first cutscene that features him, which saves you an ungodly amount of time later on if you're not especially good with the sniper rifle. The Ocelot unit that takes his place can be gunned down or sneaked past with relative ease.

However, grab attacks cannot be countered, so abusing your grab makes the fight massively easier. This is especially good for characters like Platinum and Bullet who have dash attacks that end in grabs, making it easy to close the gap. Alternatively, with a bit of luck/grinding, you can find the Grimoire skill that disables your enemy's ability to use Astrals.

You have access to flying transports called Rocs, either building them yourself or finding a free one in the bottom of the map, so you can just load them up, hug the side of the map until you get to the top where Kamos is, and kill him without having to fight anyone else. In The New Atlantis campaign, mission 7, Betrayal at Sikyos, you are tasked with defending your base for a certain amount of time against waves of zerg-rushing myth units spawned by the indestructible titan (which also spawn two weaker ones when the primary is destroyed), whilst at the same time, your ally must defend himself against another enemy's attacks. Whilst you could build up your base defences and hope that your ally survives, you can instead train a few rocks (aerial transport units), load up your workers and mission-critical heroes, and fly off to your ally. Once there, you will be out of reach of the titan and as an added bonus, the enemy attacking your ally is also allied with you, and the way to your ally's base is through a narrow mountain pass that can conveniently be walled off. After that, you just wait for the timer to finish.

But to win you just need to destroy their capitols. If you make two 3 Titan bombers and spend civilization points on upgrading their speed and hit points, you can win in less than 10 minutes. A later mission has you be betrayed by your robotic overlord and switch with the enemy base. If you destroyed all your buildings, they'll get a rebuilt one, but if you severely damage them instead... Most pre-WWI (the point where melee units are no longer available) missions are this thanks to Artificial Stupidity: the AI will chase the first unit it gets shot by, so it's possible to drag entire armies after a single archer while they completely ignore the rest of your army shredding them to bits until the archer dies.

Easy Level Trick / int_c2463c55	comment	Final Fantasy X: Evrae is universally considered a That One Boss due to powerful attacks, notably poison breath that inflicts, you guessed it, party-wide poison, an ability to turn your party members to stone, and all of that was exarcebated by the absence of your white mage during this battle. There are however Al Bhed Potions that heal everyone in active party for 1000HP and cure Poison, Silence and Petrify. However, they can be used only with 'Use' command (not 'Item', which is for traditional Potions and similar items), but in the level just before you could find a Special Sphere that allows to activate a special ability (which 'Use' is) by any party member as long as it was activated by someone else. Rikku has 'Use' by default, so you can activate it for someone else, and with having more members using Al Bhed Potion, the battle becomes significantly easier. Blitzball is mainly a minigame, but there is one match that is mandatory and it can be difficult. However, if you can get to one point over the other team, you're good - if you travel back to your own goal and swim around in circles, the AI gets confused and won't go after you, and you can just run down the clock until you win.

Easy Level Trick / int_c35ec21c	comment	Super Mario Odyssey has quite a few: The notoriously difficult volleyball mini game. In normal gameplay, it can be a bit of a pain given how far the ball flies after every hit and how you need 100 points for an extra Power Moon. However, if you use Cappy on his own when playing via co-op mode (and leave Mario off the side of the court), then it becomes an absolute cinch, since Cappy is about twice as fast as Mario and can easily reach the ball at any point in the game. Another infamous mini game is the jump rope in New Donk City, which also requires a full 100 jumps to get the moon. This is normally exceedingly difficult, not only due to its unforgiving nature, but because it is very easy to throw off the rhythm by accidentally entering into a double jump. The solution? Do it on a moped, which has the exact same jump no matter how hard you tap the button. The hardest part is lining it up in a good position to start the game, but once you do, it's a cakewalk. There's also one in every Koopa race in the game. Whether it's an alternate route, a handy enemy to Capture or obvious shortcuts the Koopas don't take, there's always a sure fire way to win by a country mile. This is especially obvious in the Snow Kingdom, where despite the Koopas racing round a somewhat lengthy track with various obstacles, the simplest path is merely to jump off a cliff, then bolt across the freezing water at full speed towards the goal beacon, taking advantage of the handy tornado placed right below the cliff with the finish line. One glitch allows you to abuse the physics of Mario's frog capture to bypass the entire final Brutal Bonus Level, though this glitch was fixed in an update. It's still possible, however, to bypass a large chunk of the stage, including the most difficult section, with some skilful Glydon flying.

The game actually acknowledges this possibility. Most of the NSF Generator mission can be skipped if, when coming to New York for the first time, you take a crate of dynamite from the subway station, walk it over to the locked warehouse by the 'Ton Hotel and blow the front door open. When you first arrive in Hong Kong, instead of looking for Gordon Quick, you can walk over to Tonnochi Road, use LAM-jumping to get to a high-up walkway, kill Maggie Chen with a GEP rocket from outside her window (resolving an entire quest chain), break into the MJ12 facility from the top floor, take the Dragon's Tooth Sword and return it to Max Chen at the Lucky Money to finish the entire questline in the area.

Easy Level Trick / int_c8c98633	comment	Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: In an early allied level you had an hour and a half to destroy a giant Soviet mind control device in Chicago. It starts with some jet pack troopers and some assault ships. The jet packers are to destroy two artillery batteries to let the destroyers past. The destroyers are then supposed to clear the ground for a base. But the device could be attacked by the destroyers and skip the base building. In the Allied mission where you have to defend Pearl Harbor, there's a friendly AI controlled base that's scripted to get invaded and destroyed by the Soviets after a couple of minutes have passed. However, if you're quick, you can get one of the amphibious transports over full of combatants to take out the Soviet landing force either before they build a base or right after they deploy their MCV. The second-to-last Soviet level where the enemy has control of half the map and is constantly attacking you, and also hax mind control units. You start off with a few Kirovs, giant blimps with lots of hit points. To win, you only had to destroy the Kremlin, and the top left line of the map had little anti-air defense. If you wish to preserve your base, a second tactic involves sending out your entire starting force to destroy the first enemy base to the east (including the nuclear plants powering most of the enemy's defenses on the map), and using your Kirovs to make the main pass to your base impassible by having them bomb the site indefinitely. Then you can build up your forces at your leisure, as the stakes have been dropped from a continual pounding of three-to-one to two-to-one, who can't even get their forces to reach your base. Yet another trick involved placing Tesla coils on the cliffs directly north of your base early (typically by sacrificing your Kirovs to destroy the enemy ones in place), which pick off most attackers with relative ease. An Allied mission protecting Einstein's lab has three soviet MCVs roll onto the map accompanied by troops. By quickly telling your starting troops to intercept the MCVs at the very start of the mission, it's possible to take out at least two of them, if not all three, right away. One Soviet mission requires you to defeat invading Korean forces. However, if you're fast, you can intercept their MCVs before they even set up a base. The last allied mission: You need to take out 4 elite level apocalypse tanks, 2 AA canons, two tesla coils and 2 sentry guns., while being attacked by huge waves of tanks supported by an Iron Curtain (make vehicles temporary invulnerable) and a nuclear silo. The range of an IFV loaded with Chrono-Legionaries is slightly greater than that of the Apocalypse tanks, and once you get your first shot with those babies, enemies are helpless until rescued or killed, and prism tanks work wonder against stationary defense. So 3 IFV + 3 chrono legionaries + 1 prism tank + 1 chronosphere = easy win. In the Yuri's Revenge expansion, the second Soviet mission can be won in under five minutes. According to the mission briefing, after some Allied chokepoints are fried, you need to set up base and fight your way to Einstein's lab and blow it up. In truth, take the troops you are given as soon as you get control, hug the right, then bottom sides of the map, and head for the bottom left, until you see some roads leading to some hilly areas. Go up those roads, right past three Allied bases, and the only things guarding Einstein's lab are a Mirage Tank and maybe some soldiers. Just cap them in the face and shoot the lab to win in under 3-5 minutes as opposed to the PAR time of an hour and a half. The final Allied mission of the same expansion involves Yuri having access to both Allied and Soviet superweapons, which lets him destroy your Construction Yard in one hit. Rather than having to prevent this or rebuild the Conyard, the Prima strategy guide recommends letting him fire the superweapons and then using a Chrono Legionnaire unit on your own Construction Yard - units that are in the process of being erased from history can't be harmed. The weapons hit, kill the Chrono Legionnaire and the Conyard reverts to existence unharmed. Rinse and repeat until you've taken out the superweapons.

And in that particular battle, the battlefield is particularly big, making it trivial to pick off the enemies one by one before they finish crossing the entire map. The Messiah boss is stuck to a wall, but immune to ranged weapons unless attacked from the front, forcing you to get in melee range... Except, if you push two particular crates into two particular locations, it suddenly becomes completely unable to attack. The final boss is not immune to tranquilizing (which makes an enemy unable to do anything at all for several turns). By the time you fight it, you'll easily have enough items to keep it tranquilized for the entire battle.

Easy Level Trick / int_d6206c4c	comment	In Rome: Total War, the campaign AI will sometimes move the entire garrisoning army of a city save one unit just outside of the city. (It is unknown as to exactly why it does this.) This presents an interesting opportunity should you have a nearby army of your own with some artillery and/or a spy in the city who can open the gates for you. When you assault the city, the enemy's main force will appear as reinforcements on the very edge of the battle map while you are free to position your troops much closer to the city. Simply storm in and capture the town square from the one unit remaining in defense. If you're quick enough, you can capture the city and win the battle by holding the town square without ever engaging in the enemy's larger force. It will still be treated as a loss by that larger force and they'll be forced to back away from your newly won city on the campaign map. This strategy allows massive cities which normally take 30-45 minutes to capture at the cost of many troops to be captured in about five minutes with minimal casualties.

Easy Level Trick / int_d620c56f	comment	The Tomb Raider III level Thames Wharf requires Lara to spend an hour traversing a complex series of underground puzzles in order to get from the roof of one building to the roof of another. Or she can just, y' know, jump across and be done in ten seconds flat. There are many more, if less blatant examples of this in the early Tomb Raider series, due to the compact nature of the levels and a simple but very consistent engine that treats every surface the same. Many a custom level designer can attest to that the tiniest oversight might result in an unintended shortcut.

However, some enemies (usually Shy Guys) will turn into Lucky Fruits if you ground pound near them while you are Super Happy from eating 6 of the same fruit in a row. Level 6-3 "Ghost Castle" is normally one of the hardest levels in the game, it features lots of Boo enemies that chase you and lots of Bottomless Pits. However, the room right after the second Miss Warp which is in the second area of the level has a bunch of Mini Boos that turn into Lucky Fruits when you are Super Happy, and there is even a hidden Super Happy Fruit in the level you can get by ground pounding on a very obvious spot! If you turn Super Happy in this room by eating six Lucky Fruits or by using the hidden Super Happy Fruit you can get all 30 fruits in one ground pound! Plus since you just ate 30 of the same fruit in a row and it was the Lucky Fruit worth lots of points, your score will be good too!

In the developer's commentary, they note that this originally came up in play testing, but since the solution was arguably more difficult to perform than solving the level straight, they christened it the "ninja solution" and left it in.

Easy Level Trick / int_dd518415	comment	Thief: The Dark Project: In the intended way of playing the game, you hide in the shadows, avoiding every contact, and slowly explore. However, since enemies are stupid (particularly zombies) you could often dodge and skip them all by simply... jumping. You will be even faster and the guards will always miss you. Level 9, titled "Return to the Cathedral", requires you to steal a powerful artifact inside a haunted cathedral full of undead creatures and then exit. After you grab it, you will discover that the entrance has been closed and magically sealed. You will have to find another way to escape. Here starts the true level, its longest and hardest part. However, you can cheese the level by putting a skull or a rock that blocks the entrance door. When you return with the artifact, the door will be technically locked (you can click and hear the sound of a locked door), but the skull will have blocked the door from moving, leaving the entrance open. Other tricks exploit a glitch that lets you die passing through walls, thus counting as "exiting" the cathedral, or leaning through the door while shooting fire arrows. Experienced players can complete the level in a minute. The downside is that you won't grab loot, so the next level will start without cash for items and arrows. Note that Thief Gold solved the trick by doubling the mass of the door so that nothing will stop its automatical closure.

The idea is to learn the titular behemoths' place in the Tactical Rockâ€“Paperâ€“Scissors by defeating several splinter-faction ones on your way to assaulting the enemy nexus in the first truly massive battle of the campaign. There are two things that make this considerably easier, though. First, the splinter dreadnoughts are hostile to both the major faction and the enemy takes a while to build up any forces that can take them on, just leave a few alive to act as a buffer and they'll buy you all the time you need to build up. Second, the Substrate nexus is within artillery range of your own HQ area and the Substrate can't repair building HP. A radar upgrade and a line of long-range turrets will result in the Nexus being gradually beaten down with minimal effort.

When you block he tries to attack around your blocks, but when you're on the offensive he just throws out attacks at random, two of which are too slow to connect before your attack hits him. 66% of the time you'll win, and you have unlimited retries, which is worlds easier and less frustrating than doing it the "proper" way. Want to easily kill the cat witches in Sgt. Byrd's mission in Charmed Ridge? Simply have Sgt. Byrd hover in front of the door that the cat witches are flying in from and shoot them. Because Sgt. Byrd's missiles home in on enemies, most of his shots will hit the cats, making this usually difficult challenge substantially easier. Want to easily beat Agent 9's ninja dungeon mission in Fireworks Factory? Just enter the first room, look up at the ceiling, shoot the red switch and his "secret weapon" (a rapid-fire gun) will fall down for you to collect. You'll earn a skill point, and the new weapon is much more useful for killing ninjas.

Easy Level Trick / int_ecd2d797	comment	Baldur's Gate: It is possible to export characters into a file and later load it for new playthroughs, so that you won't have to roll again all the stats. Alternatively, you can directly import a character from a savegame. However, the latter method imports the XP and the items of the character as well. It is quite easy to leave Candlekeep with a level 10 fighter wielding +3 weapons and armours... If you use modifications like Baldur's Gate Tu Tu or Trilogy, which import the whole content of the first game into its sequel and allows a continuous playthrough from Candlekeep to the end of the saga, you will also get the XP cap limit and the weapons of Baldur's Gate II with its expansion pack. You can then go straight to the endgame boss of Baldur's Gate and solo him in a few minutes with a lv40 godlike character wielding nuclear weapons... not talking about all previously powerful monsters, dragons, demons and undeads, now reduced to silly kittens. To a good extent, even the endgame boss of Shadows of Amn becomes terribly easy with a character from the end of Throne of Bhaal. When you end the Prologue, you find yourself in the wilderness with no money and no valuable weapons. Hidden in a tree on the road where you start Chapter 1, you can find a diamond that boosts a lot your cash. It is normally hard to detect and acts as a quasi-easter egg for those obsessive players that click every pixel hoping to find something. The trick comes with the Enhanced Edition, where you can press a button to show if there are crates or other selectable objects in the map, thus allowing everybody to discover quite easily the diamond. Most enemies have spells encoded on items that have limited timers, so by not pausing the game in places like the Temple of Bhaal or the Northern Island, bosses becoming much weaker in time due to their protection spells running out. Alternatively, you can simply walk into a room until a spell dissolves. Sometimes monsters follow you between rooms. Although this might appear to increase the difficulty because you are constantly chased, it actually makes the game easier because you can divide enemy forces and kill them one by one. If Drizzt can be surrounded by NPC party members (it will take a full party of CHARNAME plus the 5 Non Player Characters and can be a bit tricky to accomplish as he wanders hasted) and then Reform until all former members become neutral, his attack will be limited to close-range melee. In that situation, Drizzt can be killed with either a ranged or long-range melee weapon with total safety for the CHARNAME. Only natural 20 rolls will hit him and none of those will register as critical hits since Drizzt is immune to those. A sizable reputation loss will result from his death. It is also possible to play tag with Drizzt around the lake, using the Boots of Speed to evade his strikes. Drizzt's pathfinding in Baldur's Gate is not that great and he can get stuck in the middle of the lake, with the player on the other side. For wizards, using Dimension Door to cross the lake is advised. The player can then pepper him with arrows or ranged spells with impunity until he dies. Algernon is a portly old man on the second floor of Feldepost's Inn in Beregost. He wears what appears to be a Nymph's Cloak but it has nearly unlimited charges of Charm, which requires a very high Save vs. Breath Weapon to resist. The quest involving Algernon's Cloak does not trigger until the player arrives in Baldur's Gate, but the cloak itself is available as early as Chapter 1. Most parties would not know Algernon has the cloak, as typically only an evil-aligned party would murder Algernon and discover it, and thieves would not know some random man in an inn would possess such a powerful item. The cloak can be used to charm almost any character in the game, allowing them to reveal information while under the charmed effect (Baldur's Gate II removes these dialogue strings, preventing players from conversing with charmed/dominated characters) and also allowing one to command them in battle. This even applies to characters far beyond the player's level and abilities, allowing some battles to be won fairly easily so long as the target fails the saving throw. Take a potion that is restricted to mages like Heroism. Put the potion in one of your inventory slots, and put a usable potion - like a healing potion to the next inventory slot. Pause the game. Right click on the healing potion, choose "drink". When on the inventory still paused, switch the places of the two items, and the restricted item WILL be used/consumed. This is possible with other restricted items as well. The Enhanced Edition introduced the Legacy of Bhaal mode, which is supposed to be a Nintendo Hard mode where everything and everyone (except the player's party) is buffed to ridiculous levels. Until you notice that summoned creatures become incredibly tougher too, including yours. And that mind-controlled enemies keep their overpowered stats, making charm spells incredibly broken.

It's rather easy to get "Wimp" stuck in the phone booth if you place several other objects in it beforehand (such as an open umbrella) and keep harassing the TV store owner when they're trying to free him. Should they be in this state and the final task begun in the same play session without resetting the world, they'll remain there, letting the Goose take a wide berth around the lady shopkeeper and trivializing the High Street part of the run. If that's not easy enough, you can bypass the entire final challenge by carrying the bell to the gate that leads to the beginning area and glitching it through the gate by repeatedly dropping and picking it up while wiggling against the gate. Now you're free to cruise unbothered through the entire area, as the townsfolk don't care about you if you don't have the bell, and retrieve it from the other side of the gate mere seconds from your final destination.

With practice, you can use this in the rally races without triggering the '5 second penalty' for heavy contact. The technique falls just outside Game-Breaker territory, as not many turns on the tracks actually have walls, so you'll still need to drive properly most of the time (tough luck for those stuck on the Nurburgring challenges). One event, the Costa di Amalfi, has nearly EVERY turn like this, allowing you to power past your opponent easier, earning the bonus car (with a sale price of 250k credits) in about 10 minutes.

The game expects you to take the long way along the outside edge of the map, through two enemy bases, and head down into the crater from there. Or, you can use a flying building or comsat sweeps to reveal the cliffs around the crater, destroy the enemy turrets there, then use Dropships to ferry units onto the cliff and clear out the defenders with ease since they're mostly anti-air defenses unprepared for ground attacks. The following Terran mission involves getting an SCV to a beacon, the idea being to destroy the base between the two. Or, you could use the Science Vessel you're given to repeatedly cast Defensive Matrix on the SCV as he runs towards the beacon, shrugging off tank and battlecruiser fire alike. Time elapsed: less than a minute. In a Starcraft fanmap, you have to hold off huge, repeated swarms of Zerglings for fifteen minutes. It's a very difficult map... until you realize that the AI ONLY uses Zerglings, so you can simply lift off a building, then read TV Tropes until you win.

It's a standard Dragon Ball Fetch Quest mission, except that rather than dealing with hordes of enemies, this one only has one opponent: Broly, which means it's worth a lot of XP. Additionally, mirroring the plot of Second Coming, the player will quickly get support from Videl, Trunks, Goten, and finally Gohan. Broly will always go after one of these four first, meaning he won't attack the player unless the player makes a nuisance of himself. This means that all one has to do is retrieve the three Dragon Balls as quickly as possible while completely ignoring Broly, which will end the mission and rake in tons of XP, especially thanks to the bonuses earned for not taking damage and completing the mission quickly.

However, these restrictions are applied when Agent 47 chooses his weapons from the peacock, and they are not applied retroactively. Even further, the targets aren't spawned until the weapons are chosen. As such, a player who wants to avoid the restrictions can very easily clear out the area where the targets would be and then return to the peacock to select the weapons. This means only the three targets would be there, making it much easier.

Easy Level Trick / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls: Picking up the right starting gift can make certain early parts of the game easier. The Black Firebombs will allow you to kill the Asylum Demon immediately without picking up your gear and nets you the Demon's Great Hammer. The Master Key opens various doors in the early game, sparing you the need to explore dangerous areas for their respective keys. It also allows you to grab a decent sword for Faith builds and a shield with 100% physical block and good fire resistance very early (though said loot is guarded by an Undead Dragon). The Ceaseless Discharge boss looks very intimidating, being a giant demonic lava monster. Although you don't need to get past him until late in the game, you can fight him very early. Trying to do so legitimately at that point, however, will almost certainly result in you being flattened in a single hit. However, a built-in trick allows any character of any level to defeat him easily. First, grab the robes he's guarding to enrage him, then run all the way back to the fog wall. He'll try to jump over a large chasm to get to you, which leaves him helplessly dangling off the edge of the cliff. Smacking him in the arm a few times with any weapon will make him let go and plummet to his death. However, if you die attempting this, you will have to make it all the way back to where the robes used to be to enrage him again. Otherwise he'll just stay at a distance breathing fire at you. The infamous Anor Londo Archers are intended to be defeated by running up as quickly as possible and dodging the arrows your way so that you can take them out one at a time. Or you can just make sure you have a bow and a bunch of poison arrows. Simply position yourself so that their arrows are deflected by the railings and fire two or three poison arrows at them. Then sit back and wait for them to expire. The Capra Demon can be dispatched without even entering its arena by precisely throwing either Firebombs or Dung Pies over the fog wall and hitting it on the other side. Chaos Witch Quelaag can be a tricky boss especially if you don't have good fire resistant gear. However, she is much easier if you break out of the habit of locking onto enemies. Her real weakpoint is her human upper torso (which can't be locked onto) — aiming arrows or sorceries at her torso will stun-lock her, making her much more manageable. In a similar vein, Artorias can be made less dangerous by manually aiming at his head and firing an arrow at him while he's preparing to buff himself. This knocks him out of it and briefly stuns him, giving you an opportunity to attack (and ensuring he doesn't get his power boost). You can also try staggering him by dealing sufficient melee damage, though this is riskier. Seath the Scaleless can only be harmed after you destroy his Primordial Crystal. However, if you bait him into destroying it himself with one of his own attacks, he spends a few seconds getting mad at himself for falling for your trick. This can be especially helpful if you're trying to cut off the tip of his middle tail for the Moonlight Greatsword. The Iron Golem is generally considered a joke by the community because it has two such strategies. First, if you hit its legs enough in a short amount of time, it'll stagger and fall on its ass. It also just so happens to be the only boss in the game who can reliably fall off its arena (every other boss with an arena you can fall off is coded so that only you can fall off, not the boss unless you get very lucky). All you need to do is have it positioned correctly when the stagger happens and you instantly win. Second, you can summon Black Iron Tarkus, who can easily 1v1 the Golem presuming that it doesn't throw him off the arena. Manus is normally a very challenging boss with high health, punishing physical attack combos, and devastating Abyssal sorceries. However, the entire fight with him can be bypassed if you look carefully at the hole right before the fog gate. Just like with the Bloatheads earlier in the cave, you can see Manus's eyes glowing. If you aim your bow just right, you can simply make Manus into a pincushion. Actually killing him this way will take a good bow and hundreds of arrows, but it's certainly much easier than actually fighting him directly.

Easy Level Trick / int_ff04a417	comment	Grey Goo (2015) has a Beta mission to defend three resource extraction points scattered across the map, which is a tense enough Hold the Line mission as it is with everything spread so thin, with two bonus objectives. One essentially turns the map into a Timed Mission which becomes impossible if you lose even one of the resource points, the other requires you to destroy the enemy base, which you're discouraged from doing due to its awe-inspiring walls of defensive turrets, with all the victory-relevant structures in one cluster in the middle. Except... there's a cliff nearby that puts artillery units just in range of the enemy refineries, and destroying those knocks out power to half the base's defenses, including everything in range of the base itself.
