Leon Must Die Forever Tips
- Give yourself more time in each stage by defeating Midas Spinners, which are small gold spiders that hide and roam the map.
- Defeat glowing blue enemies through parries with the Hatchet.
- Defeat glowing red enemies with melee and explosives only.
- Don’t worry about wasting ammo, as enemies drop it in abundance, and it can be found on the floor and in crates.
- Check the map to see where the next glowing door is to advance to the next stage.
- Kill enemies to gain Enhancer Ability points, which can be used with L1+Triangle to obtain 1 of 3 random abilities.
- Weapons can be found in crates randomly across the map.
- Parry wisely, as you cannot sharpen the Hatchet, you instead need to find glowing green hatchet repairs.
All Leon Must Die Forever Levels & Stages
Leon Must Die Forever has 9 levels. Each level has a glowing door that leads to the next one – you can find its location on the in-game map. The ‘Lv.’ number shows how difficult the level is, specifically how much health enemies have. You can jump from level 1 to 9 to 20, but we suggest playing them in order.
To defeat Victor at level 20, you’ll need to collect as many weapons and upgrades as possible. Enemies become tougher with more health and deal more damage in each stage.
