Beginner Tips and Tricks

Listed below are several Beginner Tips and Tricks which will help you in River City Girls 2.

Use Headphones

It is recommended that you play River City Girls 2 wearing headphones, so you can hear the various different noises that indicate certain things that are happening in the game more clearly. Enemies for example make a distinct sound when they die and knowing that your foe has been killed allows you to switch your focus to another enemy without having to worry about the last one getting back up again.

Leveling Up your Characters

When you start River City Girls 2 you will be given the choice between four characters with two additional choices as the game progresses. You will be able to swap between the different characters at a hideout, and you should level up with the main hero, but a third of the progression. For example if Misako is level 12, the rest of the characters should be at level 3.

Increase your Stats

In order to level up the characters in River City Girls 2 you will need to beat up bad guys so that you gain experience points. Another way is through food items and consumables which will grant that character an increase in their stats the first time they digest them. Potato Snaps for example when they are first eaten will enable a character to recover 25% of their health and also increase attack by one. Thereafter, it will only heal for that amount without bonuses.

Stock Up on Food for Boss Battles

Make sure before a big boss battle you buy one of every consumable in order to get the 25% health recovery it grants. Always take food on the go instead of consuming it in the store when you purchase it.

Explore the Map

Similar to the first game you will discover that a lot of the map will be locked when you start playing River City Girls 2. The map will begin to open up when you finish the mall quest, which ends with a boss fight with Ken. Avoid the exclamation points whenever possible as these indicate quests and continue exploring even when it appears where you are heading is a dead end as there is always the possibility that you will encounter a random NPC that will give you a quick quest that will give a decent experience boost.

Return to a Hidout

When your character dies in River City Girls 2 you will be given one of two choices for continuing. You can restart where you left off but lose money in the process, or you can go back to a hideout. Going back to a hideout, which will unlock past Koyoko's house as the game progresses you will not lose any experience points or money. The only downside to returning to a hideout is that you will lose your place of the map.

Save your Progress

River City Girls 2 has an autosave function that periodically saves the progress of your game. The does have a manual save button but to access it you need to be at a hidout. The 'Save and Quit' option will present itself as an option when you go to the phone settings. It is therefore advised that you return to a hideout to save the game before you end a session.
