Castle Sun&Moon puzzle Skip
Some of you guys might know that you can skip the sun&moon puzzle at the castle if you throw a grenade behind the gate but I found out that you can just shoot it as well.

I havent heard about being able to actually shoot it instead of wasting a grenade

That's exactly why I made this post. I'm currently doing a handgun run only and realized that this is possible. I love this game! :D

You can get the second one with a grenade and completely skip both of those towers

In the castle, shortly before the armored el gigante attacks you, there are some gates with sun and moon symbols and you hit levers to open one and close another. You can skip two of the towers by hitting switches on the other side of gates when you are not supposed to be able to. The first one you can shoot and the second one you can throw a grenade at. See this:

You can do several tricks in the game, especially to do a speed run, in the first area of the game where they burn the policeman, you can get on the roof and shoot the church bell with a sniper rifle so that the cinematic goes off, in the area of the mines, if you have the rocket launcher and you shoot at the rock you save yourself from doing all that area to take the dynamite, you can also destroy all the castle catapults and the giant stone launcher with the rocket launcher (better the infinity of course).

Does a regular or heavy grenade work for the mines area? What about the wrecking ball wall scene.

You can't use grenades on the dynamite rock.

2-3 normal grenades work for the wrecking ball area.

As far as I know you cannot, hence the grenade strategy. Sorry I didn’t clarify (not being sarcastic)

I haven't tried either of the 2 things but I read somewhere in these forums that a large grenade works, you don't lose anything by trying, I haven't tried the area of the crack near the elevator, since I have an infinite launcher in the next game plus I'll try And I commented, you can also destroy the anti-aircraft gun (where the helicopter is) with the rocket launcher, I love that weapon, it's brutal, it kills all the enemies in the game with a single shot, including the bosses, except the regenerators with spikes that They need at least 3 or 4 to pop them, heh heh heh..:steammocking:
