Leech Hunter looks fun but so frustrating and filled with lies

[Razorkiller]

I'm tempted to finish this gamemode, which is suppose to be arcade play. But dad dangit, you're telling me I cannot enjoy or finish this gamemode due to the fact that medical supplies are limited and strong weapons are lying behind spammmable enemies that only rely on random chances and luck to beat them.
I want to explore and run at my pace but no, the gamemode just says f you in the face. Man, where's the fun of this? Do I really need to experience trial and error multiple times until luck helps me out?

Leech mode isnt exactly like mercenaries and you need a little bit more of strategy to beat this.

First, the difficulty of this mode depends of which difficulty you beat the game and use the save to load leech mode.

Also you need to know where the weapons are, and this is by trial and error. But when you find it, the locations are fixed and you're cool.

Good luck.

I looked up a guide and apparently there's a strategy to it.
I'm almost through, collecting all leeches now.

It's just definitely not my cup of tea when it comes to hard chore of mowing down enemies and hoping for certain luck. I guess expected better but this is what I have to deal with sadly.
And as you said, this isn't like Mercenaries but I wish it was at least fair for item navigation other than guessing where weapons are or not.

Leech Hunter (and RE0 in general) is pretty much all about planning.

To succeed you need to practice, memorize where things are, fail, die, retry, and figure an optimal path. For instance, you can make things easier if you go early to get the enhanced Handgun in a 2F room.

You also need to figure a smart order for picking the leech charms so you won't get stuck and unable to pick needed supplies due to inventory being filled with leech charms.

As mentioned above, Leech Hunter's difficulty is tied to the story mode difficulty, so if you cleared the main game on Hard, LH will be on Hard mode for that save file.

I'm gonna be honest, I never admired how generally Hunters' attacks are constructed.
Resident Evil HD Remake HAS attacks that instantly kill you. Died couple of times there due to not knowing where they're from or if they're using attack from distance or not cause that is a leap attack.

Here, in Resident Evil 0 HD Remake... they just spam and give you small time to shoot.
Overall other enemies are fine to address with but Hunters in general, yeah you get the idea.

You can kill everything first and go for the charms later. The enemies don't respawn before you pick 80 leeches and when they do it does only on 2 rooms.

Actually 4-5 rooms. I did a count. Even sought a guide too.

somewhat old thread, but imma just nerd out.

leech hunter nerfs and buffs some enemies, plus the downsides (or benefits) of each difficulty are still there

meaning a hard difficulty clear save can be a pain if you're a casual player
