Infinite health
Go to the Indian Hunter's hut, which you can find on your map. Then, go to the building to the left of the hut, with the stairs going up the side. Go up the first set of stairs, and continue going straight. You should see a spout-type object coming out of the side of the building. Jump onto that spout, and walk toward the wall of the building. If done correctly, you should go through the wall, and into the inside of the house. There is only a small ledge for you to drop onto inside, so move slowly. When inside, look to your left and you should see three whiskey bottles on the ground. You can pick these up as many times as desired and they will never go away.
Easy health
Go to Dodge City, then go to the lower part of the bridge. Follow the path on the other side to reach a beach cave. Look inside for whiskey which will reappear over time after you leave the area. Note: The cave also contains ammunition and money.
Go to Hecht Ranch, then go to the shack next to the windmill. There you will find three whiskey bottles which will reappear over time after you leave the area.
Easy ammunition
Take a barrel of TNT from the Badlands mine. Locate the abandoned house in the Badlands where the buffalo graze. Go to the back of the house on the outside. Face the chimney (looking west) and place the TNT barrel on the left side of the chimney. Blow up the TNT barrel to open a hole in the ground with ammunition for all weapons. The ammunition will reappear over time after you leave the area.
Easy money
You can earn more money on the bounty hunter side missions by capturing bounties alive. When you find a wanted poster that offers more money if you capture them alive and are having trouble doing so, use the following trick. Kill all gang members or bodyguards (if any). If the bounty is on a horse, kill the horse. Get close and melee attack. This will stun the fugitive and present an opportunity to grab them. Then, subdue the fugitive. This will award you more money for each bounty. If you accidentally release him, you can try to melee him and grab him again. However, if you do this too many times or if he has been shot, you may kill him and get less money.
Easy poker game wins
When playing Texas Hold 'em inside the Alhambra, you can easily win with or without a good hand. Raise the bid to the maximum. This should make at least one to three players fold. You can then cheat to make your hand better, and if the cheat card is a worse card, just go back to your original hand. Afterwards, keep checking your hands until one of you wins. It should be you most of the time. Do not worry if you lose, as the tournaments are free.
End of poker cheating
When playing Texas Hold 'em after the tournaments in the Alhambra, you will no longer have the option of cheating.
Easy hunting side-missions
When doing the hunting side missions, on the third animal to hunt (should be a wolf), just go to the Indian salesman. Talk to him (you do not need to buy anything). Exit from the conversation, then immediately crouch. You should get a message stating that the wolf is near. Walk toward the lake and he should be on your right hand side. If not, he is somewhere close.
Faster riding
Hold Dash while repeatedly jumping your horse to travel about double the speed. Additionally, when you mount your horse, before you get all the way on it, press B. This will make your horse sprint without taking off any power.
Desecrate Hoodoo's corpse
After defeating Hoodoo, there will be a intermission sequence showing him dead standing up in a coffin. After the sequence, he will still be in west empire standing in the grave. You can shoot him with your double-barrel shotgun in some areas. You can shoot off his head, arm, and both of his legs, leaving his corpse floating in an up-right coffin. Also, if you throw a stick of dynamite in his coffin, he will be completely blown away.
Completing Magruder's Mine mission
In the first part of the battle, get your bow ready. Every time Magruder is either next to or on top of the holes in the ground with the blue/green gas coming out of the floor, shoot an arrow into it. When it blows up, it will take some health from Magruder. You must do this a few times. To better judge where Magruder is, look on your radar when you are standing by one of the holes on the floor with the blue/green gas. When you see a red arrow by you and it is near the hole in the floor, shoot the arrow. When it explodes, run. If you take some hits from Magruder, run for a flask to replenish your health. You will most likely run out of arrows, but can find more in the back by the big entranceway opposite of the platform and big pillars that you will need to destroy in the second part of the battle. Keep shooting the arrows at the gas in the floor until Magruder's health bar turns red. After that the second part of the battle will begin. To save a lot of your health during the first part, crouch and stay near the outer ring of rocks. If he stands directly in front of you, shoot about one or two arrows at his feet. This will cause him to lose health. If you got hit by his fire, run and find a flask. The second part of the battle is to collapse the cavern on Magruder. Save the game when you get to this part. Do not worry about replenishing your ammunition. Your sniper rifle, regular rifle, and six shooters will suffice. In order to keep one flask and your health to where you do not need to replenish, stay ducked behind the big rocks where you start. Magruder will throw TNT. Use Quick Draw mode and shoot the TNT. Then, pull out one of your rifles. Use the sights on them. The only way to get Magruder to throw TNT is to hit him in the head. However, it is recommended that you stay and shoot at him from the right hand side of the rocks. That gives you more cover than the left hand side. The trick requires some skill at Quick Draw. This is the only way to get past it this part of the battle. Try to hit all the TNT when he throws it. Try hitting the TNT that looks pudgy -- they provide a bigger boom. The small TNT sticks are good, as when they are hit they will spread out. You can blow the two pillars by Magruder's platform up with them. When he says you are blowing this mine apart, you are half way there. When Cole says there is no one left to help you, the battle is close to over. When he throws the three sticks of TNT and you miss and they land by you, run to the opposite side, and then go back to continue. You have two big rocks to blow up to collapse the cavern. The best way to do this is to hit the TNT when it is thrown when they are close to the rocks above Maruder. By doing this you will complete the battle faster. When the second big rock falls, the battle will be over and you will have completed the game.
It is not possible to kill Magruder by shooting him, as he is wearing armored plating. Instead, use the bow with exploding arrows. Get Magruder to chase you. As you are backing away from him, shoot an arrow at a geyser as he walks over it. The flammable gas coming from the geyser will explode and damage Magruder until he is almost dead. Then, when he is on the higher level, shoot him in the face with the rifle until he yells, then get into Quickdraw mode. Get ready to shoot the big package of dynamite when he throws it. After shooting a few sticks of dynamite, the roof will collapse on him.
The easiest and fastest way to complete the first part of the mission is to remain crouched. Magruder is unable to see you, and becomes very vulnerable to sneak attacks. Keep reloading the whisky and fire arrows and you will have the mission completed quickly.
An easy way to defeat Magruder in the second part of the Mine mission is to stand beside each pillar. Stand by the left one and when Magruder throws dynamite at you. He will blow up the pillar. Do the same for the pillar on the right. This also works when blowing up the two remaining boulders. You must shoot Magruder in the head to get him to throw the dynamite.
Defeating Hollister
Sneak up on Hollister and shoot him once. Then, run off and get behind a rock on top of risen ground in the middle of the arena. When he is circling the rock you are behind, start circling as well. He will eventually stop and yell at you to come out. He should pace back and forth slowly while you hide behind the rock. When he stops and is not facing you, shoot him in the head. Perform this until the point that he becomes too smart to fall for it again. By then his health should be low enough so that you can run out and keep shooting while strafing. After you have gotten his health down all the way there will be a intermission sequence. Look at your compass at the bottom of the screen. He is the red dot. Find him and he will run at you. Run, but keep firing at him with your pistols and he will die.
Defeating Reed
Never let Reed out of your sight. If he is by himself and you cannot see him, he will gain health.
