This chapter has some tough encounters in the mines and at the cliff, but paying attention to some key aspects should help you handling these encounters more easily. Cephalo mutations (head mutations) are introduced in the mines, and it is shown how those can be prevented with the help of the Stun Rod. Lastly, an easy, fast, and cheap (the required investment with gold is little to none and expensive weapons like Magnum and Rocket Launcher are not necessary) approach to defeat Popokarimu (the boss of this chapter) is provided.

Here is a little summary of this chapter:
- There are two kinds of Cephalo mutations. The first kind always comes unless mutation prevention methods are used. The second kind is only triggered by headshots.
- Cephalos can be prevented by either shooting in the legs and performing a melee from behind ('Neck Breaker' as Chris and 'Throat Slit' as Sheva), or using the Stun Rod. Shoot the enemies in the legs to stun them, make them flinch, or trip. Then you can use the Stun Rod safely.
- In the second part of the mines, use the pistol and the sniper rifle, and rely on brute force to prevent mutations. Avoid using the shotgun, since it tends to trigger mutations. If you have collected ammo from chapter 2-1, you should keep it for this specific section.
- The H&K P8 handgun is good for this section because of the piercing ability, which allows it to fire bullets that can hit multiple enemies of a large group. The bullet has the potential to pierce through four enemies and hit up to five.
- At the first part of the cliff, pay attention to: Two crossbow Majinis, three Majinis who try to board the machine gun turret (the third apparently can survive a shot from the S75 rifle !!!), a Majini with a crossbow and one with dynamites further away where the ladder is, and two Majinis from behind (Change your AI to 'Attack' mode).
- Thanks to the aforementioned piercing ability of the H&K P8, you can make dynamite Majinis explode by shooting his torso and hitting the dynamite on his back.
- Popokarimu can be easily defeated with the help of an explosion and the Dragunov SVD rifle (the best dps weapon).
