PrinceWatercress plays The Lone Ranger - Part 2 of 12


We've got some outlaws to rustle up if we want to cross the bridge and ride Silver, so let's get to the mountains and get to it!


To buy things at the gunshop, use the Control Pad to move the arrow to what you want to buy and press A to confirm choices. B backs out. Standard bullets are your standard bullets, silver bullets are bullets that do double damage, TNT is a stick of dynamite that can be thrown to hit enemies with an explosion, and "Short Barrelled" is the short barreled gun that you start with at the beginning of the game. The short barreled gun does not have a lot of range, and you'll find guns with longer barrels as you progress. The same controls work at the Doctor's office.

I stock up on 30 cases of standard bullets and 10 cases of silver bullets, as well as one stick of TNT.

The blinking sheriff's badge icon indicates where you need to go to enter the next area. Walk into it, and you'll get there.

In the side-scrolling sections, you can aim your bullets in seven directions (all but down). Because of this, you can aim diagonally at enemies and take them out from a good distance. You can also duck and shoot down to dodge some bullets.

For best results when jumping from platform in the background to the other, make your jump forward right at the edge.

The enemies that throw barrels are best taken down from a distance.

The TNT does not hurt enemies on contact; only the explosion does.

The boss here is a guy who shoots multiple bullets at a time. For bosses, use your silver bullets. Load your gun up with silver bullets, then duck down and shoot at him. Wait for him to stop flashing before shooting him again. Four silver bullets will take him out.

Once you beat the boss, head back to the sheriff of Dodge City and talk to him to get the letter. Thankfully, the map will be clear of enemy encounters now that you've defeated the outlaws' ringleader. From here, head back to the river and talk to the bridge keeper. He will let you cross to the other side, where you will re-unite with Silver and continue to the second area of the game.

When you complete an area, Tonto will give you a password. Be sure to write it down so you can start back where you left off.
