What do the raise hitpoint chests look like? I keep getting things to upgrade weapons, but not anything to add hit points or reduce damage. I am now going nuts with Steve and mech projectile attacks mostly.
The issue I ran into was that I kept getting killed early. I addressed that with a few Steve upgrades and also some grinding with Monica. I still would like to beef up the defensive side though.
I do find Gamefaqs is good for things that are linear in their approach. I also had luck at times finding videos for specific games.
I am currently at Chapter 2 I believe, Butterfly Forest. Just managed to get past the swamp area.
