Tips

Running through the knee-deep water significantly slows down your movement speed, making you vulnerable to thrown weapons and flanking.
A single Flash Grenade will instantly kill any exposed Plaga Guadaña enemies in the area.
Stepping into the tripwire mines will instantly alert nearby Ganados and deal heavy damage, but you can disarm them by interacting when crouching near them or detonating them from afar.
