General Tips
- Spend a lot of time collecting blast shards before anything else. It lets you see a bit more of Second Son's virtual Seattle (which looks fantastic), and allows you to purchase useful powers.
- Don't feel like you need to spend blast shards immediately. Some of the later powers require a lot of them, so it never hurts to save up ahead of time.
- Rely on heavy ammo for boss fights, as it makes them a lot more manageable.
- Only begin District Showdowns when you know you're ready. These are large-scale encounters that require planning and patience. Make sure you've unlocked a few handy abilities before you give it a shot.
- Pick Good or Evil Karma and stick with it, so you can get the appropriate powers over the course of your playthrough.
- Traveling through Seattle can be a pain when enemies are constantly hounding the player. Luckily you can fix that by gaining complete control of a district; at that point you can roam the streets without a care in the world.
Secrets
He Who Dwells Boss Battle
When you face off against "He who dwells," find and hang from a ledge on a platform near him that has a power replenish (do not use it yet, though). Keep firing at your foe (and his summoned angels, if you've reached that point in the battle) while you hang from that ledge. You are able to aim even while dangling, and if you are positioned correctly, none of his attacks will hit you even when he knocks down the columns. Once he is hit enough times, he dissolves and moves to another position, where he appears once more with additional angels at his side. When that occurs, the platform from which you are hanging will sink into the lava. As it does so, grab the power replenish and move to another platform, where you can repeat the cycle. Keep doing this until you win the battle.
