Alice: Madness Returns

You are given an umbrella for use to defeat a Menacing Ruin. Lock on the Menacing Ruin. One of the Menacing Ruin's attacks is to throw a ball of fire. You may need to move around the Ruin to see this attack move. When it does the move, it will reach behind its back, pull out a ball of fire, and hold it before throwing it at you. When this happens, move back from the Ruin and open the umbrella as it throws the ball of fire at Alice. With the proper timing, the ball will rebound off the umbrella and hit the Ruin, breaking its arms and its ability to defend itself.

The dodge move is directional and can be controlled. Hold Left, Right, Forward, or Away to dodge in that direction while locked on the enemy. This is an important tactic when fighting enemies such as the armored card guards who can only be damaged from behind after they attack you.

Complete the indicated chapter to unlock the corresponding dress.

Successfully complete the game, then select the final chapter, and go directly to the Boss battle. Defeat the Boss without using Hysteria to get the "Level-Headed" achievement.

Upgrade the Pepper Gun in order to kill the babies and Eyepots from a distance. Use the umbrella to block the tea attacks and knock the big enemy's charges back at him. You can now attack, dodge and repeat the process until he has been defeated. This will require some time.

Take out the Eyepots first. Lock on, get close, and when they are about to stomp, teleport backward and shoot them with the Pepper Gun. Teleport back in and slice them up while they are stunned. Repeat the process as needed. The Menacing Ruins can be defeated by knocking their fireballs back at them, then keep attacking at close range with the Vorpal Blade, teleporting in and out and side to side to avoid attacks.

Successfully complete the game. You can now start a second playthrough with your previously upgraded weapons and clothes.

In Chapter 4, just after you do the first chess puzzle, you will get chased into a hole by the giant unbeatable card monster. When you first get down there, go a short distance ahead, and look at the right wall to find a heart stone. Shrink down to learn that it is a fake rock. Run into the keyhole tunnel. On the other side is a floor where you can use a bomb to break it. Do so, then go down the stairs to get a memory and some extra teeth. There is also a skeleton sitting on a chair. It is Raz from Psychonauts. He can be identified by the red goggles, his shape, and the position he is in (which is the stance he uses for a mind attack). With this in mind, it looks like Raz is dead, and there will be no Psychonauts 2.

Collect all the bottles for a chapter to unlock the "Troubling Visions" (concept art) entry for it in the "Extra Content" menu.

Select the "Weapons" option at the menu. A certain amount of teeth are required to upgrade weapons. Select the weapon to be upgraded and an the option to upgrade it will appear if you have enough teeth collected. It is recommended that the Vorpal Blade be upgraded to level 4 before any other weapon. It is your main weapon, and you will use it most frequently. All the other weapons work fine at their lower level for their specific purpose, such as hitting Eyepots, etc.
