No More Heroes Secrets

Bitter Difficulty
Beat the game once on either Sweet or Mild difficulty to unlock Bitter mode. All of your stuff from the first playthrough will carry over, including your various clothes, money, techniques and purchased weapons. Only in Bitter mode will you be able to get your grubby hands on even more cool stuff, such as extra parts for Tsubaki Mk-III and character concept art in the form of the collected Trading Card No.'s.

T-Shirts and Extra Cash
This isn't so much a secret as it is a heads-up of sorts. Located around the city—usually in alleys or parking lots—are dumpsters that can be kicked open. Within most of these dumpsters, Travis will dig up an old shirt that he will immediately don and then add to his growing collection of oh-so-cool tees. Other times you rake in about LB $2,000. You could also press A in dirt areas to unearth money if you are lucky.

True Ending
Once you've attained rank number one, start a new save file with your new data. If you do not have the option to view the True Ending, it is simply because you did not purchase all the weapons available for purchase from Naomi—three in total. Naomi's latest creation, Tsubaki Mk-III, will run you LB $498,000, so get to saving that dough.

When you have all three upgrades, return to the porcelain god to now have the true ending option, which results in you finally closing the chapter on some unfinished business with trench coat-donning Henry. Yes, you will have to fight him and beat him, and he is definitely one tough customer.

First of all, if you thought Jeane attacks with lightning speed, then Henry's speed should be considered supernatural. The most important tip of all: don't get hit. Seriously. Henry's threshold for damage seems to be set incredibly high, so if you cannot outlast or outplay him you are pretty much through. Attack prudently, but most of all stay defensive. If you manage to break through his defense and land a hit, stop your combo short of four hits, or Henry will turn the tables faster than you can blink an eye.

Henry unleashes a series of strikes much like Jeane's in that he ends his multi-hit combo with two charged attacks; unlike Jeane, however, he is susceptible to a physical smackdown (i.e. suplex). Safely dodge his charged attacks and unload a two- or three-hit combo followed by a melee attack if you can manage it. If you're lucky or have gotten the timing perfectly, Henry's guard will let up, allowing you to grapple him. The rest of his attacks can be somewhat easily dodged.

Midway through, however, Henry whips out an instant kill-type attack (and why wouldn't he?). The sign to watch out for: when he crouches low with his Katana extended behind him. Start backing far away and running to the left or right. Roll away once his hands meet to avoid this catastrophe. Prepare to take your time fighting Henry. If you need to take breaks in-between to refresh your concentration, do so! Beat Henry to watch the true ending.
