    Use an almost broken knife (not your combat knife) to craft bolts. You get 3 bolts for a knife that maybe has one strike left. Perfect trade off. 😊

    • @7brokenribs

      Makes sense. Leon isn’t using the entire knife to make the bolt but just broken pieces of the knife to make the tip of the bolt.

      You didn't need to clarify that because you can't make bolts out of your combat knife.

    Also you can skip the entire 1st village section by going thru the house near th bonfire jumping out the window on to the roof then when the chainsaw guy comes out just shoot the bell on the church. Then everyone goes to bingo early!
