No More Heroes 3 hit the Nintendo Switch late in August 2021. Fans have waited for this mainline entry in the series for the better part of 11 years, and it's safe to say that they haven't been disappointed. Although the first two games in the series received public and critical acclaim, they failed to impress financially and turn over a sizeable profit. Grasshopper Manufacture can be proud of the fact that they've done well for the new entry, despite a few hiccups.

However, there could be a few noticeable changes in the gameplay, thanks to the leap in gaming technology over the past decade. Even though No More Heroes 3 is an easy game, here are mistakes that both newbies and longtime fans of the game should avoid.

Throughout the in-game world, Travis can find sushi carts to interact with. There are different kinds of sushi, each offering unique benefits and buffs to the player.

These include a Death Glove cooldown time reduction and increasing the overall damage that Travis does to the opponent.

Eat-in sushi tends to be more expensive though, so players have to use them tactfully. The take-out sushi can be utilized mostly in the midst of battle. The only caveat is that Travis cannot be wearing his armor when he has to eat the take-out sushi. These can be eaten in the middle of a fight to give a short-term boost to damage or replenish lost health.

9 Not Doing Side Quests

When the players get an opportunity to fight a boss, they'll soon realize that boss fights require entry fees. It's a good idea to keep extra cash on the player character, as this cash might be required to buy some sushi and powerups before the fight. The more difficult the boss is, the higher the entry fees. In such situations, players' best bet would be to perform volunteer work as side quests.

To find a side quest. look for a "?" on the map. These signal people all over the world, who will pay Travis cash for completing tasks. Players can repeat this multiple times until they get the required amount. It's a sizeable open-world, so there should be lots of money to earn.

The Death Kick is the first ability that the players get to use. In fact, as the game progresses, players will be able to unlock three other skills that are associated with the Death Glove. However, it is the Death Kick that is the most reliable and should be widely used. If the player understands the mechanics behind the Death Kick, boss fights get significantly easier.

It also gets easier to perform crowd control when the protagonist Travis is up against a horde of enemies. The Death Kick can also interrupt certain enemy attacks. This can be a useful tool right up to the very end.

6 Not Learning Perfect Dodge

No More Heroes 3 has introduced the Perfect Dodge as an alternative to blocking attacks. 'Perfecting' the Perfect Dodge allows Travis to move away from the enemy, thereby creating a space for counterattacks and throws. It also slows down time, to deal the maximum amount of damage.

Players can perform this move by locking onto the enemy. Once the lock is set, they have to press the assigned button when the target circle becomes purple. Each enemy can be countered and dodged in different ways. This is an absolute must for players of No More Heroes 3.

5 Not Crafting Different Chips

The chips required for the Death Glove offer an interesting mechanic for players to take note of. Multiple chips can be crafted in the game, based on the player's requirement. However, these chips work on a trade-off system.

For example, the No.1 Great Chip gives the player a 10% attack boost. However, it also increases the damage that Travis takes by 5%. Players have to choose their trade-offs and customize their playstyle in the Death Glove Chip Supercomputer. These are important, especially during boss fights in the game.

4 Not Learning When To Use The Wrestling Moves

The wrestling moves in No More Heroes 3 may be difficult to perform at first, especially with the timing of the prompt. However, once the player learns when to use these moves, it will deal substantial damage to the opponent.

It will also replenish the battery power. Otherwise, battery power requires the player to take a step back and shake the Beam Katana to refill the battery. This method might take a bit of time to get acquainted with, but in the latter stages of the game, it almost acts like a hack for battery and damage.

3 Not Exploring The Open World

Although the open world for No More Heroes 3 isn't all that expansive or filled to the brim with tasks to accomplish, it does have quality. There are NPCs to talk to, perform Volunteer Missions that guarantee some cash, and even eating different kinds of sushi for certain buffs.

2 Not Farming Money

Money is relatively easy to come by in the game. However, because boss battles require entry fees, and some require expensive sushi for the right buffs, money farming can be slightly complex. The best way, apart from the Mowing Volunteer Job, to farm money in the game would be to complete the Coast Guard missions. Higher levels are more difficult, but they provide better rewards. Players just have to shoot alligators before they reach the coast.

This mission can also be played multiple times for a lot of money. Players can also sell all their junk after Designated Missions to Beef Head. The extra money should be used to eat sushi. Rinse and repeat.

1 Not Crafting the 80 Chip

This final tip is for all the completionists. Since there are options to craft chips and modify Travis' Death Glove, the option to craft the 80 Chip will eventually show up on the Supercomputer. When it does, players should craft and equip this when exploring the open world.

The 80 Chip will help players locate all the collectible items in the world, and it will show them on the map. As the player gets nearer to the collectible such as a scorpion or a kitten, the chip will start to make a noise - indicating how close the player is. This is essential for those players who want to 100% complete the game.
