El Gigante/notes


 * If Leon helps the dog that was stuck at the beginning of the game, it will come and help him fight El Gigante by distracting it from attacking him. But in Professinal Mode, the dog is useless.
 * When Leon first passes through El Gigante's enclosure (during the day), there are no trees. But when you return to the enclosure at night, three trees spawn in the enclosure that El Gigante will use during the fight with Leon.
 * It also appears as if El Gigante's enclosure is much smaller in the day light hours than it is at night.
 * The three huts inside of El Gigante's enclosure contain items both before and during the fight. Should the huts be destroyed during the fight, all items within them are destroyed.
 * The sounds coming from the mines inside the first El Gigante's enclosure are actually the roars of a lion.
 * In some versions of the game, if you hit El Gigante with the Rocket Launcher as he grabs you, when he dies you will also despawn, making you unable to do anything.
 * If you kill one of them via the lava pit, you forfeit his money reward. However, there is a glitch in the GameCube versions of the game where if you leave and re-renter, the money will be sitting at the edge of the grate.
 * Notice how every El Gigante Leon fights, there is a way to make the fight easier. For example: the first El Gigante is much easier if you help the dog. The second El Gigante you can shoot the boulders to reduce his health and save ammo. The last two El Gigantes, you can instantly kill one of them by burning him alive in lava.
 * During the early stages of development of Resident Evil 5, at one point, Tricell was planned to release 10-15 El Gigantes into the African town. The Art of Resident Evil 5 contains rough concept art of this scrapped invasion.
 * In the Mobile Edition Leon cannot knife the plaga in his back.But he can dispatch him in 3-4 shots from the Rifle (semi-auto).
