=====Stage 04 Easy=====
Easy difficulty is Ghost Babel with training wheels. 

  *More resources spawn 
  *Some bosses become easier
  *Snake is built like a tank, needing a ration is fairly unlikely.
  *Fewer guards and cameras
  *One of the awkward aspects of Easy is that Alerts and Evasions clear faster than other difficulties.
  *Guards without body armor die in 1 bullet, 2 bullets with body armor.
 
  *Guards without body armor will die immediately if you triple punch them.

  *There is one fewer turret before the chaff, but isn't worth the trouble picking up. Take the [[https://youtu.be/5uaPS5cwh_E|Badhumans line in the 2nd screen of Stage 04]]

  *If you are confident in your play, skip the rations near the end and pick up the ration in the first screen of Stage 09.

  *You want to pick up the R5 before the final dogs' screen! Clip [[https://clips.twitch.tv/IntelligentBoldClintmullinsCmonBruh|here]]
====Doors Puzzle====
  *Make sure to press the button on the edge closest to the next button
  *Be careful not to mash while pressing and accidentally press again
  *On the 3 shifts, you can press normally on the first then rapidly mash on the second to have the third one occur automatically (refer to the above bullet point)
  *You can swap the first and second buttons in any sequence, but the preferred orders are listed below

===Mud Guards===
  *Oddly enough, the screen after the first dogs screen has more guards than Normal difficulty.

====Slasher Hawk====

  *HP: 47

  *Takes 4 damage per hit

  *12 hits to kill

  *Red Boomerang travels linearly

  *Green Boomerang travels in a zigzag

  *Boomerangs always comes back to his right side (your left)

  *Hawk swoops in and out of the battlefield, eventually returning to Slasher Hawk

  *Slasher Hawk's Invincibility Frames = 2.5

  *0.5 second for grenade throw

  *Therefore, count to 2 seconds or 7 flashes - throw grenade
