Keep Exploration & Shopping to A Minimum
Unless it's an item essential for the story or something needed for boss fights, keep exploration & shopping to a minimum. Focus only on beating the game and not much else.
Never Stop Moving
Never stop moving, even when attacking enemies. If a target requires you to stand still, it's best to bypass it. It's also important to have infinite ammo available so you don't need to scrounge around for ammo.
