*1. A Brief Foreword *
*****************************************************************************
Resident Evil 4 is STILL by far my favorite game of all time, and it's been
ages and a new generation since I first played it. I lost count of how many
times I've already played it (has to be close to around 50) and I imagine I'll
add a few more with the latest version.
Just FYI, this game led to my first guide and after about eight more guides, a
spot in a magazine, and a friendship with a forthcoming video game site. It's
all come full circle; and it's only fitting. This game has seriously changed
my life (and if you laugh then you're a COMMUNIST!!)
There's nothing more to be said. Greatest game of all time and you got the guy
who knows this game by memory. Terrible story though, but that's okay.
Happy Blasting!
TheGum
PS - I redid the whole main guide, but the mini games are the same as before.
For anyone keeping track, I've also kicked all the junk I had from
before. Hmm, maybe I should redo my Dead Rising guide too...
*****************************************************************************
*2. Basic Info (1001bio) *
*****************************************************************************
Just nuggets of info that someone will find useful.
ATTACHE CASE MANAGEMENT
-----------------------
*The mark of a good player is simple: you have trouble managing the space in
your attache case. Remember, if you must make room for more items then
try to sell your crap to a nearby merchant (use this guide to know
where the shops are).
*Combine herbs, toss excess ammo, put excess ammo in guns, move items around,
and then start using excess grenades when you must conserve space.
*Here is the hierarchy of items to toss from the case from least needed to
most needed: incendiaries, handgun ammo, eggs/fish, flash, TMP ammo,
rifle rounds, shotgun shells, green herbs, and hand grenades.
*Combing yellow herbs with green herbs only is a wise choice to maximize all
the herbs you're given. This means you can quickly heal those small
wounds with Y+G, and then save up your R+G for when you are about to
die. The problem, you will use up much more space in managing this
practice. Do this if your case is not always full.
*When tossing ammo, always look on the smallest amounts first. Compare three
shotgun shells to 20 handgun bullets. It takes about two shells to
kill an enemy, but it can also take about 10 bullets to kill one. This
is a dead draw, either way is fine. But never replace full boxes with
incomplete boxes. What I'm really trying to say, consider all factors
before you toss something.
*NEVER buy the stocks for the weapons. None of them are worth the space.
COMBAT POINTERS
---------------
*Menacing music means danger. When it stops, the coast is clear.
*Use whatever handgun you have by default. It's better to run out of handgun
bullets, than to run out of shotgun shells.
*My favorite attack for almost any enemy: shoot the legs so that they fall to
the ground, run up to them, aim down, and then watch brain fly.
*The laser sight (PS2 and Cube) can be abused. It will glow a brighter red and
you can see the dot when it's on a target, and you can't see the dot
otherwise.
*Depending on your system, you must know how to execute the 180 degree turn.
If you don't know how to do this then you will spend much time on the
'You Are Dead' screen.
*Aim for the knees. Will stagger enemies for a kick attack, or you can shoot
them again to knock them to the ground if they try to get up.
*When you see an enemy stagger backward or forward, you should run up to them
and press the button prompt to perform a free physical attack.
*Kill Las Plagas with a rifle round, it saves loads of ammo.
GENERAL TIPS
------------
*Kick doors open to move through them faster; just double-tap the button. You
can also damage enemies this way.
*Use the knife to open crates and barrels. The knife is your last resort when
you run out of ammo, but you can use it on downed opponents to save
ammo (and for one boss fight).
*Don't forget to run, not walk.
*Reload every time there is a break in the action.
*Use your G+R+Y vials when you're almost dead, and all health in general unless
you know you need it.
*The game does use a slight bit of rubberband AI, which means it will adjust
the game a bit to fit your level of play. If you suck you will be
handed lots of free goodies and a few less enemies in places. If you
rock then expect only the bare minimum in items and the maximum amount
of enemies.
Go to the PRO section for more nuggets.
Go to the Wii section for that system's unique qualities.
*****************************************************************************
*3. Weapons (1001wea) *
*****************************************************************************
This is merely a list of the weapons with a rating (my rating) and some info.
1.) Handgun: 4/5
Only good if you stick with it to the end. FREE!
2.) Punisher: 4/5
It is free, and shoots through two enemies. Free
3.) Red9: 3/5
I heard it has its uses, and Luis uses one; I never liked it
4.) Blacktail: 5/5*
Good aiming, fast, and powerful upgrades; must have for every zombie-hunter
5.) Shotgun: 4/5
Good if you stick with it. FREE!
6.) Riot Gun: 4/5
Better for crowd control, on par with an upgraded Shotgun from the start
7.) Striker: 5/5*
Best for crowd control, good handling too; weak at long range
8.) Rifle: 4/5
Can be better than the SAR, if you take it to the end; bolt-action though
9.) Semi-Auto Rifle: 5/5*
Awesome when upgraded
10.) TMP: 5/5*
I like it a lot, but it can waste lots of ammo fast, though, not essential
for a PRO runthrough
11.) Broken Butterfly: 3/5
Long reload time, and not all that powerful. Low ammo. Free
12.) Killer7: 5/5*
Can take out Los Gigantes in a few shots. Low ammo
13.) Mine-Thrower: 4/5
Stupid delay in the boom; if you buy exclude the scope. Good with skill
14.) Rocket Launcher: 5/5
Kills many BOSSES in one shot, good since it has only one shot.
One is free at least
*Starred guns means you should get them in a basic runthrough.
Ammo Types:
A.) Handgun ammo is red, used in: Handgun, Punisher, Red9, and Blacktail.
B.) Shotgun shells are green, used in: Shotgun, Riot Gun, and Striker.
C.) Magnum ammo is black, used in Broken Butterfly and Killer7.
*Hard to come by.
D.) TMP ammo is blue, used in TMP, what else?
Grenades:
A.) Hand Grenades are green and have a wide blast radius, good in close combat.
*Most close blasts do not hurt Leon if he is facing it, for some reason.
B.) Incendiary Grenades are red and have a small blast radius, but leave fire.
C.) Flash Grenades are blue and cause enemies to stagger in blindness.
*The flash kills Las Plagas instantly, except in boss fights.
*****************************************************************************
*4. Enemies (1001ene) *
*****************************************************************************
Just a run-down of enemy types and their weaknesses.
---------------
1.) Los Ganados
In the Village be sure to aim for the head; in fact, do it all the time no
matter what. Later enemies will yield Plagas, but just use a sniper round and
be done with it. And when you face a single enemy, stagger them to the ground,
run up, and knife them.
Bodyshots seem to do little damage, but limbshots can knock weapons out of
their hands.
Ganados come in three flavors: villager, cult, and commando. And many have
implements of doom, few armed with crossbows, and some rare ones use a gatling
gun!
---------------
--------------
2.) Las Plagas
These parasites control the various enemies throughout. They emerge from
enemies after it turns dark. Some are unavoidable, but headshots increase the
chances.
The hardest thing about the razor types is how they stagger forward when shot.
Razor Plagas will be fought throughout the game, but are the only type found
in the village.
The second type are the worm Plagas. They only have one attack, an instant
death move. If left alone long enough, and with even a decent range away, they
are able to extend towards you and take off your head in one bite. Not too bad,
just handle them from a distance.
The last type are the mature Plagas. They can spit acid when close enough, and
they too have an instant kill attack. These ones can also break away from the
host and scurry toward you. Kill these with a handgun round (two on PRO).
All types can be shot to death, killed by flash grenades, or sniped with one
rifle round. Only the mature forms will survive while in the host.
--------------
-------------------
3.) Special Ganados
The chainsaw villagers are the toughest in the game, I believe. And you can run
into two in the second area! Tough but not the best. They are pretty easy if
you knock them down and keep them down with a shotgun. If you cannot take them
out, then at least you get a cool death scene. They yeild great rewards when
killed.
There are even stronger, blue maniacs found in just two places. One is tough
and is found in the mine. The other is on the mine cart ride, but can be
avoided.
JJ's carry a huge machine gun. They must be staggered with strong weapons to
bring down. Headshots help.
The last type are found only on the island. They aren't too different from
normal Ganados, but they are a bit tougher and wear armor. Headshots are a must
for these, but legshots will also work. May sprout Plagas.
------------------
-------------
4.) Colmillos
You seldom encounter these puppies, and they are pretty weak. They will either
jump on you or slash you with whips. Just shotgun them with two shots.
-------------
-------------
5.) Garradors
Blind, at least for a length. They rely on hearing mostly. I consider them mini
boss fights and will tell you how to handle them when we get there.
Only one will wear armor.
-------------
---------------
6.) Novistadors
The first you encounter are invisible, but the flying ones are not. A couple of
shotgun shells do it for these things. Especially when they are in the air, one
shotgun blast kills them.
They can slice your head off, and more so in PRO. And they easily jump onto you
and spew acid, so shake them off ASAP or you're dead.
---------------
-------------
7.) Armaduras
Armored enemies with weapons. Shoot the helmets off to reveal the plagas, then
shoot the plagas.
-------------
----------------
8.) Regenerators
They regenerate! On my first run-through, I had no knowledge of how to properly
kill them; I would just shoot till they blew up. This works because they have
a set number of hit points. You will have to do this for the first few
encounters until you find the thermal scope. A Killer7 helps (good game too).
Don't shoot the legs! It only leads to more problems if you are close.
----------------
----------------
9.) Iron Maidens
A step above Regenerators. Keep your distance, unless you enjoy impalement.
Just use the infared scope and after that start shooting.
-----------------
*****************************************************************************
*5. Treasures (1001tre) *
*****************************************************************************
This new addition was put here for the benefit of those who don't know where or
what to do with treasures.
For the uninitiated, treasures are little trinkets found in hidden locations
throughout the game. Most are easy to spot and run across, but some are hidden
pretty good or require extra effort to obtain. The ultimate purpose of finding
these is to sell them to the various merchants for a nice profit. The money
earned will usually only pay for an upgrade or two, but it does add up in the
long run (as do most things in life).
There are three types of treasures: small, regular, and combo. Small treasures
include the spinels, velvet blues, emeralds, jewels, and the jewel-less big
treasures. Regulars are simply the ones that can be sold as is. Combo treasures
will require at least two jewels added on in order to reach maximum value. The
combo jewels and treasures will usually be kept for long periods of time
while you collect all the components.
If you missed treasure, or failed a combo treasure, don't sweat it. The
effect of missing a few are small, but miss more and you will be crying later
when you need that little extra change for a purchase.
And no, key items cannot be sold. Even in Separate Ways, where some treasures
have been turned into keys for Ada.

those who want to see what weapons are better and how much upgrades cost, also
when they are available.
I will list the big weapons only. Mainly the ones I recommend. No Round 2 guns,
magnums, or the mine thrower. You can figure them out on your own.
You can tell where the gun is first available by where the first upgrade can
be bought.
The pattern of where upgrades are found are as follows: the first is the same
for every quality, the 4th in fire and capacity are the same as the 3rd in
the speeds, and the six levels are the same in fire and capacity. But I will
tell you where each is.
Some numbers may be off for the different versions of the game, but this is
a great way to plan ahead. How you get them and when is up to you.

get and when you have to reload

Upgrade these yourself, because I wouldn't waste the money:
Red9 can be found at the Tunnel Pt 2.
Mine Thrower is bought at the castle gates.
Broken Butterfly is free at Reunited, but is also at the gates.
Killer7 is at Leon's Breach.
Replay (bonus weapons) guns are for your pleasure only.
Attache Case Upgrades:
Medium is at the Valley.
Large is at the gates.
XX is at Fight for the Rocket.
Of course every gun with a stock has it available when the gun is. I would
recommend you skip all.
Sprays are 10,000 on the Gamecube, but only 5,000 on the PS2; which makes way
more sense. But you should never need to buy any if you are good.
All ammo is worth something, but magnum ammo is worth 500 a bullet, so if you
don't buy a magnum and sell all the ammo you find it can be profitable.
Grenades are worth:
Frag = 2,000
Incendiary = 1,000
Flash = 500
You should never need to buy treasure maps with all this info. And if you do...
then curse you for not trusting all my hard work!!!

This big line is for anyone trying to plan ahead and see where the next greedy
merchant resides. Hope I got them all.
Make sure you read ahead of where you are in the game.
Exploring an area is crucial for getting through this game, so don't miss out
on the items. I will tell you what items to look for, but you should be able
to see what resides in an area. Sorry, I hope you know, or learn, how to
explore areas. And most crates have random stuff, so most are empty. Look in
cabinets and drawers for items.
You will not need a treasure map for any section with this guide.
*stars* (something of interest)
**I erased the items section in each area. Just too unreliable and possibly the
wrong way to hunt down items. I have instead focused more on telling you where
to find items.**
**Also, I have added little notes called 'PRO TIPS' into the guide. They are
intended to give you the heads up on advanced play in the game. If you follow
them, many benefits you make.*
*************
1.1 The Woods (1001woo)
*************
+Save any and all blue grenades for a boss fight.+
*Last chance to look at the PRO section of this guide for advanced tips.*
*NOTE: For all players, but especially you Wiiers, check the controls and test
them out behind the car. You need to know how to knife, how to run, how to
turn, how to reload, and how to shoot. And know that you will need to master
these skills for the heat of the battle, which will be soon.*
As you can see, you only have a handgun, so take time to get familiar with the
controls. Walk up a ways and shoot the three crows in front of you for some
rewarding target practice. Just don't scare them away.
*Try to cross the bridge and speak with the policia for extra scenes.*
To the left of the house is a crate that might be empty. Enter the house and
you'll get a scene. You'll find that you won't be able to put the controller
down for any cutscene in this game. Shoot the guy in the legs and then run up
and knife him on the ground. Another scene. Grab anything he may have left and
then run up the stairs, but only for the ammo on a table. Come back down and
jump out the window to exit the house turn around and dispatch the trio of
goons with legshots followed by headshots and knife slashes.
*You could have jumped out of the window from the second level, but then you
would have been in the open.*
*You can return to the car area for a little scene if you like.*
Continue up the path, enter the little shack, collect the items, and then save.
Shoot two more crows for free items and then free poor Fido (why not?). Look in
the grass to the right of the path, in a partially fenced off area, for a red
herb.
*I hope everyone knows to knife boxes at this point, I'm not saying it again.*
Watch where you walk. Down the path are more traps and also some bombs. Be
careful and slip past the traps by hugging the left side of the area
(you're trying to avoid everything here). Up the path is another enemy.
*To set off a trap, get the knife out and swing at the trap; saves ammo. But
do shoot at bomb wires (though, not this time).*
In the little shack, get all the stuff and exit. Then be quick to drop the two
enemies nearby, around the corner. Cross the bridge (ignore the guys on the
cliff above), but stop before you enter the last shack. Get to where you can
peek through the window from a distance, and then take a shot at the waiting
villager. Let him exit and then take him out, and you just avoided a cheap
scare! Collect the goods and enter the gates.
*On normal you should have over 100 rounds of ammo. On PRO, much less.*
***************
1.1 The Village (1001vil)
***************
+Winner! of 'Best Part of the Game' Award, Congrats!+
+Treasure in chainsaw guys+
+Shotgun+
+Last time I say it, save any and all blue grenades for a boss fight.+
+In fact, save as many Hand Grenades as you can.+
*You need to kill around 14 to move on.*
*Wii Tip: Yes, as you can imagine, this part is especially difficult for you.*
Goodness, your gaming skills will be put to the test early, I still find
trouble playing this area. Go forward and spy on the peasants if you like.
Then just go for it! Run into the town center and start shooting legs, yes,
aim for as many legs as possible. Avoid the left side of the town, and
make a path to the nearby house on the right of the policia (not the two-story
house).
*You're in the right house if you don't get a cutscene.*
In here you are only going to make a temporary stand. Quickly push the nearby
drawer in front of the door to buy time. Slash the crates, and then enter the
other room to get a few other items (you are mainly here to get those extra
shotgun shells). Return to the main room and hopefully the furniture is still
holding up, it should be. Get in position behind the door, and then shoot at
head-level on the door. This will open up a hole and let you kill a bunch of
enemies with headshots, so just do it already!
*If you got the grenade from the crow earilier, you may want to use it when
they bust open the door. In which case you don't need to shoot a hole in the
door.*
There should have been a whole bunch, and enough killed to trigger a scene of
more villagers rushing in the village. Hopefully the dead dropped some much
needed ammo. When the coast seems clear enough, push the drawer out of the way
and exit, picking up what you can, and head into the two-story house. Watch
the scene.
*And at all times, please ignore the throwers up above.*
The trap is sprung! After the scene run to the bookcase by the window and push
it in front of the window, then collect the ammo in the back and go ahead and
break the crates. Run upstairs to grab the shotgun, grenade, and ammo. Now
run to the broken window and knock down the ladder, do an about face (180), and
shoot the people coming inside if any.
You got options now, you can stay here and mind the mobs, or you can move to
a new location. It is entirely possible to remain by this bed and fend off the
horde. However, things will get hairy when you have enemies climbing a ladder
behind you, crawling from the bottom level, and entering through the window.
It can be done, but I don't advise this.
*Wii Tip: On the Wii, and only on the Wii, I noticed that there were a couple
of bad guys covering the top floor window from the outside. Not a big deal if
you ignore the fact that this will slow you down enough to let everyone
converge upon you. By the time I was finished with the two on the window the
ENTIRE village had poured into the house and the chainsaw guy was then outside
the window! So, if you get caught in this as well be sure to toss a Hand
Grenade to clear the place. Then hop out and you're free; and now the battle is
much shorter, so it's sort of okay.*
Instead, quickly clear a path and jump out of the window near the stair case
so that you are on a walkway on the outside of two homes. There is a box of
ammo on the chimney and a ladder you might want to knock down. Follow the
walkway around the two-story house and you'll find a spinel. Grab it and stand
where you took it; turn around. This is where you will mind the mob. Now you
have only one direction to think about. Of course, this means you will have
more work to do, but at least it's all concentrated to one side. Cap knees,
blow up skulls, and kill enemies, but whatever you do, stay on the roofing. The
chainsaw maniac will eventually show up. This is the cue for you to use that
shotgun. Pull it out and use it to blast back the maniac, and use a bullet or
two to shred the villagers (don't shoot from too far away or you'll be wasting
ammo, yes, that means run up a bit if you must).
*If all else fails, just start wildly shooting at heads because you only need
to kill so many before the fight will stop. May save you, or not.*
After about 15 or so kills, the battle ends and you are free to pick up what
your enemies dropped and all other items.
*If you get low on health, wait to recover with a G+R+Y herb after the battle.
But of course, use what you must while still fighting.*
Collect the few rewards lying around and then explore the whole area, make sure
you grab the two green herbs, and each of the other colored herbs. Mix all
three together if you need to recover health. There are items in almost every
inch of this area, so explore in detail. And check each little log storage on
the sides of walls to find a few hidden items (about 4, I believe). Collect
the shells in the tower too. Just too much to list off. Need sharp eyes to spot
most items.
Head behind the tower, check the shack on the right for a document and ammo.
Exit through the gates.
*If you wish to do your own fight with the villagers, feel free; there are way
too many ways to fight this fight (watch out for the extra maniac too)*
**Save any and all Flash Grenades for a later boss. Also, don't forget that you
can adjust the brightness from the pause menu if things are too dark.**
************
1.1 The Farm (1001far)
************
+Glitch items+
*PRO TIP: I'll say it one time: DON'T USE THE SHOTGUN UNLESS YOU HAVE TO! And,
you may as well save as many Hand grenades as possible.*
*The enemies are now tougher than the ones from the first area, FYI.*
Move in front of the tiny shack with the typewriter and shoot at the guy
minding his own business inside the barn. Kill him and another farmer in the
same area. Now turn to the right and shoot at another Ganados from afar, but
let him get up close, and you can use the fence to your advantage. Hop over,
grab the blue paper, but go toward the barn. Look past the house and you should
see another enemy lurking about, so draw him out and kill him. This leaves only
one more farmer on the second level of the house, so climb up and kill him, or
shoot him from the ground.
*Yes, the cows hit hard. And there are multiple chickens in this area that
usually lay eggs.*
Go to the tree near the front and pick up the blue paper. Use your map and
shoot the seven medallions in the area; they are all hanging above the ground.
Check the boxes, barrels, and blue cabinets inside the home. There is a barrel
inside the barn and another behind the tiny shack with all the dead bodies
nearby. Now go back to the front of the area where you'll find a well (not
flowing with water). Shoot the piece of wood holding the lid up, shoot the
pendant, and then pick it up; you'll get a worthless pendant if you shoot it
while the lid is up, and don't open the lid once you close it or you're out of
luck. Save inside the shack and return up the ladder in the house. Cross the
bridge and check the shack on the other side for some stuff. After you make
sure you shot all the medallions, cross back over the bridge and jump off the
side that's in front of the window. You'll land in a secret little area that
holds the Beerstein. Push your way out and exit through the gates.
*FYI, you can find the medallions by using the map in game.*
****************
!!GLITCH ALERT!! Thanks YouTube! And remember kids, save before you commit this
glitch just in case your game is screwed for it. And I've only tried this on
the Cube, so it probably won't work on the other versions.
*Nope, not on the Wii.*
Follow the fenceline from the cow barn to the north end. You may have to try a
few times, but it can be done. Stand on the east side of the fence and try to
hop over onto the area of dirt on the other side. If done correctly you will
officially be in glitch land where there are no rules. I found success doing
this by looking north and then pressing the jump button on the last stretch of
fencing.
You can walk forever! You can walk all around the real gamespace and see what
it takes to design a level. Not too much interesting though.
What you want is to walk around near the well area. Walk directly behind it
until you slide down and back to ground level, but still in glitch land. Now
run back a bit and look under the surface to find two objects floating in the
white space nearby. There is an item pile full of a bunch of items, however,
you must take each one at a time. The homing darts are useless, and you can
toss the real dart too. The other items might be useful, so hold onto them.
There is also a dirty pendant nearby.
After you've had your fun, simply walk back to the real game area and you
should revert back to ground level. Good times.
And remember, save in a different slot, or just load your clean game back up
if you want to play it safe.
*****************
****************
1.1 The Hillside (1001hil)
****************
Go forward, and read the red warning sign; get ready to button mash! Go down
the hill to trigger the boulder scene. You should be really fast! And be fast
about hitting the two buttons at the end. It may take some trial and error, but
you will need to get used to it, these sort of cool action scenes happen quite
a bit.
*I always put the controller on my knee and use my index finger to get past
these sequences; you'll use the wrist muscles, but pushing the combo at the
end is a bit tricky. Up to you*
*Wii Tip: Make fast slashes back and forth.*
*You can go back up the hill and shoot the guys on a bridge, but don't bother.*
Go through the tunnel and look up for two spinels along the way. Be warned
there are beartraps, trip wires, and dynamite happy villagers to greet you at
the end of the tunnel. Go for the first bomber in front of you, then move
to the right side of the house and try to take out the ones in the house
through the door, but watch out for the beartraps(3). You may want to just toss
in a grenade. Collect the stuff in the house then exit. Usually, the last
villager kills himself, but you may need to take him out.
*If you run out of the tunnel to the house, maybe the villagers will kill
themselves; remember to shoot live dynamite!*
*Wii Tip: Now you get it extremely easy! Everyone can aim at the dynamite while
in the villager's hand, and everyone can blow it up. But thanks to the better
aiming system on the Wii, you can really breeze past this part. Aim for the
bomb in the first guy's hand, aim for the stick barely visible through the
window of the house, and then go to the left and blow up the second guy's bomb.
Then all you have to do is watch out for traps and finish off the survivors in
the house.*
Watch for the traps as you enter the shack to grab the items. Shoot the nest in
the tree near the house to get the first gem that fits into your Beerstein. Hit
the box on the corner of the house and then enter. Ammo, cabinet, and a save.
Don't run into the hallway. Stand by the wall and then shoot both bomb wires
to clear the path. There's money on the table, herb in the cabinet, push over
the bookcase, and then a Luis in the closet (zing!).
*Wii Tip: You can quick knife boxes, traps, and spiders too!*
*Do the button push when the guy is about to swing. Does he look familiar?*
*Wii Note: My accuracy was 96%!!! That means this aiming system is too broken.*

*After the interactive cutscene.*
*For all those who thought that stoopid jacket made Leon look all the more like
a metrosexual, REJOICE! I wonder what ever happened to that stoopid jacket?
See Separate Ways for more on this developing story.*
Grab the two ammo and save. Go to the merchant, sell your treasures but not the
beerstein, not yet anyway. I recommend buying the rifle and the attache
upgrade. Then grab the 2-3 items in the area before you start your snipe.
*You do not need the scope if you are a good shot, just a waste of money.*
*NOTE: You do not need any upgrades, seriously. If you want to save your money
and give yourself a slight challenge, then don't get any. All weapons you have
right now will be sold, so if you can hold out you will net huge gains.*
*PRO TIP: don't buy any upgrades.*
Take a spot in the little break in the wall to the right of the gate, and aim
for the heads of the visible villagers. I believe there are seven in all, but
one or two sometimes won't pop up (watch out for the one on top of the nearby
building, get him before you snipe if you can see him).
*Don't mind it if they drop stuff.*
Once you pop out of the gate, one villager will be waiting and more will come.
I elected to stay near the gate and handle the mob. Many dynamite throwers will
come from up top, so aim for their live explosives if they get too close.
Somehow, the bombers ended up taking care of their buddies without me doing
much (so let them come without shooting them from afar). Use the shotgun if
you must. There will be two waves and then the coast is clear.
After the huge wave you have many options. The two high points you sniped a
few guys off of are great places to take out enemies from. You need the two
key items from two nearby chests. One is near a high point to the right on the
cliff; this is where I went first. Grabbing the half will spawn more Ganados,
3 waves. Wait for the first guy to get near the red barrel and shoot his legs
so that he's on the ground; shoot the barrel when the rest catch up. And then
you just handle the next wave of bad guys that come up the slope. Then stand
on the perch up here and snipe any Ganados you may have missed in your first
sweep.
Drop from the cliff, and then to the ground. If the music is still on, but you
see no enemies, this means that someone is inside the shack to the south. It's
hard to tell you exactly what to do because most enemies require you to do
something before they will charge out. All I can say is that you can relax once
the music stops. Be sure to grab the other half of the hexagon on top of the
building near the entrance.
Collect the items in and around the shacks; use a R+G+Y herb if you are low on
health. Combine the hexagon pieces and leave.
*Lockers have items too!*
*****************
1.2 The Barricade (1002bar)
*****************
+Free Fish!+
*Try to reframe from using health items, as there is free health at the end*
Collect the items around the entrance then go in and break the crate in here.
Open the door and take the villager out, three more come at you, but try to
take them out with only your Handgun. Now go around the corner and get ready.
Jump through the window and quickly aim to the left and shoot one of the two
dynamites as they fly in the air (it's not that hard).
After this friendly fire, knife all the traps in your way. A few more enemies
will be on to you, so keep an eye on the door. Break the crates, open the
ovens, and then exit. In the water room (waterless on the PS2) break the wooden
window to grab the tucked away mask, and then grab the other items before you
enter the hallway (there is a guy in this hallway on the PS2). Move toward the
ladder and finish off the final bad guy and end the music. Any wounds you may
have suffered, heal them with the fish in the water below. Jump down and knife
as many fish as you can carry (it's not that hard, but don't make space for
any fish, it's not worth it). Climb up and out of here when ready.
*Take as many as you can carry, but toss them first if your case gets stuffed.*
*Wii Tip: It's Wii Fish! There is one less, but on the Wii it is easy to just
get near a fish and then shake the Wiimote to hit it. Also, for some reason,
I found that I had more space and you should too, so pack 'em up.*
*********************
1.2 The Chief's House (1002tch)
*********************
+Must grab Key+
*Remember, if you have to make room, toss the fish first.*
Immediately, get back and don't spook the crows; shoot the closest one and then
aim for the wire to kill two birds with one stone (zing!). Watch out for the
traps (3); use your knife. Go to the well, remember shoot support, shoot watch,
and collect. Get stuff in shack and proceed to your first puzzle. Simply move
it UP and then LEFT. Go inside and collect the four things in the room. Then
exit for a scene (make sure you have the key).
*Return to the fancy room for a secret scene.*
Collect the herb behind you and go downstairs. Collect the three items in the
rooms, but there is a villager in the bathroom by the stairs (don't bother).
Save.
When exiting the house, barely step out of the doorway. Take out your rifle
and aim for the chainsaw man up the path who stares at you. Depending on where
you hit him, one or two more villagers will come (sometimes you can hit one
right behind him). Take out the approaching maniac by shooting him when he
stands up, and sometimes you can stop him from starting up his chainsaw. Keep
some distance between you two. Collect the ruby he drops and continue until
another villager approaches; take him out.
*You may consider retreating back into the house for help taking out the
maniac, probably use the stairs to funnel him into sight*
Look up in the trees before the shack and shoot the nest. Near the shack
another enemy will come out. Get the herb and continue until you see some
more villagers. I would just snipe them all for easy kills. A TMP ammo
resides in a nest; may as well grab it and go.
*Throw away fish first if you really need to.*
********************
1.3 The Village Pt 2 (1003vp2)
********************
Same as before on items, nothing new.
Just run to the metal door in front of the town square. As you would expect,
many villagers are in the way. I recommend not fighting at all, seeing as there
are a good number in the village and you will spend needed ammo if you fight.
I would just run around the locked barn, run right when you spot a woman,
squeeze between two buildings, run through the empty town center, and then exit
through the steel door with the insignia.
*If you must fight go into one of the houses and funnel the enemies*
**************
1.3 The Tunnel (1003ttl)
**************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Use a fish or something to recover life lost in the last area. Grab the stuff
and save. In the next room shoot the lantern, but stand back and then grab the
spinel. Open the door and drop into the tunnel.
Proceed until you reach the water, no zombies down here. Shoot the lantern to
reveal three treasures in the ceiling, then shoot the treasures (a random crate
is in a small hole in the wall). Then proceed to the merchant.
You should sell every treasure except the cup and the mask, and sell the big
fish if you still have it. Sell some stuff if your case is full. Don't really
need many upgrades. Up to you.
*PRO TIP: don't buy any upgrades.*
*NOTE: Capacity upgrades are good to use when you have little to no ammo for
a gun; you can try to plan the upgrades to get maximum ammo, but that is more
work than necessary. Also, I like putting items in my case in certain areas for
easy access, like guns toward the top. If you don't know, you can turn items
around to make them better fit into place.*
*NOTE: The TMP is good for beginners to buy here, since you may run out of ammo
for other weapons. If you want to buy it for safety, don't use it unless as a
last resort and save ammo for a boss fight. If you are confident you can do
without and want the open space, wait to buy it.*
+I know you're saving those blue grenades and TMP ammo for a boss fight...+
**************
1.3 The Church (1003chu)
**************
Two nest in the trees, grab the grenade and keep it for later. Hear the birds?
At the end of the path, shoot the three crows on the graves. Two villagers will
come, but those items won't be there forever. Now grab the stuff in the shack,
but wait, there are three medallions in the graveyard area. I would shoot them,
hopefully putting the count to ten, and go back to the last area to pick up the
Punisher for free!
*You can sell the Punisher back if you wish*
*ALTERNATE: Sell the handgun! Keep the Punisher. My reasoning, both were free
yet the Punisher has a cool ability. One upgrade of its power will put it at
1.1, which makes it just as strong as the Handgun. Try it if you want. Or save
up for a new handgun not too far away.*
*Or just wait to get the Punisher if you're case is full of stuff.*
Back in the graveyard, go to the church. Three villagers await, good time to
put that new gun to use (aim for the live dynamite). Shoot the nest and go
around the side behind the church for two more Ganados. Go ahead and fix the
puzzle: turn it by 3 increments until all symbols are on, then turn it by 4
increments five times, and then a 3 space turn for the Green Catseye. Stick it
in the Beerstein and go to the church for a scene.
*If you continue down the path before going to the church, you can have a
somewhat hidden conversation.*
Take the scenic route on the cliff. Four villagers await, so don't
disappoint. In the shack grab the paper, knife the crate on the table
and knife the snake inside (first snake). Proceed to one last enemy before the
exit.
**************
1.3 The Quarry (1003qua)
**************
*Get out a hand grenade and quietly take out the murder of crows in one shot.*
*If you are trying to save grenades, just shoot the crows with your gun. After
you exit the dock, kill whatever ones you missed.*
Collect the items, including two spinels (if you need to sell items for space
go to the dock first and get the stuff when you come out). Hear the roaring?
Save all flash grenades from this point on, try to at least. Turn right at the
door to enter the dock. The other spinel is in a wagon full of rocks.
*You'll be back later, don't worry. I know you're still holding onto those
blue grenades and blue ammo... I bring it up for no reason of course.*
************
1.3 The Dock (1003doc)
************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Some stuff in here, but you can't take the fish. Now you may sell the Punisher,
I did for the space. Or you can sell the handgun, or keep both. Save.
*NOTE: The TMP is kept for most of the game, so upgrading it early is not a bad
idea. However, the Handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle are phased out in later chapters
so don't upgrade them beyond a few capacity and power upgrades; your call.*
*For beginners, you may want to consider getting the power upgrades.*
Exit past the Quarry to the Swamp.
*************
1.3 The Swamp (1003swa)
*************
Grab the shack and proceed to another boulder sequence; be quick for the last
two buttons. Turn around for a spinel under the cliff.
You only need your handgun for the three enemies near the wire bombs. The one
at 12:00 is easy to blow up, as is the one in the water to the left. There is
another to the right, one in the tiny shack, and another in the water ahead.
Just handle them as you wish.
The music should start up, turn off after they are dead, and then come back on
when no one is around. That means there is a wave of five approaching from
behind. The rifle can take out two or more at a time, so it shouldn't do too
badly. After they are gone, another wave will come forth again, so do what you
just did. Don't miss the grenade by the water nearby.
After the two waves, proceed through the shack for the items (snake on the
shelf). Two more guys are in the water, and another nearby on the platform.
Shoot one in the water so he runs into the wire, and then take out the other
two from a distance. Run up to the platform, shoot the nest in the tree, grab
the red grenade, pick up the pipe by going into the water, and then go back
to the platform.
Shoot the enemy in the distance with your pistol so he blindly runs into the
wire. There is one last enemy in the shack (snake on a table), and then you
are free to leave. And if you're really crafty, you can get both to run into
the wire with only a few handgun bullets used.
*May be snakes all over the place, free eggs!*
************
1.3 The Lake (1003lak)
************
+Nominee for 'Best Part of the Game' Award+
+BOSS: EL LAGO+
*If you have any empty guns keep them that way, trust me*
Go up the path taking a left at the fork, and get a scene (yes, you will be
crossing this lake). Collect a herb in the grass and go back the other path.
A treasure is in a nest, then get the stuff in the shack. Continue to the next
shack, collect items, save.
*Before getting in the boat, you can shoot the water while standing on the
dock; at least you saved!*
Get in the boat and get ready for your first boss battle, with El Lago. Drive
forward to trigger the fight.
*Aiming the harpoon is the same as a gun*
EL Lago is the first boss battle of the game and is fairly easy; at least you
need not worry about weapons and ammo. The top priority is to avoid any logs in
the water as you are being dragged around. If you do fall off the boat, then be
quick to get back on the boat before Lago reaches you. I advise you to use the
harpoon only when you are clear of any logs.
EL Lago will constantly dive underwater. When he does this toward a side of
the lake move way out to the right to avoid his attack. Then try to harpoon him
but only when clear of trees. Try to get in two hits before he gets to the
other side of the lake.
Sometimes he will disappear and you will automatically be aiming. Look around
and hope he pops up in your view. If he doesn't use the red arrows to locate
him and fire the harpoon high when he is far away; put the sight right on his
mouth as he is closer and fire. If you hit him, he will not ram you into the
water. Rinse and repeat until he leaves/dies (I don't know which). You're not
done, cut the rope by pressing the button rapidly to finish the fight.
*Takes about 12 harpoons to finish; also if you fall into the water late in the
fight, you are less likely to make it back to the boat*
*Wii Tip: Harder to throw (delay), easier to aim, and harder to steer. Expect
to get thrown off if you played this before.*
*****************
2.1 The Lake Pt 2 (2001lp2)
*****************
*It's not worth it to go back across the lake and into the swamp. It's just
more enemies and little ammo for it.*
*Use a R+Y+G herb to recover health. Also, you can hop in the boat and go
harpooning for fish (it will take forever, and not worth it).*
Grab stuff if you have room for it, and grab the paper then save. Outside you
can continue or you can get in the boat and go to a hidden merchant across the
lake (the big blue fires). Grab some big fish to sell if you have room - I
didn't.
When you return just continue, you should save again.
************
2.1 The Cave (2001cav)
************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Various stuff is around the shack, one spinel in a lantern to the right, and
more items on the roof to the left. You can drop down behind the counter from
the roof to grab a rifle ammo and talk there.
*The Green Gem goes into the mask*
Get any capacity upgrades for empty, or close to empty, weapons. Then feel free
to grab whatever else. Use this time to sell items for some space. Leave.
*****************
2.1 The Waterfall (2001twf)
*****************
+Grab the Key+
Proceed a bit for your first encounter with a Las Plagas. Use the rifle on it
to make it drop Gold Bars. Kill the other guy, Las Plagas or not. Proceed to
the falls, jump over from platform to platform and go to the edge of the cliff
for a grenade. Take out your rifle and snipe the lone villager on the left side
in a structure, aim for the torso. Jump over the falls and drop down to the
bottom with the rope.
*Since it is now dark for the rest of the game, headshots up the odds of having
to fight a Las Plagas.*
Turn around and shoot the spinel from the cliff, then collect some stuff on the
platform your victim was on. Go to the falls and aim right for the crate hooked
to a chain, shoot the box for your platform to cross. You can see a shinny
blink in the wood in front of the falls, shoot it for an Amber Ring. Go up the
ladder for a herb, then shoot the two crates for more platforms. Cross them
(random behind the ladder) then go up the ladder for a lever, pull it for
access to the cave behind the falls.
Go down and when you get over to the middle, villagers will emerge. Try to use
only a few handgun rounds and a single grenade (red is your first choice). Or,
if you think you can't handle the heat, perhaps you should jump back over the
rushing water and pick them off one by one. It's really up to you. Go through
the path to the door, grab the key, and proceed.
*****************
2.1 The Dock Pt 2 (2001td2)
*****************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
+No new items+
A spinel is in the lantern and there are some items (ignore the bats), then get
in the boat. Back to familiar territory.
Upgrade the TMP, it is my weapon of choice for the upcoming fight. Do what you
need to, a boss fight awaits. Save then exit.
*I hope you have three flash grenades and some TMP ammo!*
*PRO TIP: Only if you don't have the TMP.
Free up 16 boxes in the case, or whatever it takes to get a rocket to fit. A
rocket equals instant kill on the boss. The problem is space may be really
tight this early in the game. The TMP and four Flash Grenades equals the same
space and does the same to kill Gigante. A rocket is just faster.
Also, if you haven't been buying upgrades, didn't buy the TMP, and you have
some TMP ammo and a few Flash grenades to sell, then the purchase will be
easy.*
*******************
2.1 The Quarry Pt 2 (2001tq2)
*******************
+Nominee for 'Best Part of the Game' Award+
+BOSS: EL Gigante+
Grab the Herb and equip a flash grenade.
*NOTE: CUT fast to kill him quicker.*
As soon as the battle starts throw a flash grenade, as it flies in the air get
out your TMP or something. Start shooting as he staggers and don't let up; I
was unable to make the Plagas appear with one TMP clip so quickly reload and
keep firing even if he approaches you. He SHOULD not hit you and instead reveal
the Plagas in his back for you to cut. Run up and cut (be warned, you may be
tricked into pressing the wrong button, as this fight introduces the second
button to press), press the correct button and be fast about it too.
*Avoid the shacks! Stay away and try to prevent him from crushing them!*
After this is done, repeat. Get out the flash and shoot fast; the dog you freed
way back in the beginning should appear to save you this time. While El Gigante
is trying to crush the dog, shoot him. Cut, flash, shoot, and the battle should
be over in three cuts. Collect the gold and other items lying about, and in
the shacks if they still remain. Exit.
**PRO TIP: Or just use one rocket to end the fight quicker. And you better not
freaking miss, or I will disown you!**
*Notice that his body does not fade away, interesting. Continue to save all
flash grenades... for no reason of course.*
*NOTE: This is a really easy battle for me; if you need more help or something
goes wrong, refer to the boss section for more help. You can always RETRY the
area.*
*NOTE: Other weapons work too! but most are slow. If you do something different
you will probably just need to heal yourself at some point and take his hits.*
*Wii Tip: Took two flash grenades, about 175 TMP rounds, a hit, and two rounds
of furiously cutting the Plagas, and that was it. So yes, this boss has been
dumbed down a bit.*
*******************
2.1 The Church Pt 2 (2001cp2)
*******************
Proceed across the cliff, grab the stuff in the shack along the way. At the end
pull out your rifle and aim for a Colmillos in the distance (scary!). Then get
out your shotgun and blast him and the other two away. Go inside the church.
*You can also collect the items in the nests and shacks right now from the
places you found before, or you can wait, it doesn't matter.*
**************
2.2 The Ashley (2002ash)
**************
Go forward for some pesetas, then to the right for a flash. Go up the ladder
and then cross over with the chandelier, then grab the item on the side. Now is
time for another puzzle: turn red twice, green thrice, and blue once; COMBINE
and enter the opened room.
The game now becomes an escort mission, yipeep! It won't be too bad though. Get
the items in the room and exit, then down the ladder for a scene.
*Oh, I see you being naughty! Shame Shame. 'Dude, you're like 34!'*
Outside, get these items and exit.
+I'll say it here for no reason. If you beat the game on PRO on the versions
other than the Gamecube, you can equip the 2nd set of costumes and Ashley will
be bullet and damage proof. She will also cause a funny scene everytime you
CATCH her.*
*******************
2.2 The Church Pt 3 (2002cp3)
*******************
Shoot the wagon, then handle the two remaining villagers. That's all; collect
the stuff in the shack and in the nest in the trees as you return to the
tunnel if you hold out.
*******************
2.2 The Tunnel Pt 2 (2002tp2)
*******************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Merchant time! The Red9 becomes available, but I passed on buying it. Tune up
the TMP if you wish.
*PRO TIP: Da Red9 SUCKS!!! (haha, I just ticked off about one person!)*
*You should still have the Beerstein (2 catseyes) and a Mask (1 gem)*
Continue for a crate; no lantern treasures this time, and proceed. In the room
get back against the wall and shoot this lantern for a spinel. Grab the stuff
in the next room and save, then exit.
********************
2.2 The Village Pt 3 (2002vp3)
********************
+New items in a few of the same places+
There are way fewer enemies here than ever before. I usually camp out around
the door and kill Ganados one at a time as they find you. It's a worthwhile
strategy to leave Ashley somewhere and then kill the villagers as they pick
her up; not worth it when there is a big mob.
After you feel all is safe, keep an eye open as you scan the old area for a
few new items. Watch out for beartraps down and around the tower path to the
Farm. Take this path for a few more enemies as well as more traps.
*Sorry for the brevity, but you have been here before.*
*****************
2.2 The Farm Pt 2 (2002fp2)
*****************
+New items in a few of the same places+
*The rifle can take out Plagas in one shot; remember that.*
Get out your rifle and take out the guy in the barn. Then hide Ashley in the
trash can; save if you must. Move over toward the well and snipe the two
Ganados on the bridge; more may come so snipe them too. Two more remain around
the house area so handle them when you get close. Take care of the beartraps
inside and explore for items. Then go up and take care of the villager in the
fenced off area. Take care of the beartraps; then call for Ashley. Look in the
little shack while she makes her way to you. CATCH when she is there then
PIGGYBACK to enter a new area.
*If you have been using the Shotgun in spite of my advice, leave it at empty
when you exit this place so you can get some free ammo. And if you haven't
been using the shotgun, pat yourself on the head - you've earned it!*
**NOTE: if you want to do this again, feel free. Just make sure you make
another save slot. That should equal three, with only your first one being the
truly 'clean' version. And you get the same items.**
****************
!!GLITCH ALERT!! Thanks YouTube! And remember kids, save before you commit this
glitch just in case your game is screwed for it. And I've only tried this on
the Cube, so it probably won't work on the other versions.
*Nope, not on the Wii.*
Follow the fenceline from the cow barn to the north end. You may have to try a
few times, but it can be done. Stand on the east side of the fence and try to
hop over onto the area of dirt on the other side. If done correctly you will
officially be in glitch land where there are no rules. I found success doing
this by looking north and then pressing the jump button on the last stretch of
fencing.
You can walk forever! You can walk all around the real gamespace and see what
it takes to design a level. Not too much interesting though.
What you want is to walk around near the well area. Walk directly behind it
until you slide down and back to ground level, but still in glitch land. Now
run back a bit and look under the surface to find two objects floating in the
white space nearby. There is an item pile full of a bunch of items, however,
you must take each one at a time. The homing darts are useless, and you can
toss the real dart too. The other items might be useful, so hold onto them.
There is also a dirty pendant nearby.
After you've had your fun, simply walk back to the real game area and you
should revert back to ground level. Good times.
And remember, save in a different slot, or just load your clean game back up
if you want to play it safe.
*****************
**************************
2.2 Assault of Los Ganados (2002atg)
**************************
*******************************MERCHANT(x2)************************************
*PRO TIP: This is where all your saving up on shotgun shells and hand grenades
will pay off.*
*NOTE: if you've followed the PRO TIPS, your case if full of hand grenades and
shotgun shells, and you did the glitch twice, then you're more than ready.*
All I advise buying is one capacity upgrade for your shotgun; not only for
free bullets, just do it anyway. And maybe a power upgrade, but that is your
choice. Now return to the farm, and then come back and cross the bridge (this
is so the game will autosave your buying in case you die and you won't have to
do it again). Maybe get the firepower of the shotgun up to 5, just in case.
*Just know that you need to kill a whole bunch of enemies (40).*
As soon as the battle starts block all windows on the bottom level and grab
the various items. Wait until they break in and unload; stay near Luis for both
items he may give and to help each other. Try to keep villagers from entering
the cabin; watch out for Plagas, they are what make this a tough area as Luis
will usually aim for the head. He provides a good way to earn kills so keep him
close. Stay near the stairs, but don't whimp out of getting good dropped items.
Use healing items when needed and be a surgeon with the shotgun.
*If you got the goods, don't be shy on blasting shells wildly.*
*Note: going upstairs to funnel the bottom enemies in the first level usually
never worked for me, so just fight it out on the first level.*
*In both rooms, seriously, one hand grenade to the center and the whole place
will clear without either of you taking damage. Only do it when you are mobbed
by enemies.*
When Luis says, "Upstairs Leon!" go, because enemies will enter from the top
level. Quickly grab any items and drop the ladders as they come. This is where
it gets really tricky, as enemies now come from all sides! I let Luis do a lot
of the work as I would knock down ladders and shoot enemies. Use grenades if
needed, but save your flashes. Stay near a ladder and knock it down periodi-
cally while you shoot Ganados (just hope Luis covers you). Anyway, the battle
ends at some point and you are free to collect the items around the area.
*This battle will end, don't worry about that; and if you run out of shells,
consider going into the fetal position where Ashley is hiding (kidding).*
*Avoid shooting Luis too much, as he will kill you*
Several ammo boxes are near the house outside, as is a merchant, a paper, and
a save point. Save and grab whatever stuff seems good in preparation for
another fight with EL Gigante. Choose the right-hand path and proceed.
*Make sure your TMP is fully upgraded and you have two flash grenades*
*PRO TIP: Get another rocket, especially if you lack either the TMP
or flash grenades. If you need space, and you plan to trade in the Shotgun,
go ahead and sell it now. You don't need it anymore.*
*Note: Yes, you may go through the left path, but I don't like it that much. It
seems to take a lot more effort while you get less in return. Also, you have
already fought one Gigante before, so it should be easier. All that is worth
noting on the left side is a gem for the mask, big woop. And I know you're not
reading this and are a whimp! Shame shame.*
***************************
2.3 Round 2 With EL Gigante (2003r2g)
***************************
+BOSS: EL Gigante, again+
+All items are in your path, including the key+
This time, it should be a cakewalk for you. I know there are many things in
this area to help you, but with a 100 clip of TMP bullets it is easier just
to fight him in the first area.
Equip your flash grenades and run forward. Let Ashley run back to you then
throw a flash; as before, get out your TMP and unload until he reveals the
parasite. Tell Ashley to wait then run up and cut it.
Easy as that; do it again and make sure you press the correct buttons to dodge
his collapse. Unless you do something horribly wrong, that should be it; that
was all I had to do. Maybe I cut the parasite faster this time; so cut it fast
as well!
*PRO TIP: Stand back and fire a rocket over Ashley's big head. Yeah!*
*Did you notice that this time he faded away?*
*Note: This fight is optional. You can knock boulders onto him, shoot up the
doors, and grab the key to exit, but that's crazy! Be a good gamer and fight!
Only run if you have absolutely nothing to fight him with; and in which case I
would tell YOU to restart the game.*
After the battle, kick the door open and collect the plethora of items that you
would'a missed if you chickened out. Then break a crate on the side and get an
ammo on a the wall as well. Shoot the gem from a bucket up high. Grab the key
and make your way to the exit.
*Note: If you wish, turn around and go back to the lever to take the left path.
All I will say is HIDE Ashley.*
****************
2.3 Last Defense (2003ldf)
****************
*********************************MERCHANT(x2)**********************************
*May be some ammo on a trash can.*
Go to the shack to grab the items and the last paper for the area, and save.
You can talk to the merchant, but no need. Just proceed past the big gate to
the chairlift thingy, and then snipe the two waiting Ganados on the left side.
And then get on (just get on at anytime). Try to snipe oncoming enemies in
groups of two or more, and no, you do not need headshots, just hit them. Be on
the lookout as enemies will just magically end up on lifts at the end.
*NOTE: if you really rock, you will only need six bullets. That means there are
six cars of enemies.*
*Don't reload the rifle unless you are completely out; it's not a big deal.*
Collect the items in the lockers in the control station and go down the stairs.
Leave Ashley and go to the pathway into the cliff; get your handgun ready. As
soon as you round the corner, shoot the bomb in the villager's hand. Proceed up
the ladder and take out the last Ganados in the area, then collect your final
catseye for the Beerstein.
*Place all three catseyes into the cup, and put both gems into the mask. You
will now be empty of treasures.*
Go back, scoop up Ashley, and go down to the merchant (two in one area?). Grab
any ammo, sell the Beerstein, sell the mask, and save; onto the last boss fight
of the section. The TMP should be upgraded as much as possible if you have it.
Other than that, you don't need to buy anything.
*Alternate Choice: you will only need four incendiaries, but almost anything
will work; even four extra hand grenades. *
*PRO TIP: DON'T buy a rocket. We will use other tricks to get past this boss.*
*************************
2.3 Battle With the Chief (2003bwc)
*************************
+BOSS: Village Chief Mendez+
+You will get the eye needed to exit the Village+
*FYI, the shotgun is the weapon of choice, but if you don't have that then you
better have the TMP and alot of bullets.*
Before you get near the shed make sure you have full health, full clips of
ammo for all guns except the rifle, and at least one grenade in hand. When you
enter the shed be ready for a quick button press after you've been slammed to
the ground.
You need to choose one of these two methods to destroy the first form of this
boss. Both work really well, so it depends on which one you qualify for.
*******************************************************************************
This fight has been made easier thanks to Sgt Zeke. He has pointed out a very
useful trick that hopefully works on the Cube and PS2, at least.
*On the Cube, all that is different is that there is more junk in the way of
your view.*
You can run around and try to fight him like a man, but if you would rather not
waste a lot of health and ammo for this first section of the fight then listen
to me. From the start point, turn around and go up the ladder. Run to the left
and then south, but stop when you get behind a 'pillar' structure. You should
be near the other ladder and you should be able to see the ground through the
pillar. When he makes his way to your side, hug the wall and he should walk in
place.
*You must be directly behind the structure and next to the wall, or else he
may swipe at you.*
*Also, you may need to use his targeting to wrestle him into place, it is a
little hard to explain. Just think of you two as connected by a line that will
not bend, it is straight.*
Mendez might take a swing at you, but he should not reach. He will try to get
a better position to attack you from the ground. You will see him start to walk
your way, and he will get to the direct opposite side of the pillar. If you did
this correctly, he will walk in place and never be able to reach you. He should
just walk in one spot, but he may also do a little back-and-forth thing in a
small area. He may also break free and go to a side; all you have to do is get
him back into the spot by going in the opposite direction.
Now that he is stuck in place, whip out your handgun and shoot him through the
structure until he separates. This is highly recommended for PRO. Only takes
about 50 bullets to sever his torso.
*On the Gamecube, I believe it was much easier to outmanuveur him on the ground
so this may be unneeded, but it works just as well*
*******************************************************************************
*******************************************************************************
*Alternate Choice: This is a cool trick that works really well. Really, you
could use eight Incendiary Grenades and be done.
You have to toss, let him stagger and regain himself, and then toss again. You
may be able to just keep chucking away, but then your timing will be off. And
regular grenades will work too.
For the second form, you could even do the same.
Thanks to Dustin Orner for giving me this tip!*
*******************************************************************************
Okay, thanks guys. Now I will combine both tips into one solid tip.
Toss the incendiary/frag grenade as soon as the battle starts. Now turn and
climb up the ladder. Go to the left and around the corner and stop behind the
pillar. Now shoot him through the pillar and the job is cut. Simple.
The best plan for the swinging torso is to run up the ladder behind you. Turn
to the right and stand right next to where you picked up the yellow herb. Wait
for him to swing near you, but let him settle into his spot before you go and
shoot. What I mean is don't shoot him as he is in his swinging animation or
the blast won't count. It's hard to do, and possibly has no effect either way.
And from the yellow herb position he can reach you, but hopefully you would
have shot him down before he could; and if you shoot him down to the walkway
that you're standing on, switch sides because he will pop up right in front of
you.
The shotgun is the weapon of choice, but a fully upgraded TMP should do fine
too.
*You could stay on the ground for the torso battle too, and continue tossing
grenades under him, but staying on the ground is the wrong way to go.*
*Wii Tip: I found this on the Wii, so I would think it works on the others
as well. What I did was, for the torso battle, was climb up the ladder, went
to the LEFT as far as I could, he followed, and he ended up on the farthest
side that he could get to; basically, when you blast him from this position,
he will fall to the upper level walkway, not the ground. And he should now stay
up here with you. Next I scooted over a couple of steps so that the vertical,
wooden beam was about on the right of me (I know this is hard to follow). From
here, and with him stuck on the farthest side, he will now try to take swipes
at you, but if you are just out of his range he will miss. But he will keep
trying, and he will keep missing. And you can keep blasting your way to victory
at last! Probably works on the other side too.*
*Wii NOTE: It seems that he won't as easily be knocked to the ground. That is
what allowed the last tip to happen.*
After he is dead, pick up everything. Shoot the red barrel for a spinel. Ten
items in all, not including the jewel, bars, and eye. Jump out and exit.
*********************
*Don't reload any weapon! All you need is ONE bullet in the rifle*
(unless you plan to keep your weapons)
Go back up, save if needed, but you don't need to stop by the merchants. Go up
the chairlift (no enemies), go to the Retinal Scan and use the eye to exit.
*This ends the VILLAGE section of the game, first third of RE4*
**************
2.3 The Castle (2003cas)
**************
Get out your rifle, but do not fire! Go up the path until the car comes down
the trail and fire at the driver; quickly turn around and go toward the back
to avoid being run over. Quickly run up the hill and when you pass the truck
a whole mess of villagers will come. Run to the left side and smash the barrels
in the open spot for some stuff, since you have time. Then run until you see
the final scene of the village Ganados.
*Don't cry, you will meet them again*
Welcome to the CASTLE!
*******************
3.1 Castle Entrance (3001cet)
*******************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Smash all crates in the area, may have a snake in one, and grab the gold bars
in the chest. Go into the shack, snag the herb, and meet this most crucial of
merchants in the game.
Sell your handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle; buy the Blacktail, Riot Gun, and Semi-
Auto Rifle. These shinny new weapons are about at the level of their former
selves with only a small margin of lessness (they have smaller capacity than
their predecessors). And of course buy the attache case Large upgrade for the
much needed room. Then you may get any number of upgrades available; I got the
Riot gun's power, Blacktail's all available, but you don't need anything for
the rifle just yet. Get the scope for this rifle too. Also, if you bought the
TMP, go ahead and upgrade it too.
*NOTE: It you held off on the TMP because of space for those rockets, then now
is the time to buy it if you wish. There are no bosses for a long time. Or,
you could continue selling the TMP ammo you find and skip the gun altogether.
It's not required for the game. That said, I still say get it, but skip the
stock for it. Try to save the ammo for it too and only use as a last resort.*
*NOTE: If you kept the Punisher, then you don't have to buy the Blacktail.
Just know that the Punisher will be about half as powerful as the Blacktail
when both are fully upgraded, but all else is about even.*
*NOTE: Buy the Mine thrower, but not the scope. Will be like more grenades.
But only buy if you have lots of space.*
*NOTE: Yes, you may keep every weapon and buy whatever, but you will get plenty
of money to buy anything in this runthrough. However, if you want to challenge
yourself a bit you can keep these weapons and never change; this means less
effort to obtain the new weapons in a Round 2. The old weapons will prove to
be archaic as they only upgrade to a point, which the newer weapons can easily
pass. All depends on your skill level.*
*NOTE: Yes, there are two other new guns: the Broken Butterfly and the Mine
Thrower. The BB will be free later so don't buy it, ever. The MT is great if
you're into that sort of thing*
*NOTE: The Riot Gun is a small improvement on the upgraded shotgun, but does
have improved handling. However, you won't have the Riot Gun for long either.
It will be sold by the last third of the game. Give it a few upgrades here
and there if you do buy it.*
Get the new Rifle out and proceed to the first Castle fight, and it's a big
one (not really).
*FINAL NOTE: You are out of the Village, so you no longer need to save your
grenades and shotgun shells. In fact, you will use them quite a bit in the
Castle. I will let you know when to hold onto stuff though.*
************************
3.1 A Castle Under Siege (3001cus)
************************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
*Do not leave Ashley by the door, or anywhere, she will be carried away*
When you turn the corner, you will see two monk Ganados on the upper ledge.
Shoot the one farther left then the other before he takes off. Grab the ammo
on the crate and go up the stairs to begin the barrage.
When the rocks land run quickly to the area where the monks patrolled. Go over
to the cannon and grab any items. Now come back to the stairs and run forward
just a bit so that you're under an archway. Look up and snipe the lead cultist
in red. Now run up the stairs, but pause on like the third to last step. Look
to the right with your rifle and snipe the catapult driver in the distance, and
snipe the cultist inside the little shack (don't shoot the helmet and he needs
two bullets). Now quickly run forward so that you can look to the area below
(you're looking down to where the barrage started firing at you). If you were
quick enough you should see two monks down below; and if you don't then that
means they are coming up the steps.
*Wii Tip: Actually, everyone can do this, but it's easiest on the Wii where the
rifle's little red arrows on the corners let you know when you got a target in
your sights. From the cannon doorway on the bottom, look up through the open
area and see the catapult, but you can't see the driver. Well, you can. A full
sliver of his head is visible, and it will bob in and out of sight as he sways.
So just barely hit this sliver and you will make the job a bit easier; might
need to reposition yourself a bit.*
Now run across the bridge and behind the shack so that you find the chest.
Leave Ashley here. Get the three items in the shack and stay in. Now you should
be able to snipe the engine driver on the left, and then run across the bridge
and into the smaller shack to snipe the last one. Turn the crank and then fire.
Go toward the exit door and slash the torch to get a free gem. Now talk to guy.
He offers you an upgrade for the Riot Gun, so take it. That should be all. Now
exit through the door.
*************************
3.1 Castle Quarters Combat (3001cqc)
*************************
*Here will be your first run-in with the instant-kill Las Plagas*
Grab the stuff in here including the sword on the wall. If you wish to play it
safe, then go to the bottom of the stairs and tell Ashley to wait. This should
trigger the cultists to approach and allow you to pick them off as they come
down. When you run upstairs another group will enter from below. You want to
toss incendiaries as they come up and finish them off with the handgun or
whatever. Then snipe the red guy and his Plagas.
*NOTE: If they don't bite on you calling to Ashley, then just poke your head
up the steps and go back down.*
Replace the swords and put them in their matching place to exit, but don't
forget the items littering the room (cabinets).
****************
3.1 Castle Guard (3001cgd)
****************
+Key+
Go forward for a run-in with Luis, afterward leave Ashley there and go through
the small door. Kill cultists as they come out. When they stop go around the
building where the red barrel is and shoot the guy if he is in the doorway
(when he comes to you, shoot the red barrel if he gets near it). Kill any
remaing Ganados then collect the items inside. Go to the window near the door
and snipe a guy up high. Go out through the door and when you round the
corner of the building snipe the waiting cultist at the end of the path;
another will come, just snipe him through his shield and proceed.
*Wii Note: Don't worry about the first group of bad guys, they will all come
at you at one time.*
In the small room gather the items (see the red barrel? I had success using it
on the Gamecube every time). When you nab the key to the castle, some guys will
pour in to get you (I would always shoot the barrel and that would be it). Aim
for the barrel and take out whoever remains (on the PS2, they would pour in by
little waves and I could not get them in one shot).
*Wii Note: It's the same as the Gamecube, in that all of the enemies that rush
in will do it as one; not in two groups as the PS2.*
Back to the gate, grab Ashley and enter the Castle.
**************************
3.1 Prisoner of the Castle (3001poc)
**************************
+MINI BOSS: GARRADOR #1+
Go up and see the new enemy of the castle section. Collect the items in jars
and look up over the archway for a gem; save.
*Yes, you are taking a big detour in order to advance*
In the next room, two barrels, a jar, gold behind a portrait, ammo on a chair,
yellow herb, a paper, and the key to the prison. Also, before you enter the
prison look through the window where you smashed the jar and shoot the ammo
from the wooden beam.
This prison holds a new enemy type, the Garrador. I consider them a mini boss
and will tell you how to beat them now. Grab the herb and ready yourself.
Walking into the cell activates him, so quickly back out. Notice the two
curiously placed bells in the prison? They are your friend in this spot, so
break out the Blacktail and shoot a bell. The blind Garrador will get his
claw stuck in the wall where the bell was; now whip out your trusty rifle and
fire at his Plaga. IF you are lucky he will stagger into a position allowing
yet another shot at the Plaga; only shoot it from the side or back. When he
is on his feet, he may charge the spot you last shot from so back away.
*The mines work good to stagger him for a sniper bullet*
*NOTE: NEVER RUN AROUND THESE GUYS! Walk.*
Shoot the other bell and snipe him again. Now the waiting game begins; he will
walk around the center pillar waiting for you; you should do the same waiting
for the perfect shot. Use hand grenades by throwing them behind him. Four
rifle shots and he is finished. Collect the prize and pull the lever in the
cell.
*PRO TIP: Shoot at him while standing by a wall and then move to the side to
let him get stuck in the wall.*
*Wii Note: He seemed dumber than usual.*
Go back for Ashley and some cult dudes will approach, shoot the lantern to burn
a few alive. Handle the rest and round the corner, if you are fast enough, you
can shoot the dynamite in the bomber's hand to take the group out. Otherwise,
avoid being blown up and kill the archers. If the bomber fled he will be by
another cult follower to the left in the next room. Grab the ammo and get a
hand grenade (along with your wits) ready for the next battle.
***************************
3.1 Assault of the Cultists (3001atc)
***************************
*Whatever you do in this area, try to save as many rounds of rifle ammo as you
can for the last part.*
*PRO TIP: This area is most difficult on PRO, and it will be just as hard if
you have done well on NORMAL.*
Run forward and chuck your grenade up the middle. Whip out the old Riot gun and
blast away. The cultists will try to swarm you so don't allow it. Keep Ashley
safe since it is particularly easy for them to carry her away. Try to back up
to a corner. Remember, shields are unaffected by handguns. More will pour in
from the sides as you waste the originals. Sitting in a corner seems the best
idea.
*PRO TIP: If you rock or are playing PRO you should expect two archers. They
make the strategy of running around and blasting a bad idea. So instead (and
even without the archers you may want to consider this) run forward after you
toss the grenade and enter the room with the pressure pads. Don't step on them
just yet. It will be a long waiting game of letting the bad guys come into the
room and your picking them off; watch the hole in the ceiling too. When there
is a long period of silence, come outside, make sure the ground enemies are
dead, and then play peek-a-boo with the archers (use the rifle or mine darts).*
*WUSS TIP: (Ha, new idea) you could die two times and the game will figure that
you really suck and it will take out the two archers. This makes the first set
of bad guys much easier as you can just camp in a corner by the water pools and
pick off enemies. But this also makes you a wuss! (obviously I'VE never done
this...)*
*PRO TIP: The alternative is to chuck a grenade and then immediately whip out
the rifle and snipe the two archers. This will more than likely cause you to
take a hit, but if you don't mind then do this instead of all the other stuff.*
When all is clear collect the items around the water area, then go down the
stairs and take out some cult people. Smash the jars, enter the room, collect
the items, leave Ashley on one pad, and you stand on the other. Don't rush
outside just yet. Instead call Ashley to your side and wait. Cultists will
come in through the doorway two at a time, and two will drop from the hole in
the ceiling. When the coast seems clear, exit and deal with the rift-raft that
remains. Leave Ashley in a spot, then snipe the archers on the ledges one at a
time by going to the opposite side and popping out while they reload. Do it two
times and then go to the raised crank; either put Ashley on it or do it
yourself if the coast is clear.
*PRO TIP: Doing well will make five enemies rush down the new steps when you
drop it. Either toss a grenade or blast away.*
Collect the items on either side up here then proceed; Ashley will let you in
on what to do next. Grab the ammo in the jars then PIGGYBACK Ashley to the
right side (just a preference). Get out your rifle and snipe the cultists on
her side first, then shoot any approaching you, and then any on the opposite
ledge. After that, shoot any more coming after her. Only two waves should
bother you. She will bring the first platform up and then switch sides. Kill
the guys on the side she is approaching. Rinse and repeat. Once the last
platform is up, go to the CATCH point and catch; cross the water to kiss this
place goodbye.
*Wii Note: Well, if you're low on sniper ammo, yeah, your handgun is just as
well; you just won't get the red target, but you will hit.*
*Don't reload any empty weapons if you want to get free ammo.*
*********************
3.1 Moment of Silence (3001mos)
*********************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Items all around, there is also a spinel in the eye of a hanging statue.
This merchant allows some nice upgrading. So do so as you wish. Once you
are done, go inside the blue door. At least grab and read the paper for the
shooting range. I recommend not wasting time here. If you must, do a few rounds
and collect the first row of bottle caps for a cash reward.
Back in the room, save. Go up the hall for a scene. This is nice, now you are
free to think about yourself only. When the scene is over enter the door on
the wall.
*PRO TIP: Save the Hand Grenade from this room; just have one by dinner time.*
*******************
3.2 Dungeon of Doom (3002fdod)
*******************
*Any rifle bullet to the eye for these guys means death. So if you trust your
skills, you can try for the one shot kills*
*Wii Note: And of course, it's easier on the Wii.*
Grab the stuff and enter the sewers. Walk forward and notice the sound in the
hole on the left wall? Turn the corner and go into the tunnel with the crate at
the end, then come back and pull out your rifle. Aim toward the end of the hall
and do you see it? Shoot where the breath is eminating from. Proceed and
collect the colored eye he dropped (you just killed a Novistador). Proceed with
caution by hugging the wall opposite the railing; when you reach the corner aim
into the pit and shoot the waiting Novistadors in the water. Jump down and grab
the various items in the water, don't miss the pipe, and climb up.
*The eye color depends on what color its eyes were when it died; in order of
value and rarity: blue, red, and green*
Open the door and pull out your shotgun for the prison part. You may as well
walk up and fight the enemy in the hole in the ceiling, though it is possible
to snipe him I never pulled it off. Aim for the head of course, but be warned
that when they are knocked down they usually fling themselves to the ceiling
and come after you. Be a surgeon with the your Riot Gun. Another is in a cell
so get him to come out; the music still plays. Go up the hallway and hug the
left wall, as soon as you can look around the corner pull out your Rifle and
take out the last Novistador. Go back to the first part and collect the various
items in the cells, as well as a very informative paper on parasites.
*Wii Tip: Ha! I knew it would. Don't run into the prison area with guns
blazin'. Take out your rifle and look to the drool coming from the hole in the
ceiling. Yes, the red corners will light up and you can kill this guy before
he sees you. The rest are the same.*
Go back up the hallway, through the cells, and into the pump room. Grab the
things in here including a cool Butterfly Lamp that takes the three colors of
eyes. Turn the valve and whip out your Rifle, again. Open the door and barely
tiptoe out just so you can see the two insects clinged to the ceiling-hole.
Shoot them one at a time and collect their items, then run back to the first
hallway but bring your riot gun with you as an enemy will burst out of the last
closed cell. There may be another to drop from the hole in the ceiling; depends
on your progress. Drop down into the water pit and RUN through the door. Stop
when you just pass the door and turn around. Blast him and stay behind the
doorway. The bug can only get you by crawling along the ground, so just keep
your sight in the doorway and he can't get through. There is a velvet blue in
the corner of the water.
*PRO TIP: And if you are good, the bug will be in the ceiling hole after the
last one from the cell.*
*Remember the sound in the very first sewer? You can go all the way back for
another Novistador eye (not worth it).*
Go up the steps collecting the items then go to the final part of this area.
Pendulums! You need only a small background in platform gaming to pass these
blades. Get right in front of them, when they pass by you immediately run
forward, and repeat with jumping where appropriate. Grab the treasure on the
floor, climb up, and grab the last items. Get out a grenade and exit.
*With any luck you may or may not have a completed Lamp, don't worry if not*
******************
3.2 Leon's Ambush! (3002leo)
******************
*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
*Use any kind of grenade. Flash means you have to kill all the guys; Flame
means you will have to kill survivors; and Frag means you will clear the mob.*
Yes, time to plan your own trap. There are many ways to proceed: you could just
scare them off and not worry, take out a few, or you could get the whole gang.
I recommend going to the edge on the left, by the ladder. Take out your frag
and toss it through the opening. Then hop down from the ladder and run to the
typewriter to close off the area. Now the trap is complete and all you have to
do is finish off the leader and a minion or two.
Go back up to the ledge with the ladder in the back, and cross to the other
side with the chandelier. Grab the items and cross to the other side with the
other chandelier; snag the mask and pull the lever. Meet with the merchant and
upgrade as you see fit, but don't sell all your eyes, you need them for the
lamp. Save, and then exit through the top door.
*Here is the deal with the lamp and the eyes. If you got a B+R+G eye set, then
put each into the lamp and sell it. If you cannot complete the lamp, then
save the eyes and lamp for later. Otherwise, just sell all of it.*
*You may be tempted to max out the Riot Gun, but it is going to be phased out
in a little while, so keep that in mind. Maybe just stop upgrading past this
point. The capacities are okay though.*
*****************
3.2 The Big Block (3002tbb)
*****************
*PRO TIP: Make sure to save at least one Frag for a later area.*
Nab the herb and go into the next room. Get the ammo and paper on the table, go
out the door with rifle in hand. Don't move and quickly snipe the two archers,
snipe the two masked dudes, and then off the cultist below. One more is on the
other side of the center column, don't let him scare you; smash all the pots
and then enter the door. Smash the barrels and kill the enemy at the top of the
stairs. Go to the balcony, grab the ammo on the table, and get the rifle out;
go to the locked door then jump down.
*A red barrel is by the archers as well.*
If you do the following correctly, I believe you can snipe the red cultist on
the balcony before having to chase the gatling gun. Turn around and snipe him
quickly, it will take quite a few shots; good job if you kill him! If not, then
he will go through the door. Grab the shotgun shells and pesetas then follow
his lead; get out the shotgun. As soon as you open the door, blast him before
he runs, or run around the shieldist to chase him down; good job if you take
him out now! If not, handle the dude and prepare to dodge a barrage of bullets
(I believe your first run-in with modern weaponry). Run out the door in between
the bullets and avoid being hit by running around the base of the gun. Shotgun
his back as he reloads, and then grab the key once he falls. The more damage
you do before he rides the gun, the shorter the fight.
*Okay, duh. Can't believe no one told me, or that I didn't find this during my
10 billion other playthroughs. The trick to killing the red cult
