Every story has a beginning, every play has an opening, every game has a
starting point...

Every FAQ has an introduction... or something that resembles one.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Way back in the year of 1996, I first had the chance to play a horror game
known as Resident Evil. I had been a horror movie fan for quite a while before
the release and I was amazed at how much the game established a horror movie
setting - even complete with voice acting. Ever since then I have followed the
series religiously from console to console, literally letting its presence
decide which gaming console I will get next.

I bought a Dreamcast when it shifted to Sega's console and a Gamecube when the
main series was announced for the last generation Nintendo console. My current
favorite Resident Evil is CVX, but Resident Evil 4 has ramped up the gameplay
quite a bit since then. The new action style gameplay is intense and
satisfying as hell making the killing sprees all the more satisfying, because
of this -

Casualties continue to mount over the long years I have struggled.

Yeah, many Ganados and Zealots died in the making of my previous RE4 and
Separate Ways treasure FAQs. The body count isn't going to stop there though,
it still continues even as you read this. Oho, I know what you're thinking:
"ANOTHER walkthrough for Resident Evil 4? Good god man, stop hitting that poor
animal - the mutilated horse has been long since dead, just leave it be!"
Well, I have wanted to write a complete guide for Resident Evil 4 for quite a
while, but the Gamecube version came and went, and so did the PS2 version -

More and more I find myself wondering if it's all worth fighting (writing) for.

Having played through RE4 multiple times on three different systems I can
promise you that I know it extremely well. Professional mode? It's been
completed once for all three systems. The Mercenaries five star ranking? The
same. The main mode of RE4? Well -

Who knows?

Not even I do. Looking away from that, as I've already said, this game has
been covered beyond covered and I don't know how well this guide will hold up
with the other great guides already on the various gaming sites - that's for
you to decide -

But there's one thing I do know...


I have a job to do and I'm gonna' see it through!

That job? Making sure to cover Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition as thoroughly as
possible and giving you, the reader, the most descriptive guide I can write in
the process. I have spent quite a bit of time on this guide, and hopefully
that effort has paid off. This intro? Well, I spent about 10 minutes on it.

If you got that pun of my buddy, Chris Redfield, up above then you deserve a
cookie + red herb mixture. By the way, if you haven't watched the latest
trailer for Resident Evil 5 yet then do yourself a favor and visit the link
below...

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22801.html

The Resident Evil 5 trailer literally served as my background noise while
writing this walkthrough. The sounds of savage villagers put me at ease.

Please read on and enjoy the rest of the guide.

All the basic information about Resident Evil 4 is detailed here. The tips
section may be worth a read for experienced players. Who knows? You might
learn something you didn't know.

*******************************************************************************
BASIC COMMANDS [BC00]
*******************************************************************************

>> Reloading

a) Hold the B button then perform a down - up motion with the Wii-mote.
b) Hold the B button then tap a direction (any direction) on the D-pad of the
Wii-mote.

To reload with a controller, hold the R button and press B.

>> Slashing with the Knife

a) Perform a slashing motion from right to left with the Wii-mote.
b) Hold C on the nunchuk (L on controller) then press A on the Wii-mote (or
controller.

>> Special Attacks

Leon can perform two special physical attacks when fighting a human-like enemy.
These special attacks should be mastered since they are quite helpful. Leon is
invincible during both of these animations.

- Roundhouse Kick

Shoot a human-like enemy in the head then run up and press A as the enemy
staggers. The "kick" command will appear when standing next to a
straggling enemy.

- Straight Kick or Suplex

Shoot the bottom of a human-like enemy's leg to make the enemy fall on
his/her knees. Quickly approach the enemy for a "Kick" or "Suplex"
command then press the A button to perform the action.

Ganados = Straight Kick
Zealots and Soldier Ganados = Suplex

>> Ashley Controls

- Catching Ashley

In order for Ashley to get down from high places, Leon much catch her by
pressing the A button when the icon appears. Both of them are invincible
during this animation.

- Following and waiting commands

Press the + button (X with controller) to have Ashley wait in place.
Press the button again to have Ashley follow Leon. It can turn into a
game of "Red Light, Green Light" and Ashley is a pro player.

- Have her hide in red containers

While near a red container, press the + button (X with controller) to have
Ashley hide in the crate when the button icon appears. Press the button
again to have here pop out. Leon whistles to Ashley like an owner does to
a dog and Ashley responds like a little puppy does to its master's
command.

>> Saving the Game

Like all Resident Evil's, approach a typewriter to save your game. Watch for
the "Save" command. Unlike the other games in the series, RE4 does not require
ink ribbons in order to save progress allowing the player to save an infinite
number of times.

There is no way to delete individual saves without deleting the main save file,
so don't clog all twenty save slots unless you don't mind the multitude of
saved games. Overwriting is the only option for disposing of a prior save.

*******************************************************************************
ITEMS [IT00]
*******************************************************************************

Item pickups are spread throughout the main game of RE4 and other modes just
like in other RE games. Find the items lying in an area, in a box or other
breakable object or from enemy drops.

>> Items lying in the Area

Most of the time, the items that lie in an area (in the open) will always be
the same from game to game, which is why they are labeled in the walkthrough.

>> Box and other Breakable Objects

Use Leon's knife in order to break these types of objects to possibly receive a
random item. Sometimes the items will be the same in each game but most the
boxes contain random items.

>> Enemy Drops

Once enemies are defeated, they will drop an item that will glow one of three
colors to represent what type of item they drop.

-- Red = Ammo
-- Blue = Pesetas
-- Green = Recovery

*******************************************************************************
GENERAL TIPS [GT00]
*******************************************************************************

-- Destroy breakable objects with the knife

In the Wii version, Leon will automatically target a breakable object with the
knife, so it's even easier now to break open boxes, barrels, or vases with the
knife. Only use a gun to break open objects in Battle Mode (The Mercenaries)
where time is crucial.

-- Look for the blue flames

The merchant usually has blue flames around him to signal that he is open for
business!

-- Shoot enemies in the head or knees

Always go for the head or knees and take advantage of the special attack that
Leon will gain for extra damage without the need for weapons. If an enemy is
running toward you then shoot him in the knees to instantly make that enemy
fall flat on his face and expose his head to Leon.

-- Take advantage of special attacks for crowd control

Pick out one enemy from a crowd and shoot the enemy in the head then run toward
him and kick him to possible knock down the whole crowd around him in the
process. Remember that Leon is invincible once the animation starts! This can
be risky sometimes however since enemies will sometimes stagger backward into
the crowd once shot.

-- Make an enemy drop a weapon

Shoot the arm that is holding a weapon to make an enemy drop the currently
equipped weapon. This is mainly useful for enemies that carry a large weapon.
Enemies with throwing weapons (such as axes) will only take out another once a
weapon is dropped.

Another way to disarm an enemy is to knock that enemy down with a kick.

-- Shoot thrown weapons or darts before they reach Leon

With the Wii-mote this is much easier than before. Shoot whatever weapon is
thrown or shot toward Leon to instantly make it ricochet away from Leon.

-- Slash enemies with a knife while they are down

Low on ammo? Perform a special kick or other attack on enemies then aim
downward (C button aim recommended) and slash at them while they are grounded.
Keep in mind that you can slash an enemy in the face to make the enemy stagger
then kick him to avoid using ammo for the stunning process.

Using a knife on a fallen enemy works much better in Professional mode where
enemies are tougher and ammo is slightly scarce; it's really not needed for
normal mode.

-- Dealing with Las Plagas (Plagas heads)

If an enemy "Plagases out" on Leon, throw a flash grenade to instantly kill the
Plagas. This works on ANY type of Plagas, even the little spider types.

Another good method is to use a rifle and aim directly at the Plagas then shoot
for an instant kill. The TMP sometimes works well if you aim for the head
while shooting also.

-- Dealing with shielded enemies

Shoot a shielded enemy with a shotgun blast from up close to instantly break
his shield. A rifle shot will pierce right through a shield - shoot a shielded
enemy at the top portion of his shield with a rifle and you might just pop his
head. A TMP is good for eating away at shields as well - go for the legs and
keep firing.

Also, the Punisher handgun will automatically fire right through shields, which
can really help out for when you don't want to switch to a shotgun while
shooting Zealots.

-- Dealing with flamers (Ganados with torches)

When a Ganado carries a torch, wait for him to walk up to Leon and shoot him as
he attempts to breathe fire to set him ablaze. Be warned that some Ganados
will actually swing the torches at Leon however.

-- Bosses fear the rocket launcher

Most bosses and big enemies will fall by shooting them with one rocket from the
rocket launcher. For bosses with two forms, the second portion of the battle
will begin after one hit from the rocket launcher. El Gigantes fall with one
hit from the rocket launcher without even having to worry about hitting their
Plagas.

-- Skip cutscenes when enemies descend/appear

Keep dying at one portion of the game because you have little time to react?
There are a few fights where you can skip the cutscene of the enemies preparing
for battle in order to react quicker. This is especially useful with the cage
trap in the castle.

-- There's something behind you

Most of the humanoid enemies will respond in a certain way when they are behind
Leon. The Ganados will yell out a certain phrase in Spanish and the Zealots
will laugh. Learn the different reactions and you can take action before an
enemy sneaks up behind Leon.

-- Running slightly faster

Equip a grenade or an egg (yes, an egg) and Leon will have both arms free
allowing him to run a bit faster. He also runs faster with the Rocket
Launchers equipped since they are strapped to his back.

-- Swinging on chandeliers

To always make a chandelier swing on the first try, keep tapping the A button
as Leon starts to swing. Once the button icon appears then Leon will
immediately leap to the other side of whatever platform he is trying to reach.

*******************************************************************************
ESCORTING TIPS [ET00]
*******************************************************************************

-- Keep Ashley behind Leon at all times

Make sure that Ashley is always behind Leon. If she is in front then be sure
to wait for her to duck before firing. While she is behind Leon, Ashley will
always get behind him while Leon aims with his gun!

-- Do not lead Ashley into crowds with Leon

Tell her to wait in a safe location while charging into crowds. Don't leave
her alone for too long however.

-- Clear her path of traps

Don't lead her through a bear trap or other type of trap (C4).

-- Heal Ashley every time she takes damage

The best way to heal her is with eggs (white eggs) since she has such a small
life bar at the beginning. Give her yellow herbs to increase her life bar.

Don't throw the eggs at her. They do no harm but- Well, ok you can toss a few
at her.

-- Dealing with kidnappers

When an enemy grabs her and tries to walk away with her, shoot the enemy in the
legs to make him instantly drop Ashley. The shotgun works well to drop a
kidnapper as well. As long as Leon does not aim directly at Ashley she will
not get hit.

Throwing a flash grenade will make an enemy drop Ashley as well.

-- Never aim if you want Ashley to move

When Leon aims, Ashley will always duck and take cover if she is in front of
Leon. If you want her to move then Leon will have to stop aiming. This can be
a little annoying at some parts.

-- An enemy in the area

Keep an eye on Ashley as she runs behind Leon and she will look to the side
when an enemy is near.

-- Ashley will dodge along with Leon

When dodging an attack via an on-screen sequence, Ashley will not get hit by
the attack as long as Leon dodges it. A perfect example is when El Gigante
falls in the Right path in the village and when a knight swings and axe as
Leon. Ashley will duck down and the objects will pass right through her while
Leon dodges out of the way.

*******************************************************************************
TREASURE TIPS [TT00]
*******************************************************************************

-- Always combine treasures when possible

Combined treasure will yield a greater value when sold to the merchant. Be
sure to keep two Blue Eyes for a replay game's two Butterfly Lamps since Blue
Eyes are very rare most of the time.

-- Hoard EVERY item!

If Leon doesn't have a weapon for a certain type of ammo, grab it anyway and
sell it to the merchant. Before leaving a merchant, make sure that Leon has
room in his inventory to carry new items; if not then consider selling some
items.

-- Crow Hunting

Shoot any crows that you find in an area. A flash grenade can bring down a
group of crows while they are on the ground. If a crow flies away it will
always fly around up above so you still have a chance to it - an even greater
chance with the Wii-mote. Sometimes a crow will carry treasure or high
quantities of PTAS. A few even carry grenades and ammo!

-- Fishing

Use the knife to slash or use a gun to shoot at fish in the water then collect
them for extra healing items. Throw a single hand grenade into the water to
instantly kill a whole school of fish, just make sure you have the inventory
space to collect them. Sell them to the merchant for Extra PTAS! A large bass
yields 2300 PTAS.

The main game (Leon's game) is the only option of gameplay available from the
start. Six years have passed since the Raccoon City incident involving the
viral outbreak. Leon is in charge of saving the President's daughter (Ashley)
from a cult group in Europe that has kidnapped her and brought her to this side
of the world for reasons yet unknown.

He journeys to a small village in Europe to start his search for Ashley. Leon
will meet up with a horde of savage villagers that seem to be controlled by
something (but what?) as well as a mysterious acquaintance from his past (that
seemed to never wait up on him then and continues to leave him in the dust even
now).

NOTE: Keep in mind that the boss hit points (or life) in the walkthrough is
based on a rough estimate of gunfire that I used while fighting each boss.
Some may not be totally accurate.

Objective: Question the villagers on the whereabouts of Ashley.

Hunnigan will send Leon a ++PLAYING MANUAL++ file after the beginning
cutscenes. View it through the "Files" menu under the inventory menu. Leon
also starts with a ++INFO ON ASHLEY++ file and a ++COMMUNICATION LOG++, which
will be updated after each radio conversation.

The game will start with Leon positioned next to the car that the local police
were driving in the earlier cutscene with a path in front of him. Run down the
path and a cutscene will play once Leon gets near the cabin up ahead. Walk to
the left end of the cabin to find a wooden box that can be broken with a knife
swing or weapon shot - these are located throughout the main game and they will
usually contain a random item.

| * Try to shoot any part of the car (try this on each side of the car) |
| * Try to run across the bridge |
| * Approach the car and talk to each officer |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The truck to the east blocks the east path, so enter the house via the front
door (open [A] or kick it open [double tap A]). Walk into the next room and a
cutscene will activate. A Ganado (or villager) will attack after the cutscene.
Aim at his head or leg and shoot then run up and perform a special attack (A up
close) while he staggers or falls to his knees; shoot him in the head while
he's down to finish him off. A cutscene will play once again.

The Ganados outside will hold the door to trap Leon inside directly after the
cutscene, so he must find another means of escape. If the first Ganado dropped
anything then be sure to grab it. Enemies will drop money (pesetas or salable
items), healing items, and ammo in this game. Check his body for a reference
to the past RE's. This one is not a zombie. Run up the stairs and leap out
the window, or just leap out the window on the bottom floor.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the second floor of the cabin on a table |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Objective: Fight off the hostile locals

Run away just a bit then turn and shoot at the three Ganados. Don't let them
surround Leon - turn and run if they do. Go for their heads or legs to have a
chance at special attacks once they fall.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Extra Cutscene |
|=============================================================================|
| * Walk all the way back to the area where the cop car was and check the |
| side of the cliff next to the bridge for an extra cutscene |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Objective: Investigate the village

Enter the shed down the newly-open path. On the table inside is a typewriter
where the game can be saved and there is also some handgun ammo and breakable
boxes. Continue down the path and some whimpering will be heard from a dog
that got himself trapped in a bear trap. Walk over to him and interact when
the "Help" option appears in order to free him. This dog will help Leon later
if he is freed in this manner. Keep in mind that the signpost with the skulls
will always mean that there are traps nearby for any area that it is located
around them.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table next to the typewriter |
| [ ] Hand Grenade | Kill the crow on the signpost with skulls along the |
| | path |
| [ ] Extra PTAS | Kill the other crow next to the above crow |
| [ ] Red Herb | After reaching the signpost along the trail past the |
| | dog (the one that points to Pueblo Village), check in |
| | the bushes by the tree near the fence. |
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Extra Info |
|=============================================================================|
| * Free the dog and it will help Leon later in the game. Shoot him or leave |
| him and he will not help later. (see first El Gigante fight for details) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

There is an extra bear trap in the bushes to the left so be careful when
walking around that area - hit the bear traps with a knife swing or shoot them
to set them off. Continue along the trail and some C4 traps will become
visible up ahead. The middle area between the trees contains a bear trap;
disarm it and continue. When the Ganado at the top of the hill spots Leon,
walk back through the middle of the trees and get behind one of the tripwires
for the C4 and the Ganado may actually walk through it. Shoot one of the C4
explosives as he walks through the middle if he doesn't set it off himself and
the explosion will most likely kill him.

Further along the path, Leon will be able to enter another shed on the left
side. Enter it and grab the items. Notice the gruesome display along the wall
near the doorway.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Herb | On the shelf next to the small wooden box in the shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Two more Ganados will attack Leon once he moves along the path ahead. Run
across the bridge and a trio of Ganados will see Leon approaching from a hill
up above. These Ganados cannot be shot at so don't waste the ammo. They don't
attack. Strangely, they are never there during a replay game.

Shoot the Ganado in the shed to the left on the other side of the bridge. He
can actually be shot through the small opening along the side of the shed while
approaching it if you're aiming is precise at the right moment.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Follow the path outside and open the gate up ahead.

__ Pueblo Village __

Hunnigan will contact Leon once again at the start of this area and she will
give him a ++PLAYING MANUAL 2++ file. As Leon walks a bit down the trail, he
will get a "Look" option that can be used with the press of the A button. This
will allow him to spy in on the village with the Z (Zoom in) and C (Zoom out)
buttons on the nunchuk.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Extra Scenes |
|=============================================================================|
| * Press the A button when the "Look" option appears. The binoculars were |
| once a normal feature in the GC demo version of RE4 (Japanese demo) where |
| Leon could take them out whenever a certain button was pressed. They |
| were basically useless though. |
| * Enter the middle house with the shotgun |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

This area can be done in several different ways. Do you want to gain every
possible item in this area? Well then, be sure to defeat the chainsaw Ganado
(Dr. Salvador) at the northeast end of the village and defeat the second
chainsaw Ganado that will appear outside after Leon enters the house with the
shotgun.

Do you want to barricade Leon into a house and remain safe until the Ganados
stop attacking? Enter the house with the shotgun and push the bookcase against
the door on the bottom floor. Run upstairs and keep the Ganados from entering
the windows by pushing down the ladder. Shoot the Ganados on the roof with a
weapon as they try to enter from the side. The house across from the house
with the shotgun is a good place to lay low also since Leon can barricade the
door inside as well, but remember that there is only way in and out of that
building! Don't try to stay in the tower on the east end or the Ganados will
throw cocktails up at Leon to force him to climb down.

Here is my usual plan for this area:

Start by running down the path to the south and entering the shed near the
doors on that end of the village. Collect the items from the wooden boxes
inside (one is always a flash grenade) then head back and hug the side wall
while going around the side of the north building (the boarded-up barn). Run
to the northeast. Collect the Green Herb from the logs to the left along the
way and enter the second building by jumping through the window - the female
Ganado nearby will not hear this! Collect the handgun ammo and the items from
the boxes and barrel then exit by jumping through the window. Moving further
to the northeast will alert the female Ganado, so just run up to the box near
her and collect the red herb after breaking it.

Note: The Ganado pushing the wheelbarrow in the middle of the village is the
hardest one to get past without being seen - his vision is superb. Do the
first part of the above strategy as quickly as possible (until entering the
building via the window) after entering the village and Leon will not be
noticed. That particular Ganado will have his back to Leon most of the time
during that time period.

LEON IS DISCOVERED!

Run very fast to the northeast exit. Two Ganados and a chainsaw Ganado will be
guarding the northeast exit to the village. Shoot the Ganado on the left side
in the head since he will run faster than the others and throw a grenade at the
back chainsaw Ganado - this will kill the other two and knock down the chainsaw
Ganado. Rush up to the chainsaw Ganado with the handgun equipped and fire
directly at his head. Fire! Fire! And keep firing at his head even while he
rises then knock him down with a kick when he staggers. Keep constant pressure
on him and he will eventually die. Grab the Ruby from him then use headshots
and kicks to knock down the other Ganados on the way down the path to the
south.

Enter the house with the shotgun to trigger the scene with the second chainsaw
Ganado. Don't barricade anything! Run to the side below the stairs and break
both barrels then collect the Handgun ammo. Climb the stairs then grab the
shotgun from the wall, break the hand grenade out of the glass, collect the
PTAS on the table, grab the shotgun ammo from the nearby table, push down the
ladder then jump outside. Run toward the nearby building then turn directly
around - this way there's less likely to be a Ganado in the back of Leon since
the building is behind him.

The chainsaw Ganado should be right near the house that Leon jumped from. Make
sure that Leon is the center of his attention - that is he is coming for Leon
(shoot him with a bullet if you must) - and throw a hand grenade at him. Run
directly toward him as the hand grenade knocks him down and turn to face the
approaching Ganados. Fire at the chainsaw Ganado with the shotgun directly in
the head while he is down. Fire at any other approaching Ganado if they get
too close. Keep firing until the chainsaw Ganado rises then throw a flash
grenade to stun any Ganados and the chainsaw Ganado. Continue unloading on the
chainsaw Ganado while the others are stunned until he is dead. Make sure that
Leon reloads while the chainsaw Ganado is down on the ground (count the shots
while firing) - switch to the handgun if Leon has no time to reload.

Having problems with the time limit? Try making it to the far northeast end
without picking up ANY items then go through the normal means of killing both
chainsaw Ganados. This shouldn't make it much harder, but it will definitely
give more time for killing the chainsaw wielders.

The time for this area is based on two things: (a) How many Ganados Leon kills
and (b) how much time has passed. Once the cutscene with the Ganados running
has played then the time for Ganado cleansing has almost come to an end. Once
the church bell rings in the cutscene that will ultimately follow, the Ganados'
attacks will cease and they will leave the area. Hunnigan will contact Leon
again and he will be free to explore the village freely after the radio
cutscene.

| Extra Info |
|=============================================================================|
| * Check the body in the bonfire in the middle of the village. It is one of |
| the cops from earlier! |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Objective: Find the key to open the door with the insignia in Pueblo Village.

Check the building with the insignia on the front door in the east. The door
is locked so Leon must venture to the northeast to find a key. Pick up the
++ALERT ORDER++ file from the wall above the table in the right shed up the
northeast path. Continue through the northeast exit to enter the next area.

__ Farm __

Enter the shed to the left to find a typewriter. Notice the blue ++ABOUT THE
BLUE MEDALLIONS++ paper file hanging on the tree past the fence. This will
tell about the blue medallions scattered around this farm area and the
churchyard in a later chapter. Once ten of them are shot a prize will be
gained from a certain individual that will be revealed later on. There are
seven medallions here.

The chickens in this area will lay eggs +----------------------------------+
that Leon can pick up. The eggs will | PRO MODE HINT |
restore his health by some degree |==================================|
depending on the type - White (barely), | On Professional mode, be sure to |
Brown (moderate), Gold (all). They are | take advantage of the chickens' |

later in the game and giving them to a | greatly for the beginning areas |
certain individual that will accompany | of the game. Leave and return |
Leon. Leon can enter and reenter this | a bunch and stock up! |
area and this will make the chicken lay +----------------------------------+
even more eggs!

The dog here is no threat, he will stand and bark at Leon then run when he is
approached.

The Ganados spread around the area will attack as Leon explores the farm so be
ready. They tend to form a group with the first few so take out the shotgun if
a crowd starts to appear near Leon. These Ganados that Leon will face from now
on are more powerful than the ones fought in Pueblo Village as well so be sure
to go for head shots and use kicks to your advantage.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Pearl Pendant | Walk over to the well next to the shed with the type- |
| | writer. Shoot the plank holding up the cover to the |
| | well then shoot the pendant. Take the pendant from the |
| | top of the cover. Do this in this order or else the |
| | pendant will become dirty from falling into the water. |
| | It will be worth less pesetas. |

| | bookcase away from the opening in the shed to get out. |
| [ ] Spinel | Break the box in the shed on the northeast side |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Blue Medallion Locations (total 7) |
|=============================================================================|
| * Hanging from a branch on the same tree where Leon picks up the "About the |
| Blue Medallions" file |
| * Look toward the first barn while near the shed with the typewriter to see |
| this one hanging from the top opening above the entrance |
| * Hanging on a branch on the tree behind the first barn |
| * On the south side of the second barn, this is hanging from the bottom |
| portion of the roof above the south entrance (look up) |
| * Climb up the ladder in the second barn and turn around to see this |
| hanging from the top opening above the north entrance |
| * Hanging on a windmill piece in the northeast. Aim carefully! |
| * Hanging above the large set of double doors on the northeast side that |
| barred (a little more to the north rather than RIGHT up above them) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The northeast set of double doors cannot be opened at this time since they are
barred from the other side. Open the doors on the southeast side after
collecting all the items in the area.

__ Booby Trapped Path __

Look up to the left after entering. See the boulder? Walk further ahead and
examine the signpost to the side and Leon will remember this sign from back in
the woods - meaning there is danger ahead. Follow the path down the hill and a
cutscene will play.

Interactive Cutscene:

Wiggle the Wii-mote from left to right to quickly run from the boulder as it
rolls down the hill after Leon. Quickly press A + B to roll out of its way as
Leon reaches the bottom of the hill.

If Leon tries to go back up the hill some Ganados on the bridge above will
throw weapons at him. These Ganados can be shot but their items cannot be
collected if they drop any. Enter the tunnel to the east.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the first shiny object on the ceiling of the |
| | tunnel |
| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the second shiny object on the ceiling of the |
| | tunnel |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

On the other side of the tunnel try to scope out the Ganados up ahead. Look
closely and notice the dynamite in the hand of the single Ganado outside the
building. Shoot that dynamite for a perfect start to this area. Otherwise, be
prepared to dodge the dynamite being thrown. Leon can shoot any dynamite in
this area to set it off at any time or shoot a Ganado to stall him and allow it
to blow up in his hands. Keep in mind that a Ganado with lit dynamite will
blow up and destroy everything around him in the process.

Shoot the bear traps around the southwest side of the first big building then
enter the building and take care of the Ganados inside. Another dynamite
thrower is on the north side of this building. Be sure to shoot the C4 and
other bear trap in the shed while collecting the item in there.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Hand Grenade | On the table in the second room of the middle building |
| [ ] Spinel | In the left wooden crate on the shelf in the shed |
| [ ] Red Catseye | Shoot the bird's nest up in the tree in front of the |
| | right side of the house |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The left shed has some spiders crawling along the walls that can be shot. One
of the most missed treasures in the game is in the bird's nest in front of the
right side of the house in the east so be sure to shoot the nest and collect
the item. Kick at the lock until the front door of the house opens (3 kicks)
or just shoot the lock (1 shot).

__ Abandoned House __

Inside is a typewriter on the left table. Notice the banging sound coming from
somewhere in the back of the house? Walk through the doorway and shoot the C4
in the hall and in the next room. Push the bookcase blocking the doorway to
the side and walk down the hall ahead. Approach the shaking closet in the back
of the house. It doesn't matter if Leon shoots the closet, throws grenades or
eggs, or what have you at it - it is indestructible. Open the closet to
trigger a cutscene that will end this chapter.

Chapter 1-2

__ Storage Building __

Interactive cutscene:

Dodge as the axe is about to hit Leon and Luis.

Objective: Find the secret passage in the village that leads to the church.

Walk around the corridor to the side for a cutscene introducing the merchant.
Save the game at the typewriter on the shelf then exit the building. Walk
around the back of the building for another cutscene involving the merchant.
This merchant will allow Leon to buy a set of several items and he will be
around throughout the rest of the chapter of the game. He will carry newer
items as the game progresses.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the shelf in the room where Leon and Luis were tied |
| | up |
| [ ] Rifle Ammo | Lying next to the typewriter |
| [ ] Red Herb | Break the left wooden barrel behind the merchant |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Sell the 7 Spinels, the Ruby, and the Pearl Pendant but none of the other
treasures. The others are combinable with other treasures for a greater value
and it's best to keep them for now. Above all else, buy the Attache Case M.
The TMP and Rifle are more of your decision. The TMP is much better on the Wii
version thanks to a more precise aim - it can be a good substitute for the
handgun. The Rifle has some good damage, but the precision scope isn't really
needed yet. Don't buy the extra scope since there is absolutely no need for
it, which is true for the entire game really.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------\
| Merchant Items |
|=================================================================|
| Attache Case M | 24000 | TMP | 10000 |
| Treasure Map (Village) | 3000 | Rocket Launcher | 30000 |
| Handgun | 8000 | Scope (Rifle) | 7000 |
| Shotgun | 20000 | First Aid Spray | 5000 |
| Rifle | 12000 | ---------------------- | |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------/

As for upgrades, it would be good to mainly upgrade the capacity and reload
speed for your weapons. Seconds matter in intense fights with several Ganados
more than damage at this point. Upgrade the shotgun more than the handgun
since Leon will be keeping it longer.

\---------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Walk toward the double doors in front of the building for a cutscene.

__ Mountain Village __

Open or kick open the doors - it doesn't matter, the Ganados will be all over
Leon in just a minute anyway. It is possible to lead Ganados through the
double doors and blast them from the other side. Also there are holes in the
brick gate that Leon can shoot through. Try to go for headshots then kick them
off the side of the bridges. Sometimes a Ganado will automatically fall to his
death when he is shot on the bridge. Try to shoot the Ganados on the high
ledges and buildings before getting too close to them since they will throw
dynamite or weapons from a distance.

The gate at the far north end of the village is locked and requires a medallion
to open it, so the main objective here is to search for the two halves of the
medallion. One half, the ++EMBLEM (LEFT HALF)++, is on the southeast end at
the top of a hill and the other half, the ++EMBLEM (RIGHT HALF)++ is on the
southwest end on top of the middle building in the village. Climb the ladder
in the center of the middle building to get up to the rooftop. They are both
hidden inside of treasure chests. Both halves are guarded by Ganados with
throwing weapons.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Shotgun Ammo | On a shelf inside the middle building (southwest end) |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a crate inside the middle building (middle room) |
| [ ] Flash Grenade | Open the single locker in the middle building |
| [ ] 1000 PTAS | Open the locker on the left inside of the small north- |
| | east building |
| [ ] Yellow Herb | Open the locker on the right inside of the small north- |
| | east building. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

From the rooftop of the middle building, Leon can get the perfect view of the
Ganados on the high ledges and rooftops so make sure to take advantage of this.
A rifle could come in handy here, but still, the Wii-mote makes sniping just as
possible with a handgun or TMP.

Once Leon has both halves of the medallion, examine the gate on the east end of
the village then combine both halves through the menu to get the ++HEXAGONAL
EMBLEM++. Use the Emblem on the gate to unlock it.

__ Outside Facility __

Break the wooden barrel to the right of the entrance doors by the dumpster,
break the two barrels down the left path. Kick open the facility doors after
exploring the outside of the facility.

__ Inside the Facility __

While breaking the first barrel off to the left a mask can be noticed through
the hole in the wall to the side, but this cannot be collected until Leon moves
deeper into the facility. Aim at the boards on the left wall in that room to
see that the cursor turns red while moving over them - this is the key to
getting this. Continue through the doors on the opposite side for now. A wave
Ganados will attack Leon through the next set of doors, watch for the weapon
throwers as usual. Step behind the crate next to the door that Leon just
opened and let them come your way to play it safe or just go charging in!

Jump through one of the windows along the side of the wall after fighting off
the first Ganado wave. Ganados will stand on the other side of the room and
toss dynamite at Leon. The best way to approach this part is to shoot one of
the sticks of dynamite while it is near them - this will take out the whole
group. Use the A button while standing behind the dumpster ("Crouch" command)
to duck the dynamite blast. While Leon is ducking hold the B button to make
him aim then let go of the button to make him return to his ducking state.

Take note of the nine bear traps spread around the room and disarm them while
running over to any pickups. The next room with the dripping ceilings is where
Leon can get the mask from earlier. Break the board on the south wall then hop
into the room and collect it.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Open the cover to the first fireplace on the right |
| [ ] Spinel | Open the cover to the second fireplace on the right |
| [ ] Elegant Mask | In the room with the dripping ceiling (past the room |
| | with bear traps) break the wooden boards on the opening |
| | of the south wall and jump through the opening to find |
| | this on the left |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Continue through the next door and move down the stairs. A single Ganado will
attack near the ladder at the end. Shoot him in the head and kick him off into
the water for an instant kill. Jump down into the water below for some items.
There are quite a number of fish here and Leon can kill them and pick them up
as items. They will restore his health or they can be sold to the merchant.
Throw a hand grenade into the water to kill most of them instantly. Make sure
that there is enough room in Leon's inventory to carry them all. The Large
Bass takes up about as much as a shotgun.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check in the water |
| [ ] Flash Grenade | Check in the water (behind the ladder) |
| [ ] 1000 PTAS | Check in the water (behind the ladder) |
| [ ] Large Bass | Kill it in the water then pick it up |
| [ ] Bass | Kill them in the water then pick them up |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Round up the fish then climb back up the ladder. Climb up the next ladder.

__ Path to the Chief's House __

Turn to the left to spot a treasure hanging above the well. Notice the
signpost with the skulls revealing that there are traps in the area. Shoot the
C4 along with the 3 bear traps up ahead before moving down the path - one of
the bear traps is on the left side just in case Leon tries to slip past the C4.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Brass Pocket | Shoot the plank holding up the well lid then shoot the |
| Watch | pocket watch. Retrieve it while it is on the lid top |
| [ ] Extra PTAS | Shoot the crows along the path ahead (the C4 can kill |
| | the furthest two) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Walk up the stairs of the house at the top of the hill. At the top and to the
side is a door that requires Leon to rotate the large crystal ball on the door
so that it matches up with the Illuminados symbols along the sides.

the room for goodies.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 1000 PTAS | Inside of the closet to the right just as Leon enters |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check the left drawer of the desk to find this |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Pick up the --INSIGNIA KEY-- from the open box on the dresser across from the
entrance. This is the key that will allow Leon into that one locked building
back in Pueblo Village. Collect the ++CHIEF'S NOTE++ file from the bed.
Notice the window to the side of this room. Try to break it with a knife. It
can't be broken, and it is indestructible for a reason. I'll share the info
behind this at the beginning of the next chapter so as not to spoil anything.
Open the door for a cutscene that will end this chapter.

CHAPTER 1-3

__ Chief Mendez's House __

Objective: Find the church

Once the radio cutscene is over check the cabinet for some extra pesetas and be
sure to open the door that leads to the room Leon just exited from in the last
chapter to get the extra cutscene - it provides a good setup for a cutscene
later in the game.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Herb | Open the cabinet below the picture of "the hooded man" |
| | on the second floor |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Extra Cutscene |
|=============================================================================|
| * Open the door to the room that Leon exited from in the last chapter |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Now, about the window that I mentioned in the last chapter, it was
indestructible because "the woman in red" always shoots through the window then
Chief Mendez destroys it in the extra cutscene. In the Gamecube version the
window is breakable prior to the cutscene and it always appears fixed in the
cutscene of the next chapter.

Run down the stairs. Open the door below the stairs to find a Ganado in the
restroom! Check around the dining room for a few item pickups then save at the
typewriter. Open the front door.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Incendiary | Break the glass casing on the shelf to the right of the |
| Grenade | fireplace and grab the grenade |
| [ ] 1000 PTAS | Open the cabinet across from the shelf described above |
| [ ] Brown Chicken | Open the oven across from the typewriter |
| Egg | |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Path to Pueblo Village __

A few Ganados and a chainsaw Ganado will attack as Leon steps out of the house.
A grenade is very useful at this part (hand or incendiary). Use the shotgun to
keep the chainsaw Ganado grounded and try to focus on the other Ganados since
the one with the chainsaw takes much longer to kill.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Ruby | Kill the chainsaw Ganado |
| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the bird's nest on the branch in one of the trees |
| | on the path down to the shed |
| [ ] TMP Ammo | Shoot the bird's nest on the branch in one of the trees |
| | a little ways from the shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Be sure to shoot the bird nests up in the trees for some extra pickups along
the path. A group of Ganados will be waiting at the very end of the path.
Open the doors at the end to reenter Pueblo Village.

__ Pueblo Village __

A few Ganados followed by a whole swarm of Ganados will attack as Leon makes
his way into the village. Use a hand grenade or incendiary grenade from the
top of the path if they start to group up too much. Beware the Ganados on the
rooftops in the middle of the village. There are no new items in the village
at this time. Approach the middle building with the insignia door and use the
insignia key to unlock it.

__ Insignia Building __

Save your game at the typewriter and collect all the items in the area. Open
the door and shoot the lantern up above for a Spinel. These lanterns can be
shot in later chapters to set enemies on fire while they are below them.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the top of the cabinet |
| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the lantern hanging from the ceiling in the next |
| | room |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Open the trapdoor on the floor then jump down into the opening in the floor and
follow the tunnel at the bottom. Another lantern will be hanging in the middle
of the cave; shoot it to make some valuable items glimmer in the remaining
light on the ceiling of the cave.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | On the ceiling of the cave, shoot it after shooting the |
| | lantern |
| [ ] Spinel | On the ceiling of the cave, beside the one above |
| [ ] Elegant | Same room as the above Spinel, but turn around and back |
| Headdress | up to see it after shooting the lantern |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Secret Tunnel __

Continue deeper into the cave and a cutscene will play that introduces another
merchant. He will mention the blue medallions that Leon received a note about
all the way back in the Farm area. The Churchyard that contains the rest of
the blue medallions is right up ahead so don't bother upgrading the current
handgun any since Leon will be getting another one by shooting all of the
medallions. The only new item that merchant has is a stock (this helps to make
the cursor steady when equipped to the TMP) and he offers upgrades for the TMP
now. Sell the Spinels, the Ruby, the Brass Pocket Watch, and the Elegant
Headdress to him for some extra pesetas.

\---------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Open the door and climb the ladder at the end of the tunnel.

__ Churchyard __

A few Ganados will attack as Leon first enters the graveyard. Check the twin
gravestones located in the graveyard to find pairs of twin symbol designs on
top of them. These symbols will be used in a puzzle up ahead. All the rest of
the blue medallions are spread around this area as well. The requirement is
ten, but be sure to shoot them all for an even better prize!
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Hand Grenade | Shoot the bird's nest directly above the doorway while |

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Blue Medallion Locations (8 total) |
|=============================================================================|
| * Hanging from a branch of a tree in front of the shed (in the background) |
| * Hanging from a branch of a tree that is near the fence along the path |
| leading to the church |
| * Hanging from a branch of a tree on the north middle portion of the grave- |
| yard |
| * Hanging from a branch that extends across the north side of the church. |
| Shoot it from the front of the church |
| * After retrieving the green catseye from the puzzle pedestal, while still |
| facing the pedestal, look up and to the left to see this hanging from |
| the back portion of the roof of the church |
| * After jumping across the first gap in the bridge behind the church, turn |
| around and look below the bridge to see this one hanging there |
| * Beside the small building along the side of the bridge, hanging from the |
| top portion of the bridge |
| * Before jumping across the second gap in the bridge, look below the bridge |
| portion up ahead to see this hanging from the bottom |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Follow the path leading to the church up above. Some more Ganados will attack
at the top. Shoot the dynamite in the dynamite Ganado's hand to kill them all
quickly. Walk around the right side of the church.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Incendiary | Shoot the bird's nest in the tree in front of the church |
| Grenade | (right side) |
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Extra Scenes |
|=============================================================================|
| * Shoot the church bell on the top right side of the church to summon a |
| group of Ganados into the graveyard below. This can be done twice. A |
| Ganado will yell the first two times the bell is shot. |
| * Start to run down the separate path along the right side of the church to |
| get an extra radio call from Hunnigan. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

On the right side, walk up to the shiny object in the pedestal. This puzzle
requires Leon to light up the three designs that were found in the graveyard on
the three twin gravestones. The symbols are as follows:

-- SOLUTION:
_
|\\
| \\ \-- --/
// / \ / \ \\ //
// // \\ // \\ \\ //
// // \\// \\ \\//
// //-- \/ --\\ \/
\\ |
\\|

From the starting position (the top center) move the pointer in the following
pattern:

** 3 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 3 **

This will get Leon the green catseye that can be combined with the Beerstein
for extra pesetas when sold to the merchant.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Catseye | Solve the puzzle in the back of the church to release |
| | this item |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Walk back to the front of the church and check the door for a Hunnigan radio
cutscene.

Objective: Find the engraving that will open the door to the church

Follow the path along the right side of the church and walk out onto the
bridge. Shoot the Ganados and they will most likely fall off the bridge - if
not then just kick them off with a blast to the face followed by a roundhouse.

Inside the building on the left, grab the ++CLOSURE OF THE CHURCH++ file. The
box to the left of the file has a snake in it. Perform two knife swings (one
to break the box and one to kill the snake) in order to kill it and receive a
chicken egg. The snakes will be lurking in a few of these boxes from now on.
Their damage rate is very low if they manage to bite Leon.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] SNAKE! | Break the box to the left of the file in the small |
| | building on the side of the bridge |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Continue to the end of the bridge and blast the single Ganado guarding the next
door. Open the door at the end.

__ Holding Area __

Notice the group of crows in the middle. Throw a flash grenade to kill them
all then grab all the goodies that they drop. One even carries a flash
grenade! Notice the moaning sounds? That is coming from something behind the
pair of large doors on the east side. Walk down the stairs on the opposite
side of this area.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Extra PTAS | Shoot/throw a flash grenade at the group of crows in |
| | the middle of the area |
| [ ] Flash Grenade | The middle crow carries this |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check on the table in the first small building |
| [ ] Spinel | Check on the table in the first small building |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check on the table in the third small building |
| [ ] Spinel | On the rocks in the wheelbarrow on the northwest side |

| | toward Leon in order for him to pick them up |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The merchant in this area carries an extra item and some more weapon Tune-ups
if Leon shot enough of the medallions. If Leon shot over 10 medallions then
the merchant will offer a free Punisher handgun; if Leon shot all 15
medallions, the merchant will offer a free Punisher handgun with a bonus
firepower upgrade. The upgrade is usually 10000 PTAS extra.

** If Leon shot at least 10 medallions. Shoot all 15 and the Punisher will
already have a firepower upgrade.

Use the typewriter to the side to save your progress then exit back out of the
shop and enter the doors to the right in the Holding Area.

__ Swamp __

Check the shed to the side for some extra items. Notice the red signpost with
the skulls on it. Look up after examining it to see a boulder on the rock wall
up above. Run down the path then get ready for an interactive cutscene.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table inside of the right shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Interactive Cutscene:

Wiggle the Wii-mote to outrun the boulder then press A+B to roll away from the
boulder as Leon reaches the bottom.

/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Right after escaping the boulder, walk forward a bit, |
| | turn around, then look at the rock wall up above. Shoot |
| | the shiny object then collect it from the ground. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

A Ganado will be standing on the wooden walkway above the swamp up ahead. The
C4 behind him can be shot to kill him instantly, but there is a much better way
to use that C4. Try to kill him and leave the C4 there. Jump into the swamp
on the left side and blast the Ganados that attack in the water. Soon some
more Ganados will come from the path where Leon escaped the boulder.

Use the ramp to the side to climb back up on the wooden walkway and Leon will
be standing on the opposite side of the C4. Wait for one of them to run across
the C4 and trigger it or shoot it yourself. One of the best things to do is to
shoot the quicker Ganados to stall them and let them all gang up then shoot the
C4 or let them trigger it. Grenades work very well for these groups of Ganados
since quite a few pile up.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Grenade | At the very beginning of the swampy area, drop off the |
| | left side and this will be on a dry piece of land to |
| | the left |
| [ ] SNAKE! | Break the right crate on the shelf in the shed |
| [ ] SNAKES! | There are two more snakes slithering around in the |
| | water or on the wooden walkway somewhere in this area |
| [ ] Incendiary | On a bench on the second portion of the wooden walkway |
| Grenade | (the one with the bridge) |
| [ ] Antique Pipe | Get in the water and move over to the south/southeast |
| | side of the second wooden walkway then find the patch |
| | of dry land with a tree. Shoot the bird's nest up in |
| | the tree and this will fall from it. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Many more Ganados are strewn out around this swamp area along with a few C4
traps. Many times the Ganados will walk directly into the C4 traps so try to
lure them toward the traps. Get on top of the second wooden walkway then
follow the path ahead and open the door at the end.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] SNAKE! | Break the box on the table in the second shed |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the second shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Path to the Lake __

Follow the path directly ahead at first - don't turn right yet. At the top of
the path a cutscene will play.

Return the way that Leon came then make a left and follow the other path that
leads to the dock at the end. Stop in the second shed and save at the
typewriter - especially if you want to check out the extra scene.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Gold Bangle | Shoot the bird's nest in the tree about midways down |
| w/Pearls | the path that leads to the dock |
| [ ] Yellow Herb | Break the wooden box on the table in the first shed |
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the first shed |
| [ ] Green Herb | On the table by the typewriter in the second shed |
| [ ] Black Bass | There are a few Black Bass in the water, but I would |
| | HIGHLY recommend throwing a grenade into the water to |
| | kill them since they are basically there to trick the |
| | player into firing into the water - see below. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Extra Death Animation |
|=============================================================================|
| * Stand on the very edge of the dock and shoot anywhere six times - this is |
| a secret death animation for Leon, so save before you try this. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ The Lake __

The fish at the dock can be collected - throw a grenade into the water to kill
most of them. Get in the boat and drive out into the lake. The opening along
with the rooftop on the north side of the lake is closed off for now. Head for
the opposite side of the lake and a cutscene will play near the middle of the
lake.

Boss Battle - Del Lago

Life: 60

Directly after the cutscene, Leon will be forced to fight Del Lago as it grabs
the boat's anchor and drags the boat across the lake. Hold the B button to
make Leon hold a spear then aim at Del Lago and throw the spear at him. The
spears come in an infinite supply so don't worry about running out of spears.
Dodge the logs and other debris as Del Lago pulls the boat past the obstacles -
it is wise to stop hitting him and use the analog to turn if the boat is
directly across from one of the obstacles. If Leon falls off the boat then
wiggle the Wii-mote to swim back to the boat. As long as Leon gets back on the
boat he will be fine.

The course of the battle goes like this: Del Lago drags the boat through some
obstacles. Del Lago races toward a wall then surfaces and tries to knock Leon
off the boat. From this point, Del Lago will do one of two things, he will
either drag the boat again and start the above cycle all over again or he will
swim off into the water somewhere and leave the boat.

If Del Lago leaves the boat then Leon will start to look around the lake. Hold
up a spear and start to look around the lake yourself. Del Lago will surface
and start to swim toward the boat. Red arrows on the side of the screen will
point Leon toward Del Lago's location. Throw a spear at him to stop his charge
and he will sink right before he makes it to the boat. Afterwards, Del Lago
will grab onto the boat's anchor and lead Leon across the lake once again.

HITTING DEL LAGO: The best time to hit Del Lago is while he leads Leon through
the water. Leon can throw about three or four spears at him at this time and
really damage him badly. Try to wait until there are no obstacles in the way
and Leon will be able to gain some real good shots on Del Lago. There is no
need to throw a spear while moving around obstacles since Leon will have plenty
of chances to hit him at other times - don't put yourself in danger like this.
It takes 10 - 12 spears to kill Del Lago on normal mode.

DODGING DEL LAGO: Whenever Del Lago surfaces to knock Leon off of the boat near
a wall, hold to one of the sides with the analog to dodge him. Turn to one of
the sides and make sure that you don't accidentally turn back toward him.

LEON'S HEALTH: Leon is automatically doomed no matter how much you swing the
remote once he has been knocked into the water with zero health so always try
to keep his health away from the red portion.

Once Del Lago is defeated an interactive cutscene will play.

Interactive cutscene: Wiggle the Wii-mote to make Leon cut the rope of the
anchor off of his leg.

Another cutscene will play that will end this chapter.

[CH21]
Chapter 2-1

Objective: Find the object that will open the church doors

__ Lakeside with Cabin __

Once the cutscenes are over, Leon will start out in the cabin on the other side
of the lake. Pick up the ++ANONYMOUS LETTER++ file from the bed. Exit the
house via the front door.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table near the typewriter |
| [ ] Flash Grenade | On the bottom shelf near the middle table |
| [ ] Random ITEM | On the table by the door |
| [ ] Large Black | In the water near the dock. Shoot, use a hand grenade, |
| Bass | or get in the boat and throw spears. |
| [ ] Black Bass | In the water near the dock |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Extra Cutscene/Enemies |
|=============================================================================|
| * Drive back across to the dock on the other side of the lake and try to go |
| back to the gate on that side. A cutscene will play and Colmillos will |
| attack. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Lake __

The fish at the dock can be collected - throw a hand grenade into the water to
kill most of them then get on the boat and collect them.

Get back in the boat and drive into the tunnel along the north side of the
lake. Look for the blue flames to signify a merchant location.

__ Lake Merchant Shop __

Lucky for Leon, another merchant has set up a shop in the middle of the lake.
Be sure to scout the area for extra items since there are plenty available.
Leon can actually raid the merchant's store just a bit by dropping behind his
stand via the rooftop behind the other side of the counter.

Walk over to the left side in front of the shop and move the crate all the way
back. Break the barrels to the right then climb the ladder. Move the next
crate at the top all the way back then push the crate to the right all the way
back as well. Break all the barrels in the way then fall down through the
opening to land on the other side of the counter by the merchant. Grab the
rifle ammo to the side then climb back up.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the hanging overhead torch on the right side of |
| | the merchant's shop. Look up! This can also be hit |
| | with the knife while on top of the merchant's shop. |
| [ ] Green Gem | Break the middle crate at the top of the merchant's |
| | shop. |
| [ ] Rifle Ammo | Climb on top of the merchant's shop via the ladder on |
| | the left side, push the crates, destroy the barrels |
| | then fall down into the shop. Turn around and this |
| | will be near a pot. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

This particular merchant offers some extra tune-ups for Leon's weapons at the
moment.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Handgun |

| Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 3 | 9 | 8000 |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Get back in the boat.

__ Lake __

There is one more item pickup on the other side of the lake where Leon first
entered this area. All wooden boxes and barrels have respawned. A cutscene
will trigger if Leon moves down the path toward the door on this side.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table near the typewriter in the shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Get back in the boat and drive back across the lake to the cabin where Leon
started this chapter then enter the door on the northeast side.

__ Waterfall __

While moving ahead a cutscene will trigger that will show a Las Plagas (Plagas
Head) burst from a Ganados head for the first time. These spawn from the head
of regular Ganados. They spawn at random whether or not Leon busts open the
head of Ganados. Don't let this discourage you from blasting them in the head
since Plagas Heads will sometimes emerge even while shooting an enemy in the
chest.

Throw a flash grenade at the Plagas Head for an instant kill, equip the rifle
and aim directly at the Plagas, or just shoot the head of the Plagas with any
other weapon (the TMP works well). These enemies have an arm that will extend
outward and slice Leon from the Plagas portion so be careful about getting too
close.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 5000 PTAS | Defeat the Plagas Head |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Another Ganado will attack from up ahead as well. Run up the steps at the end
of the path and leap across the platforms above the river then move to the east
across the other side. Hop across the broken bridge to get to the north side
then climb down the rope to the east.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Look on the left mountain wall directly after climbing |
| | down the rope then shoot this item to make it fall |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Shoot the Ganado on the high platform to the side.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Look on the railing of the high platform (near the |
| | ladder) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Walk over to the edge of the wooden walkway next to the water wheel. In order
to get across, shoot the crate above the water to make it float downstream and
crash against the floodgate providing a platform for Leon to hop across. Hop
across the crate and jump to the other side.

On the other side, shoot the first crate in the distance and try to hit the
second crate up high. If Leon can't hit it then move toward the waterfall in
the back and climb the ladder on the left. This will position him right next
to the hanging crate. Notice that there is an opening behind the waterfall -
Leon can't get to it yet though.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Amber Ring | Shoot the shiny object on the high wooden pole in front |
| | of the waterfall |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Hop across the crates. Turn to the right and climb the ladder to the platform
up ahead. Pull the lever at the top of the platform to close the floodgate
above the waterfall.

Drop back down and hop back across the crates to the middle path in front of
the waterfall. Ganados will rush out of the secret entrance where the
waterfall was at and some more will hop across the crate on the north side in
an attempt to trap Leon. Throw a grenade at the Ganados near the secret
entrance or pull out the shotgun and start to blast them away from in front of
Leon then run toward the tunnel and defeat the others behind Leon.

Here's an alternate way to handle the Ganados at this part based on a reader's
suggestion:

Once you pull the lever that stops the waterfall, jump down and go across the
boxes to the platform in the middle. As soon as the cutscene triggers that
shows the two sets of Ganados, jump right back to your previous position. Stand
your ground in front of the second box. The Ganados will attempt to jump
across. Let them get on top of the second crate before unloading your shotgun
into them. This will cause them to stagger back and fall off into the river.
For even better results, grab your pistol and shoot the faster-moving ones so
they'll lump together. I used maybe two shotgun rounds and one pistol shot;
it's great if you're as much of a perfectionist as me, since you can pretty
easily avoid damage and even potential Plagas heads sprouting. The only
downside is that you don't get the possible pickups from their bodies

Run through the tunnel that the waterfall was blocking earlier. At the end,
pick up the ++ROUND INSIGNIA++. This is the insignia that will open the front
door of the church. The rock wall will slide open to reveal another tunnel.
Leon will call Hunnigan to tell her the good news.

Objective: Get back to the church and save Ashley

Follow the new portion of the tunnel up ahead and open the door at the end.

__ Secret Cave Behind Waterfall __

Run up ahead and get into the boat. The boat will take Leon back to the
Merchant's shop on the other side of the lake.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Break the first torch on the right next to the door |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Merchant's Shop __

The merchant doesn't have anything new, but you might want to sell off the
Amber Ring or make some last minute tune-ups to your weapons. There is a big
fight ahead and it would help to have the TMP, but the handgun or shotgun will
work just fine. Climb up the ladder and exit the shop to continue.

__ Holding Area __

From this area, it is possible to backtrack to the swamp through the right
door. Ganados are now in this area and all the wooden boxes and barrels have
respawned. There is also some handgun ammo in the shed on the far side of the
swamp. There's also a snake in the left box of the first shed. As you can
see, the items are not worth backtracking for!
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] SNAKE! | Reenter the Swamp area and break the wooden box in the |
| | first shed |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The wooden barrels in this area have respawned as well, so break the two
barrels before walking out to the middle up ahead. When Leon approaches the
middle, a cutscene will play and a boss fight will start afterward.

Boss Battle - El Gigante

Life to knock down: 25 - 30
Las Plagas (main) life: 15 - 20

This boss looks tough and he actually is a little tough if you don't know his
main weakness. He's a sucker for flash grenades!

At the start of the battle run around and keep your eyes on El Gigante. Make
sure that he is in your view since he has a few attacks that cover great
distances. He will sometimes pick up one of the trees along the side of this
area and swing them at Leon. Press the on-screen sequence as it appears to
duck under the tree. El Gigante will also try to ram and will throw large
rocks at Leon if he moves over to the north side of the area. His close
attacks are a kick, an overhead smash, and a grab. If he grabs Leon, he will
pick him up and start to squeeze him. Wiggle the Wii-mote while El Gigante
holds Leon to make Leon stab El Gigante's arm. He will drop Leon at that time.

Stall long enough at the beginning of this battle and the dog that Leon helped
all the way back in the woods will show up in a cutscene - if Leon saved him
that is (shooting him to make him run doesn't count as a save). The dog will
get El Gigante's attention and lure him away from Leon. Use this chance to run
inside the small buildings to the side and gather up ammo if Leon needs it.
This is also a great chance to fire at El Gigante without the need of flash
grenades.

Throw a flash grenade then shoot him with the shotgun, handgun, or TMP. If the
dog is distracting El Gigante then don't worry about the flash grenade. When
El Gigante leans over, rush over to him and press the A button when the on-
screen icon appears in order to climb on top of El Gigante's back. Leon will
take out his knife and move toward the Plagas on the creature's back. Wiggle
the Wii-mote from right to left to slash at the Plagas on El Gigante's back.
Eventually Leon will jump off. Go back to attacking El Gigante again - throw a
flash grenade then attack him while he is stunned. Get on his back once again
when he leans over then start to slash some more. Two back slashings will kill
El Gigante if you move the Wii-mote fast enough during the slashing.

|=============================================================================|
| * If Leon saved the dog from the bear trap near the beginning of the game |
| then it will show up in a cutscene and help distract El Gigante for a |
| while |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Be sure to pick up the 15000 PTAS from El Gigante's body then leave the area
and head back to the church.

__ Churchyard (Night) __

Run and jump back across the bridge. The boxes in the shed have respawned.
Once Leon walk up the path that leads to the church a trio of Colmillos will
attack. These dog enemies are very aggressive so try to keep them all on one
side of Leon. Blast them with a shotgun or the TMP. Walk up to the front door
of the church and use the Round Insignia to unlock it then open it.

__ Church __

Climb up the ladder on the left side. A gate blocks the way to the door in the
middle of the walkway so move over to the walkway across from the chandelier
then jump on the chandelier and time a jump so that Leon leaps to the other
side of the second floor. Just keep tapping the A button if you want Leon to
make the jump on the first swing - it always works!
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 3000 PTAS | To the left of the altar on top of a cabinet |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Examine the control panel with the colored switches and some lights will shine
above the altar. Match up the patterns so that they correspond with the middle
image. Notice the arrows on the sides of each circle. Match up the arrows as
follows:

-- SOLUTION

- RED - GREEN - BLUE
________ ________ ________
/ \ / \ / \
/ \ / \ / \
| | | < | | > |
| | | < | | > |
\ \/ / \ / \ /
\________/ \________/ \________/

Rotate the circles as described above then combine the colored circles to open
the gates along the side of the second floor walkway. Enter the room for a
cutscene.

__ Storage __

Objective: Find the trail leading out of the village

++PLAYING MANUAL 3++ will be received after the cutscenes. Leave the room
after collecting all the goodies from the barrels.

__ Church __

Drop down the ladder. A "Catch" command will appear so press the A button to
catch Ashley as she falls. This is the only way that Ashley can get down from
a high place so remember that. A cutscene will play as Leon tries to leave the
church that will end this chapter.

__ Church Exterior __

Unlock the door up ahead then open it to enter the church courtyard once again.
Before continuing ahead, go back into the church for some extra pesetas and an
item pickup.

| Extra Enemies/Pickups |
|=============================================================================|
| * Reenter the church. The two Zealots from the prior cutscene are still |
| inside. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Church __

Kill the two Zealots (monks) with the crossbows to get some extra ammo and some
extra pesetas. These will be the normal enemies later in the game.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 5000 PTAS | Kill the Zealot on the left |
| [ ] Random Ammo | Kill the Zealot on the right |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Churchyard (Night) __

A cutscene will show a group of Ganados at the bottom of the path when Leon
first enters this area. When Leon walks over toward the top of the path
leading to the graveyard, Ashley will point to the wagon and tell Leon to shoot
the barrels on the wagon. Shoot the barrels on the wagon as soon as possible
and it will burst into flames then roll down the hill and take the whole group
of Ganados with it. Sometimes a straggler will remain.

| [ ] TMP Ammo | Shoot the bird's nest up in the tree right before |
| | entering the bricks that shelter the ladder leading to |

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

* Keep in mind that all boxes and barrels in the familiar areas ahead have
respawned.

Follow the path all the way back to the ladder that leads down into the tunnel
below the insignia building and climb down it.

__ Secret Tunnel __

The merchant has a new weapon along with its stock and some extra tune-ups. He
has the Red9, which is arguably the best handgun in the game. It's powerful
but has a lower reload animation and firing speed than the Punisher and
Handgun. I'd recommend it myself.
