If you want to have some fun. Try to beat the game with just your handgun or punisher. II did that and had lots of fun.

Alright, this is a hint for after you have gone through all the crates. After the gate closes behind U3, run around the rock and pick up the items (green herb, handgun ammo). Operate the gate mechanism and run in.

Operate it again and half tun. Shoot some mine darts into U3 and run. Operate the other gate and run out, operating it again to lock IT in. Half turn and pop a few magnum, shotgun, or mine darts into him. If you have run out oammo by this time, don't worry.

Run around the rock again and wait for him. Whe he clomes at you, dodge his attacks and go behind him. Get out your knife by pressing L1 and slash at his butt until he dives underground or turns around. If he does the first, dodge his attacks and wait for him to resurface. If he does the latter, he will fall first. Keep slashing and he will turn around. Get really close and slash.

Repeat this until he dies. It took me twice of him going underground, and once of him falling and turning around.

Hope it helps.

Krauser Battle(Assignment Ada)

Alright, I know the walkthrough says to use your TMP or hand grenade in assignment Ada...But I found an easier way (p.s. This also works when fighting Saddler in Seperate ways). Make sure your rifle is loaded,and your health is up.

Equip your handgun and stand behind the last line on the bridge before the barrells. Shoot the barrels and equip your rifle. Run over to the barrels. Small scene will show Krauser running at Ada with the plagas arm. Pick up the items (handgun ammo, Antisepic spray, TMP ammo), run towards he elevator shaft and half turn. Run across the bridge, and half turn again.

Dodge Kruaser's attackas, then shoot him with the rifle. When he drops to his knee shoot him again. Continue this method until he throws the flash grenade and disapears. Pick up the final plagas sample and head towards the elavator shaft. Operate it and go up, then run into the radio tower. Operate the radio and watch the cutscene to finish the mini game.

Saddler(Seperate Ways)

Ok, by now you should have bought the bowgun from the merchant at the begining of Chapter 5. If not, the rifle works just as well.

With bogun: Wait until Saddler lifts himself to your level. Shoot him with the bowgun a few times, aiming just below his chin. After a few hits the large eyeball in his mouth will apear. Runn over to him and press he appropriete action button to stab it.
Run past him and grab the bowgun bolts(3).. Run over the thfire, grab the shotgun shells(random) and jump down. Run around the thing Ashley was in and half turn.
Shoot him with your remaining bowgun olts, then equip your rifle. Pop a few in him until the eye shows again.
Again press button to stab it.

Run back upstairs and into the room beside where Ada shot the barrels in the cutscene, grab the Antiseptic spray and rifle ammom. Dodge Saddlers attack if he has made it back upstairs by this time. Shoot him with the rifle again in the hed and run out of the room. Jump downstairs again and go right, picking up the handgun ammom, red plant, and rifle ammo.

Dodge Saddler again if he attacks. Aim towards the opening and shoot him in the head again for the final time and watch the cut scene.

In the last fight with Jack K. All you need for him is 1 grenade and a rocket launcher. Normaly he would block the rocket blast with his arm but if you throw a grenade down it will stun him for a min. Letting you get the shot. So all you have to do is throw a regular grenade and right when it hurts him from the explosion shoot him with a rocket. It kills him every time.

Before you fight the big alligator thing in the lake, get on the first dock at the end and shoot the water and your in for a suprise...

The Hive
--------------
When you enter the Catacombs, Ashley will be kidnapped by a winged insect, after taking out the majoritiy of visible insects, turn your attention the the giant hive hanging above you that you couldn't possibly miss, now, release that stress and anger building up inside you at the prospect of Ashley getting kidnapped AGAIN by firing into the hive, and you'll be pleasently surprised, because when you shoot the hive enough, it will fall into the darkness below, leaving behind several pricless jewels, run around the center of the catacombs collecting the red, blue and green eyes that fell from the hive (red being least valuble whilst blue is most valuble) then make your way to the nearest Merchant to claim your cash!

Easy Winger Kills
----------------------------
You get annoyed with all these wingers flying around the catacombs hitting you from behind, well theres an easy way of blowing them out of the air... And it's just that, blow 'em out of the air with your TMP. Doing this will eliminate them in one shot, happy hunting!

When you complete the main game, you unlock seperate ways, when you beat that you unlock the Mafia suit for Leon, but when you play through the game again in that suit, Ashley wears a suit of armor, which can be seriously annoying at times, with all the clunking when she walks and stuff, but it comes with a few niffty attributes, those are

Added Easter Eggs/Abilities
-------------------------------------------
1. When Leon catches Ashley every time she jumps down a ladder, he holds his back due to the weight of her.

2.If the enemy tries to carry her away, they drop her instantly because the armor shes wearing is too heavy

3.You get a special pose when playing as Ashley on the Key/Treasure menu

4.She becomes invincible, no attacks what so ever can hurt her! El gigantes can't crush her, second heads can bite her head off, those blind guys can't slash her head off, Regenarators can't spear her or chew her neck, but best of all... She becomes a useful ally! She can now be used as a human sheild or a distraction, for example, if you need a clean shot at a regenarator, leave her inbetween you and it and fire away! Or if there is a big group of Ganados around you, leave her there and run away and throw a grenade into the crowd, killing them all and leaving Ashley unscathed!

Missing Easter Eggs
-------------------------------
There is 1 or 2 easter eggs that can't work when Ashley is wearing this outfit
1. If you try looking up her skirt nothing will happen

2. You can't make her shout at you by shooting her or slashing her

3. Some poses are missing from the item screen when you play as Ashley

This is the guide to the 3rd and final EG battle, in which you will be faced with 2 EGs in one room...

El Gigante Battle 3
----------------------------
There is a lever at one end of the room, this opens the lava pit in the middle of the room, but can only be used once, so be wise... Run to the lever and press X, tap X again to activate the pit, but you HAVE to wait until one of the EGs are standing on the pit cover, you can only kill one with this method, try and get the one with the helmet, as it is stronger, when the EG is flailing around in the lava stand well away, as it can drag you in, after the hatch closes again run to the platform at the far end of the room and climb up, wait until the EG starts shaking it and then slide down using the zip wire, do a 180 turn and empty a couple of clips into it's back with a handgun or TMP/Chicago Typewriter, repeat this process untill the Back burster erupts, then run infront of the EG and climb it's back to slash the Back Burster (as told in EG battle 1) repeat this about three times to kill the EG, but watch out, cause when it dies you have to dodge it as it falls or you'll be crushed by the body!

This isn't really an EG fight, but I'll put up a guide for this one too...

El Gigante Battle 2
-----------------------------
Your in a canyon barley big enough for the EG, but it's no problem, when you walk a little way down the canyon the EG will jump into the canyon behind you, there is a rock above you on a platform, shoot the platform to make it fall, if you drop oit infront of the EG it will smash through, if you hit it at the right time, the rock will fall on the EG and daze him, giving you abit of time to run, if Ashley is wearing the knight outfit (find out more in my 'Suit of Armor' hint) tell her to wait behind, the EG will focus on her for awhile, run ahead to the 1st door, it's chained up, it takes 6 kicks to open or 3 bullets, but the bullets have to be aimed right on each chain, there will be 2 cabins infront of you when you get through the door, the one nearest you has items inside, if you were fast enough, you can run inside and claim them but it's not compulsory, but the cabin further away has the key to the gate at the end of the canyon inside, run into the cabin, get the key and get out as fast as possible, by now Ashley will have escaped and followed you again, with the EG close behind, make Ashley follow you again and break down the next gate, run through to freedom...
(This is one of two path you can take, to take the EG path, use the right gate, if you go through the left gate, you'll enter the pit wich is filled with Ganados and the Bella sisters, the two chainsaw hags).

Okay, so El Gigante (EG) is a big monster, but it's actually easy to take out, on your 1st encounter, the EG will be pretty weak, but I'll give you the best form of attack...

1st EG fight
--------------------
Make sure you helped the dog caught in the bear trap earlier in the game, cause this is were he comes into play, to begin with spray the EG with your TMP, and the back burster will protrude after a few clips (depending on the power of you TMP) of course, your 1st thought would be to equip your shotgun or sniper rifle and blast away, but theres an easier and more effective way of doing it, run infront of the EG and hit X when promted to, Leon will climb onto it's back and slash the Back burster repeatedly, the faster you tap X, the more damge you'll do, after the 1st time you coax out the back burster, the dog will arrive, drawing the EG's attention to it, making it completely oblivious to your actions, you can do 1 of 2 things during this period, either collect all the items around you or, get close up and shoot the EG with your shotgun, after awhile the dog will stand to one side and leave the fight to you, the EG will now throw rocks at you and swing trees, these are easy to dodge, repeat the 1st step and blast him with the TMP then attack the back burster with the knife, after about 3 cycles, he should die, also the dog will draw the EG's attention to him again if your getting your ass kicked so, happy trails!

When your in the castle and you go through one of the doors there will be a cut scene where ashley gets taken by a flying bug. If you get here, here is a handy cheat when you killed all they but and you brake down the bridnge DONT!

Go through the door instaid get either a mine launcher or a rocket launcher and shoot the BIG blob at the top of the ceilin (honestly you can't miss it) when you dothat a couple of times a cut scene will start of it falling.

Then there will be 1 blue eye, 3 red eyes and 4 green eyes so make sue yu don't sell the butterfly lamp because you can sell it for ALOT if you combine it with the coloured eyes.

After your fight with El Lago (the big fish thing) you can return to that dock. There will be items there and also some collominos (wierd dog things with tentacles sticking out of there backs). Instead of wasting ammo, run back to the boat and chuck spears at them. That way, you can get whatever they drop without using any of your stuff. Hope this helps!

The first time you enter the hut area (where you fight the first El Gigante), you will see a flock of birds. Toss a flash grenade at the center. All the birds will die and you will get 1500 to 3500 pesetas and another flash grenade. (if you don't have a flash grenade hit as many as you can with a shotgun or toss incendiary or hand grenades) If you don't get them all, exit and re-enter the area. The ones you've killed will be gone but the ones you missed will still be there. Also, there are handgun ammo x20 and spinel x2 in that area. Hope it helps!

When your going for the Queen's grail and your about to enter the room with the portraits of her, don't go through the door instead get close enough so you can see the red lights but not enough to trigger the cutscene you can shoot out the red lights before the cutscene begins and the ceiling drops

To get all these guns you must beat the game on normal, at the main screen go to load game and load the new round slot.

The first time you face a wolf, ya know the one with the plagas on it's back, run back to the boat you just got off of and get on. The wolf can outrun you but can't attack you, I don't think. Anyway just hop on the boat and harpoon him.

I heard from my friend you can get a mafia style thompson with infinant ammo by beating seperate ways. It might not be right, or you might have to do it on pro, or somthing but verify this if I'm right. Oh but you buy it at the shop and it cost's 1,000,000 so save your money.

I know people think Resident Evil 4 doesnt really have cheats...

Well I know one. To get started you have to beat the main game (not that hard right) then when you unlock assignment ada you need to beat that too after you beat assignment ada you get the chicago typwriter (power 10.0 automatic machine gun with infininte amo....

Yes you heard me infininte amo) to buy from the merchant in a separate ways REPLAY MODE for 300,000 p.. Well that may seem like alot but sell all you're stuff except the blacktail at the beginin and hunt around for treasure if you didnt have enough (remember to always conserve amo with the handgun by kicking and knifing) once you get enough (it shouldnt take you that long).

Buy the chicago typwriter and at the place (chapter 2) were you shot all the blue madalions in the main game there should be a dog (usually behind the barn) THE SECOND TIME YOU VISIT (after the cutscene were leaon and luis are carried on ganodas back).

That dog may seem invincable to you at first when you keep shooting it but when you have an infininte amo gun he isnt. So just keep shooting him (it will take a while but it's worth it) and when you stop shooting and the dog barks at you when you a little close thats means you're done.

Well not really what that means is when you start a new round main game the dog in the bear trap will leave 1,000,000 p. (yes 1 million) when you let him go and also help you fight el gigante.

Now you can spend that 1 million wherever a merchant his. Im so handy arnt I.

Ok this isn't much but it will help. To get some more good stuff like $700,incenarary grenades, and ammo. Shoot the birds like the crows ans stuff. At the begining of the game when you see your first crows shoot them you will get $700 and an incenary grenade.

Ok this was my favorite and boss and one of the easiest ok make sure you have a mine launcher with 10 ammo run over to the right side with the tenticale attach a mine to it and it should go in then shoot the eye of the monster salazar is in with the mine thrower after that take out a rocket launcher and blow him up he's litterly the easiest boss do that and you'll never get stuck on him like me this was the first Resident Evil game I ever played and I beat Salazar on my first try when everyone else is saying you have to be a more experianced player to beat him I beat him on my first try and so can everyone else

Mix These :
green+red+yellow Herbs =10000 pts
crown jwle+crown+Another one that find by leon
at lift where leon find a third jewel=48000

When you are in the cabbin that you fight the angry mob just after getting Ashley, shoot luise about six to eight times and there will be a movie. He shoots Leon and Leon dies.

*WARNING* When you do this it's a game over!

On the last boss battle, you battle Saddler in the form of a giant spider, to stun him easily, use a mine thrower but shoot him from a distance, not to far from him because he can get back up very fast, when he is down run up to him and press climb. Just keep repeating the process until Ada throws a special rocketlauncher to you. You can finish him off with the rocket launcher.
P.S. Make sure you have enough ammo for the mine thrower.

If your playing on professional mode DON'T KILL THE MERCHENT HE WILL STAY DEAD!!!!!

When any plagus come out of villagers or the knights heads throw a flash grenade near them and they will instantly die.Also when your trying to kill someone shoot their feet and then slash them with your knife

P.s to get out kinife press L1

When your low on ammo use your handgun and shoot crows they have really usefull items like the one on the wooden sighn just before the dog has a grenade
hope I helped :)

When you upgrade your capacity on your gun, you will get a full clip

THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE WHEN ASHLEY IS WEARING THE SUIT OF ARMOUR!!!!!!
On the level where ashley has to turn two s and you have to protect her (near the end of chapter 3-1)
Let one of the monk guys pick her up and he will fall and get crushed to by ashley!!!
Hope you like this hint!

Hey all sorry I've been out for so long but the RE4 guru is back see my forum and ask questions

P.S. Throwing eggs (with inf ammo) is fun hit the enemy in the leg and they fall

Simply use a flash grenade. This also works for the villagers when they regrow thier heads.

Killing Regenerators If you run out of rifle bullets get a TMP and just shoot all of the body until you hit the parasites try to shoot the arms off if possible.

An Easy Way Of Killing Salazar Get a Rocket Launcher and a Striker shoot the eye with the Striker and when the blue Salazar comes out shoot him with the Rocket Launcher he will die.

The Hard Way Jump down and hide in a corner so you can just see the blue Salazar when he comesout and when he comes out shoot him with a Mine Thrower.

After you get you neck chocked by the village cheif Mendez you can enter his room again in the next chapter do so and you will see a bonus scene with who else Ada she will save you from Mendez. It's not too importand but what Mendez does to chase her is funny

Use your mine thrower and shoot it into the heads and when the parasites come out just throw down a hand grenade and they will die.

This is the bit where you get the kings grail.

Handcannon- clear mercenaries mini game with all 5 character scoring 60,000 points or more with each.

when in the boss battle with ada vs. saddler i found it help th shoot not where the dot (laser line) is but to aim a little bit over his head and fire hope it helps

Don Perdo's the guys with the heads that swing ( small heads) they can't stand light soo hit them witha falsh gernade

At the end of the game, there will be a lift. A scene will start where Leon says "Something isn't wright." He makes Ashley stay in her place while he goes up the lift. Saddler is at the top and transforms into a giant monster. The monster has a head with an eye in it's mouth. It also has an eye on each leg. Most of the time the eyes on his legs are closed and the one in his mouth is always closed. There is of course a certain way to kill him. If you try to shoot him the bullets will bounce off except if you hit Saddler's body, but don't waste your ammo doing that because it doesn't do a whole lot of damage. There are a few things I need to explain. One, there are 2 bridges that keep opening and closing. Two, there are two sides. Three, On each side there is a small ladder that leads up to a swich. When you start, remember to try to conserve your ammo, and stay away from him as much as you can. You will need a rifle, and a shotgun. There are actually many ways to kill him. There is one explosive barrel on each side. Run behind one far enough so you don't get hurt from the explosion, then wait until he is next to it and shoot it. It will show a small scene where the monster is hurt really bad. He will open the eye in his mouth and lower it to ground. Quickly run up and shoot the eye with shotgun. After that climb up the small ladder and operate the switch. He will look behind him to see where Saddler is. Stand there untill Saddler
Is near the railroad tracks. Then pull it.

A crane will swing and smash him. Then his eye opens again. Quickly shoot it and jump down. If you miss, you can do it again but it takes a few seconds to be ready again and once you hit him you can't do it again. Run over the brige. It might fall so get ready to press two buttons to jump. Once you get to the other side, turn around and get out your rifle. He will try throwing railroad tracks at you so get ready to dodge. When he is just standing there, Shoot the eye on one of his knees if it is open. Keep doing this until he jumps over. Get behind the barrel like before and shoot it when he is next to it. Again shoot his eye and run to the other side and climb up and operate the switch
Again. Wait until he gets to about the same distance as before and hit him with the other crane.

When you hit him shoot his eye and jump back down. Keep running back and fourth to each platform and shoot his knee's eye then his mouth's eye. Once you do enough damge, a scene will show Ada Wong. She gives you a extremly high powered RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade). It will kill Saddler in one hit, SO DON'T MISS. You can also keep it for later use or sell it to a merchant when you start a new game for 60,000 money, but I used it. I'm not sure how you beat him without using it, but you problably use the same way with the rifle or shotgun utill he dies. Good Luck!

In the castle after you see saddler kill Luis and get Ashley back go back to the area before the maze.

There is a locked door with chests inside the room.With help from ashley you can get in here.(If you have played sepriate ways you know the room.

I mean the room with the hourglass.)

Anyways in the chest in the middle of the room is a FREE broken butterfly.

P.S. You still gotta uprgrade it though.

This is an easier way to defeat Krauser. You should use your knife,
Slash him and the bastard will use a smoke bomb to escape.

Thanks.

Of course, using your slasher isn't sufficient to defeat him.

You can use any type of your raging guns (whichever you prefer).
