\\\ INTRO ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// INT

Resident Evil 4 is one of the best RE series, in my opinion. A little sway from
RE mainstream that is shooting-mindless-walking-dead-zombies, this game still
maintain the horror theme of Resident Evil series. Your enemies now still have 
enough of their intelligent that make them able to bring and use various weapons
that make you choose what tactics you should use. Fighting your way to save
Ashley; killing those Plagas-infected persons, ranging from villagers, cultists,
up to soldiers ; giant bosses (you could even face two in an area); crazy 
chainsaw maniacs that love to cut your head; Quick Button Events that could mean
between life and death; and don't forget the famous Leon vs Krauser knife fight,
are some features that make this game interesting and even worth replaying again
and again.

From those features, I would like to cast the spotlight on the Death Sequences
or Death Scenes, the scenes of your death (I mean the character you're playing,
Leon or Ada) before you get the "You Are Dead" and "Continue? Yes / No" screen.
Is there anything interesting in it? YES. You see, for example, Leon could die
in MANY ways, instead of just having the lifebar entirely depleted. Head cut
off, stabbed, falling, etc. Most of the death scenes are the result of failing
to comply with the requested orders in Quick Button Events (such as pressing
simultaneously or tapping quickly). I believe you could "achieve" most of them
in one playthrough, and if you miss some, you could simply replay or load to
catch the death scenes you miss that I mention here :) Note also that my stress
here is mainly on the one-hit-kill death scene, rather than the usual death
way, except if the death scene is distinct from the normal. In other words, the
scenes mentioned here because they have either of these components :
1. It is a one hit kill (instant kill/death), or
2. Distinctive death scene, or
3. Special cause of death.
All other death scenes will be included in the "Normal" or "Mission Failed"
section. Hmm... now that I'm thinking, if you are playing the "Mercenaries"
mini-game, even Krauser, Wesker and Hunk can have their death scenes too!... =)
But it's not worth mentioned here anyway... they have only the "Normal" or
"Cutt Off Head" or "Blown" scenes (no spesific ones), also considering the fact
that it's only a sidegame.

Okay, consider this as a just-for-fun-guide, compared to the serious-complete-
walkthrough-guide. You could be surprised too to know how many various ways
the character could get their death, instead of simple 0 hitpoints or 0 life.
This could be a replay value too, isn't it...? XD

\\\ DEATH SCENES - Leon //////////////////////////////////////////////////// DSL

Other than the "Normal" death scene (L-01), most of the scenes is a one hit kill
or instant status you will get, regardless of your health / HP / lifebar. I have
also tried to arrange them so that they are in the order of the gameplay 
progress, for convenient.

-----------------
\ L-01 : Normal /
 ---------------

Scene : Just fall down to the ground, and dead...
Cause : Depleted HP / lifebar (or life circle-bar)
Location : Throughout the game

Explanation : 
This is the scenes that you will encounter the most, because you are too busy
shooting and forget to refill your lifebar, or because someone give you a
dynamite present, or you are too enjoy the scenery until you step up on a bomb
trap, etc. Depending on the amount of damage, you will have the lifebar drained
slowly and when it's empty, you get the "You Are Dead" achievement. Congrats!

-------------------------
\ L-02 : Mission Failed /
 -----------------------

Scene : Yelling "Oh... Nooo..."
Cause : Ashley killed or taken away
Location : Throughout the game, and Ashley with you

Explanation : 
This scene is more like a Game Over status. Regardless of your HP, if you are
careless enough to let Ashley being killed (either by the enemies or because
you are a shooting maniacs and forget that Ashley is not included in your
target), or being taken away, you get this scene. Well, a bit of annoyance she
can be (I hate escort mission type myself...), but she is your subject of rescue
anyway, and the daughter of the president, so just go on and be careful... ( and
no peeking around XD )

------------------
\ L-03 : Crushed /
 ----------------

Scene : Lying dead after crushed
Cause : Stomped by a large object...
Location : 1. Falling big rock at the village
           2. Fight with the giant
           3. Running from Salazar statue
           4. Boulder trap after 2 giants boss fight
           5. Ashley trapped with a drill machine , after the first ceiling trap

Explanation : 
You get this if something big fall upon you, which can happen at these 
locations : (1) when you get your first tapping button sequence at the village
where you have to race against rolling boulder; (2) at the fight with the giant,
after you kill him if you stand too close to him, there will be a button
sequence for you to evade the falling body of the giant; (3) the sprint race
against Salazar statue, you can either stomped by the giant statue if you're not
fast enough, or have the falling pillar crush you if you cannot evade it; and
(4) after you fight the 2 giants where you must open a sealed door using
reflected lights from mirrors, once you are able to open it you will directly
get a boulder trap sequence that you should do precise timing to pass, or you
will be crushed under. For (5), I'm unsure where this scetion should go to, but
I'll just put it in here, because the death scene is the simple one. After you
escape the first spiked ceiling trap commenced by Salazar, you will run through
a long corridor with Ashley. At the end of the corridor, a fence trap will fall
and separate Leon and Ashley, while a huge drilling vehicle show up in her back
crushing the wall and attempt to crush Ashley either. If you fail to kill the
two drivers/operators in time, you may get the "Mission Failed" screen. Another
interesting thing is after saving Ashley, try to get in the vehicle's path while
it's still moving (leave Ashley somewhere save). You'll get knocked back and
see the "You Are Dead" message.

------------------
\ L-04 : Axe cut /
 ----------------

Scene : A villager chop you
Cause : An axe and a maniac villager
Location : When you got tied up with Luis Sera

Explanation : 
After you find Luis in a wardrobe and get caught, you will wake up and find got
tied up with him in a room. And after a long chit-chat a villager wielding big
axe will come in and tried to chop you (perhaps the villager assume you as wood
logs?). If you are unsuccessful in the button sequence, you will get this scene,
a bloody one.

--------------------
\ L-05 : Swallowed /
 ------------------

Scene : Being eaten by a monster
Cause : A hungry, annoyed, or angry monster
Location : 1. Before the battle at the Lake (Del Lago)
           2. In the battle at the Lake (Del Lago)
           3. Battle with Salazar (and his... which one is it... ah, Left Hand)
              < thanks to William Bolt for the reminder >

Explanation : 
Most of this scene is happen at the battle with the lake monster after you get
in the boat to cross the lake. If you fall off your boat in the battle (either
knocked by the monster or wood logs), you must swim back to your boat fast, or
otherwise you will get this scene. The other one can be considered as hidden
death scene, because you may never knew it unless you read somewhere. Before
get in the boat, stand at the end of the pier, then just shoot anything to the
lake. The monster will get pissed off and will suddenly jump out of the water
and swallow you awhole. Yay! For the third cause, you can get it when battling
Salazar, who merged with his Left Hand and that giant plant Plagas monster
(hmm... as far as I remeber, this is the only Plagas mutation on plant...?
maybe...). The Left Hand (the protruding one with that big eye) will sometimes
opening his mouth wide. Don't run or evade or just stand right in front of it
and you may get bitten, awhole... Note that this will only happen or occur if
you're standing in the upper area, not in the lower floor.

------------------
\ L-06 : Drowned /
 ----------------

Scene : Drowned at the lake
Cause : A died monster who forgot to take off the anchor
Location : After the battle at the Lake (Del Lago)

Explanation : 
Still the continuation of the boss battle at the lake, after you kill it, it
will fall to the bottom of the lake. The problem is, it still have the anchor
attached to its body, and -luckily- the rope will wrap around Leon's leg and
pull him. If you're not good enough at tapping buttons (that is to cut the 
rope), you may get this drowned scene.

-----------------------
\ L-07 : Wolf Scratch /
 ---------------------
< thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Scene : A wolf with dripping blood in its mouth on top of Leon's corpse
Cause : Sharp fangs
Location : Encounter with wolf/dog-type enemy (Colmillos)

Explanation : 
It's a wolf or a dog? Anyway, when Leon meet this enemy, they will either jump
to Leon and bitting and scratching, or use the whipping Plagas that emerge from
its back. When they jump to Leon, while they are scratching his face, there will
be a shake off sequence. If your health is low enough, they may even kill Leon.
He will just lying dead there, while the Colmillos on top of him showing its
fangs dripping blood. Nice dog! (or wolf...)

-------------------
\ L-08 : Squeezed /
 -----------------

Scene : Get squeezed (and thrown away, for the giant battle)
Cause : Angry giant(s)
Location : 1. Battle with the giant (Gigante)
           2. Battle with the vilage chief (Bitoru Mendez)
              < thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Explanation : 
The giant has some types of attacks, whether at the first encounter, the second,
or at the battle with two of them. Stomping, hitting, etc., also this one. Grab
you and squeeze with his both hand until you are dead. Shake it off or he will
quickly empty the lifebar then throw Leon's dead body away. While Mendez (his
first form) will sometimes use his tentacle or arm or whatever it is that wrap
around Leon's body and squeeze him to death. Another shake off sequence here or
get squeezed.

-----------------------
\ L-09 : Cut off head /
 ---------------------

Scene : Leon's head cut off
Cause : Sharp chainsaw, hungry Plagas, giant roach, Garrador claw, flying scythe
Location : 1. Encounter with the chainsaw maniac
           2. Encounter with the green Plagas parasite
           3. Encounter with a giant bug
           4. Encounter with Garrador
              < thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >
           5. Encounter with scythe-wielding zealot
              < thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Explanation : 
There are two main cause of this scene: one is that huge chainsaw maniac with
masked face that love to cut someone's head instead of trees or logs; and a
spesific Plagas type that usually sprout from enemy's head. This Plagas type
come in green flavor, and has big mouth too... When you're too close to these
enemies, the maniac will swing his/her chainsaw towards your head (perhaps they
forget to read the safety guide manual...), or in case of the green Plagas,
it will cut and swallow your head instantly (somebody feed that hungry Plagas
please...). For the encounter of that giant insect (Novistador), it has various
attacks. One of them is a slash that can cut off Leon's head in a sway. Also
when you fight the Garradors, especially when the health is low, the swinging
attack can cut Leon's head too. The zealot with the scythe can also take Leon's
head away, preferrably with low HP and when they are in a spesific distance,
they will throw the scythe and cut his head in a swing. Bulls eye!

------------------------
\ L-10 : Friendly Fire /
 ----------------------

Scene : Shot by an ally
Cause : Friendly fire (or a mistrust?)
Location : When you are sieged in a house and meet Luis the second time

Explanation :
When you are swarmed by the Ganados in a house and you have to fight them along
with Luis at your side, if you shoot Luis several times -either by mistake or
intended purpose- you will get a cutscene where Luis will shot you twice and
send you to the "You Are Dead" screen. Adios, Leon!

---------------------
\ L-11 : Suffocated /
 -------------------

Scene : Leon is suffocated to death
Cause : Something that impede the prespiration process
Location : 1. Before boss fight with the Village Chief (Bitoru Mendez)
           2. Boss fight with U3 / "It"

Explanation : 
After you enter the shed, you will have a cutscene where the Village Chief
(Bitoru Mendez) will lift Leon and smack him down, then bend the door handles.
He will then turn around at Leon and try to grab him. Another button event to
evade and save your live. If you fail, he will lift Leon once again and this
time he will strangle Leon to death, and you have another cool death scene...
Another boss that can make Leon suffocated is U3 (or "It", according to Sadler).
I don't really know whether Leon die because of suffocation or broken neck, or
both... Anyway, at some point in the fight you will get a button prompt to dodge
and if you fail, its tounge will wrap around Leon's neck and pull him. Shake it
off or you get this scene.

----------------------
\ L-12 : Claw Strike /
 --------------------
< thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Scene : Stabbed in the face, scream, lifted, and stabbed again in the body
Cause : Wolverine-type claws
Location : At the castle after the first encounter with Novistador

Explanation : 
At the battle with Garrador, when he commence charging attack with his claws,
be prepare to dodge away. If not, instead of just getting a lot of hurt, he will
stab his claws right in Leon's face. While screaming, the Garrador will lift
him and use his another hand and stab Leon in his body (unnecessary I think,
it seems that Leon has already dead in the first face-stabbing...). 

---------------------
\ L-13 : Acid Burst /
 -------------------
< thanks to Darth Lonks for the reminder >

Scene : Leon's head skin get burnt by acid
Cause : Acid-spewing giant insect
Location : Encounter with Novistador

Explanation : 
The Novistador (that giant insect) has many attacks. Kicking you, slashing your
head, and also this one. Not to mention its ability to become invisible (where
does it learn that stealth spell? Pentagon should capture some...). At some time
it may jump to you then spewing acid. Though this is not a one hit kill
(instant kill), it is worth mentioning here as the scene is somewhat... special.

--------------------
\ L-14 : Axe Slice /
 ------------------
< thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Scene : Smashed by giant axe
Cause : A giant swinging axe(s)
Location : At the castle after the first encounter with Novistador

Explanation : 
After get introduced to the insects, next you will face a swinging pendulum axes
where you should time your passing. Just walk past or jump after it swing away,
NOT when it's right in your position, or you'll get smacked to the wall and die.

----------------------
\ L-15 : Lava Ambush /
 --------------------
< thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Scene : Ambushed by a giant and dragged to a lava pit
Cause : A giant swimming in lava...
Location : The battle with two giants

Explanation : 
In the battle with the two giants in the castle, you have the option to use the
lava pit to trap and eliminate one of the giants. Once you succeed in doing so,
you'll notice that for some moments the lava pit trap door still open and you
can see the fallen giant is trying to swim in the lava... (Okay just kidding, he
actually try to grab the edge, though useless). Try to get close near the open
lava pit, and the trapped giant will may grab Leon instead and get him fall to
the lava with the giant... a sweet revenge!

------------------------------
\ L-16 : Full Pressed Bodies /
 ----------------------------
< thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Scene : Ceilings pressing something (or someone...)
Cause : Compressing ceiling
Location : 1. At the Castle, before getting the Queen's Grail
           2. At the Castle, before the mine cart ride

Explanation : 
Two exact traps, on one level: spiked ceilling that designed to make some full-
pressed-bodies (from Leon's and Ashley's). The first one is when meeting
Salazar in a room where he commence a trap then run away. Don't bother following
him yet, as the exit door will close. The second one is before the mine cart
ride sequence. Both has the same override to stop it, shoot the lamps in the
ceiling. The second will get a little harder as there might be some Plagas for
your companion around. You have to do it quickly, or the ceiling will come down
and press whatever below it.

------------------
\ L-17 : Falling /
 ----------------

Scene : Fall to the bottomless abyss
Cause : You fall off the cliff... What's more?
Location : 1. At elevator cars, before the fight with Bitoru Mendez
              < thanks to Joe liu for the reminder >
           2. End of mine cart ride
           3. End of running from Salazar statue
           4. Battle with U3 ("It")
              < thanks to Joe liu for the reminder >

Explanation : 
Only on a few sequences in the game that you can get this scene. One is before
you fight the village chief, where you will ride the elevator car or lift or
gondola or whatever its name with Ashley. Beside shooting the incoming cars that
carry villagers, pay attention to your left side. Some villagers will just stand
there, and when the time is right, they will jump to the top of your car and try
to cut the chain. If they are succeed, then your car (along with the passengers
-legal & ilegal one) will have a freefall to the bottomless abyss. Also at the
mine cart ride at the end of the track, so after shooting those villagers and
chainsaw freaks that wants to accompany you in your ride, be ready to jump away.
Another one is when you are racing against Salazar giant statue, after you open
the lock at the exit. You will run accross the bridge and Salazar statue will
fall and crush the bridge so you have to jump accross. For #2 and #3, you will
also still have to help Leon to "climb" (button mashing), otherwise Leon will
loose his grip and fall to the "You Are Dead" world... Last, at the battle in a
hanging cage with U3, or some may call it "It" (Well, Saddler only said "It"
without referring any names...). There's a timer here, which you should pay
attention to, especially after pressing the emergency switches. If you can't
make it out in time, then the entire cage will fall down to the abyss. You must
do this three times to escape.

----------------------
\ L-18 : Hit a Truck /
 --------------------

Scene : Hit by a truck and laying dead
Cause : A drunken driver?
Location : After the fight with Bitoru Mendez, before entering the castle

Explanation : 
After you obtain access to get out from the village and going to the castle, you
will meet several villagers on the road. Up the road, you will see a cutscene
that a truck is starting its engine and head towards you. The driver seem to be
drunken or something, because it also hit the other villagers in his path
(perhaps it is a bad idea to have a Plaga in your body while driving...? Plaga
and drive really don't mix). You have two tasks here: shoot the truck and evade
as it crash. Fail either of it will get you this simple scene.

------------------
\ L-19 : Stabbed /
 ----------------

Scene : Various, you choose it :)
Cause : A stalacmite, your own knife, a commando knife, or a transformed arm
Location : 1. Before the fight with the Right Hand
           2. After the Salazar statue sequence
           3. Leon vs Krauser knife fight
           4. Leon vs Krauser with transformed arm

Explanation : 
Yeah, many scenes you can get from this one, especially at the knife fight with
Krauser. First, after you solve the clock tower puzzle in the castle and enter
the next building greeting two Garradors, you'll meet Salazar. He will then
press a secret button that activate a trap door and Leon will fall down. Button
sequence will appear, so Leon will survive. A failure here will make Leon fall
right on a sharp stalacmite under him, an instant death. Leon sure does lucky.
Second, after you won the race against Salazar statue and enter the next
hall, a cutscene appears where you have some talk with Salazar, and at one point
Leon will throw his knife that hit Salazar's hand. Not long after, his guard
will pull the knife and throw it back at Leon, so be ready to dodge. Otherwise,
you will taste your own medicine right below your neck. Third, is the famous
knife fight with Krauser (first encounter). Even before the fight begin, you
must evade his surprise attack in order to stay alive. Many death scenes you can
choose here: stabbed in the chest, neck slashed, heart stab, and more... try it
all yourself. Last, at the second encounter with Krauser, where he will begin to
use his Plagas-infected transformed arm. You will have a timed fight here, and
at some point especially when Krauser is near you he will slam you to the ground
and then jump. A dodging sequence will appear to evade the attack. If you fail,
he will instantly kill you by stabbing with his transformed arm while you're
still lying on the ground.

----------------
\ L-20 : Blown /
 --------------

Scene : You, or an entire island, get blown
Cause : Dynamite, or time-bomb
Location : 1. Encounter with dynamite maniac
           2. Water ski sequence (end of game)

Explanation : 
For the first cause, I have only once meet this situation. When you encounter a
dynamite-wielding maniac, let them ignite the fuse first. Before they get the
chance to throw it, go near them, and as usual the enemy will try to grab you,
with the ignited dynamite still on their hand! If let long enough, both of you
could be blown up... cool. For the second one, is at the end of the game after
you beat Saddler mutated form (the final boss), and have to escape the island
because Ada have activated a time bomb to clean up the whole mess (Why don't she
give a little ride for Leon and Ashley so you don't have to use the water ski
anyway? There are still enough room on the chopper...). You have to make it in
time to escape with the water ski, otherwise the island will be toasted with
Leon and Ashley still in it.

---------------------
\ L-21 : Cut Throat /
 -------------------
< thanks to William Bolt for the reminder >

Scene : Get a cut throat, or a really serious bite on your neck...
Cause : Sneaky Krauser, or vampire's... I mean, Regenerator's fangs
Location : 1. Leon vs Krauser (before using his transformed arm)
           2. Encounter with the Regenerator (the normal variant)

Explanation : 
During your second encounter with Krauser, you're playing some hide-and-seek
game with him. Krauser will often use flash grenades and dissapear, then just
reappear again from nowhere surprising you, shooting arrows from far away
(looser!), or trying to cut your throat. Get some shaking off sequence or you'll
be dead. For the second cause, you could find it when you come across a
Regenerator (the normal one, NOT the spiky one). Just get up close and personal
with him, and he will show his fangs then bite you on the neck, dracula style,
yeah... Another shake off moment to be done, or watch Leon vainly try to
staunch the blood flow, then fall down because of heavy blood loss. Ouch!
Okay, Krauser's ambush isn't a one-hit-kill, just note that both has relatively
the same death animation (Leon desperately holding his bleeding neck).

------------------------
\ L-22 : Laser Toasted /
 ----------------------

Scene : Get toasted and lying dead
Cause : High intensity laser beams
Location : After the knife fight versus Krauser

Explanation : 
Remind you of the film, especially the third and fourth set of laser beams. The
first and second is quite easy to pass, while the last ones will require some
button sequences so you can evade them by jumping through (cool...!). If your
timing or button pressing ability is bad, then you could be toasted in no time
(and don't hope that the death scene is somewhat like in the movie, it's just a
simple death scene though...).

-----------------
\ L-23 : Halved /
 ---------------
< thanks to Joe Liu for the reminder >

Scene : Cut in half in the waist
Cause : "It"
Location : Boss fight with U3 / "It"

Explanation : 
Another attack type of "It". In his first form the tounge will only strangle
Leon. In the final form, especially at the battle in the ledge after escaping
the hanging cage, it will grab Leon's leg. You should shake it off, because if
you late his scissor will cut Leon's in his waist separating the upper and lower
body. "It" will then lift Leon's lower body so you can examine the death scene
clearly. Cool distinct death scene you see...

---------------------
\ L-24 : Hit a Rock /
 -------------------

Scene : Off the water ski
Cause : Enjoying water skiing too much...
Location : Water ski sequence (end of game)

Explanation : 
Also in the water ski sequence at the end of the game, while riding you will
also have to make a left or right dodge to evade the rocks that block your
route. So remember to move the control left or right instead of just
accelerating, or else you will hit them and have to start all over again.


Wow! Over TWENTY various ways to die, not to mention the scene breakdowns,bravo
for Leon! (Okay, no offense for Leon...) Have you tried them all...? Hmm, or
perhaps we should start some polling for the "Best Death Scene"...? =)


\\\ DEATH SCENES - Ada ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// DSA

This section is dedicated for the extras that available after you beat the game
once, where you will play as the femme Ada Wong. There are two extras which
has Ada as the main character, that is "Assignment Ada" or "Ada the Spy"; and
"Separate Ways". I will include them all here, note that most of them are the
same with Leon's death scenes. The only difference is on "Separate Ways" at the
final battle where you can get another spesific death scene. For the others that
have similarities with Leon's, I will only give a brief explanation. This list
is not as lenghty as Leon's, as the gameplay is also much shorter than the main.
Uhh... I know we love Ada... this is only for the completion of this guide, ok?
Sorry, Ada... XD

-----------------
\ A-01 : Normal /
 ---------------

Scene : Just fall down to the ground, and dead...
Cause : Depleted HP / lifebar (or life circle-bar)
Location : Throughout the game (Assignment Ada & Separate Ways)

Explanation : 
Same with Leon (see above). Pay attention to your health or you can visit the
"Continue? Yes / No" screen several times.

-----------------------
\ A-02 : Cut off head /
 ---------------------

Scene : Ada's head cut off
Cause : Sharp chainsaw or hungry Plagas
Location : 1. Encounter with the chainsaw maniac
           2. Encounter with the green Plagas parasite
           (Separate Ways only)

Explanation : 
Same with Leon (see above). Watch out for chainsaw freaks or a green Plagas that
may sprout from the enemies, and stand far enough from them.

------------------
\ A-03 : Axe cut /
 ----------------

Scene : A villager chop you
Cause : An axe and a maniac villager
Location : After Ada save Leon from Bitoru Mendez (village chief)
           (Separate Ways only)

Explanation : 
Ada will be taken to a cave and apparently prepared for a ritual sacrifiction.
At the cutscene, after done praying, the frontmost villager will begin to swing
his axe. Button sequence here, and Ada will perform a life-saving summersault.
If you fail, you got a bloody scene, same like Leon.

----------------
\ A-04 : Blown /
 --------------

Scene : Ada, or a warship, or a platform get blown
Cause : Dynamite, heavily-broken warship, or time-bomb
Location : 1. Encounter with dynamite maniac
           (Assignment Ada and Separate Ways)
           2. Battle at the warship on the dock
           3. Rocket launcher sequence (end of game)
           (Separate Ways only)

Explanation : 
For the first cause, it is the same like Leon. Get near an enemy who hold
ignited dynamite and let them grab you, wait a little longer, and KABOOM!... The
second one is at the warship on the dock, especially when you are near the exit,
where all turrets on the ship now targetting Ada. After Ada get a hold on a
machine gun using keycard and blow a turret, the ship will begin to brake, and
a timer will appear. Ada will have to make it out in time, before the ship
finally explode and sink. The last one is after Saddler mutates into his final
form and Leon has to fight him to save the world. Ada will have to jump platform
to platform using her Grappler Gun with a timer on, to reach the rocket launcher
at the end and give it to Leon to save the day. If the time is up, the platform
will explode and the "you Are Dead" screen appears.

------------------
\ A-05 : Stabbed /
 ----------------

Scene : Stabbed in the ground or in the air
Cause : A tentacle with blade or a transformed arm
Location : 1. Encounter with Krauser
           (Assignment Ada and Separate Ways)
           2. Boss fight against Saddler
           (Separate Ways only)

Explanation : 
Ada will meet Krauser both in Assignment Ada and Separate Ways with his
transformed arm, where in Assignment Ada he is the last boss. Same with Leon,
there is a chance where he will use his finishing move after slam you to the
ground and jump trying to stab with his transformed arm. Dodge by button
sequence, or get this death scene. The final one is on the boss battle against
Saddler in his normal form. At some times Saddler will extend his tentacles
(from his right hand) and grab Ada. His bladed tentacle will then also coming
out, and a button sequence appears. Do the button tapping correctly will release
Ada, while doing the opposite will make the bladed tentacle stab Ada and lift
her to the air, just like when he kills Luis in the maingame cutscene.


\\\ PC KEYS //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// PCK

Okay, just consider this a little bonus. Because I'm playing the PC version, and
not many guides out there that talk about this version, so I have to figure out
all the buttons myself... If you have the X,Y,L,R,A,B in game consoles, in PC
version it is 1,2,3,4,5,6 buttons. The control configuration only state the
actions and assigned buttons (keyboards), while in the game (like in the Quick
Button Event) it is shown as " 1 / 3 " instead of " Ctrl / Enter ". For example,
the button for "Ready knife" is Left Shift ("Shift(L)") and "Ready weapon" is
Right Shift ("Shift(R)"), but at the Quick Button Event when it is displayed
" 5 + 6 " to dodge, how would I know it is to press Left Shift and Right Shift?
So, here are the control keys for PC version, where the action keys already
defined at the control configs.

   1  =  Enter
   2  =  F
   3  =  Ctrl
   4  =  I
   5  =  Left Shift
   6  =  Right Shift
