When You Go Into The Village The First Time Don't Go And Get The Shotgun When You Get It The Chainsaw Guys Come Just Wait It Out. When You Meet The Merchant Buy The Shotgun Then When You Get Back To The Village Go To Where The Shotgun Is And Grab It So You Have 2 Shotguns And You Didn't Have To Fight The Chainsaw Guys.
Note: If You Grab The First Shotgun In The Village You Can't Get The One From The Merchant Because It Says You Have One Which You Do. Also If You Grab The Shotgun In The Village You Have To FightThe Chainsaw Guys If You Don't Believe ME Try It.

To avoid the first chainsaw fight in the first village, enter the village and and just run around killing everyone but don't go into the house with the picket fence infront (this is where you aquire the first shotgun). If you enter while everyone is still after you then it'll go to a cutsene and the chainsaw guy will come, just keep runing and killing until the cutsene with the bell and everyone leaves. Then you can enter and get the shotgun and ammo.

Althoough this is an easy way to avoid the hassel of taking care of a chainsaw, you don't get the money he drops when you kill him. But this is good for first time players or if you just wanna get through asap.

Hope I helped.

Go up to a enemy and when he/she attacks, move back quickly and move up when the enemy has the attack at END and quickly PRESS AND HOLD L1 AND PRESS X WHILE HOLDING L1 SLASH YOUR KNIFE AT ENEMYS FACE. Stun then slash when you kicked him. Slash when there on the ground.

Salazar is harder than saddler in my experience first get a powerful weapon and shoot the left hand in the eye and when salazar pops out pump him full of lead and he will dissapear repeat this process until he dies good luck

When your walking trough the place where your going to fight the''el gigante''
Later, it will be a group of birds there.
Just trow a granade ( Any kind)
All of the birds will die. (Unless your a horrible trower)
Then go collect the items.
You will get like 200 - 1000 ptas.

When your heading to the village just run to the house where the mark is
When you enter the door the cutscene and the chainsaw man will appear.
Then you push the book cases infront of the door and the windows.
Then you collect all the items and go up the stairs.
When your at the end of the stairs you will see a shotgun hanging on the wall.
Take it and collect all the items.
Then you jump out of the window (Not the window with the ladder)
And when your out on the roof, you will see a ledge.
Just run on it around the house and you will see a spinel.
Take it, turn around and wait for the enemies to come.
Then you'll just shoot them with your handgun.
Don't use the shotgun on the other enemies.
Its just a waste of ammo.
When the chainsaw dude appears.
Let him run close to you and shoot him away.
When he is lying down, just knife or shoot him.
Continue doing this untill he die.
Take his item and continue to kill the other enemies.
After a while a cutscene will appear and the enemies will walk away.

Knife: When he is using his mutated arm as a shield, just slice the arm and he will get stunned.
Continue untill he dies.
(Remember to dodge)

Rocket Launcher:

Many people says it is inpossible to kill Krauser with a Rocket Launcher.
Well, their wrong.

When he is using the arm as a shield just aim the Launcher on his knees, fire, and he will die.

When Ashley is standing on the top of a cliff or a lader and you are standing under her, just aim up under her skirt and she will call you a pervert or something like that.

When you beat the game for the second time and starts on the third you will get the ''Special costumes'' screen.
They choose the Special custome 2.
When you meet Ashley the first time she will be wearing a armor.

The armor makes her immortal.
You can't kill her, not even with a rocker Launcher.
And when enemies tries to carry her away she will be too heavy.
That makes the game much easier because you don't have to look after her all the time and you can use health on yourself.

You can also use her to avoid enemies.
Just hide behind her and the badguys will try to carry her away.
Then you can just knife them.

After killing the first ''Zombie'' in the beginning of the game you just go out of the house.
Kill the one's thats outside.
Then you go to a little house with some herbs and ammo.
You will hear a sound of a dog.
Continue and you will find the dog stuck in a bear trap.
Go close to it and press the action button.
Leon will help the dog and it will run away.
Then when your going to fight the first ''el gigante'' just fire some bullets at it.
Then their will be a cutscene where the dog comes.
The dog will distract the gigante and make it easier for you to kill the gigante

Matilda is one of the best pistols in resident evil.
Beat the game once.
When you start a new game the Merchant buying screen will pop up.
And you can buy the infine Rocket Launcher and the Matilda gun

A machinegun with unlimited ammo.
Just beat the seperate ways minigame.
It costs a million ptas, but it's worth it!

Whats better than a Rocket Launcher?
A Infinite Rocker Launcher of course!
Just beat the game once to unlock it.
Then get 1,000,000 ptas
And buy it !

When you get in the village you will either kill them first or just go to the house with the fence around it.Inside will be stairs go up the stairs and there will be a shotgun and it looks like it's in a picture.

When you fight Krauser to get the final Insignia to open the door there is a trick to killing him really fast,but you have to get the right timing.

When he is about to attack you slash his knees with your knife and he will kneel on one leg.Take out your Broken Butterfly with the Exclusive Upgrade and shoot his face.Keep Repeating until he dies

P.S. You can also just tap the shoot button with the PRL.412 and He will die(but whats the fun in that?)

P.S.S If you run out of Magnum ammo go get some over to your left when you dodge krauser at the very beginning of the fight.

Hope this helps,

When you walk into the house where the shotgun is a cutscene will start showing that Leon will have to either hold off El Salvador or neutralize him.Push the Bookcase in front of the Window that has been barred up with wood.Then Go upstairs and grab the shotgun.

Grab the money on the bed and take the Grenade in the cabinet and jump out the window(NOT the one with the ladder in front of it) and knock down the ladders,but don't jump down just yet.Go to the window that you jumped out of and turn left.There will be a ledge on the side of the house.

Go around and grab the Spinel that lies on the roof.Go on the otherside and wait for El Salvador.If anyone that is not the chainsaw man comes near shoot them with ONLY the Handgun.Save your Shotgun Rounds for Chainsaw McGee(I call him that).

When he gets near you shoot him in the head.then go up to him and when he is on the ground shoot him some more in the head.

Repeat until dead.

P.S. This wont work in The Mercinaries level:Water World with the Double Bladed Chainsaw Guy with Leon.

Throughout the game of Resident evil 4 you will come across many different animals including hawks, chickens, snakes, fish, cows and many others, you may not know that they drop some great items. If you ever see a hawk shoot them for ammo, and money. If you come across a chicken they will drop eggs if you shoot them or just follow them around. If you find a snake stab/shoot it and it will drop an egg. And if you come across a fish in the water stab/shoot it and it will replenish health the large one will also sell for 2500 PTS and the small fish for 500 PTS but the fish also take up alot of inventory space. I do not think that cows drop anything. If I find more animal droppers I will post them here.

When you go back into the village there are places for Ashley to hide, they are orangeish redish colored, they look a little like dumpsters. All you have to do is walk up to the dumpster looking things until you see a command that says R2 Hide. Press the R2 button and Ashley will hide in the dumpster things. Until you reach the Castle these dumpsters are along the way. Clear the village before calling Ashley to you, or the zombie dudes will attempt to kidnap her, and then you have to save her all over again, this time all you have to do is kill the zombie before the zombie gets to an exit point. Normally you have between 5 to 10 seconds to kill the zombie or you get the Mission Failed screen.

When you clear the village call Ashley to you and move on. Every time you see a dumpster thing, tell Ashley to hide in it and clear the area. This is a relatively long process getting through the village because you have to make sure you have Ashley in a hiding spot before attacking the zombies, some zombies will attempt to kill you both.

Once you reach the castle, there are no hiding spots for Ashely. When you fight zombies you have to protect yourself and Ashely. It sucks, but I believe it is meant to be more intense once you reach the castle.

Okay, this might be complicated. Make sure you have 500,000 or 300,000 pesetas
It a good start for selling your old weapons if you fully upgraded it. Find every treasures and ammo in every area and you will need to save it up for a fully money to sell it to the merchant really easily but save it up to the end by the boss battle against Saddler. Just try to get your favorite weapon that you want so badly. If you beat mercenaries with all of the characters you will easily rewarded the handcannon it good for bosses and subosses battles. If you beat pro first time you get the P.R.L you can do cheesy shots against the subosses and bosses like Krauser, Verdugo, U-3, Garrador, and Saddler.

P.S. THIS IS FOR GAMEMASTERS ONLY!!!!!!
YOUR WELCOME TO READ IT

Ask anyone who has beaten this game and they will tell you, that protecting Ashley while re-visiting the village was a pretty tough challenge. While re-playing the level today, I came up with some tips that can help anyone out with the level, and possibly make it easier. Alright, the first thing that you want to do, is use your hears and listen for sounds. Capcom did a good job on this part because the rain and thunder blocks out the sound of footsteps, so keep on your toes because a Ganado could be behind you and you would not even know it. As soon as you leave the church, go up into that big tower, and climb up the ladder. When Ashley climb up into the tower, tell her to wait there, this will keep her safe from any harm. Pull out your Sniper Rifle and look around that house where you get the shotgun from on your first visit, you should see a ganado around there so shoot them in the head. Then, turn left so that you are looking to the left of the church entrance, and you should see another Ganado, kill him as well. Leave the tower(leaving Ashley up there) and go onto the roof of the house where you got the Shotgun. Now, face the exit of the village with your Sniper Rifle, and zoom in all the way. If you look closely, you should be able to see the red of the Ganado's eyes even though you cannot see their bodies. Shoot them, and when they are dead, shoot the beartraps with your handgun. Go near the entrance to the village, and you should see more Ganados coming at you so go into a building and shoot at them as they try to come in. After that, call Ashley, walk past the Bear traps, and go through the exit.


Hope this helps.

Professional mode, as all of us who have beaten it can tell you, is extremely hard. Whether it is the lack of finding ammunition, the enemies taking more than 10 shots to kill, or if it's just being a whole lot stronger, Professional mode is very challenging. To not a very hard point, I could tell you about the Pueblo village, with at least 30 Ganados inside of the village that you can kill, it is hard. Some tactics that you can use to survive are to conserve ammo by killing everyone in the special way that I kill them. What you do is shoot them once in the face. After you shoot them, you should be able to kick them, so kick them to the ground and then slice their bodies with a knife while they are lying on the ground. This will save you ammo, kill them, and you have no risk of getting hurt. Go into a house, and block the door with a dresser. Now, using the handgun, shoot one or two holes in the door so that the door is still standing while you can see out. Using the hole, you can shoot people outside of it while they cannot hit you. Another tactic you can try is to save your grenades, and use them only on massive parties.

As well know, upgrading guns can cost a lot of money. If you add up all of the cost, then the cost of fully upgrading one gun all by itself can easily add up to over 1 million dollars. Each gun though, will take over 150,000 PETAS to fully upgrade that gun. When you fully upgrade each gun, you will be able to buy a special upgrade that while useful, can cost a lot of money. So what I suggest for you to do in order to save money, is to focus only upgrading one or two guns at a time. I always upgrade the Handgun first, because that is the gun that I use the most. Do not upgrade the regular handgun as you will sell it soon, but upgrade the Red 9 when you get it, because it is the most powerful handgun in the main storyline. Upgrade the Stinger Shotgun, the TMP, the Auto-Rifle, and the Broken Butterfly as well as they are the best guns to have in the game the first time you are playing through.


Hope this helps.

In the begining of the game(for those have complete only),buy the Matilda or the Red 9 and Broken Butterfly(fully upgrade them).Oh,dont forget to buy Striker.

The best gun for this is the semi auto rifle.shoot his leg with the semi auto rifle,keep hiting him with the while hes on the ground and hel die

Easy money

Once you gain access to the tunnel with the merchant beyond Pueblo, return to the farm area and wait for the chickens there to lay eggs. Exit and re-enter to begin the same process over again. After you fill your inventory, you can return to the nearby merchant to sell your eggs. White chicken eggs sell for 300 Pesetas, brown eggs for 600 Pesetas, and golden eggs for 3,000 Pesetas. It's good money, and it doesn't take long at all. Sometimes the chickens won't lay eggs, but you still the quantity you always get. White eggs you get often, brown everyone once in a while, and golden ones rarely. However, it's really good money, so I'd consider trying it. Good luck, and happy gaming. If you have any problems, just contact me.

Do you know you can actually control the title screen of this game? When in the title screen prees the right analog stick to control the backgroung use R1 to zoom in and L1 to zoom out.

When killing Saddler at the very end of the game keep the rocket launcher that Ada throws to you and don't use it. When you play the game again you can sell it for lots of dough!

Before fighting Krauser go back to the shopman and get the Broken Butterfly. Fully upgrade it and it will go to 50 HP. Then go fight Krauser and all you have to do is shoot him twice, in the arm and in the chest and he will die.

Hope it helped

Start a new game with the Chicago Typewriter in your inventory and costume 2 (the gangster costume) on. Take the Chicago Typewriter out and try to reload it. Leon does two poses. The first three times it's done, Leon will lift up his hat and grunt. The fourth time, he will throw his hat up into the air, catch it and strike an awesome pose. It has no effect on gameplay, but it looks really cool, especially after killing something, such as a boss!

I'm actually surprised this was never discovered (or at least shown here).

Hate those Gonados in the villige and military base(island) because of those swinging parasites well I just saw that is you shoot it while the big blade is not out still then you do more damage.. Also when the parasite is out don't do bodyshots at all only the parasite. A flsh grenade works too but you should then make sure many guys have their parasites exposed.

To defeat Saddler easily, you will need the Mine Thrower and either a fully upgraded Broken Butterfly or a standard Killer 7. First, shoot Saddler with the Mine Thrower, then shoot his eye with the Killer 7. This does a lot of damage to Saddler. When Ada throws the Rocket Launcher, equip it and shoot to kill Saddler. Then pick up the 100,000 pesetas he drops.

Okay remember when you have to get the sacrifice for the lion you have to go underground right.

You will see bear traps and in the skull are waiting two Dr. Salvadors.

Well first of all did they ever catch a bear or use a chainsaw down there.

And second: Even if salvador has brothers damn both those two are retarded cause the first keeps running at you refusing to use the ladders or the stairs.
And the second idiot doesnt even know whats going on upstairs you can just leave through the ladder.

I just realised that this is'nt much of a hint but it's just insulting the gonados.

Okay I'm sure all you guys know that behind every picture of Saddler in the castle is 5000 pesetas right.

When you get on the small car things that take you to the start again on the first one there is a picture of a man.

He's not Saddler but behind it is 5000 pesetas.

Ganados: Any handgun
Comillos:Any Shotgun
Crows: Flash Grenade
El Gigante: Rocket Launcher
Novistadors: Riot Gun or Striker
Dr. Salvador: Shotgun
Bella Sisters: Shotgun or Incenidary grenades
Armaduras: Grenades
El Garrador: Broken Butterfly
J.J: Broken Butterfly or Killer7
Las Plagas: Flash Grenade
Chief Mendez: Shotgun
Salazar: Broken Butterfly and Rocket Launcher
Krauser: Knife and Broken Butterfly
Regenerator: Incenidary grenades or Semi-auto Rifle
Saddler: Broken butterfly and Rocket Launcher

To easily kill crows, throw a flash grenade in their direction.

Start a new game on the Normal Difficulty setting. When you get to the village in chapter 1-1 you will be attacked by a group of ganados (Dont go into any of the buildings otherwise he will not appear). Go to the door that leads to the farmhouse. Dr.Salvador and 2 ganados will be guarding the door. If you kill Dr.Salvador, you will get a ruby worth 10,000 pesetas.

Warning:this hint is only to the last part of the krawsetr fight on the castle not that part when he pulls out a tmp.

Collect the yellow herb and combine it with a green herb so your max health is raised then serch the top of the tower for the second peice and then you'll see a little cutscene were krawser throws away his tmp and grows a blade on his arm


The fight



Grab any wepon but your powerfulest wepon(not the rocket launcher) and start shooting krawser on his leg.
Once he goes down quicly press start and grab your powerfulest wepon(not the rocket lancher or granades) and give him a blast in the face










Tip:krawsers life is aproxemetley from 75.0 hp to 100.0 hp

This is really helpful when fighting the first el-gigante don't kill him first take the yellow herb there and use it with a green herb. Then die you will start at the same spot with the health boost but the herb will be back. Fill your inventory and then sell some to the merchant for $3000. The later ones can be sold or given to Ashley. Also it helps if you saved the dog this way you get more time to explore.
