When ever you get the striker you can do this. So equip the striker and resume game, ready the weapon (just before the gun is straight) and hit the inventory button and equip any other gun( can't be a shotgun).this will make you move faster and shoot faster. If this doesn't work send me a message and I will get to you.
Immediately run left, jump down, back yourself in the corner, and rack up craploads of ammo to fire or sell by shooting the neverending flow of spider lookin things. One shot kill with striker shotgun. Pick and choose once xl attache case is full.have fun.
Here's something I thought would be a little fun to try out...
In Chapter 1-3, as you are heading off to fight Del Lago, head onto the dock where the boat is moored, but don't get onto the boat. Instead, get out any weapon and start shooting into the lake. After shooting enough times, Del Lago will emerge and devour Leon, along with half the dock.
If you knew that already, here's something I bet you didn't know. It's a glitch caused by triggering the same cut-scene. Fire into the lake, but don't do it from the dock. Shoot from further away. When Del Lago emerges to eat you, he will only eat the dock, as you are not standing on it. However, the game will count it as a death, and you will see the 'You Died' message, despite the fact that you can actually hear L..
You can obtain several weapons in this game for free. Here I will list the locations of these weapons:
Handgun - Automatically available from the start of the game.
Shotgun - Found in the house that triggers the villager attack cut-scene in the village in 1-1. It is in the upstairs bedroom, hoisted on the wall. However, on the Easy difficulty, it is automatically available from the start of the game, like the Handgun.
Punisher - Shoot 10 of the 15 Blue Medallions around the village and cemetery. The Merchant will give you this gun for free the next time you see him. If you shoot all 15 of the Blue Medallions, you'll also get a free Firepower upgrade for the gun.
Rocket Launcher - Found towards the end of 3-3, in the large room with the bridge c..
first thing you want to do is to shoot him in the head to where he bends down on his knees and you runn up and equipt your knie and slice him in the head a couple times and thats the easiest way to kill Krauser.
at the first house in the beginning shoot all three birds to get money and a spinal
to play as ahley with a weapon go to the level where you play as her and use a have all weapons cheat.And bingo she has a weapon.
Resident Evil 4, like the other games in the series, features three different types of healing herb, which can be combined in numerous ways. However, due to the removal of the Poison status from the game, the Blue herb is replaced by the Yellow. The chart below lists all possible combinations and the effects of herbs when used:
Green - Restores a small amount of health
Green + Green - Restores a large amount of health
Green + Green + Green - Fully restores health
Red - Cannot be used alone
Yellow - Cannot be used alone
Green + Red - Fully restores health
Green + Yellow - Restores a small amount of health and adds an extra 5 percent to total health
Green + Green + Yellow - Restores a large amount of health and adds an extra 5 percent to total ..
This is as close to a complete list as any I have found. I have compiled this from over 100 playthroughs.

If you take the boat over to the previous island (after you have killed the Del Lago), the previous island is the one you were on before fighting the Del Lago. Go there at the night time to find a cut-scene of the dogs approaching you and one having a parasite burst out of it's body. They are pretty easy to deal with, and there are only 3 of them.
Ok to kill salasar use a mine dart oon the monster then use a rocket on him and he's dead
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.
Do you have no money and want to get a broken butterfly? Well you don't need any money! Here's what you do. After you beat the part where you have to play as Ashley just keep on backtracking until you reach the area where you had to shoot the wine bottle. Look around for an opening in the wall. When you find it go through it and you should find yourself in a hallway. At the end there should be a door. *Keep in mind that there is another hallway in the area that isn't the right one so keep looking around for it* When you go through the door there'll be some insects in the room. After you kill the insects proceed to the next room. The door will have a lock on it so just slash it off. You should recognize the room. Anyway turn right and go through the door. Go around the corner and you shou..
The second time you fight Krauser 85% of the time he will run up to you and try to slash you with his knife. Lucky for you, you also have a knife. Sometimes he'll dash from left to right at you. Just get your blade ready and slice his face when he's close enough. If you do it right you could defeat him without using a single bullet. But you mite have to use ammo on the robotic drones he sends at you near the end of the fight.
When you get to the first village were you use the banoculars to look...take the left path and go inside the closest house...then get ready to shoot everyone in your way..try to stay alive..because there isnt alot of people you need 2 kill.once the first preview comes up when it looks like there are alot of villagers going 2 get you...there isnt just go outside but don't go into any more houses our this cheat wont work just kill untill there isnt anymore people left then you waont have to face off with the chain saw dude and like 20 other people trust me...u might save more amo and don't get discouraged if you die a few times trying to do this just try untill you succeed
If you play as ada,you get the most suckest weapons ever.but if you improvise,you can either shoot someone in the knees or the face and they will flinch(do it with the punisher)and while they`re flinching,you can fan kick them to save some ammo.(NOTE:this only works best if you do it in ada`s mission,not the mercenaries thing)
Here aresome deaths MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SAVED BEOFRE EACH OF THERE CUTSCENES!!!
1:before the del lago(lake monster) fight stand at the docks and shoot the monster will show you what he thinks of you =D
2:it let is cut you with siccor tail or let it snap your neck when the cliffside battle commences let it kill you from under ground =D hope you had fun with these
When you fight the bugs for a few seconds after they turn invisible their 3 eyes glow so it would be better to shoot them then
First unlock mercenaries and assignment ada beat mercenaries and unlock the handcannon buy that and fully tune it up next unlock the chicago typewriter get enough money to buy it finally collect everything you can and buy the infinite launcher it would also help to have 2 of every granade and a health can
Enter the room and after the salazaar tranformation cutscene move to the far right and shoot the arm coming out of the wall with the shotgun or tmp, then the arm will disappear for few seconds, this allows you to literally stand in one spot and attack salazaar at your own leisure.
If you want to save ammo or are really low on ammo you can use your knife. Or you can melee them when they get close but it only distracts them.
You can get this cutscene when you are in the house with luis and gandos are breaking in - SPOILER BELOW -
Knife or shoot luis about 6 times and you will get a cutscene were luis says, "adios leon", and shoots him in the chest and kills him, he'll be breathing deep, be aware this obviously gets you a game over
When you enter the room where you fight the two El Gigantes (EGs for short) and you use the lever trick(get one of the EGs on the platform in the center and pull the lever to make it fall in the lava.), kill the other EG then leave the room. If you go back into that room again the money for the EG that fell in the lava will be there just look around where it fell.
For those of you that don't know this,this is prety cool.Ok,when you start a new game,wait till you get to the village.Run into the house with fence around it if you want.Theres a tower on the other side of the village from where you entered.Go there,climb up the ladder and wait like 10 seconds.I don't know why they can't climb the ladder but instead they throw molotove cocktails at you through the window!

Ragnarok out.
Handgun: always carry a handgun in case of any ammunition loss
RED9: powerful, but has slower reloading than the other pistols
Punisher: weak but you can blast a hole through two enemies with it, shoot ten blue medallions to get it for free off the merchant
Blacktail: a pretty good pistol which has the quickest aiming
Matilda: once you have this you can sell your TMP minigun as it shoots 9mm bullets with three rapid fire rounds, you must complete the game to unlock it and it's exclusive ability is to have 100 ammo
Somewhere in Chapter 4-2, you'll need to fight 2 Gigantes. If you still don't have a Handcannon or Chicago Typewriter, the easiest way to kill them without opening the floor is: take out a flash Gernade, throw it to them as they go out. Then get some distance and throw a hand gernade. Start shooting them with the Striker, when they get too close, go to the platform where the slide thing is and shoot the m until they get too close. The Gigante will try to knock you down, but quickly press A and you will slide. Keep shooting them until you get the parasite to comes out of one of their backs, get a magnum gun and shoot it until the Gigante gets up or the second one is too close. When that happens, go back to the slide machine and shoot until they try to shake you down. Do that repeadely unt..
Ever wanted to be one of those guys who activates a bomb from a distance, by shooting off your gun, well now you can, in fact you could have done it a long time ago if you thought about it hard enough.
Its as simple as using a mine dart and any conventional bullet powered weapon. Simply aim to a target, fire, then quickly swap guns, aim and fire. Kablam! Not only are you dealing explosion damage, but you are also dealing damage from the weapon you fired. So it almost always causes the thing you are exploding to splatter all over the place. It is very satisfying. Though I wouldn't recommend it on the fast-walking ganados. They get too close and in professional mode it can almost ensure a painful death.
Have fun!
This isn't really a cheat it's a glitch. Ok get your infinte rocket lunacher out and slash a zombies face with you're knife so they stumble around then run up and kick that zombie your lunacher look normal still when you run up but when you kick the zombie the lunacher should impale leon if it doesn't work don't start yelling profanity at your tv because it didn't always work for me.IT OLNY WORKS SOMETIMES.
(you have to have a rifle either smi auto or normal it doesn't matter and the thing you use to zoom in)you know when you face the "big cheese" (not real name forgot his real name but Leon called him big cheese) after his "fake eye" falls out? pick it up then zoom in on the dude's face and you'll see that the "fake eye" is still there in his head. =) hope you had fun with this glitch
Ok, I'm tired of hearing people whine about how hard this game is, it is one of the easiest games ever made. You all whine about there not being any ammo so I'm here to help. First off, make sure you always have a handgun, ammo is best found for this, upgrade the handgun you have as much as possible. After you get to the first village spot don't go in any of the houses till after the bell rings and they all leave, then the house with the fence in the front has a shotgun up the stairs, grab it, but don't use it at all. In this next spot of the village there are blue medallions, make sure you get every single one of them in this area. When you get the merchant for the first time, sell the shotgun and all your shotgun ammo, upgrade your pistol as much as possible, don't buy any guns, stick ..
Run up to a close group of villagers, slash them with the knife, kick them, and repeatedly slash them while they're down.
This isn't really a cheat, but you can make the villagers dance by shooting (with the pistol) the left arm then the right arm then the left leg and finally the right leg.You can alternate the pattern if you want,have fun!
These are the items in the game which you can combine
(green herb)+(yellow)=(small amount of health recovered/max health increased)
(green herb)+(red herb)=(full health recoved)
(green herb)+(red herb)+(yellow herb)=(full helth recoved/max health increased)
(crown)+(crown jewal)+(salazar family insignia)=(salazar family crown)45,000
(beerstien)+(red/yellow/green catseye !all of them!)=(better beerstien)20,000
(elegant mask !there are two of these!)+(red/green/purple gem !all of them!)=(better elegant mask)20,000
(golden lynx)+(red/green/purple gem !all of them!)=(better golden lynx)45,000
THESE PRICES ARE ESTIMATES DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY I CANNOT ALWAYS REMEMBER EVERY DETAIL

This works with all weapons that can have an upgraded capacity. After you run out of ammo when firing a weapon DON'T reload (if you have any spare ammo). Instead, make sure you have enough money to upgrade the weapon's capacity. When you encounter the next Merchant upgrade the capacity for that weapon. The weapon will not only have an increased capacity, but you would have had it completely topped up with ammo. So you get extra ammo when you upgrade the capacity. This is very helpful on the Professional difficulty stetting.
Get a broken butterfly, and customize it all the way including exclusize then shoot his eye thingy then shoot his body a couple of timesand he should die if not repeat pattern
Get a broken butterfly and custumize it all the way in cluding exlusive, then hit saddler twice with the crane thingy then hit his knee with the broken buterfly, then his eye, then hit his knee again then shoot a rocket launcher (regular or the special one ) and saddler dies
I don't know what to call this, a cheat or a glitch, and I don't know whether you know this or not, but walk up to a merchant. Do whatever you want to do, buy or sell, or tune up your weapons. Then press B at the merchant's menu, but before the merchant closes his coat, shoot him. His coat will still be open as he dies.
P.S. This only works if the merchant opens his coat when you talk to him.
Unlock Professional Difficulty:
Successfully complete the main game once on Normal difficulty. In Professional difficulty everything is exactly the same except that the enemies are harder to kill.
Unlocking the Punisher Pistol:
Do the secret quest the man who sells you upgrades for weapons gives you. You have to search 2 areas of the game for the blue medallions and shoot ALL 15.
Hey you need to save some ammo, you have no ammo. Well use your knife and hit a zombie in the head then go towards him and kick the zombie.did you waste any ammo?
Here are a list of the bosses and the quickest way you can beat them:-
Del Lago: No strategy other than the normal one.
El Gigante: Rocket Launcher.
Chief Bitores Mendez: Two or three Rocket Launcher blasts should do the trick, so unless you have an Infinite Launcher, you can only use one to speed things up.
Garrador (blind guy with metal claws): Hit him with a Rocket Launcher. Salazar's Assistant: Freeze him using the canisters and then use a Rocket Launcher.
El Gigantes: Trap one of them in the lava and use a Rocket Launcher on the other or (if you can) trap both of them in the lava.
Ramon Salazar: Shoot the big eye on the large head until his weak spot (which is actually Ramon Salazar's main body) opens up and use a Roc..
Here are a list of treasures you can combine with each other to sell them for more than you could get for them individually:
Beerstein + Red Catseye + Green Catseye + Yellow Catseye = 20,000 pasentas.
Elegent Mask + Red Gem + Purple Gem + Green Gem = 30,000 pasentas (I think, not entirely sure about this one)
Butterfly Lamp + Red Eye + Green Eye + Blue Eye = 32,000 pasentas.
Crown + Crown Jewel + Royal Insignia = Salazar Family Crown = 48,000 pasentas.
Golden Lynx + Red Stone of Faith + Green Stone of Judgement + Blue Stone of treason = 40,000 pasentas.
Important notes:-
The Crown Jewel can only be obtained by killing Salazar's Assisstant in the sewers.
You can find two Butterfly Lamps and at least t..
After beating the game you get an infiinent rocket launcher.

I' ve done this before these are other scenes I have discovered but some I do not know the location.
1. If Ashley needs you to catch her while she jumps down a ladder or is climbing up one if you toggle the camera angle up her skirt she will call you a perve.
2. In the village cheif's house where you find the insignia key and the note on the bed walk out the door by the bed there will be a cutscene then walk back inside and ms. Wong will aid you in another cutscene once again starring the cheif.
3.At the lake monster place by the dock shoot the water with a shotgun you will hear a rumble keep doing this and there will be a cutscene. NOTE: Do NOT do this if you haven't saved you game in the house yet !!!
Don't listen to those people who say that it taes alot of damage to krauser if you knife his head youll be dead before you do that but on the part that he turns into a plaga or whatever shot his legs and knife his face clean off but other times use a shotgun or a bb also on the part where he is on the other side use the rifle to shot him then he will run towards you then blow his face off kay
At the beginning of your second playthrough sell everything you have and buy the matilda along with the tmp. During the second playthrough when you run out of immediate ammo for one then quikly switch to the next to kill alot faster. Or just buy the Chicago typewriter ( but the other one is still a challenge even though it's really fun)
Beat the game once and then start a new game.you need a red9 and you have to upgrade it to the max including the exclusive.then on the pueblo it will take 1-2 shots to kill them.this is excluding the chainsaw s.o.b.
On your first time round this is extremely difficult unless you know what your doing.
First make sure you have a powerful gun a broken butterfly to get this without paying the merchant as soon as you get ashley in the castle head back past the bit where you met ada and carry on heading back through the door.... walk forward to the fountian and turn left then check the door send ashley in then open the big chest the broken butterfly will be in that this will only have it in if you don't have the broken butterfly!!
Then when your just about to face salazar talk to the merchant and get a rocket launcher if not upgrade the rifle whichever one you have then go through the door after the cutscene shoot the eye on the thing infront of you.
Pull out the rocket ..
When you beat assignment ada you unlock a new gun called the chicago typewriter it is an infinit fully automatic gun and is worth getting.
To get the specialized gun you have to shoot ten blue medallions.
Remember the part when the three men on the bridge throw a large boulder at you well after you dodge it you can go back up the hill and shoot them down.Sweet Sweet Revenge!
If you shoot a normal ganado a new action command will appear saying suplex if you press "A" you should be able to do mega damage and sometimes it will sever the head
After you plays as ashely and get back to Leon instead of running to the next part run backwards to the locked tower by the main gates. Using Ashely you can get in. Inside is a free broken butterfly. Keep it and customize it because it'll come in handy on the "it" on the island
Well, on my data I have a chicago typewriter ,with a broken butterfly,semi auto rifle and mine thrower, fully customized. The chicago typewriter takes the place of a handgun and shotgun plus it has infinite amo allowing you to save tons of space. The mine thrower kind've takes the place of you're grenades. And the semi auto rifle is for long range shots. When you get enough cash though sell the rifle to get an infinite rocket launcher. And if you ever by some chance get really lucky and beat all mercenary games with all characters with a 5 star rating to unlock the hand cannon sell you're broken butterfly and get it. So basically you should try to get the chicago typewritter and infinite rocket launcher,with hand cannon,and mine thrower fully custom.( trust me using these items saves a t..
To unlock Albert Wesler in The Mercanaries, get a four-star rating on the Waterworld map.
To tag a crow you have to have a fully upgraded mine launcher all the way to exclusive and when you see a crow or a bat launch a mine at it and it will blink on the animal and the animal might stumble while trying to fly
(This only works on cultist ganados) When you are in the castle and you are fighting the cultist ganados, if you stun and get close to them you can perform a suplex move instead of a kick
Well if you think that Saddler is really hard. Then you aren't thinking okay. Well all you have to do is when he transforms get out the mine thrower. Launch a mine at his body when it blows up he will fall. The run up to him and hit the action button and you will stab him in the eye. Do this about 2/3 time (easy), 5/6 (Normal). I don't know how many times on pro. Well when this is done just get the rocket that Ada will throw to you Shoot it at him while he is down then he will be dead. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It isn't the end. (Don't read on if you don't want it spoiled!!).
Ada will then throw you a key to a jet ski. Then she will jump into a chopper. At this point run and get the 100,000 that Saddler drops. Then run like hell to the elevator. Go down meet up with ashley. Run down t..

(i guess it shoots so dam fast that the things can't regenerate fast enough
When you have to choose which way to go after the cabin part if you go the way with the ganados and the Bella Sisters and when you kill the Bella Sisters zoom in on the chainsaws with a rifle or rocket launcher and the chainsaws are still on but they are not making any noise.
Aright, first you must beat the game at least once, then you must beat mercanaries 5 stars on every character.
(This may take some time). After that go pick a new game file and at the beginning there will be a merchant jacket.
Get the handcannon since it's 0 psetas.
If you have the money, upgrade everything includeing exclusive. Then you will have Infinite ammo on the Handcannon!
Hope I helped!
To unlock this powerful beast you need to earn five stars for all of the characters on all of the stages in The Mercenaries sub-game. Unlike the Infinite Launcher and Chicago Typewriter, this weapon needs upgrading to achieve it's full potential (99.0 Firepower and Infinite Ammo). Watch out, if you try and sell it to a merchant he won't offer you any cash for it!
Well, if you didn't know those shooting ranges are for something.
If you get a 3000 score or more you gat this little bottle cap with a action figure on top.
There is only 24 Caps 6 in each shoting range when you get all 6 you get money.
And the shoting ranges are next to the merchant dude.....!
Double tap the "A" button when you are opening doors
