Every FAQ has an introduction... or something that resembles one. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Way back in the year of 1996, I first had the chance to play a horror game known as Resident Evil. I had been a horror movie fan for quite a while before the release and I was amazed at how much the game established a horror movie setting - even complete with voice acting. Ever since then I have followed the series religiously from console to console, literally letting its presence decide which gaming console I will get next. I bought a Dreamcast when it shifted to Sega's console and a Gamecube when the main series was announced for the last generation Nintendo console. My current favorite Resident Evil is CVX, but Resident Evil 4 has ramped up the gameplay quite a bit since then. The new action style gameplay is intense and satisfying as hell making the killing sprees all the more satisfying, because of this - Casualties continue to mount over the long years I have struggled. Yeah, many Ganados and Zealots died in the making of my previous RE4 and Separate Ways treasure FAQs. The body count isn't going to stop there though, it still continues even as you read this. Oho, I know what you're thinking: "ANOTHER walkthrough for Resident Evil 4? Good god man, stop hitting that poor animal - the mutilated horse has been long since dead, just leave it be!" Well, I have wanted to write a complete guide for Resident Evil 4 for quite a while, but the Gamecube version came and went, and so did the PS2 version - More and more I find myself wondering if it's all worth fighting (writing) for. Having played through RE4 multiple times on three different systems I can promise you that I know it extremely well. Professional mode? It's been completed once for all three systems. The Mercenaries five star ranking? The same. The main mode of RE4? Well - Who knows? Not even I do. Looking away from that, as I've already said, this game has been covered beyond covered and I don't know how well this guide will hold up with the other great guides already on the various gaming sites - that's for you to decide - But there's one thing I do know... I have a job to do and I'm gonna' see it through! That job? Making sure to cover Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition as thoroughly as possible and giving you, the reader, the most descriptive guide I can write in the process. I have spent quite a bit of time on this guide, and hopefully that effort has paid off. This intro? Well, I spent about 10 minutes on it. If you got that pun of my buddy, Chris Redfield, up above then you deserve a cookie + red herb mixture. By the way, if you haven't watched the latest trailer for Resident Evil 5 yet then do yourself a favor and visit the link below... http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22801.html The Resident Evil 5 trailer literally served as my background noise while writing this walkthrough. The sounds of savage villagers put me at ease. Please read on and enjoy the rest of the guide. - Berserker [BS00] == |\\ ================================================================= |\\ == | \\ ___ _ __ _____ ___ __ | \\ // / __\ /_\ / _\ \_ \/ __\/ _\ // // /__\// //_\\ \ \ / /\/ / \ \ // // / \/ \/ _ \_\ \/\/ /_/ /___ _\ \ // // \_____/\_/ \_/\__/\____/\____/ \__/ // \\ | \\ | == \\| ================================================================= \\| == =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= All the basic information about Resident Evil 4 is detailed here.

To reload with a controller, hold the R button and press B. >> Slashing with the Knife a) Perform a slashing motion from right to left with the Wii-mote. b) Hold C on the nunchuk (L on controller) then press A on the Wii-mote (or controller. >> Special Attacks Leon can perform two special physical attacks when fighting a human-like enemy. These special attacks should be mastered since they are quite helpful. Leon is invincible during both of these animations. - Roundhouse Kick Shoot a human-like enemy in the head then run up and press A as the enemy staggers. The "kick" command will appear when standing next to a straggling enemy. - Straight Kick or Suplex Shoot the bottom of a human-like enemy's leg to make the enemy fall on his/her knees. Quickly approach the enemy for a "Kick" or "Suplex" command then press the A button to perform the action. Ganados = Straight Kick Zealots and Soldier Ganados = Suplex >> Ashley Controls - Catching Ashley In order for Ashley to get down from high places, Leon much catch her by pressing the A button when the icon appears. Both of them are invincible during this animation. - Following and waiting commands Press the + button (X with controller) to have Ashley wait in place. Press the button again to have Ashley follow Leon. It can turn into a game of "Red Light, Green Light" and Ashley is a pro player. - Have her hide in red containers While near a red container, press the + button (X with controller) to have Ashley hide in the crate when the button icon appears. Press the button again to have here pop out. Leon whistles to Ashley like an owner does to a dog and Ashley responds like a little puppy does to its master's command. >> Saving the Game Like all Resident Evil's, approach a typewriter to save your game. Watch for the "Save" command. Unlike the other games in the series, RE4 does not require ink ribbons in order to save progress allowing the player to save an infinite number of times. There is no way to delete individual saves without deleting the main save file, so don't clog all twenty save slots unless you don't mind the multitude of saved games. Overwriting is the only option for disposing of a prior save. ******************************************************************************* HERBS [HE00] ******************************************************************************* /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Herb | Description | |=============================================================================| | Green Herb | restores slight health | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Red Herb | restores full health when combined | | | with green herb | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Yellow Herb | slightly boosts life gauge when | | | combined with a green herb or green | | | herb and red herb mixture | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Green Herb + Green Herb | restores moderate health | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Green Herb + Green Herb + Green Herb | restores full health | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Green Herb + Red Herb | restores full health | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Green Herb + Yellow Herb | restores slight health and boosts | | | life gauge | |--------------------------------------|======================================| | Green Herb + Red Herb + Yellow Herb | restores full health and boosts life | | | gauge | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ ******************************************************************************* ITEMS [IT00] ******************************************************************************* Item pickups are spread throughout the main game of RE4 and other modes just like in other RE games. Find the items lying in an area, in a box or other breakable object or from enemy drops. >> Items lying in the Area Most of the time, the items that lie in an area (in the open) will always be the same from game to game, which is why they are labeled in the walkthrough. >> Box and other Breakable Objects Use Leon's knife in order to break these types of objects to possibly receive a random item. Sometimes the items will be the same in each game but most the boxes contain random items. >> Enemy Drops Once enemies are defeated, they will drop an item that will glow one of three colors to represent what type of item they drop. -- Red = Ammo -- Blue = Pesetas -- Green = Recovery ******************************************************************************* GENERAL TIPS [GT00] ******************************************************************************* -- Destroy breakable objects with the knife In the Wii version, Leon will automatically target a breakable object with the knife, so it's even easier now to break open boxes, barrels, or vases with the knife. Only use a gun to break open objects in Battle Mode (The Mercenaries) where time is crucial. -- Look for the blue flames The merchant usually has blue flames around him to signal that he is open for business! -- Shoot enemies in the head or knees Always go for the head or knees and take advantage of the special attack that Leon will gain for extra damage without the need for weapons. If an enemy is running toward you then shoot him in the knees to instantly make that enemy fall flat on his face and expose his head to Leon. -- Take advantage of special attacks for crowd control Pick out one enemy from a crowd and shoot the enemy in the head then run toward him and kick him to possible knock down the whole crowd around him in the process. Remember that Leon is invincible once the animation starts! This can be risky sometimes however since enemies will sometimes stagger backward into the crowd once shot. -- Make an enemy drop a weapon Shoot the arm that is holding a weapon to make an enemy drop the currently equipped weapon. This is mainly useful for enemies that carry a large weapon. Enemies with throwing weapons (such as axes) will only take out another once a weapon is dropped. Another way to disarm an enemy is to knock that enemy down with a kick. -- Shoot thrown weapons or darts before they reach Leon With the Wii-mote this is much easier than before. Shoot whatever weapon is thrown or shot toward Leon to instantly make it ricochet away from Leon. -- Slash enemies with a knife while they are down Low on ammo? Perform a special kick or other attack on enemies then aim downward (C button aim recommended) and slash at them while they are grounded. Keep in mind that you can slash an enemy in the face to make the enemy stagger then kick him to avoid using ammo for the stunning process. Using a knife on a fallen enemy works much better in Professional mode where enemies are tougher and ammo is slightly scarce; it's really not needed for normal mode. -- Dealing with Las Plagas (Plagas heads) If an enemy "Plagases out" on Leon, throw a flash grenade to instantly kill the Plagas. This works on ANY type of Plagas, even the little spider types. Another good method is to use a rifle and aim directly at the Plagas then shoot for an instant kill. The TMP sometimes works well if you aim for the head while shooting also. -- Dealing with shielded enemies Shoot a shielded enemy with a shotgun blast from up close to instantly break his shield. A rifle shot will pierce right through a shield - shoot a shielded enemy at the top portion of his shield with a rifle and you might just pop his head. A TMP is good for eating away at shields as well - go for the legs and keep firing. Also, the Punisher handgun will automatically fire right through shields, which can really help out for when you don't want to switch to a shotgun while shooting Zealots. -- Dealing with flamers (Ganados with torches) When a Ganado carries a torch, wait for him to walk up to Leon and shoot him as he attempts to breathe fire to set him ablaze. Be warned that some Ganados will actually swing the torches at Leon however. -- Bosses fear the rocket launcher Most bosses and big enemies will fall by shooting them with one rocket from the rocket launcher. For bosses with two forms, the second portion of the battle will begin after one hit from the rocket launcher. El Gigantes fall with one hit from the rocket launcher without even having to worry about hitting their Plagas. -- Skip cutscenes when enemies descend/appear Keep dying at one portion of the game because you have little time to react? There are a few fights where you can skip the cutscene of the enemies preparing for battle in order to react quicker. This is especially useful with the cage trap in the castle. -- There's something behind you Most of the humanoid enemies will respond in a certain way when they are behind Leon. The Ganados will yell out a certain phrase in Spanish and the Zealots will laugh. Learn the different reactions and you can take action before an enemy sneaks up behind Leon. -- Running slightly faster Equip a grenade or an egg (yes, an egg) and Leon will have both arms free allowing him to run a bit faster. He also runs faster with the Rocket Launchers equipped since they are strapped to his back. -- Swinging on chandeliers To always make a chandelier swing on the first try, keep tapping the A button as Leon starts to swing. Once the button icon appears then Leon will immediately leap to the other side of whatever platform he is trying to reach. ******************************************************************************* ESCORTING TIPS [ET00] ******************************************************************************* -- Keep Ashley behind Leon at all times Make sure that Ashley is always behind Leon. If she is in front then be sure to wait for her to duck before firing. While she is behind Leon, Ashley will always get behind him while Leon aims with his gun! -- Do not lead Ashley into crowds with Leon Tell her to wait in a safe location while charging into crowds. Don't leave her alone for too long however. -- Clear her path of traps Don't lead her through a bear trap or other type of trap (C4). -- Heal Ashley every time she takes damage The best way to heal her is with eggs (white eggs) since she has such a small life bar at the beginning. Give her yellow herbs to increase her life bar. Don't throw the eggs at her. They do no harm but- Well, ok you can toss a few at her. -- Dealing with kidnappers When an enemy grabs her and tries to walk away with her, shoot the enemy in the legs to make him instantly drop Ashley. The shotgun works well to drop a kidnapper as well. As long as Leon does not aim directly at Ashley she will not get hit. Throwing a flash grenade will make an enemy drop Ashley as well. -- Never aim if you want Ashley to move When Leon aims, Ashley will always duck and take cover if she is in front of Leon. If you want her to move then Leon will have to stop aiming. This can be a little annoying at some parts. -- An enemy in the area Keep an eye on Ashley as she runs behind Leon and she will look to the side when an enemy is near. -- Ashley will dodge along with Leon When dodging an attack via an on-screen sequence, Ashley will not get hit by the attack as long as Leon dodges it. A perfect example is when El Gigante falls in the Right path in the village and when a knight swings and axe as Leon. Ashley will duck down and the objects will pass right through her while Leon dodges out of the way. ******************************************************************************* TREASURE TIPS [TT00] ******************************************************************************* -- Always combine treasures when possible Combined treasure will yield a greater value when sold to the merchant. Be sure to keep two Blue Eyes for a replay game's two Butterfly Lamps since Blue Eyes are very rare most of the time. -- Hoard EVERY item! If Leon doesn't have a weapon for a certain type of ammo, grab it anyway and sell it to the merchant. Before leaving a merchant, make sure that Leon has room in his inventory to carry new items; if not then consider selling some items. -- Crow Hunting Shoot any crows that you find in an area. A flash grenade can bring down a group of crows while they are on the ground. If a crow flies away it will always fly around up above so you still have a chance to it - an even greater chance with the Wii-mote. Sometimes a crow will carry treasure or high quantities of PTAS. A few even carry grenades and ammo! -- Fishing Use the knife to slash or use a gun to shoot at fish in the water then collect them for extra healing items. Throw a single hand grenade into the water to instantly kill a whole school of fish, just make sure you have the inventory space to collect them. Sell them to the merchant for Extra PTAS! A large bass yields 2300 PTAS.

Six years have passed since the Raccoon City incident involving the viral outbreak. Leon is in charge of saving the President's daughter (Ashley) from a cult group in Europe that has kidnapped her and brought her to this side of the world for reasons yet unknown. He journeys to a small village in Europe to start his search for Ashley. Leon will meet up with a horde of savage villagers that seem to be controlled by something (but what?) as well as a mysterious acquaintance from his past (that seemed to never wait up on him then and continues to leave him in the dust even now). NOTE: Keep in mind that the boss hit points (or life) in the walkthrough is based on a rough estimate of gunfire that I used while fighting each boss. Some may not be totally accurate. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ******************************************************************************* T H E V I L L A G E [WT01] "Just up ahead is the village." ******************************************************************************* _______ __ ___ ___ / ___/ / ___ ____ / /____ ____ < /__< / / /__/ _ \/ _ `/ _ \/ __/ -_) __/ / /___/ / \___/_//_/\_,_/ .__/\__/\__/_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ [CH11] __ Woods __ Objective: Question the villagers on the whereabouts of Ashley. Hunnigan will send Leon a ++PLAYING MANUAL++ file after the beginning cutscenes. View it through the "Files" menu under the inventory menu. Leon also starts with a ++INFO ON ASHLEY++ file and a ++COMMUNICATION LOG++, which will be updated after each radio conversation. The game will start with Leon positioned next to the car that the local police were driving in the earlier cutscene with a path in front of him. Run down the path and a cutscene will play once Leon gets near the cabin up ahead. Walk to the left end of the cabin to find a wooden box that can be broken with a knife swing or weapon shot - these are located throughout the main game and they will usually contain a random item. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the right crow furthest in the back along the path | | [ ] Extra PTAS | Shoot the rest of the crows | /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | -- Extra Dialogue/Scenes | |=============================================================================| | * Try to shoot any part of the car (try this on each side of the car) | | * Try to run across the bridge | | * Approach the car and talk to each officer | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ The truck to the east blocks the east path, so enter the house via the front door (open [A] or kick it open [double tap A]). Walk into the next room and a cutscene will activate. A Ganado (or villager) will attack after the cutscene. Aim at his head or leg and shoot then run up and perform a special attack (A up close) while he staggers or falls to his knees; shoot him in the head while he's down to finish him off. A cutscene will play once again. The Ganados outside will hold the door to trap Leon inside directly after the cutscene, so he must find another means of escape. If the first Ganado dropped anything then be sure to grab it. Enemies will drop money (pesetas or salable items), healing items, and ammo in this game. Check his body for a reference to the past RE's. This one is not a zombie. Run up the stairs and leap out the window, or just leap out the window on the bottom floor. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the second floor of the cabin on a table | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Objective: Fight off the hostile locals Run away just a bit then turn and shoot at the three Ganados.

On the table inside is a typewriter where the game can be saved and there is also some handgun ammo and breakable boxes. Continue down the path and some whimpering will be heard from a dog that got himself trapped in a bear trap. Walk over to him and interact when the "Help" option appears in order to free him. This dog will help Leon later if he is freed in this manner. Keep in mind that the signpost with the skulls will always mean that there are traps nearby for any area that it is located around them. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table next to the typewriter | | [ ] Hand Grenade | Kill the crow on the signpost with skulls along the | | | path | | [ ] Extra PTAS | Kill the other crow next to the above crow | | [ ] Red Herb | After reaching the signpost along the trail past the | | | dog (the one that points to Pueblo Village), check in | | | the bushes by the tree near the fence. | /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Extra Info | |=============================================================================| | * Free the dog and it will help Leon later in the game.

(see first El Gigante fight for details) | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ There is an extra bear trap in the bushes to the left so be careful when walking around that area - hit the bear traps with a knife swing or shoot them to set them off. Continue along the trail and some C4 traps will become visible up ahead. The middle area between the trees contains a bear trap; disarm it and continue. When the Ganado at the top of the hill spots Leon, walk back through the middle of the trees and get behind one of the tripwires for the C4 and the Ganado may actually walk through it. Shoot one of the C4 explosives as he walks through the middle if he doesn't set it off himself and the explosion will most likely kill him. Further along the path, Leon will be able to enter another shed on the left side. Enter it and grab the items. Notice the gruesome display along the wall near the doorway. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Green Herb | On the shelf next to the small wooden box in the shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Two more Ganados will attack Leon once he moves along the path ahead. Run across the bridge and a trio of Ganados will see Leon approaching from a hill up above. These Ganados cannot be shot at so don't waste the ammo. They don't attack. Strangely, they are never there during a replay game. Shoot the Ganado in the shed to the left on the other side of the bridge. He can actually be shot through the small opening along the side of the shed while approaching it if you're aiming is precise at the right moment. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Follow the path outside and open the gate up ahead. __ Pueblo Village __ Hunnigan will contact Leon once again at the start of this area and she will give him a ++PLAYING MANUAL 2++ file. As Leon walks a bit down the trail, he will get a "Look" option that can be used with the press of the A button. This will allow him to spy in on the village with the Z (Zoom in) and C (Zoom out) buttons on the nunchuk. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Extra Scenes | |=============================================================================| | * Press the A button when the "Look" option appears. The binoculars were | | once a normal feature in the GC demo version of RE4 (Japanese demo) where | | Leon could take them out whenever a certain button was pressed. They | | were basically useless though. | | * Enter the middle house with the shotgun | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ This area can be done in several different ways. Do you want to gain every possible item in this area? Well then, be sure to defeat the chainsaw Ganado (Dr. Salvador) at the northeast end of the village and defeat the second chainsaw Ganado that will appear outside after Leon enters the house with the shotgun. Do you want to barricade Leon into a house and remain safe until the Ganados stop attacking? Enter the house with the shotgun and push the bookcase against the door on the bottom floor. Run upstairs and keep the Ganados from entering the windows by pushing down the ladder. Shoot the Ganados on the roof with a weapon as they try to enter from the side. The house across from the house with the shotgun is a good place to lay low also since Leon can barricade the door inside as well, but remember that there is only way in and out of that building! Don't try to stay in the tower on the east end or the Ganados will throw cocktails up at Leon to force him to climb down. Here is my usual plan for this area: Start by running down the path to the south and entering the shed near the doors on that end of the village. Collect the items from the wooden boxes inside (one is always a flash grenade) then head back and hug the side wall while going around the side of the north building (the boarded-up barn). Run to the northeast. Collect the Green Herb from the logs to the left along the way and enter the second building by jumping through the window - the female Ganado nearby will not hear this! Collect the handgun ammo and the items from the boxes and barrel then exit by jumping through the window. Moving further to the northeast will alert the female Ganado, so just run up to the box near her and collect the red herb after breaking it. Note: The Ganado pushing the wheelbarrow in the middle of the village is the hardest one to get past without being seen - his vision is superb. Do the first part of the above strategy as quickly as possible (until entering the building via the window) after entering the village and Leon will not be noticed. That particular Ganado will have his back to Leon most of the time during that time period. LEON IS DISCOVERED! Run very fast to the northeast exit. Two Ganados and a chainsaw Ganado will be guarding the northeast exit to the village. Shoot the Ganado on the left side in the head since he will run faster than the others and throw a grenade at the back chainsaw Ganado - this will kill the other two and knock down the chainsaw Ganado. Rush up to the chainsaw Ganado with the handgun equipped and fire directly at his head. Fire! Fire! And keep firing at his head even while he rises then knock him down with a kick when he staggers. Keep constant pressure on him and he will eventually die. Grab the Ruby from him then use headshots and kicks to knock down the other Ganados on the way down the path to the south. Enter the house with the shotgun to trigger the scene with the second chainsaw Ganado. Don't barricade anything! Run to the side below the stairs and break both barrels then collect the Handgun ammo. Climb the stairs then grab the shotgun from the wall, break the hand grenade out of the glass, collect the PTAS on the table, grab the shotgun ammo from the nearby table, push down the ladder then jump outside. Run toward the nearby building then turn directly around - this way there's less likely to be a Ganado in the back of Leon since the building is behind him. The chainsaw Ganado should be right near the house that Leon jumped from. Make sure that Leon is the center of his attention - that is he is coming for Leon (shoot him with a bullet if you must) - and throw a hand grenade at him. Run directly toward him as the hand grenade knocks him down and turn to face the approaching Ganados. Fire at the chainsaw Ganado with the shotgun directly in the head while he is down. Fire at any other approaching Ganado if they get too close. Keep firing until the chainsaw Ganado rises then throw a flash grenade to stun any Ganados and the chainsaw Ganado. Continue unloading on the chainsaw Ganado while the others are stunned until he is dead. Make sure that Leon reloads while the chainsaw Ganado is down on the ground (count the shots while firing) - switch to the handgun if Leon has no time to reload. Having problems with the time limit? Try making it to the far northeast end without picking up ANY items then go through the normal means of killing both chainsaw Ganados. This shouldn't make it much harder, but it will definitely give more time for killing the chainsaw wielders. The time for this area is based on two things: (a) How many Ganados Leon kills and (b) how much time has passed. Once the cutscene with the Ganados running has played then the time for Ganado cleansing has almost come to an end. Once the church bell rings in the cutscene that will ultimately follow, the Ganados' attacks will cease and they will leave the area. Hunnigan will contact Leon again and he will be free to explore the village freely after the radio cutscene. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Flash Grenade | In the one of the boxes in the shed to the south | | [ ] Green Herb | Lying on a log rack behind the boarded up building | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a shelf inside the house next to the bonfire | | | (northwest house) | | [ ] Incendiary | In the right box on the table in the house next to the | | Grenade | bonfire (northwest house) | | [ ] Red Herb | In the box on the north side of the house next to the | | | bonfire | | [ ] Yellow Herb | In the box behind the barn (with the cow) | | [ ] Red Herb | On a wheelbarrow behind the back east side of the barn | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a shelf inside the house with the shotgun (under the | | | stairs) | | [ ] Shotgun | Hanging on a mantle on the second floor right by the | | | stairs in the middle village house | | [ ] Hand Grenade | On the second floor behind some glass casing on a shelf | | | in the house with the shotgun | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Lying on a table on the second floor next to a window | | | in the house with the shotgun | | [ ] Shotgun Ammo | Lying on a table on the second floor in the house with | | | the shotgun | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Jump out the window on the west side of the house with | | | with the shotgun and check the chimney on the rooftop | | | of the house next door | | [ ] Spinel | On the east rooftop of the house with the shotgun (jump | | | out the window on the west end to reach it) | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | On a bed behind a locked door in the house across from | | | the house with the shotgun | | [ ] Green Herb | Check the boarded up log rack on the east side of the | | | house across from the house with the shotgun | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check the boarded up log rack on the north side of the | | | insignia building | | [ ] Shotgun Ammo | Lying on a table at the top of the tower to the north | | | of the insignia building | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a table inside the right shed along the northeast | | | path | /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Extra Info | |=============================================================================| | * Check the body in the bonfire in the middle of the village.

Check the building with the insignia on the front door in the east. The door is locked so Leon must venture to the northeast to find a key. Pick up the ++ALERT ORDER++ file from the wall above the table in the right shed up the northeast path. Continue through the northeast exit to enter the next area. __ Farm __ Enter the shed to the left to find a typewriter. Notice the blue ++ABOUT THE BLUE MEDALLIONS++ paper file hanging on the tree past the fence. This will tell about the blue medallions scattered around this farm area and the churchyard in a later chapter. Once ten of them are shot a prize will be gained from a certain individual that will be revealed later on. There are seven medallions here. The chickens in this area will lay eggs +----------------------------------+ that Leon can pick up. The eggs will | PRO MODE HINT | restore his health by some degree |==================================| depending on the type - White (barely), | On Professional mode, be sure to | Brown (moderate), Gold (all).

Leave and return | Leon. Leon can enter and reenter this | a bunch and stock up! | area and this will make the chicken lay +----------------------------------+ even more eggs! The dog here is no threat, he will stand and bark at Leon then run when he is approached. The Ganados spread around the area will attack as Leon explores the farm so be ready. They tend to form a group with the first few so take out the shotgun if a crowd starts to appear near Leon. These Ganados that Leon will face from now on are more powerful than the ones fought in Pueblo Village as well so be sure to go for head shots and use kicks to your advantage. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Pearl Pendant | Walk over to the well next to the shed with the type- | | | writer. Shoot the plank holding up the cover to the | | | well then shoot the pendant. Take the pendant from the | | | top of the cover.

Open the doors on the southeast side after collecting all the items in the area. __ Booby Trapped Path __ Look up to the left after entering. See the boulder? Walk further ahead and examine the signpost to the side and Leon will remember this sign from back in the woods - meaning there is danger ahead. Follow the path down the hill and a cutscene will play. Interactive Cutscene: Wiggle the Wii-mote from left to right to quickly run from the boulder as it rolls down the hill after Leon. Quickly press A + B to roll out of its way as Leon reaches the bottom of the hill. If Leon tries to go back up the hill some Ganados on the bridge above will throw weapons at him. These Ganados can be shot but their items cannot be collected if they drop any. Enter the tunnel to the east. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the first shiny object on the ceiling of the | | | tunnel | | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the second shiny object on the ceiling of the | | | tunnel | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ On the other side of the tunnel try to scope out the Ganados up ahead. Look closely and notice the dynamite in the hand of the single Ganado outside the building. Shoot that dynamite for a perfect start to this area. Otherwise, be prepared to dodge the dynamite being thrown. Leon can shoot any dynamite in this area to set it off at any time or shoot a Ganado to stall him and allow it to blow up in his hands. Keep in mind that a Ganado with lit dynamite will blow up and destroy everything around him in the process. Shoot the bear traps around the southwest side of the first big building then enter the building and take care of the Ganados inside. Another dynamite thrower is on the north side of this building. Be sure to shoot the C4 and other bear trap in the shed while collecting the item in there. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Hand Grenade | On the table in the second room of the middle building | | [ ] Spinel | In the left wooden crate on the shelf in the shed | | [ ] Red Catseye | Shoot the bird's nest up in the tree in front of the | | | right side of the house | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ The left shed has some spiders crawling along the walls that can be shot. One of the most missed treasures in the game is in the bird's nest in front of the right side of the house in the east so be sure to shoot the nest and collect the item. Kick at the lock until the front door of the house opens (3 kicks) or just shoot the lock (1 shot). __ Abandoned House __ Inside is a typewriter on the left table. Notice the banging sound coming from somewhere in the back of the house? Walk through the doorway and shoot the C4 in the hall and in the next room. Push the bookcase blocking the doorway to the side and walk down the hall ahead. Approach the shaking closet in the back of the house. It doesn't matter if Leon shoots the closet, throws grenades or eggs, or what have you at it - it is indestructible. Open the closet to trigger a cutscene that will end this chapter. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the middle table | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Open the cabinet across from the typewriter | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Lying on the table of the second room | | [ ] Green Herb | Open the cabinet in the second room | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ _______ __ ___ ___ / ___/ / ___ ____ / /____ ____ < /___|_ | / /__/ _ \/ _ `/ _ \/ __/ -_) __/ / /___/ __/ \___/_//_/\_,_/ .__/\__/\__/_/ /_/ /____/ /_/ [CH12] Chapter 1-2 __ Storage Building __ Interactive cutscene: Dodge as the axe is about to hit Leon and Luis. Objective: Find the secret passage in the village that leads to the church. Walk around the corridor to the side for a cutscene introducing the merchant. Save the game at the typewriter on the shelf then exit the building. Walk around the back of the building for another cutscene involving the merchant. This merchant will allow Leon to buy a set of several items and he will be around throughout the rest of the chapter of the game. He will carry newer items as the game progresses. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the shelf in the room where Leon and Luis were tied | | | up | | [ ] Rifle Ammo | Lying next to the typewriter | | [ ] Red Herb | Break the left wooden barrel behind the merchant | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Sell the 7 Spinels, the Ruby, and the Pearl Pendant but none of the other treasures. The others are combinable with other treasures for a greater value and it's best to keep them for now. Above all else, buy the Attache Case M. The TMP and Rifle are more of your decision. The TMP is much better on the Wii version thanks to a more precise aim - it can be a good substitute for the handgun. The Rifle has some good damage, but the precision scope isn't really needed yet. Don't buy the extra scope since there is absolutely no need for it, which is true for the entire game really. /-----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Merchant Items | |=================================================================| | Attache Case M | 24000 | TMP | 10000 | | Treasure Map (Village) | 3000 | Rocket Launcher | 30000 | | Handgun | 8000 | Scope (Rifle) | 7000 | | Shotgun | 20000 | First Aid Spray | 5000 | | Rifle | 12000 | ---------------------- | | \-----------------------------------------------------------------/ As for upgrades, it would be good to mainly upgrade the capacity and reload speed for your weapons. Seconds matter in intense fights with several Ganados more than damage at this point. Upgrade the shotgun more than the handgun since Leon will be keeping it longer. /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Handgun | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 2 | 1.2 | 7000 | Reload Speed | Lv 2 | 1.47 | 4000 | | Firing Speed | Lv 2 | 0.40 | 5000 | Capacity | Lv 2 | 13 | 4000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Shotgun | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 2 | 4.5 | 15000 | Reload Speed | Lv 2 | 2.43 | 7000 | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 2 | 8 | 8000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Rifle | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 2 | 5.0 | 10000 | Reload Speed | Lv 2 | 3.23 | 8000 | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 2 | 7 | 6000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Walk toward the double doors in front of the building for a cutscene. __ Mountain Village __ Open or kick open the doors - it doesn't matter, the Ganados will be all over Leon in just a minute anyway. It is possible to lead Ganados through the double doors and blast them from the other side. Also there are holes in the brick gate that Leon can shoot through. Try to go for headshots then kick them off the side of the bridges. Sometimes a Ganado will automatically fall to his death when he is shot on the bridge. Try to shoot the Ganados on the high ledges and buildings before getting too close to them since they will throw dynamite or weapons from a distance. The gate at the far north end of the village is locked and requires a medallion to open it, so the main objective here is to search for the two halves of the medallion. One half, the ++EMBLEM (LEFT HALF)++, is on the southeast end at the top of a hill and the other half, the ++EMBLEM (RIGHT HALF)++ is on the southwest end on top of the middle building in the village. Climb the ladder in the center of the middle building to get up to the rooftop. They are both hidden inside of treasure chests. Both halves are guarded by Ganados with throwing weapons. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Shotgun Ammo | On a shelf inside the middle building (southwest end) | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a crate inside the middle building (middle room) | | [ ] Flash Grenade | Open the single locker in the middle building | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Open the locker on the left inside of the small north- | | | east building | | [ ] Yellow Herb | Open the locker on the right inside of the small north- | | | east building. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ From the rooftop of the middle building, Leon can get the perfect view of the Ganados on the high ledges and rooftops so make sure to take advantage of this. A rifle could come in handy here, but still, the Wii-mote makes sniping just as possible with a handgun or TMP. Once Leon has both halves of the medallion, examine the gate on the east end of the village then combine both halves through the menu to get the ++HEXAGONAL EMBLEM++. Use the Emblem on the gate to unlock it. __ Outside Facility __ Break the wooden barrel to the right of the entrance doors by the dumpster, break the two barrels down the left path. Kick open the facility doors after exploring the outside of the facility. __ Inside the Facility __ While breaking the first barrel off to the left a mask can be noticed through the hole in the wall to the side, but this cannot be collected until Leon moves deeper into the facility. Aim at the boards on the left wall in that room to see that the cursor turns red while moving over them - this is the key to getting this. Continue through the doors on the opposite side for now. A wave Ganados will attack Leon through the next set of doors, watch for the weapon throwers as usual. Step behind the crate next to the door that Leon just opened and let them come your way to play it safe or just go charging in! Jump through one of the windows along the side of the wall after fighting off the first Ganado wave. Ganados will stand on the other side of the room and toss dynamite at Leon. The best way to approach this part is to shoot one of the sticks of dynamite while it is near them - this will take out the whole group. Use the A button while standing behind the dumpster ("Crouch" command) to duck the dynamite blast. While Leon is ducking hold the B button to make him aim then let go of the button to make him return to his ducking state. Take note of the nine bear traps spread around the room and disarm them while running over to any pickups. The next room with the dripping ceilings is where Leon can get the mask from earlier. Break the board on the south wall then hop into the room and collect it. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Open the cover to the first fireplace on the right | | [ ] Spinel | Open the cover to the second fireplace on the right | | [ ] Elegant Mask | In the room with the dripping ceiling (past the room | | | with bear traps) break the wooden boards on the opening | | | of the south wall and jump through the opening to find | | | this on the left | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Continue through the next door and move down the stairs. A single Ganado will attack near the ladder at the end. Shoot him in the head and kick him off into the water for an instant kill. Jump down into the water below for some items. There are quite a number of fish here and Leon can kill them and pick them up as items. They will restore his health or they can be sold to the merchant. Throw a hand grenade into the water to kill most of them instantly. Make sure that there is enough room in Leon's inventory to carry them all. The Large Bass takes up about as much as a shotgun. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check in the water | | [ ] Flash Grenade | Check in the water (behind the ladder) | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Check in the water (behind the ladder) | | [ ] Large Bass | Kill it in the water then pick it up | | [ ] Bass | Kill them in the water then pick them up | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Round up the fish then climb back up the ladder. Climb up the next ladder. __ Path to the Chief's House __ Turn to the left to spot a treasure hanging above the well. Notice the signpost with the skulls revealing that there are traps in the area. Shoot the C4 along with the 3 bear traps up ahead before moving down the path - one of the bear traps is on the left side just in case Leon tries to slip past the C4. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Brass Pocket | Shoot the plank holding up the well lid then shoot the | | Watch | pocket watch. Retrieve it while it is on the lid top | | [ ] Extra PTAS | Shoot the crows along the path ahead (the C4 can kill | | | the furthest two) | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Walk up the stairs of the house at the top of the hill. At the top and to the side is a door that requires Leon to rotate the large crystal ball on the door so that it matches up with the Illuminados symbols along the sides. _____ / \ / \ / \ | \ / | | \|/ | | /|\ | | / | \ | | \ | / | | | | \ | / \ / \_____/ -- SOLUTION: Rotate it UP then LEFT. __ Chief Mendez's House __ The door will slide away and allow Leon into the house. Walk inside and search the room for goodies. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Inside of the closet to the right just as Leon enters | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check the left drawer of the desk to find this | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pick up the --INSIGNIA KEY-- from the open box on the dresser across from the entrance. This is the key that will allow Leon into that one locked building back in Pueblo Village. Collect the ++CHIEF'S NOTE++ file from the bed. Notice the window to the side of this room. Try to break it with a knife. It can't be broken, and it is indestructible for a reason. I'll share the info behind this at the beginning of the next chapter so as not to spoil anything. Open the door for a cutscene that will end this chapter. _______ __ ___ ____ / ___/ / ___ ____ / /____ ____ < /___|_ / / /__/ _ \/ _ `/ _ \/ __/ -_) __/ / /___//_ < \___/_//_/\_,_/ .__/\__/\__/_/ /_/ /____/ /_/ [CH13] CHAPTER 1-3 __ Chief Mendez's House __ Objective: Find the church Once the radio cutscene is over check the cabinet for some extra pesetas and be sure to open the door that leads to the room Leon just exited from in the last chapter to get the extra cutscene - it provides a good setup for a cutscene later in the game. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Green Herb | Open the cabinet below the picture of "the hooded man" | | | on the second floor | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Extra Cutscene | |=============================================================================| | * Open the door to the room that Leon exited from in the last chapter | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Now, about the window that I mentioned in the last chapter, it was indestructible because "the woman in red" always shoots through the window then Chief Mendez destroys it in the extra cutscene. In the Gamecube version the window is breakable prior to the cutscene and it always appears fixed in the cutscene of the next chapter. Run down the stairs. Open the door below the stairs to find a Ganado in the restroom! Check around the dining room for a few item pickups then save at the typewriter. Open the front door. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Incendiary | Break the glass casing on the shelf to the right of the | | Grenade | fireplace and grab the grenade | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Open the cabinet across from the shelf described above | | [ ] Brown Chicken | Open the oven across from the typewriter | | Egg | | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ Path to Pueblo Village __ A few Ganados and a chainsaw Ganado will attack as Leon steps out of the house. A grenade is very useful at this part (hand or incendiary). Use the shotgun to keep the chainsaw Ganado grounded and try to focus on the other Ganados since the one with the chainsaw takes much longer to kill. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Ruby | Kill the chainsaw Ganado | | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the bird's nest on the branch in one of the trees | | | on the path down to the shed | | [ ] TMP Ammo | Shoot the bird's nest on the branch in one of the trees | | | a little ways from the shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Be sure to shoot the bird nests up in the trees for some extra pickups along the path. A group of Ganados will be waiting at the very end of the path. Open the doors at the end to reenter Pueblo Village. __ Pueblo Village __ A few Ganados followed by a whole swarm of Ganados will attack as Leon makes his way into the village. Use a hand grenade or incendiary grenade from the top of the path if they start to group up too much. Beware the Ganados on the rooftops in the middle of the village. There are no new items in the village at this time. Approach the middle building with the insignia door and use the insignia key to unlock it. __ Insignia Building __ Save your game at the typewriter and collect all the items in the area. Open the door and shoot the lantern up above for a Spinel. These lanterns can be shot in later chapters to set enemies on fire while they are below them. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the top of the cabinet | | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the lantern hanging from the ceiling in the next | | | room | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Open the trapdoor on the floor then jump down into the opening in the floor and follow the tunnel at the bottom.

He will mention the blue medallions that Leon received a note about all the way back in the Farm area. The Churchyard that contains the rest of the blue medallions is right up ahead so don't bother upgrading the current handgun any since Leon will be getting another one by shooting all of the medallions. The only new item that merchant has is a stock (this helps to make the cursor steady when equipped to the TMP) and he offers upgrades for the TMP now. Sell the Spinels, the Ruby, the Brass Pocket Watch, and the Elegant Headdress to him for some extra pesetas. /-----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Merchant Items | |=================================================================| | Attache Case M | 24000 | TMP | 10000 | | Treasure Map (Village) | 3000 | Rocket Launcher | 30000 | | Handgun | 8000 | * Stock (TMP) | 4000 | | Shotgun | 20000 | Scope (Rifle) | 7000 | | Rifle | 12000 | First Aid Spray | 5000 | \-----------------------------------------------------------------/ /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | TMP | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 2 | 0.5 | 7000 | Reload Speed | Lv 2 | 1.93 | 5000 | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 2 | 50 | 7000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Open the door and climb the ladder at the end of the tunnel. __ Churchyard __ A few Ganados will attack as Leon first enters the graveyard. Check the twin gravestones located in the graveyard to find pairs of twin symbol designs on top of them. These symbols will be used in a puzzle up ahead. All the rest of the blue medallions are spread around this area as well. The requirement is ten, but be sure to shoot them all for an even better prize! /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Hand Grenade | Shoot the bird's nest directly above the doorway while | | | moving away from the ladder | | [ ] Rifle Ammo | Shoot the bird's nest before walking up to the overhead | | | wood structure | | [ ] Extra PTAS | Shoot the three crows out in the graveyard when Leon | | | makes it to the overhead wood structure | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Blue Medallion Locations (8 total) | |=============================================================================| | * Hanging from a branch of a tree in front of the shed (in the background) | | * Hanging from a branch of a tree that is near the fence along the path | | leading to the church | | * Hanging from a branch of a tree on the north middle portion of the grave- | | yard | | * Hanging from a branch that extends across the north side of the church. | | Shoot it from the front of the church | | * After retrieving the green catseye from the puzzle pedestal, while still | | facing the pedestal, look up and to the left to see this hanging from | | the back portion of the roof of the church | | * After jumping across the first gap in the bridge behind the church, turn | | around and look below the bridge to see this one hanging there | | * Beside the small building along the side of the bridge, hanging from the | | top portion of the bridge | | * Before jumping across the second gap in the bridge, look below the bridge | | portion up ahead to see this hanging from the bottom | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Follow the path leading to the church up above. Some more Ganados will attack at the top. Shoot the dynamite in the dynamite Ganado's hand to kill them all quickly. Walk around the right side of the church. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Incendiary | Shoot the bird's nest in the tree in front of the church | | Grenade | (right side) | /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Extra Scenes | |=============================================================================| | * Shoot the church bell on the top right side of the church to summon a | | group of Ganados into the graveyard below.

This puzzle requires Leon to light up the three designs that were found in the graveyard on the three twin gravestones. The symbols are as follows: -- SOLUTION: _ |\\ | \\ \-- --/ // / \ / \ \\ // // // \\ // \\ \\ // // // \\// \\ \\// // //-- \/ --\\ \/ \\ | \\| From the starting position (the top center) move the pointer in the following pattern: ** 3 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 3 ** This will get Leon the green catseye that can be combined with the Beerstein for extra pesetas when sold to the merchant. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Green Catseye | Solve the puzzle in the back of the church to release | | | this item | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Walk back to the front of the church and check the door for a Hunnigan radio cutscene. Objective: Find the engraving that will open the door to the church Follow the path along the right side of the church and walk out onto the bridge. Shoot the Ganados and they will most likely fall off the bridge - if not then just kick them off with a blast to the face followed by a roundhouse. Inside the building on the left, grab the ++CLOSURE OF THE CHURCH++ file. The box to the left of the file has a snake in it. Perform two knife swings (one to break the box and one to kill the snake) in order to kill it and receive a chicken egg. The snakes will be lurking in a few of these boxes from now on. Their damage rate is very low if they manage to bite Leon. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] SNAKE! | Break the box to the left of the file in the small | | | building on the side of the bridge | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Continue to the end of the bridge and blast the single Ganado guarding the next door. Open the door at the end. __ Holding Area __ Notice the group of crows in the middle. Throw a flash grenade to kill them all then grab all the goodies that they drop. One even carries a flash grenade! Notice the moaning sounds? That is coming from something behind the pair of large doors on the east side. Walk down the stairs on the opposite side of this area. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Extra PTAS | Shoot/throw a flash grenade at the group of crows in | | | the middle of the area | | [ ] Flash Grenade | The middle crow carries this | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check on the table in the first small building | | [ ] Spinel | Check on the table in the first small building | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Check on the table in the third small building | | [ ] Spinel | On the rocks in the wheelbarrow on the northwest side | | | of this area | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ Merchant Shop __ Run down the stairs and hop down the first dropoff. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On top of the first set of small crates | | [ ] Black Bass | Shoot the Black Bass in the water. They have to jump | | | toward Leon in order for him to pick them up | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ The merchant in this area carries an extra item and some more weapon Tune-ups if Leon shot enough of the medallions. If Leon shot over 10 medallions then the merchant will offer a free Punisher handgun; if Leon shot all 15 medallions, the merchant will offer a free Punisher handgun with a bonus firepower upgrade. The upgrade is usually 10000 PTAS extra. /-----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Merchant Items | |=================================================================| | Attache Case M | 24000 | ** Punisher | 0 | | Treasure Map (Village) | 3000 | Rocket Launcher | 30000 | | Handgun | 8000 | Stock (TMP) | 4000 | | Shotgun | 20000 | Scope (Rifle) | 7000 | | Rifle | 12000 | First Aid Spray | 5000 | | TMP | 10000 | ---------------------- | ----- | \-----------------------------------------------------------------/ /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ** Punisher | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 2 | 1.1 | 10000 | Reload Speed | Lv 2 | 1.47 | 8000 | | Firing Speed | Lv 2 | 0.40 | 10000 | Capacity | Lv 2 | 13 | 8000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ ** If Leon shot at least 10 medallions. Shoot all 15 and the Punisher will already have a firepower upgrade. Use the typewriter to the side to save your progress then exit back out of the shop and enter the doors to the right in the Holding Area. __ Swamp __ Check the shed to the side for some extra items. Notice the red signpost with the skulls on it. Look up after examining it to see a boulder on the rock wall up above. Run down the path then get ready for an interactive cutscene. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table inside of the right shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Interactive Cutscene: Wiggle the Wii-mote to outrun the boulder then press A+B to roll away from the boulder as Leon reaches the bottom. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Right after escaping the boulder, walk forward a bit, | | | turn around, then look at the rock wall up above. Shoot | | | the shiny object then collect it from the ground. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ A Ganado will be standing on the wooden walkway above the swamp up ahead. The C4 behind him can be shot to kill him instantly, but there is a much better way to use that C4. Try to kill him and leave the C4 there. Jump into the swamp on the left side and blast the Ganados that attack in the water. Soon some more Ganados will come from the path where Leon escaped the boulder. Use the ramp to the side to climb back up on the wooden walkway and Leon will be standing on the opposite side of the C4. Wait for one of them to run across the C4 and trigger it or shoot it yourself. One of the best things to do is to shoot the quicker Ganados to stall them and let them all gang up then shoot the C4 or let them trigger it. Grenades work very well for these groups of Ganados since quite a few pile up. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Grenade | At the very beginning of the swampy area, drop off the | | | left side and this will be on a dry piece of land to | | | the left | | [ ] SNAKE! | Break the right crate on the shelf in the shed | | [ ] SNAKES! | There are two more snakes slithering around in the | | | water or on the wooden walkway somewhere in this area | | [ ] Incendiary | On a bench on the second portion of the wooden walkway | | Grenade | (the one with the bridge) | | [ ] Antique Pipe | Get in the water and move over to the south/southeast | | | side of the second wooden walkway then find the patch | | | of dry land with a tree. Shoot the bird's nest up in | | | the tree and this will fall from it. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Many more Ganados are strewn out around this swamp area along with a few C4 traps. Many times the Ganados will walk directly into the C4 traps so try to lure them toward the traps. Get on top of the second wooden walkway then follow the path ahead and open the door at the end. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] SNAKE! | Break the box on the table in the second shed | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the second shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ Path to the Lake __ Follow the path directly ahead at first - don't turn right yet. At the top of the path a cutscene will play. Return the way that Leon came then make a left and follow the other path that leads to the dock at the end. Stop in the second shed and save at the typewriter - especially if you want to check out the extra scene. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Gold Bangle | Shoot the bird's nest in the tree about midways down | | w/Pearls | the path that leads to the dock | | [ ] Yellow Herb | Break the wooden box on the table in the first shed | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table in the first shed | | [ ] Green Herb | On the table by the typewriter in the second shed | | [ ] Black Bass | There are a few Black Bass in the water, but I would | | | HIGHLY recommend throwing a grenade into the water to | | | kill them since they are basically there to trick the | | | player into firing into the water - see below. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Extra Death Animation | |=============================================================================| | * Stand on the very edge of the dock and shoot anywhere six times - this is | | a secret death animation for Leon, so save before you try this. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ The Lake __ The fish at the dock can be collected - throw a grenade into the water to kill most of them. Get in the boat and drive out into the lake. The opening along with the rooftop on the north side of the lake is closed off for now. Head for the opposite side of the lake and a cutscene will play near the middle of the lake. Boss Battle - Del Lago Life: 60 Directly after the cutscene, Leon will be forced to fight Del Lago as it grabs the boat's anchor and drags the boat across the lake. Hold the B button to make Leon hold a spear then aim at Del Lago and throw the spear at him. The spears come in an infinite supply so don't worry about running out of spears. Dodge the logs and other debris as Del Lago pulls the boat past the obstacles - it is wise to stop hitting him and use the analog to turn if the boat is directly across from one of the obstacles. If Leon falls off the boat then wiggle the Wii-mote to swim back to the boat. As long as Leon gets back on the boat he will be fine. The course of the battle goes like this: Del Lago drags the boat through some obstacles. Del Lago races toward a wall then surfaces and tries to knock Leon off the boat. From this point, Del Lago will do one of two things, he will either drag the boat again and start the above cycle all over again or he will swim off into the water somewhere and leave the boat. If Del Lago leaves the boat then Leon will start to look around the lake. Hold up a spear and start to look around the lake yourself. Del Lago will surface and start to swim toward the boat. Red arrows on the side of the screen will point Leon toward Del Lago's location. Throw a spear at him to stop his charge and he will sink right before he makes it to the boat. Afterwards, Del Lago will grab onto the boat's anchor and lead Leon across the lake once again. HITTING DEL LAGO: The best time to hit Del Lago is while he leads Leon through the water. Leon can throw about three or four spears at him at this time and really damage him badly. Try to wait until there are no obstacles in the way and Leon will be able to gain some real good shots on Del Lago. There is no need to throw a spear while moving around obstacles since Leon will have plenty of chances to hit him at other times - don't put yourself in danger like this. It takes 10 - 12 spears to kill Del Lago on normal mode. DODGING DEL LAGO: Whenever Del Lago surfaces to knock Leon off of the boat near a wall, hold to one of the sides with the analog to dodge him. Turn to one of the sides and make sure that you don't accidentally turn back toward him. LEON'S HEALTH: Leon is automatically doomed no matter how much you swing the remote once he has been knocked into the water with zero health so always try to keep his health away from the red portion. Once Del Lago is defeated an interactive cutscene will play. Interactive cutscene: Wiggle the Wii-mote to make Leon cut the rope of the anchor off of his leg. Another cutscene will play that will end this chapter. _______ __ ___ ___ / ___/ / ___ ____ / /____ ____ |_ |__< / / /__/ _ \/ _ `/ _ \/ __/ -_) __/ / __/___/ / \___/_//_/\_,_/ .__/\__/\__/_/ /____/ /_/ /_/ [CH21] Chapter 2-1 Objective: Find the object that will open the church doors __ Lakeside with Cabin __ Once the cutscenes are over, Leon will start out in the cabin on the other side of the lake. Pick up the ++ANONYMOUS LETTER++ file from the bed. Exit the house via the front door. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table near the typewriter | | [ ] Flash Grenade | On the bottom shelf near the middle table | | [ ] Random ITEM | On the table by the door | | [ ] Large Black | In the water near the dock.

A cutscene will play and Colmillos will | | attack. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ Lake __ The fish at the dock can be collected - throw a hand grenade into the water to kill most of them then get on the boat and collect them. Get back in the boat and drive into the tunnel along the north side of the lake. Look for the blue flames to signify a merchant location. __ Lake Merchant Shop __ Lucky for Leon, another merchant has set up a shop in the middle of the lake. Be sure to scout the area for extra items since there are plenty available. Leon can actually raid the merchant's store just a bit by dropping behind his stand via the rooftop behind the other side of the counter. Walk over to the left side in front of the shop and move the crate all the way back. Break the barrels to the right then climb the ladder. Move the next crate at the top all the way back then push the crate to the right all the way back as well. Break all the barrels in the way then fall down through the opening to land on the other side of the counter by the merchant. Grab the rifle ammo to the side then climb back up. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the hanging overhead torch on the right side of | | | the merchant's shop. Look up! This can also be hit | | | with the knife while on top of the merchant's shop. | | [ ] Green Gem | Break the middle crate at the top of the merchant's | | | shop. | | [ ] Rifle Ammo | Climb on top of the merchant's shop via the ladder on | | | the left side, push the crates, destroy the barrels | | | then fall down into the shop. Turn around and this | | | will be near a pot. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ This particular merchant offers some extra tune-ups for Leon's weapons at the moment. /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Handgun | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 3 | 1.4 | 10000 | Reload Speed | ---- | ---- | ---- | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ----- | Capacity | Lv 3 | 16 | 6000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Shotgun | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 3 | 5.0 | 20000 | Reload Speed | ---- | ---- | ---- | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 3 | 10 | 10000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ | Rifle | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 3 | 6.0 | 12000 | Reload Speed | Lv 3 | 2.33 | 18000 | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 3 | 9 | 8000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Get back in the boat. __ Lake __ There is one more item pickup on the other side of the lake where Leon first entered this area. All wooden boxes and barrels have respawned. A cutscene will trigger if Leon moves down the path toward the door on this side. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the table near the typewriter in the shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Get back in the boat and drive back across the lake to the cabin where Leon started this chapter then enter the door on the northeast side. __ Waterfall __ While moving ahead a cutscene will trigger that will show a Las Plagas (Plagas Head) burst from a Ganados head for the first time. These spawn from the head of regular Ganados. They spawn at random whether or not Leon busts open the head of Ganados. Don't let this discourage you from blasting them in the head since Plagas Heads will sometimes emerge even while shooting an enemy in the chest. Throw a flash grenade at the Plagas Head for an instant kill, equip the rifle and aim directly at the Plagas, or just shoot the head of the Plagas with any other weapon (the TMP works well). These enemies have an arm that will extend outward and slice Leon from the Plagas portion so be careful about getting too close. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] 5000 PTAS | Defeat the Plagas Head | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Another Ganado will attack from up ahead as well. Run up the steps at the end of the path and leap across the platforms above the river then move to the east across the other side. Hop across the broken bridge to get to the north side then climb down the rope to the east. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Look on the left mountain wall directly after climbing | | | down the rope then shoot this item to make it fall | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Shoot the Ganado on the high platform to the side. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Look on the railing of the high platform (near the | | | ladder) | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Walk over to the edge of the wooden walkway next to the water wheel. In order to get across, shoot the crate above the water to make it float downstream and crash against the floodgate providing a platform for Leon to hop across. Hop across the crate and jump to the other side. On the other side, shoot the first crate in the distance and try to hit the second crate up high. If Leon can't hit it then move toward the waterfall in the back and climb the ladder on the left. This will position him right next to the hanging crate. Notice that there is an opening behind the waterfall - Leon can't get to it yet though. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Amber Ring | Shoot the shiny object on the high wooden pole in front | | | of the waterfall | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Hop across the crates. Turn to the right and climb the ladder to the platform up ahead. Pull the lever at the top of the platform to close the floodgate above the waterfall. Drop back down and hop back across the crates to the middle path in front of the waterfall. Ganados will rush out of the secret entrance where the waterfall was at and some more will hop across the crate on the north side in an attempt to trap Leon. Throw a grenade at the Ganados near the secret entrance or pull out the shotgun and start to blast them away from in front of Leon then run toward the tunnel and defeat the others behind Leon. Here's an alternate way to handle the Ganados at this part based on a reader's suggestion: Once you pull the lever that stops the waterfall, jump down and go across the boxes to the platform in the middle. As soon as the cutscene triggers that shows the two sets of Ganados, jump right back to your previous position. Stand your ground in front of the second box. The Ganados will attempt to jump across. Let them get on top of the second crate before unloading your shotgun into them. This will cause them to stagger back and fall off into the river. For even better results, grab your pistol and shoot the faster-moving ones so they'll lump together. I used maybe two shotgun rounds and one pistol shot; it's great if you're as much of a perfectionist as me, since you can pretty easily avoid damage and even potential Plagas heads sprouting. The only downside is that you don't get the possible pickups from their bodies Run through the tunnel that the waterfall was blocking earlier. At the end, pick up the ++ROUND INSIGNIA++. This is the insignia that will open the front door of the church. The rock wall will slide open to reveal another tunnel. Leon will call Hunnigan to tell her the good news. Objective: Get back to the church and save Ashley Follow the new portion of the tunnel up ahead and open the door at the end. __ Secret Cave Behind Waterfall __ Run up ahead and get into the boat. The boat will take Leon back to the Merchant's shop on the other side of the lake. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Break the first torch on the right next to the door | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ Merchant's Shop __ The merchant doesn't have anything new, but you might want to sell off the Amber Ring or make some last minute tune-ups to your weapons. There is a big fight ahead and it would help to have the TMP, but the handgun or shotgun will work just fine. Climb up the ladder and exit the shop to continue. __ Holding Area __ From this area, it is possible to backtrack to the swamp through the right door. Ganados are now in this area and all the wooden boxes and barrels have respawned. There is also some handgun ammo in the shed on the far side of the swamp. There's also a snake in the left box of the first shed. As you can see, the items are not worth backtracking for! /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] SNAKE! | Reenter the Swamp area and break the wooden box in the | | | first shed | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ The wooden barrels in this area have respawned as well, so break the two barrels before walking out to the middle up ahead. When Leon approaches the middle, a cutscene will play and a boss fight will start afterward. Boss Battle - El Gigante Life to knock down: 25 - 30 Las Plagas (main) life: 15 - 20 This boss looks tough and he actually is a little tough if you don't know his main weakness. He's a sucker for flash grenades! At the start of the battle run around and keep your eyes on El Gigante. Make sure that he is in your view since he has a few attacks that cover great distances. He will sometimes pick up one of the trees along the side of this area and swing them at Leon. Press the on-screen sequence as it appears to duck under the tree. El Gigante will also try to ram and will throw large rocks at Leon if he moves over to the north side of the area. His close attacks are a kick, an overhead smash, and a grab. If he grabs Leon, he will pick him up and start to squeeze him. Wiggle the Wii-mote while El Gigante holds Leon to make Leon stab El Gigante's arm. He will drop Leon at that time. Stall long enough at the beginning of this battle and the dog that Leon helped all the way back in the woods will show up in a cutscene - if Leon saved him that is (shooting him to make him run doesn't count as a save). The dog will get El Gigante's attention and lure him away from Leon. Use this chance to run inside the small buildings to the side and gather up ammo if Leon needs it. This is also a great chance to fire at El Gigante without the need of flash grenades. Throw a flash grenade then shoot him with the shotgun, handgun, or TMP. If the dog is distracting El Gigante then don't worry about the flash grenade. When El Gigante leans over, rush over to him and press the A button when the on- screen icon appears in order to climb on top of El Gigante's back. Leon will take out his knife and move toward the Plagas on the creature's back. Wiggle the Wii-mote from right to left to slash at the Plagas on El Gigante's back. Eventually Leon will jump off. Go back to attacking El Gigante again - throw a flash grenade then attack him while he is stunned. Get on his back once again when he leans over then start to slash some more. Two back slashings will kill El Gigante if you move the Wii-mote fast enough during the slashing. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Yellow Herb | On the wheelbarrow along the northwest side | | [ ] Red Herb | On the logs in the west | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the logs in the west | | [ ] TMP Ammo | In the first small building | | [ ] Spinel | In the first small building | | [ ] Green Herb | In the first small building | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | In the second small building | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | In the second small building | | [ ] Spinel | In the third small building | | [ ] Shotgun Ammo | In the third small building | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | In the third small building | | [ ] 15000 PTAS | Kill El Gigante | /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Extra Cutscene | |=============================================================================| | * If Leon saved the dog from the bear trap near the beginning of the game | | then it will show up in a cutscene and help distract El Gigante for a | | while | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Be sure to pick up the 15000 PTAS from El Gigante's body then leave the area and head back to the church. __ Churchyard (Night) __ Run and jump back across the bridge. The boxes in the shed have respawned. Once Leon walk up the path that leads to the church a trio of Colmillos will attack. These dog enemies are very aggressive so try to keep them all on one side of Leon. Blast them with a shotgun or the TMP. Walk up to the front door of the church and use the Round Insignia to unlock it then open it. __ Church __ Climb up the ladder on the left side. A gate blocks the way to the door in the middle of the walkway so move over to the walkway across from the chandelier then jump on the chandelier and time a jump so that Leon leaps to the other side of the second floor. Just keep tapping the A button if you want Leon to make the jump on the first swing - it always works! /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] 3000 PTAS | To the left of the altar on top of a cabinet | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Examine the control panel with the colored switches and some lights will shine above the altar. Match up the patterns so that they correspond with the middle image. Notice the arrows on the sides of each circle. Match up the arrows as follows: -- SOLUTION - RED - GREEN - BLUE ________ ________ ________ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ | | | < | | > | | | | < | | > | \ \/ / \ / \ / \________/ \________/ \________/ Rotate the circles as described above then combine the colored circles to open the gates along the side of the second floor walkway. Enter the room for a cutscene. __ Storage __ Objective: Find the trail leading out of the village ++PLAYING MANUAL 3++ will be received after the cutscenes. Leave the room after collecting all the goodies from the barrels. __ Church __ Drop down the ladder. A "Catch" command will appear so press the A button to catch Ashley as she falls. This is the only way that Ashley can get down from a high place so remember that. A cutscene will play as Leon tries to leave the church that will end this chapter. _______ __ ___ ___ / ___/ / ___ ____ / /____ ____ |_ |___|_ | / /__/ _ \/ _ `/ _ \/ __/ -_) __/ / __/___/ __/ \___/_//_/\_,_/ .__/\__/\__/_/ /____/ /____/ /_/ [CH22] Chapter 2-2 __ Church Exterior __ Unlock the door up ahead then open it to enter the church courtyard once again.

When Leon walks over toward the top of the path leading to the graveyard, Ashley will point to the wagon and tell Leon to shoot the barrels on the wagon. Shoot the barrels on the wagon as soon as possible and it will burst into flames then roll down the hill and take the whole group of Ganados with it. Sometimes a straggler will remain. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] 1500 PTAS | Shoot the bird's nest up in the tree in front of the | | | church | | [ ] Spinel | Shoot the bird's nest directly after going under the | | | wooden structure at the end of the path.

Follow the path all the way back to the ladder that leads down into the tunnel below the insignia building and climb down it. __ Secret Tunnel __ The merchant has a new weapon along with its stock and some extra tune-ups. He has the Red9, which is arguably the best handgun in the game. It's powerful but has a lower reload animation and firing speed than the Punisher and Handgun. I'd recommend it myself. /-----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Merchant Items | |=================================================================| | Attache Case M | 24000 | Punisher | 20000 | | Treasure Map (Village) | 3000 | Rocket Launcher | 30000 | | Handgun | 8000 | * Stock (Red9) | 4000 | | * Red9 | 14000 | Stock (TMP) | 4000 | | Shotgun | 20000 | Scope (Rifle) | 7000 | | Rifle | 12000 | First Aid Spray | 5000 | | TMP | 10000 | ---------------------- | ----- | \-----------------------------------------------------------------/ /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Punisher | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 3 | 1.3 | 15000 | Reload Speed | ---- | ---- | ----- | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ----- | Capacity | Lv 3 | 16 | 10000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Red9 | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 2 | 1.3 | 15000 | Reload Speed | Lv 2 | 2.20 | 6000 | | Firing Speed | Lv 2 | 0.47 | 10000 | Capacity | Lv 2 | 10 | 6000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | TMP | |===========================================================================| | Firepower | Lv 3 | 0.6 | 14000 | Reload Speed | ---- | ---- | ----- | | Firing Speed | ---- | ---- | ------ | Capacity | Lv 3 | 100 | 15000 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Continue through the tunnel and climb up the ladder at the end. __ Insignia Building __ Be sure to save the game at the typewriter once again. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Spinel | Make sure to have Ashley behind Leon, then once again | | | aim at the lantern and shoot it in the room with the | | | ladder | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ __ Pueblo Village __ As already mentioned the barrels and boxes in these revisited areas have respawned so raid all the houses once again for random items. There are a few new items lying around mentioned below. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] TMP Ammo | Enter the house where the shotgun was and this will be | | | behind some glass casing where a grenade used to be, | | | right across from the plaque where the shotgun was | | [ ] Spinel | Climb to the top of the tower next to the insignia | | | building and this will be on the table at the top | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ This can be a scary area at dark since the visibility is so poor thanks to the darkness and the surrounding fog. Run up the path that leads to the farm (northeast) path and be wary of the Ganados and bear traps along the route. The Ganados can be very hard to see in this area at times. __ Farm __ Move toward the open red dumpster until the "Hide" command appears then press the + button to make Ashley hide in the dumpster. Press the button again to make her get out and follow Leon again. Enter the shed to the left and collect the ++SERA AND THE 3RD PARTY++ file. Save your game at the typewriter once again. The Ganados in at the Farm are spread out much like they were before. There are three of them on the wooden walkway beside the second barn so make sure to shoot them and knock them off. There are bear traps laid out in the second barn, so shoot them or knife them before entering. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Open the first cabinet off to the right in the second | | | barn | | [ ] Green Herb | Open the cabinet in the back of the second barn | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Open the cabinet on the second floor of the second barn | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Get on the second floor of the second barn then jump out the window and get on the walkway. Follow the walkway to the north then finish off the single Ganado after dropping then shoot the bear traps. Approach the large set of doors that are locked. While Ashley is with Leon a "Piggyback" command will appear instead of a "Check" command, so use the new command and she will unlock the gate for Leon. __ Path to the Cabin __ Run up to the bridge and a merchant will be set up in front of it. Make any last minute upgrades that you think you might need for a whole siege of Ganados. I would recommend upgrading the shotgun as far as it can go - basically every aspect will help. It pays to have a TMP for this next area also. Make sure the capacity is up as far as it can go and that the reload is upgraded. When Leon moves out to the middle of the bridge Hunnigan will contact him again. Continue further across the bridge to activate a set of cutscenes. __ Cabin __ Boss Battle - Ganado Ambush Push the three bookcases over the three windows on the first floor. This will allow Leon to collect the items found around the room. Go upstairs and collect those items as well. Check the closet upstairs to see that Ashley has taken cover in the closet - she can't be hit. Keep an eye on all three bookcases on the bottom floor; when the first one falls, run to the side and start to blast the Ganados with the shotgun. Once all three windows are open, find a corner so that Leon has a view of all the windows - standing in the corner at the bottom of the stairs is one of the best areas. Keep the shotgun handy and be sure to watch the bullet count and reload properly. Don't be afraid to throw a grenade of any type at any time - Luis will roll out of the way as Leon tosses the grenade. Speaking of Luis, he will help out quite a bit during this battle with his Red9, but he will sometimes get grabbed so be sure to help him out by blasting the Ganado that grabs him. As long as Leon is not aiming directly at Luis then Luis will not get hit. He will only take five hits from Leon before a "game over" cutscene occurs. Luis will pass out ammo to Leon sometimes so be sure to grab it. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Red Herb | On a chair by the window near the front door | | [ ] Yellow Herb | On the wooden chest by the front door | | [ ] Hand Grenade | On the middle table | /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Secret Death/Cutscene | |=============================================================================| | * Shoot Luis five times. He will turn and kill Leon. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ When Luis gives the order to move upstairs, follow him. Ganados will break the ladders on the second floor by positioning ladders below the windows. Push the ladders away from the windows to keep them from entering the room on that side. They will always place the ladder back in place in a few seconds though. Watch for Ganados that are just entering the house from the second floor and blast them back out the window. Keep an eye on the Ganados that ascend the stairs to the side since they can get out of control easily. Like before, stand with Leon's back to a corner to get a good view of the room. Only push the ladders down if there is no immediate danger in the room. Eventually the Ganados will stop attacking once enough have been killed and a cutscene will follow that will end this chapter. HINT: It's possible to finish this battle before Luis gives the order to go up stairs if Leon can kill enough Ganados downstairs quick enough. The battle automatically ends after a certain amount of Ganados have been killed. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Incendiary | On a chair near the railing of the stairs on the second | | Grenade | floor | | [ ] Flash Grenade | On a log across from the staircase of the second floor | | [ ] Green Herb | On a group of logs near the railing of the stairs on | | | on the second floor | | [ ] Hand Grenade | On a middle shelf in the middle of the room on the | | | second floor | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ _______ __ ___ ____ / ___/ / ___ ____ / /____ ____ |_ |___|_ / / /__/ _ \/ _ `/ _ \/ __/ -_) __/ / __/___//_ < \___/_//_/\_,_/ .__/\__/\__/_/ /____/ /____/ /_/ [CH23] Chapter 2-3 Objective: Meet at the extraction point outside the village. __ Cabin __ Leon will start on the bottom floor of the cabin. Run back upstairs and pick up any item drops from the previous Ganado battle if any of them were dying prior to the final cutscene. Jump out a window or kick through the front door and exit the cabin. Search around outside to find a few extra pickups here and there. Enter the small shed and pick up the ++TWO ROUTES++ file then save at the typewriter. The merchant doesn't offer any new upgrades or items at this point. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the group of logs on the south end of the cabin | | [ ] TMP Ammo | On a single log near a group of logs in front of the | | | cabin (southwest side) | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ As the file explains, there are two guarded routes out of the village and Leon must choose one. Actually you should take both paths in order to get all the treasure and item pickups strewn around each path. The right path is the easiest by far, if you know how to deal with an El Gigante. Use the lever in between the wooden gates and choose left or right to open the corresponding gate then enter the gate of choosing. __ Right Path __ The path is silent up until Leon moves toward the chained door in the back. A cutscene will play and an El Gigante will enter the area. Ashley will immediately shout to Leon and point up at a boulder up above. Make sure that Ashley moves then shoot the wooden platform that holds up the boulder to make it fall in El Gigante's path. If timed precisely, this boulder will hit El Gigante on the back, but it will not instantly make him lean over - it really doesn't damage him that much at one might think. While it is in front of him, it will delay him just a bit while he smashes it, which will help Leon and Ashley escape him if you decide to run. Throw a flash grenade then wear the El Gigante down while he is stunned. When he leans over, climb his back like before and slash at him. Perform the same method once again to kill him. If you choose to run from the El Gigante then fire at the chains on the door (use the TMP or a handgun) - don't even think about kicking the chains since he will surely catch up to Leon by then. The door has to be kicked down though. If El Gigante catches Ashley then be sure to shoot at him to free her. He takes off some incredible damage from her, so don't give him a chance to grab her. If Leon stands below him then be sure to use the on-screen command to dodge as he falls. El Gigante will drop 15000 PTAS once he is defeated so be sure to pick it up. Find the key item, the ++OLD KEY++ inside the second small building to open the set of doors at the far end of this path and exit the path completely. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | [ ] TMP Ammo | Inside the first small building | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Inside the first small building | | [ ] Spinel | Inside the first small building | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Inside the first small building | | [ ] Incendiary | Inside the first small building | | Grenade | | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Inside the second small building | | [ ] Spinel | Inside the second small building | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Inside the second small building | | [ ] Handgun Ammo | Inside the second small building | | [ ] 1000 PTAS | Inside the second small building | | [ ] Spinel | In
