I) Introduction
===============
Hello! I have taken it upon myself to compose a spoiler free guide for
those who would like to trek through Resident Evil 4 while not
having the plot or interesting gameplay details spoiled for them as 
they read through a guide. This guide is designed to give the player a 
brief walkthrough for the game while not revealing anything like 
critical plot moments or files that the player would like to discover 
on his/her own. The strategies and descriptions should be brief enough 
to help the player through any tough spots while being light enough to 
not spoil anything. 

After 5 years or so of being at GameFAQs, this is my first ever guide!
So lets hope I do this right...

This is one of the greatest games I've ever played in recent times, and
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

On to the walkthrough!

XXI) Contact
============

The e-mail is [email protected]. If you think I wasn't specific 
enough on some of the steps then go ahead and e-mail me I'll clear it up 
for you. Obviously, the point of this guide is to help you out while 
revealing as little information as possible. So please don't e-mail me 
asking for boss strategies or puzzle solutions. There are other guides for
those if you can't figure them out on your own. Thanks for reading, and 
hopefully this was helpful to whoever uses it. Thats it for now. Until my 
next guide... Whenever that will be... Ha. Later.
