Welcome to my walkthrough of Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo GameCube
console. This walkthrough will only cover the GC version  for  now  so
dont ask me about the ps2 version thats  scheduled  to  come out later
in 2005 , since we hardly know anything about it as of now.

This walkthrough is brought to you by Adnan Javed,  better  known  as 
ChandooG on the GameFAQ's message boards and as A-J among his friends 
and many many forums. So far this is for the Nintendo  version of the 
game only, and if the game is ever ported to any other console I shall 
add information about them as required.

This walkthrough by all means is not complete and I will most definitely
by adding tons and tons of stuff to it in the coming days, like I said
above right now im just in a hurry to make a place holder  for  myself
and thus im uploading an incomplete version of the walkthrough for now.

ENJOY !

     If you haven't already figured it out, the code is a sort of  quick
     jump from section to section rather then skimming through the whole 
     thing, just hold CTRL+F and enter the code of the section you  want
     to go to in the box, and presto. Your there.

games there too. For easier navigation.

Alright, so this is most probably the most ambitious work I have 
ever done so far, its also probably the first walkthrough that I 
didn't finish in the first version, mostly  because  of  my  mid 
terms so here's version history  area  for  the back story kinda 
people (like me).


VERSION 0.1
-----------

Started the initial work on the walkthrough, wrote down some of
the smaller sections, the walkthrough  is  still  not  complete
though, i will probably do  that  before january is over. Other
sections will come soon afterwards.  Please send me feedback on
what you think about it.


VERSION 0.2
-----------

Alright, another day and another batch of the walkthrough is now
done, though i probably will upload the next version  when  I've
done the main walkthrough part, but im leaving  that for the end
since this is a huge game and that will take  me the most amount
of time to complete. God help me.. Still I  have plenty of stuff
that i have to add, and i haven't  even  touched the walkthrough
part for the past few days. Im anticipating  this  thing will go
over 400 kb if it keeps getting bigger like this. 

PS. The reason why i updated it so quickly after GameFaqs  accepted 
it was 'cause i made a HUGE error for the release dates in the info 
section, I accidentally copied from another game lol.


VERSION 0.3
-----------

After receiving more then one complaint that the timeline section
was too big and not that useful I decided to trim it down a whole
lot and its now a lot smaller and slimmer, there you go people lol.
I will most definitely continue the main walkthrough from Monday 
hopefully.


VERSION 0.4
-----------

Completed a crap load of stuff, sorry that it took so long since
its been raining like hell where I am at this time and often  my
electricity goes out for hours at a time. Next update will  most
likely be the full guide. p.s. Main walkthrough is done now. One
or the other big things I did was shuffle around with the table
of contents and the sections and now the enemies and weapons are
located after the walkthrough, not before it like I usually do.

If you guys have some questions about the game then gladly email
them to me and I will also add them to the FAQ area as well. 

I STILL have to add more stuff to the walkthrough even as we
speak to dont be surprised if it gets even bigger in the coming
days because its NOT finished yet.


VERSION 1.0
-----------

ITS FULL !! yeah, finally, finally after so long, not so long
really but so painful typing for so many hours the walkthrough
is entirely complete. That doesn't mean I wont update it in
the future, if I ever get my wits to do a complete treasure
section in the future that'll be next. But for now, its done.

So for the 1.0 version, I tinkered around with some of the
ASCII in the walkthrough, finished the  mini non  spoiling
walkthrough (THERE YOU GO FOLKS) and the Misc. Ramblings 
section which is quiet fun to read through really hehe.


END OF SECTION.

What do you get when you mix a little bit of Metal Gear solid style 
action, some silent hill style psychological scares, and  a  little 
bit of old school resident evil charm and scare into a pot and mix, 
you get Resident Evil 4, thats right, Resident  Evil  4,  the  game 
thats gone through even more stages then  Jacko  himself.  Resident 
Evil as we know it has been changed completely  and by god its been 
done all for the very best. For those who dont have  any idea about 
the history of just this one game, let me take you down memory lane.

Rumors about Resident Evil 4 began surfacing as far back as when Code 
Veronica X was first released for the  PlayStation  2  console,  back 
then the earliest RE4 rumors were that you  get to play the game from 
the perspective of an Umbrella agent, possibly  Hunk,  and there were 
even fake box arts which people believed true thrown on the  internet, 
im pretty sure most of you have seen some of them  as  well,  the most 
famous one i still have on my PC.  Now  those  rumors  about  Resident 
evil 4 were shot down after Capcom  signed the  exclusive  deal  with 
Nintendo and their GameCube console.

After that it was quiet for a little while but after Resident Evil 0 
was finished more rumors about Resident Evil 4's development started 
to surface, and there  was  eventually  confirmation  that  it  would 
eventually come out on the Nintendo GameCube console and the main star 
of the show would be none other then Leon S Kennedy, rookie cop turned 
hardened veteran, there was even a trailer launched for the game some 
time ago, the trailer featured Leon  roaming  through  a  castle  like 
enviroment with lush backgrounds and eerie  monsters.  But  eventually 
all that was shut down and it was announced  that the series's creator 
Shinji Mikami wanted to take the series to a new level and that he was 
now working on Resident Evil 4 from  scratch.  After  that it remained 
quiet for some time and we would hear tids and bits about the game and 
its setting, seemingly more like an action game  compared  to a horror 
game, but the fans just dont realize that  you  cant  judge  something 
unless you get your hands on it. Exactly the same case here.

As time passed we started getting footage and video's from  the  un 
finished game core, and the first thing everyone agreed on was that 
the game looked abso-fricking-lutely amazing, nothing like this had 
ever been seen before, the graphics were shocking and breath taking. 
So it continued, the next big shock in Resident Evil 4's history came 
when Capcom made a public announcement on their  website  that they 
will eventually make a PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 by the end of 
2005. Not much is known about that port at this time but people (most 
people I know) wonder whether such high quality can be ported over to 
a less end console compared to the GameCube. I personally wish that 
it does.

Thats about the end of Resident Evil 4's history, the game was 
released first in the US area's before any place in the world,  same 
as resident evil zero which came to US before Japan. Now most people 
are rushing to get their copies of the game, and thats just what led 
you to this walkthrough, so here we have. Resident Evil 4, in all its
prime and glory, and by god people should get this game  as  soon  as 
they have some time, or if you dont own a gamecube I would ask you to
 buy one just for this game since this is probably the next big thing 
in video gaming.

But dont just think that Resi 4 is eye candy, the plot behind the game 
though mostly un-related to the previous titles is highly engaging and 
involving, you'll see characters from Leon's past and some new people 
Leon will get to know during the course of the game, first  thing,  I 
just want to clear that Wesker is NOT in the main story game, so dont 
get in confusion about that at this early stage of the walkthrough. 
Now, carry on reading the walkthrough.

Resident Evil(r) 4 marks a terrifying new chapter in the world renowned 
Resident Evil(r) series- exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube(tm). Players 
rejoin Leon S. Kennedy, six years after his first mission as a rookie 
cop from Resident Evil(r) 2. Now as a U.S. agent, Leon is on a top-secret

and has made his way to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon

everything.

Six years have passed since the destruction of Raccoon City. US agent Leon 
S Kennedy has been assigned to locate the president's kidnapped daughter. 
His investigation has led him to a rural port of Europe. Hoping to  find 
information, he makes a stop at a village. But what he  found  was  more 
then out of the ordinary. Upon entering the  village, Leon  is  suddenly 
attacked. He has no choice but to return fire in  self defense. But that 
wasn't enough to stop "Them". It reminded Leon of the  horrors  that had 
occurred in Raccoon City. 

" I thought the nightmares were over.."

Flesh that knows no pain, strength beyond any human, it all seemed very 
familiar, too-familiar. But something was  different,  something  about 
their eyes... inspite of all the madness there was something human still 
in them. 

" No they're different, they're not zombies" 
" Then what are they ? "
" What happened here ? "

--------

That creepy prologue was taken from the official Resident Evil 4 website, 
you should know most of the back story about Resident Evil 4 for now, and 
most of what the game starts off with, to make it a little simple most of 
the game's story does not have that much to do with the past resident evil 
games, so thankfully resident evil 4 is equally enjoyable  by  the  people 
who haven't played any of the previous resident evil  games,  although you 
will be unfamiliar to some of the characters you  meet a little further in 
the game, you still wont miss out on that much. Now  when  the game starts, 
Leon has gotten an assignment from his agency which tells him that he needs
to head to Europe and find the president's daughter who was kidnapped some 
time ago. Leon heads to Europe and his search leads him to a strange 
village and the area surrounding it.

Leon heads with two cops and makes his way into the woody area, he takes 
a little route leading him into a little cabin in the  lush  forest area, 
he finds a single villager inside the cabin, Leon asks the villager about 
the President's daughter, but the  guy  doesn't respond,  slowly  the guy 
reaches for his axe and suddenly  out of no where tries to kill Leon, he 
skillfully dodges the attack and shoots his assailant down, who takes far 
more then any normal  human  could take  to  die,  but  this  wasn't  any 
zombified human either, he was  mostly  humanoid and intelligent, nothing 
like the undead Leon had faced before,  so  what  were they ?! While Leon 
is pondering over this suddenly  he  finds more and more villagers coming 
his way and attacking him. Now Leon must find  the presidents daughter as 
well as safe his own neck from these villagers.

re4004

Here is a basic layout of the control configuration for
Resndent Evil 4.


D-PAD :  
Move the characters around, navigate characters

ANALOG STICK : 
Move the characters around, navigate characters

A BUTTON 
The action button, perform all sorts of actions with this
button and fire weapons when ever ready and aiming.

B BUTTON 
The cancel button, press this to cancel out of menu's or
cancel a choice, also hold down this to run.

L BUTTON 
Aim with the knife, simple as that.

R BUTTON 
Aim with available firearm that your character is holding.

X BUTTON 
Communicate with your partner character, give orders and
what not.

Y BUTTON 
Open the menu.

Z BUTTON 
Open the navigational map.

C-STICK : 
Rotate the camera in any direction. Look mode.

START BUTTON
Pause the game and take a breather.


                        ASHLEY CONTROLS
                        ---------------

Here is a brief list of controls that Leon can command Ashley with
or make Ashley stay and what not. 

Before anything, I should tell you Ashley's death cases,  Ashley  can
die with the methods that Leon can, meaning you can  shoot her either
yourself, a single bullet and she's dead. She can also be attacked by
the monsters on screen, or if you leave her in the  same  place for a
little while and the villagers come and take her away,  its game over.
( Similar to ICO) if you want to  prevent  the  villagers from taking
her away, shoot the villager so that he/she drops Ashley. 

Ashley has a similar life bar as Leon's and that helps you keep  a
quick eye on Ashley's health bar, besides that you will see icon's
displaying what kind of action  Ashley  is  taking  at  this  time.
Since I suck at ASCII.... I will just make text versions of them.

ICON OF TWO PEOPLE : This means simply that Ashley is doing nothing
                     else but following Leon around.

ICON OF ONE PERSON : This means that Ashley is standing alone and
                     waiting for Leon.

ICON WITH LINE IN MIDDLE : This means that Ashley is being attacked
                           and you gotta go help her

EXCLAMATION MARK : This means that Ashley's being taken away by a
                   villager and you need to quickly free her.

Besides that Leon can also often use Ashley's help to reach previously
un-reachable area's, when you get to one you'll get the respective icon.


                   ADVANCED CONTROL FUNCTIONS
                   --------------------------

Resident Evil 4 has some advanced moves too which are really
simple to perform, I call them advance because they're extra
ordinary moves that cannot be performed by just a single key.

QUICK TURNING
-------------
Quick turning first came into view in Resident Evil 3, after
that in the later games the methods of  quick  turning  were
slightly changed but in Resident  Evil  2 the turning method
is exactly the same, when you want to  quick  turn hold down
the down key and press the B button and Leon  will turn in a
180* spin and your good to go.

HAND TO HAND COMBAT
-------------------
Another new feature to Resident Evil 4 is the inclusion  of hand 
to hand combat, not really combat but in certain cases Leon will 
perform kicks or even suplex moves on enemies, if  you  want  to 
execute one make sure that the enemy in front  of  you  is  in a 
dazed position, meaning that if you  are  facing a villager then 
hit it once in the knee so he's either  on  his  knees  or dazed, 
then run right up to him and  press  the  action  key  and  Leon 
will do  a  devastating  kick.  If you do the same thing for the 
monks then Leon will perform the suplex move.

Here in simple words is a chart of what your characters can do 
when an enemy is either kneeled or dazed from a head shot many 
people dont realize this but each character ( im  saying  each 
because im counting the one's in mercenary mode  here too) has 
two different melee attacks they can perform depending on the 
current condition of the enemy, here's the chart.

You can perform one of them on a ganado whom has been stunned 
with a shot to the head.

Leon: Kick
Ada: Fan Kick
Krauser: Kick (Two Kicks - Immensely Powerful)
HUNK: Neck Snap or something (Instant Death, to anything)
Wesker: Thrust Punch (ala CVX)

The second, is only do-able if you shoot them in the calf and they 
kneel in pain.

Leon: Low Kick
Ada: Back Kick
Krauser: Knee (He thrust his knee into the air. Anything it hits 
         takes damage.)
HUNK: Kick (Similar to Knee, but with the foot.)
Wesker: Chikyo Chagi. Wesker lifts his foot up high, brings it 
        down with immense force, shattering the skulls of enemies 
        under his foot



RELOADING A WEAPON
------------------
Reloading the weapons is one of the oddly changed things for
the game, you can not reload the weapon normally,  when  you
want to reload it you should first  press  the  R  button so
that Leon has the weapon ready, then press the B button with
it and Leon will reload the weapon, but you will be vulnerable
during this time.

CAMERA CONTROL
--------------
Since Resident Evil 4 is a game made completely in 3D you can
view the area around you at your free will, at any  time  use 
the C stick and you will be able to view the entire area with
a controlled perspective.

SAVING YOUR GAME
----------------
The method for saving the game is thankfully not that different
from the other Resident Evil games, you  will find  typewriters
scattered through out the game and you  can  save  your game at 
them, but unlike other  resident  evil  games you do not need a
ink ribbon to save, meaning you can save as much as you want.

LEON S. KENNEDY
===============

Leon S Kennedy is the main protagonist of the game, that means the hero 
for those who dont know hard english hehe, anyway, most of  the  people
would know Leon best as the idealistic rookie cop who was  on the first
day of his job heading to Raccoon city police department when  all hell
broke loose, the rookie cop didnt loose his wits  though  and  Leon was
one of the few survivors that made it out of  the  city alive before it
was nuked on October 1st. Well his story doesnt  end  there,  there's a
lot more that happened afterwards.

After the Raccoon city incident, Leon was immediately contacted by the
government and was offered to work for them and become  one  of  their
top agents as shown in his epilogue file from Resident Evil  3, having
no other alternative Leon agreed to their request and started his long
and grueling training process in the government  facilities, there the
true gem was carved and Leon gained useful skills  which  would  have
made his life much more easier if it was the  Raccoon  city  incident.

At last Leon was trained well enough to start taking top secret orders
and high class missions, and that is what he did until he was asked to
find the missing daughter of the president of  the  United  States  of
America who was kidnapped some while ago, his mission  led  him to the
internal area's of Europe, to area's unfamiliar to him.  Leon must use
his skills and wit to complete his  mission  objective  and escape the
vicinity alive with the presidents daughter, he always keeps in contact
with his HQ via a MGS style codec which comes in handy  when  he  needs
some sort of advice. 

Leon still has nightmares about the Raccoon city incident and the death
and slaughtered civilians of the dead city, but  the  only  thing  that 
helps him breath easy is that  he  was  sure the Umbrella  corporations
nightmares were over, little did he know that he would run into something
far far worse then mindless zombies.

## The game's protagonist. This former police officer of the Raccoon 
   Police Department was responsible for the destruction of the Umbrella
   facility that appeared in Resident Evil 2 and has now become an elite
   top agent of the United States.

   This time he must go solo on a mission in Europe to discover the 
   where abouts of the kidnapped president's daughter and rescue her. ##




ASHLEY GRAHAM
=============

Ashley is the sweet love-able daughter of the President of the United
States of America, little is known about her to the player,  but  the
mission Leon is at this moment involves her rescue. Ashley was kidnapped
returning home from college by mysterious people and since then has been
missing, even though this is a high level crisis, the general public has
no idea of this incident, and the government wants to resolve this in the
shadows which is why Leon is being sent alone on the mission to find her.

Some time ago there was a tip that Ashley was spotted in a rural village
somewhere in Europe, and thats where Leon is going to  search  for  her. 
So far there has been no sort of ransom  demand  for  her disappearance.
Speaking of Ashley, being a sweet college girl she obviously has no idea
how to use weapons and she cant handle herself in a situation like this
very well either so its imperative that Leon rescue her and  bring  her 
back to the States ASAP.

## Daughter of the President of the United States. She was kidnapped by
   a mysterious group on the way home from college. Allegedly, she was
   spotter in a village in Europe. But there has been no sign of her
   ever since. ##.



LUIS SERA
=========

Not long after Leon first confronts the mad villagers, he  finds Luis 
all roped up in a hidden room inside one of the houses, unfortunately
their first meeting doesnt go that well as  Leon  is  attacked by the 
chief of the village before he gets to know much about Luis. Later he
tells Leon that he is also a cop  from  a  neighboring town and he's
here for business of his own. But whats he doing here really,  anyone
with a sane mind would  want  to  be as far from a place like this as
possible. 

Actually Luis knows far more then he lets Leon think, Luis knows all
the dirty secrets of the village and he seems to  know  the  village 
chief quiet that well, not that they're friends or anything. The truth
of the matter is that Luis knows just about everything,  right down to
the reason why the villagers are all mad and  want  to  kill every one.
Luis is actually here because he  stole  something of great value from
these people, but what could it be ?! play and find out.



INGRID HUNNIGAN
===============

Think of Ingrid as the Mei Ling of Resident Evil 4. For those who are
not familiar with who Mei Ling is, well all she does is keep in contact
with Leon over the communications line and provides  him  backup,  and
intelligence when needed. Ingrid is Leon's only contact from Europe to
his head quarters, talk to her when ever you need information on what
to do next. Or just want to chat or flirt with her hehehe.



BITORES MENDEZ (Aka Village Chief)
==================================

Yes, he is the big guy who looks a little like Barry, but let me clear
it that he has no relation to Barry what so ever. The first time Leon
runs into Mendez is when he first meets Luis, not long after  meeting
Luis, Mendez walks into the room, and when Leon tries to fight his way
out, Mendez single handedly over powers Leon and sends him smashing to
the world of unconsciousness. 

Mendez is obviously endowed with super human strength and his physical 
statue is far bigger then any of the normal villagers, in  reality  he
is the leader of the village and he is the only one of  them who knows
a little english, though he looks menacing like a  tyrant he can speak
like normal people and retains most of his human intelligence too, and
he is also the priest of  the  village,  but he  preaches some sort of 
weird cult like religion to  the  villagers, overall the villagers all
consider him the highest priority, and his will is the final step.

## Leon's search for Ashley leads him to a small village. This
   intimidating one-eyed individual is the chief of the village
   and a priest who teaches an obscure religion to his macabre
   disciples ##




JACK KRAUSER
============

Jack Krauser is one of the former agents of the same agency where Leon
now works, but Jack apparently died in a helicopter crash during one of
his missions when Leon was just new, they both  didnt  have  much  of a 
friendship so Leon doesn't know much about his character. After Leon is
in the village, among one of the shocks he gets is  the  return of Jack.
Apparently he's still alive and kicking, and seems like he's been doing
some double agent work of his own.

In terms of skills Jack is just as skilled as Leon, or maybe we could say
he's an even more skilled and dangerous  individual  since  he's been  an
agent for a much longer period of time, capable of killing a person whether
armed or dis-armed, Jack's motives in the village  are  unknown. Though it
looks like he works for Saddler, he's working for another person too, later
in the game after the "Bitch in the red dress" or  so  what he calls "her"
arrives, we get the impression that Jack is working for  the  same people
as SHE is.

Jack explains to Leon that he wanted to gain the trust of Saddler and his
crew, and HE was the one who kidnapped Ashley just to show  his  loyalty
to him, but unfortunately for Jack, Saddler doesnt like Americans one bit
so his plan didn't work that way either. What else  is  there for Jack to
do now, play the game to find out.



OSMUND SADDLER
==============

If you dont want the game spoiled for you then dont read this guy's promo
since I will spoil almost the entire plot here mehehehe (Im an evil mofo).
Saddler is the guy who is responsible for the villagers current condition
He is the guy who released the virus, or plague which turned all the people
of the villagers, who were once calm and collected, into murderous maniacs.
Eventually Saddler wants to take over the entire world using his plague
since he is the only one who has any form of control over this plague.

Saddler hates Americans over all else, which is why he doesn't like Jack
even after Jack kidnaps the president's daughter for him, Saddler doesnt
like Ashley either but she is the perfect candidate for his plans, which
is why Ashley is alive up till this point, otherwise she would have been
killed a long time ago.



RAMON SALAZAR
=============

Salazar's family have a long and un-happy history when it comes to  the
Los Plagos, you see Salazar's ancient ancestors were the people who are
responsible for sealing the Los Plagos creatures  and  stop  them  from
infecting anything else, but  after  Saddler's  reign began he used the
current generation Salazer, Ramon, to unlock the mines with the Plagos
creatures trapped in them. Ramon is nothing but a pawn in his game.

Personally Ramon is fairly interested in Ashley and experimenting on
her but he thinks that Leon is nothing but a nuisance and  wants  to 
get rid of him. Will he succeed ?



ADA WONG
========

"The bitch in the red dress" is what Jack calls her, and the title is
just about suited for her. Ada wong and Leon go way back to the times
of the Raccoon City incident, Leon met up with ada in the RPD precient
while she was searching for her missing boyfriend, Leon aided  her  in
her search until they got to the  underground  umbrella  labs  located
below Raccoon City, thats where Leon realized that Ada was just working
for the *Agency* and all her mission was to locate the G-Virus sample.

It was Ada's falling for Leon that made her lay the gun down and not
kill Leon when she had the chance but that ended up causing her life
when Annette Birkin shot her off a chasm, but Wesker apparently still
had use for her and he didnt want Ada to die, he saved  Ada  and  now
Ada is working full time with Wesker. They're best of buds..

As far as this assignment is concerned, Ada is here for reasons of
her own, you will find out more about her agenda when going through
the game, but I'll just tell you here, Ada is here because she wants
to collect samples of the plague thats responsible for the villagers
going mad, whats the reason you ask, well the reason is that Wesker
told her to get it. Why did Wesker ask her to get it, well I really
cant say that since its a really big spoiler in the story.

SHOTGUN TRICKS
--------------

The shotgun isnt just a powerful weapon, you can use it for a
few good uses other then just blind shooting, this is one of
the things every resident evil player should realize, shotguns
are the perfect stopping weapons meaning they will  stop  an
enemy in its tracks, use this in context with the  knife and
you can save yourself plenty of ammo, example,  shoot anyone
with a shotgun (works best on villagers) and  they'll either
flinch or drop, if you shoot them lower, they'll drop on the
knees. That gives you perfect opportunity to kick them or use
the knife to slash away for a few moments. Saves ammo too.

ITEM HUNTING
------------

One thing about RE4 is that there might be items hidden any
where, so when ever you come near barrels or  boxes,  slash
them open with your knife so you can  see  what lies inside,
most of the time you'll  find  handgun  ammo which comes in
really handy when your facing the normal villagers.

TIPS FOR SAVING AMMO
--------------------

There's many things you can do here or there to save  some
ammunition through out the game, though it sounds  useless
but if you follow these tricks then by the later stages of
the game you will have a pretty big stock pile of  ammo to 
go by. Example, its not always necessary to use  your guns
to shoot open pad locks or small  locks,  the  knife works
just as fine on those things, so use that too. 

FIGHTING TECHNIQUE
------------------

One more thing you guys should know, its more like a good
fighting method in its own thats why I didn't just mix  it
with the tips for saving ammo heading above, when your at
the initial stages of the game and have only a few villagers
to go through in certain area's, you should aim  at their
heads with the handgun and  shoot, they'll   occasionally
flinch and  get  disoriented, at that time run up to them
and the game will prompt you to kick them with the action
button, do that and  they'll  fall down allowing you time
and safety to slash them safely.

DISARMING TRAPS
---------------

You'll encounter traps laying around in several area's  of
the game, now rather then risk getting trapped (or  blown)
you can safely disarm the trap from a distance with a shot
from the handgun, just aim at the center of the trap (where
the touch sensitive area is) or the explosive in the middle
of the trap, and fire a single shot, and your all free.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT
------------------

One thing you should know about Resident Evil 4 is that
the merchants will always buy the weapons back at  full
price once you sell it to them, no price drops just for
the weapon being slightly used, so if you ever need  to
have some urgent money for something, dont  hesitate in
selling any weapon, you can buy  it  later  at the same
price as you sold it to him. Another money making method
is to make a herb combo and sell it to the merchant and
they'll buy it a very high price. Good money.

FISH EATER
----------

This particular tip is only for the chapter 1-2, after you
start it, a little while into it you will come to a  place
where you can see fishes, kill them and  you  can  restore 
your lost health with them. Remember this area for later.



                        HEALTH CHART
                        ------------

The health system in RE4 though seems different from the
rest of the Resident Evil games at first sight is almost
exactly the same, just the way you see Leon's health bar
is now changed and slightly more accurate then before, but
the rest is almost exactly the same. Here is a brief say
of the various health status's and various healing items
that you can use to restore health.


GREEN BAR
---------
When Leon's health bar is in green it means that Leon is 
pretty much alive and kicking, this is his top condition
and you can do just about everything at full capacity.

RED BAR
-------
When you take damage, your health bar drops slightly 
depending on the type of damage you have just taken, 
and when its at a certain stage, it will flash a little
and then turn red, that means that Leon isnt in a good
condition and he's getting pretty weak, in this mode
Leon will have a slightly different walking animation.
some action scenes like swimming back to the boat are 
slowed down because he's bleeding.

NOTE : Like the previous Resident Evil games, the various
kinds of herbs can be mixed to attain various healing 
effects, these are all the same as previous games so I
won't be elaborating on them. You all know it by now.


                        HEALING ITEMS
                        -------------

Here is a list of the healing items and that you can find 
and use during the game, their effects are also listed with 
their respective names. Read through these so you have a good 
idea of what kind of item to use when your in any trouble.

GREEN HERB
----------
This is your basic healing item from all the Resident Evil
games, doesnt restore that much health, but these are most
useful through out the game, always be sure to carry some
herbs around with you in case of emergencies.

RED HERB
--------
The red herb also makes a return in Resident Evil 4, for 
veteran players it wouldn't be a mystery why the herb is
in-effective on its own, for the newcomers let me tell 
you that the red herb can not work on its own, mix it in
with the green herb to be able to restore your health bar
to the maximum.

YELLOW HERB
-----------
The Yellow herbs were first seen in Resident Evil Gaiden, but
the use was different in that game, here the use is entirely
different from Gaiden, the yellow herbs like the red one's
are ineffective on their own but mix one with a green herb
and use it to have a small increase in your maximum health
bar, the amount of bar increased will be full meaning you
will gain a little health too. (if it isnt full already).

BLACK BASS
----------
In some parts of the game you will find fishes that you can
slaughter and use to restore Leon's health bar, the bass is
one of them, they come in small or large sizes, the small
one raises only a small amount of the health bar but still
comes in handy at times.

LARGE BLACK BASS
----------------
This is the larger counterpart of the Bass fishes, though it
restores your heath bar to the max, it also takes up quiet a
lot of space in your inventory menu. 

CHICKEN EGG
-----------
These are.. err.. Egg's to say the least, and they only are
able to restore a small amount of your health bar. Sweet.

BROWN CHICKEN EGG
-----------------
Same as the normal chicken eggs but they raise the health
bar slightly more then the ordinary one's, more use full.

GOLD CHICKEN EGG
----------------
The ultimate healing item, it only takes 1 slot in your
inventory menu, but it restores your health bar to the
max, these are must keepers for the frantic situations
in the game. Mostly like boss battles.

GREEN + RED + YELLOW HERB COMBO
-------------------------------
The ultimate herbal combination you can imagine, not only
will it restore your health bar to the max, it will also
raise your max health bar a little bit, perfect.

NOTE  : For quick navigation if you want to go to a particular 
chapter in the walkthrough just type the following code to go 
instantly.

CHAPTER ?-?

Replace the two "?" with the numbers of the chapter you seek.

START


CHAPTER 1-1
-----------

Alright, lets have the nightmare start shall we, once your finally in
control of Leon start heading forward while looking at the gorgeously
lush looking area's around you. (cough MGS-fanboys ) ahem, so carry on.

Head straight for the cottage you see in a little distance, you  will
spot some crows along the way, so whaddaya we do, croak them, err, by
that I mean shoot the crows and they die (REALLY !!) but the goodness
of the whole situation is you get some extra $$ thats cash, to  spend
so take a minute or two to improve your sniping skills. You'll need it.

When your near the cottage, immediately you should be aware that  the
entire area is eerily quiet, just like a typical horror movie, before
making your way inside the cottage however, check the area left of the
dang thing and you'll find a crate with a grenade inside (WOOH) take
the contents and head for the cottage.

Inside the cottage, head forward and you'll see a well-rendered scene
you know the one that we've all seen in the trailers, Leon will walk
up to the villager and attempt to communicate (right) but it goes sour
quickly and pretty soon Leon's defending himself from a maniac.

As soon as you get in control of Leon, shoot the villager in the knee
(you can try to pop one in the head if you feel like it, but I like my
method hehe), so shoot him in the knee and when he's down use the knife
to slash his head off (not literally), this method saves ammo too.

After your done killing this fellow, you'll notice that your suddenly
not alone in the area, there's more villagers like the  one  we just
killed all around the area, before doing anything harsh try  looking 
through the cottage and find some ammo for your gun. Done ?

Now, its about time Leon made his get away from this place, so take it
to the second floor and get near the window, see the action icon, well
do just that and Leon will jump out the window (how original) and we'll
be face to face with some more villagers.

Try to pop one in the nearest of the two villagers here, if he dodges
or something, round house his ass to the ground and then shoot his head
off with your ammo, do the same for the second one and they'll be dead
in no time. Now if you try to head back to from where you started the
game, then do it by all means, before you can reach the way your path
will be obstructed and you wont be able to head anywhere there. So its
best if we just keep moving forward for the time being.

Head down the path, passing the cottage from hell we were just in and 
in a little while you'll come to another small shack,  there's  boxes 
inside it, smash them and take the items inside and continue along the 
path. 

While heading forward, you may be attacked by another single villager
if that happens, use the previous routine (the shoot-knee-then-slash)
to take care of this one too, after that keep heading forward until
you hear an animal's moaning in the area, when you see the wolf in a
trap, take some time to free the poor thing. Awww.

But beware that this means there's more traps around the place too, so
keep your eyes open when your walking in the field from now on. You have
been warned.

Important notice now, after the wolf thing you'll start seeing traps
here and there, most of the traps can be easily disarmed by shooting 
at them with a single bullet, but there's other things you can do with 
them too, like for now when you reach the fork of the road there's a 
trap at that too, shoot a bullet in the air and a villager around the 
corner who heard the shot will come barging in and get slaughtered by 
one of his own traps. Thats always fun to see. 

PS. Traps include Bear traps and dynamite rigged traps, keep eyes open !!.

Continue forward until you see another small shack, check inside this
one for some items too. For those who are thinking that this just seems
like an easy game, be warned, for you will be crying near the ending
parts of the game, because it changes that quickly hehe.

Head forward and you'll see a wooden bridge and some villagers blocking
your path, take the villagers out and cross over the bridge (its the one
we've seen in the trailers). After the bridge, continue down the path
and you'll see one last shack. Enter it, there's a villager inside of it
kill the villager and take the ammo from inside of the shack, now exit
it and make your way to the big door at the end of the path, go through
it to proceed forward.

Right then, after passing through that door, we are one step closer to
the village of the, err, villagers, called Pueblo. Head forward and 
you will have another scene, Leon will use his nifty binoculars to see
whats going on ahead, seems like the villagers are having a cop-BBQ at
this moment, only an insane man (or a man with action replay codes) is
going to head straight into the village, so we being the sane people
are going to go around it.

Once your back in control of Leon, take the path heading to the left
side, around the village to be more exact. A little forward and you'll
run into a female villager with her back turned to Leon, dont think that
she's a good one, the female villagers are every bit as vicious as the
male counter parts, so take the opportunity and shoot the back of her
head off, but that will cause the villagers to be aware of Leon and head
your direction. Ah well..

One of the near stone structures will have an open window for Leon, so
head inside it, if any villager follows you inside then do take the time
and chop their heads off, inside this building you'll run into some 
barrels and boxes, destroy them to find valuable items inside of them.
Once your done shopping head to the main door of the structure and use
the action command to kick the door open, as soon as your back out into
the open, ignore all else and make a dash for the house on your left.
When you reach the entrance of the house, you'll have another scene.

Leon will go in and lock the door behind him in an attempt to keep the
villagers out. Bad idea Leon my man, first thing you'll notice is the
wood covered window and the people banging it from the outside, ASAP
cover the window with a nearby cabinet so you wont be back attacked in
this fight. Next, you'll see some stairs heading up to the second floor
before going up however, check behind the stairs and smash the barrel
there for some more ammo.

Head up and take the shotgun off the rack (no sir, no traps here, and
thankfully no Barry either lol). Take the shotgun, after that take the
shotgun shells from the bed and the grenade on the cabinet, once your
prepared, its time to kick some villagers ass.

Note, this is a must do part of the story, so be prepared to kick some
major villager ass, also, be prepare to die horribly if your not good
at the controls so far. 

First off, take out the handgun and start shooting the villagers heads
off, if head shots are hard then do the knee first then slash with the
knife routine to save some ammo too, but its gonna get really hectic so
the knife is really risky. Once you've disposed of some villagers some
more will arrive from the surrounding area's including one of the well
known Chainsaw dudes. He's our primary target now.

Try to find a higher place to shoot from since it'll be easier for you
to do so, now, ignore all other villagers for now and focus on the saw
dude, take out the shotgun and shoot him, headshots are a little hard
on him since he's waving his head around so much so shoot his legs and
when he's down shoot the rest of him. Use the normal handgun for the
other villagers though, higher ground should make this part of the fight
easier for Leon.

Just when you think that its hopeless (or after a said period of time)
the church bell in the distance will ring and all the villagers will 
forget about Leon for the time being, time to breath a sigh or relief.

Suddenly, the entire village will become abandoned again, when just a
few minutes ago they were all trying to slit Leon's throat, whats all
this about ?! we'll find out in the future. With all the villagers a
little busy you are free to go through each and every single house or
structure in the area to find items, there might be many items here or
there, I dont know all of them.

Once your done item hunting, make your way to the brown wooden doors
to the west of the houses, enter it and you'll come out in some kind
of a farm like place.

Now first of all, dont worry about being back attacked 'cause the people
in this area will probably be working on their farms so you can take 
them out easily, ps. They're limited here so its advised you take out 
all of the villagers in this area so you can explore much freely. Thank 
you, now head forward and you'll see a blue sign hanging on one of the 
walls, read  it and it will mention to destroy 10 medallions or something 
like that, okey im down with that.

Once your done reading the sign and killing all living things in this
area, I would highly advice you to explore the surrounding farmy area
since there's many items here that even I dont know about, in short this
area is full of items for Leon to find so take some time for item hunting.

Once your done with that head to the north end of the area and Leon will
find a heavily fortified door which he cannot open on his own, he needs
someone to help him. Just remember this place for the later parts of the
game when Ashley is with you (Dont act like you dont know who that is).

Head a little east of this area, and there's another door here, Leon can
use this door to exit to the next area so do that. Bye farm.

You'll come out in a hill covered area, this looks like a bad area since
Leon is practically vulnerable to anything, say wild boards or even some
moving boulders !!. Thats right, a little forward into the area and you
will see a scene, some villagers will push a huge piece of Rock from the
top of the hills and it will come crashing after Leon, time for our 1st
button mashing mini-game my friends.

When the game asks you start mashing the X button like hell to make Leon
sprint faster then any man alive, after that when the chase is about to
come to an end, the game will ask you to press a combination of X and B
or L or R (its annoyingly random) to dodge the boulder, do that and the
chase scene will finally be over. There's many more button mashing things
to do in the future so keep your thumbs ready at all times.

After that intense sequence you'll probably want to do a little relaxing
so be free to just walk down the rest of the path until you reach what
appears to be a cavern in the path, its actually a sewering tunnel, head
through it and when you come out to the other side Leon will spot a very
old house in the distance. Next destination ahoy.

Pass through the field and make your way to the house, caution warning as
there are what I like to call Suicidal villagers in these woods, they all
carry burning sticks of dynamite on them and want to shove them up Leon's
err you know what, the best thing to do against them is to keep shooting
at them from a distance on the legs so they keep falling down, eventually
the fuse of the dynamites will run out and the villagers will explode on
their own, make sure you collect the items after wards, thank god that im
here to give you all these small tips hehehe, and make your way to the
house safely.

At the main entrance of the house, you'll notice that the door is locked
and there's a small pad lock blocking your way, take out the knife and
slash the pad lock to hell, open the door and head inside to see what
awaits thee. 

Inside the house, you will run into a small save room, save if your in
the mood, also in the house you'll find a couple of scattered handgun
ammo boxes around, take all of the items you can find in the house and
head for the back side of the house, here push the bookcase from the
side using the action key, behind it is a cup board, do the same for it
and you'll run into your first friendly character of the game. Luis.

You will have another scene now, Leon will untie Luis's and they will
have a little conversation but unfortunately for them the church session
is just over and the villagers have arrived, and Leon's seriously not in
the right situation at the time being. You will also see the first shot
of a grumpy faced Barry Burton look alike. Leon tries to Kung Fu his ass
but unfortunately, err, gets HIS ass kicked. Who is he you ask !? You'll
have to wait till the time comes to tell you who he is.

You will see the scoring screen which tells your statistics for the 
previous chapter and you can also save your game if you feel like it.
Thats the end of the chapter 1-1.

CHAPTER 1-2
-----------        

While Leon is still out you will see a small scene of someone injecting
Leon with a mean looking injection on the back of his neck, after a few
minutes Leon will start coming to his senses, but we (the player) has
no idea where Leon is, but all we know is Luis is tied with Leon. Oh good

While your thinking that your gonna get some rest for the time being,
your dead wrong, in a few seconds a villager walks into the room with
an axe in his hands and he aint here to show it off, before the villager
chops Leon and Luis's heads off with a single slash, quickly press the
action button to see Leon's amazing escape feat. He's gotten good.

Once you both are out of the ropes, Luis will run off ahead leaving Leon
behind pondering the situation, as soon as your in control of Leon, take
any items lying around in this area and escape through the door that the
villager came in from. 

Once your outside, another small scene, a hooded figure will approach 
and wave Leon to follow him, so do that, once your outside, head around
the cottage and you'll see that man again, actually he's the first of
the few merchants you'll see in the game. Time for some shopping.

Now, you will be able to purchase new weapons, or upgrades for some of
them from this merchant fellow, he won't reveal his face to you so stop
thinking about that. You should have enough cash on Leon at this time 
to buy him a brand new Rifle and a scope for it, one more thing, you
can also sell items you do not need to this merchant for some cash too.

With the new rifle (with scope attachment) in hand make your way a few
steps back to the entrance we came after this merchant from, you'll see
what lies ahead. Its not pretty, villagers, and more villagers. So now
we have to go through them one at a time.

This is one of the things that can get really risky if you dont know
a tip to make it easier, in this case you will find a top portion of
a wall ripped, stand right in front of the wall and take out the scope
and start aiming, this is the perfect sniper spot for you. Aim at the
villagers in the distance and start shooting them. NOTE that always
make sure your going for a head-shot kill, since if you dont kill them
instantly they will ring the alarms causing a whole group of villagers
to come after you in frenzy, and BOY we dont want that.

Once you've lightened the place a little bit, take out the handgun
once more and head through the local door, you may still encounter
an odd villager here or there but at this stage in the game they
shouldn't be too hard for you to take out with your trusty handgun.
Head up the path to the east hill, once your at the top of this hill
you will see a barricade of sand bags, go over it.

There will be a single villager here, take him out then search the
box for a piece of a plate we'll need in a little while, now from 
this higher point in terrain if you can still spot some villagers
going around on the lower area's, this is the perfect place to take
them out using the rifle, once your done sniping drop down into the
main compound area and climb the roof of the shack near the entrance
and you'll find the second piece of the plate, now we can proceed.

Head to the north end of this area and you will encounter a door we
couldn't have opened before, but now with the two pieces of plate
we can proceed, a word of advice though, you dont need the rifle
that much for a long time now and it takes up tons of space in your
inventory menu, so I would ask you to go back to the merchant and
sell the rifle back to him (Dont worry about money, its completely
refundable, for those who dont know what that means, you will get
all of your money back. )

With the money in hand, proceed through the plate-ed door now.

Out this door, you wont be that far from a door leading into a mine
and thats where we're going, kick open that door and proceed inside
you'll run into some more villagers here, inside head through the
door thats on the right wall, you'll run into 3 more villagers here
take them out with the handgun (or shotgun to make life easier) then
proceed to the opening at the end of the room, use the action button
to jump out of it.

Now you will come out in an area with a few more villagers, who have
dynamite attached to them, the best bid to take them out is to get
behind the rail carriage and shoot the dynamite so they all explode
with the explosions, after they're done continue down the path, this
area is also full of floor traps which will eventually slow you down.
Like before the best method to disarm the traps is to just shoot them
with a single bullet, but if your feeling like saving some ammo you
can also trigger the traps by slashing at them with the knife from a
very close range.

Once all that is done and your thinking about exiting through the 
door at the end, check around the area for some useful items, and
be sure to check the oven there too 'cause its got some items inside
it as well. Exit through the door now. On the other side of the door
turn to Leon's left and you'll find a boarded up place, slash the
boards with the knife to remove them, behind the boards you'll find
an Elegant Mask, take it and proceed, kick open the rusty door at
the end and proceed further into the next hallway.

There's just 1 villager here, take him out quickly, and then take
the ladder leading down, once your down the ladder you'll come in
an area with some items scattered around for you to take, also in
the same area you'll find three fish, if you want to refill your
health bar, shoot them and chow down baby. If you wish you can also
save some for later times (yum yum).

Now climb up the ladder and you will come outside through a open
well. Finally, open air.

Head forward in this fairly spooky but straight path, you will come
across some more traps along the way, destroy all of them and head
forward until you come to an old looking house. Proceed further and
head inside the house.

Inside you will come across a single door with a small puzzle on it
Its fairly simple really, take note of the emblem marks on the door
and now you just have to keep rotating the moveable green part of
the door until its shape matches the patterns on the door. Once you
do that, the door opens.

Now for those who haven't figured it out yet, we're inside the house
of the big chief guy who kicked Leon's ass a little while back, in
the house take note of the portrait hanging on the wall, afterwards
search the box lying near the book case and you will find a key in
it, take it and head to the only door available.

Before anything, you will run into the big chiefy again, apparently
he doesn't like Leon going through his bed room, and after seeing
a little scene, you would have finished the second part of the
first chapter. Proceed.

CHAPTER 1-3
-----------        

Alright, for those of you who want to see a familiar sighting if
you go back through the same doorway that we just came  from now
you will see a special scene in the game where Leon will be saved
by a woman in a red dress. This might be familiar to you guys from
the trailers that we've seen for the game.

Afterwards, the area would be clear for you to start exploring and
find some useful items for Leon. You can find another green herb
on the cabinet just next to the door, and a useful brown egg in the
oven as well. Also take the grenade from the glass case before you
leave, once done save your game and exit this place at will.

Before you can exit out you will be surprised by a group of new
villagers with another chainsaw man with them, the best method to
take on them at this time is to stand in the doorway and pump any
thing that walks through the door with shotgun rounds, easy peasy.
Drop any treasures that the enemies might drop and now its time
for us to make our way back into the town.

Before you can reach into the village you will be attacked by some
more villagers but by now they shouldn't be hard enough for you to
Kill, if you have some rifle rounds left then you can climb up a
higher terrain and snipe their heads off from there, or just use
your standard handgun and slash method, either way the villagers
are not that vicious for the time being and not that hard either.

Once your done killing anyone interfering make your way to the door
with the red markings and use the newfound insignia key to open the
door. Before proceeding forward be sure to check the farm area once
more since there might be new formed chicken eggs there for you to
carry, there's even a chance of you finding a golden chicken egg.

Once your done here, go through the door with the markings and once
through you'll realize that you can actually save your game here, do
that and proceed through the other door in this room. Once in this
new room, take a look around and take aim at the lantern hanging
around. Shoot it so it falls down and you'll find a spinal inside.
But be aware of the small fireball that forms when it initially falls.

Once your done here proceed down the hole, and soon afterwards you
will find another lantern, and there's seem to be items hanging
around for you, at the end of this cave however you will run into
another merchant, we'll be coming back to this place in a little
while so save your valuables for the time being.

Out here, you'll notice that there are some birds near the entrance
of the grave yard, you can shoot them to get some extra cash if you
want, but if they run away after seeing you then you can have them
respawn by going back to the previous area's and coming back here.
Once your done with that proceed further. Whilst in the grave yard
area you can locate the rest of the blue medals as well, meaning
that if you shot more then 10 already go and talk to the nearest
merchant and he will hand you the Punisher. A really cool gun.

Proceeding at the end of the grave yard you'll notice that the doors
leading into the church are locked for now but you have an option to
get a really rare item here if your willing to do a small puzzle.

The puzzle is really simple, all you have to do is go and look for
the twin marked graves in the grave yard area, once you have found
all three twin grave markings you can use the podium here to solve
the puzzle, its really not that hard to explain and mostly random
so you should do it on your own. The prize will be a green catseye.

Well thats all fine and dandy but what about the church doors now,
for that we will have to go to a different area, so from the church
door take the path on the right side and you will come to a bridge
and some villagers on it, kill the villagers by kicking them off
the bridge, and proceed through the gaped bridge. On the other side
of it you will find a small cabin, head inside it and you will find
the file which explains where the key is and also an item or two.

After that keep proceeding forward and you'll notice that you will
enter an area where you'll find plenty of birds, if you aren't able
to kill them all in the first try then go back to the previous area
and come back here since these birds can give you a significant
amount of money, its really useful if you kill all of them here.

There's also another save room and a merchant in the surrounding
area as well, the best way to reach them would be to go through
your map and take the other path from here, once your done with
that, (I would personally like you to go and save right now) then
proceed through the door which is leading into the lake area.

One thing you should know that the path leading towards the lake
isnt an easy one either, you will encounter tons of villager and
another one of the quick boulder dodge thingies here as well, so
once your ready, proceed further.

Once you reach the swampy area's, you'll find a cabin in the left
side, enter the cabin and find any items that you can use here. Exit
and proceed further when your done. After that you will come towards
another quick boulder scene, once you've dodged the boulder properly
turn back and shoot at the sparkling thing and you will get another
spinal. Now comes a hard part.

You will come across an area with dynamite traps and a few villagers
who want nothing but killing you, if you want to be creative and save
some ammo then make the villagers run into the traps by luring them
into it. They'll follow you blindly, not only will this kill them, it
will also clear the path for Leon to proceed. How nice.

Near this area is a house on the right side, head inside it and blow
the crate to find some items or possibly a snake inside, if its the
snake then dont run away, kill it and you'll get something from it
as well, once done proceed out and when your about to end this
swampy area you'll find another small cabin on the right side, take
it and inside find the handgun ammo and any snakes that might be in
crates. After that is done proceed straight to the lake shores area
and its time to head on.

Once your finally at the lake area, head to the left and you will
find a red herb, but you'll also see a scene here of the villagers
dropping one of the two cops that came with us at the start into the
village to feed something apparently, once your done watching that
take the herb here and proceed towards the cabin thats not so far
from you. Inside the cabin save your game at the typewriter since
there is a big boss fight coming pretty soon. Also you might find a
yellow herb inside as well, take it and head out of the cabin, ready
your weapons before proceeding further. Oh wait..

There's a really cool trick here that you can get Leon eaten by the
boss even before the fight begins, if you stand near the water for a
long period of time then the boss will suddenly jump out of the water
and eat Leon, thats funny as hell and can really make the first timers
wet their pants.

Once your done goofing around, proceed into the boat and get into
the water, not long after you've entered the water, you'll see the
huge creature emerge from the water and now its time for our grand
boss fight with it.
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
BOSS FIGHT : DEL LAGO
---------------------

For the first time players I would like to apologize in advance that
you will most certainly die a few times before you finally finish
the boss fight but on the plus side it is entirely possible to end
this fight without Leon getting even a single scratch, but that as
they say, is extremely hard to do. One more thing you should know
is that your boat is at the mercy of the boss and you have no control
over it for this entire boss fight so its just better that we concen
trate on the boss ahead of us.

First lets see what kinds of attack Lago can do to damage Leon, first
off he would try to drag the entire boat along with itself into one
of the big floating pieces of wood in the middle of the lake (who the
hell put them there anyway) and if that happens Leon will immediately
lose half of his life, and not only that but you will also fall down
into the water and you will be forced to swim quickly back into the
boat, the bad thing is that if your not pressing the action key fast
enough then Del Lago will eventually come out and eat Leon whole.
Thus ending the fight instantly, and we dont want that. To prevent Lago
from ramming you into the wood, you should quickly steer your boat out
of its path when its near. But be warned as you'll have to drop the
harpoon since Leon cant swim and fight at the same time.

Second most commonly used attack is the dive and hit thing, he will
dive underwater and attempt to ram your boat causing Leon to fall
off again, and making him loose a good chunk of his health bar. Once
you see it trying to go for this attack, quickly drop down the harpoon
and turn the boat as much right or left as you can since thats the only
method of saving your skin. Like before falling down into the water 
will lead you to swim back into the boat or be eaten by Del Lago. 

The final attack that he does most often is that during the fight he
will suddenly dive deep into water and disappear, now before starting
to think that the fight is over, you should know that he comes ramming
up out of the water to hit you, the game will tell you which side of
the boat he will be coming out of so aim your harpoon in that area
and as soon as it shows its head, let one into its mouth, that will
cause Lago to miss its attack and just jump over you, this gives you
the time to shoot another harpoon in its back as well, easy as pie.

Now lets talk about the fighting technique, Leon can only fight this
battle with a harpoon in his hand, but the good thing is that you get
infinite number of harpoons to fight the boss with. When you want to
attack it, raise the harpoon by pressing the R button, you'll see
Leon aim the harpoon and a small crosshair will appear on screen with
it, now aim the crosshair directly at Lago and fire with the A button
if you made a hit then you will see blood coming out of the contact
point. The bad thing is that the harpoons can take a little time to
"reload" so you dont want to miss that often.

The fight will take no more then fifteen or so harpoons before the 
boss finally dies, it is entirely possible to finish this without
taking any damage from the boss at all, in case of taking damages
use small healing items like eggs or green herbs that you have in
your inventory. Soon the boss fight will be over, Lago will be dead
and..uh.. Leon's foot is caught in something as well.. uh oh.

Damn those capcom people for putting this new instant button thing
in this game, okey dont panic and quickly press the button that
comes on screen repeatedly and Leon will eventually cut the rope
tied to his feet and this chapter is done for.

Watch the scenes and proceed towards the new chapter.

CHAPTER 2-1
-----------

When the scenes are over and your back in the world of thes sane,
get up and check around the cabin that your inside at this time,
there's some items here that you can take, so take all that you
can and proceed out of the cabin. Now you will notice that the
game has gone into night time and thats how its gonna remain for
a long long while.

Outside the cabin you'll notice that your boat isnt that far from
you, if you wish you can take the boat back to the main land area
but at this time its totally pointless since we still haven't done
what we came here to do originally, you can however go back for
trading with a merchant but thats your choice alone.

Now, proceed forward into the new area and soon afterwards you will
run into a new enemy to the game, seemingly they look like your
normal villager enemies but the distinct thing is the Los Plagas
you can see on their heads, and that is this kind of enemies weak
point, just aim at the Plagas with any gun and make sure you take
it out, if you decapitate the villager or some times totally 
randomly you will see the Plagas coming out of the villagers head
itself, and then you'll have to deal with it separately. The best
method to take on them is by using a shotgun since the scatter can
hit them as well. But a niftier method is using a flash grenade
which can kill these instantly.

Proceed further down the path and jump over the ledges in front of
you, past them continue further till you reach the rope, take it
downwards. First thing here, you'll notice a single villager with
throwing axes and he's aiming for you, if you happen to have some
rifle ammo then that would be the best thing to take this guy out
with. After that, check the nearby tower to hopefully find some
items inside it. Once that is done we proceed further.

Now you have to shoot down the three craters and create yourself
a bridge which you can use to cross over the stream of water and
go to the other side where the lever is that controls the flow of
water, to start off shoot the crater to make it fall down into
the water and once you reach the middle section of this area, take
the tower to the right up and when your up there shoot one round
into the sparkly thing, you just found the Amber ring.

Okey now fire at the other crates to create a bridge towards the
other side now, once your over there climb up the tower and shut
down the lever causing the flow of water to stop and giving you
a path to proceed further now, you'll see the cave entrance in
the waterfall now and thats our destination.

But before you can go there you will be attacked by some more
villagers and its a little annoying, the best method to thin down 
this attack is to jump over the crates back towards the area where 
the tower with the lever is, once your on the other side you can 
easily take out the villagers when they're crossing over the 
craters, but with this method they'll probably fall into the water 
with their money, so its best if you let them make the final leap 
onto the land where you are, then you can take them out one at a 
time just as easily while retaining all the cash that was to be lost.

Once this attack has been thinned out, make your way towards the
cave entrance in the waterfall, and enter it. Inside you will
find the item that we came to this side to seek, the Round Insignia.
Take it, and have a little conversation with Ingrid, after that is
done take the door that pretty near you and you will come out in
the docks area. With the boat and all.

Not that I have to tell you again, take the boat and its time to
head back to the main land, more specifically back to the church.
But be sure to make a pitstop on the way towards the merchant and
more importantly the save room since another big boss fight is
about to take place in a little while. Once your at the merchant's
place, trade in all the valuable items that we found on our trip
and save your game at the typewriter near the area. Be ready now
and proceed towards the direction of the church.

On your way, when you reach the area where we shot all those damn
crows, you'll see a scene, the villagers apparently want to set a
trap for Leon, but unlucky for them it back fires horribly, and
the EL GIGANTE kills all the villagers in a matter of seconds, you
might remember this scene from the trailers of the game as well, 
eventually after killing all the other villagers gigante will
notice Leon and now its his time to die. Or is it.
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
BOSS FIGHT : EL GIGANTE
-----------------------

El gigante, is a huge fricking mass of meat to say the least and
it looks remarkably like the big troll from the Lord of the Rings
movies if you have seen any of them, but unfortunately Gandalf
won't be coming here to help you beat him so Leon will have to do
the fight on his own. One thing I would like to ask you before
the fight even begins is to make sure you have the stock for the
TMP if it is available at this point in time and that your TMP
and shotgun are both fully loaded and ready for some mayhem.

One thing I would most certainly like to point out is that the
fight will mostly involve you trying to dodge one of his quick
attacks or mostly running around the area we're in just waiting
for the right time to attack him, so button pressing and quick
turning should be what your thinking about right now. The boss
has many different kind of devastating attacks. Now the common
thing it will do is punch Leon into the ground.

Besides that it can Kick Leon while he's on the ground getting
up from that punch as well which takes a lot of health out
instantly, the best and only method to prevent this is to just
not get close to the boss at all, besides that its not wise to
stand close to it and fire shotguns or rifles since the time it
takes for Leon to change the round will be enough Gigante needs
to stomp a mud hole into Leons ass. But close combat is much
safer with smaller fire arms as its easier to just fire a few
rounds then quick turn and get the hell outta there.

One more thing it does most often when your near it is grab Leon
and try to choke the life out of his body, or squeeze his body
completely, when this happens the only thing you can do is to
quickly press the knife slashing button so Leon can free himself
from the grasp of El Gigante (this is seen in trailers too).
Note that once you drop down its wise to quickly run for cover
since the Giant recovers quickly and you'll be standing right
next to it after falling down.

Many of the other attacks of El Gigante need Leon to be quick
at dodging, like often times he will pick up a piece of rock and
throw it in Leon's direction, this is really easy to dodge as you
only need to be out of the rock's way which can easily be done, 
secondly it will often pick up a tree and try to smash that into
Leon, that can be only dodged by pressing the L and R buttons at
the same time when the game asks you to (the dodge meneuver), but
when Gigante has the tree with it, it slows down a whole lot giving
you prime chance to shoot its head with some powerful weaponry, but
be ready to drop the weapon and run for your life when its close.

The final attack involves El Gigante doing a simple charging attack
on Leon, this can also be dodged only by pressing the L and R keys
when the game asks you to press them or risk getting slaughtered.

Now lets get down to the actual killing method for the boss, the
only thing you can do to kill it is keep shooting it with any
weapon that you have until it bends over in pain and reveals the
Los Plagas on its back, before that, the best method of weakening
the boss is the quick weaponry since there will be hell to pay if
your caught while firing with a shotgun or rifle, the TMP works
best here, since you can shoot a few rounds at the giant's head
and run back as quickly as you can. Thats the trick you should use.

One shocking thing that happens during the fight is that the wolf
that we helped WAAYYYY at the start of the game will come to help
Leon out, the wolf doesn't really do much but it distracts the giant
for a little while allowing you to shoot it without the risk of 
being hit back. Eventually you would have shot the giant enough and
now the Plagas is revealed on its back, the most efficient method of
taking it out is to climb gigante's back when he's bent over (The
game will tell you the buttons) and slash away with the knife when
you have the chance or use a powerful weapon like the shotgun to
deal damage to the Plagas. You can use stuff like flash grenades to
make your life a little easier during this battle as well.

You'll have to repeat this process a couple of times before the
boss fight is finally over and you will be rewarded with 15,000
in cash. Woo Hooo...

---------

One thing I didnt' mention in the boss fight section is that you
will also be able to take new items from inside the houses which
might be destroyed during the fight by Gigante, the best time to
do that however is when ever it is distracted by the wolf. Gives
you enough time to get in and take the items. Heal occasionally.

Once the boss fight is done I would personally like you to go
back to where the typewriter was and save your game immediately,
also you might want to check in with the merchant if your feeling
like it. Once all that is done its time to go see the church.

Proceed back through the path we took from here originally, go
over the bridge and all, but before you reach the church you
will be attacked by another new enemy, the Comillos. These are
actually just wolves that have been turned mutant by Los Plagas.
Get rid of them with a weapon like the shotgun and procee to the
church, check the cabin on the way again since ammo is available
in it again, also shoot the birds nest near the graveyard area
to find another Spinel. Proceed towards the church entrance now.

Once inside the church, your free to explore the house of god
if you feel, you can find several items, like some money near
the central alter, and a grenade on the barrel on the right.

Once you've taken all this, climb up to the ladder up the 2nd
floor and when ready, jump on the chandelier. Once it starts
to swing, make sure you dont jump before it actually reaches
the top of its swing on the other side, you'll land near a small
puzzle console. This is actually a panel with 3 different colors
on it, you have to use the panel to rotate the colors until the
pattern matches the one in the middle part of the console. An
easier method of solving this puzzle is by doing this.

Rotate the red one twice
Rotate the green one three times
Rotate the blue one once.

That will unlock the second floor doors and give you the access
towards the next chapter. Head towards the door that we just 
unlocked with that stupid puzzle, inside you will finally get
to meet the president's hot daughter. Ashley Graham. Ta-Daa.

From here take Ashley back to the first floor and end of this part.

CHAPTER 2-2
===========

Before anything, I would just like to tell you some of Ashley's 
controls that you'll need to keep in mind.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief list of controls that Leon can command Ashley with
or make Ashley stay and what not. 

Before anything, I should tell you Ashley's death cases, Ashley can
die with the methods that Leon can, meaning you can shoot her either
yourself, a single bullet and she's dead. She can also be attacked by
the monsters on screen, or if you leave her in the same place for a
little while and the villagers come and take her away, its game over.
( Similar to ICO) if you want to prevent the villagers from taking
her away, shoot the villager so that he/she drops Ashley. 

Ashley has a similar life bar as Leon's and that helps you keep a
quick eye on Ashley's health bar, besides that you will see icon's
displaying what kind of action Ashley is taking at this time.
Since I suck at ASCII.... I will just make text versions of them.

ICON OF TWO PEOPLE : This means simply that Ashley is doing nothing
                     else but following Leon around.

ICON OF ONE PERSON : This means that Ashley is standing alone and
                     waiting for Leon.

ICON WITH LINE IN MIDDLE : This means that Ashley is being attacked
                           and you gotta go help her

EXCLAMATION MARK : This means that Ashley's being taken away by a
                   villager and you need to quickly free her.

Besides that Leon can also often use Ashley's help to reach previously
un-reachable area's, when you get to one you'll get the respective icon.
------------------------------------------------------------------


Like in all video games to date, now that we have our partner or the 
person that we were looking for, now our quest will be 10 times more 
harder then ever before, ganodo's coming from left and right and they 
just dont want anything more then to see  Leon's head off of his 
shoulder, ps. thats how the chainsaw people kill you hehehee.

Anyway, I should tell you that this next chapter is not a really big 
one but a dangerous one to say the least. Now the good thing about 
Ashley is that you have almost complete control over her actions as 
well, you can make her stop anywhere and go on a little ahead to fight 
any oncoming baddies yourself, and she'll stay there like a good girl. 
Use the X button to make Ashley stop where ever she is. Remember that.

You will be in combat from the moment you get out of the shed, so a 
good tactic is to make Ashley wait by the doors of the church and 
you enter the grave yard area where about 7 or so villagers are 
waiting for you. But you have a sort of an advantage in this battle, 
see that explosive barrel on the cart near the graveyard doors, you 
should use that to your advantage and you can easily take out 
a couple of the villagers using that barrel. Once the barrel's gone 
and so are some of the villagers, take out the weaker weapons and 
take care of the rest of the villagers. Once the area is clean, go 
and get Ashley to follow you.

Now that we have Ashley with us, Leon's mission is practically complete 
so all we have to do is get to the extraction spot, so make your way 
back to the cavey area where we got into this part of the game from 
originally, so when you head back through the tunnel you'll see that 
the merchant who was there is still standing there, its a good idea 
to visit him and cash out the punisher for the blue medallions if 
you haven't done that already. You'll also be able to purchase a new 
gun called the Red 9 (Cough, star wars reference) , its almost like 
your normal handgun but a slightly slower rate of fire and lower 
reloading time makes it nearly useless, since your normal handgun 
is good.

Once your done shopping, go through the tunnely area, save your game 
at the typewriter in here and its time to pay another visit to our 
good old friendly village. Now this part is a little tricky, since 
the village is also filled with more new villagers, including some 
of the los plagas villagers as well, before fighting or doing anything 
here head immediately to the tower and make sure Ashley stays there, 
then drop back down and start taking out the villagers one at a 
time, its best that you use something else besides the shotgun since 
we're going to need the shotgun shells in a little while, kill the 
villagers with super caution and be very aware of the los plagas 
villagers, you know how to take them out dont you. 

Once the ruckus is done for, before you go and call Ashley, go through 
the area since you'll find newly stored ammo and items here for the 
taking, once your done with your shopping go and call Ashley down from 
the tower and catch her before she falls butt first on the ground (this 
is also in one of the trailers). Once your done with this area its time 
to head for the farm area. So head over there.

Right near where you enter the farm area from is a dumpster, now if you 
want to keep Ashley safe then its best that you ask her to hide in 
there, (and even more surprisingly she agree's without any hesitation, 
wow ) once Ashley is hiding, its back to the usual mischives, take out 
all the villagers that have spawned in this area, it shouldn't be a 
problem from now on for you. Keep an eye out for any newly layed traps 
in this area as well, since there WILL be traps. Once the area is 
cleared, go get Ashley and you both head toward the gate on the north 
eastern way, there's a locked gate here. If you remember from the very 
start of the game we couldn't open this gate since Leon was unable to 
do it on his own, but Ashley here can help Leon in opening the gate and 
thats exactly what happens. Go through the gate.

And surprisingly thats the end of this small yet really fun chapter. 
Lets see what happens next.

CHAPTER 2-3
===========

Alright now, once you enter this area you will have another series of 
events which will end up with Leon Ashley and Luis (what the hell..) 
to be barricaded inside a lone house and you will be attacked by the 
mad villagers from all sides, its game time (that was cheap lol).

Anyway, the best thing about having Luis at this time is that he is 
immortal for the time being and no matter how much the villagers hurt 
him, he's never gonna die (we all know it will happen eventually 
though mwahah, the bastard). So the best and probably the smartest 
method of going through this big fight is that you should stand in 
one corner while Luis does most of the damage and takes most of the 
damage as well. But still since your inside a barricaded house and 
no way out, you can easily get trapped by villagers as well, and 
that means you have to stay on your toes and watch out for anything 
that comes towards you. (besides Ashley of course XD ).

Now lets get down to the actual fighting part, for the starting part 
the villagers be attacking you while your on the first floor of the 
house, you can get yourself some time and room by pushing any available 
cabinets in front of any windows so the ganodo's cant come in that 
easily, another easy strategy to get through this area is to stand 
in the middle of the stairs and equip the shotgun, anything that 
comes your way should be plastered with shotgun shells, thats why 
I was asking you to save all those shotgun shells, Luis will stay 
on the first floor no matter what, the good thing about Luis is 
that no matter if he kills the villagers, they'll still drop the 
money for you to take. So head down and collect money time to time 
but beware not to let any villagers up or not to get killed by any 
villager as well.

A little while later you will be called by Luis and will now have to 
fight more villagers on the second floor, the thing is that it gets 
only harder on the second floor, the villagers will not only come up 
the stairs but there's a couple of windows in this area too and the 
villagers will use ladders to climb up the windows to surprise you as 
well, Luis isnt that helpful in this part but he'll continue to do his 
job from where he's fighting at. You can also see the cabinet where 
Ashley is hiding in. One thing you should constantly do is kick the 
ladders down, which can be done very easily and helps too. The shotgun 
is the only weapon I would ask you to use during this whole assault. 
The ladders will constantly be re-placed and the villagers will continue 
to come up that way so dont think your home free after throwing one 
ladder down. If Luis is in trouble make sure you save him too (not like 
he needs it anyway). 

Just when it looks like all hope is lost, you'll hear the church bells 
and as it happened at the start of the game, the villagers will leave 
anything they're doing (like killing) and go to the church, wow these 
people aren't so bad afterall, they're just uber religious lol. But as 
the villagers start go leave, Luis will leave as well. Now its time for 
us to proceed as well.

Now that the villagers are all gone, its time for us to do a little 
exploring of our own, quickly run up and down the house to catch any 
treasures dropped by the villagers before they disappear for good, 
includes ammo too. Besides that outside the house you'll find TMP 
ammo on a bunch of logs and behind the house you'll find some 
handgun ammo, its all a keeper and we'll need all of these in the 
time being. Now inside the house there was a type writer if I recall 
correctly with a memo next to it, go and read that memo, you will be 
told that you need to choose one of the routes now. Left route leads 
to a fight with a lot of villagers at the same time, and the right 
route leads to a fight with another El Gigante, they're both hard but 
Gigante is much harder then the villagers, also gives out more money 
too, so thats a risk if your willing to take it. At the end both the 
places will ultimately lead you to the same area, so its more like a
"how do you wanna die" situation if you ask me.

This is the infamous Two Routes that you must have heard about from 
your friends or anyone on any local game boards.

Once you've done one of the paths, skip forward to AFTERWARDS.
                                                                         
                                                                         
                                                                         
                                                                         
THE EL GITANTE PATH
-------------------

Obviously this is the path that leads towards El Gigante, so if you want 
to take this path, if you want to risk a harder fight but higher reward, 
take the right path out of the area, after you go a little  forward  in 
this new area the gigante will come out and the fight  will begin. Note 
that Ashley will point a boulder which is placed on  top of the giant's 
head, if you manage to shoot the boulder's holders it will come plunging 
down onto EL Gigante but it won't kill him, rather  it  will give you a 
chance to escape this area unscratched since he will be stunned for the 
time being. This is a quick and efficient  method  out of this area but 
thats not what we came here for, we came here  for  the  money. So lets 
get on with the fighting part.

Ashley's the one who's gonna be the damsel in distress during this fight 
since Gigante likes to pick her occasionally and  smash  her  with  the 
ground, if that ever happens then you will quickly have to shoot the giant 
in its hand so that it drops Ashley, and heal her  whenever you have the 
chance since she'll be taking the most damage during this fight. When it 
comes to the actual fighting part this fight will be much more easier if 
you have an upgraded TMP (stock) and a clip which can hold up to a hundred 
bullets at the same time. To start the fight get a lot of room between you 
and the giant and then start to shoot the  giant  non stop, after taking 
something like 60 bullets the giant will stagger to its knees and you will 
see the Los plagos on its back, now  its  time to do the same thing again, 
climb its back and start slashing at it like a mad bastard. But immediately 
reload once you fall back down.  Watch out for his normal attacks as well, 
this gigante does all the same attacks of the previous giant and some more.

Like before you will need to do this thing 2 or 3 times before gigante 
actually falls down and die, when that happens you'll get something 
like 15000 peseta's again. Thats what im talking about. Also, now that 
the area is cleared you can safely check the huts in the surrounding 
area for a lot more ammo and some more valuable items, there's also 
a purple gem in the area for the taking, look at the flashing thing 
above the huts and shoot it with any gun to make it fall down.
                                                                         
                                                                         
THE GANODO PATH
---------------

Once you enter this ganodo path you will have a little scene and after
that you will immediately be assaulted by a group of villagers, as you
regain control of Leon immediately shoot the cart, or the barrel on it
and it will dispose or some of the nearby villagers and make your life
easier for starting this area. After that is done, take a look at the
dumpster near your surroundings and command Ashley to stay in there
for the time being. She'll be safe for now. Once Ashley is safely 
tucked inside, you should go and take out the ganodo threat in the
immediate area. Keep heading forward around the pit area and you will
find a ladder which will be leading down into a mining cart. Head down.

Down the ladder you will find some shotgun ammo which can come in real
handy for the upcoming area. Once your done with this and are ready
for some real kick ass fighting, head for the main pit area and go to
the eastern side of the pit and you'll find a place to  jump down into
the pit and also a ladder standing there, before you think about going
down kick the ladder down first, that will help you in the coming fight.
Now jump down the pit and that'll attract even more villagers.

As soon as the villagers start appearing, keep your eye on the two 
female chainsaw wielders, and its time for us to make a break for
higher ground since fighting in this lower area is highly dangerous
for Leon. So take the ladder going up on the western side and you
will be at an advantage, you will be able to take out most of the
villagers one at a time as they come up, use the shotgun shells on
the chainsaw villagers but you are good with the TMP or the handgun
with the normal villagers. Once the mess is cleared one of the
chainsaw person will drop a Ruby and the other will drop a Camp Key.

By now your probably thinking about Ashley's safety, well she's as
safe as she can be in the entire game so lets press a little  more
forward for the time being, so head down into the pit and us e the
camp key to open the door leading further into the pit.  A  little
further you will run into some more villagers, you can try to take
out them from inside the pit but its best if you  immediately back
track towards the exit of the pit and take  one  of the ladders up, 
then wait for the villagers to come one by  one. Even though there
are more ladders here the vllagers will  only come towards the one
that you are standing next to, so that  would be your advantage in
this fight. Kick the ladder  down  and  start shooting from higher
ground onto the groups of villagers.  Even  if the villagers reset
the ladder, its not a hard thing to knock the ladder down again.

FINALLY, when the entire area has been cleared of villagers, its
time to go and get Ashley, once Ashley is by your side, head back
down and go through the exit door of this area. This double route
thing is done now. Over.
                                                                         
                                                                         
                                                                         
AFTERWARDS
----------

Okey now fortunately we have made it past both the dangerous paths
and its time for us to press forward, no matter which path you had
back there you will come out in a new area with a merchant standing
there greeting you, if you want to, you can pay a visit to the good
people, and also there is a type writer and another new document in
the small house nearby, save your game at once since we just came
through hell and there's more coming soon.

Before pressing forward, take the box of handgun ammo next to the
house with the type writer, once your done here continue forward
and take note of the door thats locked here, we'll get an item to
open it in a little while. Head a little more forward and you will 
come to a place where you will have to take a gondola down to the 
other end of the platform, but you didnt think it was just gonna 
be that easy did you.

During your ride you will be attacked by all places, you will have
more villagers coming from gondola's of their own on the right side
and just some lonely villagers standing on the left side who find
it amusing to jump on your gondola and try to make it fall down.
You should know first that if your gondola falls over then its
immediately game over for you my friend.

Anyway, the best method to deal with this part is the TMP since all
villagers in this area take just one bullet to die, if you have a
TMP and tons of ammo for it you will be safe for most of the ride
since all you have to do is fire like hell and make sure atleast
one of your bullets hit the mark. Otherwise its going to be an
extremely rough ride for you. An alternate but risky method is to
use the rifle for most of the ride and try to be a perfect aim.
But thats just hard to stick with the TMP method.

When your finally on the other end of the awesome ride, thank god
for ending it and continue forward, enter the small control room
and check the lockers for some valuable items or ammo we can use
after that head back out and take the stairs leading downwards, it
is a good idea if you ask Ashley to stay at the top of the stairs
for the time being since there won't be anything coming there. Once
that's done head down the stairs and take the path forward into the
cave like area. You will run into some more villagers here but they
shouldn't be a problem for you after all that we're gone through.

Anyway, fight and kill all the villagers that you come across and
make your way to the end of the path and you will find an item box
with a yellow catseye inside, this is a valuable item, now on a
side note if you happen to have some previously stored valuable
items like the elegant dress and the green catseye and the purple
gem, then you can combine all the gems with the dress and the end
result will be an item that will give you way more money then each
of them sold separately. Anyway, once your done with this area head
back to the stairs where we asked Ashley to stay.

Go and grab Ashley, then check the area under the stairs and you
will find another merchant here, its a good time to stock up on
item since we're about to enter another boss fight in a very little
time, also if you did the dress thing I told you about, you can
sell it now for a good amount of cash. Once your done with the
merchant, save at the typewriter located near him and its time to
proceed further.

Before proceeding however check the area for some ammo too, once
your done with that head in the direction opposite of the one we
took before and head down this path. Reload your weapons before 
any suspicious scene start or its too late for that already lol.

During the scene you should keep your fingers on the game pad
as the game will suddenly ask you to dodge one of the chief's
wild blows during the scene, once that is done its time for the
actual boss fight to begin.
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
BOSS FIGHT : BITORES MENDEZ
---------------------------

Now before anything I would like to say that if you failed to dodge 
the initial blow from the chief  then  its  game  over  for  you 
automatically but if you survived that thing then the boss fight 
will begin now, Bitores will change  into a big tyrant'ish slow 
moving but hard hitting thing, only that it doesnt look that much 
like a tyrant anymore. Once your in control you should first take 
out the handgun since thats what we're  going to  use  during the 
first form of this boss fight since its slow and the  easier part 
of this fight. Looking around the house  you'll  note  that there 
are 2 ladders going up to the second floor, one is on the southern 
side of the area and one is on the northern side of the area, if 
you wish to, you can climb up the southern ladder first and take 
any items that are on the second floor and jump to the first floor 
again from the other side, keep your eye out for any possible 
ammunition laying around the surrounding area.

Now the first form of the boss isnt that hard to dodge either since
most of its attacks are very slow and require you to be next to it
but since its a slow moving boss you will have no trouble running
away from it. You can circle around it and pop a few into his ass
while he's turning to get you, or if your on the second floor of
the place then he'll extend his arm and try to smack you down from
there, a little dangerous but you can run fast enough to dodge his
attacks up there too. Its easier to defeat the first form if you
go up the southern ladder and wait for it to come near you then
run to the northern end then shoot a couple of bullets into it before 
it reaches your area, and repeat the process all over again. Like I 
said before, the first form isnt that hard and you dont need to use 
any thing else but your handgun for this one.

Okey now its the second part of this fight thats a little more
harder then the first one (duh). After you deal enough damage to
the boss it will rip half of its torso apart and you will have
to fight the upper half of Mendez hopping around on his arms.
Right, sounds easy but im afraid its harder then the first form
since he hops around faster this time you won't have as much time
as before to fire a couple of shots into him, for this end of the
fight if you happen to have plenty of TMP ammo or shotgun shells
either will work fine, the TMP will deal quick but small damage
and the shotgun is slow but good amount of damage.

As soon as he starts hopping around, its much easier to finish
this boss fight from the first floor this time around, unlike
before the boss has no long range attacks so it has to be very
close to you in order to attack you, so the perfect strategy for
this fight is to run in opposite directions of the house, like
run to the north end of the house and quick turn around, fire
a couple of shots into the boss and when he hops uncomfortably
close to you, run to the other end of the house, quick turn and
shoot some more. Repeat this process and eventually Mendez will
die out, and he leaves a key item behind and about 30 k peseta's.

---------

As soon as the boss fight is over, take the fallen gold and the
item that the boss dropped, its the false eye, we can now go to
a previously un searched area.

Before exiting the house however, check around for any more
items or ammo that we might have missed before, once you've
searched the entire area, exit and reunite with Ashley.

Make your way back to the place where the merchant was standing
and save your game at the local typewriter if your feeling like
it, once your done, take the stairs back up and take the gondola
back to other end of the area, luckily you won't have to do the
fight thing all over again. Once your on the other end of the
ride, head forward and check the door again, that was locked and
we couldn't open it before. Now we can open it using the false
eye that our good friend Mendez dropped. So use it and enter.

Once through the door you will come out in a narrow pathway, 
continue down this path and you will run  into  three  more 
ganodos so take them out quickly,  a  little forward you'll 
see something coming towards you,  its a friggin truck. Quickly 
take out the rifle and take aim at the  driver and pop one into 
his head, or take out any fast gun and aim at the engine of the 
truck and fire at it until it goes  ablaze, if you manage to do 
either, the truck will swerve and come to a halt, take this time 
to loot the initial ganodo's that you killed and make a dash for 
the other end since there will be some more ganodo's coming out 
of the back of the truck in a few seconds.

Eventually you will come close to a castle and you will see a 
little scene and that will be the end of this chapter of the game.

CHAPTER 3-1
===========

Right off the bat you will see the merchant in a hut and that should
be indication enough that this next coming part of the game isnt an
easy one, so its time for us to get serious as well. Before chatting
with the merchant check the surrounding area's for some more crates
that you can smash for items inside, one of them has a snake inside
it so be mindful of that, also around the area you'll find a chest
which has 5 grand peseta's inside it. Take all of these items and
head to the merchant and start talking.

The merchant has many new toys for you to play with and since your
well endowed in peseta's after fighting the mendez guy, you can
take a risk or two here too if you wish, but if you want my opinion
sell the rifle and purchase the semi auto rifle in place of it, also
sell the shotgun and buy the riot gun in place for that and sell your
handgun and purchase the black tail in place of that, thats all the
weapon trading we're gonna be doing for now. If you want to, you can
also buy an atache case for your stuff from this guy too, and also
you can purchase a treasure map for the castle

Once your done with this area its time to move further on, so take
the door leading into the big spooky castle while wondering why is
the castle area always supposed to be spooky. Why can't there be a
fun type castle area.

One thing you should know about the castle area before pressing on
is that there are no villagers in here, instead you will come face
to face with the cult members of the church, they are more harder
to kill then villagers and often they will be packing impressive
weaponry which can deal lethal damage in seconds, so be prepared.

Move a little forward and you will have a little scene, once your
in control of Leon once again tell Ashley to stay where she is at
that time and move a little forward attracting the monks. You can
take them out with the handgun while they're coming down or use
the sniper rifle to take them out from a distance. For the coming
area make sure first that Ashley is still standing where you left
her and not following you since she can easily get killed here.

Move a little forward and you'll notice catapult fire coming down
from the heavens, no actually its some monks who want to kill you.
Its not that hard to dodge the fires as you can easily run past
them to avoid the blast, head forward and quickly climb the spiral
staircase in front of you. If you want to fancy yourself another
spinel check the fountain where the first fire hit. Once you got
it, start dashing to where the original monks were and head into
one of the ro
