Resident Evil 4 Cheats (PlayStation 2)

The quickest way to complete the puzzle when playing as Ashley in Chapter 3-4 is as
follows. The layout of the puzzle's squares is referred as:



1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9



Press X on the following in this order: 4, 7, 8, 9, 6, 3, 1, 7, 9.

Normally, if you jump down a ladder and try to look up Ashley's skirt, she will grab it
and call you a pervert. However, there is a location where she does not do this. In
Chapter 2-3, go to the lifts, after going down one of the paths. Climb onto one and go all
the way down to the other side, shooting the Gonadas coming up on other lifts and the ones
on the platforms. Once you get all the way down, go down the stairs nearby. Go to the cave
that is here that has window-like holes. Be careful, as there are two dynamite wielding
Gonadas at the entrance. Kill them then jump over the wall and go up the ladder. Kill the
Gonada. Jump down, but leave Ashely up there. Try looking up her skirt with a sniper. She
will not grab her skirt and call you a pervert because she is too high up. Note:
There are more ladders where you can do this. Find one with a large drop and it should
work. For example, if you have already gotten past Chapter 2-3, you can do this trick on
the ladder you go down just after defeat Saddler in the final chapter.

After you defeat Ramon Salazar, walk further and there will be an intermission sequence
where Ada will ask Leon if he needs a ride, and he accepts. When Ada brings him to the
island, she will hook a rope onto the top of a cliff and say" I have some business to take
care of". While she is saying that, look at her skirt (especially when she goes to jump
up). You can also see more of Ashley than usual when you jump out the window of the church
and when you get on the jet ski.

The main monsters to look out for are the two chainsaw ladies on stage 1. Once you kill
them, they keep coming back. On stage 2 and 3 be careful of the guys with the chain guns.
On stage 4, there is a super chainsaw man. He is bigger than the normal one and has a twin
bladed saw. He is almost impossible to stop. He does not climb ladders. He jumps to where
he needs to be. He will run at you, swinging the saw. Do not run past him. Turn and jump
down if you can, or climb something quickly. If you really want to get past him, try using
Jack Krauser's transformation, and aim right at him. If you miss, you are dead.
Additionally, Krauser's transformation will kill anyone in one hit as long as you are
close enough. Also Flash Bang, Kick are very good for crowds with Krauser. These two
things will make Krauser the easiest to get five stars with.

Instead of firing at Los Illuminados when there parasite is exposed, use a flash grenade
to destroy the parasite instead of using your weapon.

Get a five star rank with all mercenaries in the Mercenaries mini-game to unlock the
HandCannon weapon. To get unlimited ammunition for it, fully upgrade all of the
HandCannon's options. Alternately, successfully complete the game two times. The
HandCannon will be available as soon as you start the game again for 0 Pesetas. It is a
very powerful magnum, and will have unlimited ammunition. When you go to upgrade it in the
merchant window, in the "HandCannon" update screen there is an option labeled "Exclusive".
When chosen, the gun is upgraded with power identical to the Chicago Typewriter.

Note: This trick involves the infinite rocket launcher (successfully complete the
game; costs 1 million Pesetas). When you fight Saddler and Ada throws you the rocket
launcher (special), take it, but do not use it. When you can get a clear shot to his main
eye, use the regular unlimited launcher. Saddler will be killed and the rocket launcher
(special) will be yours to keep. When you start a new game, you can sell it to the
merchant.

The best way to complete the game in Professional mode is to first complete the Separate
Ways mini-game. You will unlock Ashley's knight costume and Leon's gangster costume.
Selecting Ashley's knight costume makes Professional mode a lot easier. Ashley cannot be
injured or carried away. Use her for bait when needed. At least half the enemies will go
directly for her, giving you time to kill them and keep your distance from a crowd. This
also works well on El Gigante.

Note: This trick requires the basic sniper rifle fully upgraded with the
Exclusive Upgrade. Make a note of the dodge actions at various times during this battle.
Start off by running to the side of the platform on the top. Quickly shoot the tentacle in
front of you, making sure that you dodge if needed. With the upgraded sniper rifle, it
will only take one shot for the tentacle to retract. Ignore Salazar's eye and other
tentacles. Only focus on the tentacle closest to you. After some point, Salazar himself
will emerge from the upper back of the monster. Use your sniper to pick him off. After you
get about two shots in, he will go back into hiding. By now that tentacle should have
returned. Shoot it once to take care of it for awhile. Repeat the process of shooting
Salazar and the tentacle, and the battle will cause Leon to take little damage. If you run
out of ammunition for the sniper rifle, either drop down and look for more in the barrels
(but be prepared to fight the spider-like parasites or run pass them), or use your
Punisher to snipe Salazar and just dodge the tentacle.

When you are in the castle, you may find a rocket launcher in the room where you must
make a bridge to get to the other side. Take the rocket launcher but do not use it. Wait
for your fight with Salazar to use it to end Chapter 4 easily. Immediately before the Boss
battle with Salazar, take the TMP, the rocket launcher, some herbs, and a shotgun (Striker
recommended, but the Riot Gun works). When you enter the room, watch Salazar fuse with the
monster, then get to work. Use the shotgun or TMP on the tentacle to your left until it
goes away. Grab the item that is at the end, then fire with the TMP until Salazar appears.
Then, equip that rocket launcher and fire for a one hit kill. Get the 30,000 or 50,000
Peseta that he drops. This will pay for the rocket you used, and you will save health for
the next chapter. Once the Pesata is collected, go down into the pit and pick up the
remaining items. You can then leave and proceed to Chapter 5.

When you are in the area where you are just about see the intermission sequence with Luis
dying, there will be a door that lets you know that you will need another person for it.
After you get Ashley back, return to this door. Give Ashley a piggyback and she will open
the door. Inside will be a lot of treasure, and the powerful Broken Butterfly. You do not
have to buy it from the merchant or sell it for money. Additionally, the strongest Magnum
is not the Killer 7. When you tune up and buy the exclusive option of the Broken Butterfly
its power will increase to 50.0, far stronger than the Killer 7's 35.0. You can kill a
Boss in four shots.

Try not to get surrounded by them. Make sure they are in a group. Take out whatever rifle
you have and shoot them all in the head until the snake thing appears. Wait until they are
all like, then throw a flash grenade to kill all of them at once. This works well on all
of them, and saves ammunition.

Tap X(2) when the "Open" action appears to kick open or down some doors instead of nudging
them by hand. This will give you an advantage, as any enemies behind the door will be sent
flying back.

Soon after the farmhouse, look around to collect some ammunition and buy more items. After
that, go to an opening where you see a lever. Go up to it and switch it to the right to
fight El Gigante (recommended) or switch it to the left to face more chainsaw wielding
villagers (extremely difficult). If you select to fight El Gigante, aim at the rock at the
top ledge until he is underneath it and fire. Use the same tactic on the one you dealt
with earlier.

Throw a flash grenade in the middle of a group of birds. All of them will die instantly,
leaving lots of gold. This also works with the Granadas when their heads are transformed.

When you first get to the church, defeat everyone in the area. Then, return to the church
and shoot the bell above. Villagers will arrive in a groups of three to six Gonados. You
can continue this process as much as desired.

At the beginning of the game, if you leave a hen alone in Pueblo they should lay at least
one golden egg (which fully restores health when used). Go to the weapon/health screen and
select the egg. It should allow you to equip the egg. At the screen, Leon will throw the
egg up and down, looking smug. Additionally, the golden egg is the best healing item, as
it fully heals you and only takes one space in your case.

Destroy at least ten of the fifteen blue medallions (there are seven in the farm and eight
in the cemetery) to get a free Punisher from the Merchant two guns before you can buy it.
This pistol hits two targets when you get it and five when you get exclusive.

When running around different areas of the village, you will see crows. Pick them off from
a distance as to not scare the others away. They usually drop Pesetas. Note: If you
scare some away, just re-enter the area to reset their position.

When inside the castle, an obstacle blocks your path (two fire breathing statues) To shut
it off, you must enter the prison (the key is on a painting near the obstacle). When you
go into the prison, equip either the TMP or shotgun and tell Ashley to wait atop the
stairs. After the intermission sequence showing what the boss looks like, kick down the
cell door and get close to the switch to initiate the battle. If you go up the stairs to
try to escape, the door will shut. Try walking as much as possible, as he is sensitive to
sound. You can use the bells at each end of the prison by shooting at them, but they can
only be used once. Stay close to walls so that he gets stuck when he tries to attack you.
Do your best to avoid his attacks, as they take much damage and there is only one Green
Herb in the area. His only weakness is the spider thing on his back. When he is stuck in a
wall, concentrate all of your firepower on the the weak point until he recuperates. After
awhile, he will let his guard down and walk around. This is when he is most vulnerable,
besides when he is stuck in a wall. Repeat this as many times as needed to kill him. When
you put Ashley atop the steps, she is out of harm's way. Additionally, make sure that he
is closer to the bell than he is to you. Shoot it with your handgun. If he is closer to
you, he hears the gunshot. Then, switch to the rifle and aim just in front of the bell. If
you aimed well and timed your shot correctly, you can shoot him in the back before he
destroys the bell.

When you enter the town, kill everyone. When the second wave of people arrives, also kill
all of them. You can then go into the house and they will not come out. Additionally,
during the mine cart section of Chapter 4-2, the mine car will stop and lots of enemies
and two chainsaw men will load into the stopped cars. To avoid most of this encounter, be
in the front car and immediately shoot the switch. The cars will start moving, and you
will have only have about four enemies to kill.
