Resident Evil 4 Cheats (PlayStation 2)

You can kill the merchant at any time in the game. On the normal difficulty setting, he
just dies then comes back at the next place, or sometimes when you leave the room and come
back in. However, on the professional difficulty setting, once he dies, he remains dead.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Either weapon works; feel free to experiment. When the battle starts, check out the
shacks and get all of the items that you can. When he gets close, run between his legs,
get behind him, then open fire. When he is approaching you, use the shotgun and keep
shooting him in the head while avoiding his attacks. When he roars and starts moving
around, something will pop out of his back. Before it kneels on the ground, get in close
until the action command that reads "Climb" appears. Use it to get on his back. The screen
will indicate which button to use to slash. Press that button as fast as possible until
you get off. Repeat the process one to three more times to defeat him. Additionally, when
facing the El Gigante, buy a rocket launcher; it will kill him in one hit instead of
wasting your other ammunition.

You will have to fight four El Gigantes (the big monster that breaks through the door
and picks up and crushes Leon). You will fight one by yourself, one with the girl, and two
at the same time by yourself. The quickest way to kill them is to buy a rocket launcher
immediately before the fight so that you do not take waste space in you inventory. Throw a
flash grenade to stun him, then run around behind and shoot him in the back. You will kill
him in one hit. The same can also be done on most of the Bosses. If this does not kill
them, it will do a lot of damage.

To win easily against the two El Gigantes in Chapter 4-2, go up the ladder and go down
the rope on the other side of the room to activate the mechanism. It will open the circle
in the middle of the room and take an El Gigante into the lava. Do not try it a second
time; the mechanism will not work again. Just use the rocket launcher to finish the
remaining El Gigante.

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.

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.

Get a four star rank in the following areas to unlock the corresponding character in
the Mercenaries mini-game:



Ada Wong: Pueblo

Albert Wesker: Waterworld

Hunk: Island Commando Base

Jack Krauser: Castle

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.

Wear Leon's gangster costume and have the Chicago Typewriter as a weapon. Hold R1 and
press Square. Leon will take off his hat, re-adjust it, then put it back in place. Repeat
this until he throws his hat in the air, catches it, then strikes a pose.

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.
