Resident Evil 4 Cheats (PlayStation 2)

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.

Look at his legs. If you see an eyeball, shoot it until you can see the eyeball in his
mouth. Get near it and press Action. Do this about three times, then go across the bridge
and get the rocket launcher. Shoot it at him. Then, go down, get Ashley, and ride the jet
ski.

The most effective way to win this battle is to have the Mine Thrower and some
grenades. Start the battle by running past Saddler to the end platform and climb up the
ladder. Wait for Saddler to get close to where you are and throw the switch. This will
trigger steel beams to crash into him. Saddler will flop down on the ground. Quickly jump
off the platform and go near him. Press X to trigger Leon to "climb up". Leon will stab
his eye. You must stab Saddler around six times to defeat him. Quickly run across the
bridge and get ready to do an action command to jump when the bridge falls. As Leon grabs
on, repeatedly tap X to climb up. Be aware if Saddler has not jumped over to where you
are, he will throw steel beams and you will have to do action commands to dodge them. Run
to the end, and once again climb up the ladder. Get ready to throw the switch and cause
Saddler to fall and stab him. There are now multiple ways to get him to flop down. A
single grenade is enough, as well as a Dart Mine. You can use these to get him to fall.
You get also take out the thermal scope for your sniper and target one of the four eyes
on his legs. Those are all good ways to get Leon to stab his eye. Note: Stabbing
Saddler's eye is the only way to damage him. Finally, when you haved stab him enough an
intermission sequence will appear, and Ada will throw a Rocket Launcher (Special) to you
to finish the job. Grab it across the bridge and make room for it in your case. Point and
shoot at Saddler, and the final battle intermission sequence will begin.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

When Ashley is on a cliff or still up a ladder, you can aim your gun up at her. She will
grab her skirt and call you a pervert.

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.

Kill Salazar's "right hand" that you need to use the liquid nitrogen tanks on to receive
the "Crown Jewels". which fit into the "Crown" treasure item. This is difficult; try
using the Chicago Typewriter.

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.

Collect some eggs, equip them, and throw them at Ashley. They will not harm her and it is
funny. Aim from a distance to get used to them. They are lighter than a grenade and fly
far when thrown. Note: She will duck when in close proximity.

There are many locks on doors. Instead of shooting the locks and wasting ammunition, pull
out your knife and cut it off. The same can be done for boxes.

Successfully complete the game to unlock the Separate Ways and Mercenaries mini-games;
the Professional difficulty setting; Leon's Raccoon City Police Department costume,
Ashley's pop star costume, and Ada's black costume; the Mathilda handgun and Infinite
Rocket Launcher for purchase (for 1 million Pesetas), and the Tactical Vest (for 60,000
Pesetas); and an alternate title screen. After completing the game the first time, start
a new game, then press Start and select "Load Game". Choose the file that is marked
"Clear". Once you choose that file, you will be taken to a menu where you can buy the
Matilda Handgun or the Infinite Rocket Launcher. Once you start the game, all of your
items from your previous game will be in your item box.

Successfully complete the Separate Ways mini-game to unlock Ashley's knight costume
and Leon's gangster costume. Ashley's suit of armor is bullet and damage proof. She
cannot get hurt by anything and it is so heavy she cannot be carried away. You do not
have to worry about giving her First Aid Sprays, Herbs, or shooting Ganados trying to
pick her up.

Successfully complete the game in Professional mode. The merchant will give you a PRL
412 laser cannon when you start Round 2 of Professional mode.

Use the D-pad and Analog-stick together to aim faster than normal.

When Leon is being choked by Chief Mendez, he will be told that he has the same blood.
Leave the room, then return. You will be choked again by Chief Mendez, only this time Ada
will come to the rescue.

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 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.

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.

Shoot out the legs of everyone, then unload on their heads while they are lying on their
faces.

To find items, smash all of the crates with either your knife or a gun.

After you kill the hatchet guy as soon as you start the game, go upstairs to the window.
Do not jump out. Instead, take out your pistol and shoot the glass out. Then, carefully
aim for the villagers' heads that are awaiting outside. There are three of them. If you
kill all three, you can jump out and avoid any damage.

When you meet a man with the chainsaw, shoot him with the shotgun and incendiary grenades.
You can also use your handgun, but you will probably get killed. Note: The shotgun
is found in the building that is diagonal from the tower.

Remain idle at the title screen. Eventually two trailers will begin playing and begin to
cycle.

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.

After you unlock Leon's special costume, complete Chapter 1-3. In the intermission
sequence after the game prompts you to save, Leon will have a strange dream that the egg
hatched and is taking over his body. One part shows it taking over his arm, but the
secondary costume prevents Leon from looking at his skin. Leon still acts as though he
can see it, and the intermission sequence plays through normally after that.

Wait until you are low on ammunition before upgrading a gun. The replacement gun will
always have a full clip, giving you extra bullets that otherwise may be difficult to
find.

When you are in the castle and you fire at the Gothic Illuminados, it is best to fire at
their knees. They will fall on them and allow you to use a suplex move instead of a kick.
You will then throw them over your head and smash their head in the ground. Note:
In mercenary mode, the same goes for the rest of the mercenaries.

If you are able to hit the flying insect enemies in the cave area while they are airborne,
they will die in just one hit. Any weapon works, though the shotgun is recommended. This
will help conserve your ammunition. If they manage to land, you will use about three to
four shogun rounds from a Stock Striker (firepower 6.0).

After you survive the raid, you must choose a path to open; left or right. Open the right
gate and it will take you to El Gigante. Use the shotgun and make the boulder drop down
on his head when he arrives. Then, turn around and kick the door six times to knock the
chains off it. If you are still standing outside the door when you see Gigante approach
you from behind, do not panic; just get out of there quickly. He does not attack for a
few seconds after he comes up behind you. The knife or a gunshot may help destroy the
chains quicker, but kicking works. Go through another door in the same fashion and
somewhere along the way you should find a key. It may be in one of the last huts you see
toward the center. If you are quick enough, you can escape El Gigante and make it through
the door alive with Ashley.

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.

Before the end of the chapter, there is a puzzle in the church. The puzzle is a simple mix
of colors. Three different designs surround the main design. The colors are red, green,
and blue. When you enter the church, turn to the left and go down the little hall. Climb
the ladder. When you are up there, you will see that the way to the door is barred. You
must get to the other side of the church by jumping on and off of the chandelier. On the
other side, there is a set of switches. When you activate it, the puzzle starts. The goal
is to turn the designs so when combined, they are the same as the middle design. Turn red
twice, green three times, and blue once. When combined, it should create the design.
Then, go in and grab Ashley.

You do not need a special scope to kill them. Buy the Killer 7 Magnum and use it on them.
After three or four shots, they will go down. Shoot it in the sheet until there is a
hole. Then, shoot its head. After that, the body will explode then the legs will fall
over and leave 5,000 gold. Additionally, another way to kill the Regenerator creatures is
to shoot their head or chest with the shotgun. Then, blast a leg away; it will fall on the
ground. Then, take out an incinerator grenade (the red ones) and throw it at them. If done
correctly, he will burn on the ground and die.

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.

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.

If you see a snake after smashing boxes, kill it. You will get a chicken egg for health.
Note: If you do not kill the snake it will bite you and take health away.

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.

Once you gain access to the tunnel with the merchant beyond Pueblo, return to the farm
area and wait for the chickens there to lay eggs. Exit and re-enter to begin the same
process over again. After you fill your inventory, you can return to the nearby merchant
to sell your eggs. White chicken eggs sell for 300 Pesetas, brown eggs for 600 Pesetas,
and golden eggs for 3,000 Pesetas.

Look behind every painting of Saddler to find 5,000 Pesetas.
