To get all the achievements and bonuses in Resident Evil 4, you will have to complete the main story at least five times. In order not to waste precious time, we have compiled a detailed guide where we described the secrets of passing, as well as effective skips and loopholes that will help you skip part of the game and easily get the highest rank.
How to get an "S+" rank
You can get the "S +" rank by fulfilling several conditions:
- Complete the passage in 5 hours;
- Make no more than 15 saves at the typewriter. Autosaves don't count.
- Do not use the "New Game +" mode ;
- You can use weapons and items from the bonus shop.
Chapter 1
If you're playing the game on New Game+, you can shoot the bell in the village to skip the fight scene. To do this, you will need any rifle with a telescopic sight. Climb onto the balcony of the building where the shotgun is located, and shoot approximately in the central part of the tower in the next location. Other weapons will not reach the bell, so if you do not have a rifle, then you will not be able to use this skip.
How to quickly open the barn door
A little further along the story, you will need to go into the barn for gear. In order not to bypass the entire location through the mill, you can break the lock on the door earlier. Throw a grenade through the window, make an aimed shot, or shoot through the door to the right of the handle. Either way will break the lock. It is not necessary to kill enemies in this location.
Chapter 2
Once in a closed location after the merchant, move along the right edge. You can pass the first part of this place silently, but even if the alarm is raised, you will have time to slip through. After you take the six-sided emblem, continue to move along the right edge. You do not need to fight with all the villagers, because the faster you pass this place, the more ammo and time you will save.
Use the shotgun to push back the enemies that are blocking your path.
Since you acted quickly, there won't be many zombies. Shoot the barrel to get rid of nearby enemies and turn the valve.
There are no cuts or tricks in Chapter 2. But you can win a couple of minutes by memorizing puzzle solutions.
Chapter 3
At the beginning of the third chapter, there will be a wolf trapped to the left of the house. If you save him, the El Gigante boss will have more health later. We see a pattern: the more health the enemies have, the more time and resources you will spend on killing them.
How to quickly defeat the monster in the lake (Del Lago)
Entering the boat, you will encounter Del Lago, who has 1261 HP. As a result, you need to deal the same amount of damage until he goes into the second phase. If this happens, health will be restored to 882 HP. Spam with harpoons without stopping and misses, and additionally hit the monster's mouth 2-3 times. You can miss no more than three times during the whole time. Use the movement buttons to avoid crashing into objects on the water and dodge Del Lago's attacks. This will save you about 5 minutes.
If you find it difficult to hit with harpoons, you can reduce the height of the waves by changing the FPS settings to 60 frames per second.
Chapter 4
At the beginning of the level, it is very important to pick up a golden egg, which will come in handy in chapter 12. It is located in a small location to the east of the island.
You can find the same egg later in chapter 11, but this will require additional time.
Further in the game, you will find several template puzzles and another boss - El Gigante. The fastest way to kill him is with a sniper rifle. Shoot the head and the parasite on its back for maximum damage. We also advise you to use grenades when he tries to pick up and throw stones or wooden structures at you.
Chapter 5
This skip is your main source of time savings. You can skip bosses and even entire chapters using this technique alone. You won't be able to repeat the pass the first time. It takes a long time to master, but it's worth it.
How it works:
- Stand with your back as close as possible to the door or stairs;
- Aim and look at the floor using the scope of the sniper rifle;
- Take a couple of steps back to make sure you're as close to the subject as possible;
- Release the aim button while holding the back button. At this point, you need to sharply turn the mouse to the right or left to hook on the object with which you want to interact, and also press the interaction button.
If you can’t, then in the mouse settings you should increase the DPI parameter almost to the maximum, so that the camera turns the hero 180 degrees from a small movement.
Note: If you found a place where you can use the skip, but we didn’t tell you about it, then it doesn’t work or breaks the level in the future. By making too many skips, you can break the game and your current save.
At the beginning of Chapter 5, you will give Ashley a lift, who will lower the ladder for you. Climb onto it and use the mastered skip, standing just to the right of the stairs. You will be pushed through the wall, and you will fall to the first floor, which will allow you not to bypass the church, but immediately head to the exit. At the same time, Ashley will remain in the tower, which means that she will not be taken away, and there is no need to follow her.
How to quickly end the battle in a lonely house
A little further down the story, Leon will be rescued by Luis, and you have to fend off waves of peasants. To speed up the process, you need to board up all three windows on the ground floor. Some wooden boards will be in the house itself, while the other two will fall out of random peasants. This will start the second phase faster, in which you need to kill the enemy with a hammer. The chapter will end immediately after his death, so there is no need to kill everyone.
Chapter 6
After the merchant, there will be a small location in which you should not immediately raise the alarm because now Ashley is with you. Silently kill the first two villagers, and when you do get their attention, throw a flash grenade and leave.
A little further there will be an iron grate with a lock on the opposite side. Come to close range and shoot a little to the right of the handle, as you did in the first chapter. This will save you from having to run around a large area.
There are two tactics for dealing with bosses. Tell Ashley to hide in the locker and choose one of two options:
- Pre-plant 4 Attachable Mines with the Crossbow to kill 2 enemies at once. The higher the difficulty, the more mines will be required. You should not install them too close to the wall, but if they are too far away, you risk not catching everyone;
- On Professional difficulty, it only takes 4 headshots from a sniper rifle to kill one lady. After the second shot, she will start swinging her chainsaw, which will stun the second enemy as well.
Kill the one holding the handle and move on. Throw a flash grenade before using the crank to give you enough time to open the gate. If everything is done correctly, at the moment the door opens, Ashley will come out of the locker and start running toward you. Just follow forward, she will teleport to you a little later.
How to quickly defeat Mendez
By using the mines, you can quickly kill the Mendez boss. Attach 4 mines on the floor between the two blue barrels, as well as 4 mines on the wooden beam (in the second phase the boss will hook on it). You need to do this quickly because the mines have a trigger timer. By adding a couple of control shots, you can quickly kill the boss and save resources.
Chapter 7
On the walls of the castle, you will need to raise the cannon first. You can shoot the counterbalance while on the stairs. Such a skip will add more enemies, but you can easily kill them using a cannon.
How to skip the battle with the blind monster in the castle
Another skip with a rifle scope you can use on the door right in front of the blind monster. This way you will miss most of the location without breaking the integrity of the game.
Passage of the segment with valves in the hall with pools
Later, you will give Ashley a lift to start turning the valves. The faster you kill her pursuers, the less time it takes to complete a full cycle. Enemies will not be tenacious, they only need one headshot from a sniper rifle.
Chapter 8
Having lowered the bridge and dealt with the enemies, you will fall into the tower with bars. You don't have to solve the puzzle with the "Sun" and "Moon" switches, you just need to throw a grenade through the bars or attach a mine to the lamp. After opening the grate, do not forget to switch the rebus to "Sun" to open the final door.
You can open the next grate in the same way by throwing a grenade in the right place. The most convenient way to do this is through a vertical window, but you have the right to throw it through the bars, as last time.
Chapter 9
If you do not have special equipment for Ashley, then it will take a lot of time to complete the labyrinth in chapter 9. In advance, you need to stock up on one flash grenade and activate the flags in the correct order.
Order:
- Activate the flag in the corner of the maze first;
- Then a lever is needed, which will require Ashley's help;
- The third lever will be on the way to the exit from the maze.
Ashley will be grabbed and carried along the standard route. You will have enough time to stand at the door and take aim through the bars. When the red icon is under the windows, you can throw a flash grenade. The enemy will drop Ashley, who will teleport to you as soon as you enter the building.
How to skip the battle in the hall with a goat's head
Next, you need to run the bridge and take the golden head. After running 1/3 of the way, a cutscene will begin, and the bridge will be lowered. Throw any grenade on the balcony in advance or set a few mines with a crossbow.
How to quickly pass the location for Ashley
In the same chapter, you will be allowed to play as Ashley. In order not to look for the necessary time on the clock, you can simply remember:
- On easy and medium difficulty levels - "11:04" ;
- On "Hardcore" and "Professional" - "7:00".
Note: On the way back, when the coat of arms is in your inventory, you do not need to look for keys and open the grate on the elevator. The door to the top floor will already be open.
Chapter 10
After you kill two flies, there will be a locked door in front of you. Repeat the rifle scope skip to avoid fighting a horde of flying monsters.
You can activate the nearest lever without resorting to tricks, there are still few enemies and they are all passive.
A little secret: If you look at the floor, then the sight of the flies breaks, and they will not be able to hit you. Experiment with this to get the best route. Remember to throw a flash grenade before pressing the second lever, otherwise, you will be attacked by all those insects that you left behind.
How to quickly kill blind monsters
As you progress through the story, you will enter a room with enemies. To quickly kill two berserkers, you will need 3 heavy grenades and one hand grenade. Fire a few shots first to get the enemies off the chain. Then shoot the bell, which is located behind the columns to the right of the stairs, and move along the corridor to the right. When you exit it, all enemies will be standing near the bell. Feel free to throw all the grenades there. If someone survived, finish off with the available arsenal. This is the fastest and safest way to deal with the monsters in this location.
How to avoid the fight with Vertugo
The most effective way is to kill him using a rocket launcher. But when going through the game at speed, you may not have extra pesetas. If you do not plan to vacuum the locations and do not want to enter into an open confrontation with the boss, then you can use the following method. After turning on the power, activate the nitrogen spray system and freeze Vertugo.
Run to the elevator, ignoring everything else. Stand with your back to the grate and, taking the optics, take a step back. This way, you will end up with one foot in the textures, so Vertugo will not be able to attack you.
This position must be maintained for 3 minutes. When the timer ends, a cutscene will start.
Chapter 11
In order to blow up the wall, you don't have to run through the mine in search of dynamite. The flare gun will also trigger a cutscene, but most likely you won't have enough money or resources to do so. If you are playing in New Game+ mode, then this is a working scheme.
As such, there are no skips in Chapter 11. But on the cart, you can make your way a little easier if you attack the cart, in which the enemy with the chainsaw sits. Initially, you will not feel the effect, but when you meet again, his “transport” will crumble.
Chapter 12
Having reached the chapel on the trolley, you can buy some time by shooting at the fuel barrel, which is located on the back of the head of the huge statue.
How to quickly defeat Salazar
Remember the egg you picked up in Chapter 4? His time has come. Throwing an item at Ramon's face will deal 70% damage and stun the boss. It is most convenient to finish off the enemy with the help of a revolver.
Chapter 13
At the beginning of the chapter, you will come across a turret. It can be quickly turned off if you're careful enough.
You don't have to switch other mechanisms. The next turret can be blocked by the archer's body if the grenade is thrown correctly. The shock wave will throw him under the laser. At this point, you should have time to go forward and open the door.
When you solve the puzzle and get the key card, you will go down the stairs, because of which the enemy will appear. Take your time. Silently kill him and the next enemy in the next room so as not to raise the alarm.
Not a bug, but a feature! In order not to fight monsters while your key cards are improving, you can stand with your back to the wall and aim at the floor. Thus, you will have one foot behind the textures, and the enemies will not be able to attack you. It should be noted that when you exit the aiming mode, you will immediately be grabbed, so you should always have a knife in your inventory.
Chapter 14
Another skip will help you get through the closed door to get to the elevator and complete most of the chapter in literally one minute.
Chapter 15
To speed up the passage of Chapter 15, you will need 2 heavy grenades and one regular. Throw the first heavy grenade on the platform behind the turret, after Mike's words: "Let's show these bastards what we can do." So you will kill all the enemies behind your back, calmly shooting the rest from a stationary gun.
The remaining grenades must be thrown onto the roof to the anti-aircraft gun.
How to avoid fighting regenerators
The next skip will save not so much time as nerves. In a normal playthrough, you would have to turn 2 valves and fight several regenerators. You can throw flash grenades or try to eliminate all enemies in other ways, but it will be easier to use the scope: you also hold the button back, and aim, but when you release the scope, you move forward instead of rotating the mouse.
Chapter 16
You have the last fight with the boss, so you can sell absolutely the entire inventory. You will need one rocket launcher to skip the first phase, as well as a high-caliber Killer7 pistol with max damage and 9 rounds (one will come in handy during the final escape).
In the second phase, the boss will be invulnerable until he tries to hit you twice with tentacles. After dodging, you can start shooting. After 8 accurate shots from the magnum, Ada will throw off a special rocket launcher.
