Comprehensive walkthrough for Resident Evil 4, covering every chapter, boss fight, puzzle, and collectible. Includes tips and strategies for survival.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by finding clues in the mansion. Engage and defeat the first zombie, ensuring it's fully eliminated.
  2. 2
    Collect ammo and return to Barry. A zombie will attack; Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall.
  3. 3
    Barry provides a lock pick. Use it on the blue doors. In this room, move the steps to get the map and move the desk to access another area.
  4. 4
    Deal with the zombie on the floor, collect the ribbon, and exit.
  5. 5
    In the corridor, a dog will attack; defeat it. Another dog appears further down; defeat it as well.
  6. 6
    The first door on the left is a bathroom (ignore unless Chris, then drain water for a cabinet key).
  7. 7
    Continue down the corridor to two doors. The left door contains a shotgun (Jill can get it, triggering a trap Barry saves her from; Chris should avoid for now).
  8. 8
    Enter the other door to face two more zombies. Go through the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant, and enter the save room.
  9. 9
    Save your game, store items, collect Earth, and exit. Go upstairs.
  10. 10
    Eliminate the zombie to your left and the one behind you. Enter the door at the end of the corridor.
  11. 11
    Shoot the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
  12. 12
    Continue down the corridor, past the green doors (inaccessible yet), and shoot another zombie.
  13. 13
    Enter the unlocked door, returning to the Main Hall. Barry (Jill only) gives bazooka ammo.
  14. 14
    Locate the bazooka in the room next to the one you just exited, guarded by crows. Collect it (Chris gets clips).
  15. 15
    Exit and cross the hall to the other door, leading to the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies.
  16. 16
    Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill the two zombies by the stairs and descend.
  17. 17
    Deal with two more zombies at the bottom of the stairs and enter the save room. (Chris meets Rebecca; 'Yes' for later help, 'No' for no later help). Collect the ribbon (Chris gets a key), save, and exit.
  18. 18
    Continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on the right contains items (clip, shotgun shells, rusty shotgun for Chris) but is inaccessible yet.
  19. 19
    Enter the other door, shoot zombies, and head down the narrow corridor to the plant room.
  20. 20
    Use Earth on the pump to kill the plant and collect the key behind it. Use green plants if injured.
  21. 21
    Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun).
  22. 22
    Go back through the doors and turn right. Enter the bedroom on the right. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will emerge from the cupboard when investigating the desk.
Tips
  • Always aim for the head to conserve ammo and stun enemies.
  • Utilize environmental hazards like explosive barrels when available.
  • Manage your inventory carefully; only carry essential items.
  • Save frequently, especially before challenging areas or boss fights.
  • If playing as Jill, the shotgun is a significant upgrade early on.
  • If playing as Chris, be mindful of his lower health and the need for Rebecca's medicine.
  • The rusty shotgun is a necessary step for Chris to obtain the standard shotgun.
