-=  2. Introduction -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Even though it took so many years to produce, the fourth installment of the
Resident Evil series finally was released in 2005. Early that year, the game
saw release on the GameCube, and towards the end, on the PlayStation 2. Both
versions had their strengths and weaknesses; the GameCube version contained
superior graphics and audio over the PlayStation 2 version, which contained
extra features such as Separate Ways, new costumes and weapons and the Movie
Browser.
The Wii version combines the GameCube visuals and audio with the PlayStation
2 extras, and on top of that, new Wii Remote controls that allow for more
accurate aiming, attacking and performing QTE moves using the motion
controls that make the game more intuitive than before. Despite being
originally a GameCube game, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, as its called, is
an awesome game that instantly ranks among the Wii's best.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========
Prologue
========
1998... I'll never forget it.
It was the year when those grisly murders occurred in the Arklay Mountains.
Soon after, the news was out to the whole world revealing that it was the
fault of a secret viral experiment conducted by the International
Pharmaceutical Enterprise, Umbrella.
The virus broke out in a nearby mountain community, Raccoon City.
And hit the peaceful little town with a devastating blow crippling its very
foundation.
Not taking any chances, the President of the United States ordered a
contingency plan - to sterilize Raccoon City.
With the whole affair gone public, the United States government issued an
indefinite suspension of business decree to Umbrella.
Soon its stock prices crashed and for all intents and purposes Umbrella was
finished.
===============
Leon S. Kennedy
===============
Age: 27
"Everything's going to be just fine."
Agent of the U.S. Government. He has been sent to Europe on a solo mission to
rescue the President's kidnapped daughter, Ashley. Leon is one of the few
people who survived the destruction of Raccoon City six years ago.
=============
Ashley Graham
=============
Age: 20
"All right! Here goes nothing."
Daughter of the President of the United States. She was kidnapped by a
mysterious group on the way home from her college in Massachusetts.
Allegedly she has been spotted in a village in Europe, but there has been no
sign of her since!
========
Ada Wong
========
"Long time no see, Leon."
This mysterious woman has been working covertly behind the scenes. She met
Leon during the Raccoon City incident. She was thought to be dead. Now it
would seem that she is alive and working as a spy for an unknown
organization.
=========
Luis Sera
=========
"I'm just a good-for-nothing guy, who just happens to be a ladies' man."
Luis says he's a former cop, like Leon. Yet there's more to this mysterious
Spaniard than meets the eye. There's even a rumor that his grandfather once
lived in the area.
============
Jack Krauser
============
"Enough talk! Time to die, comrade!"
A former colleague of Leon's. Now working for his own unknown objectives.
Presumed dead after an accident two years ago, Jack reappears, with obvious
animosity toward Leon.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are three ways you can play Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. You can use
a Wii Remote for motion controls, or you may use a GameCube controller or a
Wii Classic Controller to control the game in the same manner as the earlier
GameCube and PlayStation 2 versions. Of course, the Wii Remote's by far the
most interesting scheme and the whole point of the Wii Edition, but the
control options are still there if you desire the original controls.
Choosing the Controller
-----------------------
To access the game from the Wii menu, you'll have to use the Wii Remote
or Classic Controller to navigate the menu and make your selection. From
here, you may select your controller options.
If you want to use the Wii Remote, plug the Nunchuck into the Wii Remote.
If you want to use the Classic Controller, disconnect the Nunchuck from
the Wii Remote (if you plugged it in) and connect the Classic Controller.
Note that the Classic Controller does not have the rumble feature the
Wii Remote and GameCube controller (excluding the WaveBird) have. To
use the GameCube controller, simply have nothing connected to the Wii
Remote, and make sure the GameCube controller is hooked up to the first
GameCube controller port on the Wii. Note that if you have the Classic
Controller or Nunchuck connected to the Wii Remote, the GameCube
controller will not function.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
================================
Context Sensitive Buttons/Swings
================================
At various points in the game, cutscenes or actions will prompt you to swing
the Wii Remote (if you're using that) or press buttons within a split-second
timeframe in order to perform an action. For example, shooting an enemy in
the face will cause the enemy to stumble, and if you run up and press A, you
will perform a kick, but if you wait too long, the ganado regains his/her
composure and the button will disappear. In some cutscenes, you will need to
press the buttons or swing the Wii Remote to avoid dying. Pay close
attention to these context sensitive buttons during gameplay and cutscenes.
Sometimes, they may be the only way to defeat a boss. This walkthrough
assumes you're playing with the Wii Remote and thus the walkthrough will list
those situations.
===========
Using Herbs
===========
Throughout the game (and in previous RE titles if you remember) you will find
various colored herbs. Green herbs partially recover your health, naturally.
The red herbs do nothing by themselves, but when mixed with a green herb it
enhances the effect. Finally, there are yellow herbs, a new addition to
Resident Evil 4; these are more rare but when mixed with a green herb it can
raise your maximum health somewhat.
Mix                     Effect
---                     ------
Green + Green           More health recovery
Green + Green + Green   Full health recovery
Green + Red             Full health recovery
Green + Yellow          Some health recovery + increase max health one bar
Green + Red + Yellow    Full health recovery + increase max health one bar
Red + Yellow            No effect
============
Enemy Spoils
============
Sometimes when you kill someone in the game, you will notice a colored aura
rising up from its corpse. If you investigate it, you are prompted to check
it out by pressing A, and you will receive the spoils left behind. Here is a
quick rundown of what each colored aura represents.
Color       Spoils
-----       ------
Green       GREEN HERB
Red/White   Various Ammo
Blue        Treasure or Money (PTAs)
========
Merchant
========
There are merchants situated throughout the game, and they sell weapons,
healing items and weapon upgrades. They also purchase almost any non-quest
item in the game for half the value they would sell it for. PTAs are needed
to purchase items unless they're free.
======
Saving
======
You can save the game at a typewriter an unlimited amount of times (unlike
the previous RE games that required an ink ribbon). Also, the game is
divided up into chapters, and at the end of every chapter, you may save
your progress if you like (it counts the same as a typewriter save).
===================
Environment Objects
===================
Throughout the game's environments, there will be various objects that will
aid your adventure:
Shiny Object: Shoot it and you'll generally be able to pick it up. There are
portions of the game where you have to collect a certain
amount to earn a weapon with the merchant. These shiny objects
hang from ceilings or railings, and can yield valuable jewelry
with tons of value.
Explosive Barrel: It may save your life; shooting it will cause an
explosion so shoot when a strong enemy or a group of
weaker ones are near it.
Bear Traps: These traps appear numerous times throughout the game. They may
be hidden in sand, so you may become injured if you step into
them. Shoot or slash at them to "activate" them, thus allowing
you to get by unscathed.
Trip Bomb: In a few locations, especially in the village, are "Trip Bombs."
These bombs will explode and hurt Leon if he walks passed them
without dispatching the bombs first. You can tell the location
of these bombs by keeping a look out for orange-like dynamite
bombs that are pairs connected by a wire. Crossing the wire
triggers the bombs.
Hiding Places: When you are with Ashley, there might be trash cans you can
hide her in while you take care of enemies that might
threaten her. Use them unless you know you can get through
the area without using them.
Barrels: There are also non-explosive barrels. Use the knife to destroy
them and reap the benefits contained within.
================
Difficulty Modes
================
Like with all the versions of CODE: Veronica, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
does not have difficulty modes in the North American version (same goes for
GameCube and PlayStation 2). In the Japanese (and PAL) versions, however,
there are difficulty modes to choose from for Leon's main game.
Amateur: The easiest mode to choose from, with weak enemies and strong
characters. It takes quite a bit of damage to kill Leon, even from
the strongest enemies. Also, a few areas are cut off to male the
game path flow much quicker. This mode was introduced on the
PlayStation 2 version and was not available on the GameCube.
Easy: Also an easier difficulty mode, this mode is only slightly more
difficult than Amateur based on ammo. A few areas are also cut off
from explanation.
Normal: The standard mode of the game, offering a reasonable challenge. This
FAQ is based on Normal Mode. This was the only mode available in the
North American versions of the game until Professional is unlocked.
Professional: The hardest mode in the game, enemies are tougher kill and
deal more damage. This mode is unlocked after beating Leon's
game once.
*****************************************************************************
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=  6. Walkthrough - Main Game  -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Leon S. Kennedy is who you control for most of the main game. The co-star of
Resident Evil 2, Leon's back after six years of training with the American
government. It's up to him to rescue Ashley Graham, the president's daughter,
from the forces that kidnapped her.
===========
Chapter 1-1
===========
Forest
------
You start off the game in the middle of the woods, literally. All you have is
your HANDGUN and the trusty KNIFE, as well as some FIRST AID SPRAY. Anyway,
start by going up the path where you'll find a house. Approach the house to
witness a cutscene, then go inside. You will get a second scene when you meet
the guy who lives in the house, and chooses to attack you. When you regain
control, quickly shoot him in the face and while he's stumbling around, run
up and kick (the game will prompt this; press A) to hopefully defeat it.
That way you don't waste ammo this soon.
After dispatching the first guy, Leon will talk on the radio with Hunnigan.
Following this, go upstairs and you will hear some people outside. Check on
the table to get HANDGUN AMMO (x10), then jump out the window straight ahead.
There will be 3 more Ganados (that's what the regular people are called, so
get used to it) with axes and pitchforks waiting to attack outside. Move to a
safe distance from the group and take them down one at a time. The best
approach again is to shoot them in the head and try kicking them away for an
easy ammo-efficient kill.
Once they're all dead, you are free to continue along the path. In the first
shack you encounter, cut open the boxes to get some PTAs, a GREEN HERB, and
HANDGUN AMMO (x10). There is also a typewriter in here, should you wish to
save the game right now. Continuing along the dirt path, you will spot a dog
whimpering because its leg is caught in a bear trap. Choose to help it out
(you'll see why it pays off later). Follow the path going down the hill and
then up another hill (be careful of the wire traps between a couple of the
trees to the side). Kill the Ganado atop the hill and continue onward to
another shack.
In this shack, destroy the boxes to get some PTAs, then pick up the GREEN
HERB as you exit. You will see two more Ganados nearby; kill them and cross
the bridge ahead. At the other side, go down the hill and you'll see yet
another shack. Be careful as you approach since there's a Ganado inside ready
to attack! Shoot him down from a safe distance, then pick up the HANDGUN AMMO
(x10) inside. Now, go ahead on the path and check the gate to enter a new
area.
Village of Pueblo
-----------------
As soon as you enter the new section, you are contacted by Hunnigan, who will
send you the PLAYING MANUAL 2 file. Its purpose is to explain how to play the
game, if you didn't already figure that out. When you're finished reading it
through or not, head up the path and you will be prompted to look ahead by
pressing A. You don't have to do this, but at this point will be a split in
the path. The best approach is to take the path going left and forward,
heading into the outskirts of the village of Pueblo. As you follow the path,
you can find a GREEN HERB to the left as you progress. Up ahead you will find
a woman with a pitchfork; break the box to find a RED HERB, then shoot at the
woman in your way. Quickly turn and hit the guy on the roof throwing axes at
you as well.
Your best move from here would be to follow the path under the awning you see
(it's behind where the woman was). Take that path until it turns right,
following it around the building. You should see an entrance to the house you
just ran around; go inside and you will witness a cutscene with the Ganados
descending upon the house. In there, push the dresser in front of the window
so they can't get in, then check the counter behind the stairs to find
HANDGUN AMMO (x10).
Go upstairs and take the SHOTGUN from its resting place on the wall, and
break upon the glass cabinet to find a HAND GRENADE. On the bed across the
room, you will find SHOTGUN SHELLS (x5). The second floor of this house
should be your "base" of sorts for fending off the masses. Keep an eye on the
window by the bed, since the villagers will put up a ladder and try to come
in; put a damper on this effort by knocking down the ladder when possible.
Another good method is to jump out the window to the side and stand on the
slanted roof, giving you a real safe spot when dealing with the Ganados.
There is another ladder leading to the roof you can knock down when you can.
Otherwise, just hang out up here blasting everyone as they come up. Try to
conserve your SHOTGUN for when a huge group is closing in on you, and
especially when the chain saw guy appears. Make sure you dispose of the chain
saw one quickly, since he can chop your head off, effectively ending the game
if you aren't careful.
After you kill enough of the Ganados, a cutscene will start and they will all
migrate to the strange church building in the middle of town. This means the
dangerous part is over for now, so take time to explore the village and pick
up any ammo or herbs you may have missed. Be sure to grab the YELLOW HERB
from a box behind the barn, and mix it with a green so you can increase your
max health.
When you are ready to continue with the game, there is a path to the left of
the tower. Follow it and you will come to another house on the right. Take
the HANDGUN AMMO (x10) from inside, as well as the ALERT ORDER file. Then,
continue on the path to the gate, and go through to the next area.
Farm
----
In this section, you will find a much quieter scene, fortunately. You may
also notice blue medallions hanging from various locations within this
region. There are 15 in total, and if you shoot down at least 10, you will be
rewarded by the Merchant (you'll meet him not too far from now). If you check
the tree you can get the paper discussing the medallions (About the Blue
Medallions).
Anyway, if you wander around this area you'll find some more Ganados to
shoot down, as well as lots of ammo in the different buildings. When you're
ready to go, head to the southeast corner of town (from where you enter just
head left and straight) and go through the giant gate.
In this next area, start to go down the hill and you will witness some
Ganados pushing a giant boulder down the hill behind you. This next part can
be rather annoying since it's one of those real time action cutscenes. At any
rate, you run down the hill by shaking the Wii Remote left and right while
this boulder is rolling down behind you. After a while, the screen will
suddenly tell you to press A + B; you must do this IMMEDIATELY to avoid
getting slammed by the boulder! Failure to do this will result in you dying
and having to reload your save point, or restarting from atop the hill but
with a loss to your record.
If you survive the boulder onslaught (you're going to have to anyway),
continue through the tunnel into a rather dangerous area. There are a couple
shacks in this section, but the Ganados have resorted to throwing explosives
your way. Be VERY careful not to stand too close, or you will take massive
damage and die. Try to pick the villagers off one by one, moving quickly to
avoid getting caught in an explosion.
Once you get through the first building, run around it making sure not to
step in the bear traps scattered along the floor. Go into the first house via
the back entrance and pick up the spoils, then head into the much larger
building in the back. Inside, take the HANDGUN AMMO (x10) off the table and
head into the next couple rooms. The rest of this house is booby-trapped, so
look for the red glowing bombs on the walls and shoot them out so they
detonate, making the room safe for exploration. In the third room, push the
bookcase away from the opening and continue onward. You will hear some
rattling coming from the closet in the back corner; check it out and a man
tied up will fall out. Witness the cutscene and the chapter will end.
===========
Chapter 1-2
===========
Abandoned House
---------------
After making acquaintances with Luis, you will witness another couple
cutscenes as Leon and Luis chat. During this, a Ganado with an axe approaches
the house you guys are tied up in. When he comes, you will have to shake
the Wii Remote in this action scene to escape sudden death. This frees the
two of you, and Luis bolts. After a transmission from Hunnigan, you will
have control again, so take the HANDGUN AMMO (x10) and leave the house.
Valley
------
As you make your exit, you will see a Merchant calling to you from out the
window. Go around the corner and take the RIFLE AMMO (x5) from the table,
then exit the house and go around to the Merchant. Here you can buy other
weapons, sell your treasures, and upgrade your current weapons. If you want
to upgrade now, go for it. I highly recommend you get the ATTACHE CASE M
right now so you can carry more inventory.
When you're done, turn back around and head through the metal gate. In this
large complex you'll have to deal with plenty of enemies, including some who
will throw explosives; watch out for those! For now, go right and down the
first hill, dispatching the guy who should be standing there. Follow the path
going up the hill as you take out anyone charging at you. Now you have to
watch for the explosive-throwers, so pay attention and you can navigate this
safely. A hint in dealing with them though; if you can shoot them dead before
they throw the dynamite, it will explode killing all the enemies surrounding
it; this can be to your advantage.
Go up the hills and dispatch anyone that comes your way. At the end of the
inclining path you'll find a chest; open it to get the EMBLEM (LEFT HALF).
Now that you have the first half, jump down to the lower area from the nearby
ledge. Down there you'll spot another building with an explosives thrower on
the roof. You'll also notice a path leading behind this shack; remember it
for you will be returning here shortly. Anyway, kill a bunch of Ganados that
swarm into the area and make your way down a hill to the next building. Go
around to the front side and climb the ladder. On the roof, go up the steps
and open the chest to get the EMBLEM (RIGHT HALF).
Now that you have both halves, combine them in the Key Items screen to form
the whole HEXAGONAL EMBLEM. Jump down to the lower area and go back up the
hill you just came from. This time take the left path going behind
everything, and you'll come to a door with an indentation. Use the HEXAGONAL
EMBLEM and the door will open, so go through.
Warehouse
---------
In this new area, cut open the barrels you find, then enter the abandoned
warehouse ahead. The first room is safe, but in the second room you'll
encounter some Ganados. Defeat them and move on until you reach an apparent
dead end. At that point, jump through the windows to the side and you'll be
faced with some dynamite-throwers out in the distance. If you have the RIFLE,
feel free to snipe them, otherwise aim well and shoot at them with your
HANDGUN, hopefully hitting their explosives for a quick room clear.
This room is also littered with bear traps so watch your step as you make
your way to the back area. To make it easier, shoot the traps to trigger them
so it's safer to cross over. Once at the far end, go through the door and
scavenge around in the next room. If you want some treasure, shoot through
the boarded up window and jump through to find an ELEGANT MASK. Anyway, head
through the door at the other side of the room, and go down the tunnel.
Defeat a couple Ganados there, and head into the next room. You can either
climb down into a well and grab some goodies, or climb up to exit the area
altogether.
Village Chief's House
---------------------
Outside again, go forward and you will see a well-trapped area with trip
bombs and bear traps. Shoot down the box on the tree to destroy the trip
bomb, then shoot away the bear traps so you can walk safely. Continue up some
steps and you'll find a door with a blue sphere on it. The idea is to make
the sphere display the insignia found on the church in the village. For a
simple solution, rotate it up and then left. The door leading inside will
then open.
In this house, check the bed for the CHIEF'S NOTE file, and the dresser for
the INSIGNIA KEY. Go through the door to the right and you'll watch a
cutscene where the Chief appears once again. Once it's done, the chapter will
also end.
===========
Chapter 1-3
===========
Village Chief's House
---------------------
Upon starting this chapter you will be contacted by Hunnigan once more. When
she's done talking, you will have control. If you want, go back into the
previous room for an optional, but very interesting cutscene. Then, go
downstairs and check around the house if you want, then exit through the front
door.
Path to Pueblo
--------------
Once outside, you'll face another chain saw guy. Destroy him quickly with the
SHOTGUN, then continue along the path. Kill off another group of Ganados
ahead, then unbar the large door and head into the village again.
Village of Pueblo
-----------------
Once again in Pueblo, you'll have to fight a couple Ganados, but nothing like
earlier when you first passed through. There will be several of them to
fight, though. Clear them and head to the building in town where everyone ran
off to earlier, and open the door with the INSIGNIA KEY. Inside, grab what
you can and go through the door, then climb down into an underground tunnel.
Tunnel
------
Down here, head along the corridors (they're safe) until you meet up with the
Merchant again. Sell your treasures here and buy the RIFLE if you have yet to
do so. You should have enough money to afford upgrading your HANDGUN and
SHOTGUN a bit, too. If you have extra money, get the TMP was well. When
you're done, go through the door and climb up to exit the tunnels.
Cemetery
--------
In here, go up the path defeating anything you come across. When you reach
the church, take the path leading to the right and onto some bridges. Kill
the Ganados you encounter and go through the door at the end to reach a new
area.
Lumber Yard
-----------
Here, you will find a few cabins built off to the side; enter them to find
some ammo and treasure. At the other end of the area, you'll see a large gate
with something moaning behind it. Luckily you won't have to fight whatever it
is yet, so take the open path to the right of it. At the split right now,
take the stairs going down and head through the door.
Lake Safehold
-------------
In this safe zone of sorts, jump down to the lower area and follow the path
to a typewriter for saving, and a Merchant. If you want to upgrade your guns,
now's your chance. Also, if you've been picking off the medallions along the
way here, you should have hit at least 10 by now. Talk to the Merchant and
you can take the PUNISHER handgun for free. It's good since it allows you to
shoot through two enemies at once; not too bad and can save you ammo.
When you're done in here, go back up the ladder and through the door to the
previous area. This time, head up the stairs and into the room to the right.
Swamp
-----
Here, start to go down the hill and you'll enter another action scene where
the Ganados roll a giant boulder down the hill behind you. Swing the Wii
Remote to stay ahead, then press A+B when prompted to jump out of the way
safely.
With that done, go forward to the swampy region. Run onto the bridge to get
the first guy's attention, then shoot the trip bomb to clear him easily. Run
ahead and dispatch a few more Ganados, and enter the shack. Drop into the
swampy area and continue to the right (or to the east if you check the map).
Shoot at the trip bombs hanging from the columns as you proceed, also making
sure to defeat any Ganados in your way. At the end of the path, go up the
hill onto dry land and go through the door at the top to reach the lake area.
Lake
----
You will encounter a split in the path up ahead, once again. If you go
forward and up the hill, you can reach a cliff overlooking the lake and
witness a cutscene detailing what you're about to face. Taking the lower path
though, you'll reach a shack containing a Green and YELLOW HERB, as well as a
typewriter should you want to save now. Up ahead is the dock, complete with a
motor boat waiting for you to jump into. Hop aboard and maneuver it to the
southeast (straight ahead pretty much; make sure you're at full health before
you start moving too), and you'll get another cutscene. This will be your
very first boss battle against a sea creature named Del Lago.
------------------
Boss: Del Lago
Found: Lake (Chapter 1-3)
Strategy: You start this fight off with the massive beast pulling your
boat along as it swims around the lake. The first tug-along
will take you through some floating debris in the water; avoid
it by steering to the left or right like you normally would.
Your only weapon against this boss is a harpoon, so aim and
throw when you get the monster in your crosshairs. When it's
towing you around normally, there won't be any debris in the
way, so take this time to throw some harpoons and cause some
damage. When Del Lago goes underwater, be careful since it
could reemerge and swim towards you with its mouth open to
cause you lots of damage. To avoid this, try to steer your boat
and evade it. Shortly after, it will emerge again and the cycle
repeats. Just so you're aware, if you hit debris or Del Lago
rams into your boat, you will fall into the water. When this
happens you have to shake the Wii Remote rapidly to swim back
to the boat or else you'll be eaten alive! After a while, when
Del Lago submerges it will become quiet and you can turn in all
directions to see what's around. At this point, arrows will
appear onscreen to show you where Del Lago is, charging at you.
Throw some harpoons as it approaches to attack some more. Then,
when the usual tugging around cycle commences, throw more
harpoons and avoid attacks like you normally would until you
defeat it.
------------------
Following the Del Lago fight, the monster will start to sink into the lake.
However, it's still pulling a rope which ends up being tangled around Leon's
leg! You will be prompted to shake the Wii Remote repeatedly as quickly as
possible for a few seconds as he cuts himself free. If you shook quickly
enough you'll survive, and the chapter will end.
===========
Chapter 2-1
===========
Lake
----
When the chapter starts, you'll watch another cutscene as well as yet another
transmission from Hunnigan. After that's done, you will have control again.
Check nearby for the ANONYMOUS LETTER file, as well as some ammo, then exit
the house. If you look over by the lake you'll see some blue lights in the
distance. Should you be inclined to do so, get into the boat and ride out
toward the lights to enter a hidden cave.
Lake Cave
---------
In this area that was gated off earlier, you'll find some barrels with some
goodies inside, as well as the Merchant. If you have the means to buy
anything or upgrade, go for it. Otherwise, get back on the boat to exit.
Lake
----
Back on the water, head to the southern shore once again. Then, follow the
path going east in the rain to a new area.
Waterfall Passage
-----------------
Shortly after you arrive in here, you'll see your first Ganado who has been
infected by Las Plagas. Basically, when you kill a regular Ganado, if they
were infected a giant parasite will come out of their head and continue
advancing; to kill it, blast the parasite from a safe enough distance. Do
this here, then kill another guy and head up the stairs ahead. Hop across the
ledges and follow the path going alongside the rapidly moving water, then
jump across again further down. You'll see a rope up ahead; climb down it to
the basin area.
Down here, go forward and you'll be able to climb up a ladder to a higher
ledge. Before you do so however, aim up and shoot the Ganado standing patrol
there. After he's gone, climb up. If you look out in the distance you'll see
a couple of crates hanging. One is straight ahead and another is higher up
and towards the right. Use your RIFLE if you have it, if you have trouble
aiming. Shoot both crates down, then climb down and continue along the path.
After you pass the gears it will be an apparent dead end into the water. You
can shoot down another crate though, which you can jump across to the other
side with.
Since you already did it a couple moments earlier, continue jumping across
the last 2 crates to the far ledge. Go around that path to a ladder and climb
up to find a lever. Turn it and jump back down, and go across the 2 crates
again. Once on the middle platform several Ganados will run out of the
waterfall cave that's now accessible. Run up the path and defeat everyone
with your SHOTGUN. If you want, climb up the ladder here and break the barrel
to find a GREEN HERB. Otherwise, go into the cave.
Waterfall Cave
--------------
In here, go forward until you reach a wall with markings on it. Take the
ROUND INSIGNIA and it will open up. Following this, Hunnigan will call you,
so talk to her. After that, go on to another door and head through it.
Dock
----
In this room, go forward and hop onto the boat. It will automatically take
you back to an earlier area near the Merchant prior to the Del Lago battle.
Lake Safehold
-------------
When you arrive here, you can go left to the Merchant. If you don't want to
buy anything, it would still be a good idea to use the typewriter to save
your game here. Then, take the other path up a ladder and out of this area.
Lumber Yard
-----------
Here, make a left into the yard itself and you'll witness a cutscene. You
will then have to engage the El Gigante in battle.
--------------
El Gigante
Found: Lumber Yard (Chapter 2-1)
Strategy: This giant beast may appear to be really tough, but as long as
you keep your distance, you shouldn't have that much trouble.
From a distance, this boss can throw boulders at you, or even
pick up a tree and try swinging at you (you'll be prompted to
swing the Wii Remote quickly to avoid that). When you close in,
that's when it can get very dangerous since El Gigante can
either punch at you, kick you, or grab you, all of which cause
massive damage on your part. When it grabs you though, move the
left analog stick back and forth QUICKLY to stab your way out
of its palm. As for your attack on it, shower it with HANDGUN
bullets to the head, or use the RIFLE if you want the added
kick. If you're close, try using the SHOTGUN. Also, if you
rescued that dog early in the game (remember that?) it will
appear here to distract the boss, allowing you to get in some
shots without fear of attack. After you cause enough damage, a
parasite will burst out of El Gigante's back and the boss will
squat down. Run towards it and climb on by pressing the button,
then swing the Wii Remote rapidly to knife the parasite. After
a few seconds you'll get knocked down again and the fight
continues. Repeat this a couple times and you will win.
--------------
Following the battle, the gates will open and you can continue with your
journey. Collect the 15000 PTAs prize from El Gigante's corpse, then head
through the west gate. Also, if you haven't done this during the fight, run
around the area and go into the little houses to find some items, including
a YELLOW HERB on a ledge near one of the gates. At any rate, go west to exit.
Cemetery
--------
When you enter this area, make your way across the bridges once again, until
you reach the other end. Once at the end, beware since at the top of the hill
are dogs waiting to attack you. You may want to use the SHOTGUN to take them
all down quickly. Once they're dead, run up to the church and use the ROUND
INSIGNIA to open the door, and go inside.
Church
------
Inside the church finally, go to the left side and climb up a ladder to reach
the upper level. There will be a control panel in the center area, so go
operate it. This puzzle involves red, green, and blue lights, but they're not
solid lights. You have to turn each individual color so that when you combine
the colors into one circle, it resembles the center one with the insignia on
it. Turn blue 1 time, red 2 times, and green 3 times, then combine. The gates
on the opposite side of the room will drop and you can access the door, so do
that.
Inside, you will witness a cutscene where you finally find Ashley, the
President's daughter who was kidnapped. After that, talk to Hunnigan, and you
will get the PLAYING MANUAL 3 with details on controlling Ashley. Basically,
you can have her follow you or stay in place by pressing +, you can heal her
with herbs if attacked, and you get game over if she dies/is taken away
through a door.
With Ashley now, take what you can find in the room and exit. Run around the
perimeter and jump down to the lower floor, and head into the main area to
watch a cutscene. You will finally meet the Lord Saddler that you've heard so
much about up until now. After the scene, the chapter ends.
===========
Chapter 2-2
===========
Church Side Room
----------------
In here, cut open the barrels to get a few more items, then unlock and exit
through the door.
Cemetery
--------
Outside, you will see a quick cutscene with a whole mess of Ganados in the
graveyard. This won't be too hard, though. Go forward to the path and Ashley
will tell you there are explosives on the wagon in front of you. Shoot at the
wagon and the barrels will start to explode, killing most of the threat.
Shoot down the remaining enemies, then run down the path and climb down the
ladder into the next area.
Tunnel
------
In this underground passage, go straight through it and visit the Merchant
when you come to him. He'll have a couple new weapons for you this visit,
should you be interested. If not, then continue through to the end where you
can climb up a ladder and go through the door into a room. Take what you can
and save your game here, then go outside to the village.
Village of Pueblo
-----------------
Outside in the rain once more, head toward the tower and follow the path to
the left of it. There will be some Ganados coming to attack you, but a
greater threat to you are the bear traps lining the path this time around.
Shoot them out so you and Ashley don't get caught, then kill the people and
move on. When you make it to the gate, go through to the next section.
Farm
----
Here, you'll see a box near the entrance and the option to let Ashley hide
inside. It's unnecessary in this area, so let her keep following you. As you
go along the path here, you'll encounter a few villagers ready to attack. Go
inside the barn when you reach it and shoot out the bear traps, then climb up
the ladder to the upper floor. Jump out the window and follow the wooden path
to the end. Drop down and catch Ashley, then trigger the bear traps in the
way. At the gate, piggyback Ashley over and she will open the way to the next
area. Note that if you missed any blue medallions on your first run through,
they'll still be here, except the darkness will make them easier to spot.
Bridge
------
Out here, go forward and you'll find another Merchant. Then, go onto the long
bridge and Hunnigan will contact you. Following this, cross the bridge and
you'll witness another cutscene where you may be apparently trapped. You both
retreat into a nearby house.
Abandoned House
---------------
Inside this house, you will meet up with Luis once again. The Ganados are
descending upon the house in huge numbers, so now you must battle. When you
get control, the first thing you should do is push the dressers in front of
all the windows to delay the threat. Then, collect all the ammo and herbs in
the room. When the Ganados start breaking into the house, you and Luis must
destroy them all while Ashley hides upstairs.
There will be a LOT of them coming in so be alert and able to deal with
everything as it comes. It's best to alternate weapons for this battle; use
the HANDGUN or KNIFE when you're fighting a single enemy, but take the
SHOTGUN out when a group of them have amassed. Use the stairs to your
advantage too, as its narrow and a HAND GRENADE can become useful.
Occasionally, Luis may leave ammo for you to fetch, so be sure to take them.
After a while, Luis will direct you to go upstairs, so follow him up.
Upstairs, there are a few windows where Ganados can climb in with ladders.
Knock the ladders down and push dressers in front of the windows, then
continue with the resistance. After many more Ganados are dead, they will
decide to back off, and the chapter will finally end.
===========
Chapter 2-3
===========
Abandoned House
---------------
When you gain control in this scene again, go through the door to exit the
house. Run behind the house and you'll meet the Merchant yet again. If you
enter the shack next to him, you'll find the TWO ROUTES paper and a
typewriter for saving your game. To the south there are two gates and a lever
between the two. You can only pick one of them to go on for progressing, so
it's really up to you. I will cover both paths in the next few paragraphs, so
read them through and decide which road is for you that way.
Left Path
---------
In this area, shoot the explosives ahead to clear the few Ganados that may
approach you quickly. Follow the path around a few sharp turns and climb up
the ladder to an upper area. You should find a box up there; hide Ashley in
it for now. As for yourself, walk around the top part killing off the Ganados
you come across. When they're all gone, jump into the center area and a
cutscene showing 2 chain saw women will commence. When you get control again,
avoid the chain saws and climb up a ladder to the upper area. Run to a safe
spot and kill off anyone else that's up there with you. When the chain saw
women come towards you, use the SHOTGUN to quickly bring them down.
Once you defeat the chain saw attackers and everyone else, grab the Camp Key
and call Ashley back to you. Drop down to the center area of the camp and
unlock the door to continue. Further along the path inside, you'll come
across another ambush of Ganados. Defeat them and make your way to the door
so you can pass through to the new area where the path rejoins.
Right Path
----------
As a note of advice, you may want to buy that ROCKET LAUNCHER from the
Merchant if you're taking this path. Anyway, inside, go forward and another
El Gigante will jump out for you to battle. If you look above, there is a
boulder sitting on a ledge. Move back a bit so that when El Gigante is below
it, you shoot the boulder down to stun the enemy. It's the same battle plan
as last time: attack until the parasite comes out, then climb atop and stab
away! The difference this time is you have Ashley to watch out for. Either
way, when you kill it, go through the door by kicking or shooting the chains.
Collect a ton of ammo and jewels in the two buildings, as well as the OLD
KEY. Kick/shoot open the second door ahead and then use the OLD KEY to open
the way to the new area.
Safehold
--------
Regardless of the path you took, when you reach the new area, make your way
to the building on your map to the southeast. Inside, you can find the
VILLAGE'S LAST DEFENSE files, some ammo, and a typewriter for saving. You
should also visit the Merchant who is nearby, and buy the RIFLE and the SCOPE
for it sold separately if you haven't already done so. When you're ready, run
up the hill and you'll find a giant gate to the right. It is the way out of
the village, but it is locked for now. So, continue up the hill to a lift
station. Choose to get onto the lift here.
Lift
----
This particular part is where the RIFLE will really shine. While you're
riding down the lift, there are platforms coming at you on the other side,
many of them with Ganados ready to attack as you pass. With the RIFLE, you
can zoom in from a great distance and nail them all. Plus, with the RIFLE's
power, you can cut through an entire group on a platform with one shot! On
the left side atop the cliffs, there are 2 Ganados that will jump on top of
your platform and try to cut it off the line, so be sure to snipe them as
well. When you reach the bottom, you'll automatically disembark.
Lower Lift Station
------------------
Run around the platform and jump into the control room, if you want to find
some ammo. Then, continue onward to some stairs. Go down the first set and
you'll find a path going north. If you go along that path, you'll face a few
Ganados and find a YELLOW CATSEYE treasure at the end. Continuing down the
