Learn how to easily get the 'Shield Your Eyes' Trophy in Resident Evil 4 Remake by strategically using Flash Grenades against groups of enemies.
Hey there! So you're trying to snag that 'Shield Your Eyes' Trophy in Resident Evil 4 Remake? Don't sweat it, it sounds way trickier than it actually is. Flash Grenades might not seem like much, but they're surprisingly effective, especially against enemies with their Plagas exposed. They'll even instantly kill any Crow enemies, which is super handy!
The best part is, you don't need the enemies to be actively attacking you. Chapter 3 is your golden ticket for an easy Trophy. You'll eventually reach the Church, realize you need a key, and have to head towards the lake. Stick to the path leading to the Quarry. Right before you enter the open Quarry area, whip out a Flash Grenade. Look around carefully – you'll see a bunch of Crows just chilling. These guys totally count as enemies, and yep, a single Flash Grenade will take them all out. Just aim into the middle of the flock, toss that grenade, and boom! Trophy unlocked.
- 1Head towards the Quarry in Chapter 3.
- 2Just before entering the main open area of the Quarry, equip a Flash Grenade.
- 3Look around for groups of Crows.
- 4Toss the Flash Grenade into the middle of the Crows.
- 5The explosion will kill them all, granting you the Trophy/Achievement.
But what if you've already zipped past that part of the game and are wondering about other spots? No worries! You can pretty much get this anywhere you find a good-sized group of enemies with their Plagas showing. A really solid alternative is the Armory, which you'll find after the Grand Hall. You'll need to drop down into it to grab the Lion Head. As soon as you do, multiple Knights will swarm you. Your goal here is to knock the helmets off at least three of them. Once their Plagas are exposed, toss a Flash Grenade. Easy peasy.
There's also a chance to get it during the 'Merciless Knight' Request in Chapter 11. You'll face two regular Knights and the Merciless Knight. It's a tougher fight, sure, but the same tactic applies: knock off their helmets, expose those Plagas, and then use a Flash Grenade.
Alternative Locations:
- The Armory: After knocking the helmets off at least three Knights, use a Flash Grenade when their Plagas are exposed.
- Chapter 11 Merciless Knight Request: Knock the helmets off the two regular Knights and the Merciless Knight, then use a Flash Grenade.
- Remember that Flash Grenades don't deal damage directly, but they are lethal to Crows and stun enemies with exposed Plagas, killing them instantly.
- The game doesn't specify if enemies need to be aggressive, so finding passive groups like the Crows is the easiest way.
