Comprehensive walkthrough for Resident Evil 4, covering every chapter, boss fight, puzzle, and collectible. Includes tips and strategies for survival.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by finding clues in the mansion. Engage and defeat the first zombie, ensuring it's fully eliminated.
- 2Collect ammo and return to Barry. A zombie will attack; Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall.
- 3Barry 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.
- 4Deal with the zombie on the floor, collect the ribbon, and exit.
- 5In the corridor, a dog will attack; defeat it. Another dog appears further down; defeat it as well.
- 6The first door on the left is a bathroom (ignore unless Chris, then drain water for a cabinet key).
- 7Continue 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).
- 8Enter 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.
- 9Save your game, store items, collect Earth, and exit. Go upstairs.
- 10Eliminate the zombie to your left and the one behind you. Enter the door at the end of the corridor.
- 11Shoot the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
- 12Continue down the corridor, past the green doors (inaccessible yet), and shoot another zombie.
- 13Enter the unlocked door, returning to the Main Hall. Barry (Jill only) gives bazooka ammo.
- 14Locate the bazooka in the room next to the one you just exited, guarded by crows. Collect it (Chris gets clips).
- 15Exit and cross the hall to the other door, leading to the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies.
- 16Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill the two zombies by the stairs and descend.
- 17Deal 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.
- 18Continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on the right contains items (clip, shotgun shells, rusty shotgun for Chris) but is inaccessible yet.
- 19Enter the other door, shoot zombies, and head down the narrow corridor to the plant room.
- 20Use Earth on the pump to kill the plant and collect the key behind it. Use green plants if injured.
- 21Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun).
- 22Go 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

- Save frequently, especially before challenging areas or boss fights.
- If playing as Jill, the shotgun is a significant upgrade early on.
