Every roadshrine in the remake Resident Evil 4 is a chest that can only be opened with a special key. In this guide, we tell you where to find the key to the old chapel, how to find all five shrines and what’s inside.
Guides for Resident Evil 4
Each of these chests contains a relic that can be sold. Unlike locked chests that you will also find while playing the game, chests require a unique item to open – Old Wayshrine Key. Once you have it, you can open any shrine and take the treasure, insert more gems to increase the value, or just sell it to the merchant.
Where to find the “Key of the old chapel”
In the fourth chapter, you explore the Mural Cave. You need to find two stone heads to find the key and open the church. When you exit the cave to travel to the two mission-marked locations, you will find a small temple with a chest inside.
It contains the “Old Chapel Key”, which can be used to open one of the wooden chapels in the village. Just go to the Wayshrine and select the key to open it and take what’s inside.
The shrines are roughly in the order you can find them in the game, although you’ll find several of them before you get the key, forcing you to go back and collect treasure. Make sure you unlock all the wayshrines at the end of chapter 6, as you won’t be able to go back to any part of the village after chapter 7 or later.
