Resident Evil 4 Beginner’s Guide – Where to find save files, how to find a silencer, medallions and more

redo Resident Evil 4 is different from the re-releases of the second and third parts of the series. It turned out to be much closer to a classic shooter than to a relaxed horror with slow zombies. At the same time, there is the need to conserve ammunition and make wise use of the resources you have left over. Our guide will help you understand all the intricacies of the game.

For example, there are achievements that are given if you don’t use first aid kits, don’t talk to a trader, or only use a gun and a knife in battle. We recommend leaving them on New Game+. During the first passage, it is better to pay attention to the study of locations and the tactics of the behavior of local opponents. More details about all the rewards and ways to get them, we told in a separate article.

You can buy maps with their location from a merchant. By selling valuables you can get a lot of extra pesetas, which are worth spending on weapon upgrades. When you have reached the desired point on the map and the treasure is nowhere to be found, look up carefully. There will most likely be. We told about the location of all such valuables in the thematic guide.

It is better not to sell green, yellow and red stones separately, but to put them in complex jewelry, for example, in a crown. In this case, the price of the treasure will increase several times.

They are marked on blue sheets next to his tent. We have devoted a separate manual to passing on additional tasks.

Thanks to them, you will receive special bonuses that affect the prices in your local store.

In the first case, the effectiveness of the treatment will noticeably increase, and in the second, you will increase the maximum level of health. Separately, green grass should be used only in extreme cases.

For example, it makes no sense to pump a basic pistol and a rifle. We recommend buying the best firearm first and only then start pumping.

But if the weapon you upgraded wasn’t as effective as you’d like, you can sell it. This way you can get back most of the money spent.

Enemies will often engage in close combat with you. If you press the button responsible for a knife attack shortly before an enemy attack, you will parry. In this case, the enemy will be stunned. He will become helpless for a short time, which you can use to finish him off completely.

Besides parrying, there are other ways to avoid melee damage: use dodge or block. However, they do not affect the opponents in any way, who will attack you again and again. Therefore, it is better to learn how to reflect their blows and hit back.

Don’t go into battle without an urgent need, and if you must fight, shoot the hands that hold throwing weapons. If the enemy holds a torch in his hands, it will light up and an explosion of the Molotov cocktail will occur.

When you stop, aim your weapon at the enemy’s face and wait a few seconds, the sight will noticeably decrease. If you shoot at this time, you will most likely deal critical damage.

He doesn’t look formidable, but he’s actually one of the most dangerous opponents in the early game, despite being able to parry his attacks. Try to get rid of him first and only then deal with ordinary opponents.

It allows you to blind a crowd of enemies and painlessly launch a few melee attacks. Farmers who have a huge growth instead of a head will immediately die from your “flash drive”.

If the enemy fell and began to squirm and no prey fell from him, then soon he will rise again and be much stronger than before. However, while the enemy is on the ground, you have the option to run up to him and stab him in the neck with a knife. In this case, the mutation is interrupted and the farmer dies completely.

Stealth throughout the game will not work, but in some levels you will have the opportunity to sneak up on the enemy from behind and stab them. Don’t neglect this opportunity.

Dodge them or shoot them from a distance. If the girl is dragged outside the location, the game is over.

Use the simplest pistol or a stun grenade if you have many. For every dead bird you will be rewarded with money.

In a nameless Spanish village that seems stuck in time and lives according to the laws of the Middle Ages. It was there that representatives of the Los Illuminados cult took the daughter of the President of the United States named Ashley Graham. Next to this village you will find a huge Gothic castle and modern laboratories where experiments with biotechnology are regularly conducted.

Path to save:

[SteamID] – your unique number, which is displayed in the menu of your account.

If you installed Steam in a different folder, navigate to it.

There are three types of shotguns in the game:

Hunting rifle W-870 can be found in chapter 1. There is a building north of the square, next to the tower. Go to the second floor. The weapon hangs on the wall.

Riot gun will be available from the merchant in the 6th chapter. The price is 28,000 pesetas, but we highly recommend buying and upgrading it.

Attacker also bought from the dealer. You need to go to the 10th chapter. The price is 36,000 pesetas.

There are a total of 29 weapons in the game. In the thematic guide we tell you where to find them.

There is no such upgrade in Resident Evil 4 Remake. The silenced gun was found in the original game by Albert Wesker in the “Mercenaries” mode. At the moment it has not been added to the remake.

These items are needed by the merchant. In return, you will receive Spinels, which can be exchanged for unique items and yellow grass, which increases the maximum level of your hero’s health. We have dedicated a separate guide to looking for medallions.
