Introduction
Six years have passed since the destruction of Raccoon City. After narrowly surviving the shocking horrors that
occurred there, US Agent Leon Kennedy finds himself on a new mission—the most important mission of his life. The
US president’s daughter—the First Daughter—has been kidnapped. Assigned to locate the girl at all costs, Agent
Kennedy immediately begins a thorough investigation. Information is scarce, but the trail eventually leads him to a
small European village.
“Who would want to kidnap the president’s daughter? And why on earth would they bring her here?”
Hoping to find more information, Leon sets out to question the locals. But what he finds turns out to be more
than he bargained for.…
Flesh that knows no pain. Strength beyond any human. It all seemed very familiar—too familiar.
“I thought the nightmares were over…”
Something was different, however. Something about their eyes.… In spite of all the madness, there was still
something human in them.
“If they aren’t zombies, then what are they?”
“What’s going on here?”

Welcome to Resident Evil 4

Thank you for purchasing Prima’s Official Game Guide to Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo Wii game console. We’ve spared
no effort in filling this book with every morsel of information pertaining to what is unquestionably one of the greatest
action games of all time. Our guide has been crafted from scratch, tailored specifically to this latest rendition of Resident
Evil 4 for the Wii. We’re certain you’ll find this book to be an invaluable resource to have at your side as you delve steadily
deeper into the horrifying unknown.
If you missed out on the game when it released for the Nintendo GameCube back in 2005 (and later that year for the
PlayStation 2), you’re in for an extraordinary ride. Winner of just about every critical honor you can think of, including a
host of “Game of the Year” awards from gaming-industry journalists, RE4 set the standard for what a brilliantly designed
action game could achieve. The incredible gameplay advances showcased in RE4 are still marveled over today, a full two
and a half years after its initial release.
The game is aptly named, as Capcom initially plunged into its design three separate times, repeatedly scrapping the
project and starting over again until they’d finally realized what they were trying to accomplish on their fourth attempt.
Their achievements were monumental; the game continues to inspire. In short, you don’t just play Resident Evil 4—you
experience it.
So sit back and tighten your wrist strap. Dim the lights and enjoy the ride!

Surviving the Horror

Agent Leon S. Kennedy encounters all manner of hazards and horrors during his quest to save the First Daughter,
Ashley Graham. Keeping Leon and Ashley alive and in good health is of the utmost importance, and knowing how to

and every action Leon can perform, from basic movements to advanced combat tactics. Ten must-read “Surviving
the Horror” sidebars also appear throughout this section, underscoring key survival tactics and strategies. If you’ve

by some fast footwork is usually the best way to escape.
Sometimes, you may find that you’ve no better place to
fall back to. In these situations, consider moving forward,
slipping past foes to take up position somewhere beyond.
Though most hostiles are quite agile, Leon can usually run
past them as long as he doesn’t move too close. To safely
run past a group of enemies, first try to knock several of
them to the ground with a kick or short-range shotgun
blast. Then make a dash for it before they regain their
footing.

The quick turn is a vital maneuver. Press x+6 to execute

a quick turn, causing Leon to spin 180 degrees and face
whatever’s behind him. The quick turn allows Leon to check
if enemies are sneaking up behind him, or to swiftly twirl
and run from the face of danger.

Environmental Interactions
Leon can interact with his surroundings in a variety of ways. Most of these interactions can be initiated only when Leon
stands near certain objects that he can somehow use, such as doors, ladders, switches, and so on. Whenever Leon stands
near such an object, an action button hint appears at the bottom of the screen. These hints suggest the action Leon can
perform (open, climb, press, etc.), and also show you the button or combination of buttons you must press to make him
carry out the act. In some cases, you must manipulate the Wii Remote in a specific pattern instead of pressing buttons.
On the other hand, some environmental interactions are performed by more customary means. Such interactions include
smashing objects with weaponry and falling into traps. The following sections detail each of the common environmental
interactions Leon may perform.

Examining Objects
Items hidden in the environment often sparkle,
giving away their locations. Items dropped by fallen
hostiles are usually highlighted by tall shafts of
light that extend upward toward the sky. Item drops
usually disappear after 30 seconds or so; be sure to
collect them beforehand.

Combat
Leon becomes drawn into an epic life-or-death struggle shortly after he arrives in Europe. Crazed locals and terrifying
fiends lurk around every corner, each one intent on tearing him to shreds. Fortunately, Leon is a highly trained US agent and
former officer of Raccoon City’s police department. When the need arises, he’s easily capable of dealing out death just as
swiftly as his adversaries. Here we show you how to best take advantage of Leon’s impressive array of combat-related skills,
ensuring you get the most out of each and every bullet.

Surviving the Horror:

Conserve Restoratives
No matter how skilled a combatant Agent Kennedy
may be, he’s never faced adversity like the horrors he
encounters in Resident Evil 4. As Leon goes about his
mission, he invariably suffers damage, loses health,
and finds himself at risk of death. Fortunately, Leon
can collect a number of health-replenishing items if he
searches his surroundings carefully. These precious items
are somewhat rare and must be used sparingly.
Herbs are
some of the most
common recovery
items Leon finds.
They tend to
blend in with their
surroundings, so
keep a sharp lookout for them. Leon can combine certain
types of herbs in his attaché case to form more potent
blends, the most effective being a mix of one red, one
green, and one yellow herb. Refer to the “Weapons and
Items” portion of this guide for complete details on herbs
and how to blend them.
While leaving Leon or Ashley in a wounded state is
risky, it’s sometimes strategically sound. Never use a
recovery item on Leon or Ashley unless they’ll receive
its full healing properties. For example, using a first aid
spray on Leon or Ashley when their health is in the yellow
would be unwise, as these items fully restore health. Save
these powerful restoratives for when Leon or Ashley is
near death to receive their full benefit.

netting a few pesetas in the process. Use caution when battling near the merchant;
friendly fire can easily kill him. The merchant
disappears and never returns to a site after he falls
there, though he continues to appear at other
designated locations.

Weaponry and Gear

Here we disclose all information pertaining to the plethora of weapons Leon can acquire over the course of his nightmarish
adventure. Each weapon’s advantages and drawbacks are discussed, and complete upgrade tables are provided to help you
determine which firearms are most worthy of enhancement. Study up and compare each weapon’s stats to its peers until
you find the ones that best suit your style of play.

To preserve the surprise, we haven’t listed secret or unlockable weapons in this area of the guide; only weaponry
you can obtain during the initial play-through is disclosed here. For complete details on all unlockable weaponry,
refer to the “Secrets and Extras” section at the end of the guide.

Reading the Tables

A number of tables are under the following weapon sections. Together, the tables present all information
pertaining to the upgrades you may purchase for each weapon from the merchant. Here’s what each table
represents:
Firepower Upgrades: These tables illustrate the various firepower upgrades you may purchase
for each weapon. Higher firepower values mean greater damage per shot. Weapons with lots
of firepower can defeat enemies with fewer shots, helping to conserve ammo. Note that
firepower values function like multipliers; for example, each blast from a weapon with a
firepower rating of 10 inflicts five times more damage than a shot from a weapon with a
firepower value of 2.
Firing Speed Upgrades: These tables reveal the various firing speed upgrades for each
weapon. The values listed here indicate the relative speed each shot can be fired
from the weapon, in seconds. Lower values equate to faster firing speeds, which is
beneficial to weapons that feature weak firepower ratings. Some weapons have a
standard firing speed you cannot upgrade, such as shotguns, magnums, and the
rapid-fire TMP.
Reload Speed Upgrades: These tables show the various reload speed upgrades for
each weapon. Values indicate the amount of time it takes for Leon to reload
the weapon’s clip, in seconds. Lower values mean it takes less time for Leon
to reload the weapon’s clip. Shorter reload times can potentially save Leon
from being attacked while he stops to reload; this is an important stat to
consider for weapons that feature small clip capacities.
Clip Capacity Upgrades: These tables reveal the various clip capacity
upgrades for each weapon. The values listed here represent the total
number of bullets or shells you can load into the weapon’s clip.
Higher clip capacities mean you can fire more shots before you
must reload—important to rapid-fire weaponry, such as handguns
and the blazing TMP. Higher clip capacities can also potentially save
room in Leon’s attaché case, as more ammo can be stored in the
weapons. Note that each time you purchase a clip capacity upgrade
for a weapon, the merchant fills the weapon’s clip to its new
maximum capacity; this is a good way to acquire free ammo.
Exclusive Upgrades: Most weapons have a unique “exclusive”
upgrade in one particular category. These upgrades come at a
heavy price, but they often transform the weapon into a
far more valuable tool of mayhem. Consider each
weapon’s exclusive upgrade before devoting
pesetas to their enhancements; some
weapons seem unimpressive until
you take their exclusive upgrade
into account.

Handguns
Pros: Fast rate of fire; highly versatile; plentiful ammo. Cons: Low impact and damage output; accuracy suffers
against distant targets.

Handguns are small firearms that take up little space in Leon’s attaché case. Next to the combat knife, handguns are
the weakest weapons Leon can wield, but their high rate of fire and overall versatility make them reliable survival tools.
Handgun ammo is the most plentiful by far, so keep one of these weapons handy. Use handguns as often as you can; this
practice helps conserve ammunition for more powerful weaponry, such as shotguns, rifles, and magnums.

Shotguns are powerful firearms that can turn the tide of a seemingly hopeless scenario when used correctly. Designed
for use against close-range threats, shotguns fire a wide, devastating blast of shot, inflicting tremendous damage against
anything that stands within 15 feet of Leon. Unfortunately, a shotgun’s effectiveness suffers greatly when used against
enemies at range, and you cannot reload these weapons as quickly as handguns. It’s therefore best to employ shotguns only
when hostiles close in and overwhelm Leon—and to make sure you don’t miss.

Shotguns use shotgun shells,

which are hard to come by. Each
box of shotgun shells takes up two
spaces in the attaché case; one box

Rifles
Pros: Extremely powerful; great penetration and potential Cons: Slow rate of fire and reload speed; ammo is rare;
for headshot kills; very effective against long-range difficult to wield against medium and close-range
targets. threats.
Rifles are long, powerful firearms that provide tremendous accuracy against long-range targets. This is due in large part to
their scopes, which magnify distant objects, allowing the user to zoom in and sight targets from great distances. You can
buy improved scopes for rifles, further enhancing their magnification capabilities.
Rifles are valuable in a number of scenarios. Together with handguns and shotguns, rifles form the holy trifecta of
destruction. They’re best used to scan areas for hostiles, picking off threats from range before moving Leon forward to
explore the scene more thoroughly.
Avoid using rifles against close-range threats if you can; their slow rate of fire and natural scope magnification make them
difficult to wield effectively. Rifle ammo is also scarce, so make each shot count with these weapons. Take your time, aim
carefully, and try to score long-range headshots for instant kills.

All rifles use rifle ammo, which is

rare. Each box of rifle ammo takes
up two spaces in the attaché case;
one box holds up to 10 shots.

Every item that Leon or Ashley can use to replenish their health is a recovery item, also referred to as “restoratives” in this

Treasures
As Leon explores each area, he periodically discovers items of great value, such as gemstones and baubles made of precious
metals. Some of these treasures are common and plentiful, while others are nearly impossible to find if you don’t know
where to look. Each of these special prizes can be sold to the merchant for huge sums of cash, so keep a sharp lookout for
them. This guide’s maps and walkthrough reveal the locations of every treasure Leon can acquire; follow the walkthrough
carefully to ensure you don’t miss any.

Certain treasures can be combined with others to form objects of greater value. In the sections that follow, we
reveal which treasures can be merged, showing the increase in value. If a particular treasure’s section makes no
mention of combining it with other treasures, then that treasure is meant to be sold by itself.

Characters and Hostiles

A number of mysterious individuals are involved in the events surrounding the kidnapping of the First Daughter. A
far greater number of frightening monsters and fearsome fiends are also involved, each one intent on ripping Leon
to shreds for meddling in their affairs. Here we provide spoiler-free descriptions for all characters whose paths
cross Leon’s during his quest to save Ashley, along with effective combat tips and tactics to help you overcome each
terrifying hostile that Agent Kennedy encounters.

The boss battle hints and tips provided in this section should be enough to get you through. For complete
strategies, please refer to the walkthrough.

Cast
Leon S. Kennedy
Kennedy is the main character and central protagonist. Things just seem to go from bad to
worse for US Agent Leon S. Kennedy. Six years ago, against all odds, Leon narrowly managed
to survive the horrific events that transpired at Raccoon City. As a member of the Raccoon
Police Department, Leon was better equipped than most to handle the horrendous
aftershock of the T-Virus outbreak, a terrible disaster brought upon by the now-defunct
mega-corporation, Umbrella. With the city he served in ashes, Leon is forced to find new
employment as a special US operative. When the President’s daughter is kidnapped by
mysterious cultists, Leon’s incredible combat ability and proven survival skills make
him the clear candidate for the rescue mission. The trail is cold at first, but shortly after
initiating his investigation, Leon learns that the girl was recently seen in a rural European
village.

Ingrid Hunnigan
Shortly after arriving in Europe, Agent Kennedy
discovers that far more is going on than he thought.
Nightmares from his past seem to be returning: hostile,
bloodthirsty townsfolk threaten his life at every turn.
These people seem to know no fear, and there are a
lot of them. Even with his vast knowledge of military
tactics and crisis survival, Leon would be lost without
the aid of fellow US Agent Ingrid Hunnigan. A voice
of reason and firm reassurance in the darkest of
times, Agent Hunnigan periodically sends Leon satellite transmissions, talking
him through thorny scenarios and providing intel on how he should go about
accomplishing his objectives. Leon would do well to listen carefully to everything
Hunnigan has to say.

You can listen to Leon’s past transmissions with

Hunnigan at any time. Visit the “Files” portion of the
subscreen.

Ashley Graham
The first daughter of the United States,
Ashley Graham has been brazenly
kidnapped by nefarious cultists for some
unknown purpose. In an effort to prevent
nationwide alarm, the US government
decides to send only one operative to
investigate her abduction. The mission

Ada Wong is another puzzling third party, and

Though he doesn’t recognize her at first, Leon
eventually places the woman as a familiar face
from his troubled past. As with Luis Sera, Ada
Wong’s personal involvement in the plot is
uncertain. Perhaps it will become more clear after
Leon completes his mission.

have been infected by Las Plagas. The results are vicious,
highly aggressive animals called Colmillos. Fast and agile,

concealment to tackle Leon and tear out his throat. Due

The chief of the Village region, Bitores Mendez, has been

infected by the Plaga parasite and transformed into a horrific
monstrosity. Leon must defeat the chief in single combat
inside an old shed to obtain his false eye, which
enables Leon to escape the Village. Against Mendez’s
initial form, Leon must run along the shed’s upper
balcony, avoiding the monster’s pincers and pelting
it with handgun fire at every opportunity. During the

Castle Boss: Ramon Salazar Threat Level

The final conflict against Salazar is a truly frantic battle.

Leon has a number of options for the fight, and each one
presents certain advantages and drawbacks. Though time-
consuming, it’s best for Leon to drop to the bottom of
the chamber, quickly taking up position in one of the two
alcoves opposite from Salazar. This puts Leon at risk of being
attacked by the numerous Plaga spiders that skitter about
the basin, but completely removes him from the far greater
threat of being smashed by the Salazar monster’s hammering
blows. Now all Leon must do to defend himself is fire his
handgun or TMP at the Plaga spiders that regularly appear,
often causing them to drop ammo. When no Plaga spiders
are about, Leon can freely fire his handgun or TMP at the
Salazar creature’s central eye, which is its only weak spot.
After suffering a few hits to the eye, the creature opens up
and exposes Salazar himself. At this point, Leon must quickly
punish him with relentless shots from his rifle or magnum
before Salazar is tucked away again.

Having dealt a fatal blow to his old nemesis, Jack Krauser, Leon finds his path now clear. Osmond Saddler must pay for his
atrocious violations against nature and human rights, but the road to the final conflict is paved with resistance. Leon must
smash through the island militants’ fortified stronghold to finally reach Ashley, who he finds strapped down to some sort of
strange apparatus. After freeing the girl, Leon uses the surrounding equipment to rid their bodies of Las Plagas once and for all.

take down Saddler and Los Illuminados.

Chapter 3: Retrieve the Sample

Ada has a run-in with Leon inside a bedroom suite of

Salazar’s castle. When Leon gets the upper hand and starts
asking too many questions, Ada causes a distraction and
flees to the outdoor garden. Wesker contacts her shortly
thereafter, informing Ada that Luis has managed to secure
a sample of Las Plagas. He tells Ada to infiltrate the castle,
retrieve the sample from Luis, and kill Leon when the
chance permits.
