Let's share some neat things we've found in RE4 that people might not know about or have thought about doing.

- After the lake monster battle, when it's raining, that place near the lake with the wolf monsters, I like to lure them to the dock and get in the boat, then throw spears at them, it saves ammo and it's comical.
- Attempt to defeat chainsaw guys with only the knife, i've managed to get a hit in once and successfully flee, but the next time I tried I got my head cut off, i'll kill one eventually though!
- When there's a whole group of enemies coming towards me, I like to shoot one of them in the legs so they kneel over, then run up to him and kick, sending the whole group flying back.

More ideas please! I'm having a blast with this game, on my third run through, on Professional mode.

Shooting a guy carrying dynamite when he's in the middle of a crowd is always fun. So is shooting people in the knees then running up and doing a suplex.

Call me sadistic, but I get a kick out of killing merchants and burning Leon by standing underneath a lamp and shooting it. It's also fun to crawl underneath tables in Ashley's second outfit, but that's a different kind of fun.

Chicago Typewriter is fun period.

I am currently doing what one of my friends call a "Vidmaster Challenge" (history behind the name is some gamer dude called Vidmaster once beat the game Marathon with only a pistol. Or tried too. I don't remember).

ANYWAYS, I'm currently trying to beat RE4 using only a maxed out Blacktail and grenades (well, and the knife too). I'm doing rather well so far...I just got past the point with the Novistadores...

I am dreading the HELL out of the Regenerators, though. I dunno what I'm gonna do. Well, aside from die horribly.

Running outside the Cabin Scene with the Typewriter and killing everything.

You can fire randomly at them and hope you hit something. You practically have to before you get the IR sights.

TMW · « **Reply #5 on:** August 29, 2005, 10:43:37 AM »

Actually, my friend (same one) says he's tried to do that without the IR sights, and he thinks its impossible to hit the targets without them...i.e., the game requires you to get the IR sights.

vudu · « **Reply #6 on:** August 29, 2005, 10:48:28 AM »

Don't you have to dispose of the first Regenerator without the aid of the IR scope? (Unless you just run past it, which totally isn't my playing style.) Also, you can drop/sell the IR scope at any point after picking it up, so the game would be unbeatable if you couldn't defeat them with it.

TMW · « **Reply #7 on:** August 29, 2005, 10:55:26 AM »

Well, you can! It takes about 30 shotgun shells and 15 or so magnum shots...My first time through the game, I completly bypassed the IR scope, so I had to pour all my ammo into the regenerators. It was horrible.

This time, all I have is the blacktail, though.

I just fought my first regenerator the other day, it only took a few shotgun shells, I have no idea what you're talking about. Isn't it about WHERE you hit them, not how much you hit them? Perhaps I got lucky. Whatever, it seems perfectly possible to beat the game without the IR sights OR wasting all your ammo =P

vudu · « **Reply #9 on:** August 29, 2005, 11:27:11 AM »

I seem to remember it took between 8-10 shotgun blasts to the chest area to take down my first Regenerator. As KN said, it's all about where you hit them. There's usually 4 or 5 spots to aim for and they're generally in fairly predictable spots (upper right, lower left, etc). Although I imagine it will be much harder with a pistol, because you don't get the spread you get from a shotgun. Good luck.

Mario · « **Reply #10 on:** August 29, 2005, 04:52:30 PM »

I haven't played through the game with the Chicago Typewriter or any other of the fancy weapons yet, so i'm greatly looking forward to that.

Shooting people holding dynamites is indeed very fun.

About the Regenerators, isn't the first one you encounter without the scope merely a few rooms away from where the scope is anyway? If that's the one i'm thinking of, I just get the scope and then go back to it and take it's name.

Yes, crawling with Ashley is indeed a.. fun thing to do, especially with the second outfit.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #11 on:** August 29, 2005, 04:56:33 PM »

Man, with all the awesome unloackables, it feels like I'm only trying to beat it so I can play it again. Groovy.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2005, 10:19:19 PM »

Perhaps I should continue with the game. But then I only have the german version so there's probably nothing to unlock, anyway...

vudu · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2005, 09:07:15 AM »

KDR - Couldn't you get a different version? I seem to remember reading that only the copies sold in Germany were missing stuff. Surrounding countries should have the full version intact.

Dasmos · « **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2005, 11:22:13 PM »

I like shooting doors. I know it wastes ammo and allows for the baddies to get get in easily but it had become an addiction for me.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #15 on:** August 30, 2005, 11:36:07 PM »

Trying to kill the el gigante's with a knife, lol.

I got the idea when i first fought against two of them and was low on ammo, i ended up killing the last one with a knife! I stuck him in the achilles tendon, Hahahaha!.....................after needing to use about 5 herbs though......

KDR_11k · « **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2005, 12:27:22 AM »

vudu: I can but that'll cost money again. Or do you mean back when I bought it? It would have been possible I think (I was very close to the austrian border back then) but I didn't know the other versions in Europe were uncut. There's also a store in town here that sells games you can get in other european countries, like God of War.

Toruresu · « **Reply #17 on:** September 13, 2005, 08:56:58 AM »

How about diferent ways of killing Ashley? lol

That's fun...

Due to a recent error, I will now change that quote to: "I only need to beat this game twice so I can play it again. God dammit."

Edit: blol, no one's going to understand that. I saved over my old file with another round 1game.

ARGH. The same thing happened to me. I finished it and started another file, but on Professional.

I still play every now and then, but I stopped when I realized that I couldn't beat the second El Gigante. I beat the sisters with chainsaws (forgot their names), so I went back to go through the El Gigante's path, but I can't beat him. I keep missing the rock...it hits Ashley.

lol

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #21 on:** September 13, 2005, 12:05:37 PM »

Yeah, fortuantley I started another Normal game. I'm personally challenging myself to conserve as much money as possible while beating it as fast as possible, I'm hoping that by the time I finish this game I can tackle the round 2 on Professional mode (I definitley wasn't ready before, I'm doing much better this time.)

The only danger is that I might get sick of the game after beating it twice in a row like that

I still need to beat Assignment Ada and try to get four stars on every Mecenaries level (eventually I'll do the five star every level every character challenege, but not for a while...)

Toruresu · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2005, 12:09:26 PM »

Assignment Ada...now THAT brings memories. I had to finish it by cheating (anyone watch G4? Cheat! once had a RE4 show, and they showed a way to easily kill Krouser at the end, and that's what I did lol).

Mercenaries is extremely fun, but for me...well, let's just say that I can only get two stars with Leon. So I still...don't have any other character...Yeah, I suck.

lol

oohhboy · « **Reply #23 on:** September 14, 2005, 04:37:45 AM »

For Toruresu

Play with Leon on the milatry stage. His shotgun is reasonably against J.J. It should be relatively easy to unlock Hunk from that level.

Then use Hunk to open up Ada in the village with Hunk by using neck breaker on the sisters. Hand Genades is your best friend here.

Then use Ada in Water World. Her weapons are effective against Mr Chainsaw.

Lastly use Wesker from Water World to clear the castle. Use the Killer 7 on the Galdiator. one in front then finsh with another in the back.

As to unlocking the hand Cannon. Well thats up to how much skill you can muster. Good Luck.

Fun things to do.

Look up Ashleys dress to see how many phrases she has.
Do the same thing with a sniper rifle to see how much detail Capcom put in. Suprisingly detailed .
Playing with just the IRL .
Suplexing everyone for an entire level.

Thanks. I'll try it out tonight and see what I can do.
