INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to my FAQ. As you probably know, Resident Evil 4 isn't actually the
4th game, but is still a great game. The previous style for the RE games has
been change in some significant ways. The camera is always behind you. Also
you can perform action commands. But things that really stick out are the
weapons system similar to that of Dino Crisis 2 and that of advanced techniques.
Instead of no more than 4 zombies at once, you're up against 20 villagers
who just want to rip you apart for the Great Lord Saddler. This FAQ will
give you information on all weapons of the game, all special attacks of the
game, and the best strategies when given certain situations. Each weapon is
unique and can be exploited to your advantage differently. Read on to learn
all about this new Combat System...

Comments and Rating: 6/10. You start with it. Aim for the head.

  for quick kills.

  use it on smaller groups. Upgraded, it will be useful all game.

Total Price: 272000

Comments and Rating: 6.5/10. Slightly better than the handgun,
  but I stil would pick the Red9. Later though with it's
  exclussive, you can take on a lot more enemies at once
  so treat it as a shotgun.

Total Price: 434000
Other Upgrades: None
Comments and Rating: 8/10. Ties with the Red9. It has superior
  Firing Speed and Capacity but lacks in Firepower compared to
  the Red9. I would recomend buying one of these though. It can
  be fun to use. It is better for quick shooting.

Name: Broken Butterfly
Description: A Revolver
Ammo: Magnum Bullets
Dimensions: 2x4

Comments and Rating: 9/10. "It's about reloadin'." This gun
  rocks. Though costly, it can kill most bosses really quick.
  It looks sweet and reloading is addictive. Save, then go on
  a killing spree with it, very satisfying.

Price: 77700 (Get it?, 777 for luck)
Total Price: 337700
Other Upgrades: None
Comments and Rating: 8.5/10. A good gun, but very costly.
  It's no exclussive makes behind some of the other guns.
  It still is very good as a boss killer. If you don't want
  to upgrade the Butterfly, buy this.
Note: There is a title by Capcom coming up called "Killer 7"

Name: Shotgun
Description: A standard shotgun
Ammo: Shotgun Shells
Dimensions: 2x8
Firepower: 4.0, 4.5(15000), 5.0(20000), 6.0(25000), 7.0(30000)

Comments and Rating: 7/10. The first shotgun you get. It is very
  useful against larger crowds of enemies and tougher enemies.

  gun has a much longer range.

Accuracy: Medium
Price: 32000
Total Price: 415000
Other Upgrades: None
Comments and Rating: 8/10. A Good well balanced shotgun. It is very
  useful and I would suggest keeping it the whole game. It has good
  firepower and Firing Speed. It blast enemies way back and has a
  higher chance of critical hit than the Shotgun. Good on Bosses
  when Magnums aren't available.

Name: Striker

Other Upgrades: None
Comments and Rating: 8.5/10. A great shotgun. It takes less room,
  has more firepower, shoots faster, you name it. With exclussive,
  you can have 100 shells at once. It is great against enemies or
  bosses. It also is very cheap despite the higher initial cost.

Name: Rifle

Other Upgrades: Scope (7000)[1x3], Thermal Scope (Found in Lab only)*
  [1x3]
Comments and Rating: 7.5/10. A good Sniper Weapon. Though you have
  to cock it after each shot, it is the more powerful of the 2 rifles.
  Though reload time is high, when using it that should be a problem.
  I used the entire game my first time through.

Name: Rifle (Semi-Auto)

Ammo: Rifle Ammo

Accuracy: Insanely High
Price: 35000
Total Price: 361000
Other Upgrades: Scope (10000)[1x3], Thermal Scope (Found in Lab Only)*
  91x3]
Comments and Rating: 8.5/10. A good Sniper Weapon. It's advantage over
  the other Rifle is it is Semi-Auto. Though not as powerful, you can
  fire it a lot quicker, especially after the exclussive. REALLY useful
  in Mercaneries.

*This "Thermal Scope" can supposally be used to see parasites in bosses
  bodies and kill them very quick.

Name: TMP

Accuracy: Low
Price: 15000
Total Price: 339000
Other Upgrades: Stock (4000)[2x2]
Comments and Rating: 7/10. The only machine gun in the game that you can
  acquire with easy. It's relatively weak but it's ammo is plentiful. On
  the otherhand you use it quick. Good against large crowds, bad against
  bosses (since you don't want to waste all your ammo).
  I suggest getting the stock.

Name: Minethrower

Ammo: Mine Darts

Other Upgrades: Scope(8000)[2x2]
Comments and Rating: 8/10. I love this gun. Alright what it does is
  shoots a mine with a timer. It blinks red and beeps for about 5
  seconds then BOOM. Though not powerful, the blast kills lots things
  around it. Get the Scope and Exclussitize it and you have a very
  sweet and fun weapon. Save, and shoot Ashley in the head, it's fun
  to watch.

Accuracy: Medium
Price:N/A
Total Price: N/A
Other Upgrades:None
Comments and Rating: 5/10. It's your knife. It's weak but you
  always have it and it take no room. Use to break boxes or slash
  people to kick them. Other than that it's just cool to have.

Price: 30000
Total Price: 30000
Other Upgrades: None
Comments and Rating: 6.5/10. 6.5?!?! It's a Rocket Launcher! Yea
  well for the room it takes, and the fact you only get 1 shot,
  makes more of a burdern than a savior. It does kill most bosses
  with it's shot or pretty close to it. But it's not so hot as it's
  other 2 varients.

Name: Rocket Launcher Special
Description: Same as rocket launcher, but with a red rocket
Ammo: None

Comments and Rating: 6.5/10. 6.5?!?! It's a Rocket Launcher! Yea
  well for the room it takes, and the fact you only get 1 shot,
  makes more of a burdern than a savior. It does kill most bosses
  with it's shot or pretty close to it. You get in the final fight with
  Saddler from Ada. You can keep it but it's kind of pointless to do so.
  Hmmm... doesn't this look familiar?

Name: Spear
Description: A Throwable Spear
Ammo: None
Dimensions: None
Firepower: Medium (Number Unknown)
Firing Speed: ~1.5
Capacity: Infinite
Exclusive: N/A
Accuracy: High
Price: N/A
Total Price: N/A
Other Upgrades: None
Comments and Rating: 7/10. This is only usable on the boat. The only time you
  ever really use it is to kill the Lake Monster Del Lago. Just keep throwing
  them, infinite spears. It's fun to use, just it can be hard to aim with them.
  After the fight, it's the best way to kill Fish, which can be easy health.

Comments and Rating: 9.5/10. A great weapon. A rocket launcher with infinite

  I suggest the Chicago Typewriter first.

(OW)

These aren't actually guns but are still weapons acquired throughout
the game. They have no numerical values.

Note that you can hold as many of these as you want, as long as you
have the room. Each egg or grenade takes up the given dimensions, so
don't be afraid to use a few if they get overabundant

Name: Egg (White, Brown, or Gold)
Description: An Egg (either White, Brown, or Gold)
Ammo: Eggs
Dimensions: 1x1
Strength: Weak
Lethal: No
Sell Price: White- 300
           Brown- 600
           Gold - 3000
Rating, Uses, and Comments: 3/10. Stick to eating them. You are much
  better off. They can be used by throwing them at an enemies face to
  stun them, allowing you to kick them or something, but don't bother
  unless you're bored. It is pretty funny though.
Note: Eggs are alos health items. White gives about 1.5 health segments,
  Brown gives as much as a Green Herb, and Gold is full health.

Name: Flash Grenade
Description: A Blue Grenade
Ammo: Flash Grenades
Dimensions: 1x2
Strength: Weak
Lethal: No
Sell Price: 500
Rating, Uses, and Comments: 7.5/10. A good way to stun a huge group of enemies
  if you're low on ammo or just need to run away. They're pretty abundant
  so you'll usually have at least one lying around. Good for bosses too.
  Also, they can be used to instantly kill a La Plaga enemy instantly
  (assuming the Plaga is exposed).

Name: Incendiary Grenade
Description: A Red Grenade
Ammo: Incediary Grenades
Dimensions: 1x2
Strength: Medium
Lethal: Yes
Sell Price: 1000
Rating, Uses, and Comments: 8/10. A grenade that explode on impact with flames.
  Good against most enemies and bosses. Try to hit the middle of a group.
  Usually kills common enemies in one grenade.

Name: Hand Grenade
Description: A Green Grenade
Ammo: Hand Grenades
Dimensions: 1x2
Strength: High
Lethal: Yes
Sell Price: 2000
Rating, Uses, and Comments: 9/10. What can I say? It bounces once or twice,
  then has a big BOOM. Pretty useful against most bosses and enemies.
  Common throughout the game.

(BG)

Handguns: I personally prefer the Red9. It has great fire
  power and great accuracy. Though costly, it is one of the
  funnest weapons in the game. You can beat the game without
  it, but on a 2nd try through, it owns most enemies for
  the 1st half of the game. It has a great critical hit chance
  and a good rate of fire. The reload speed is also pretty cool.
  The gun is kind of Star Wars looking, but good stuff.

Shotguns: I go with the Striker. Superior in everyway. Takes
  less room, holds more ammo, not too costly, higher strength,
  Quick reload, you name it. It, again, is a gun that you could
  beat the game without, but it is highly effective against any
  enemy or boss. The Striker earns my shotgun of recomendation,
  especially with a 100 shell max capacity.

Machine Guns: Well since there's only 1 (normal)... the TMP. This gun
  isn't a great thing, but not a bad one. It's good for hosing down
  crowds of people. The only problem is the ammo can get low in supply.
  But in all it's a decent gun but is not a necesity for beating the game.

Rifles: I personally prefer the Rifle (Semi-Auto). Despite it's slightly
  lower strength than the Rifle, it has an amazing rate of fire. It can
  be used from Short to long distances. It also kills most any
  enemy within 1-4 shots. Ammo isn't that rare either. The Thermal
  scope allows eay kills to the Regenerators and even some bosses.

Magnums: Despite what others say, my choice is the Broken
  Butterfly. Reasonbeing is that it becomes much more powerful
  than Killer7. It is very costly but the BB can kill most
  bosses within 8 shots (most less than that). It also works
  well in an emergency in which you need to kill something really fast.
  Other people tend to forget that fact that the Killer7
  has no Exclussive.

Mine Throwers: Since again there is only 1, I go with the Mine
  Thrower. It is a decent weapon that shoot darts that can home
  and then explode. It is very good a for a group of charging villagers
  who aren't quite at you yet. It also is very cheap to upgrade and
  kills most normal enemies instantly.

Rocket Launchers: The Infinite Launcher. The other two rocket
  launchers are one time use. This baby has infinite ammo and
  destroys anything within a few shots. It is highly effective
  against Bosses, medium ranged enemies, and tougher enemies.

HandCannons: Since there is only 1, I pick the HandCannon.
  Though it is very hard to get and cost a ton of money
  to upgrade, this is easily one of the best weapons not just
  in RE4 but the entire RE series. Infinite Ammo and
  99.9 Firepower... need I say more?

Secret Machine Guns: I absolutely adore the Chicago Typewriter.
  Though it is very exspensive, the infinite ammo, 0.10 fire rate,
  with firepower 10.0 makes this gun pretty much THE best gun in the
  entire game. It is effective against EVERYTHING. The only thing it
  can't do is shoot long distances, so as long as you keep a Rifle
  on hand, you can anything. It also helps kill Regenerators if a
  Thermal Scope is not acessible.

Description: Krausers mutated Arm (has a weird wing and blade)
Who uses it?: Krauser
How to Perform: When Krausers Arm glows red, hit X to

Rating: 9.5/10

Attack: Kick (Powerful)
Who uses it?: Krauser
How to perform: When someone is flinching, run up to them and hit A
  when the action button appears. Krauser will do a double kick.
  Unlike the other kicks, this one almost always decapitates and can
  decapitate a ton of people around. It is also a one-hit kill.
Rating: 8.5/10

Attack: Knee
Who uses it?: Krauser
How to Perform: Slash someone low to get them on one knee (the bow is
  too powerful to shoot them). When on one knee, go up to them and hit
  A when the action command appears. You will do an instant kill decap
  on a single victum only.
Rating: 7/10

Attack: Thrust Punch
Who uses it?: Wesker (ahhh the RE:CVX days...)
How to perform: When someone is flinching, run up to them and hit A

Rating: 8/10

Attack: Neck Breaker
Who uses it?: HUNK
How to perform: When someone is flinching, run up to them and hit A
  when the action button appears. HUNK will do a Necksnapper.

  kill only one person at a time.
Rating: 7.5/10

Attack: Kick (Low)
Who uses it?: Leon and HUNK
How to Perfrom: Shoot an enemy in the foot. They will go on one
  knee. Hit the action command to do a kick to send them flying.

Rating: 6/10

Attack: Suplex
Who uses it?: Leon
How to Perfrom: Shoot an enemy in the foot. They will go on one
  knee. Hit the action command QUICKLY up close to do a supplex.
  Sometimes decapitates, only kills one. If you do it too slow, you'll
  do the Kick (low). Also if not a decap, it doesn't kill. This also
  cannot be performed until the Castle or later.
Rating: 7/10
Info thanks to: DWash3085

Attack: Chikyo Chagi
Who uses it?: Wesker
How to Perfrom: Shoot the foot of an Enemy. This causes them to
  go on a knee. Go up and hit A when the action command appears.

  It decapitates the initial victum.
Rating: 9/10
Info thanks to: DWash3085

Attack: Shove
Who uses it?: Ashely
How to perform: When grabbed, spin the control stick to shove the
  enemy off you. The faster you spin, the less damage you take.
  Does no damage.
Rating: 5/10

Attack: Throw (Lantern)
Who uses it?: Ashley
How to perform: Go up to a table with a Lantern. When the Action
  Command appears, hit A to throw the lantern and temporarily stun
  an enemy. Doesn't actually do much damage.
Rating: 6.5/10

Attack: Kick (Defense)
Who uses it?: Everyone
How to perform: When grabbed from the front, twirl the control stick
  as fast as you can. If you do it fast enough, you take less damage
  and kick them in the face. Even faster, and you decapitate them
  while doing it.
Rating: 8/10

Attack: Elbow (Defense)
Who uses it?: Everyone
How to perform: When grabbed from the back, twirl the control stick
  as fast as you can. If you do it fast enough, you take less damage
  and elbow them in the face. Even faster, and you decapitate them
  while doing it. It is harder this way though.
Rating: 7.5/10

Attack: Knock Down (Latter)
Who uses it?: Everyone
How to perform: After climbing certain latters, look at it and hit
  A whent the "Knock Down" command appears. Doesn't really do damage,
  but can keep you safe as long as you keep knocking it down. Use safety
  of your height to your advantage, such as throwing grenades or just
  picking people off one by one.
Rating: 6.5/10

Attack: Open (Door)
Who uses it?: Everyone AND Ashley
How to Perform: Go up to a door. When the Open command appears, hit
  A twice very fast. You will kick (or shove if you're Ashley) the door
  open, knocking back anyone in the way. The only downfall is anyone
  chasing you has an extra second to attack you.
Rating: 6.5/10.

  he yells and pain and falls to his knees.
How to perform: At this point go up to him and hit A to climb. Then
  a response cinema will occur. Keep hitting A or B (which ever shows)

  kill the big guy.
Rating: 8/10.

Attack: Stab (Defense)
How to activate: Get grabbed by El Gigante
How to Perform: Spin the the Control stick as much as fast as possible.

Now for one of the greatest parts of the guide. This part contains
a lot of potential spoilers. I will mention specific parts of the game,
And note what weapons will be most useful. I will also give general
strategies for fighting enemies and such. This is what makes this guide
superior, how to use all the above given knowledge. This information
can also be used to work in The Mercaneries as well.

As a Note, more strategies are always welcome. Just email me at the
adress shown at the bottom of the FAQ.

These are based on 1st time goers who don't have any super weapons
or such and actually need strategy.

So if you have any of the super weapons, here are you strategies:
-Stop reading now and just shoot things. Having super weapons requires
  virtually no strategy at all. Everything dies very very quick.

In case you didn't know, the villagers and such speak Spanish.

Alright now on to the actual strategies.

[---***EARLY-GAME-STRATEGIES***---]

Alright, it's the begining of the game. What do you have? A handgun,
that's all. Now at first you're gonna want to go on a killing spree
with this new combat system, but you'll have to wait. Just because
it's early, doesn't mean that you'll have an easy road. As a matter
of fact you'll probably die within the 1st 20 minutes of play if
you're just starting. You want to go and just and shoot shoot shoot.
I did that, died real quick. So here's the deal. Until you find the
Shotgun in the one building when you first enter the Village, try to
avoid enemies. Also make SURE that you find your way into a corner or
such so that all enemies can only come in one direction. If you have
any grenades, use them when a crowd gets thick. If not, then shoot
one guy in the head, then perform a kick. This should knock a lot of
people over. Use this to your advantage. Shoot them on the ground, or
use it to escape. In the begining, enemy groups will vary but be
relatively small compared to later. Now for Chainsaw guys. These guys
take a lot more shots than normal people. If they get close, instant
death. Keep away. Throw Grenades, use the shotgun, or just run. They
can be very very hard.

Now just a bit further but still around 2-1 areas....

Alright by now you should have a Shotgun at least. I recomend buying
a Rifle. A TMP is nice but with limited space, you can do without. I
also suggest buying more space as soon as it's available so you can
hold more. There will be times when you will have to pick what weapon
to use. If an enemy is at longer range, use the Rifle to take him out.
If there is a group take as many as you can out with the rifle until
they reach you. If the crowd is 6 or less, take them out with the Handgun.
If you've acquired a Punisher, that works even better. 7 or more, go with
the shotgun. Aim for the head, and wait for them to get as close as they're
going to get then fire. You should decapitate 1 or 2 of them. Now try to
fire at them on the ground with the Shotgun or Handgun, whichever you
prefer. You can even Knife if it tickles your fancy. NEVER LET THEM
SURROUND YOU.

[---***MID-GAME-STRATEGIES***---]

Alright this would be about 3-1 to about 4-2 range...

Many of the previous strategies work but listen anyway. By this time
you have Ashley. Ashely will duck if you aim at her, but make sure she
is down before you fire. By this time you'll have a much bigger case.
If you have not bought one, buy a Riot Gun and a Red9. The Red9 will
last you until the end of the game easily. Enemies are much tougher
and you must adapt or be killed. Alright Ashley is very fragile so
one shot kills her. She takes more damage from enemies. You shouldn't
waste yellow herbs on her until your health is maxed out. She only needs
5 to get max health anyway. If you're gonna leave Ashley, make sure she
is safe. NEVER LEAVE ASHLEY CLOSE TO AN EXIT. If she gets grabbed, you're
screwed.

By this point in the game, you've probably got a good hang on how things
work. Watch out for the more Parasitic Enemies. There are 3 kinds. One
Just a weird eyes with swinging scythe type tentacle. The next is an
actual La Plaga that jumps of the head when shot. The third is a thick
looking version of the first, but it can bite your head off for instant
death. Though they appear a little earlier, you must be ready. If you
decapitate an enemy an he's still walking, he can still grab you. This
also indicates that a La Plaga might burst out of their head at any moment.
As the game goes, you'll notice red barrels. These are full of gun powder.
Shoot them and they go BOOM. Try to get as many enemies by one these as you
can and shoot it. Kills most common enemies quick. NOW if you encounter this
one type of enemy I like to Call "Edward Scissor Hands", be ready. These
guys have HUGE Claws and swing like mad, enough to kill you quickly. The
thing is, they have no eyes, they've been torn out. Their only real weakness
is they Growth on thier back. This can be hard to shoot. Usually there's a
bell in the room. If so, hit it with your knife. He will charge at it
(so run!) and get his hand stuck in the wall. Use the most powerful gun you
have and blast him in the sweet spot. If no bell is around, throw a Hand
Grenade or an Incendary Grenade. Another enemy is the Novistadors. These
are bug creatures. They are first found in the sewers. They can be invisible
and very hard to see. Look for the slight dust they give off when idle. Also,
your laser pointer shows up even when they are invisible. They aren't too
dangerous alone, they cna be taken out with about 12 handgun rounds. It
is really fun to kick them. In groups they can be hard because of their
agility. They often drop treasures called "[Color] Eye". These can
be Green, Red, or Blue. They are used in the pearl lamps as add ons,
but still can add up to be a lot of cash.

[---***LATE-GAME-STRATEGIES***---]

Alright Chapter 5 through Final....

The enemies in this chapter are much harder now. Only the Red9
and Blacktail will be good as handguns. The others are too weak.
You can still use the Riot Gun, but I highly recomend a Striker
by now. In the shop, a Kevlar vest should become available, BUY
IT! A Minethrower wouldn't be a bad idea if you have gotten the
Largest Case. So ok you're on an Island looking for Ashley. You'll
come across some new enemies, but they aren't much different from
the past enemies. On a note though, some enemies have very painful
stun batons which can be heard as they make a buzzing noise
constantly. You'll also come across and enemy I like to call the
"Fat Rambo". It's a fat gun with a huge minigun (Big Machine Gun).
Don't use the shotgun, he'll hit you with his gun if you get too
close. Try to use the Rifle, or the Rifle (Semi-Auto) if you have it,
on him and aim for the head. Do this a few times and he should go
down. His gun isn't one hit kill but it still does a ton. Around this
time you will find by far the freakiest RE enemies of all time. These
are called "Regenerators". They are humanesque grey monsters with
a creepy breathing noise. They are near invincible without the right
tool. You find a Thermal Scope that goes on either Rifle so use it.
It allows you to see his weak points, so you can kill him in 5 shots.
Later there are spiked versions of these freaks that are even harder
and more dangerous.

Ok now by this time in the game, you should buy yourself a magnum.
If cash is plentiful, get a Broken Butterfly. If not get the Killer7.
The Butterfly is potentially much more powerful. So it becomes very
useful against bosses. Also, it can take out Regenerators with 2 shots
just incase you didn't get that Thermal Scope. If you still got your
Thermal Scope, keep it. It can be used on Bosses to find their weak
points as well. As for common enemies, stick with the normal scope.
Also, be careful, as Response Scenes are very frequent towards the end.
When you first meet Krauser, you literally have 6 in one sequence.
If you miss one you die. I died like *cough*16*cough* times my first
time. I don't suck or anything but I wasn't expecting so many. 2nd time
though. So just be ready. And as for the ending of the game, it's
really easy to get used to the Jet-Ski Controls. Besides you use it
only for less than 2 minutes anyway.

[---***2ND-TIME-QUICK-STRATEGIES***---]

Just a few things about your second time through:
-Since you still have good guns, save them.
-Try to spend as little as possible. Use the money to save up for
  expensive items.
-Beat Assignment Ada before your 2nd time through. (There is a great
  FAQ for that posted here at GamwFAQS)
-Sell Yellow Herbs (they have no point after you max out your and
  Ashley's Health).
-You know what to do, try to do it faster or just have fun killing
  everything.
-In the very very first little area of the game, where the car
  drops you off, enemies heads will not explode for some odd
  reason.
-Pick up the older weapons and such and sell them. Also sell
  ammo if it gets over-abundant.
-Explore more, there are extra cutscenes one tends to miss 1st
  time through.

[---***GENERAL-STRATEGIES***---]
-Enemies with dynamite explode when they die, kill them first. This
  kills many enemies around them.
-Red Barrels (Donkey Kong anyone?) explode when shot. Get enemies by
  one and shoot to kill most of them and leave the rest severally
  wounded.
-Flash Grenades instantly kill an Exposed La Plaga (the thing that bursts
  from an enemies head).
-Some Ganados are stupid enough to walk across trip wires and explode, but
  they can walk over Bear Traps without setting them off. Try to lure
  enemies to a trip wire. It's fun, saves ammo, and funny to watch.
-A Rocket can kill an El Gigante in about 1 shot (usually). You get
  15000 for killing it, so you only lose 15000.
-When grabbed from behind by a dynamite guy, they explode when you elbow
  them and they hit the ground, though it does not hurt you.
-Chainsaw people can kill you with one swing, so watch out. Scissor hands
  can massacre you if you get stuck in a corner. Fat Rambo can get you
  from a huge distance, so take him out ASAP.
-Enemies can hurt other enemies if they get in the way of attacks.
-Remeber to always check around for items and don't be afraid to use
  a knife if necessary.

[---***BOSS-STRATEGIES***---]

I am aware I just have the bosses listed, I am still putting together
strategies for each. Every day more information is recieved, so I have
to be ready new strategies. Look at the Special Attacks section for
extra details on killing bosses.

--------Boss: Del Lago

Alright you fight Del Lago in a boat. All you have is spears, but
they are unlimited so keep on throwing them. Steer the boat to avoid
floating trees. Should you be knocked off, hit A as fast as you can
since you die if you don't. After hitting him with several spears,
an actions sequence comes up in which you aim a speat for his mouth.
MAKE SURE TO HIT HIS MOUTH DURING THIS TIME. Basically keep this
up and you're good to go. You may need to use a health item, so
shoot some fish BEFORE the fight, then if they are unused, sell them
to the merchant after the battle for an easy few thousand pesetas.
Not much else to say, you can only use the spear so even if you have
awesome weapons they are of no use.

--------Boss: El Gigante
  Note: You fight him on several occasions, and this tells you how to kill
     one with out using one of the Special Boss Attack Methods.

Okay here we go. Alright, in a nutshell, he can be very tough. I highly
recomend either a shotgun or a magnum, if a rocket launcher is not available.
(Since it kills him in one shot). Alright, this battle you must run forward,
shoot him in the face a few times, then retreat to a safe distance. At a safe
distance use a rifle if you have one, as it usually is the most powerful
early in the game. So after some repeatage of this, he will cry out in
pain and fallto his knees. Then the parasite comes out of his back. Either
run up to him andhit A to do the Climb command OR just shoot the freaky
parasite. If you have powerful guns and ammo to match, shoot him, if not,
cut him up. After a while he should go down. Be ready to dodge his attacks
and if he grabs you, spin the control stick as fast as possible.

--------Boss: Chief Mendez (aka the huge Bearded Man)

***COMING SOON***

--------Boss: Ramon Salazars Right Hand Man... or Thing

Well you don't HAVE to kill him, but it is possible. Alright
so you're walking down the hallway when a cutscene shows him running into the
room. You wil have to dodge him many times before you reach the very end. Go to
the very end and turn on the power for the elevator. Then try to unlock the door
you came in at. You will have to wait a bit. Then he drops down and starts to
attack. Freaky guy huh? Anyway lure him by the Tank that says "Throw" or "Grab"
to freeze him. Then either unload the Shotgun on him point blank or just run.
You either survive for 4 minutes or kill him. I suggest just running since the
ammo needed is insane. OIIJinKazamaIIO says that if you run around the table by
the elevator and just be ready to dodge when the command appears, you can
survive quite easily.

--------Boss: Ramon Salazar

Now you're probabbly wondering "What they heck does Spanish have to
do with combat?". Honestly I don't blame you, I'd do the same. So I
will explain myself.

The enemies of the game speak Spanish. Sometime they dictate their
actions in Spanish. If you know Spanish, you might know what they're
up to. If not then you have to wait and find out. They tell each other
what to do, so if you understand them, you can use the knowledge to
your advantage and make some battles easier. Try and always listen for
thier voices. It helps you figure out where they are and what they plan
to do to kill you.

I also added a few other translations just for the heck of it.

(FAQ)

Q: How come the Tommy Gun is called "Chicago Typewriter"?
A: That was it's nickname in Chicago so they decided to use it.
  On a more historical note, it was the .45 Thompson used in
  WWII against the Nazis. Games like "Castle Wolfensteinn"
  and "Medal of Honor" contain them.

Q: How on Earth am I supposed to get 1000000 pesetas?
A: Collect a ton of treasure. Combine the combinable ones to
  earn more cash. Also try selling all your guns when you're
  ready. Try to use as few guns as possible, then sell the ammo
  for the guns you don't use.

Q: Sometimes when I play, I get an error message. What do I do?
A: This is caused by the earlier Gamecubes. Not to worry. Simply
  open the disc cover and spin the disc and close it. Do this all
  with the system on. This should fix the error for a while.

Q: I upgraded my Shotgun a few times, should I sell it and get the Riot Gun?
A: Yes. Try to do this as often as possible, since the higher class weapons
  are more efficient and will benefit you more.

Q: How come this "Combat FAQ" has guns?
A: This FAQ's focus is everything used to attack your enemies. This includes
  everything from guns, their upgrades, physical attacks, to eggs.

Q: Is RE5 going to have the same system for weapons?
A: It is very possible. This game got high ratings so as the saying goes
  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Q: There is another FAQ that has guns, what makes this one better?
A: The other FAQ is incomplete and has no contact information. Also
  a lot of information is missing and some is even wrong. Also this guide
  is has much more than guns.

Q: I see a typo, will you correct it?
A: If you see any mistakes, please tell me. Typing all this leaves me bound
  to make a mistake. If it is just a spelling error, try to send more than
  "You said 'teh' instead of 'the' here". Try to have multiple things.

Q: There is more than 2 Special Attacks for Bosses, what gives?
A: I'm still working on that part. I'm going to play through again
  and ask people what things you can do against bosses. I just don't
  want to post false information if I don't have to.

Q: You have abilities for people like Wesker, can I play as them?
A: Yes, but only in the Minigame "The Mercaneries". The attacks can
  only be used by that person. For example, "Leon" moves can be used
  in Mercaneries and The Main game, "Ada" moves work in Assignment Ada
  and The Mercaneries. "Wesker", "HUNK", and "Krauser" attacks are only
  used in The Mercaneries. "Ashley" moves are only in The Main Game for the
  small Ashley portion.

Q: I haven't played any other RE game, should I still play this?
A: Well I highly recomend playing through the whole series first, but
  you can still play this one. The story of the past games are great
  so at least you'll understand why some of the characters are the way
  they are.

Q: What is the easiest way to kill bosses without super weapons?
A: Well, using the special boss attacks works well. But the best way is
  to always have a shotgun. A Riot Gun or a Striker works well on most
  bosses. If you're having too much trouble, either buy a Magnum or a
  Rocket Launcher, just make sure not to miss...

Q: Why is the Red9 called that?
A: The Red9 is a Mauser pistol. It can be seen by typing Mauser into
  Google and looking at the 4th picture. "Red9" comes from a nickname
  for the gun since they sometimes had a red number 9 engraved on
  their handle.

Q: How come there are no children in the game?
A: SPOILER. At the end of the game, the credits, they show the development
  of The Village. It was a peaceful normal village. Then Saddler came in
  and had them dig up Las Plagas. Then he manipualted them to his will.
  The images show that the children were not efficient for Saddler so the
  parents beat them all to death. It's kind of gruesome and sick. Shows how
  mindless the villagers have become, murdering their own children.

Q: Is there any difference between Male and Femal villagers?
A: Other than appearance, what they sound like, and weapons, nothing that I
  can see. They all seem to have the same health and such.

Q: So did you like this new system?
A: I did. I enjoyed this game a lot. My only complaint is that it wasn't
  nearly as freaky as REmake or RE2. Also, I think dual wielding guns could
  have worked, like in REC:VX. You would just not be able to use your knife.
  But what's done is done. Never-the-less, I highly recomend this game to any
  RE fan.
