INTRODUCTION


************************


Thanks for clicking on the FAQ. This guide will take you on a step-by-
step speed run through Resident Evil 4.
To do a full speed run, you will need to have unlocked either the
Chicago Typewriter and/or the HandCannon (as a precaution).

These weapons will make your speed run hella easier.


This speed run applies for BOTH difficulties. At the end of the FAQ I
will reveal my own stats for comparison.

There are three types of players in RE4:
--BEGINNER
--INTERMEDIATE
--ADVANCED

What do these ranks mean?  It basically shows where you stand as a
gamer and how fast you can complete Resident Evil 4 for this speed run.
Here's the breakdown and see where you rank:


BEGINNER:
-Has finished RE4 at least once or twice
-Spends time searching through every box for ammo
-Still gets lost through the game
-Has a difficult time with the COMMAND buttons (like DODGE)
-Has died from the first Krauser encounter numerous times
-Has not unlocked any of the other secret weapons


INTERMEDIATE:
-Has beaten ASSIGNMENT ADA
-Has unlocked all secret characters in THE MERCENARIES
-Relies on goodies left over by the enemy
-Evasive and can escape situations with little damage


ADVANCED:
-Has beaten PROFESSIONAL difficulty
-Has unlocked the HandCannon and fully upgraded it
-Can evade enemies with no problems
-Can beat bosses in less than a minute (except Del Lago battle)


The rankings for each category highlight how fast you can do a speed
run. Players in each category can complete a speed run game in the
following times:

-Beginner:     5-10 hours or more
-Intermediate: 3-4 hours
-Advanced:     2 hours or more


Anyway, see how you do in the speed run!

-The best way to do a speed run is to use either the fully upgraded
HandCannon or the Chicago Typewriter. This walkthrough assumes that you
are using either (or both) weapons.


-In specific areas of the game, you will encounter scripted situations.
I will point them out to make sure you don't get stuck in a rut.


-When entering doors, press the A button twice to make Leon kick it
open.  Also, press the Start button to skip all cutscenes and
transmission calls.


-Be evasive but defensive! Don't think you can just run past certain
enemies without taking damage. Use the environment to your best
ability.


-Use the Save Typewriter at your own pace. I'll mention a few key
points on when to save but it's up to you to choose when you want to
save your progress.


-If Leon dies during certain sequences, CONTINUE from the previous
checkpoint, it's okay to do so.


-Before starting a speed run, be sure to purchase either (or all) of
the following weapons: the Chicago Typewriter, HandCannon (any Magnum
is also fine), and/or the Infinite Rocket Launcher.
Leave the rest of the attache case for First Aid Sprays.


-I'm assuming that you know your way around the game. If you get lost
during the speed run, STOP! Remember, the point of a speed run is to
complete objectives in the shortest amount of time.


Let's start the run!

open.

half-opened door and use the SEND ASHLEY command. Save at this point if
you need to.

the lever and get back on. Mow down more enemies until Ashley points
out the runaway truck. BLAST THE TRUCK!

You just finished your speed run!

************************


MY PROGRESS


************************


The speed run I listed above was done in Professional Mode. Here's my
clear time:

HIT RATIO:      29%
ENEMIES KILLED: 515
TIMES KILLED:   0
CLEAR TIME:     2 HOURS 4 MINUTES 5 SECONDS


Yeah, not as impressive as that guy who got under 2 hours but then
again, I don't see ANYONE ELSE making it this low!


There are a bunch of sequences in the game that take WAY too long (the
Ashley parts mostly). But if you have the patience to get through all
those parts then you'll have a successful speed run. GOOD LUCK!

This has nothing to do with Resident Evil 4 but I urge you to go see
"Frank Miller's Sin City" in theaters now. It'll be one of the most
visually stunning films you'll see this year.

**Oh, for the Jessica Alba fans out there, I've got some HOT and sexy
screencaps of her directly from the movie just for you. I ain't telling
you where I got them but they're HOT!
