These achievements are solely based off of completing certain actions within the story of resident evil 4 / biohazard 4 . They also, however, cannot be missed whatsoever:

It Begins with a Ring - Ring the mysterious bell. What happens after that, is up to you.

In the very first chapter, Chapter 1-1, you will come across a village at some point within the chapter. Simply clear out the occupying enemies within the area and you will earn yourself your first achievement in the game!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Rock and a Hard Place - Outmaneuver the rampaging beast, El Gigante.

In Chapter 2-1, you'll eventually meet your next best friend, El Gigante. If you've freed the dog that was trapped in a beartrap in chapter 1-1, he will arrive and assist you with defeating this gargantuan beast. After doing so, you will unlock this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secure the Ballistics - Rescue the president's daughter, Ashley. Afterwards, the real fun begins.

In Chapter 2-1, after defeating the El Gigante, you will eventually arrive at the Church, where you were unable to enter. Use the item you have received prior to encountering the El Gigante to unlock the door. Make your way up the ladder, jump across the gap using the chandelier, and complete the puzzle, which will make the metal bars that were blocking the door to Ashley, rise. You can now rescue her, and doing so will reward you with the achievement!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Bloodline Severed - Defeat the village chief in battle.

In Chapter 2-3, you will encounter the village chief once again, but this time, you will be tasked with defeating him in battle.

If you have the rocket launcher, just point, and shoot, and he will be obliterated. After you have demolished him, you will earn this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Castellan Falls - Defeat Salazar, and make your escape from the castle.

In Chapter 4-4, you will encounter Salazar. You and him will go toe-to-toe, and whenever you emerge victorious, you will receive this achievement for your collection!

If you have a rocket launcher, just stun him with a sidearm or any other weapon other than the rocket launcher, and he will emerge from his shell-like coating. Whip out that rocket launcher and unleash Hell on him, and you will unlock this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ties That Bind - Defeat Krauser, your former partner, in battle.

In Chapter 5-3, you will have to fight two bosses here. One, of course, is Jack Krauser - as the achievement description implies. After acquiring the two medallions, you eventually will ascend the stairs to reach the last one, which Krauser has. Defeat him and you will receive the third and final medallion, and you will unlock this achievement.

There is, however, a easier way to defeat him without the use of a rocket launcher, but if you have the infinite rocket launcher, just disregard this next sentence. When Krauser approaches you, whip your knife out and slash away at him. Surprisingly, this method works in approximately 5-10 slices. Crazy, right?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're Going Home - Defeat Saddler in battle, and escape from the nightmare.

In the final Chapter, you and Saddler will finally battle. Like most of the other boss-battles, just shoot him with a sidearm until he is staggered, then unleash your inner demons with the rocket launcher to defeat him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Heart of Steel - Clear the game on the highest diffculty.

After completing the game on the 'Normal' difficulty, you will unlock 'Professional'. Complete the game on Professional, and you will unlock this achievement.

Tip - I highly recommend acquiring the Knight outfit for Ashley before attempting to go for this achievement. For information on unlocking that, and other rewards, please navigate to the Unlockables section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These achievements are non-story achievements and can be missed whatsoever.

Do Not Shoot the Water! - Summon the master of the lake. Don't rock the boat.

In Chapter 1-3, you will encounter your first major boss-battle. Strangely, it is just a gigantic fish. Before you enter the boat, pull out any weapon and shoot the water. This will irritate Del Lago (the actual name of said fish), and he will make you his breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Terrifying Assassin - Turn the tables of Verdugo, the right hand of Salazar.

In Chapter 4-1, you will come face-to-face with Salazar's right hand, Verdugo. You will have to actually defeat him to unlock this achievement, but if you survive long enough, the door that you are attempting to go to will eventually unlock.

If you do not defeat Verdugo, you will not receive this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The S Stands for Stylish!! - Acquire all of the costumes in the game.

After you complete the game, you will unlock a new outfit set for use in your next playthrough(s), for Leon and Ashley. You can also acquire a new set of outfits for these characters after completing Separate Ways , a mini-mode rewarded after completing the game once. After you have unlocked all of the costumes, you will unlock this achievement.

More information will be provided within the Unlockables section of this guide.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Are They Worth? - Acquire all of the bottle caps in the game.

Throughout the game, you will encounter areas that have blue doors with engravings on them, that bring you to a firing range-style room where you can shoot targets to earn points and after getting so many points, you will unlock a new bottle cap. They are, essentially, figures that you can inspect and they each have their own sound effects that you can trigger by using a specific key. After you unlock all of the bottle caps, you will receive this achievement!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this section, we will discuss everything you can unlock in the game, whether it's a new game mode, a new outfit, or a new weapon, we have it all right here.


Special 1 (R.P.D Uniform + Pop-Star outfit) - After completing the game for the first time, you will receive this set of outfits. Leon, obviously, will sport his classic R.P.D uniform, while Ashley will try to live out her fantasies of being a pop star with her red and white-trimmed outfit.

Special 2 (Suit and Tie + Knight outfit) - After completing the unlockable game mode Separate Ways, you will unlock this set of outfits. Leon will wear the gangster-looking suit with a nice, red tie, while Ashley will wear a full-on Knight suit. The Knight suit has a perk, as Ashley will be unable to die or be picked up, making her invincible.


Chicago Typewriter - After completing the unlockable game mode Assignment Ada, you will unlock this unlimited ammunition SMG for use in your next (main game) playthrough. The weapon, however, is not free. It costs 500,000 PTAs.

Infinite Rocket Launcher - After you complete the main game for the first time, you will unlock this weapon for purchase by the Merchant for your next playthrough. Similar to the Chicago Typewriter, the Infinite Rocket Launcher is 1,000,000 PTAs, but the investment is very much worth it.

Matilda - After you complete the main game for the first time, you will unlock this three-round-burst handgun for purchase by the Merchant for your next playthrough. This weapon will almost literally eat away your handgun ammunition. Unlike the Infinite Launcher and the Chicago Typewriter, the Matilda costs 50,000 PTAs.

Handcannon - After acquiring a 5-star rank with all characters on all stages in the Mercenaries mini-game, you will unlock this powerful, unlimited-ammo, magnum. This weapon is free to purchase from the Merchant in your next playthrough.

Although the Handcannon is free to purchase after meeting the requirement(s), it requires 790,000p worth of upgrades before it will get max power and infinite ammo. Pre-max upgrade, it takes specialized Handcannon ammunition.

P.R.L. 412 Cannon - After you complete the game on the Professional difficulty, you will unlock this weapon for purchase by the Merchant for your next playthrough. This weapon, however, is free, and has an unlimited amount of ammunition.


Mercenaries - Complete the main game for the first time and you will unlock this game mode. In Mercenaries, you can play as different characters and you must survive and kill enemies to get points. Upon reaching a certain amount of points, you will unlock new characters.

Assignment Ada - Complete the main game for the first time and you will unlock this game mode. In Assignment Ada, you play as - you guessed it, Ada Wong, and you are searching for the Plaga samples. This mode is (obviously) non-canon, and has no impact on any future installments.

Separate Ways - Complete the main game for the first time and you will unlock this game mode. In Separate Ways, you play as Ada Wong, once again, but this mode is much longer than Assignment Ada, and has you in Ada's shoes during the main game.
