[ R e s i d e n t E v i l 4 ] [ S a v e P o i n t L o c a t i o n s F A Q ] ------------------------------------------ Game: Resident Evil 4 Platform: PlayStation 2 Author: piecemealcranky Email Address: piece_meal_cranky@yahoo.com Date Created: 27th November 2005 Updated: 28th of November 2005 Version: 2.0 ------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Parts of this FAQ may contain some minor spoilers. Readers are advise earlier to not use the guide if they are afraid of being exposed to some spoiler contents of the game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contents -------- 1. The FAQ 2. Legal Terms 3. Save Point Locations 4. Credits -------- T h e F A Q ------------ This FAQ will provide and assist you on all known save locations for Resident Evil 4. This time around, you don't need ink ribbons to save which makes sense since most of the time these ink ribbons are given more than what is needed by the players. Like always, the save points are represented by the typewriter which can be on anything, anywhere. You can also use the map just in case you worry too much. Also keep in mind that after each chapter or subchapter the game will inquire you to save the game. I will not mention this in the FAQ. I think you get the whole idea of the FAQ, so lets get on. ------------- L e g a l T e r m s -------------------- All further questions NOT available within the FAQ/Guide can be emailed to the following address: piece_meal_cranky@yahoo.com Please include a proper title (with proper grammar) in the subject column associated with the game Resident Evil 4.

The following save points are listed through chapters, and if the doors are locked in the area (and they have a save point in that particular room), I will not list them even as you pass through it. I will follow the chapters so it would be a lot easier for you to find them. Note: If the chapter takes you back to the same location twice, bear in mind that I will NOT mention them again. C H A P T E R 1 ---------------- C h a p t e r 1 - 1 : - Right after the first cabin you see when you start the game is another small shack on your right as you walk down a path. This path will lead you to an injured dog. Inside the shack would be a typewriter, and your very first save point. - This area is the one where you first see the blue medallions and the note on the tree (the path from the trail at the tower previously). There should be a small hut on your left which has a typewriter. This is another save point. - The typewriter is inside the cabin where you find Luis Sera inside the cabinet. It is situated in the small room just before the hallway with the wired explosives across the walls. C h a p t e r 1 - 2 : - This save point is located just as you start this chapter. It is on the table with the rifle ammo on it after your first encounter with the Mercenary through the small opened window-like hole. C h a p t e r 1 - 3 : - As you start the chapter, go downstairs and you will find the typewriter. It is placed well on the table here. - Once you gain access through the door with the weird Insignia symbol carved on it, there is a save point in the room. The typewriter is on the table. - There is a room you take which has the staircase that leads down to the door. Inside this room there will be a merchant and it is by the waterside. The typewriter is located southwest of the area. - This save point is located in the cabin right before you start off the fight with the big fish (Del Lago). It is near the boat which takes Leon to the other side of the island. C H A P T E R 2 ---------------- C h a p t e r 2 - 1 : - This obvious typewriter is located in the cabin where you start this second chapter off. C h a p t e r 2 - 2: There aren't any new save points apart from the ones mentioned in Chapter 1- 1 where you will revisit them again (see above for further details of where they are). C h a p t e r 2 - 3: - As you start, exit the cabin and head outside where you will find a merchant standing. Beside him would be a small hut. Inside you will find a note and a typewriter, marking another save point on the map. - As you come out of either two paths that you may choose to take, there is a house opposite from where the merchant stands. Inside the house will there be another same-looking typewriter; another save point. - Before the area where you fight off the boss Bitorez Mendez, you will come across a merchant and save point with some Shotgun Shells and some TMP ammo. C H A P T E R 3 ---------------- C h a p t e r 3 - 1: - As you start the third chapter, there will be a typewriter inside the small hut in this area. There's also a merchant present in this area. - The next save point is situated in the Grand Hall after the scene where you first saw Salazar, where you have to find the pieces for the door. The typewriter is on the door's left (your right side if you're facing the door). - The next typewriter can be found at the door where you first see the door that leads to the Shooting Range room. The merchant is also present here. This will be your last save point for this chapter. C h a p t e r 3 - 2: - Situated inside the area after you battle of the enemies after the cut- scene with Salazar the second time. C h a p t e r 3 - 3: - The typewriter is pretty obvious. It is inside the room where you first encounter the woman in the red dress. - The room with the merchant has another save point for you right after the area where you battle the enemies and finding items inside the glass-covered container. It is the room right before you trigger the cut-scene with Luis Sera. C h a p t e r 3 - 4: - This particular save point is located in the first room Ashley entered during her escape. This is the only save point you get while playing as Ashley. C H A P T E R 4 ---------------- C h a p t e r 4 - 1: - The first save point for this chapter is located at area just before you enter the room with the mechanical dragons (the room with the fire). - This save point is located in the room with the merchant and the second Shooting Range door. It is right after you travel through the cart and get through the area with one yellow/golden door. - This save point is located in the area right after you shoot the metal chains off the bridge to get it off chained and proceed through the next area. The typewriter is located here together with the merchant. Note: I'm not sure with this location, but while I was in Easy mode once (available in PAL version of the game) there is a save point just before you cross the bridge to the area with the Garrador(s). This however, is not present in Professional or even Normal difficulty mode. - This save point is located right after the cut-scene with Salazar. There is a merchant and a few valuable items here together with a few dead men. This is the only area for you to save before you fight with the sub-boss later on. C h a p t e r 4 - 2: - The typewriter is on the table together with some handgun bullets. This room has the third Shooting Range door and a merchant. C h a p t e r 4 - 3: - The save point is inside this very small hut right after you start off the chapter together with the merchant. There is a note here too. C h a p t e r 4 - 4: - There will be a save point here as you start off the chapter on the table. - This location is your only hope to save your game. The typewriter is located by the merchant before you battle Salazar. It is located outside of the boss area. - This final save point for this chapter rests in the room right after you battle Salazar and after going through a few other areas. It is the room where a merchant will be a available. Going forward from this room shall trigger a cut-scene, so you could probably guess where it is. C H A P T E R 5 ---------------- C h a p t e r 5 - 1 - This save point is in between a door that leads inside a building and a door previously where you have to press the switch on the right to open it. There is also a merchant present here. - A typewriter is inside a small room after the area with the merchant and the fourth and last Shooting Range room. This is your next save point. - This typewriter is located inside a room with a Green Herd together with it.

C h a p t e r 5 - 2: - This save point is located in the room at the hallway after the door with half-opened shutter. There is also a merchant and a few things inside this room. Keep in mind that there are enemies in this area, and that the save point is near the door with the lights on top. - After the fight with the bulldozer (the one where you assists Ashley as she drives the Bulldozer), there is a door at the crash site. Go through it to find the next typewriter and another save point, together with a merchant. C h a p t e r 5 - 3: - This save point is located near a small gate where you can acquire a red Herb. This is the area with the merchant before you proceed to fight with another boss (U3). - This save point is located underneath the tent through the hole where you jump down. There will be a merchant and a door that leads to another Shooting Range mini-game. C h a p t e r 5 - 4: - The typewriter is located right around a Green Herb after you start off this chapter. - This save point is located in the room with the cells and some items inside. It is the room after the cut-scene. The typewriter is here and an enemy (Regenerator) is further in front. C h a p t e r 5 - 5: - The area is after the door later when you start the chapter and after you grab the final memo. There will be a merchant and a save point here. Yes, this is the very last save point for you. This is where you save before the fight with Saddler. Alright, that is all.

I would always thank myself for anything I do (be that good or evil heh...), CJayC for running GameFAQs and Capcom for this absolute masterpiece (or so I call it). If you have questions regarding the game I would be thankful if you do not ask me. Instead, email the authors who wrote the complete walkthrough for the game. Nevertheless, I shall answer any questions you might have. God bless and see you around.
