Chapter 2-1

Objective: Find the object that will open the church doors

__ Lakeside with Cabin __

Once the cutscenes are over, Leon will start out in the cabin on the other side 
of the lake.  Pick up the ++ANONYMOUS LETTER++ file from the bed.  Exit the 
house via the front door.

| * Drive back across to the dock on the other side of the lake and try to go |
|   back to the gate on that side.  A cutscene will play and Colmillos will   |
|   attack.                                                                   |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Lake __

The fish at the dock can be collected - throw a hand grenade into the water to 
kill most of them then get on the boat and collect them.

Get back in the boat and drive into the tunnel along the north side of the 
lake.  Look for the blue flames to signify a merchant location.

__ Lake Merchant Shop __

Lucky for Leon, another merchant has set up a shop in the middle of the lake. 
Be sure to scout the area for extra items since there are plenty available.  
Leon can actually raid the merchant's store just a bit by dropping behind his 
stand via the rooftop behind the other side of the counter.

Walk over to the left side in front of the shop and move the crate all the way 
back.  Break the barrels to the right then climb the ladder.  Move the next 
crate at the top all the way back then push the crate to the right all the way 
back as well.  Break all the barrels in the way then fall down through the 
opening to land on the other side of the counter by the merchant.  Grab the 
rifle ammo to the side then climb back up.

|                   | with the knife while on top of the merchant's shop.     |
| [ ] Green Gem     | Break the middle crate at the top of the merchant's     |
|                   | shop.                                                   |

|                   | then fall down into the shop.  Turn around and this     |
|                   | will be near a pot.                                     |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

This particular merchant offers some extra tune-ups for Leon's weapons at the 
moment.

\---------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Get back in the boat.

__ Lake __

There is one more item pickup on the other side of the lake where Leon first 
entered this area.  All wooden boxes and barrels have respawned.  A cutscene 
will trigger if Leon moves down the path toward the door on this side.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo  | On the table near the typewriter in the shed            |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Get back in the boat and drive back across the lake to the cabin where Leon 
started this chapter then enter the door on the northeast side.

__ Waterfall __

While moving ahead a cutscene will trigger that will show a Las Plagas (Plagas 
Head) burst from a Ganados head for the first time.  These spawn from the head 
of regular Ganados.  They spawn at random whether or not Leon busts open the 
head of Ganados.  Don't let this discourage you from blasting them in the head 
since Plagas Heads will sometimes emerge even while shooting an enemy in the 
chest.

Throw a flash grenade at the Plagas Head for an instant kill, equip the rifle 
and aim directly at the Plagas, or just shoot the head of the Plagas with any 
other weapon (the TMP works well).  These enemies have an arm that will extend 
outward and slice Leon from the Plagas portion so be careful about getting too 
close.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 5000 PTAS     | Defeat the Plagas Head                                  |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Another Ganado will attack from up ahead as well.  Run up the steps at the end 
of the path and leap across the platforms above the river then move to the east 
across the other side.  Hop across the broken bridge to get to the north side 
then climb down the rope to the east.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel        | Look on the left mountain wall directly after climbing  |
|                   | down the rope then shoot this item to make it fall      |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Shoot the Ganado on the high platform to the side.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo  | Look on the railing of the high platform (near the      |
|                   | ladder)                                                 |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Walk over to the edge of the wooden walkway next to the water wheel.  In order 
to get across, shoot the crate above the water to make it float downstream and 
crash against the floodgate providing a platform for Leon to hop across.  Hop 
across the crate and jump to the other side.

On the other side, shoot the first crate in the distance and try to hit the 
second crate up high.  If Leon can't hit it then move toward the waterfall in 
the back and climb the ladder on the left.  This will position him right next 
to the hanging crate.  Notice that there is an opening behind the waterfall - 
Leon can't get to it yet though.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Amber Ring    | Shoot the shiny object on the high wooden pole in front |
|                   | of the waterfall                                        |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Hop across the crates.  Turn to the right and climb the ladder to the platform 
up ahead.  Pull the lever at the top of the platform to close the floodgate 
above the waterfall.

Drop back down and hop back across the crates to the middle path in front of 
the waterfall.  Ganados will rush out of the secret entrance where the 
waterfall was at and some more will hop across the crate on the north side in 
an attempt to trap Leon.  Throw a grenade at the Ganados near the secret 
entrance or pull out the shotgun and start to blast them away from in front of 
Leon then run toward the tunnel and defeat the others behind Leon.

Run through the tunnel that the waterfall was blocking earlier.  At the end, 
pick up the ++ROUND INSIGNIA++.  This is the insignia that will open the front 
door of the church.  The rock wall will slide open to reveal another tunnel.  
Leon will call Hunnigan to tell her the good news.

Objective:  Get back to the church and save Ashley

Follow the new portion of the tunnel up ahead and open the door at the end.

__ Secret Cave Behind Waterfall __

Run up ahead and get into the boat.  The boat will take Leon back to the 
Merchant's shop on the other side of the lake.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel        | Break the first torch on the right next to the door     |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

__ Merchant's Shop __

The merchant doesn't have anything new, but you might want to sell off the 
Amber Ring or make some last minute tune-ups to your weapons.  There is a big 
fight ahead and it would help to have the TMP, but the handgun or shotgun will 
work just fine.  Climb up the ladder and exit the shop to continue.

__ Holding Area __

From this area, it is possible to backtrack to the swamp through the right 
door.  Ganados are now in this area and all the wooden boxes and barrels have 
respawned.  There is also some handgun ammo in the shed on the far side of the 
swamp.  There's also a snake in the left box of the first shed.  As you can 
see, the items are not worth backtracking for!
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] SNAKE!        | Reenter the Swamp area and break the wooden box in the  |
|                   | first shed                                              |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The wooden barrels in this area have respawned as well, so break the two 
barrels before walking out to the middle up ahead.  When Leon approaches the 
middle, a cutscene will play and a boss fight will start afterward.

Boss Battle - El Gigante

Life to knock down: 25 - 30
Las Plagas (main) life: 15 - 20

This boss looks tough and he actually is a little tough if you don't know his 
main weakness.  He's a sucker for flash grenades!

At the start of the battle run around and keep your eyes on El Gigante.  Make 
sure that he is in your view since he has a few attacks that cover great 
distances.  He will sometimes pick up one of the trees along the side of this 
area and swing them at Leon.  Press the on-screen sequence as it appears to 
duck under the tree.  El Gigante will also try to ram and will throw large 
rocks at Leon if he moves over to the north side of the area.  His close 
attacks are a kick, an overhead smash, and a grab.  If he grabs Leon, he will 
pick him up and start to squeeze him.  Wiggle the Wii-mote while El Gigante 
holds Leon to make Leon stab El Gigante's arm.  He will drop Leon at that time.

Stall long enough at the beginning of this battle and the dog that Leon helped 
all the way back in the woods will show up in a cutscene - if Leon saved him 
that is (shooting him to make him run doesn't count as a save).  The dog will 
get El Gigante's attention and lure him away from Leon.  Use this chance to run 
inside the small buildings to the side and gather up ammo if Leon needs it.  
This is also a great chance to fire at El Gigante without the need of flash 
grenades.  

Throw a flash grenade then shoot him with the shotgun, handgun, or TMP.  If the 
dog is distracting El Gigante then don't worry about the flash grenade.  When 
El Gigante leans over, rush over to him and press the A button when the on-
screen icon appears in order to climb on top of El Gigante's back.  Leon will 
take out his knife and move toward the Plagas on the creature's back.  Wiggle 
the Wii-mote from right to left to slash at the Plagas on El Gigante's back.  
Eventually Leon will jump off.  Go back to attacking El Gigante again - throw a 
flash grenade then attack him while he is stunned.  Get on his back once again 
when he leans over then start to slash some more.  Two back slashings will kill 
El Gigante if you move the Wii-mote fast enough during the slashing.

|=============================================================================|
| * If Leon saved the dog from the bear trap near the beginning of the game   |
|   then it will show up in a cutscene and help distract El Gigante for a     |
|   while                                                                     |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Be sure to pick up the 15000 PTAS from El Gigante's body then leave the area 
and head back to the church.

__ Churchyard (Night) __

Run and jump back across the bridge.  The boxes in the shed have respawned.  
Once Leon walk up the path that leads to the church a trio of Colmillos will 
attack.  These dog enemies are very aggressive so try to keep them all on one 
side of Leon.  Blast them with a shotgun or the TMP.  Walk up to the front door 
of the church and use the Round Insignia to unlock it then open it.

__ Church __

Climb up the ladder on the left side.  A gate blocks the way to the door in the 
middle of the walkway so move over to the walkway across from the chandelier 
then jump on the chandelier and time a jump so that Leon leaps to the other 
side of the second floor.  Just keep tapping the A button if you want Leon to 
make the jump on the first swing - it always works!
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 3000 PTAS     | To the left of the altar on top of a cabinet            |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Examine the control panel with the colored switches and some lights will shine 
above the altar.  Match up the patterns so that they correspond with the middle 
image.  Notice the arrows on the sides of each circle.  Match up the arrows as 
follows:

-- SOLUTION

   - RED           - GREEN         - BLUE
   ________        ________        ________
  /        \      /        \      /        \

 \    \/    /    \          /    \          /
  \________/      \________/      \________/

Rotate the circles as described above then combine the colored circles to open 
the gates along the side of the second floor walkway.  Enter the room for a 
cutscene.

__ Storage __

Objective: Find the trail leading out of the village

++PLAYING MANUAL 3++ will be received after the cutscenes.  Leave the room 
after collecting all the goodies from the barrels.

__ Church __

Drop down the ladder.  A "Catch" command will appear so press the A button to 
catch Ashley as she falls.  This is the only way that Ashley can get down from 
a high place so remember that.  A cutscene will play as Leon tries to leave the 
church that will end this chapter.
