[CH41]
Chapter 4-1
__ Second Floor Walkway __
Objective: Find a way out of the castle
All of the items that Ashley collected will be handed over to Leon for this
chapter so place them in Leon's inventory. A radio cutscene will play after
taking the extra items. Take this time to run all the way back to the second
castle exterior area and get in that room that Leon couldn't enter before.
Rush back through the Merchant Corridor, the Double-Sided Room, the Cage Trap
Room, the Dining Room, the Storage Room, the Dark Hall, then finally the Castle
Exterior. Masked Zealots with scythes will attack in the Cage Trap Room and
Dining Room.
__ Second Castle Exterior __
Run over to the locked door that Leon couldn't get through earlier and check it
again - it must be checked again! Walk over to the high window after checking
it and use the Piggyback command when it appears. Ashley will unlock the door
from the other side. Collect all the goodies from the treasure chests found
around the room.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Elegant | Open the small chest on the right |
| Perfume Bottle | |
| [ ] 5000 PTAS | Open the first small chest on the left |
| [ ] Red Herb | Open the second small chest on the left |
| [ ] Broken | Open the big center chest |
| Butterfly | |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Sell the Broken Butterfly if Leon already has it. Return to the Second Floor
Walkway.
__ Second Floor Balcony __
Run down the corridor at the north end of the second floor and open the door at
the other end.
__ Room with Wheel Platform __
Save the game at the typewriter to the left then get on the platform with the
large wheels on it. Select the "Get On" command and Leon will move to the
other side of this room. Enter the door on the other side.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the dresser against the right wall |
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Break the vase right next to the typewriter |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Lava Room __
* To do this next part easily, aim for the chains that hold up the metal
dragons and shoot the orange portion of either of the chains twice. This can
be done from the side of the entrance door if Leon has the rifle.
The camera will show two metal dragons as Leon enter the room. As Leon walks
down the stairs two Zealots will get behind the two dragons. The one on the
right will start to move toward Leon and breathe a flame at him. Shoot the
Zealot or shoot the two chains holding the dragon up (shoot one chain twice).
Either way, the dragon will fall into the lava and a chest will pop up from the
floor on the walkway below the stairs.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 5000 PTAS | Destroy the first metal dragon then open the chest |
| | that rises from the floor (down the stairs) |
| [ ] Illuminados | Destroy the second metal dragon then open the chest |
| Pendant | that rises from the floor (other side) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Shoot the chains or the Zealot on the second metal dragon to make it fall while
moving up the stairs toward the middle circular platform. As the fence on the
platform rotates, jump into an opening when the open portion is in front of
Leon. Run to the opposite side and jump through the next opening. A few
Zealots will attack.
Run to the other side and another metal dragon will lower up ahead with a
Zealot on it. Move away from the flames by backing up. Zealots will start to
drop from the opening of the circular tower behind Leon. Shoot the Zealots
then quickly aim at the chains on the last metal dragon and shoot it twice to
make it fall into the lava.
Once the Zealot falls a staircase will appear and allow Leon across to the
chest on the far side. Open the chest at the top of the stairs and pick up the
--LION ORNAMENT--. Exit the room.
__ Room with Wheel Platform __
Take the wheel platform back over to Ashley. Save the game at the typewriter
once again. Get on the cart in room down the stairs and it take Leon all the
way back to the beginning of the castle.
__ Cart Room __
Unlock then open the door up ahead.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Break the first vase on the right after getting off |
| | the cart |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Entrance Hall __
Leon is now back in the at the very beginning of the castle where the engraving
on the sealed wall is located. Walk over to the engraving and place the Lion
Ornament, the Goat Ornament, and the Serpent Ornament on it. Once the chimera
portion of the engraving is complete, the wall will lower and allow Leon
through.
Don't go through the door at the end of the corridor just yet. Look on the
left wall to see an opening that blends in rather well with the wall. Run up
the stairs in that opening to find some extra pickups at the top. The very top
balcony is supposed to show Leon the Purple Gem that I pointed out much
earlier. Go ahead and shoot it up above if you haven't gotten it yet.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 5000 PTAS | Check behind the picture of Saddler across from the |
| | vase |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Open the door up the stairs back down at the bottom.
__ Second Cart Room __
Before entering the cart, hop over the railing on each side of this room and
break the vases for some extra items.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Hop over the railing and break the right vase |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Get in the cart when you're done.
After getting off the cart, check the area for some more pickups.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Break the vase on the left side of the room |
| [ ] 5000 PTAS | Check behind the picture of the old man on the left |
| | side of the room |
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Extra Info |
|=============================================================================|
| * Do you recognize the painting of the old man behind where the 5000 PTAS |
| is located? That picture was used in the Painting Room with the two maiden |
| statues in Resident Evil (REmake) for Gamecube. Next time you play that |
| game, pay attention to the left wall that tries to compact your character |
| while pushing the statue in between the walls. |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Exit through the door up ahead.
__ Painting Hall __
Enter the first (green) door to the right.
__ Merchant Room __
Our good friend, the merchant, has set up another shop in here. There is also
an extra shooting gallery with game "B" available to the side. Save your game
at the typewriter then talk to the merchant to choose from some new upgrades.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Open the cabinet to the right upon entering the room |

Exit the room.
__ Painting Hall __
Both the right and left doors will lead to some items that Leon will need to
open the next door up the corridor ahead. Choose one door and go inside to
collect the item within. I'll start with the right door. Be sure to take the
++SAMPLE RETRIEVAL++ file from the table across from the door while moving
toward the right door.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | Open the cabinet to the left of the table |
| [ ] Yellow Herb | Lying on the end of the table |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Knight Room __
Walk down the corridor and turn to the left. Notice all the knights up ahead.
Some of them have their axes held up in the air. As Leon approach the knights
with axes they will try to slice him, so press the on-screen sequence to
backflip out of the way. Strangely the axe will go right through Ashley as
long as Leon dodges each axe. BE SURE to tell Ashley to wait before going into
the circular room through the doorway up ahead.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | Lying on the first lion statue across from the |
| | entrance |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Pick up the ammo along the sides of the room then pick up the --KING'S GRAIL--.
The door will seal off and the walls on the three sides of the room will rotate
then knights will step out of the wall alcove. Let them come toward Leon then
run away from them. Make sure that they are grouped just a bit before trying
to hit them. Shoot them in the head with any type of bullets (the rifle and
shotgun work the best). Eventually their knight helmet will burst open to
reveal a Plagas. Try to knock off the helmets of at least two of them then
throw a flash grenade to instantly kill the plagas inside. They start to move
very fast when the Plagas is exposed so it's best to get rid of them as quick
as possible. Finish off the final Plagas knight with a rifle to the plagas
head to keep from using flash grenades.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Shotgun Ammo | Lying below a knight bust on the far left wall |
| [ ] Green Herb | Lying on the ground below some shields to the right |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Three more knights will enter the room via the alcoves so group them together
and start to shoot them in the head once again. Throw a flash grenade to get
rid of the plagas. The most dangerous knights in both groups are the ones with
the swords since they can attack so fast. The knights with the axes are not as
bad since they will use delayed overhead swings. Once all the final three
knights have been defeated, the doorway will unseal. The last three Plagas
Knights will leave a big amount of pesetas. Go back out and rejoin with Ashley
then leave the room.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 6500 PTAS | Kill the Plagas Knight |
| [ ] 6500 PTAS | Kill the Plagas Knight |
| [ ] 6500 PTAS | Kill the Plagas Knight |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Pressure Switch Room __
There is an inscription on the right door:
"Four knights shall clear the path."
The other door is locked from the opposite side.
--SOLUTION: There are four pressure switches in this room. Find the two
statues in the area and push them on top of two of the pressure switches. Lead
Ashley over to one of the other pressure switches and have her wait on it.
Stand on the final pressure switch with Leon in order to have the door to the
side open up. Enter through the newly opened doorway.
__ Spiked Ceiling Room __
After the cutscene, the spiked ceiling up above will start to lower on Leon and
Ashley. The camera will show an overhead view of the ceiling. Look up to see
four red lights on each corner of the spiked ceiling. Shoot the four red
lights on each of the corners to stop the spiked ceiling from descending.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the floor (northwest side of the room) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Open the door to the side and follow the corridor up ahead. Step into the room
at the end and a cutscene will occur. Ashley will be trapped on the other side
of the gate after the cutscene and two Zealots driving a drill will be driving
toward her. Equip a rifle and shoot both of the Zealots through the bars on
the gate (one shot each) then the gate will open. Ashley will step through and
follow Leon.
Check the room over for some good item pickups and be sure to pick up the
--KING'S GRAIL-- from inside of the treasure chest on the pedestal. Break the
lock on the door then exit the room and head back to the middle hall with the
paintings.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Rifle Ammo | On a crate to the right of the doorway |
| [ ] Spinel | Break the first wooden box off to the right |
| [ ] Elegant | Open the cabinet on the cabinet next to the two |
| Chessboard | wooden barrels |
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Break the first wooden barrel to the left |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Painting Hall __
Now that Leon has both grails follow the corridor in the middle. Zealots armed
with scythes will be standing at the other end of the hall with windows up
ahead, so arm a rifle then shoot the ones without a mask in the head. Shoot
the other Zealots as they run toward Leon. Aim for the top portion of the
shielded Zealots.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Flash Grenade | On a chair in the corridor leading to the hall with |

| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the shiny object on the first statue |
| [ ] Green Gem | Shoot the shiny object on the second statue |
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Shoot the shiny object on the third statue |
| [ ] Spinel | Shoot the shiny object on the fourth statue |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
The door in the middle is sealed. A statue of a king is on the right and a
statue of a queen is on the left.
They both have an inscription of: "A toast to our royal majesty."
-- SOLUTION:
Place the King's Grail in the king's hands (right) and the Queen's Grail in the
queen's hands (left).
The bars on the door will rise. Open the door and enter the next area.
__ Hall of Broken Windows __
Follow the hall to the end.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] SNAKE! | Break the left vase on the left set of vases |
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Break the right vase on the left set of vases |
| [ ] 1800 PTAS | Open the first cabinet to the left while moving down |
| | the hall |
| [ ] 2800 PTAS | Open the second cabinet to the left while moving down |
| | down the hall |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
There is a walkway to the right of the door at the end of the hall. Jump out
the window to get on the walkway. Climb the ladder and move along the side of
the wall to find a treasure chest at the end with a Butterfly Lamp inside.
Jump into the next room.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Red Herb | To the right as Leon leaps out onto the walkway |
| [ ] Butterfly Lamp | Climb the ladder on the right walkway and follow it to |
| | the end to find this inside of a chest |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Room with Novistador Nest __
The great big slimy thing hanging from the ceiling is actually a Novistador
nest. Run to the middle of the room for a cutscene. Once the cutscene ends,
Leon will be surrounded by several Novistadors. Run back to the entrance and
fire at them with a shotgun. The flying Novistadors are incredibly weak but
the Novistadors that move along the floor are just as powerful as the ones in
the sewers. Destroy the nest in the middle of the room for an assortment of
eyes for the butterfly lamp. There is always a blue eye in the mix.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Green Eye | Destroy the Novistador nest. 60+ life |

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Move over to the other side of the room and pull the lever on that side. The
drawbridge on the left side will start to fall but some chains will hold it in
place. Shoot the metal pieces that hold the chains into place on the wall to
make the bridge fall. Run across the drawbridge and open the door.
__ Merchant Hall __
There is merchant to the left along with a typewriter. The merchant has quite
a few tune-ups.

Continue down the hall.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a chair to the left |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Outside the Tower __
There are two Zealots that circle the tower in the back. Use the rifle to
shoot the two Zealots and Leon will not have to worry about getting hit by
fireballs from the catapult to the right. You'll have to wait on the second
Zealot but he will pace by the tower walkway eventually.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Break the left wooden barrel |
| [ ] Spinel | Break the first torch in this area |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
A cutscene will play as Leon passes across the bridge leading to the tower.
Another cutscene will play where a Zealot will notice Leon if he doesn't defeat
both of the Zealots that circle the tower. The Zealots at the catapults on the
south castle wall will start to launch fireballs at him. The Zealots at the
catapults can be shot with the rifle once you get up on the second floor of the
tower if they're there. If both Zealots that roam the top of the tower were
killed from a distance then no extra cutscene will play and no fireballs will
be launched!
The bottom entrance is sealed, so climb the stairs on the left. Defeat the
Zealots at the top then enter the tower via the door on the east side. Be sure
to break the barrels around the south side of the tower.
__ Inside the Tower __
Climb to the top of this tower (fourth floor) to find a ++RITUAL PREPARATION++
file on a table. The lever at the top that rotates the tower and the bridge
outside cannot be used yet since Salazar's minions have stuffed wooden boards
in between the gears of the mechanism that moves the tower. Climb up and down
the ladders of the various floors then look around the gears to find the boards
then shoot them. A TMP or handgun will work just fine.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On a crate in a stack crate on the southeast side of |
| | third floor |
| [ ] Green Herb | On the same table as the fourth floor file |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
One is to the right of the lever and you can look downward from near the lever
and see another. The third and final board is directly across from the door
that Leon used to enter this tower. Run back upstairs and pull the lever to
rotate the tower and unseal the set of doors at the very bottom. While
climbing down, Zealots will enter the floors below. Shoot at them on the way
down - they all have crossbows.
When Leon drops to the first floor some more Zealots will appear below and
others will appear on the second floor. Climb right back up the ladder when
they enter and kill the Zealot with the dynamite or he will keep tossing
dynamite below while Leon attacks the Zealots on the bottom floor. Defeat the
others and open the set of big doors at the bottom.
__ Outside the Tower __
Take note of the typewriter on the left side. Save your game! While advancing
ahead a few Zealots will attack. Blast them with the riot gun then continue
further across. About midway across the bridge, a whole bunch of Zealots will
appear directly ahead and a few more will appear behind Leon. Throw a grenade
at the big group of Zealots directly ahead then run toward them after the
grenade explodes. Put Leon's back to a corner and have the riot gun equipped.
Don't get surrounded and don't let them group up around Leon. A few more will
jump down from the castle top up above. Kill the Zealot with the skull mask on
to get a Gold Bangle. Be forewarned that the masked Zealot has a rocket
launcher and he isn't afraid to use it while Leon attacks the other Zealots.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Gold Bangle | Kill the Zealot with the skull mask |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Second Main Hall __
This room can get ugly if it is not approached right. From the entrance door,
look up the stairs to see two Garradors and two Zealots. Take out the rifle
and aim for the head of one of the Zealots then kill him. The Garradors will
aggravate at that time so quickly aim for the head of the Zealot and kill him.
This will leave only two Garradors to deal with. They will immediately charge
directly at the door so walk fast (or if they're too close then run) out of the
way. They will both plow their claws into the entrance door. Walk over to
them and try to shoot both of their Plagas with the broken butterfly. Walk
away from them (don't run) so as not to get hit.
Walk around the area with the two pillars on the side but DO NOT run up the
stairs yet. Moving up the stairs will cause more Zealots to attack and that is
something you do not want while dealing with two Garradors. Fight off the
Garradors carefully and be sure to keep your distance. Remember that they can
be shot in the face with the magnum to make them turn, but it's really just a
waste of magnum bullets at this part since they will eventually turn anyway.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] 15000 PTAS | Kill the first Garrador |
| [ ] 15000 PTAS | Kill the second Garrador |
| [ ] Green Herb | Lying on the right side of the room before going up |
| | the stairs |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Three metal masked Zealots will appear at the bottom of the stairs when Leon
reaches the top so turn around and shoot them quickly. There is one Zealot in
the hall to the left and he will always drop a First Aid Spray when killed.
Open the set of doors and enter the next area.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] First Aid | Kill the metal masked Zealot in the corridor on the |
| Spray | left side of the room (un the stairs) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Stairs to Salazar's Throne __
Collect both Spinels from the statues along the sides of the stairs then open
the door to the throne room at the very top.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Spinel | On the left statue bust (no need to shoot it) |
| [ ] Spinel | On the right statue bust (no need to shoot it) |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
__ Salazar's Throne Room __
A cutscene will occur that will lead into an interactive cutscene. Input the
sequence on the screen to keep Leon from falling into the spikes in the pit.
__ Bottom of the Pit __
Search around the area for some extra items.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Near the right hand of an impaled Zealot (east end) |
| [ ] Crown | In the left hand of a dead Zealot slumped over against |
| | the wall (northeast end) |
| [ ] Yellow Herb | Northwest end near a fallen Zealot and the merchant |
| [ ] TMP Ammo | Northwest end near a fallen Zealot and the merchant |
| [ ] Magnum Ammo | Northwest end near a fallen Zealot and the merchant |
| [ ] Incendiary | On the small table with the typewriter |
| Grenade | |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
It seems as if the merchant anticipated that his stranger friend would fall
into the pit since he has set up shop inside of the pit. The Striker shotgun
is a good choice, but it's really up to you. I prefer myself because of the
capacity it can hold later. It doesn't take up as much inventory space as the
other shotguns as well.

Climb up the ladder to the right of the merchant. Begin to move down the
waterway at the top. There are a few items pickups along the way - check the
drainage pipes to the left.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Velvet Blue | Check inside the first drainage pipe to the left |
| [ ] Red Herb | Beside a water gate in between the second and third |
| | drainage pipes |
| [ ] Spinel | Check inside the fourth drainage pipe to the left |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
By the time Leon reaches the third drainage pipe a short cutscene will play.
Continue further ahead and open the door at the end.
__ Water Control Room __
When Leon reaches the first front of the first corridor to the right another
cutscene will play. The entrance to this area will not be accessible after
this cutscene so there is no returning now. Check inside of the first two
rooms along the way to the back for some extra pickups.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Handgun Ammo | On the small table in the middle of the first room |
| [ ] First Aid | On the small table in the middle of the first room |
| Spray | |
| [ ] TMP Ammo | By a set of pipes inside the second room |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen) tanks found in
each room and the one in the corridor since they will be used in a moment.
Eventually rubble will start to fall from the ceiling as the monster from the
cutscene tries to attack Leon. It's Salazar's guard, Verdugo! Press the on-
screen sequences to dodge his attacks and hurry to the room at the very end of
the corridor. Leon will have to dodge Verdugo's attacks throughout the
corridor.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| [ ] Shotgun Ammo | On the first control panel in the third room |
| [ ] Green Herb | In the far north corner of the third room |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Run to the far northeast corner of the third room and pull the lever on the
wall to turn the power back on. This will start the elevator but it will take
approximately 4 minutes to rise. It will also seal the door of the room that
Leon is currently in. Run back to the entrance of the room. Check the panel
to the side of the door to see that the door has been shut due to safety
reason. Open the shutter in front of the door. It will take a few seconds to
open! A cutscene will play at this time where Verdugo will finally show
himself by landing on the floor below.
Boss Battle - Verdugo (Salazar's right hand)
Life: about 450
Shot while frozen: shot x 3
This is much like a small Nemesis battle (RE3) if you battle him normally
without a rocket launcher. To put it simply, this boss is a beast on either
difficulty when he is fought properly. The fight is very fun and tense and I
suggest you try it without a rocket launcher at least once.
HIS ENTRANCE: His weak point is his head, but he will swerve a bunch to dodge
your bullets while aiming. Right when he falls at the beginning, run past him
that second and head to the Liquid Nitrogen canister.
THE LIQUID NITROGEN: Lead him over to the liquid nitrogen tank and kick it over
- he will always follow shortly. The liquid nitrogen will freeze him and stun
him - this is your cue to take out the broken butterfly and shoot him in the
head. Leon can get about three shots before he breaks out of the ice. It is
extremely important that every shot hit him in the head!
Don't worry as much about hitting him before he unthaws, he will take about a
full 10 seconds to unthaw completely or he will unthaw immediately after a
certain amount of his health has been taken. Don't throw a flame grenade or he
will unthaw directly from the fire. Leon can move toward Verdugo in his frozen
state (only while he straggles at the beginning) and get a "Kick" command.
This will knock Verdugo down and expose his head to Leon. One good aspect of
knocking him down is that he will not break out of the ice until he is
standing. I usually shoot him with a mine from the mine thrower, kick him down
then blast him with the broken butterfly as the mine blows up.
ONCE HE THAWS: He can still be hit in the head for a brief few seconds right
after he breaks out of the ice if you aim carefully - it all adds up to
eventually killing him even then. Once Verdugo breaks out of the ice, Leon
will have to dodge and run to avoid his attacks until the door in the back
opens. Once the door opens, run to the other liquid nitrogen tanks in the hall
and the other two rooms and kick them over when Verdugo is nearby to freeze him
once again. Keep blasting him as much as you can while he is frozen.
DODGING HIS ATTACKS: While running from Verdugo he will always try to hit Leon
overhead with his tail, so prepare to press A+B to dodge the attack. He will
sometimes move up into the ceiling and you will have to backflip (swerve the
Wii-mote) one to three times then duck (A+B). NEVER kick down a door when his
footsteps can be heard in the distance or he will hit Leon for sure!
WHAT IF HE'S STILL ALIVE: If Verdugo is still alive once all liquid nitrogen
tanks are gone then keep in mind that he can still be killed by blasting his
head (the front portion), but he will not stagger at all! He will most likely
be very weak, so finish him off by blasting him in the head with a shotgun and
try to dodge his attacks via the on-screen commands when they appear. Keep in
mind that he will be dodging any gunshots as well.
YOU LOSE BIG GUY: To end this battle very quickly, kick over a liquid nitrogen
tank to freeze him then aim at him with the rocket launcher and fire. It is
sometimes best to kick Verdugo while he is frozen then shoot him on the ground,
so he won't move around that much.
Either way, walk over to his body and collect the Crown Jewel. Enter the first
room in the corridor and activate the elevator to leave this area and finish
this chapter.
LEON'S LAST ESCAPE: This battle can be escaped from if Leon can outlast him
and elevator arrives. It will take about four to five minutes. Just get to
the elevator at that time and leave him behind.
