The first time that you go through the village, you have already gone over the bridge and the three village men will have run away to warn other villagers. (You cannot shoot these people so don’t try; it’s a waste of time and ammunition.) After going through the big door, follow the main path to another small path, which leads to the entrance of the village. You’ll be given the option to “look”; this means that Leon will crouch down and take out his binoculars and you will be able to look at the village close up without being noticed. You can to get a good look at where the people walk and where some of the different places are that you can go. Below are the steps that you need to beat the village easily and also get the money from the chainsaw man.

Steps

When you get to the spot where the game gives you the “look” option, there should be a side path that leads behind a house. Follow the path that is to the left when you face the village entrance. This is the easiest way to start collecting items because you are not seen as quickly.

Run around the village and collect as much ammo as you can without killing people. Also collect the red, yellow and green plants. There are enough plants in the village to make one mixture of red, green and yellow herbs, and then you have one red and one green plant as well. Note: to mix the plants, select one of the three plants and then select the “combine” button. Repeat the process until all three plants are combined. When you are done it should heal you completely and also raise your maximum health.You can also just place them on top of each other and they will mixGet Past the First Village in Resident Evil 4 Step 2Bullet1.jpg

Know the terrain. The main buildings in the village are: main buildings (four houses and a barn) a tower flat-roofed metal building several shacks

When you walk into the village, go into all of the houses to collect items like grenades and ammo, etc. Save the last building on the right hand side (closest to the tower) for last because if you go into that house a video will start and you will get a chain saw guy coming after you making it harder to gather all the items.

After you have collected all your items, walk into the last house and watch the video that will start automatically. After the video there will be villagers at the window and door. Push the bookshelf in front of the window (the door will already be barricaded) so you have more time to gather items from the house.

Run upstairs and get the shotgun.

In the video, you saw a ladder crash into the upstairs window. Run to this window and push the ladder so it falls down onto the ground below.

Break another adjacent window (running past – or shooting – the villages lying in wait outside it) and jump out onto the roof of the shack next door. Follow the ledge around the right side of the building. This will lead to a dead end.

When you get to the very end where you are standing on a roof there is a jewel on the ledge. Take it if you have time. Villagers will pursue you.

Shoot any and all villagers who come your way. (Some will fall off the edge as you shoot them.) Save your shotgun ammo for the chain saw man, who will probably show up first.

Whenever you get a chance to go and get the items that fall from dead villagers, gather them up; if you don’t, the ending video will come and it will take you to the middle of the village and the items will not be there when you get back.
