Two things I noticed in Separate Ways too, when you go back to the castle. If you throw a flash grenade when partnered with Luis, Ada will warn him to close his eyes. Also when you split up to go find the ingredients, if you look back Luis will wave goodbye before closing the door.

1. Leon will occasionally rub his injured shoulder from RE2 after rolling or jumping through a window. 2. Leon will also hurt his back If he catches Ashley while she's wearing armor. 3. While Ada is returning from the cemetery the ganados won't be aggressive because of the effects of the bell, unless you attack them.

One neat detail that I've noticed is when you sit on the throne as Leon. The text doesn't just pop in, it appears letter by letter like the original.

The best is the Ganado wearing Leon’s stolen jacket in Separate Ways. 😂 And 100% agree about adding a suppressor for a new game+ bonus or something. It would have been fun.

One change I didn’t even think about until I met Luis’s voice actor is that in the original game they used Mexican Spanish which didn’t make sense because they were in Spain. They made sure to use Castilian Spanish instead this time. The voice actor (who already knew Spanish) learned Castilian Spanish for the roll.

25:20 in Separate Ways, before Ada boards the ski lift, you can look down and see the truck that Ashley drove in the original.

I bought this DAY ONE. Absolutely don’t regret it. This is 100% the best of all RE remakes. It takes away un-needed fat, and trims down/expands the game in the BEST ways possible.

Actually Ada's Elite Knife STARTS with Infinite durability, the upgrades affect its damage and speed.

Just finished this remake, what a fun time! Love all the easter eggs.

18:55 If you managed to get past the Garrador without killing it, then Ashley won't follow you if you go back down, there's no extra dialogue unless you then kill the Garrador which produces the same dialogue.

23:51 I love that Hunnigan has a post-it reminding her about dispatching the chopper, I bet she was waiting for the weather to improve, so dilligent of her!

Hello Kai. Great video as always. Some nice details in here I didnt know about. For the easter egg at 20:54, these items you pick up as Ada all have symbolic relevance to Leons campaign. As you pointed out theres Krausers cap on a ganado. Theres also Leons jacket on a ganado, but lastly the pair of glasses on the ganado making his way to the church from the village. Those glasses belong to the spanish police driver who was with Leon in the intro. I just really liked how all these items had neat significance. 😁

the lava room dragons were added to the water room, one of each beside the walkways you crank and ashley cranks up, but no lava clearly 😂 the truck section was replaced with the wrecking ball section, but it’s essentially the same thing. the clock tower was still there, and significantly improved with instead of being jammed, they merged it with the elevator section before salazar and it “jams” by stopping when enemies jump to the platform. bigggg fan. the only thing really completely cut because it just didn’t make sense was the ganado claw machine 😂

I love knowing that even the developer of the RE4 remake wasn't exactly into the idea of a remake since the original RE4 is a masterpiece on its own. Both versions hold up and I'm happy to know that's the general consensus among the gamers and the development team!

I mentioned this in another video a few months that someone posted, but I'm not sure if this would really be an easter egg, just nice detail I noticed when playing through the Remake. I also think you can see it in the OG as well. In the boss fight with Bitorez Mendez, more specifically his 2nd phase, he looks like the insignia for the Los Illuminados, or very close to it. The way his body looks and the limbs coming out of his back has about the same looks of the Los Illuminados insignia.

A small secret detail. I noticed that was also from the canceled E3 version of RE4... And Ada's campaign in separate ways when she gets infected, the hallucinations have something of a blue tint to them. This is reminiscent to the fact that in the old build of RE4 when Leon was infected with the progenitor virus... Anytime he would hallucinate the screen had a blue tent but would return to an amber color signifying the hallucination of it had ended.

I've spent so many times, so many hours of both OG and REmake 4. I love the call backs, the easter eggs, game play and the DLC. The guns are so much fun to use. Also, I will mention, that the Skull Shaker shotgun and the Sentinel 9 handgun are references to past or cut weapons for Resident Evil games. Skull Shaker is a reference to the lever action shotgun since OG RE3 as a weapon that Jill collected the parts for. The Sentinel 9 is a reference to a cut weapon that was to be the starting handgun for Leon in RE6 but for some reason it was cut and Leon was giving the Wing Shooters.

Really love your videos Kai! This was a solid one, didn't expect all the tips and tricks. Much appreciated!

Kai forgot to mention during the speedrun skips section, during the rampart part of the castle, if you throw grenades through the holes in the doors you can destroy the weight on the other side and bypass 10 minutes of side pathing which gives you a good amount of breathing room time wise when going for S+ runs

Super thorough man good stuff I didn’t know about at least half of the things you mentioned.

Actually, the idea of having silencers in RE4R is a very good one! I like how metal gear solid 3 handled it. You could collect silencers that would break when you used them too much. That’s survival horror as hell

That spanish tough 10/10 lmao

Dude that video was awesome!!! So much useful information and a ton of fun to watch! Thank you!

Ada's elite knife actually starts already having infinite durability, but it's damage is comparable to a kitchen knife. It's exclusive upgrade gives it more power, if I'm not mistaken it goes from 0.70 to 1.40.

I recently just completed the main story, and got cat ears + hand cannon and it's been awesome. Really enjoy the gameplay mechanics in this game and the pace of it. This video made me excited to try out separate ways!

Other things that were missing from the original RE4 are the Mine Thower weapon, getting a free Rocket Launcher in one part of the castle, the block arrangement puzzle during the Ashley segment, destroying the large bug nest to get small treasures, & the Assignment Ada Campaign

Ashley’s section felt like a nod to Clock Tower and I love it!

Some genuinely helpful tips there on number 8- that's gonna be great for me on the harder difficulties. Cheers! 😃

I love this game. Probably safe to say that it’s my favorite video game of all time. It’s so replayable and I have a blast just rexploring and blasting down enemies

Excellent video. Now i just want to watch these for every Resi, the full tips and unlockables

In the original, despite the Killer7 being named after Killer7, Leon will only do a Dan Smith pose with the Handcannon if you were on the pause screen. In Killer7, Dan Smith holds his gun behind his head. It has also been theorized that the Regenerators are based off of the standard enemies in Killer7, as they are practically naked, "unkillable", and have weak points that are invisible to the naked eye. Also, yeah, I'm one of those people who was hella sad when I saw that the PRL wasn't in the remake.

The knife combos make this game so fun

@27:17 When you play resident evil dead aim, there's a boss called pluto. He's blind and mostly follows and attacks you if you shoot it. Silenced hand guns makes that boss fight so much easier.

Excellent video! I enjoyed it ❤

"Wow, I had no idea there were so many hidden gems in the Resident Evil 4 Remake! 😱 Thanks for compiling this list and shedding light on these intriguing secrets and easter eggs. It's always fun to discover new things about such a classic game.

Great job like usual Kai

Been waiting for this🎉❤

Talking about remakes... There are 3 maps for Left 4 Dead 2 (steam), created by Roku (I think) that re-create the RE1, 2 and 3 games. This maps are AMAZING, specially 3. It'll be really great if you play them and stream them!! By the way, great video, as always.

The best hidden feature of the VR mode is being able to dual-wield knives. The guns are a given, but what isn't made obvious is the fact you can slot knives to the hip and shoulder weapon slots too. Grab your infinite knife and either the combat or krauser knife and go to town on enemies, stabbing them over and over literally as quick as you can move you hands.

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 excellent video, Kai. Liked and saved 😊

My favourite "Separate Ways" easter egg, is that Ada's end of chapter music (where you see stats, save, etc) is a remix of the save room theme from Resident Evil 2 in Leon's A Scenario where he carries her from the train after the tyrant injured her.

Here’s another Easter egg if your in the shop the merchant will hum the safe room theme.

My favorite secret is using subtitles to find those clockwork castellans a lot easier, since it generates subtitles for their inner workings.

Excelent video, Kai

I think we can all agree that this is The Best remake (Yes, Re 2002 is second best now)...But as much as I Love this game I still have a soft spot for the original... I absolutely loved the original Salazar and hate the new one... Although og was cheesy, I can't help enjoying Leon and Salazar taunting each other... And I was somewhat disappointed that the two routes after the cabin fight was re-worked... I was kinda hoping for the same treatment, only this time instead of El Gigante there would be something else, much menacing... Still, I'm really really glad with this remake after Ada's DLC, they surely kept the good things intact ❤

27:56 Hide commands weren't removed actually there are still sections in the game where you can tell Ashley to hide like the bella sisters area

Thanks for the funky content brother 🎉🎉🎉

This game just keeps bringing the goods. And that's all good

Awesome video 😎👊

Omg seeing the PRL unlocked a childhood memory. I miss it now and wish it was in the remake.

Awesome stuff as always! Two things I wanted to point out that weren’t mentioned here: 1. I think the hallucination mechanic for the U-3 in separate ways is also a reference to the Hookman in E3 2. wearing any of the sunglasses accessories allows you to not flinch during flash bangs, which is great for those S+ runs 🙏🏼 Amazing work as always, I always look forward to your vids!

The interaction between Krauser and Leon mention Javier mission

The game is so much addictive man, every time I see someone mention it for Easter eggs or secrets can’t help but boot up the game again 😆😆

Ada with Cat ears is perfect!!

I played this DLC is so great i love it. Now have been playing the main LEON and ADA storyline chronologically by pausing and switching gameplay walkthrought. Is very interesting.

Yay another ink ribbon video

At 17:50 I feel like the way he sits down on the throne might be a reference to the bad ending in the first Streets of Rage video game when you play as Axel or Blaze. I could be wrong but look it up. It's surprisingly noticeable

Tips that i used to do when i was a kid and still works in the remake. Always use shotgun on shield cultist, one shell cause it destroy the shield but doesn’t work on metal one on the island section since its bullet proof.

Love your cosy channel❤ hope you play the new resident evil clone you talked about on this channel. Do a full playthrough when its out

If they remake Code Veronica I really want them to add in a separate ways scenario for Wesker. Like a prequel to Claire waking in the prison Play as Wesker during his mercenary attack on the Island and the way he fights in mercenary mode from this would be perfect since he has those powers. I think if they added that it would be awesome because they would remake the game change some stuff but also give us extra content as well. I'm jus saying because that reminded me of how I would see them using him if they did that based on how he fights in that mode for 4.

The kendo print on the SG-09R is basically a print done by kendos older brother joseph kendo. He was the one who designed the samurai edge and the SG-09R handgun

It's crazy how much time goes into these games. Hearing that the development for RE4R began in 2021 was crazy considering that's when Village was released and everyone was talking about the duke referencing the merchant. If you would've told me that RE4R was being developed in 2021 I wouldn't have believed it. Also glad that the team that worked on RE2R did this game as well, perhaps that's why it was received so well.

The cumbersome battle ship sequence from original Separate Ways also didn't make it in and that's okay

When Ada is on the church roof, in the top/bottom (can’t remember) left corner you can see Mendez carrying Luis to the shack cellar.

One thing these remakes have definitely brought to light. You don’t have to create a whole new game and storyline you can take what you have and improve it and re-release a refined version where fans criticism can be turned into improvements. I think they did well with this, and they have so much content to improve, I dare say a remake of a remake does not sound crazy, rather an updated revision. The resident evil world is limitless, and the possibilities are endless.

Hey Ink Ribbon I know some people may not congratulate me for my efforts but I finally did the impossible by unlocking those Cat Ears

A well compiled video! Still a lot of stuff I didn't know about this game, mostly the skippable sections. 😢

Just a minor correction 🙈 6:54 Plaga Guadaña = "Scythe Plaga", not Guard Plaga. Guard is "Guardia" in Spanish.

Ada getting hallucinations during 2nd phase of Verdugo battle is a callback to the E3 2003 Hallucinations build demo of RE4 or famously known as the "Hookman" version.

After playing through the main game and separate ways, I still don't know who blew over the tower in the village?

I don't know if this has been patched or if it can even be considered a bug but in Separate Ways when Ada is looking for Luis at the factory, you can become invincible at the moment the female chainsaw freak is about to kill you by turning the valve near the entrance and her attack will go through you and not kill you. It's useful as it allows you to skip killing all the enemies at the factory specially in Professional mode by just running to the exit.

This video feels like you’re describing everything in the game that we already know just from playing it, rather than secrets and Easter eggs

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else: When fighting the two Gigantes with Luis, if you kill the armored one first, Leon says "Now for the naked one!"

You could sit in the chair in the original

You can hit the Church-Bell in the Village even without a Sniper Rifle. It just takes a lot of attempts and a lot of Skill.

Funny trick. Unlocking S+ in professional unlocks all the lower difficulty stuff as well. RPGs also work on the Island AA gun. Player is guaranteed 2 gold eggs. One for selling on the chicken island during chapter 3. 4? The other is by the painting of salazar. It's a treasure unlocked by the cube. Can also sit on the throne and a chicken will lay a vrown egg to throw at the painting. Might take a few tries as the chicken has to be calm. I was so happy to find out that the rolling rocks killed Leon. Because some rocks roll in certain other areas and they don't hurt Leon. Like the El gigante fight. Or during the ambush en route to find Luis in chapter 2. 1? El gigante's sleeping area has a file and a velvet blue. The player can see the claw machine. The camera has to be pointed down. In the area where Ashley cranks a bridge and can dispose of the Regenrator chasing Leon. The player passes through the room, it's where the briefcase is sitting on a top of a cluttered "small office space". I don't know how to describe it.

22:46 if ur speedrunning u can crouch as the jumpscare happens and she won’t stop moving like she does normally. It saves like 3 seconds but still

I just got out of my depression & finally opened the game up & completed it. Took me a week. Threw in a couple hours everyday. I liked it. 8/10

my favorite is in Separate Ways where Luis lost his key to open a door, referencing a scene where Luis dropped the antidote in the original game, with the same animation too. It's so funny to me because that was such a pointless scene in the original game, and so out of character Ashley wanted to leave Leon and follow Luis in the scene.

A continued easter egg is when Leon holds his back after catching Ashley in armor. Never knew about the beetles. Got something new to look for.

I didn't get one of those Resident Evil themed PCs from them, but I did get a pretty decent one just recently.

I saw the silhouette of the title and I said: yes. Yeeessss. Finallyyyy

Spent over 200 hours on this bad boi, game of the decade for me

One great detail I found while messing around Photo Mode is that when you reload the Punisher, the ammo type in the mag is actually different then other handguns in the game. The rounds are pointier.

Still can't get over a fact that Separate Ways is longer than RE3 remake

I dont know if you spotted that the chapter end music in Seperate Ways is a remix of Ada's theme from the OG RE2

21:31 I think that handgun is custom made by Joseph Kendo, Robert Kendo's bother. And Leon's SG-09 R (Silver Ghost) is not only remake from OG RE4, But that compensator add in the gun look similar in OG RE5 teaser where Christ Redfield armed with Silver ghost attach with compensator too.

Thank you👍🌹

Honestly, I still prefer JJ over the Crossbow Ganado. He wasn't as scary as Dr. Salvador or Garrador but he was hella intimidating.

I was one of those people who said RE4 didn't need a remake (because I thought the original was already great, minus the QTEs), while I still hold true to that I'm really glad I finally got the reamake as I absolutely love the game. Thanks for the shortcut tips, I had no idea you could skip certain areas. Let's just hope CV is next for a remake.

I miss the ancient city that was cut from the remake

I thought the chest and key thing was obvious but honestly I had no idea about the destructible wall in Separate Ways with the laser rooms

12:10 you see I was actually able to get S plus rank on all the mercenaries before the new stuff came out and then after a while of using the new characters I knew it was gonna be very easy to get S plus with Weser so I saved him for last and that’s how I was was able to get this outfit

Love me some Ink Ribbon deep lore RE uploads..

There is NO way I can do 99% of these. I'm not good enough to get an S rank in anything. Great video, though. Thanks for the extra info. Now I know what to look for. I noticed the doors after I shot one. I miss it. That was one cool part. I love shooting things and having them fall apart. Subscribed!

Number 8 is great! All new players should know!

Also in VR- you can reload the Skull Shaker shotgun exactly how you think you can. And also spin the revolver handguns.

I also noticed you can kill that big buff El Gigante at the castle with a rocket launcher

8:45 I was a big fan of the *Merchant,* literally my favorite part of the original. And you have no idea how much pissed I am that they switched his iconic voice for.. *Kano.* Now he's just a generic Australian guy... that for some reason works in Spain!

If you do the Ashley stuff out of order instead of compensating like every other game in the series, it just soft locks, there’s an Easter Egg I never wanted to find 😂
