Resident Evil 4 Message Board  

Part 3 -- final part of CHEATS resource (from 2 msgs above)

HUNK:
Although you may think that playing as HUNK isn’t possible,
due to the lack of a Custom TMP in the main game, he’s
actually the one of the most compatible characters. If you
equip HUNK with a regular TMP, it’ll literally turn into a
Custom TMP in his hands; viewing it in the inventory doesn’t
cause any crashes. Thus, HUNK can use the TMP (WITHOUT THE
STOCK, as the stock being in the inventory causes the game to
crash and the weapon to become invisible in HUNK's hands) and
all forms of grenades and eggs. His neckbreaker and kick moves
also work almost flawlessly, with the exception of Dr.
Salvador; DON’T use the neckbreaker on him, except for the
first section of the mines, as he’ll become stuck in the air
screaming at a very loud frequency.

Ada:
Ada can use the Punisher, Blacktail, TMP (no stock),
Semi-Auto Rifle (with or without the scope, but no infrared
scopes) and all forms of grenades and eggs. All of her moves
work perfectly; however, this is the Mercenaries/Assignment
Ada version of the character, so she isn't armed with a knife.
However, in a bizarre twist Ada's costume seems to alternate
between her Assignment Ada and Mercenaries attires; I saved
in her Mercs outfit, and when I loaded the game back up she
was in her AA outfit. Then, when saving and loading for a
second time, her outfit turned back to her Mercs dress. I've
also been informed that there are certain glitches in relation
to Ada's reloading; there are no reloading animations for her
Blacktail, Punisher and TMP, and she may also become deformed
upon attempting to reload the Semi-auto Rifle. However,
ProvShadow has discovered that if you upgrade the reload
speeds of these weapons until the values are equal to those in
Assignment Ada/The Mercenaries, the animations will function
properly. Thus, the reloading speeds of these weapons must be
as follows:
Punisher: Reload speed of 1.47 seconds.
Blacktail: Reload speed of 1.47 seconds.
TMP: Reload speed of 1.0 seconds.
Semi-auto Rifle: Reload speed of 1.90 seconds.
You're free to upgrade any of these weapons' other values, but
in order to ensure that you don't encounter any problems these
reload speeds must be in effect.

Ashley:
You'll need an inventory devoid of weapons to play as Ashley;
there's barely any way to kill enemies as her, unless you
lure them into their own traps or repeatedly slam doors in
their faces, with the exception of Del Lago. There's no real
point in playing as her, unless you want to get slaughtered
or see up her skirt when jumping through closed windows.
However, I have some pretty bad news in relation to Ashley;
she can't jump over gaps. If you try to do so, she'll become
stuck in the floor and unable to move. Thus, when playing as
this character, you'll have to use Leon to complete shooting
puzzles as well as jumping over gaps. Below are a number of
other discrepancies when playing as Ashley:
1) If you're attacked by a Dr. Salvador/Bella sister, the
game will crash.
2) If a Ganado grabs you, he'll attempt to pick you up as
he's do to the AI Ashley. However, it'll result in Ashley
going into a pose that looks as though she's drunk for a
moment or two; the game then reverts back to normal.
3) If you're caught in an explosion, she'll go through a
number of positions whilst screaming 'Leon! No! Help!' before
falling to the floor and jumping back to her feet.
4) If you use the 'Look' option at the start of the village,
she'll scream 'Help!' whilst you use the binoculars. The
villagers won't hear you, though.
5) If you jump down from a height, she'll disappear
momentarily, and then reappear on the ground.

So far I've played as Ashley, Wesker, Ada. All cool. You have to hit select right away if a communication comes in or you'l crash
And you CAANT buy anything from the merchant. So what you have to do is play as leo, gtt weapons that you character can use, svae that game in a slot you will rmemeber, then load the GAMESHARK, then load that saved game. But the game doesnt crash.

Odd stuff, like ashly cant jump and she gets deformed. Wesker's punch doesnt fo anything. etc. I sure wish Krauser's bow was available but it aint.

Gameshark is for the Ps2.

I think gameshark has different versions for different platforms, even Wii.

""4) You can only only complete Ashley's section AS ASHLEY, as
the other characters are unable to use the buttons that open
the gates. However, the ladder that requires the Salazar
family insignia is already exposed when playing as the others;
however, if you exit the area you're in serious trouble, due
to the fact that the area will become sealed whilst the goat
ornament is still inside.""

This is problematic. Any ideas??

I'm slightly confused with this bit:

However, the ladder that requires the Salazar
family insignia is already exposed when playing as the others;
however, if you exit the area you're in serious trouble, due
to the fact that the area will become sealed whilst the goat
ornament is still inside.

But that's what Ashley is made for, i mean, if every other character can do what she can possibly do, then why bother getting Ashley to do a specific part in RE4?

Please excuse me for my 'out-of-topic discussions', i tend to blabber about things that you didn't ask for. But yeah, i'm just saying that Ashley's actually an important person in the game.

OK, when you use the game shark to play the main game as another charactter - ADA, HUNK, Krauser, WESKER, when you get to the part with Ashley going through the rooms you actually lay as these other character. So say for instance HUNK has his TMP and can shoot the monks in the first 2 rooms. And the gates are open already. Why? because those charatcers cant use the cranks and buttons designed for ashlet. That becomes a problem when you ge to the dingy room where the first loose stone tablet is picked up. You cant push the buttons to open the gates. So, the way I solved this was to just save the game and play that save normally as ashley. Then once I got through that I just saved a new game with the proper weapons at the right time in the game. It's kinda like starting over unfortunately, but this method works.

lol I put this video on youtube of the Ashley Twins -
