How to kill the Lake Monster in Resident Evil 4 Remake

If you played the original version of Capcom’s game, you probably still remember what this fight was like. The fight takes place on board the boat and you are constantly being dragged by the monster across the lake. You have no weapons available except the harpoon, which is unlimited and you can throw it just like you would shoot a gun . That is, by aiming with one trigger and shooting with the other.

In the early stages of the battle, the monster will swim at high speed and you, dragged along by it, will have to focus on stabbing it 4 or 5 times with harpoons, as many times as you can before the creature decides to dive into the water and disappear for a few seconds. Initially, when it does this, it will come back to the surface and you will have to repeat the process.

When you’re being dragged by the Lake Monster, you’ll sometimes be at risk of colliding with the logs floating in the water, so you’ll need to stay alert and use the left stick to turn and dodge. The main new feature in Resident Evil 4 Remake is that if you crash, you won’t fall into the water and return via a QTE. Instead, the boat has a stamina meter that will deplete, and when it’s completely consumed, you’ll die instantly .

The critical moment that really decides the battle takes place when the monster disappears and you notice that you are no longer being dragged , having total freedom to rotate the camera 360 degrees. At this point you must turn without stopping and sharpen your ears, because you will hear that the enemy has just emerged and at that moment it will launch itself at you. Keep calm, because it takes several seconds to arrive and this way you will be sure not to fail in the only thing you must do, which is to throw a harpoon into its mouth to prevent it from swallowing you . If you do it right, the monster will drag you back and you will have to repeat the process so far once again.
