Getting Spinels

There are two major ways from which you can get Spinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

1. Complete Merchant Requests
2. Kill Tough Enemies

The primary way of getting the Spinels is by completing the requests of Merchant. You will find the requests near the Merchant’s Shop or at random place in a location. The request will be on a note and there are two types of notes. One would be White like a normal Note and the other one would be Blue. All of these requests can be found along the main journey of the story and its your choice either you want to complete the requests or not.

All of the requests will denote an area as well where you would have to do a specific task, i.e. Shoot Blue Medallions, shoot rats, kill mini-boss, etc. By completing these requests, you will have to go to the Merchant and by talking to Merchant, he will give you the total number of spinels for completion of requests.

Another way to get Spinels is by killing the tough enemies. You will find these enemies at random spots in the main journey. However, you will get a very low number of Spinels from killing the tougher enemies and you might not be able to get the items from trading the Spinels. The better way to get Spinels is through completing the requests so, make sure to accept the request by picking up the notes and then complete the requests to get the Spinels.

Once players have obtained the Boat Fuel for the Boat at the Dock, they will get to defeat the Lake Monster.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to defeat the Lake Monster in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Defeating the Lake Monster

Players will have to defeat the Lake Monster by throwing the Harpoons at it. The Lake Monster will be pulling the boat and you will have to throw the Harpoons at it. There are unlimited Harpoons on the boat so, you don’t have to worry about the ammo.

Once the Lake Monster starts pulling the boat, you need to aim at the monster and start throwing the harpoons. Keep your eye on the monster because he will also try to jump back on the boat so, in order to dodge it, use your movement keys or stick to move the boat to left or right. You can also move the boat when you are behind the monster for better angle on the monster.

Once you have hit enough on the monster, he will aggress you with his mouth opened. You need to throw the Harpoon in his mouth to stop his attack. You will have to do this about three times until you defeat him. However, every time that he aggresses, he will change his tactic a bit. Focus on the sound where he is coming from and then throw the harpoon in his mouth to defeat him.

After you have defeated the Lake Monster, a cutscene will start which will lead to the end of the Third Chapter.
