Chapter 4 Walkthrough

All Wayshrine Locations

Farm - Chapter 4

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Farm Wayshrine Location

The first Wayshrine you will encounter is on the northeastern side of the farm in Chapter 1, specifically right beside the barn. However, you won't have the key at this point, so you'll have to backtrack to this location later on once you find the key.

Lakeside Settlement - Chapter 4

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Lakeside Settlement Wayshrine Location

You'll find a Wayshrine in the Lakeside Settlement which is on the northwestern side of the Lake. Do note that this area is only accessible after you get the boat.

After docking your boat at the nearby pier, go to the front of house that you first encounter.

Quarry - Chapter 4

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Quarry Wayshrine Location

During Chapter 3, you can encounter the Wayshrine north of the Quarry just before you reach the Merchant and Shooting Range.

Opening the Wayshrine rewards you with the Buttefly Lamp which can be sold to the merchant.

Lake - Chapter 4

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Wayshrine Lake

There is a Wayshrine in the Lake area and is within close proximity of where you found the Old Wayshrine Key. From the Mural Cave, hop back in to your boat and head southwest in what appears to be a cave lagoon.

You can directly go here first since it's the nearest Wayshrine after getting the key.

Checkpoint - Chapter 6

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Wayshrine Checkpoint

In the Checkpoint area of Chapter 6, head upstairs and go through the door that leads you to a scaffolding. The Wayshrine should be located towards the end of this wooden structure.
