Resident Evil 4 Remake - Merciless Knight Banner

Merciless Knight Walkthrough

Head to the Mausoleum

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Knight Map Directions

Go to the Mausoleum by exiting the room through the door beside the request. Keep venturing down the hallway until you reach a what seems like an old abandoned library.

From there you'll come across the entrance to the Mausoleum, enter it and go down the staircase until you get to the elevator. Take the elevator down and be prepared to fight the knight.

Approach and Defeat the Knight

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Approach the Knight

Once you enter the Mausoleum, the knight and two of his henchmen will be posing as statues. Approach the Armaduras to awaken them and as soon as they are alerted to your presence, they will proceed to attack you without hesitation.

Use your best weapons against them as they are quite difficult to kill as they'll be wearing armor to protect their vulnerable spots.

Description
I seek a brave soul willing to dispose of that monstrosity of a knight. But be warned: it is much stronger than the others. He cut down our best with a single strike.

The request requires you to eliminate an Armadura, otherwise known as the Merciless Knight, in the Mausoleum area during Chapter 10. This task can be difficult as you'll also be taking on his henchmen at the same time.

Eliminate the Armadura Henchmen First

The other two armored Armaduras can be quite a nuisance while fighting the merciless knight, take them out first so you can focus on your primary target. They are fairly easy to kill as their health isn't that high.

Shoot the Plaga From Behind

As with all Armaduras, the merciless knight's vulnerable spot is the parasite hidden under his helmet, however if you've yet to destroy the armor protecting it, a small portion of it is revealed in the back of his head. Get behind him quickly so you can get a clear shot of it.

Alternatively, since he usually sways left and right while moving towards you, you can carefully aim and shoot it each time the plaga is revelead within your line of sight.

Use Melee to Remove the Helmets

The Armaduras' helmets serve as protection to their weak point and can be removed by shooting their knees and performing a melee kick to their head to reveal the plaga hiding behind it.
