If you stay away from the ladder by the platform, you can avoid being hunted by the villagers for about two to four minutes, according to GamesRadar.

This trick still works in the new Resident Evil 4 remake, but if you want to avoid confrontation like a cool guy, you can sidestep this whole ordeal and conserve ammo and health in the process.

According to their post on the r/ResidentEvil subreddit, if you shoot the church bell from the rooftop of the main house (the one Leon barricades), the fight will end early.

If you can shoot a few rounds at the base of the belfry of a church, you'll be able to save yourself from being captured by Chainsaw Man.

This will give you enough time to search the village for supplies, including ammunition and herbs, before the game ends.
