But one detail that surprised me was that it has implications for the village encounter early in the game.

Keep in mind, though, that this is a light spoiler for one of the most iconic scenes in Resident Evil 4.

If you're fighting in a village and want to end the fight quickly, you can climb up to the rooftop and shoot the bell that rings later in the fight.

This will stop the fight right away, saving you a lot of resources. Note that this tactic is only available in NG+ playthroughs, as you won't be able to use a rifle with a scope at this point in the game.

To get the chainsaw guy to cut the bell, you need to go to the building that triggers the scene and dive out of the window on the right. Then, aim at the bell and shoot it. You can find the weathervane on top of the building to help you aim.

We tried it out ourselves and it worked! You can also use it in Professional mode, which is great. After we did this, we were free to loot the village completely and save a lot of resources.
