Make Short Work Of Verdugo With The Rocket Launcher

 

Another thing that Resident Evil 4 players have surely noticed is that rocket launchers are incredibly effective. You just point the boom-y end at who/whatever you want to take out, and they explode out of existence. They’re in very short supply and don’t come cheap, though, so you’ve got to use them very sparingly (outside of the unlockable one with infinite ammo, naturally).

To get the best bang from your buck out of that single shot, you’ll want to save it until your late-game encounter with Verdugo, Salazar’s infamous “right hand man.” Near the end of the castle segment, this lightning-fast and nigh-invulnerable beast attacks you in an area littered with cans of liquid nitrogen. Simply “use” one of the cans when the creature is in range to temporarily freeze it in place. While it’s immobilized, a single hit with the rocket launcher will defeat it.
