Resident Evil 4: Trophy Guide: Careful Where You Swing That

Tips for Completing the "Careful Where You Swing That" Challenge

Use Flash Grenades to Immobilize Enemies

To complete the challenge, it's advised to use Flash Grenades to freeze enemies in place. Lure them near wall cracks and use the Flash Grenade to make it easier to hit them with the crane's iron ball.

For Single Enemies, Use Parry to Immobilize

If only one enemy remains, you can use a parry to immobilize them instead of a Flash Grenade. Parry their attack and move out of the way as the iron ball approaches.

Quickly Eliminate Long-Range Enemies

Take out long-range enemies as quickly as possible. They stay at a distance and can't be hit by the iron ball. Using explosives like dynamite or a Rocket Launcher will also take out other enemies, so it's best to deal with long-range foes quickly.

Defeat the Minotaur to Avoid Killing Other Enemies

Take down the Minotaur that appears with a firearm. The Minotaur has high health and is hard to kill with the iron ball. It also kills other enemies with its hammer, making it harder to complete the challenge.

Use Flash Grenades to Eliminate Plagas

Use Flash Grenades to quickly eliminate Plagas that appear in large numbers. They move fast and become even faster when they infect enemies, so it's best to take them out quickly.

How to Complete the "Careful Where You Swing That" Challenge

Defeat 5 Enemies with the Crane's Iron Ball

To earn the "Careful Where You Swing That" record, you need to defeat 5 enemies with the crane's iron ball in Chapter 14. Lure enemies into the iron ball's path and defeat them to earn the record.

No Need to Defeat 5 Enemies in One Go

You don't have to defeat all 5 enemies at once. You can achieve the record by defeating enemies over multiple attempts, as long as the total is 5.
