The much-awaited 2023 remake of the wildly popular video game, Resident Evil 4, has brought forth its share of challenges and demanding missions. As players make their way through Chapter 7, aptly titled “The Castle”, they come across a locked gate that blocks their path to the courtyard. As there is no alternative entry point, it is evident that there must be a method to open the gate.
To progress further in the game, players must employ their cognitive abilities and gaming skills to unlock the gate. If you find yourself struggling to open the locked gate, this guide will offer you valuable tips and tricks to help you open the castle gate in no time at all.
Use The Giant Canon To Open The Castle Gate
As you approach the castle gate, be prepared for a challenging task ahead. Along the way, you will face numerous enemies and powerful fire catapults. Use your weapons wisely and eliminate your enemies with precision.
To open the locked gate to the castle courtyard, start by heading southwest from the gate and crossing a bridge to reach a partially destroyed tower. Be vigilant and avoid the fire catapults along the way, as taking damage will impede your progress. Once on top of the tower, you’ll notice a gaping hole in the floor.
Jump down into the hole to discover a massive cannon. To proceed, you must bring the cannon to the top of the tower. The key to accomplishing this lies in breaking the weight holding the cannon down, allowing it to ascend to the tower’s upper levels.
After successfully raising the cannon to the top of the tower, your next step is to return to the tower’s top. Climb up the yellow ladders to reach the top of the tower. Once there, proceed straight ahead on the ramp and take a right turn. You will come across a wooden door that you need to enter. Once inside the door, turn right, and you’ll find the bridge again that leads back to the top of the tower. Lastly, use the cannon to break down the locked gate.
