4-1: Caves
- YouTube: Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough - Caves Pt 1 (Time: 9:57)
- We only collected one treasure last mission, which isn't really enough to make major purchases. However, we did replenish our health supply with a couple of first aid sprays.
- Go to through the shack to enter the caves, collecting supplies from the jars as you go.
- At the clearing, a group of spiders will pop out of the ground. Take them out with your pistol or machine gun.
- When you reach the ladder, wait until a couple more spiders come around the corner to your right. Pop them, then head up the ladder.
- TREASURE: Before climbing up the ladder, go around the corner to the end of the path. Climb up the ledge to your left and open the chest to reveal the Topaz (Trilliant).
- Now, return to the ladder and climb up. Shoot the lone spider at the top.
- BSAA EMBLEM: Walk to the fence on the right, with the skeleton hanging off. Look out slightly to the right, to the spot where light is shining through, and you'll see a very small waterfall. The emblem is just below here.
- Take out your shotgun and continue along this upper path. Use this gun to clear out the big group of spiders ahead. You can switch to the machine gun to finish off the survivors.
- TREASURE: Before going through the door, you'll notice flashes coming from the two animal skulls on the ground and the torch to the left. Use your knife to hit each of these, and you'll reveal the Ruby (Pear), Sapphire (Pear) and Topaz (Pear). Then, go through the door.
- You'll get a glimpse at what appears to be a very large area. Walk the path ahead, then jump down to the next level.
- BSAA EMBLEM: Borrow Sheva's rifle to get this emblem. Go through the doorway and down the ramp. Just before you get to the spot where you're prompted to jump down, look through the broken wall to the left. All the way down at the end of the room, on the structure that holds the diamond-shaped bright object, you can see the emblem shining. Use the rifle to shoot it.
- Give Sheva the rifle back, then jump down to the next level.
- Follow the path, which wraps back and to your right. In the next room, go to the big chest and open it to reveal a load of gold.
- Now, turn around and go out the doorway to your right. Stab the torch on your left to get another Emerald (Pear). Make sure you have some health in Chris's possession before moving ahead.
- You and Sheva will be separated by a group of Majini that drop a huge block. Jump into the gap they created.
- A group of Majini will attack you ahead. Use your machine gun to fend them off. Sheva provides cover from above.
- Head up the stairs. The next trio of Majini includes one that will try to pounce on you. Be ready to dodge with X when this happens. Use your machine gun to get past the shields of the other two enemies.
- After this, you'll be able to meet up with Sheva. Keep moving along the path you were on and head into the room directly in front of you.
- To your left, open the large chest for more gold and jewels.

- Go out of this room, turn left and go into the next room on your left. Grab the Ruby (Pear) from the mummy and stab the torch on the floor for a Sapphire (Pear).
- Leave the room, turn left and walk forward. Once you pass through the doorway, turn right and walk down this path.
- Opening the chest will trigger a trap. Press X when prompted to land on your feet.
- A group of Majini and spiders will attack. Back yourself into one of the hallways in this area with a chest at the end, and fend them off with your machine gun. Switch to the shotgun if they get close.
- When the fire-weilding Majini draws near, knock him down with the shotgun, then stomp his head by pressing X to finish him off.
- TREASURE: There are three chests in this corridor. Make sure to open them all to get the Ruby (Trilliant), Sapphire (Trilliant) and Emerald (Trilliant).
- Now, head down the corridor with the opening at the end.
- You can see a group of Majini below. Instead of jumping down to fight them, why not attack from above, where it's safe? Use your pistol, and attack the enemies with crossbows first.
- Break the jars for supplies on either side of the middle structure, but don't get any closer to the end of the room until you've collected each.
- When you move towards the end of the room, three giant flaming spheres will flood the area. Retreat to the center platform and turn the handle by pressing B.
- You'll have to run directly to the door before it closes. Avoid the spheres as you go. You can make an ammo run from all the broken jars, but it's dangerous and you'll have to re-open the door when you're finished.
- After you make it through, go down the stairs and through the door.
- Walk through the hallway. You'll step on a plate that triggers a trap, requiring you to respond to several button prompts.
- Tap A to run, and eventually you'll have to hit X to jump over a gap. This happens three times. After the last jump, immediately hit LT and RT to hang on.
- In the next area, jump down to the room below and press B to pull the rope near the door. Go down the newly created stairs to the next large room.
- BSAA Emblem: When you reach this room, turn right. Walk down this path, and turn left at the first set of blue-colored planks. Jump across the gap and go up the stairs unti you reach the piece of stone coming from the ground on your left. Look left to the statue in the distance, borrow Sheva's rifle, and aim way up above the statue, near the trees at the top of the map. The emblem is here.
- TREASURE: Continue up the stairs. Look at the ceiling when you each the top. Shoot the shimmering object to make it fall, and collect the Topaz (Square).
- Go back down the stairs to the starting point of the room, and descend down the stairs here into the middle of the room.
- At the center, turn left and go the end of the hallway. Turn left again and you'll see a weapons case with the Grenade Launcher inside.
- Now, turn around and head to the blue statue. Press X to investigate, and Sheva will tell you to get the other side. You'll have to go back to the center of the room, turn left, and then turn left again at the wall. Walk to the statue from here and press B to pull the rope.

- Grab the Sapphire (Square) in front of the recessed statue. Go back the way you came and follow the hallway around to the stairs, leading to the green statue.
- TREASURE: Before pulling the rope, turn left at the statue, then turn left again around the corner. Jump across the gap and open the chest to get the Idol (Gold).
- Go back to the green statue and pull the rope. Return to the center of the room and turn right.
- Move forward,and you'll have to deal with a group of Majini. Keep moving ahead, and turn left when you get near the end of the room.
- The Majini will come from this way. Wait until they get close and use the shotgun, then switch to the machine gun to finish them off.
- Go in the direction they came from and dispose of any remaining Majini along the way. At the end of the path, turn left.
- You'll reach a set of stairs going down. At the bottom, turn right. Go back up the next set of stairs towards the orange statue.
- Don't activate it yet. Instead, turn right, and immediately take the next right to another hallway. There's a chest at the end containing flash rounds.
- Go back to the orange statue and activate it. Grab the Topaz (Square) once the statue recedes back into the wall.
- Turn right and head to the purple statue. Press X to make Sheva wait here. Go down the stairs that lead from the orange statue and turn left at the bottom.
- Turn left when you reach the wall. When you cross into the open area, a group of Majini will come from the ceiling. Keep moving towards the purple statue in front of you.
- Use your shotgun to kill the spiders coming from the ground, then turn around. Use the grenade launcher to kill the flame-weilding Majini, then use the shotgun on the rest.
- Because of all the commotion, you'll have press B at the bottom to make Sheva run back up to the top to pull the other rope.
- Grab the Ruby (Pear) from where the statue receded. You can also go back up to the top statue to get the Sapphire (Pear).
- YouTube: Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough - Caves Pt 4 (Time: 5:31)
- Go back down to the middle of the room and head south. Turn right at the wall to reach the red statue. Press B to pull the rope.
- TREASURE: In front of the red statue, get the Ruby (Oval). Then, start to exit.
- You'll have a rematch with the giant bug you faced during chapter 2. This won't be too hard with the help of the grenade launcher.
- Run past the bug so Sheva is on the other side. Wait until it faces her to attack, then pump grenades into the red part of its tail.
- Fire at a rate of about one shot per two seconds. After four or five shots, the bug will fall to the ground. Keep hitting the red part of the tail with grenades. Switch to the shotgun if you run out of ammo.
- TREASURE: This should take care of the bug. Grab the Soul Gem, then head out of this area the way you came.
- Go all the way up the stairs and press B at the tall door to end the level.
