How to skip the dynamite chamber Resident Evil 4 remake

Finish Chapter 11 faster

The Resident Evil 4 remake has no shortage of “skips,” which allow players to get through certain areas faster; to shave precious minutes off of their clear time. As you start Chapter 11 you’ll be greeted by a dynamite chamber, which generally requires you to head to a side room and fight a ton of enemies to acquire an item that allows you to pass. Well, as you may have guessed by the tone of this article, you can skip it! Here’s how.

Use a rocket on the dynamite chamber to skip ahead in Chapter 11

As Chapter 11 kicks off, you’ll climb a ladder and hoof it through a tunnel that leads you into a dynamite chamber. The normal way to clear this is to veer right further into the tunnel and acquire explosives to detonate the chamber and forge a path forward. Or, you can use a rocket launcher (as well as the infinite rocket launcher) to just skip the area entirely.

Aim the rocket launcher at the TNT while inside of the tunnel on the right and fire away. You want to be somewhat nestled in the tunnel as rocks will fall down the main path: killing Leon if he makes contact.

If you don’t already have a rocket launcher, you can buy one from The Merchant right in front of you at the start of Chapter 11.

Grenades will not work on the dynamite chamber

We’ve tried both types of grenades (normal and heavy), and they do not work on the dynamite chamber. Don’t waste them!
