In this segment of the video, Wes from Recommended Playing provides a guide to finding and destroying all 16 Clockwork Castellans in the Resident Evil 4 remake. This task unlocks the Primal Knife bonus item and two trophies: “Revolt Against the Revolting” for destroying one Castellan, and “Revolution Wind-Up” for destroying all of them. Each chapter has one Castellan to destroy, and they are tied to the master save file, meaning they won’t reappear in New Game or New Game Plus playthroughs.

– **Chapter 1**: The first Castellan is in the Lakeside Settlement after the windmill farm area. It can be found in the roof rafters on the east side of a building after navigating through enemies and bear traps.

– **Chapter 2**: This Castellan is found after a stealth section near the merchant and a chainsaw Ganado. It’s located in a shack next to a well and a note about the Castellans, specifically on a hay bale.

– **Chapter 3**: After passing through a quarry and reaching a Merchant’s safe area, head forward, drop down a ladder, turn right, then left, and follow the path to the end where you can find the Castellan on crates.

– **Chapter 4**: This Castellan is off the main path, specifically located back at the Lakeside Settlement from Chapter 1. With the Insignia key, access a hidden cave, go through the doors, and find the Castellan at the forest altar after some finicky positioning.

The segment details how to navigate these areas, combat enemies, and locate each Castellan for players aiming to achieve these milestones.

In this segment of the video, you need to backtrack to the village and head to the chief’s house, where you will find a lever in the bedroom that reveals a ladder. With Ashley’s help, boost her up to kick down the ladder into the attic, which contains treasures including a yellow crate next to a chair where you should shoot the next castellan. In Chapter 6, after dealing with enemies and crossing scaffolding, you will find the Clockwork castellan beside a fire. Chapter 7 occurs in the castle, where you need to defeat the garador, access a dungeon key to open a door leading to a ladder, and find the Clockwork castellan on a shelf in the wine cellar. Chapter 8 requires dealing with El Gigante, then doubling back to find the castellan on sandbags in a tower. Chapter 9’s castellan is located in a hedge maze; navigate through it while dealing with dogs and find the castellan by cloth-covered crates. Finally, Chapter 10’s castellan is in the depths; after passing through depths and finding a gate near a merchant, proceed directly forward.

In this part of the video, the speaker guides viewers through finding and destroying several Clockwork Castellans. They emphasize the necessity to carefully search specific locations across different chapters:

– **Chapter 11:** After completing the first mine cart segment and clearing enemies, the castellan can be found by aiming up at the center doorway in the stopover area.
– **Chapter 12:** Post-cutscene with Salazar, the castellan is located on top of crates to the left of the starting point in the castle.
– **Chapter 13:** After a combat gauntlet, there is a choice of paths; take the right path, near the green forklift, and position yourself to spot the castellan between the forklift and a truck.
– **Chapter 14:** Upon losing Ashley again and navigating past soldiers, the castellan is on lockers inside a building to the right of the exit ramp.
– **Chapter 15:** In the specimen storage building with regenerators, bypass the crank, loot a chest in the back room, and look up to find the castellan on the rafters.

The final castellan is mentioned to be hidden during an escape sequence at the game’s end.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on the final steps of the game and earning the “revolution wind-up” trophy by destroying all the Clockwork Castellans. Once this is achieved, the player should save their game to access a reward in the extra shop—the Primal Knife, which requires 1,000 completion points. This knife starts off strong and, with an exclusive upgrade costing 40 spinels or 10,000 pesetas, gains infinite durability. This makes it a valuable tool for freeing oneself from grabs, parrying, and attacking without worrying about durability. Additionally, possessing the Primal Knife allows players to sell other knives for inventory space and cash. The Primal Knife can be obtained anytime from typewriter storage, benefiting new playthroughs and various completion attempts. The segment ends with a thank you to Patreon supporters and encouragement for viewers to support the channel through various means. More Resident Evil 4 content is promised for the future.
