Forget the rocket launcher, a couple of eggs can annihilate one of the toughest bosses in the "Resident Evil 4" remake.

I love Ramon Salazar from Resident Evil 4. He looks like a child and an old man, but somehow he's still 20 years old (opens in new tab). Fortunately, there's a way around it: egg on that little aristo.

This trick, discovered by Polygon (opens in new tab), actually involves a rare golden egg (opens in new tab) from RE4. But if you hold the golden egg you pick up long enough to use it in the Salazar boss fight, you only need to throw it a couple of times to defeat him. This works on any difficulty mode: in the following tweet you can see streamer Larxa using this method in hardcore mode and obliterating him.

The only problem is that the golden eggs are hard to find, and you will probably want to use one of them to complete the merchant's egg-hunting request (opens in new tab). However, there is a spare in the square key box (opens in new tab) in the castle throne room. It's not enough to kill Salazar, but it will ruin his day and give you a chance to finish him off with a few magnums.

It's an Easter egg, but Salazar's dislike of huevos is hinted at in a side quest called "The Shame of the House of Salazar." There, you are tasked with defacing the portrait of a little lord boy, but the eggs are enough (your vast arsenal is far from enough). I don't know what Salazar's gripe with eggs is, but perhaps that's why his skin looks like that: lack of protein.

Around here, we're rather enjoying the new and improved Resident Evil 4: PCG's Rich Stanton (a general RE sage) gave the "Resident Evil 4" remake a high score of 80% in his review (open in new tab), praising its "exquisite action core," but ultimately noted that he "ran out of ideas." Of course, I don't think he knew about this egg thing when he wrote it. Perhaps this news will give him a new perspective.
