Bitores Méndez Boss Fight - Leon vs The Village Chief | Resident Evil 4 Remake

The Village Chief finally reveals his true form, and it's a nightmare. Bitores Méndez has been the terrifying authority figure haunting the village, but when Leon confronts him in the burning barn, the Plaga parasite transforms Méndez into one of RE4 Remake's most grotesque and memorable bosses. His human torso separates from his legs, revealing a massive centipede-like lower body with spine-chilling agility. This boss fight takes place in the cramped, burning confines of a barn, creating a claustrophobic arena where every move matters. Méndez's elongated form allows him to attack from multiple angles, crawling on walls and ceilings while the flames close in around you. Leon must survive this two-phase encounter while managing limited space and dwindling resources. In this walkthrough, watch as Leon battles both phases of Méndez's transformation. The first phase features his superhuman strength and speed, while the second phase unleashes the full horror of his Plaga mutation. Timing, positioning, and ammunition conservation are critical to surviving the Village Chief's final stand. BOSS FIGHT TIPS: Phase 1: Stay mobile and use the barn's pillars for cover Watch for Méndez's grab attacks - they deal massive damage Shotgun is highly effective at close range during both phases Phase 2: Attack the exposed spine when Méndez is recovering The fire limits your movement - don't get trapped against burning walls Flashbangs can stun him briefly for critical damage windows Save healing items for phase 2 when attacks become more aggressive Bitores Méndez represents the leadership caste of the Los Illuminados cult, showing how the Plaga creates different mutation types based on the host. His transformation is both horrifying and tragic - a community leader corrupted into a monstrous guardian. WHAT'S NEXT?
