Bring a rifle and a few grenades
Chapter 7 is one of my favorite parts of theResident Evil 4remake,as it kicks off the castle portion of the game. Before you actually get into Ramon Salazar’s house of fun, you’ll need to deal with the castle gates and some pesky catapults. Here’s how to take them out.
Using a rifle (or pistol) to snipe the red barrels near catapults is the easiest way to take them out
As you enter the castle’s threshold, four total catapults will start bombarding you. This is a precarious area because Ashley can easily get hit by them, so you’ll need to play it safe. The faster you take out the catapults, the easier the area will be to clear as a whole. To destroy catapults,you’ll need to shoot/toss grenades at red barrels near the contraptions: which will cause them to explode.
Each catapult conveniently has a red barrel next to it, and a rifle (or pistol) works best in terms of accuracy.
Tossing grenades up into the spires works too
Grenades can be used to trigger red barrel explosions,and actually work better in some cases than trying to find the right angle to shoot them.
