How to get a level 1 keycard in Resident Evil 4
The Level 1 Keycard is needed to access the Freezer, and to get it you must first transfer power to the dissecting side of the area using the power control lever in the south corner -East.
Walk to Dissection, then complete the calibration puzzle to restore power to the gate. You can then go inside to grab the Tier 1 keycard from the back and play files on the regenerators (now correctly translated as “regenerators”).
Just beware that your first Regenerator encounter will activate as soon as you pick up the keycard. We suggest running away from the monster until you get the Biosensor Scope.
How to get a level 2 keycard in Resident Evil 4
Now that you have the level 1 keycard, you can upgrade it to level 2. To start this process, go back to the power control lever in the southeast corner and turn the power back on the freezer side of the area.
You can now use your level 1 keycard to open the freezer door.
Go to the crush terminal at the back of the freezer and insert your keycard to get the level 2 keycard. Another regenerator will spawn when you do this, and we suggest running away from it until the card is ready at the terminal instead of trying to fight it.
You can also solve the freezer calibration puzzle without worrying about the regenerator hurting you if you want to get the LE 5 submachine gun.
Our Resident Evil 4 walkthrough can help you through the village with guides on the Large and Small Cave Shrine puzzle solutions, the Church Dial puzzle, and the Del Lago, El Gigante, and Méndez bosses. When you reach the castle you have to tackle the treasure sword, the four slot wall, the dining hall bell and the exact time of the grandfather clock, as well as the dungeon Garrador, to two giants and to the bosses of Ramón Salazar. The island is next, and there are still puzzles with calibration puzzles, keycard locations and a hidden key, as well as the final bosses Krauser and Sadler.
How to get a level 3 keycard in Resident Evil 4
This is the trickiest keycard to get, as there are a few extra steps involved.
Bring your level 2 keycard to the locked door in the southern area to access the hallway that leads to the Incubation Lab.
Regenerators shouldn’t follow you past the second door, but normal enemies are waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs and in the lab itself.
Once you’ve dealt with the enemies and looted the area for resources, go to the back of the lab – ignoring the crush terminal for now – and grab the Biosensor Scope.
To get the level 3 keycard in Resident Evil 4 you need to use the biosensor scope to check inside the regenerators in the tubes of the incubation lab for the key needed to open the case on the crush terminal . Our key was in the regenerator in the northwest corner of the room.
To get the key tool out of the regenerator, you need to kill it by destroying all the parasites inside its body, which you can see using the biosensor.
Once he’s dead the key will drop as loot and you can use it on the crush terminal to finally get the level 3 keycard – but be careful after inserting the keycard because it takes some time to process and the room will be crawling with enemies.
Run around the lab in circles while you wait for the map, then collect the level 3 keycard when done and bring it to the southwest exit of the lab, back to Facility 1 storage where you can finally free Ashley.
