The Separate Ways expansion to Resident Evil 4 Remake is every bit as iconic as ever. It brings back all the action, tension, and horror of the main campaign along with plenty of fresh new challenges for Ada Wong to embark on. One of them is the return of the Merchant Requests, which you can fulfill throughout her campaign for a hefty amount of Spinels. The request with probably the most memorable name is Lord of the Waterway, and we’ve got a guide that’ll show youhow to complete Lord of the Waterway Merchant Request in theRE4 Separate Ways DLC.

How to Pick Up and Complete the Lord of the Waterway Request in RE4 Separate Ways

This particular Merchant Request inSeparate Wayshearkens back to one you can complete duringLeon’s campaignat the Lakeside Settlement, which was literally called “Catch Me a Big Fish”. This request for Ada essentially asks the same thing: to catch the mysterious “lord”, aka a really big fish, wandering the murky channels beneath theSalazarCastle in Gregorio’s Waterway and then go sell it to him for a good amount of pesetas and spinels.

you may first pick up this request during Chapter 5, right outside the Merchant’s shop entrance in the waterway. However, you won’t be able to reach the fish until you make your way through the maze-like area and get to the wheel crank to drain the waterway, making it accessible. Once you do that, climb your way down into the shallow water near the Merchant’s shop and start wading through, dodging swimmingbug enemiesalong the way.

Make sure you also pick up theBiosensor Scopefor your sniper rifle from the case next to the waterway crank. It can be useful for detecting bug enemies in the water, as well as the fish itself if your flashlight isn’t enough. You’ll also need it for later on in Chapter 7.

The further in you go, the narrower and darker the tunnels get, and it can be easy to get lost and turned around in this area. Your map will definitely be your friend here, and above is about where we found the Lord of the Waterway swimming around. When you spot it, you can shoot it dead with any weapon of choice, though obviously it’s better to just use either your pistol or SMG for this.
