While making your way to the church in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you will need to head into the lake first but something dangerous lurks within.

Del Lago, a mutant creature hunts in these waters and it looks like Leon has a watery challenge that will put his skills to the test.

You encounter this boss during Chapter 3 when you first get into the boat while finding a way to get to Ashley, who is held captive in a church.

Del Lago Boss

Del Lago was an experiment created by the Los Iluminados using a salamander, which later became a host to the Plagas parasite.

It was later mutated into a larger creature, which resulted in the Iluminados sealing it into a lake near their village due to its uncontrollable nature.

This monster lives in the lake and is often fed the corpses of the victims of the Iluminados, which they deliver by dropping them off a small boat.

How To Kill Del Lago?

You encounter Del Lago when you are nearing the end of Chapter 3 and will be in a boat that loses power once you are in the lake.

This causes Del Lago to appear and begin to attack Leon but he can fight back using a seemingly unlimited amount of harpoons.

To defeat Del Lago, you will need to avoid getting smashed by objects in the water while throwing harpoons at the creature until it dies.

Your boat will have a certain amount of health that is damaged when Del Lago hits it or if you bump into objects in the water, eventually ending with your death if it runs out.
