Osmund Saddler, the main antagonist of Resident Evil 4, was the leader of a cult called "Los Illuminados" (English: The Enlightened Ones), which sought to control the world. He has converted the local population into cultists, though they are referred to as Ganados as an insult, and they are controlled by Las Plagas, a type of parasite, in their bodies. His plan for Ashley Graham was to put the parasite into her and send her back to the US to infect the President, allowing Saddler to begin his conquest of the world.
Saddler encountered Leon S. Kennedy and Ashley frequently, first setting his minions on them, then using his growing power over their Plaga-infected bodies to control their actions. He killed Luis Sera - a researcher who betrayed him - by impaling him with his tentacle tail when he was about to give Leon the pills to suppress the growth of the Plaga in his body along with a sample of a Plaga.
Saddler hired Jack Krauser, an old ally of Leon's, to dispose of him, but it was later revealed that he didn't fully trust Krauser and was looking for a way to get rid of him. He briefly fought Ada Wong after she helped Leon free Ashley for the final time. Though he was defeated, he still managed to capture her.
| “ | The American prevailing is only a cliché that happens in your Hollywood movies! Oh, Mr. Kennedy, you entertain me! To show my appreciation, I will help you awaken from your world of clichés! | ” |
Finally, Leon confronted Saddler on a platform high above the island, and after freeing Ada, watched as Saddler transforms himself into a massive, multi-legged monstrosity. Despite Saddler's considerable strength in this form, Leon managed to kill him,
by launching a rocket at him, ending Los Illuminados.
[edit] Strategies
[edit] Main Game
- Saddler's weakpoints are the eyeballs on each of the knees on his 4 legs, when shot with any weapon Saddler will be temporarily incapacitated to the ground and become temporarily vulnerable allowing the player to either climb him to stab the eye in his mouth or the player can choose to shoot it with a high powered weapon. The eyes blink which renders them invulnerable and it is advisable to use either a shotgun or a TMP to shoot it when the eyes are open as they blink rather quickly.
- Alternatively, one hand grenade or a mine dart to his original body is enough to stagger him; note he is immune to incindiary grenades.
- Each eye can only be hit twice after that it will be destroyed and the player will have to shoot the other eyes to incapacitate him. As stated above he has 4 eye balls on his knees, 2 on the front legs and 2 on the rear legs
- The explosive barrels will also instantly incapacitate Saddler if it explodes while near him. Also the 2 platforms near the end of the walkways have steel bars hanging on a crane which if timed right can also incapacitate Saddler if hit.
- If the player is on the opposite side of the walkway Saddler will either throw steel bars at him(which can be avoided by pressing the correct button combination that will flash on the screen) or amazingly jump over there in one bound.
- It IS possible to kill Saddler by simply unloading all your weapons on his body but this is very uneconomic unless you have a weapon with infinite ammunition.
- After dealing some considerable amount of damage to Saddler Ada will throw a Rocket Launcher (Special) to the player which will kill Saddler once and for all.
- You may shoot Saddler's eye when he is incapacitated and then stab him for double damage, but aim carefully.
[edit] Separate Ways
- It will take the player a lot of ammunition and health to draw out his Plaga eye and stab it. Use the Bowgun and shoot at his head to save ammo.
- If the player doesn't press the correct combination when he strikes down, he will push Ada onto the floor and snaps her neck, resulting in an instant death.
- If the player does not type the right button combinations when he swings his tentacle arm at Ada, the player must then shake the joystick to atempt to make Saddler release Ada, otherwise he will impale her with his tentacle spike, resulting in an instant death.
- If the player does not press the correct button combinations when he draws back his hand, he will strike Ada with the palm of his hand (as he did to Leon in the cutscene before the fight). This does not result in an instant death but will drain all the health except for a little, in which any hit will kill, this move is similar to Albert Wesker's force punch ability except it is ranged.
- If he is continually shot with bullet firing weapons such as the Blacktail or the TMP he will amazingly divert all the bullets that were shot into his body to his hand and shoot them back at Ada just like a normal firearm, thus it is advisable that the Bowgun be used when fighting him.
- Saddler also appears to be quite athletic and suprisingly stronger than he looks, as when Ada is forced to fight him, he can jump from the bottom floor to the top floor in one jump, clearing the railing. Also, during the fight between Saddler's monster form and Leon, he can clear the gap between the two catwalks without hesitation.
