The Merciless Knight is a gold-cladded knight that is far tougher than its friends. But you will also need to take care of some of its friends while you’re there. If you want to complete this request, then just follow our guide below.

Merciless Knight location – RE4 Remake
You will pick this request up near the entrance to the Library after starting the chapter.
During Chapter 9 you will have ventured down into the Library and then into the Mausoleum to solve the Lantern puzzle, and now that you have control of Leon again in Chapter 10, you can return to the Library and the Mausoleum, but with big guns.
The Merciless Knight is waiting in the Mausoleum, which is behind the first Grandfather Clock door that you encounter upon entering the Library. Head straight down and you’ll see the Merciless Knight stood next to two of its friends.
Merciless Knight fight – RE4 Remake
The gold-clad knight is incredibly tough. To make things easier on you, you should attempt to take the helmets off its friends first and perhaps throw a Flash Grenade. Ensuring this fight is a one-on-one is the key to success.
The plaga inside the gold knight is much bigger than usual, and sprouts from the back of the suit of armor. You can attack the plaga directly with gunshots to the back of the neck, or even knife stabs if you’re fast enough.
Remember, you can parry and dodge the attacks of knights, so keep your knife button at the ready. Once you take off the helmet, you’ll have a much easier time taking down this fierce foe.
