Resident Evil 4: How to Find the Church Key
After you complete the boss fight on the lake, you will wake up in the boat where you passed out. However, you will find that the boat started leaking, so you have no choice but to head into the boathouse at this point.
While you are in the Boathouse, you can find a Tattered Officer’s Cap to add to your files. This is likely from the officer that you saw getting thrown into the lake and devoured by the lake monster in Chapter Three.
Now head outside. You will be able to hear some strange chanting. While you are out there, break the barrels and chests in the area before heading down the forest path. Here is where you will encounter your first new enemy: a variation of the typical Ganado that has tentacles sprouting out of its head.
These enemies are a bit more difficult to take down and can very easily deal more damage to you since they have a long-range with their tentacles, but they can still be taken out with headshots.
There will be two of them on your path, but that’s it.
Keep heading down the path and parts an altar that is completely covered in blood.
When you enter the Mural Caves, you can stop along the way to look at the murals shown along the cave walls.
Carry on into the next room, where you will find the Church Insignia Key. However, you can’t collect the key until you’ve got two more pieces to the puzzle, the Apostate’s Head and the Blasphemer’s Head.
In the next room, you can find a mural that shows you where to find both heads.
