Much like in the main campaign of Resident Evil 4, the Separate Ways DLC features a variety of merchant requests to complete and turn in for some Spinel, which can be used to purchase useful upgrades, keys, and more. You’ll stumble upon two of these requests asking you to find and kill bugs – once in Chapter 5 and again in Chapter 6. In this guide, we’ll tell you where to find them.

Chapter 5 bug locations

The first Bug Buster merchant request can be found as a blue note in plain sight near the merchant toward the end of Chapter 5. After you accept the request, you’ll find yourself tasked with tracking down and eradicating this chapter’s three hidden bugs. When you’re ready to take them out, begin by heading further into the caverns with your gun at the ready.

Bug No. 1

A little way into the caverns will be a lever you have to pull to make some giant pillars move up and down. Carefully make your way between the first and second pillars here, then look up at the ceiling to see the first bug.

Bug No. 2

After making your way through just a bit more of the level, you’ll eventually head up a long flight of stairs that will lead you out of the caverns. After taking out the group of enemies on the landing here, turn around and look back at the stairs you just came up to see the second bug on the ceiling.

Bug No. 3

After clearing this area a bit more, you’ll eventually reach a ladder leading up to the end of the level. Before going up this ladder, look up and to the left to spot the third bug on the wall.

Chapter 6 bug locations

The second Bug Buster merchant request can be found as a blue note in plain site near the merchant in Chapter 6. This time, you’ll once again be tracking down three total bugs, except this time it will be while getting bombarded with mass amounts of gunfire! When you’re ready to get started, hop over the ledge where you picked up the request.

Bug No. 1

Once you’ve jumped down into the open area to take cover to avoid machine gun fire, you can see the first bug on the wall to the left. Due to all of the commotion in this area, you may want to wait until you’ve made it up the ladder on the right side, so you can then turn around and safely look for and shoot it.

Bug No. 2

After clearing your way through this area a bit further, you’ll eventually have to run quickly across a bridge to once again avoid machine gun fire. On the other side of the bridge, look up at a tower ahead to spot the second bug.

Bug No. 3

Just after the second bug, go up the nearby stairs and look out over the barbed wire to spot the third bug in the distance.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch
father and son playing video games

While gaming on a PC is great, it can be very pricey, especially if you're the sort of person who really wants to push the graphics to the limit. Unfortunately, doing that can cost you a big chunk of money, not to mention that it requires the time and effort to put one together. Luckily, consoles like the PS5 and Xbox are easy to use for pretty much anybody and are very much plug-and-play. That said, there aren't a ton of great deals on the consoles themselves right now, although there are still quite a few good bundle deals that are worth grabbing. To that end, we've gone out and collected our favorite Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals, so you can pick whichever one sparks your fancy.

How to fix all paintings in Life is Strange: Double Exposure
Max Caulfield

Life is Strange: Double Exposure tells an emotional and captivating tale that aims to keep you guessing right up till the end, and there are plenty of serious (and occasionally melodramatic) story beats to focus on as you work through this narrative-first adventure. But that doesn't mean there's never any time for a bit of fun on the side. As a matter of fact, you'll encounter a lot of optional content that just exists for worldbuilding purposes in this newest entry in the long-running franchise. One such event occurs in the opening hour of the game when a handwritten note on the wall informs you that some goofball has been turning the art pieces in the Snapping Turtle bar upside down.

If you want to earn a bit of appreciation from art enthusiasts, as well as net the "Art Restoration" trophy and achievement, you'll want to fix all three paintings in the Snapping Turtle bar. Here are their locations.

How to kill the Nord Mines dragon in Metaphor: ReFantazio (and why you should)
The main character in an anime cutscene for Metaphor: ReFantazio.

The opening hours of Metaphor: ReFantazio sends you to a variety of unique places as you're introduced to its interesting world and gameplay design. After the game's initial segments play out, you'll soon find yourself exploring your first main dungeon — a place known as the Nord Mines. This lengthy dungeon stretches on for an hour or so and includes another fight against a human boss. But right as you're getting ready to reach the end of the mines, you'll stumble across a room with a sleeping dragon where your team decides it might be smarter to sneak around it and avoid combat.

Because of the way the game pushes you toward stealth in this room, you may be convinced that waking and fighting the dragon is a really bad idea. However, you might be surprised to hear that the dragon actually isn't that difficult to defeat, and doing so can earn you an extremely powerful weapon. Let's take a look at what you need to know about the Nord Mines dragon.
How to kill the Nord Mines dragon (and why you should)
When you reach the room with the sleeping dragon in Nord Mines, you can choose to stealth around the outer rim of the area or face the dragon by approaching it. We'd recommend you approach and fight the dragon, as defeating it isn't as difficult as the game hints it'll be.
