Resident Evil 3 might have its futuristic mega laser, but it’s actually not the only game in the franchise in possession of a one-time superweapon. Resident Evil 4 also features a similar kind of destructive force, although it looks a lot less conspicuous than the prequel’s counterpart.

One of the collectible items in Resident Evil 4, a pair of golden eggs, can actually be used for more than a quick buck from the merchant. The eggs are secretly the weakness of the game’s primary antagonist, Lord Osmund Saddler, and are capable of fully depleting his health in seconds.

Yes, the final boss of Resident Evil 4 can be destroyed using a single egg.

If you keep it around until the fight, using it is actually the easiest and fastest victory you can achieve in the entire game. It’s also the only victory like this, as the egg doesn’t have any real combat applications aside from Saddler's apparent allergy.

It might be worth a lot of money, but on the other hand, the feeling of satisfaction you get from throwing an egg at a giant mutated monster and then watching as it dies in horrible agony is priceless.
