The Clockwork Castellan associated with Chapter 4 of the main story in the Resident Evil 4 Remake can only be accessed once you’ve acquired the Insignia Key, which is an essential item that you get during Chapter 2. After defeating the Del Lago monster on the lake, you can explore the lake freely and use the boat to reach the Lakeside Settlement in the northern part of the lake. This leads to the Forest Altar where the Clockwork Castellan can be found.

Location of the Clockwork Castellan in Chapter 4 - Resident Evil 4 Remake¶

Go to the Forest Altar Through the Lakeside Settlement Cave¶

The precise location of the Clockwork Castellan in Chapter 4 is in a place known as the Forest Altar on the map. You can reach this area after passing through a small cave and climbing up a ladder. The cave entrance is in the northern part of the Lakeside Settlement, so you need to use the speedboat to reach this area first. You’ll find a small area to dock on the map.

The entrance to the cave is locked with an iron gate, but you can open it using the Insignia Key. All you need to do then is make your way through the cave and up the ladder at the end. At the top of the ladder you should be able to hear the Clockwork Castellan nearby, but it can be tricky to spot. Walk straight ahead on the opposite end of the altar area from the ladder, and look to your left to see and hear the Castellan more clearly. It’s quite well hidden next to a tree, as you can see in the screenshot below.
