Story Synopsis

Six years after the Raccoon City incident, Leon S. Kennedy — now a U.S. government agent — is sent to a remote rural village in Spain to rescue Ashley Graham, the President’s kidnapped daughter. The villagers are infected by Las Plagas, an ancient mind-controlling parasite, and are relentlessly hostile. Tracking Ashley through the village, a medieval castle ruled by the Salazar family, and a militarised island base, Leon uncovers a plot by the cult Los Iluminados and its leader Osmund Saddler to spread the Plaga worldwide. Along the way Leon is aided by rogue agent Ada Wong and former comrade Luis Sera.

100% Completion Roadmap

The cleanest path to 100% follows these steps. Because treasure progress does not carry into New Game+, all 104 treasures MUST be collected in a single playthrough.

Complete the story on Assisted or Standard difficulty. Collect every treasure, Clockwork Castellan, and complete every Merchant Request along the way. Buy all weapons and weapon parts from the Merchant as you progress. This single run should net you the bulk of trophies including Bandit (all village treasures), Burglar (all island treasures), and Revolt Against the Revolting (all Castellans).

New Game+ on Professional difficulty. With upgraded weapons carried over, tackle the hardest difficulty. Aim for an A-rank to unlock the Chicago Sweeper (or S-rank for additional rewards). Grab any chapter-specific trophies you missed using manual saves between chapters.

Mercenaries mode — S-rank all 3 maps. Unlocking the Handcannon requires S-rank on all Mercenaries stages (or completing Professional without using bonus weapons). Master the combo system and character abilities.

Separate Ways DLC. Ada Wong’s side campaign adds new chapters, weapons, and its own trophy list. Complete it for full series completion.

Tip: Keep a manual save after each chapter during your first playthrough. This lets you reload later for any chapter-specific trophies without replaying the whole game.

Key Mechanics

Shooting & Combat

Aim for headshots to stun enemies and trigger melee prompts (roundhouse kick). Staggered enemies can be suplexed or stabbed. Body shots build stagger; leg shots can drop enemies to their knees for a follow-up melee.

Parrying & Knives

The Combat Knife is essential: L1/Right-Click parries incoming melee attacks (including chainsaws) and breaks grabs. Knives degrade with use — repair them at the Merchant. The Primal Knife (unlock: all 16 Castellans) never breaks.

Crafting

Combine gunpowder + resources to craft handgun/shotgun/rifle ammo, and combine herbs to make healing items. Recipes are unlocked by finding Crafting Recipes (5 total) sold or found in the world.

The Merchant

The hooded Merchant buys your treasures, sells weapons/upgrades/attache cases, and posts Merchant Requests (blue letters on walls). Completing requests rewards Spinels, a special currency used to trade for exclusive weapons (Punisher, Matilda) and items.

Attache Case (Inventory)

Inventory is a tetris-style grid. Buy larger cases from the Merchant (M, L, XL). Attach Charms (from Shooting Range tokens) to cases for passive bonuses like ammo crafting discounts.

Treasure Combos & Gemstones

Some treasures (Elegant Mask, Flagon, Butterfly Lamp, etc.) have gem slots. Insert gemstones to dramatically increase sale value. Same-colour gems in multiple slots give the biggest bonus. The Astute Appraiser trophy requires selling a single treasure for 100,000+ ptas (the Elegant Crown with the right gems).

Missables & Warnings

CRITICAL: There is no Chapter Select and no free-roam after finishing the story. Once you leave a region (Village → Castle → Island) you can NEVER return. All non-story trophies are technically missable.

Treasure progress does NOT carry to New Game+. You must collect all 104 treasures in one playthrough for the Bandit and Burglar trophies. Buy the Treasure Map for each region from the Merchant so treasures appear on your map.

Weapons are missable if you don’t pick them up in the world (W-870, Red9, Boot Knife, CQBR, LE-5, Fighting Knife). You only need to have owned each weapon once — you can sell them afterwards.

Chapter-specific trophies (e.g. Shield Your Eyes, Overkill, Hope You Like Thrill Rides!, You Talk Too Much!, Wave Goodbye, Right Hand) can be missed. Keep manual saves per chapter to retry them.

Castellans stay saved once destroyed, even if you die. Merchants, typewriters, and treasure progress save at the last checkpoint.

Weapon Upgrades

How Upgrades Work

Each weapon has upgradeable stats at the Merchant: Power, Rate of Fire, Reload Speed, Capacity, Ammo. Fully upgrading a stat unlocks the weapon’s Exclusive Upgrade (a unique perk). Exclusive Upgrades become available from Chapter 7 onward (Castle).

Exclusive Upgrade Ticket

The Exclusive Upgrade Ticket (costs 30 Spinels) instantly unlocks any weapon’s exclusive upgrade without fully upgrading it first. Save it for your main weapon. Recommended uses:

SG-09 R — 5x critical hit chance (huge headshot payoff)
Red9 — +1.5x damage (massive per-shot power)
Striker — infinite ammo (if not using bonus weapons)
Broken Butterfly / Killer7 — boosted magnum damage

Pro tip: Focus your ptas on 1–2 main weapons rather than spreading upgrades thin. A fully-upgraded pistol + shotgun carries most of the game.

Treasures & Collectibles

There are 104 treasures across the three regions. Treasures are sold to the Merchant for ptas (currency). Treasure progress does NOT carry to New Game+ — you must collect all 104 in a single playthrough for the Bandit (Village) and Burglar (Island) trophies.

Buy the Treasure Map for each region from the Merchant (Village, Castle, Island). This marks all treasure locations on your map so none are missed.

Treasures by Region

Region	Chapters	Treasures	Trophy
Village	Ch. 1–6	39	Bandit (collect all village treasures)
Castle	Ch. 7–12	41	—
Island	Ch. 13–16	24	Burglar (collect all island treasures)
Total	—	104	—

Treasure Combos & Gemstones

Certain treasures have gem slots. Inserting gemstones increases their sale value dramatically. The value bonus depends on gem colour combinations:

Combination	Bonus
All same colour (e.g. 5x same)	Highest multiplier
2 same + others	Medium bonus
All different colours	Lower bonus

Gem-Slot Treasures

Elegant Mask — 3 slots
Flagon — slots
Butterfly Lamp — 3 slots
Elegant Crown — 5 slots (BEST treasure)
Chalice of Atonement — slots
Ornate Beetle — slots

Astute Appraiser trophy: Sell a single treasure worth 100,000+ ptas. Use the Elegant Crown (Ch.10/13) with 5 different gems, or 2x Yellow Diamond + 3x Red Beryl, to exceed 100,000 ptas.

Clockwork Castellans (All 16)

One Clockwork Castellan figurine is hidden in each of the 16 chapters. Shoot/destroy them. Destroying all 16 unlocks the Primal Knife (a knife that never breaks) and the Revolution Wind-up / Revolt Against the Revolting trophy.

Cubic Device

The Cubic Device (found in Chapter 9) opens Square Lock Boxes scattered through the Castle. These contain valuable treasures and weapons (CQBR, Golden Lynx, Butterfly Lamp, Justitia Statue, Gold Chicken Egg). Don’t miss any lock boxes after obtaining it.

Small Keys

Small Keys open locked drawers (marked with a lock icon) throughout each region. They are in limited supply — there are more drawers than keys in some areas, so prioritise high-value drawers. Found in Chapters 2, 3, 8, 9, 12.

Merchant Requests — All 19

Merchant Requests are blue letters posted on walls in the world. Accepting one marks objectives on your map. Completing each rewards 3 Spinels (a special currency for trading with the Merchant). Completing all 19 earns the Jack of All Trades trophy.

Missable: Requests must be completed in the chapter they appear. You can’t return to a region once you leave it.

Enemies & Bosses

RE4 Remake features a variety of infected enemies across the three regions. Understanding enemy types and weak points is key to surviving on higher difficulties.

Enemy Types

Enemy	Region	Behavior / Weakness
Ganados	Village	Infected villagers. Headshots stun → melee. Some wield chainsaws (Dr. Salvador) or explosives.
Zealots	Castle	Robed cultists. Similar to Ganados but tougher; some wear helmets/armor requiring leg shots.
Militia	Island	Armed soldiers with body armor. Use melee and precision shots to exposed areas.
Colmillos	Village/Castle	Infected dogs. Fast; lunge attacks. Shoot or knife; beware the back-parasite form.
Garradors	Castle	Blind, hunt by sound. Sneak & backstab; bells distract them. Exposed parasite on back = weak point.
Brutes	Various	Hammer or crossbow variants. Tanky; stun with headshots then melee. Heavy hitters.
Plaga (Mandibula)	All	Spider-like parasite from burst Ganado heads. Vulnerable to flash grenades (instakill).
Plaga (Arana)	Castle/Island	Spider Plaga that jumps and latches. Flash grenades instakill.
Plaga (Guadaña)	Castle/Island	Whip-tentacle Plaga with long reach. Flash grenades instakill.
Armadura	Castle	Animated suits of armor. Shoot the Plaga inside the helmet; some require breaking armor first.
Regeneradores	Island	Regenerate health. Use the Biosensor Scope to see internal parasites and shoot them.
Novistadors	Castle/Island	Invisible insects that spit acid and lunge. Track by sound/displacement; flash/stun them.
Summoners	Castle	Spawn Plagas endlessly. Kill them quickly to stop reinforcements.

Flash grenades instakill all exposed Plaga forms (Mandibula, Arana, Guadaña). Always carry a few.

Boss Strategies

BOSS Del Lago (Ch.3)

Lake boss. Steer the boat and throw harpoons — only hit when its mouth is open. Avoid debris to prevent boat damage. A long fight; stay patient.

BOSS El Gigante (Ch.4)

Shoot the head until the parasite emerges, then damage the parasite. The rescued dog distracts it. Dodge charges and grabs; use explosive barrels.

BOSS Bitores Mendez (Ch.6)

Phase 1: climb to upper platform, shoot from above, melee when stunned. Phase 2: he hangs from rafters — shoot barrels, dodge sweeps, hit the weak point.

Phase 1: upper platform + shoot
Phase 2: barrels + weak point

BOSS Garrador (Ch.7)

Blind, hunts by sound. Sneak and backstab. Use bells to distract. Knife-only kill earns the Never Heard It Coming trophy.

BOSS Garrador Pair (Ch.10)

Two Garradors. Ring bells to distract one while you backstab the other. Walk, never run.

BOSS Verdugo (Ch.10)

Use liquid nitrogen wall panels to freeze, then shoot for bonus damage. Each panel works once. Killing him earns Wave Goodbye, Right Hand trophy — don't escape via elevator.

Freeze with LN2 panels
Shoot while frozen
Don't escape — kill for trophy

BOSS Two Gigantes (Ch.11)

Unarmored: damage Plagas, knock into lava. Armored: wait for Luis's dynamite to strip armor, then repeat. Use the lava trap.

BOSS Krauser (Ch.11 & Ch.14)

Ch.11: scripted knife duel — parry, slash, dodge. Ch.14: 3 phases. Ruins: parry blade arm. Path: tripmines/turrets. Final: shoot feet, dodge grab, ladder bait.

Ch.11: knife duel — parry & slash
Ch.14 P1: ruins — parry blade
Ch.14 Path: tripmines & turrets
Ch.14 Final: shoot feet, dodge grab

BOSS Ramon Salazar (Ch.12)

Shoot the human body inside the monster's mouth. Avoid black goo (use cover). Ceiling phase = grenade window (You Talk Too Much trophy). Ada throws the Special Rocket Launcher to finish.

Shoot human body in mouth
Use cover vs goo
Ceiling phase = grenade window

BOSS Osmund Saddler (Ch.16)

Phase 1: shoot 4 leg eyes to stun, melee face. Phase 2: shoot center eye, dodge tentacles. Finish with Ada's Special Rocket Launcher.

Phase 1: 4 leg eyes → melee face
Phase 2: center eye, dodge tentacles
Finish: Special Rocket Launcher

Tip: Charms give bonuses like reduced crafting costs or extra ammo. Equip the most useful ones for your playstyle.

Tips for S-Rank

Never let your combo break — plan routes between enemy spawns.
Use the 60-second time bonuses (green orbs) to extend your run.
Save Mayhem mode (super state) for high-density waves.
Headshots and melee finishers rack up bonus points.

Separate Ways DLC
