Resident Evil 4 Remake has launched with a whopping 40 trophies for players to unlock across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. This includes the prestigious platinum trophy for collecting every other trophy in the game.
I‘ve played through RE4R multiple times across various difficulties to unlock as many trophies as possible. In this guide, I‘ll break down every trophy available and provide tips on how to unlock them all.
Overview of RE4R Trophies
Here‘s a quick overview of the number and types of trophies available:
- 1 Platinum Trophy
- 4 Gold Trophies
- 10 Silver Trophies
- 25 Bronze Trophies
The trophies range from story-based ones you‘ll unlock through regular playthroughs to more specific challenges that require particular strategies.
There‘s also a set of difficulty-related trophies tied to completing the game on Standard, Hardcore, and Professional modes.
And of course, the platinum requires collecting all 40 trophies across the other tiers.
Below I‘ll break down how to unlock each one.
Platinum Trophy
Cuz Boredom Kills Me
Obtain all trophies
This coveted platinum is your reward for unlocking every other trophy in Resident Evil 4 Remake (all 39 of them).
It will likely take at least 5 full playthroughs across various difficulty levels depending on your skill. But the satisfaction of 100%ing RE4R is worth the effort!
Gold Trophies
S+ Rank Investigator
Complete the main story in Hardcore Mode with an S+ rank
Earning an S+ rank requires completing the game quickly, taking little damage, and killing lots of enemies. It‘s doable on Hardcore Mode if you play carefully and know enemy patterns.
Real Deadeye
Earn an S rank in all games at the shooting range
There are 5 shooting range mini games scattered throughout the story. Each one has different weaponry and challenges.
Study the bonus objectives needed for an S rank, and refine your aim for those coveted headshots.
You‘re Small Time!
Defeat Osmund Saddler
The final boss has multiple phases. In the first, target the yellow eyeballs on his tentacles. When he exposes the giant eyeball, use your strongest weapons to deal damage. Then finish him off with the rocket launcher Ada throws.
Peerless Agent
Complete the main story on Professional Mode
Self-explanatory butquite challenging! Professional mode enhances enemy damage and health. Play cautiously and have some backup save files just in case.
Silver Trophies
Mission Accomplished S+
Complete the main story on Standard Mode with an S+ rank
Similar to the Hardcore S+ rank trophy, but a bit more forgiving on Standard difficulty. Clear it quickly and accurately while taking minimal damage.

Stock up on ammo and play cautiously on lower difficulties. Avoid taking hits, and manage your health bar carefully without herbs or first aid sprays.
