Collecting treasures in Resident Evil 4 Remake can be deeply satisfying for completionist players. These ornate items are hidden in clever spots, act as currency with specialized merchants, and even unlock powerful weapons when traded.
However, with over 100 treasures scattered across dark corridors, remote islands and crumbling castles, finding them all is a monumental task. This guide will illuminate the path to every last treasure. We‘ll provide detailed directions, custom maps and pro tips so no gem gets left behind.
Treasure Types and Total Value
Treasures in RE4 Remake range from common items like Rubies and Sapphires to rare Unique Treasures like the Illuminados Pendant. Their value also varies greatly:
| Treasure Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Elegant Chessboard | 500,000 Pesetas |
| Golden Lynx | 100,000 Pesetas |
| Yellow Gemstone | 50,000 Pesetas |
| Elegant Mask | 25,000 Pesetas |
| Flagon | 15,000 Pesetas |
See the appendix for a complete list of treasures by value
The total value of all 102 treasures comes to 5,103,500 Pesetas! That‘s over 5 million Pesetas worth of glittering loot!
To put this wealth into perspective, fully upgrading all weapons and maximum capacity with the merchant costs around 4 million Pesetas. By collecting most treasures, you can become a virtual arms dealer.
Trophy Hunters Rejoice
Gathering treasures doesn‘t just line your pockets with cash for guns galore. Collecting all Island, Castle and Village treasures respectively will unlock the Burglar, Raider and Bandit trophies. Further, gathering all 100 regular and Unique Treasures combined nets the brilliant Trophy Collector achievement.
With treasures offering both wealth and accolades, why delay any longer? Let‘s begin our plunder chronologically by chapter…
Chapter 1 Treasures
Our journey starts where Leon‘s does – in a remote village. Be sure to check every nook, as even humble dwellings conceal gems…
Nabbing Precious Stones from Rooftops
When you first acquire the W-870 shotgun, head upstairs in that house and climb out the window. The Velvet Blue waits on the rooftop to your right. Then in the adjacent house, a Ruby sits tucked behind the front door.
These early treasures set the tone – exploration and observation are key. Now let‘s secure our first major haul after some pesky village tasks…
Solving Blue Medallions
After clearing the 5 Blue Medallions, enter the building behind the merchant. Disarm a trap inside, then access a balcony beyond the spinning fan blades to find a Flagon worth 15,000 Pesetas!
A Ruby also awaits in a drawer back downstairs. That wraps up the pickings here, so carry on towards the Farm.
Farming Pesetas from Pearls
Pass the pig pen to reach the windmill. Shoot down an overhead bell containing a Dirty Pearl Pendant. With the village scoured, new treasures lie ahead after braving the chainsaw freak in the barn. We‘ll pick back up there in Chapter 2…
Chapter 2 Treasures
Having survived the chainsaw encounter, Leon heads to parts unknown. Here treasures glitter like stars in the night sky – if you know where to gaze that is…
Greedy First Haul
Your first stop is the Shack after the Tunnel. Check the small stove‘s open doors to snag a Sapphire. Further ahead when the path splits at a towering rock formation, take the right fork to a chest stashed under a covered shelter.
Solving this ambush requires finding a Small Key hidden downslope. Use it to unlock the 15,000 Pesetas Ruby prize inside!
Lavish Masks and Glittering Gems
Retrace your steps back to the Tunnel‘s start and approach the locked metal door. Pass the merchant and utilize the Insignia Key to reach a fenced off area. Mind traps and terrors as you search for the ambush shelter ahead containing a Sapphire.
Now exit the tunnels and climb the long winding hill to the house near the top. Break in the back way then snatch an Elegant Mask from a locked drawer near the front door – it‘s worth a sizable 25,000 Pesetas!
After the adrenaline peaks and falls battling the chainsaw maniac again, search around the well to spot a Pearl Pendant overhead. Shoot it down after closing the well lid so it doesn‘t fall inside.
Finally, inside the nearby house, a Ruby awaits in the front room‘s drawer just beyond the main foyer.
Optimizing the Collection Route
As the treasures become more far-flung, we need an efficient strategy for gathering them up:
- Grab treasures in immediate proximity first
- Complete side objectives along the way
- Minimize backtracking to previous areas when possible
By chaining together a logical collection route, you get more treasures faster while still advancing the story for key items. This optimized approach avoids wasting time crisscrossing the map multiple times.
Now let‘s put this wisdom into action grabbing Chapter 3‘s gems!
Analyzing Treasure Map ROI
At the start of Leon‘s lengthy castle siege in Chapter 3, he has the option to purchase a Treasure Map from the Merchant.
- Is this mystical chart worth the hefty 150,000 Pesetas price tag?
- How much wealth can the map realistically generate? Let‘s investigate!
The Treasure Map reveals the location of all remaining treasures. Since the castle alone contains 30 treasures worth ~1.5 million Pesetas, the map pays for itself by revealing most of this loot.
Factoring in completion bonuses like unique weapon unlocks and collector trophies, the intel advantage the map provides is nearly priceless! It catapults earnable treasures from maybe 50% to 95%+ WITH optimal routing.
Verdict: The ROI on the Treasure Map is sky-high. Buy it immediately if you hope to collect all treasures and max your arsenal!
Now let us demonstrate the Map‘s power by lifting the fog obscuring every last Chapter 3 gem…
Chapter 3 Treasures
Seeking answers about the former police chief‘s tie to the kidnapping conspiracy, Leon navigates a labyrinthine castle with more dead ends than a mummy‘s tomb.
Thankfully, many of those dead ends contain hidden treasure troves just waiting to be uncovered!
A Compass Points to Ruby Riches
Entering the castle, take the first right into a small dwelling, then unlock the front drawer with the Small Key found back in Chapter 2. This claims a Vintage Compass treasure.
Retrace your steps to the Merchant in the Castle Foyer, then head upstairs. Cross the balcony and disable a trap trigger before entering the far room. Look up, take aim and shoot down the dangling bell to drop a Velvet Blue gem.
An Headdress fit for Royalty
Proceed to the Castle Hall, and take the first right coming from the Foyer. Pass the mirrors and approach the big double doors where church hymn echoes.
Since it‘s locked, circle the hallway exterior for an alternate entrance. There at the dead-end by a torch sits a chest containing the dazzling Elegant Headdress – fit for Ashley perhaps!
Rare Unique Treasures
While all treasures carry monetary and collector value, some unique items offer more exclusive perks:
- The Elegant Chessboard unlocks the ultra-rare Handcannon weapon
- The Girl Statues reveal a hidden shooting gallery to win Bottle Caps
- The Illuminados Pendant and Crown Hierloom are linked to secret tents with treasure traders
Because of these lucrative extras, Unique Treasures should be hot priority targets on any collector‘s list.
Now let‘s take down some more elusive artifacts…
Toppling a Royal Symbol
Inside the Castle Keep, locate the observation tower with dual ladders and a perilous missing middle. Ascend carefully! Up top, snipe the glass bottle dangling from the center beam to acquire the Crown Hierloom.
If your aim rings true, this royal treasure need not be numbered among the missing any longer!
Summoning the Secret Merchant
Upon securing the Crown Heirloom, a surprising development occurs – the appearance of a mystery merchant!
This black market salesman offers exclusive weapons and upgrades in a completely hidden castle location. But the caveat is you can only trade with him a few times by relinquishing rare treasures.
Since the merchant‘s inventory is so unique, collecting eligible treasures like the Elegant Hairpieces or Crown Hierlooms is integral to fully upgrading your arsenal.
Now let‘s comb the countryside for more contraband valuables…
Chapter 10 Treasures
After braving buckets of blood, hordes of horrors and an onslaught of occult happenings across rural Spain, Leon at last infiltrates the source of the mystery – an ominous island laboratory. This sanctuary of science harbors new specimens for your collection!
A Golden Lynx Waits Watchfully
Ascend to the topside Security Station, and access the observation room near the heliport. Within sits a proud, stoic figure – the shimmering Golden Lynx statute! Snatch up this rare 100,000 Peseta prize.
An Insect of Ornate Beauty
Descend into the bowels below the facility next, but be wary of what lurks in the shadows! In an easily overlooked corner besides the main basement stairwell rests the dazzling Ornate Beetle artifact. But is claiming this treasure worth awakening the beasts?
Piercing the Veil of Illusion
Deep underground in the labyrinth of jail cells, engage the spectral warriors by illuminating them with exterior lights. After dispelling the last phantom foe, loot the cell to obtain the enigmatic Red Beryl gemstone from a wall sconce.
Could this mysterious ruby perhaps be one of the missing prison gems referenced in security notes? Our active analysis has literally shed new light helping unveil the legacy of experimentation that transpired here!
The Allure of Rare Spectacular Treasures
Wielding the powerful new Plaga Removal Laser against U3, head to the heliport to be extracted after your harrowing ordeal. But wait – an exterior tower on the roof still calls for closer inspection!
Climb to the pinnacle while dodging artillery to reach a chest with the ultra rare Yellow Diamond. This phenomenal fortune exceeds even Salazar‘s Extravagent Eye in value – truly a coveted trophy for any elite collector!
So concludes our RE4 Remake trek recovering over 100 treasures against all odds. From dazzling diamonds to eerie idols, this bounty should satisfy even the most demanding connoisseurs. Happy hunting my friends!
