Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) Full Walkthrough

Spoiler Warning: This is a complete story walkthrough with every major puzzle solution, key item location, enemy tip, and collectible note. It covers the entire main campaign (approx. 12-15 hours on Standard).

The game alternates between two protagonists:

• Grace Ashcroft (new FBI analyst) – First-person survival horror (RE7/Village style). Limited inventory (8 slots), focus on evasion, crafting, and resource management.

• Leon S. Kennedy – Third-person action (RE4 Remake style). Larger inventory, knife parries, aggressive combat.

General Tips

• Typewriters are your save points (unlimited ink ribbons).

• Collect 25 Mr. Raccoon statues (shoot/knife them) for the “Bobblehead Hunter” trophy.

• 75 Files, 21 Antique Coins (upgrade shop), 5 Safes, 3 BSAA Containers, 9 Plant Seedlings for 100%.

• Grace: Always check every drawer, desk, and corpse. Combine herbs early.

• Leon: Headshots stagger zombies for easy melee kills.

• The Girl (main enemy in Rhodes Hill) is light-sensitive – stay in darkness or use flashbangs.

• Difficulty carries over between characters; New Game+ unlocks after credits.
