Resident Evil Village Trophy Guide

Resident Evil is one of the most iconic video game franchises out there. Over the years, it has pioneered the survival horror genre, supported a series of films, and has gone on to support multiple series of video game titles. The most recent mainline release was Resident Evil Village, the eighth mainline game. The game sought to return to the blend of survival horror and action found in the iconic Resident Evil 4, and it was both a critical and commercial success by doing so. The title is one of the biggest horror releases in recent years and has an excellent platinum trophy for players to hunt down.

Resident Evil Village Platinum Walkthrough

Before we get into the details of each trophy you’ll grab throughout the game, we’ll go through a comprehensive walkthrough. This will give you a good overview of what to expect if you are debating whether or not to tackle this challenge and help make your attempt as efficient as possible.

Step One: It Takes a Village

For your first playthrough, you’ll be getting all of the game’s story trophies, collectibles, and random missable ones out of the way. You can play on any of the three difficulties available right away: Casual, Standard, or Hardcore for this playthrough. However, I highly recommend playing on casual to get through this stage as quickly as possible and to allow you to gather as many resources as possible to make getting some of the upcoming trophies less of a headache.

Regardless of which difficulty you play on, you’ll also want to try and accumulate as much Lei as possible. You can still buy inventory upgrades and the recipe to craft either shotgun or sniper rifle ammo, depending on which you prefer, but you should try to spend as little as possible besides those. This is because the subsequent two playthroughs will be New Game+ runs, and carrying your Lei over will help you a lot moving forward. After you beat the game, yyou’llalso wants to save your completed save file in a new slot that you can use for your New Game+ run.

Step Two: Knife to Meet You

This playthrough will focus on getting a small handful of the more challenging trophies out of the way in one New Game+ run. Before you start your playthrough, you’ll have to go to the Extra Content Shop to unlock the Karambit Knife. This will open Chris RRedfield’s faster knife for purchase from the Duke in all of your save files for only 100 Lei. Then, you can start this playthrough, but you’ll definitely want to do so on Casual difficulty this time. Then, from the start of your playthrough, only use melee attacks until you first meet the Duke before entering Castle Deimitrescu. Purchase the Karambit Knife from him and only use that for the rest of your playthrough.

During this playthrough, you should also try and get three other trophies out of the way. The first of these is for completing the game in under three hours. This can be difficult, but the Casual difficulty will help make it so that you can sprint through most encounters as fast as possible, especially since you should know where you are going and what to do at any point in the game from your first playthrough. Secondly, after purchasing the Karambit, you should spend as little Lei as possible to help you get the trophy for spending less than 10,000 Lei in one playthrough. Finally, you’ll also be going for another trophy that requires you to finish the playthrough without using more than four healing items. Even on casual, this will likely need you to be very smart with your healing items to make sure you get as much out of each one you use as possible.

Again, yyou’llalso wants to make sure to save your completed game file in a new save slot to use for your final playthrough.

Trophies in this Step

• Don’tTrust That Snake Oil
• Dashing Dad
• Frugal Father
• Knives Out

Step Three: The Hard Part

For your third playthrough, you’ll again want to start it in New Game+ while also playing it on the Village of Shadows difficulty unlocked after your first playthrough. This difficulty is challenging and may take you quite a while to work through it. I highly recommend purchasing two more things from the Extra Content Shop to make this easier. These are the Infinite Ammo – GM79 and Infinite Ammo – S.T.A.K.E. Of these two, the Infinite Ammo – S.T.A.K.E. is by far the most important for playing on this difficulty. However, before you can purchase that, you have to fully upgrade it in one of your playthroughs. To do this, you’ll need to have amassed a total of 2,100,000 Lei between your first two playthroughs, which is why you shouldn’t spend them too much up to this point. Then, you can jump into your save file just before you finish your playthrough to purchase the gun, its attachments, and all of its upgrades to unlock the Infinite Ammo unlock.

Trophies in this Step

• Best Dad Ever
• World’s Best Dad
• Universe’s Best Dad

Step Four: Mercenaries and Leftovers

After your first playthrough, you’ll also unlock the Mercenaries mode. The mode is much more action-focused than the story and features players tackling stages to get as many points as possible without dying. You may also have some trophies leftover that require you to unlock more content in the Extra Content Shop at this point, which you should have enough resources to afford now that you’ve completed the game three times.

When You Gotta Go…

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy opens all ten Outhouses in the VVillagein a single playthrough.

Tips: The ten outhouses are below.

Outhouse Number	Area	Location
1	Village (first visit)	On the other side of the first house, you can open.

3	Village (second visit)	In the front yard of LLuiza’s’House.

Trick Shot

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy is for killing an enemy with a sniper rifle.

Strategist

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy is for killing three enemies with one attack.

Tips: The easiest way to do this is to get more than three enemies to group up and follow yous in the village. You can then hit the group with an explosive barrel, mine, pipe bomb, or explosive rounds in the grenade launcher to take them down.

Medium Rare

Fast Reflexes

Leader of the Pack

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy is for killing the Varcolac Alfa.

Tips: The Varcolac Alfa is a hidden boss that will appear in the Fallow Plot after you finish the Reservoir. However, it is a mighty enemy, so you’ll want to be well equipped when you face him and should not attempt the fight on your second playthrough.

Timber

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy is for killing Urias during the first Lycan attack in the village

Tips: Urias is the giant with the large hammer that appears at the very start of the game. The easiest way to kill him before the cutscene triggers is to start a Casual New Game+ with the infinite ammo upgrade for the S.T.A.K.E. This will let you burn through his health quickly and should only take you a few minutes to do.

Photographer

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy is for using Photo Mode.

Lucky Number 7

Rarity: Bronze

Description: This trophy is for having a total of 777, 7,777, or 77,777 Lei at any point.

There are five customizable parts that you will find during your playthrough, while the other 17 must all be purchased from Duke.

Don’t Trust the Snake Oil

Rarity: Gold

Description: This trophy is for finishing the game only using four or fewer recovery items, which you should attempt during your second playthrough.

Dashing Dad

Rarity: Silver

Description: This trophy is for finishing the game in less than 3 hours, which you should attempt during your second playthrough.

Tips: Once you get the knife and the pistol, when you first enter the Village during your second playthrough, you’ll have to only use the knife from there on out, including not using flashbangs. However, you can use guns to complete puzzles, get treasures, and during boss fights where you have to use a gun to deal damage to them. This also means that you cannot use the laser gun in the battle against Urias Strajer when playing as Chris.

Combo King

Rarity: Bronze

Legendary Cowboy

The number of points players get is based on their combo, how long it took them to complete the stage if they killed all of the enemies, and how much Lei they have. To make doing so as easy as possible, you’ll likely want to play through the mode a few times to familiarize yourself with the enemies you can expect to come across and their positions. Then, attempt a run mainly using the sniper rifle accompanied by a pistol to switch to if you need to reload so that you can keep your combo going and get it as high as possible.
