Resident Evil 9: Requiem has 136 Collectible Locations. This collectible guide shows all collectibles for 100% game completion and all missable trophies & achievements. There are the following types of collectibles:
- 25 Mr. Raccoon Memoriam –
You Little Rascal! - 75 Files – Case Closed
- 5 Safes – No Safe is Safe
- 3 BSAA Containers – Crate Expectations
- 9 Plant 43 Seedlings – Not Today, Buds!
- 19 Antique Coins – needed for Upgrades
You Little Rascal!This guide also includes all Key Items, Upgrades, Weapons, Weapon Parts, Antique Coins, and Missable Trophies, which brings the total count to 235 items. There are also 44 Models and 56 Concept Arts, but these are bought from the Bonus Menu and not picked up in the world.
Everything in Resident Evil Requiem is missable as there is no chapter select, but if you keep a manual save from each area you can still return everywhere. Collectibles are tracked through the in-game Challenge Menu. However, some challenge trackers are only visible after beating the game once on any difficulty. Files can also be viewed through the “Files” Menu next to the inventory. Mr. Raccoons and Files count across all playthroughs. For Mr. Raccoons you can buy maps after the first playthrough from the Bonus Menu, which will mark all of them.
This guide is based on Casual/Standard difficulty. Some items have different locations on Insanity, particularly the Antique Coins.
The best approach is to collect everything on the first playthrough. Then if you’re missing anything you can refer to the guides by type and clean up on the next playthrough. Finding all collectibles on the first playthrough is recommended to get the CP (Challenge Points) to buy items in the Bonus Menu, and also so you don’t need to spend time during the Speedrun.
