Resident Evil 9: Requiem Contains 75 File Locations. Finding all Files unlocks the Case Closed trophy and achievement.
Files can be tracked through the “Files” menu next to the inventory. This shows them by name so you can pinpoint exactly which ones you are missing. The in-game list doesn’t always follow the correct chronological order. This guide shows them in the chronological order you can reach them, but also has the full list from the in-game file menu order for easy comparison. This way you can quickly pinpoint what you’re missing. You can keep track of total progress under Challenges > Case Closed.
Everything in Resident Evil 9: Requiem is missable as there is no chapter select, but if you keep a manual save from each area you can still return everywhere.
Files List (in-game menu order)
This list shows the file names in the same order as the in-game list under “Files” categorized into the 4 main areas. If you end up missing a file, compare against this list to find the missing file name, then search for it here (CTRL+F on PC / ‘Find on Page’ on Mobile).
