The Resident Evil 4 remake requests will have you finding blue medallions and other secrets. Here’s how to complete all 19 side missions and the rewards.
The Resident Evil 4 remake requests are bound to keep you busy during your visit to Spain. The merchant has plenty of new tricks up his sleeve, and one of them includes a series of side activities corresponding to each of the three main regions you traverse through.
Blue medallions return, and are arguably the headliner once again, but these optional missions in the Resident Evil 4 remake do more than have you looking up high for shiny things to shoot. They make for a great excuse to explore corners of the map that you might have missed while following the main path. From taking care of rats to fishing, there is plenty for Leon to procrastinate his search for Ashley with.How requests work in Resident Evil 4 remake
There is a total of 19 requests to take care of throughout the course of the story. There is a certain number for each region in the game — the Village, Castle, and Island areas — and you’ll need to complete them before moving on to the next region. Otherwise they’ll be marked as failed.
However, if you start over in a new game plus save after finishing the story once, the progress will remain for the requests’ corresponding challenge. But you’ll have the option to repeat them if you want as they’ll reset in each new playthrough.
Completing requests rewards you with Spinels, which are used for purchasing special items in the merchant’s store. Some of the tasks require you to fetch specific items and sell them, so you’ll be gaining a bit of money for your troubles every now and then, too.
You’ll usually find requests either close to doors as you follow the main path, or around the merchant’s shops. That being said, except for a few that require you to advance past a point in the story first, you can tackle them before finding the request itself.
Here is how to complete all of the Resident Evil 4 remake requests, going from all four blue medallion locations, then all other requests in order.Blue Medallion farm locations (Destroy the Blue Medallions 1)
Area: Farm
Reward: Spinel x3
You’ll need: 5 medallions
The first batch of blue medallions is in the farm area as you’re heading towards the lake. You can either tackle them during your first visit or at any point afterward, as long as you don’t head over to the extraction site in the main story, since you won’t be able to return.
Starting from the southern corner of the area, the first medallion is hanging outside of the house with the typewriter inside.
The second medallion is hanging from the ceiling inside the small barn on the western side of the farm.
The third medallion is behind one of the pillars inside the large barn in the mid-south part of the area, below the word “farm” if you’re looking at the map.
The fourth medallion is hanging from the upper window of the biggest barn toward the north side of the farm.
The fifth medallion is hanging underneath a passage with a broken ledge, which surrounds a door to the circle-shaped structure of the farm area, where you hop inside to activate the mechanism to move forward. From the barn, head over to the upper floor and shoot at it from the outside, standing on the opposite corner.Pest Control
Area: Abandoned Factory
Reward: Spinel x3
You’ll need: 3 rats
As you follow the main story, Leon will end up inside the Abandoned Factory, where you’ll get a handy tutorial regarding stealth and the overall use of your knife. While there isn’t a specific request sign, you’ll come across three rats here. Take care of them using your knife (or your weapons after you’ve recovered your things) to complete the task. Remember to use closed caption subtitles to see the “[rats squeaking]” prompt so you don’t miss them.Viper Hunter
Area: None specified (I recommend the Fish Farm)
Reward: Spinel x4
You’ll need: 3 vipers
In the Village region, you’ll begin to find vipers inside crates like in the original. Killing them will let you grab them as loot, which you can then use to heal yourself or sell to the merchant. For this task, you’ll need three of them, and the Fish Farm is the perfect place to tackle the request, as there are plenty of them swimming on the water. Either knife or shoot them, it doesn’t matter. Retrieve at least three and sell them to the merchant.Grave Robber
Area: Church
Reward: Spinel x2
You’ll need: 2 emblems engraved on tombstones
As you’re heading to the church, you’ll come across a graveyard with a few enemies around. All tombstones have an engraved emblem that you can destroy. Most of them don’t do anything, but if you break the ones from the two tombstones that are placed next each other in the center of the graveyard, you’ll complete the request. I recommend using the knife to save bullets, especially this early on in the story.Blue Medallion quarry, fish farm locations (Destroy the Blue Medallions 2)
Area: Quarry and Fish Farm
Reward: Spinel x4
You’ll need: 5 medallions
The second batch of blue medallions is in both the Quarry and Fish Farm areas as you’re tasked to cross the lake. You can either tackle them during your first visit or at any point afterward, as long as you don’t head over to the extraction site in the main story, since you won’t be able to return.
Here are the quarry and fish farm locations at a glance on a map:
Starting from the Quarry, the first blue medallion is hanging from the tower made out of boards, which is to the upper left of the passage that leads north.
The second blue medallion is on the spot where the boat is located. Head to ground level and aim underneath the boardwalk, facing the side where the emblem puzzle is.
Onto the Fish Farm now. Starting from the eastern side of the area, the third blue medallion is inside the shack with the typewriter.
The fourth blue medallion is hanging on the southern wall of the Fish Farm, to the left of the structure below “Fish Farm” on the map, in between the cracks of the wall.
The fifth blue medallion is underneath the boardwalk up north of the Fish Farm. If you take the ground-level path as you traverse the water in that upper area, head west and you’ll find the medallion at the same level as the divisor line of the map.Egg Hunt
Area: None specified (I recommend east of the lake)
Reward: Spinel x3
You’ll need: 1 gold chicken egg
As you’re investigating the lake on your boat after the boss encounter, you’ll notice a small island right on the eastern side of the lake itself, following the same line as the shipwrecked boat in the center. Take Leon there and hop off to find a chicken farm. If you head to the eastern side (using the map as reference) you’ll find the gold chicken egg. Go ahead and sell it to the merchant during your next stop at his shop.
