All Files and Lore Locations
The Baker estate is littered with documents, notes, and audio logs that flesh out the disturbing history of the Baker family and the events leading up to Ethan's arrival. Collecting all of these "Files" is crucial for understanding the full story and can also provide hints for puzzles or enemy weaknesses. These are often found in drawers, on tables, or tucked away in obscure corners.
Here are some key areas where you'll find a sificant number of Files:
- The Main House: This sprawling mansion is a treasure trove of lore. Explore every room, including the dining room, living room, bedrooms, and hallways. Pay attention to desks, shelves, and even the floor for scattered notes.
- The Guest House: Early in the game, the Guest House contains vital information about Mia and the initial outbreak. Search the kitchen, living area, and any accessible bedrooms thoroughly.
- The Yard and Outbuildings: Don't neglect the exterior areas. Sheds, the trailer, and other small structures often contain important documents that shed light on the Bakers' experiments or past victims.
- The Processing Area and Laboratory: As you progress deeper into the game, these more industrial areas will reveal scientific logs and reports detailing the nature of the Mold and the experiments conducted.
It's highly recommended to be thorough in your exploration. Many Files are easily missed if you're rushing through. Some Files might even offer clues to the solutions of puzzles or the locations of other collectibles. Keeping an eye out for the distinct paper texture of these documents will serve you well in uncovering the full, horrifying truth of Resident Evil 7.
