Collectible Achievements
This section focuses on achievements and trophies related to finding various collectibles scattered throughout Resident Evil Village. Unlike story achievements, these often require thorough exploration and backtracking. Successfully acquiring these will not only net you valuable achievement points but also unlock concept art, models, and other extras in the bonus content shop.
Many of these collectibles are missable if you progress too far without finding them, so it's highly recommended to consult this guide during your playthrough, especially on your first run. We'll cover the locations and strategies for obtaining all the key collectible-based achievements, ensuring you don't miss a single one.
- Cynic: Destroy one of the Goat of Warding statues.
- Heretic: Destroy all 20 Goat of Warding statues.
- These small, wooden goat statues emit a distinct creaking sound when nearby, making them easier to locate. They are often hidden in plain sight or slightly off the beaten path.
- A good strategy is to keep an ear out for their sound and thoroughly check every corner of an area before moving on. Many are found in the main village, Castle Dimitrescu, House Beneviento, Moreau's Reservoir, and Heisenberg's Factory.
- There are several excellent video guides available online that show the precise location of each goat if you're struggling to find the last few.
- Artisan: Craft every type of item.
- This achievement requires you to craft every single item available through the crafting menu. This includes various types of ammo, health items, and explosives.
- You'll naturally unlock most of these recipes by finding them in the environment or purchasing them from the Duke. Ensure you craft at least one of each item type at any point during your playthrough.
- Don't worry about crafting every item in a single run; the game tracks your overall crafting progress across saves.
- Mapmatician: Complete the village map.
- To earn this achievement, you need to explore every single room and area on the game's map until no red areas remain.
- Pay close attention to the map as you play. Any red sections indicate unexplored areas. Even small closets or dead-end hallways need to be entered for the map to register them as "complete."
- This is best done on a New Game+ run where you have better weapons and can move through areas more quickly, allowing for thorough exploration without as much combat pressure.
