Resident Evil 8 All Animal Locations

[Cinda People]

ResidentEvil Village animal locations are important to find Quality Meat, Finest Fish and Juicy Game. These resources can be used to cook meals that will boost your health, movement speed, and defense. There's a lot of basic animal meat, poultry, and fish in Resident Evil Village which isn't to hard to find. However, the higher level versions are much more complicated as there's only one of each to be found from a specific animal. And, you won't see an animal location for these special meats on your Village map either.

You won't be able to find or use these important resources before beating Castle Dimitrescu, but once past that point you'll be able to track them down and start boosting stats. Basic animal meat will boost your health, movement speed, and defense,with the Quality Meat, Finest Fish and Juicy Game variations offering the max level upgrade available.

Coming up we'll show you all the Resident Evil Village animal locations below, with the higher level versions marked out. To make use of whatever you find, take the animal meat, poultry, and fish you find to The Duke where you can use them to cook recipes in The Duke's Kitchen to get the character boosts.

You can't miss your first batch of fish, as you'll wander through a pool of them when leaving Castle Dimitrescu. It's in an area that you can't return to later, as the doors lock once you leave. However, these are basic fish, which are plentiful, so it's not the end of the world if you miss them.

You can get some more fish as soon as you return to the Village after leaving Castle Dimitrescu. If you go back up the path to reach the castle you'll discover the drawbridge is raised and you can't get back in. However, the water to the left now has some fish in.

You'll find your first pig in Old West Town, probably during the objective to 'find the house with the red chimney'. If you visit the house marked on the map, you'll see two doors - head into the one on the left and you'll find the pig. Be ready though as it'll charge on sight, so shoot it before it hurts you.

These chickens are another animal you'll probably find on the way to the 'find the house with the red chimney' objective. To get into the area with the house in question you'll have to take a ladder up onto the rooftops and the chickens will be hard to miss in the yard below that you'll drop into.

This pig is one of the Resident Evil Village Quality Meat items that limits certain recipes. You'll find it in the yard behind the hut where you found Elena and her father on the way to Luiza's house. It won't be there initially though and only spawns after you've completed Castle Dimitrescu.

You'll find an angry, quick to attack goat in the gardens on the way to House Beneviento at some point after you complete that objective. It's not clear when, as we revisited the area a few times before it appeared. However, it was there when we returned with the Broken Slab needed to complete the grave outside her house.

These pigs will be hard to miss when you head to Moreau's Reservoir and reach the windmill. You'll have to blow up a green slime barrier to reach a ladder and the pigs will be immediately obvious as you climb over.

When you find the boat you use to reach Moreau's Reservoir you'll disembark onto a jetty that leads to a green plastic tent. To the right there will be a lamp shining, which highlights a cave mouth. Head into the opening and follow it to the end where you'll find some fish. Get them before entering the tent as you'll trigger a cutscene if you do, and will not be able to get back.

Once you've drained Moreau's Reservoir you'll be able to return to the area where you first found the boat. The area will now be drained and you'll be able to go through the windmill (where you probably saw a treasure chest you couldn't reach earlier). Follow the path around, under the windmill, and you'll find some fish in a pool at the bottom.

On the way to Moreau's Reservoir you will have passed through this part of the Village from the very start of the game, and might have seen some chickens behind a gate you couldn't open. Once you have the crank you will be able to open the door and get at them.

When you can lower the drawbridge near the Ceremony Site you can reach this area via a boat that becomes available. Here you'll find one of Resident Evil Village's finest fish, which is one of the unique ingredients you need for the recipe Sarmale de Peste, which increases your movement speed.

Inside Otto's Mill you'll find a fight, as there's a giant axe wielding monster and some flying enemies. But if you can get through it you'll find a red door with three smashable padlocks on it. Inside you'll find a meat locker with some poultry, meat and fish to take.

I'll be honest I don't know when this appears as it was the last animal I found, although it looks like it's in the graveyard as soon as animals appear in the game. It's also a key, unique ingredient for one meal, the Tochitura du Pui which increases your health greatly. It's a blue bird that appears in a tree over the only grave with a headstone you can read.

There are six Resident Evil Village recipes that will permanently increase some of your attributes like health and damage avoided with blocking. Three of them can be made with basic fish, poultry and meat ingredients, while three require unique ingredients that can only be found once.

The animal meat you can find comes in three base types, and can include rarer quality meat used for some of the more powerful upgrades. However, the locations of several types of animals can be missed, and while you only need a certain amount to get every upgrade, it can be easy to miss out on the upgrades early.

I finished my first playthrough missing a few missable fish locations (e.g. in the Moreau area). When you kill all animals in a hunting location it gets crossed out on the map and the animals don't respawn in the current playthrough. But do they respawn in NG+ or do i have to go for the locations i missed in previous playthroughs specifically?

How does hunting work in Resident Evil Village? Meat and fish are finite in this game, so once you've killed some animals you'll need to think very carefully about which recipes you want to unlock. Your knife is often the best tool for neutralising smaller livestock, but it's worth keeping a shotgun handy for larger creatures.

Hunting is nice and simple as you only encounter a few creatures at a time. That said, it's always worth exploring each area as you come across clues that point you in the direction of some rare meat. I'm here to fill you in on everything you need to know about Resident Evil Village hunting, and give you some tips to help you get started.

Over the course of the game, you'll see different animals appear on your map. These hunting locations are clearly labelled with the animal roaming there. Here are all the animals you can hunt in Resident Evil Village and the meat they drop:

Don't waste ammo

Animals in Resident Evil Village have varying levels of HP. Fish and chickens can be killed with a single swipe of your knife, but larger, more aggressive livestock like pigs and rams are significantly harder to take down. In these cases, it's worth whipping out your shotgun to neutralise them quickly. That is, unless you prefer hoarding ammo, like me. If you're patient enough you can take out everything with your knife, just prepare to dodge some angry farm animals.

Keep an eye on the map

This sounds obvious, but it's easy to forget that you'll need to do a fair amount of backtracking once you've found specific keys and unlocked new areas. Once an animal pops up on your map, I recommend heading to the marker as soon as possible. Ideally, you'll get your hands on ingredients as soon as they appear so you can take them to the Duke and make the most of the buffs from his recipes.

Don't sell your ingredients

There are plenty of ways to get money (Lei) in Resident Evil 8, so there's no need to sell your precious ingredients. You won't come across many animals as you explore the Village and its surrounding areas, and the last thing you want to do is part with a sliver of meat only to realise that you needed it for a recipe later on. Stick to selling your treasures to the Duke instead.

Hunt for clues

Some ingredients aren't always in plain sight. For example, you'll need to find a photograph to work out where you can pick up some Juicy Game. Rare meats and fish are also usually tucked away down a side road or well-hidden portion of the map. It's best to take your time combing each area and examining all your key items to ensure you don't miss anything.
