Resident Evil 4 Ps4 Trophy Guide

[Luisa Rodocker]

Welcometo the Resident Evil 4 Remake Trophy Guide! Following the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 it is now time for the remake of the genre-defining classic from 2005. While being very close to the original game in terms of story and locations, the game got changed a lot and will catch even veterans by surprise. Gameplay is similar to the previous remakes, but faster and more action-focused. The parry mechanic is a new addition and is definitely something you will have to master throughout your multiple playthroughs of the game.

There are a total of 4 special weapons you can unlock. Costumes and accessories can be changed in the Story Menu and will be active for all your savefiles and will not void any challenges or trophies.

The S Rank requirements are very lenient. Kill enemies in quick succession to keep up your combo and get as many kills as possible before dying or time running out. If you can do x100 kills combo (displayed in top right corner) you should get enough points for an S-Rank (S+ and S++ not required). Play as Leon, activate the green bubbles for bonus time and yellow bubbles for instant Mayhem Mode. When stronger enemies spawn, activate Mayhem Mode with + and shoot them with the Sniper or Shotgun for a quick kill. Other than that just try to stay alive as long as possible and kill enemies in quick succession to keep up your combo. You can shoot enemies in the leg with the pistol and then perform a kick when the button prompt shows to instant kill them. This saves ammo and also hurts surrounding enemies. When your health gets low press to open inventory and consume a health spray or herbs.

In the first playthrough you will want to get all collectibles and chapter-specific trophies out of the way. Playing on Assisted is recommended to make the chapter-specific trophies easier but you can also play on Standard if you prefer a more authentic horror-survival experience. Simply follow the collectible guide and you will get everything possible on the first playthrough: Resident Evil 4 Remake Collectible Guide. Should you get stuck anywhere you can also refer to Resident Evil 4 Remake Walkthrough.

The easiest method for both S+ runs is pretty much the same. Finish the Village Section using everything you can find and finish all the Merchant Requests -> this will get you 31 Spinels. Then in the Castle (Chapter 7) you can buy the Exclusive Upgrade Ticket for 30 Spinels and use it on the Chicago Sweeper or Handcannon, which are the Extra Content Shop Weapons. You now have a weapon with infinite ammo for the rest of the run, making it pretty easy. Also try to save enough money to buy 2 rocket launchers. One before Salazar fight and one before Saddler fight. It saves time since the Rocket Launcher defeats bosses in one hit. Finishing Hardcore with the S+ rank will unlock the Chicken Hat in the bonus menu which greatly reduces damage taken and can be equipped if you still need to do a No Healing playthrough.

The second phase of the fight has Mndez swinging on the wooden beams below the ceiling. He will back up to the back of the arena and will throw burning wooden beams at you which you have to dodge by running left or right or grabbing 2 barrels which you can shoot to explode. He will also come at you with a stab which you will have avoid by moving away from his line of attack. Once up close he will attack with a few moves that you can either dodge with or by moving to the side. When he is up close it is your opportunity to use a short-range weapon for some good damage. When he is far away it is better to focus on dodging and only using long-range weapons like a sniper rifle.Wave Goodbye, Right Hand

Defeat the Verdugo.

An easy spot for this is in Chapter 3. Shortly after the church you will reach the entrance of the Quarry. At the Quarry Entrance (just after a blue merchant request letter on the wall), there will be lots of crows on the ground. Throw a flash grenade at them, it will kill all crows in one go and they count for the trophy.Never Heard It Coming

Defeat a Garrador using only knives.

The only way to reach a value of 100,000 ptas for a treasure is combing an Elegant Crown treasure with 5 different-coloured gems (Round: Blue, Yellow & Squared: Red, Green, Purple), or combining it with 2x Yellow Diamond & 3x Red Beryl. You can find 2 crowns in the game, one at the end of the flooded sewer section in Chapter 11, before you break down the wall to climb up the ladder to the merchant, and on in Chapter 13 in a side area just before entering a facility with a tripwire at the door, and a typewriter inside.Bandit

Complete the main story on Hardcore mode with an S+ rank.

The absolute easiest way of getting S+ rank on hardcore is finishing the game on New Game+ Professional with an A-rank first since it will unlock the Chicago Sweeper bonus weapon. You want to play through the game normally in the Village section, while finishing all Merchant Requests to get 31 Spinels. Requests are mostly on your main path and will only lose you a few minutes.

Then in the Castle (Chapter 7) you can buy the Exclusive Upgrade Ticket for 30 Spinels. Use it on the Chicago Sweeper which you can grab from the Storage at the Typewriter and it will unlock infinite ammo for it. After obtaining it, the game will become a lot easier and you should not have much trouble against the enemies. It is still recommended to buy 2 Rocket Launchers. One before Salazar and one before Saddler, simply to finish them off quickly, since those fights can drag on a long time otherwise.

Important: If you get a Game Over it keeps adding to your time with each death. There is a workaround available: In Game Over Screen click Quit to Main Menu > Load Game > Load Last Autosave from Main Menu.

You will have to finish professional mode with an A-rank in order to unlock the Chicago Sweeper weapon and also without using any special weapons on a fresh savefile to unlock the Handcannon special weapon. It is highly recommended to do it in 2 runs instead of a single one for multiple reasons:

Based on your score you get a number of Reward Tokens. You can use these Reward Tokens in the vending machine at the shooting range to unlock Charms for your suitcase, they give little bonuses like running faster or getting a discount at the merchant.

Easily done in the final challenge of the shooting range in Chapter 14 (4-C), since you will have a long line of targets coming at you. Simply use the Sniper Rifle to shoot through all of them.DLC Guides:

How does the PS4 version fair on the PS5? Are there any noticable issues or does it play and look decent on there if one is going for the automatic PS5 stack? I know some ps4 games running on the 5 have little to no difference.

Hey, thanks for the amazing guide as always.

Can you confirm that ALL trophies autopop and not just some like in RE8.

Because then i will play the PS4 version first. (hopefully the PS4 version runs better on PS5)

That is actually insane. Mad props to everyone who makes those guides, i somehow thought that publisher/devs work with you.. at least occasionally. You helped countless people over all those years, so let me just say thank you for everything.

Powerpyx question

I just met the merchant for the first time, can I sell the stuff like hunters lodge key, pearl pendant, other jewellery stuff etc right away OR

should I keep them for any future quest or any other stuff

The only different is no autosave. The Evil Within at least give you plenty of autosave to keep retrying. This one is manually save, and imagine you passed a difficult area just to be killed at the next one and have to restart from the last save because of no auto save.

PowerPyx can you select assisted on new game plus after completing your first run on standard? Or will assisted be locked until you finish a new game run on assisted.? Prob sounds silly bit want to check.

Powerpyx there are two more velvet blues you missed on your collectibles video guide.

In Chapter 3 when you revisit village square, there is a cutscene of tall building collapsing, proceed towards bingo building (Town Hall).

Before we use the insignia key to get inside,

Go to the left side area there is a dry well with ladder, follow this path to get 2 velvet blues.

The Red9 is the most powerful but also has the largest bullet spread unless you fit the stock. The Blacktail is probably the best all round one and the SG-09 has 5x crit hit chance if you use an exclusive upgrade ticket on it and the Punisher has the best bullet penetration
