This guide contains comprehensive information on earning all the achievements in Resident Evil Requiem (Resident Evil 9), most of which are also related to in-game challenges. Completing challenges will earn you special RP, which can be used to purchase in-game items such as weapons, costumes, cheats, and more.
In reality, the game is quite forgiving in terms of earning the so-called “platinum.” There’s an achievement for completing the game within the specified time limit, but four hours is more than enough to complete the game on the easy difficulty level. Furthermore, Resident Evil Requiem can be completed in just three hours. The “Insanity” difficulty level is trivial thanks to cheats that grant infinite ammo or a rocket launcher that destroys all enemies in one hit.
But to get all this as quickly as possible, remember to spend your Challenge Points (CP) wisely between playthroughs . Don’t waste them on unnecessary items, otherwise you might not have enough CP for more important and relevant items.
After your first playthrough, be sure to purchase the infinite-durability “Kotetsu” knife so you can speedrun without using medication or the blood draw system.
After the speedrun, you will have over 100,000 RP to buy infinite ammo and an infinite RPG.
Don’t buy sketches or models until you’ve completed the game on Insanity difficulty.
It’s also a good idea to start distributing manual saves evenly throughout the game. You should have one file for each major region. Since there’s no chapter select, this is the best way to return to all locations and quickly collect any missed items.
Stage 1: Complete the game on Easy difficulty and collect all collectibles (10-15 hours)
It’s recommended to play on the lowest difficulty level, “Easy,” to make some achievements easier to obtain. You’ll have more ammo, and enemies will die faster, which is beneficial for various achievements. You can also play on “Standard” if you prefer, and if you find any trophies challenging, save them for a later playthrough.
After earning each story trophy, save your game manually in a separate slot. These saves can be used as a “chapter select menu” to switch between locations and find anything you missed.
Completing the game once on any difficulty level unlocks the “Insanity” difficulty level (you only need to complete the game on “Easy” or “Standard”). You can also see a full list of all challenges.
Stage 2. Speedrun on the Easy level, without healing or blood collection (3-4 hours)
After your first playthrough, if you’ve collected all the collectibles and earned some achievements, you’ll have around 27,000 Challenge Points (CP). If you weren’t able to get the “Bloodlust” achievement for collecting 5,000 units of Infected Blood, load an old save, use blood transfusion bags, and repeat the process until the trophy unlocks. It can be obtained very quickly by loading the same saves where you have blood bags. After this, you’ll never have to worry about consuming blood again and will earn a lot of CP for completing the “Bloodlust” challenge.
Before starting a speedrun, go to the “Special Materials” menu and purchase the “Kotetsu.” It’s an unbreakable knife for 5,000 RP. Since you can’t use the blood draw system to craft ammo, an infinite knife will come in handy. If the knife gets stuck in an enemy, be sure to finish them off and retrieve the melee weapon before moving on, otherwise it will be lost.
For speedruns, do not use any blood collection system or medications (green herbs, herbal mixtures, or medical injectors). You can track your progress in the “Challenges” section, under “Emergency Stock” and “Minimalism.” The counters must remain at “0” throughout the entire run, after which the trophies will unlock when you see the progress screen. If the counter increases, the trophy will be forfeited.
On the “easy” difficulty level, your health automatically regenerates to yellow (moderate). So, if you take damage, it’s okay; just keep playing; there’s no need to keep your health at maximum. You can pick up and drop healing items, but you can’t use them. Crafting and selling healing items is also allowed and doesn’t increase your challenge counter.
You can check your time in the “Challenges” section, under “Need for Speed.” Pausing the game also pauses the timer. Estimated completion times for each area are listed in the “Need for Speed” trophy description. To save time solving puzzles , check out our guide to solving all puzzles in Resident Evil Requiem.
Don’t waste Challenge Points (CP) on other bonus items! Save them after your speedrun to purchase unlimited ammo and a rocket launcher for completing the game on Insanity difficulty (costs 100,000 CP). Completing the game in under 4 hours also unlocks an infinite ink ribbon, allowing you to make unlimited saves even on Insanity.
Stage 3. Completion on Madness difficulty (3 hours)
After the speedrun, you’ll have over 100,000 RP to purchase unlimited ammo and a rocket launcher from the Special Materials menu. Purchase them and start a new game on the “Madness” difficulty. The infinite rocket launcher kills any enemy with one shot. The RPG-7 is only usable when playing as Leon. Weapons can be picked up from supply crates, which will start appearing from the very beginning of the game.
Grace can also use the Requiem revolver, which kills normal enemies with two shots to the body or one shot to the head.
On Insanity difficulty, additional enemies appear and move faster, but with bonus items the game is no more difficult than a first playthrough on Standard difficulty.
Step 4: Unlock all sketches and models
After completing the “Madness” level, you’ll earn more than enough RP to purchase all the sketches and models, which together cost 10,000 RP. Purchase them in the “Special Materials” menu, and the Platinum will be yours.

Achievement “Hope and Requiem”
- Description : Complete the main story by freeing Elpis.
At the end of the game, when Grace has to make a choice, click the “Free Elpis” option. Choosing any other option does not earn any achievements and immediately ends the game.
Achievement “Rookie Agent”

To unlock this achievement, complete the storyline on any ending on the “Standard (Classic)” difficulty level or higher. All difficulty-specific trophies are cumulative, and completing the game on a higher difficulty level will also unlock this achievement.
The difference between “modern” and “classic” modes is that the latter requires ink ribbons for manual saving.
Outstanding Agent achievement
- Description : Complete the main story in Madness mode.
The “Insanity” difficulty level is unlocked after completing the story once on any difficulty level. Even completing the game on “Easy” is enough. Afterward, you’ll be able to select “Insanity” when starting a new game.
Completing the game on Insanity difficulty will also unlock all trophies for lower difficulties, including Standard (Modern) and Standard (Classic).
What differences does the Insanity difficulty level offer?
- Enemies have significantly more health; two body shots or one headshot are enough to kill regular opponents with the Requiem revolver.
- New enemies have appeared in some places.
- The infected move much faster.
- Zombies that appear in the later stages of the game are encountered from the very beginning.
- The ancient coins are now hidden in different places, and the safe codes are different. The locations of some key items have also changed.
Out of Sight Achievement
- Description : Place an item in the box while playing as Grace.
Safe rooms with save options often contain storage boxes for Grace’s items. The first one is located in the Rhodes Hill Medical Center, in the “Security Office” safe room in the central hall. Move any item from your inventory into this box. There are other storage boxes in the game that allow you to do this.
Achievement “The Good Old Method”
- Description : Use the typewriter ribbon to save the game.
Ink ribbons are found exclusively on the “Madness” and “Standard (Classic)” difficulties. They are not found on the “Easy” and “Standard (Modern)” difficulties. On these difficulties, they are required for manual saving on typewriters. They appear as small, black, circular ribbons and are scattered throughout the game world. Pick one up and make a manual save using any typewriter.
Achievement “Just Like Her Mother”
- Description : crack the box with a master key.
This achievement can only be obtained as Grace. Lockpicks and locked boxes with regular locks can be found throughout the medical center. For example, the very first lockpick is in the Chief Researcher’s office (there’s also a typewriter and a safe with solar quartz) on the second floor of the east wing. Find it on the cabinet to the left of the typewriter. Then use it on any locked box, which will be marked on the map when you approach it. For example, a locked box is in a desk in the east wing lobby.
Achievement “Lethal Dose”
- Description : Kill a zombie with a hemolytic injector.
The first and best chance to earn this achievement is playing as Grace in the Medical Center, exploring the East Wing. Upon entering the Receptionist’s office (as part of the story), you’ll see the first Hemolytic Injector on the cabinets behind the desk with the organless corpse. Pick it up, crouch, and sneak up on the nearest zombie. Press the F key to administer the injection. The zombie will instantly explode, earning you the trophy. You can also craft Hemolytic Injectors after finding the Blood Collection System in the Hematology Lab and analyzing a blood sample (denaturation) with the Laser Microscope in the same location, which unlocks the recipe.
Achievement “It’s Science!”
- Description : Unlock the instruction by performing the analysis.
While controlling Grace, you’ll obtain key items in the hematology lab in the medical center’s east wing: a blood collection system and a blood sample (denaturation). In the same room, you’ll be able to interact with a laser microscope, after which you’ll need to solve a sequence to turn all square atoms into red circles (active). This will unlock new crafting recipes and earn you a trophy.
Achievement “Power of Blood”
- Description : Create an item using the blood collection system.
While controlling Grace, in the Hematology Lab in the east wing of the Medical Center, you’ll obtain key items—a Blood Collection System and a Blood Sample (Denaturation). In the same room, you can interact with the Laser Microscope, and then you’ll need to solve a sequence to turn all the atoms red. This will unlock new crafting recipes and earn you a trophy. Now, press TAB and go to the crafting menu. Craft any item that requires contaminated blood (pistol ammo, hemolytic injector, or medical injector). To obtain contaminated blood, you can use the Blood Collection System on the buckets of blood often found throughout the Medical Center, or on pools of blood. One bucket is located right in the Hematology Lab.
Achievement “Blood! More Blood!”
- Description : Use 300 micro-samples of infected blood.
Instructions for unlocking crafting using the blood collection system are described above. After unlocking crafting, simply craft items containing a total of 300 units of contaminated blood (e.g., pistol ammo, a hemolytic injector, etc.). You can collect blood, save, and reload. Craft pistol ammo, reload from your last save, and repeat until you earn the achievement. All similar trophies can be obtained this way!
Big Gun achievement
- Description : Stun the Girl with Requiem.
The Girl is a large monster that chases you throughout the medical center. You need to shoot her once with the Requiem revolver, which Grace will receive automatically upon reaching the medical center’s central hall. After this, the Girl will disappear, but will reappear when you descend to the basement from the east wing isolation ward. Later, you’ll confront her at the water treatment plant.
Your best chance of getting this trophy is at the Water Treatment Plant, when you need to turn on three power supplies . The game will give you plenty of ammo for the Requiem there, which is a good thing.
Achievement “The Hunt Has Begun”
- Description : Destroy one Mr. Raccoon figure.
Achievement “Inviolability”
- Description : Parry an enemy attack.
As Leon, you need to use your battle axe to parry an attack just before the infected strikes you. This means pressing the spacebar just before the attack hits your target. This requires precise timing and will likely take several tries. If your battle axe becomes dull, you can sharpen it using the keys indicated on the screen.
Achievement “Can I borrow it for a while?”
- Description : Drop a weapon dropped by an enemy.
This achievement can only be obtained as Leon. Enemies will occasionally drop their melee weapons, which you can interact with to automatically throw them at the nearest enemy. Do this at least once to earn the trophy. The best and earliest opportunity is when you first play as Leon, during the prologue in Renwool. One of the zombies on the street will be carrying a fire axe. After defeating it, you can immediately throw it at the nearest enemy. So this is potentially the first trophy in the game.
Achievement “Lumberjack”
- Description : Finish off three zombies with an axe.
While playing as Leon, a prompt will occasionally appear to perform a finishing move with an axe. This happens occasionally when enemies are low on health, fall to the floor, or you shoot them in the legs repeatedly. Perform a total of three such finishing moves with an axe throughout the game. This should happen naturally as you progress through RE9. Bubbleheads are especially easy to finish off if you shoot them in the head or legs repeatedly.
Achievement “Retail Therapy”
- Description : Buy an item from a supply box.
The supply crate first appears during Leon’s playthrough in Raccoon City, after unlocking a save point in the BSAA Central Camp. You can then interact with the large green crate next to the save system to buy and sell items, including weapon upgrades. Each enemy you kill earns you credits, which can be exchanged for items. You’ll also receive credits in exchange for tracking devices you find. Incidentally, if you play through the game again, the supply crate will appear from the very beginning, this time on the streets of Renwood.
Achievement “Custom Order”
- Description : Modify weapons.
Playing as Leon, you need to add a new weapon part. The first opportunity to obtain this trophy is in the attic of the medical center. The first warped cabinet in the hallway between the attic and the attic storage room can be opened with Leon’s axe, and it contains a compensator for the Crocodile Tears pistol. It’s located between the attic and the attic storage room, after killing a chunk. Combine the weapon part with the pistol in your inventory to unlock the trophy.
Later in Raccoon City, you’ll be able to use supply crates to purchase upgrades for any weapon.
Achievement “Street Racing”
- Description : Interrupt one of Victor’s attacks on the highway.
This trophy can be earned while riding Leon’s motorcycle as he travels from East Raccoon City to the city center (after finding the detonator). While riding the motorcycle, Victor will be ahead, riding another bike, firing an RPG at Leon. Each time he’s about to do so, a red arrow will appear over his head. Quickly shoot him to interrupt the attack and unlock the achievement.
While this achievement is technically missable, it’s so easy you’ll probably get it naturally, without even trying. In this section, you’ll have infinite ammo for the SMG, so you can shoot at Victor and the Gamras throughout the entire ride. The first opportunity is immediately after you see Victor on his motorcycle for the second time. The second is after you drive past, exploding red gas cylinders. If you miss these opportunities, load one of your previous autosaves and try again.
Achievement “Jack of All Trades”
- Description : Craft all possible items while playing as Leon.
In Raccoon City Downtown, you’ll unlock all crafting items when playing as Leon. Once you find the necessary materials, crafting items will unlock automatically. Tab to your inventory and switch to the crafting tab.
You can make a manual save, craft all the available items you have the resources for, then load the save to reclaim the materials and craft the next batch of items. You don’t have to craft them all in the same save!
In total, 9 items are required for crafting:
- Herb mix (G+G). Herb mix (green+green+green). Combine three green herbs.
- Herb mix (green + green). Use a mix of two green herbs.
- Pistol cartridges (fragments + gunpowder (little)).
- Shotgun shells (pieces + gunpowder (lots)).
- Rifle cartridges (fragments + gunpowder (a lot)).
- Cartridges for a submachine gun (fragments – gunpowder (little)).
- Hand grenade (fragments + gunpowder (a lot)).
- Pair of Hand Grenades (Combine 2 Hand Grenades).
Achievement “Ammo Saving”
- Description : Kill at least three enemies with a single shot from the Requiem.
The Requiem is a revolver that Grace will automatically receive in the central hall of the medical center. Line up any three zombies in a row and shoot them so that the bullet passes through them. Any room with three infected will work.
The best opportunity is in the east wing of the medical center. After the reception area, go down the hallway between the isolation ward and the waiting room. Three enemies will emerge from the hallway, marching in formation.
Another good opportunity is in the isolation ward: after obtaining the Level 3 ID bracelet, as you exit the ward, you’ll see a line of zombies walking down the hallway. You can wait a bit and then shoot them from behind.
Achievement “Have you swallowed your tongue?”
- Description : chop off the tongue of the β2 slime with an axe.
This achievement can only be obtained as Leon in the ARK location, during the second part of the complex (after Grace’s episode). It occurs late in the game. While playing as Leon, you’ll automatically encounter several lickers—slithering mobs with sharp claws that occasionally attack with their long tongues. Wait for one of them to prepare to use its long tongue, then parry with the spacebar. This will cut off the tongue and unlock the trophy. The difficulty lies in the fact that lickers don’t attack with their tongues very often. Move around them, keeping your distance, until one of the mobs uses this attack. It’s also important to time your parry perfectly.
Achievement “Well Roasted”
- Description : Defeat the chef at the medical center in the main story.
This achievement can be earned playing as Grace or Leon in the Medical Center. When you first enter the West Wing kitchen, you’ll automatically encounter the chef, who will block your path through the room. He’s a large, male zombie with a cleaver. He has more health than regular zombies.
On Easy or Standard difficulty, one headshot with the Requiem and four to five shots to the same head with a regular pistol are enough to kill him. He’ll also drop the pantry key, which can be used to open the kitchen door. If you don’t kill the cook as Grace, you’ll have another chance later when you play as Leon in the medical center.
Achievement “Deadly Duet”
- Description : Defeat two singers in the main story.
As Grace in the medical center, you’ll automatically encounter two singers as you progress through the story (first in the West Wing lounge, in front of the Chairman’s office, and then in the East Wing conference room, where you’ll go to get the corrosive substance). You can avoid one singer, but you’ll almost certainly kill the other.
The first place you’ll encounter the zombie singer is the lounge bar on the second floor of the west wing. She’s a female zombie in a white dress. You’ll get there on your way to the chairman’s office as part of the storyline. If you’re low on ammo by this point, you can return later after exploring the rest of the medical center.
The second singer is located in the conference room on the second floor of the east wing. She’s another female zombie in a turquoise dress. You can get there after obtaining a Level 1 ID bracelet and distracting the fat chunk.
Grace and Goliath achievement
- Description : Defeat Chunk while playing as Grace.
This achievement can be earned as Grace in the Medical Center. You’ll automatically encounter a “Fat Chunk” when you approach the Level 1 ID Wristband (a key item). It’s located on the second floor of the East Wing, in the hallway near the Chief Researcher’s office. After picking up the ID Wristband, a huge monster will begin chasing you.
Shoot him until he’s dead. This is the only Chunk you can kill as Grace. If you don’t have enough ammo to kill him right away, progress through the story in the medical center and return later to kill the Fat Man. Chunk will disappear briefly at a certain point in the story campaign, but will reappear in the east wing one last time after using the Level 3 ID Wristband on Emily’s camera . This will be your last chance to kill the Fat Man as Grace!
He has significantly more health than, say, the Chef; on Easy difficulty, one headshot with the Requiem and 16 headshots with a regular pistol are enough to defeat him. If you can’t defeat him, save Fatso for Insanity difficulty, when you have infinite ammo.
Achievement “Internal Conflict”
- Description : Set one zombie against another in hospital wards.
You can get this achievement in two locations. The first is the waiting room in the east wing, and the second is the archives department on the second floor of the west wing. Both locations have one thing in common: you’ll encounter an infected person with an IV drip. He’s seemingly blind, but he’s irritated by any sound.
First, you’ll need an empty bottle. You’ll find it in the west wing dining room, on a shelf behind the dining table. Save it! Then, continue until you open the door to the east wing. Save your game manually, as any mistake will prevent you from earning the achievement. This is a difficult trophy, and you’ll likely need several attempts to get it; if you fail, you’ll have to reload your save.
Proceed through the reception area, then down the next hallway. Three zombies will emerge from the red-lit hallway. Kill them all quickly, then enter the waiting room through the door on the right. You need to lure the blind zombie (the man in the white coat with the IV drip) into attacking the maid (the woman in the black dress). Break the first vase on the right and hide in the corner to lure both zombies to the shards. When they are close, throw an empty bottle at the maid, causing the blind zombie to tear it apart. Don’t let any of them hear your footsteps, or they will chase Grace. Also, don’t let the zombie maid leave the room. If you kill any of the zombies before earning this trophy, you’ll miss it and have to reload your save. If you wait, the maid will leave the room to clean up the blood from the three dead zombies in the hallway.
Achievement “Fighter”
- Description : Kill 300 enemies.
It’s pretty straightforward: you need to defeat a total of 300 enemies across all playthroughs. The trophy can be earned by reloading saves and restarting checkpoints. It’s essentially a story-related achievement that you’ll earn automatically, naturally, during your first playthrough. There are far more enemies in the game than you need, so don’t worry about it.
Weed Control Achievement
- Description : Destroy all specimen 43 shoots.
This trophy can be earned while playing as Leon in downtown Raccoon City. After visiting the orphanage and defeating the Supertyrant boss (the “I Remember This Too” trophy), you’ll board a train where you’ll automatically be attacked by the first Specimen 43 vine. The vines look like vines with sharp teeth. To destroy them, you need to shoot them when they open their mouths. There are nine vines in total. The first one is destroyed automatically, and the remaining eight are located in a cave. If you carefully explore the cave and its side passages, you’ll find all the vines.
Continue moving until you descend down the rope into the cave. The remaining 8 are located in this cave. If you fully explore the cave, you’ll find them all:
- The second escape is located on the main path, not far from the beginning of the cave.
- The third and fourth shoots are located in the next section of the cave on the main path.
- The fifth shoot is located on the side path to the left of the previous two, under your feet.
- The sixth escape is located on the main path in the next section of the cave (the flooded area).
- The seventh shoot is located on the main path, to the left of the previous one.
- The eighth and ninth shoots are located on the main path, further than the previous one, if you move towards the light at the end of the cave.
Achievement: “A Safe Is Not a Safe Place”
- Description : Open all safes in the main story.
There are five safes in the game, and they can only be found as Grace.
- Description : Open all BSAA containers.
There are three locked BSAA containers in the game, found exclusively by Leon in the eastern part of Raccoon City.
Case Closed achievement
- Description : Read all documents in the main story.
There are 75 files hidden throughout the game, which you can track in the “Files” menu on the tab next to your inventory.
Achievement “Good kids don’t do that!”
- Description : Destroy all Mr. Raccoon figures.
There are 25 Mr. Raccoon figures in the game. You need to either shoot them or attack them in melee combat (if possible).
Achievement “Need for Speed”
- Description : Complete the main story by freeing Elpis in less than four hours.
A speedrun achievement that requires completing the game in under 4 hours. It’s best to do this on the “easy” difficulty level, without using health items or the blood draw system, so you can complete all three challenges at once. You can complete the game in under 3 hours. If you plan to combine this with completing challenges that don’t allow you to use the blood draw system, you should purchase the unbreakable “Kotetsu” knife from the “Special Materials” section. This will allow you to melee enemies, interrupting their attacks, and run past them without using ammo. At the end of the game, it’s important to choose “Free Elpis”!
After your first playthrough, you can view your time in the Challenges section of Need for Speed. Time is frozen while you’re in the pause menu. Completing the game in under 4 hours also unlocks an infinite timer in the bonus menu, allowing you to make unlimited manual saves on Insanity difficulty.
Here are the completion times for each area, to get a total of just over 3 hours (meaning you’ll have an hour to spare by the end):
- Leon in the attic of the medical center – 0:45:00 (45 minutes).
- Grace arrives in the basement beneath the medical center – 0:53:00.
- Grace escaped from the medical center through the door under 3 quartz and reached the courtyard – 1:10:00.
- Leon on the roof of the medical center, shooting zombies near the chapel with a sniper rifle – 1:14:00.
- Grace at the Water Treatment Plant – 1:20:00.
- Leon arrived in Raccoon City – 1:25:00.
- After riding the motorcycle (Leon got to Raccoon City Center) – 2:05:00.
- After the orphanage – 2:17:00.
- Leon entered ARK at 2:27:00.
- Playing as Grace in ARK – 2:35:00.
- Walkthrough completed – 3:00:00.
Achievement “Good Credit History”
- Description : Earn 200,000 credits.
Playing as Leon, you need to pick up the “Tactical Sensor” key item in East Raccoon City, at the BSAA Central Camp. It’s prominently located on the first supply crate near the save point. Afterward, each enemy you defeat will earn you credits, which can be exchanged for weapons, upgrades, ammunition, and more in supply crates.
Like all cumulative trophies, this one counts across all gameplays. Credits are only counted as “earned” when you interact with a supply crate to refresh your wallet.
The trophy is guaranteed to appear naturally during your second playthrough. Don’t even worry about it; you’ll earn far more than 200,000 credits, as you’ll have to complete the game three times.
Achievement “Bloodlust”
- Description : Collect 5000 micro samples of infected blood using a blood collection system.
You can get this achievement quickly by reloading your save. First, you need to find the blood collection system. You’ll find it as Grace in the hematology lab in the east wing of the medical center.
Now collect several blood transfusion bags scattered throughout the game. Several can be found in the medical center, for example, in the refrigerator where you receive the artificial heart. Remove the blood from the blood collection system by crafting any items (pistol ammo, hemolytic injector, etc.).
Make a manual save. Then use the blood transfusion bags from your inventory to instantly get blood, load the save, and repeat the process until you get the achievement.
Achievement “Collector”
- Description : see all models.
You need to unlock and view all 44 models in the “Bonuses” menu. Each costs 100 RP (challenge points), for a total of 4400 RP. All models are automatically unlocked for purchase after completing the game for the first time on any difficulty level (you only need to complete the easiest difficulty level, “Easy”).
Unlocking models isn’t enough; you also need to preview each one! The fastest way is to click and hold the first model to quickly cycle through them.
It’s best to save all the models and sketches for last. They cost a total of 10,000 EP (4,400 for the models + 5,600 for the sketches). Completing the game on Madness difficulty alone will net you 40,000 EP, which is more than enough. Until then, it’s best to save up all your EP and spend them on more useful items, such as the Unbreakable Knife, Infinite Ammo, the Infinite Rocket Launcher, and so on.
Art Appreciator achievement
- Description : see all sketches.
You need to unlock and view all 56 sketches in the “Bonuses” menu. Each one costs 100 Challenge Points (CP), for a total of 5600 CP. All sketches are automatically unlocked for purchase after completing the game for the first time on any difficulty level (beating the easiest difficulty level, “Easy,” is sufficient).
Unlocking the sketches isn’t enough; you also need to view them all. The fastest way is to click on the first clone concept art and hold the key to quickly switch between them.
It’s best to save all the models and sketches for last. They cost a total of 10,000 EP (4,400 for the models + 5,600 for the sketches). Completing the game on Madness difficulty alone will net you 40,000 EP, which is more than enough. Until then, it’s best to save up all your EP and spend them on more useful items, such as the Unbreakable Knife, Infinite Ammo, the Infinite Rocket Launcher, and so on.
Achievement “Emergency Reserve”
- Description : Complete the main story without using herbs or injectors.
This is best done on Easy difficulty combined with a speedrun, and without using the blood draw system. On Easy difficulty, your health automatically regenerates to yellow (moderate). Simply don’t use herbs or medical injectors to heal. You can pick them up, discard them, store them, use them for crafting, or sell them. Just don’t heal!
After your first playthrough, you can track your progress in the “Challenges” section, under “Emergency Reserve.” This value should remain at “0” throughout the entire playthrough, after which the trophy will unlock on the game completion screen.
Minimalism Achievement
- Description : Complete the main story without using the blood collection system (as Grace).
It’s best to get this achievement on the easy difficulty level, combining it with a speedrun and the “Emergency Reserve” item.
