Trophy and Achievements Guide

Destroy All the Goats of Warding

One of the most difficult of the collectible-type trophies is for destroying every Goat of Warding. Aside from the Village, most areas become inaccessible once you move on from them, so if you miss anything, you'll need to reload a save or play through the game again.

If you have any trouble finding them, we have a guide for the location of every Goat in the game.

By fulfilling each Challenge's requirements you can earn CP (Completion Points) that are used to purchase various things from the Extra Content Shop.

While all trophies are considered a Challenge, there are actually many more Challenges than trophies that you can complete to keep you playing the game.

Get High Scores in The Mercenaries

You can also unlock the Mercenaries, a game mode returning from Resident Evil 4 and 5. In this game mode, you must kill enemies within the time limit to accumulate points to unlock more stages and other goodies.

Depending on your score, you will be assigned a rank, and the rank you get determines your reward. There are also trophies tied to this mode so keep playing and aim for the highest score!

Unlock the Village of Shadows Difficulty

Harder Than Hardcore

The Village of Shadows difficulty mode is the hardest difficulty in the game above Hardcore. In previous games in the series, the hardest difficulty would make enemies stronger, decrease the amount of save points, or disable auto-save, so it's safe to assume things are similar this time around.
