All Resident Evil Requiem Challenges And Bonus Points

Are you planning to complete all challenges in Resident Evil Requiem? These tasks and tallies reward you with challenge points (CP), which you can then use to unlock bonus content. Some are new weapons that are sure to aid you in your playthrough. Others are cheats, which make the whole ordeal a breeze.

Note: We’re going to tackle challenge requirements and tips, which means this article does include spoilers. You can also head to our Resident Evil Requiem guides hub for other facets related to the game.

Challenge tallies, backup saves, and points of no return – Oh my!

You can see if you’ve finished an objective by opening the Challenges menu while the game is paused. We also want to remind you to keep backup manual saves. That’s because challenges are tracked for your account, and this applies even if you reload a save or start a new playthrough.

Let’s use safe combinations as an example. There are five locked safes in the game, and opening them all completes the “No Safe Is Safe” challenge. If you somehow miss the one in the Care Center Basement, you won’t be able to return to that location. But, if you kept a handy manual save prior to rushing toward the elevator, then you should have enough time to grab the rewards.

Various challenges can also be completed in a single playthrough, and we detail these steps a bit later in this article. We’ve also got a points of no return guide so you know the exact moments when you ought to have a backup save.

In any case, our Resident Evil Requiem challenges guide is organized based on thematic categories. We start off with bonus unlockable content, followed by some of the basic stuff, and then we tackle more advanced requirements.

• It’s Been a Long Night – Reach the courtyard of the Care Center.
• A Harsh Reality – Escape the Care Center.

• Resolute Agent – Complete the main story on at least Standard (Classic) difficulty.
• Model Mania – View all models.

Basics: Grace

These are some easy-peasy challenges for Grace:

• Out of Sight, Out of Mind – Store an item in the item box as Grace.
• The Ol’ Fashioned Way – Use an Ink Ribbon to save at a typewriter.
• Like Mother, Like Daughter – Unlock a drawer with a lockpick.
• Fatal Dose – Defeat a zombie using the Hemolytic Injector.
• The Power of Blood – Craft an item using the Blood Collector.
• Blood! More Blood! – Use 300 microsamples of Infected Blood.

Note: For “The Ol’ Fashioned Way,” you need to be playing on at least Standard (Classic) difficulty. There are no Ink Ribbons in Casual and Standard (Modern).

Basics: Leon

Here are some hassle-free challenges for Leon:

• Untouchable – Parry an enemy attack.
• Can I Borrow This? – Throw a weapon dropped by an enemy.
• Chop Chop – Defeat three zombies with a Hatchet finishing attack.
• Retail Therapy – Purchase an item from the supply box.
• Tailor Made – Upgrade a weapon.
• Master Craftsman – Craft every possible item with Leon.

Note: For “Master Craftsman,” try to collect a bunch of Green Herbs, Scrap, and Gunpowder once you acquire the GAL Submachine Gun in East Raccoon City. By then, you should be able to craft all types of restoratives, ammo, and grenades. Alternatively, craft something and see if the “Master Craftman” tally increases. Then, reload your save and craft something else.

More combat: Grace

These are the Resident Evil Requiem challenges that you can do when Grace faces specific enemies:

• Order Up – Defeat the Chef in the Care Center in the main story.
• Deadly Duet – Defeat the two Singers in the main story.
• Grace and Goliath – Defeat the Chunk as Grace.
• Bring Out the Big Guns – Stun the Girl with the Requiem.

Note 1: For “Order Up,” you can just sneak up on the Chef zombie and blow him up with a Hemolytic Injector. This also nets you the Pantry Key.

Note 2: For “Grace and Goliath,” you need to kill Chunk before Grace jumps down the pit that leads to the Care Center Basement. Chunk will drop the Eye Spy Charm the first time you kill it. If you reload an earlier save, the charm should still appear in your item box. Taking out Chunk again causes it to drop several Antique Coins.

More combat: Leon

You’ve got more combat-related tasks as Leon:

• Internal Dispute – Make a zombie attack another zombie in the hospital ward.
• Road Rage – Stop one of Victor’s attacks on the highway.
• Not Today, Buds – Defeat all Plant 43 seedlings.
• Cat Got Your Tongue – Cut off a Licker’s tongue with your Hatchet.

Note 1: For “Road Rage,” be on the lookout for a small arrow-shaped icon that appears above Victor during the chase sequence. Shoot him a few times to interrupt his attack.

Note 2: For “Cat Got Your Tongue,” wait for a Licker to lash out with its tongue, then spam the parry button. It might take a few tries.

More combat: Both characters

These are general combat tasks for both characters:

• Bang for Your Buck – Defeat at least three enemies with a single Requiem shot.
• Seasoned Pro – Defeat 300 enemies.

Note: For “Bang for Your Buck,” Leon should have opportunities to blast several infected in the streets of Rhodes Hill early in the game. If you’re not able to do this, Grace can line up several hostiles in the narrow corridors of the Care Center. Just open a few drawers with lockpicks if you need more ammo for the Requiem.

Collectibles-related

These Resident Evil Requiem challenges are related to collectibles, containers, and loot:

• The Hunt Begins – Destroy one Mr. Raccoon memoriam.
• You Little Rascal – Destroy all 25 Mr. Raccoon memoriams.
• No Safe Is Safe – Open all five safes in the main story.
• Crate Expectations – Open all four BSAA Containers.
• Case Closed – Read all 75 files in the main story.

Note: We discuss these locations in detail in our articles about Mr. Raccoon collectibles, file/document locations, safe combinations, and BSAA Containers.

Advanced challenges

These challenges require a bit more effort. They reward a ridiculous amount of CP:

• Remarkable Agent – Complete the main story on Insanity difficulty; rewards 40,000 CP.
• Credit Where Credit Is Due – Earn 200,000 credits; rewards 3,000 CP.
• Bloodlust – Collect 5,000 microsamples of Infected Blood with the Blood Collector; rewards 10,000 CP.
• Never Touch the Stuff – Complete the main story without using Green Herbs or Med Injectors; rewards 35,000 CP.
• Minimalist – Complete the main story without Grace using the Blood Collector; rewards 35,000 CP.
• Speed Demon – Complete the main story by releasing Elpis within four hours; rewards 20,000 CP.
• The Final Puzzle – Let the sweet pair hear the voice; rewards 20,000 CP.

Note 1: Regarding “Credit Where Credit Is Due,” we actually received 10,000 credits near the end of the campaign as Leon. It may have come from the Bioweapon Repository encounter against several Lickers and zombie husks. We recommend returning to the supply box in the B4 Staff Room to obtain your credit rewards, before riding the elevator.

Note 2: We’ve got a few tips for those who want to try Insanity Mode.

Can you complete multiple advanced challenges in one playthrough?

It’s certainly possible to complete several advanced challenges in Resident Evil Requiem, including those with requirements that might seem at odds with each other at first glance. This goes back to what we mentioned about challenge tallies being tracked for your account, even if you reload your save or try a new playthrough.

Let’s say you want to complete “Credit Where Credit Is Due,” “Bloodlust,” “Never Touch the Stuff,” “Minimalist,” and “Speed Demon,” all in a single playthrough:

• Choose Casual difficulty for an easier run and breeze through the campaign. Hopefully, you remember where all the key items are located.
• At certain points of no return, keep a handy manual save. Let’s use the Care Center as an example, right before you exit the Central Door. Maybe you’ve spent exactly one hour already since you started the campaign.
• If you’re (a) doing a speedrun and/or (b) you don’t want to collect Infected Blood, then you probably ran past a bunch of zombies. Now, it’s time to kill dozens of undead, all while gathering more Infected Blood in the vicinity. Don’t forget to heal up when you can, too.
• Oops! It looks like you spent so much time that your playthrough is now at two hours.
• Go ahead and reload your backup save:
  • Check the “Speed Demon” tally – The time you spent playing is the same as before–i.e. one hour.
  • Check the “Bloodlust” tally – It has increased because you collected more Infected Blood before you reloaded.
  • Check the “Minimalist” and “Never Touched the Stuff” tallies – It’s as though you never used a restorative item or gathered Infected Blood at all.
• Continue the campaign and pick the “Hope/release Elpis” ending during the finale. Assuming you cleared the game in under four hours, you’ll complete the “Speed Demon” challenge, too.

That does it for our Resident Evil Requiem challenges guide. We hope these tips help you as you get set for your first playthrough or subsequent runs. If you need more help with other matters, you can take a look at our boss guide, endings guide, and Easter eggs guide.
