Resident Evil is divided into three main areas. Village, Castle and The Island. Each area is full of secret treasures. Some can be looted from boxes; some need a bit of puzzle-solving and some can be found using particular keys. Follow this guide to collect every single Resident Evil 4 Village treasure, so you won’t be locked out of the “Bandit” Trophy/Achievement.
Most of the treasures can be sold independently but carrying the tradition of the original, a few can be fitted with other gemstones and fetch a much higher price than their base variants. The Merchant will always warn you if you try to sell these treasures or gemstones separately.
A bug, or a feature if you may call it, also carries over from the original. Combined herbs (R+G+Y) can be sold for 10,000 pesetas. You can buy First Aid spray with same efficacy, for 5,000 pesetas, from the Merchant. This is a net gain of 5,000 pesetas, so we recommend you treat combined herbs as a treasure too.
Where to find treasure map of Village
You will come across the Merchant in Abandoned Factory. He has a treasure map for the village to offer for 1 spinel. At this point, you should have completed Farm’s blue medallion side quest to earn some spinels. We highly recommend trading your spinels for the treasure map of the village in Resident Evil 4 as it will mark the remaining treasures on your map automatically.
