Looking to complete all 19 Merchant Requests in Resident Evil 4 Remake? These little side quests, found in the form of blue request letters near merchants and on walls along the main path, offer optional tasks such as destroying blue medallion collectibles or clearing out rat infestations.

Completing all Merchant Requests not only adds to the excitement of the game, but also unlocks the Jack of All Trades trophy & achievement. However, keep in mind that all of the requests are missable, as there is no Chapter Select or Free-Roam after the story.

Some of the requests must also be completed in the chapter where they start, so be sure to prioritize them as soon as possible. The objectives are listed in chronological order below. After completing an objective, make sure to talk to the merchant to get your reward – “Spinels” that can be traded back for rare and unique items.

All Merchant Requests by Chapters

Chapter 1

Destroy the Blue Medallions 1

When reaching the end of the Farm area, be sure to pick up the blue leaflet on the wall before the closed gate. This request involves shooting the 5 Blue Medallions located in the farm area.

Chapter 2

Pest Control

This Merchant Request is located right next to the first Merchant. Head back to the factory you just came out of and kill 3 rats there. One rat is located in the destroyed hallway on the right, while the other two can be found in the central room where you had the Parry tutorial. Once you’ve defeated the rats, return to the Merchant to complete the request.

Chapter 3

Viper Hunter

As you leave the Town Hall, you’ll come across the next merchant. Look for the blue request letter on the wall next to him. To complete this request, you must find and sell 3 Vipers to the merchant. These Vipers can be found over time or in loot crates, and their locations will be listed below in chronological order as we come across them.

Grave Robber

Upon reaching the church, avoid entering the typewriter save room for now. Instead, circle around the church to reach a small alley behind it where you’ll find the request letter. After picking it up, head back to the graveyard in front of the church and shoot the V-emblems located on the double graves near the center of the graveyard to complete this request.

Destroy the Blue Medallions 2

Destroy 5 Blue Medallions marked on the map, all located in Chapter 3. Keep an eye out for their specific locations listed below, as they are easy to miss without proper guidance. Completing this task will unlock the Jack of All Trades trophy & achievement.

Chapter 4

Egg Hunt

To complete this Merchant Request in Resident Evil 4 Remake, head to the lake and find the blue request letter on the wall to the left before getting on the boat. Your task is to find and sell a golden egg, which can be found on the island on the east side of the lake. The island houses a chicken farm, and the golden egg is located there (see location below). Once you have the egg, sell it to the merchant in the southwest of the lake. This task is one of many optional side quests that can help you unlock rewards and progress in the game.

Catch Me A Big Fish

To find a blue letter, open the locked door in Lakeside Settlement with the Insignia Key and look in the tunnel. To catch a large fish, use a harpoon near the Boat House in the southeast corner of the lake. If the fish is not there on the first try, drive back across the lake and return. The big fish you need is usually swimming slightly to the left in front of the Boat House. Sell it to the merchant southwest of the lake.

Chapter 5

A Savage Mutt

The blue request letter is located on the wall next to the merchant outside the Town Hall. To complete the request, you need to kill a big wolf in Village Square, but it will only appear after exploring the attic in the Village Chief’s Manor by boosting up Ashley. Once you return to Village Square, the enemy will spawn, and you can defeat it to complete the request.
