Resident Evil 4 Remake All Merchant Requests (2024)

Resident Evil 4 Remake has 19 Merchant Requests. Completing all Merchant Requests unlocks the Jack of All Trades trophy & achievement. They are little side quests in the form of blue request letters. These letters are mostly found near merchants but also on walls along the main path.

They areoptional tasks like destroying blue medallion collectibles or clearing out rat infestations. All of them are missable since there’s no Chapter Select and No Free-Roam after the story. Some must also be completed specifically in the chapter where the request starts or else it will fail, but a few span across multiple chapters. Try to do their objectives as soon as possible to be safe. Everything is listed in chronological order below.

After clearing the objective you must talk to the merchant to make it count and get the reward. He will give you so-called “Spinels” which can then be traded back to the merchant for rare and unique items.
