Trophy Guide Overview

​

Welcome to my trophy guide for Resident Evil 3 (Remake). Getting the platinum in this game is equal parts the same and different to getting the one for Resident Evil 2. Expect many play-throughs, which will be noted in the section below, expect different difficulties, collectibles, and the inevitable S-Rank trophy. The biggest difference between the two games is that Resident Evil 3 just has one story-line. There are two playable characters (Jill and Carlos), but you won't be playing any different scenarios or anything. For that reason, be prepared to play the exact same game a minimum of four times.

​

In the breakdown above, I mentioned that there are 17 missable trophies and while this is technically true, you would have to actively try to miss some of them, most will unlock naturally as you go. Any trophy that isn't story-related or tied to a difficulty can be missed, but you will be doing multiple play-throughs of the game, so you will have plenty of opportunities to get anything you may have missed previously. For example, collectibles can be obtained over different play-throughs. You can track your progress in the records part of the pause menu, but it won't tell which ones you have missed, it will be up to you to work that out. The file collectibles will respawn on every fresh play-through, while the Charlie bobbleheads, once destroyed, will disappear forever.

​

You can expect to be doing a minimum of three play-throughs of this game. The main reason for this is that you need to do and S-rank run on the hardest difficulty, Inferno, but difficulties unlock after completing the previous highest difficulty that was available to you. Now while I do say that it can be done in three, I would recommend five play-throughs.

​

1. Assisted Difficulty while finding all of the collectibles and weapons etc. My collectible video can be found HERE

2. (Optional) Assisted difficulty again without using any of the item boxes that are found in safe rooms (Minimalist trophy). Now you can do the item box trophy during your first play-through if you wish, but a good reason to do this extra play-through is that you'll also get more kills for your records, which will in-turn reward you with more points that you can buy 'cheats' with in the shop, more on that below. If you do move the 'Minimalist' trophy to your first play-through, you could use this extra one to get the 'I Might Need These Later!' trophy and make Hardcore a bit easier.

3. Hardcore difficulty to unlock Nightmare, while only using one health item for the 'I Might Need These Later!' trophy.

4. Nightmare difficulty to unlock Inferno.

5. S-Rank Inferno difficulty in under two hours.

​

In the section below, 'The Order Which I Unlocked the Trophies', is a breakdown of which trophies you can expect to earn during each play-through.

​

The 'Cheats' or rewards are earned a little differently in Resident Evil 3. Instead of earning the infinite ammo weapons by completing certain difficulties with a certain rank, like in previous games, this time you'll earn points by completing records that can be used in the shop to purchase the 'cheats'. The shop becomes available in the 'Bonuses' menu once you have completed the game for the first time. Below is a list of all of the records you can complete, along with the points rewarded for each and a list of all of the items available for purchase in the shop.

​

You may notice that a lot of these records are the same as the trophies from the game, so you will gain a lot of points naturally while going for the platinum.

​

The numbers for each record save right away, so this means they will be constantly totalling up while you play through the game multiple times. This also means that you can farm kills for the weapon related ones. While you are going through your first play-through make 3 specific saves that will allow you to farm later on.

​

1. In downtown as you are playing as Jill for the first time. Once you get the lock pick from the corpse, don't go through the gate immediately, make a save in the control room. You can use the spiders in the caged power station area to farm kills for the shotgun.

2. The most important save to make is the one just before giving Jill the vaccine in the hospital while playing as Carlos. Straight after that the hospital will become overrun with zombies and you'll have to defend it. This is great for the handgun, assault rifle and just general kills.

3. In the Nest 2 facility near the end of the game, you'll acquire a USB key and open a door with it. In that room are several enemies. Make a save in the nearby safe room before entering. In here you'll be able to farm granade launcher and MAG kills.

​

Now farming is not essential, I bought all of the highlighted items below with the points I gain from just playing the game multiple times. Farming is mainly for if you want the rocket launcher. It makes the game an absolute cake-walk.

​

The highlighted items are the ones I purchased to finish the game with, I managed to purchase everything I needed without farming any kills. I would advise starting to purchase items after your first play-through to make each subsequent play-through a little bit easier. I would prioritise the assault rifle, one of each coin and the combat manual, then fill in the gaps as you get more points. Obviously if you want the rocket launcher then, prioritise that and forget about the assault rifle, but you will need to farm kills to get enough points. You will still need the coins.

​

Shop items are in item boxes waiting for you when you start the game, so you can't use them on your 'Minimalist' trophy run. Also, you can save and quit out of the game you're playing, purchase an item, jump back into the game and the item you have just purchased will be waiting for you in the next item box.
