Video Guide Overview

​

Welcome to my video trophy guide for Resident Evil VII.

​

Following the below videos from start to finish will earn you the platinum for Resident Evil VII. The entire process of getting the platinum for this game will take three playthroughs. Every moment is in the videos below, so you can follow along and do exactly as I do.​

​

Just a quick word on the missable trophies, there are a lot. The only ones that aren't are the story related and the difficulty related ones. There is no chapter select, no backtracking and no free-roam after the story is finished, but you can make saves during the game and revisit them.

​

• Behind Closed Doors - Close an open door by yourself. You would be extremely hard-pressed to miss this, but technically it is missable.

​

• Arms in the Air - Block an enemy attack by guarding. Again, you would literally have to try and miss this one.

​

• A-ha! - Obtain something by closely examining an item. During the game you examine certain items and obtain them. None of these are mandatory.

​

• Master of Unlocking - Use a lock pick to open something. You can go the whole game without doing this, but why would you?

​

• Nice Try - Put an unrelated object on a shadow plinth. There are a couple of 'shadow plinths' in the game and if you don't put the wrong item on one of them and move on, you'll miss this one.

​

• Open Your Eyes - Use psychostimulants. Using psychostimulants is not necessary to finish the game, so if you never use them, you'll miss this one.

​

• In the Bag - Increase your item slots. If you don't pick up any of the backpacks in the game, you'll miss this one. Very hard to miss.

​

• Things Got Personal - Finish off an enemy with the knife. Something you might only do if you run out of ammo, but again, very hard to miss.

​

• Slash Slash, Shlashity, Slash! - Clear insects off a door using a knife. You will usually use a flamethrower to do this, because getting close to an 'insect door' can damage you. If you leave the old house without doing this, you'll miss it.

​

• Back Off, Mrs. B! - Fight off Marguerite while she wanders the old house to make her run away. If you get to the point where Marguerite isn't wandering the old house any more, then you've missed your chance.

​

• Duck If You Love Life - Avoid Jack's scissor attack by crouching. During the second boss fight with Jack, if you don't duck one of his charging scissor attacks, then you will have missed this one.

• Less is More - Take down two or more enemies with one shot. Easily missed, but also easily earned. Just fire a shotgun shell into a swarm of flies.

​

• Fly Swatter - Shoot and knock back Marguerite while she's leaping at you. If you don't do this during the boss fight with Marguerite, then you've missed your chance.

​

• That's a Spicy Meat-A-Ball - Kill an enemy by attaching a Remote Bomb to them and detonating it. Remote bombs don't appear until near the end of the game, so if you don't attach one to any enemy during a counter-attack, you will miss this one.

​

• 1st Place at the Science Fair - Create all items that contain Chem Fluid and Strong Chem Fluid. If you don't craft everything available in the game before you get to the end, you'll miss this one.

​

• Can't Catch Me - Complete the "Mia" videotape without being spotted by Marguerite. Obviously if you get spotted, you've failed this. You can try as many times as you like, but if you finish the game without doing it, you've missed it.

​

• Out Before Desert - Complete the "Happy Birthday" videotape within 5 minutes. Same as above. If you come in under five minutes, you've failed, but you can try as many times as you like. If you finish the game without doing it, you've missed it.

​

• Be Kind, Please Rewind - Watch all the videotapes in a single playthrough. Only one is mandatory, you can skip the others and in turn, miss this trophy.

​

• Pelicans in Your Pocket - Obtain all of the Antique Coins in Easy or Normal difficulty. If you miss any of them you will have to do another playthrough to find them.

​

• Mad Pelicans - Obtain all of the Antique Coins in Madhouse difficulty. If you miss any of them you will have to do another playthrough to find them.

​

• The Devil Is in the Details - Read all of the files in a single playthrough. If you miss any of them you will have to do another playthrough to find them.

​

• He's Here, There, Everywhere! - Destroy a Mr. Everywhere statuette. If you don't destroy a single one, you'll miss this trophy.

​

• Mr. Nowhere - Destroy all Mr. Everywhere statuettes. If you miss any of them you will have to do another playthrough to find them.

​

• Just Get Me Outta Here - Complete the game within 4 hours. Fall short of this time and you'll have to do another playthrough.

​

• Resource Manager - Complete the game without opening the Item Box more than 3 times. If you open it for a fourth time, you'll miss the trophy and have to do another playthrough.

​

• Walk It Off - Complete the game using only 3 First Aid Meds or less. If you use a fourth, you'll miss the trophy and have to do another playthrough.​
