Resident Evil 7 Achievement Guide
17.09.2026 16:17
✏️ Edited
Welcome to the Resident Evil 7 achievement guide.
The achievements here are pretty straightforward, not as tough as most older Resident Evil games.
Playthrough One:
Take your time, play on Normal, and just enjoy the game. You'll likely snag at least half the achievements here.
Playthrough Two:
Go through on Madhouse difficulty. Use a collectible guide for files, coins, and Mr. Everywhere bobbleheads. Some coins only appear on Madhouse.
Playthrough Three:
This is your speedrun. You need to finish in under 4 hours for a specific achievement. Easy difficulty is your friend here.
This guide is complete. If you have anything insightful to add, drop it in the comments. Looking for co op partners? Use the comments.

These are all unmissable
Just play the game.
She's Alive
Travel to Louisiana.
Welcome to the Family, Son
Escape from the guest house.
You Ain't Gettin' Away
Escape to the yard.
The Grave Will Out the Truth
Uncover the secret in the old house.

Endings & Difficulty
Playing it Safe
Complete the game on Easy.
The Nightmare's Finally Over
Complete the game on Normal.
Who's Your Daddy Now?
Complete the game on Madhouse.
End of the Night
Get ending 1. After making the serum and choosing between Mia and Zoe, pick Mia.
Just A Memory Now
Get ending 2. Same choice, but pick Zoe.
Just Get Me Outta Here
Complete the game within 4 hours. Best done on Easy after you know the game. Don't explore too much, skip the videotapes, and remember: the in game timer stops when you pause.
Walk it Off
Complete the game using only 3 First Aid Meds or less. Play on Easy. It's still tough, but once you know the boss fights, you won't take much damage. You can't use plain herbs, but you can use Steroids to heal.
Resource Manager
Complete the game without opening the Item Box more than 3 times. The game technically forces you to open it three times, but if you die in a boss fight and get the option to rearrange your inventory, that doesn't count against you. So you're really only forced to open it once, near the end during Lucas's birthday part, then again afterward for the crank.
Bosses & Enemies
Things Got Personal
Finish off an enemy with the knife. Easiest on the flying bugs in the old house where Marguerite patrols.
Slash Slash, Slashity Slash!
Clear insects off a door using a knife. You only get a couple of chances, and bugs don't appear on doors until you reach Marguerite's area. Just walk up and start slashing.
Less is More
Take down two or more enemies with one shot. Also easy with the flying bugs, or by grouping two Molded together in the basement and using the shotgun. A Remote Bomb killing two enemies counts too.
That's a Spicy Meat-a-ball
Kill an enemy by attaching a Remote Bomb and detonating it. You can attach one while grappling with an enemy.
Duck If You Love Life
Avoid Jack's scissor attack by crouching. You'll face Jack in the garage first, then again later. During the second encounter, after enough damage, he grabs chainsaw scissors. When he rears back, duck.
Back Off, Mrs. B!
Fight off Marguerite in the old house until she runs away. Instead of playing hide-and-seek, just fight her when she starts patrolling.
Fly Swatter
Shoot and knock back Marguerite while she's leaping at you. This is during your second encounter with her, after falling into the hole. She recoils right before jumping, so time your shot. Might take a few tries.
Collectibles
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Some collectibles carry over between playthroughs, some don't. But you can't tell which ones you missed. So it's highly recommended to get all collectibles in one playthrough.
The Devil Is in the Details
Read all files in a single playthrough. There are 32 total. Use the guide.
Pelicans in Your Pocket
Obtain all Antique Coins on Easy or Normal. There are 18 coins. This does NOT stack with Madhouse.
Mad Pelicans
Obtain all Antique Coins on Madhouse. There are 33 coins. Earning this will NOT unlock the Easy/Normal version.
Can't Catch Me
Complete the "Mia" videotape without being spotted by Marguerite. This is the second videotape. If she spots you, let her kill you so your checkpoint reloads – you'll still get the achievement. If you run away and live, you void it.
Out Before Dessert
Complete the "Happy Birthday" videotape within 5 minutes. This is the third tape. Here's the exact route:
Head to the doorway with the cake. Sprinklers blow out your candle.
Grab the windup key from the keg.
Go to the clown, flush the toilet, stick your hand in, get the telescope.
Near the cake room, equip the dirty telescope and walk through the doorway to clean it.
Use the telescope on the TVs with pictures.
Input the combination on the locked box in the cake room. Get item. Leave.
Turn on the stove burner, burn the figure to get the dummy finger. Light the candle.
Burn the rope off the closed door with the lit candle.
Crouch and keep going toward the right wall to find a balloon.
Go back, put the balloon on the gas pipe.
Go to the clown, give it the dummy finger and quill pen.
Head back to the room with the balloon, put in the LOSER password.
Grab the wheel and head back to the cake room.
Use the wheel on the right side of the room, with the pipe, to turn off the sprinklers.
Go back and light the candle, then put it on the cake.
Be Kind, Please Rewind – Watch all videotapes in a single playthrough. There are only 4, and none are out of the way.
He's Here, There, Everywhere!
Destroy a Mr. Everywhere statuette. There are 20 total.
Mr. Nowhere
Destroy all Mr. Everywhere statuettes. Use the guide.
Misc.
Behind Closed Doors
Close an open door by yourself. Look at a door and press interact.
Arms in the Air
Block an enemy attack by guarding. Just press LB. There's a tutorial for it, so you'll get it there.
Master of Unlocking
Use a lockpick to open something. You get one early on. Use it on any locked container.
Open Your Eyes
Use psychostimulants. You'll find some early on. Use them whenever you want to hunt for items.
A-ha!
Obtain something by closely examining an item. You'll get this without trying. Just examine items, and eventually you'll find something. There are vases with lockpicks and a picture frame with a relief you must examine to progress.
Nice Try
Put an unrelated object on a shadow plinth. After opening the big doors with the relief, you'll be in a large living room with a shadow plinth. Interact with it and use something unsuitable, like an Antique Coin or Chem Fluid.
In the Bag
Increase your item slots. Near the old house with Marguerite, there's a safehouse with a backpack. Grab it.
1st Place at the Science Fair
Create all items that contain Chem Fluid and Strong Chem Fluid. Go to your inventory (Y), press RB to get to the combination tab, and make each of these once:
Chem Fluid + Herb
Strong Chem Fluid + Herb
Chem Fluid + Stimulants
Strong Chem Fluid + Stimulants
Chem Fluid + Solid Fuel
Strong Chem Fluid + Solid Fuel
Chem Fluid + Gunpowder
Strong Chem Fluid + Gunpowder
Good luck, and enjoy the nightmare.
