Resident Evil 2 Remake: All Notes Locations | File Collectibles Guide

January 30, 2019 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Find all 58 notes, files, letters and e-mails in Resident Evil 2 with this full guide. You’ll need to play all four scenarios to complete your collection and earn those completion achievements / trophies.

You can’t play an old-school Resident Evil game without notes. There are notes everywhere — whether scraps, print-outs, folders, files, dossiers, or documents. Raccoon City is overflowing with notation, and you’ll have to find it all if you want to 100% this remake of a classic. It’s a survival-horror tradition to litter notes just about everywhere.

Sometimes these notes drop clues about the outbreak, or they exist just to give you hints for puzzles. Some of them are required, most of them are completely optional. They’re all over the place, and you’ll need to play all four campaigns to see them all. Certain notes will only appear in Leon’s campaign, certain notes will only appear in Claire’s campaign — same goes for their second-runs, too. It all sounds complicated, but we’ve got all the notes listed below to help you complete your collection.
