The sprawling Castle is the second major location of Resident Evil 4 Remake. And like the original, this area is teeming with treasures for Leon to find and pawn off on the nearest Merchant for a high price. The treasures in the Castle are especially tricky. Many require extensive puzzles and some serious backtracking. You can’t easily revisit every location, so you’ll also want to grab as many as you can while you’re progressing through the story — that’s why I’ve listed all the treasures in order of how they’re encountered.
Some treasures can’t be collected until later. You’ll need a key item — or a literal Small Key to open locked drawers. Small Keys are rare items that aren’t marked on your map, even if you purchase the Treasure Map. We’ll list all the locations for the Small Keys below and explain where to take them to get all 41 treasures in the Castle. Don’t miss out on these treasures. You can even unlock a powerful new rifle that can shred enemies.
