Resident Evil 0 Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap

Never select New Game from the main menu once you have progress. It wipes your collected weapons and removes Leech Hunter and Wesker Mode along with any tweaks you earned.

Understand that Leech Hunter and Wesker Mode inherit their difficulty from your clear save file, so the difficulty you clear the campaign on determines how hard those modes are.

Decide your route now. Beginners should clear on Easy first. Veterans confident of an S rank can start on Hard and save a whole playthrough.

Clear the campaign on Easy. This makes Leech Hunter and Wesker Mode easier later because both inherit this difficulty.

Use this run for the hardest fiddly trophies, Mimicry Marcus with a knife only, all bosses except Centurion using Rebecca, no recovery items and no combining herbs.

Play the piano as Rebecca in the bar room after the Blue Door in the Training Facility. Only Billy opens the secret passage, so Rebecca failing is what awards the trophy. Note this cannot be done during Leech Hunter.

Defeat 16 bats in the church during the Giant Bat fight. Make a separate save first and bring healing items.

Touch everything on the train. Anything untouched there is permanently missable, and watch the Conductor Zombie which follows you between cars.

Collect the Team Wesker costume in game. The paid costume packs do not include it.

Collect 100 leech charms. This also unlocks the Revolver.

Kill every enemy in the mode, including the 22 that respawn once you have gathered 90 leeches. This is the hardest single requirement in the game.

You cannot drop leeches once acquired, so split them roughly 50 to Rebecca and 40 to Billy, which keeps Billy's inventory free for weapons.

Ammo is very limited and your starting loadout varies, either the submachine gun with two green herbs in the lobby or the magnum with one blue and one green.

This is the section buyers most often want handled. One soft mention of DamnModz fits here, then back to routing.

A second run for the collect-all-of-only-one-colour trophy, which requires deliberately taking only one leech type.

You will need to kill some enemies but not all of them this time, so this run is much shorter.

This is the trophy most readers need a guide for, so give it precise directions rather than general advice.

Unlocked after beating the game. You play the campaign as Wesker in place of Billy.

Use Wesker's charged attack on every zombie you meet. Aim with R1, hold Square until the aura turns red, then release. The kill trophy for this is missable, so do it constantly rather than saving it.

Complete this run without saving for that trophy. Infinite ammo is available if you have played Leech Hunter, which makes the no-save run realistic.

Finish the campaign on Hard for that trophy. Enemy locations are the same on every difficulty, so your route knowledge transfers completely.

Target the S rank here, under 3 hours 30 minutes on Normal or Hard. Easy gives no rank at all.

Pausing does not affect the timer, so check a route guide freely mid run.

Veterans who landed the S rank on an earlier Hard run can skip this phase entirely, which is the whole benefit of the veteran route.

The SMG for finishing under 4 hours 30 minutes on Normal or Hard, the Rocket Launcher for under 3 hours 30 minutes, and the Revolver for collecting 100 leeches in Leech Hunter. These change what later runs feel like, so the order matters.

Cross-link our Resident Evil 2, 5, 7, Village and Requiem pages, and note that unlike Resident Evil 1 you cannot change difficulty for the extra modes here.
