Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep the Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Platinum cleanup efficient.
Phase 1: Run one, Normal difficulty, full collectible sweep
Play on Normal rather than Easy. Normal unlocks The Secrets of Defense, which reduces damage taken and makes the Madhouse run significantly easier.
Collect all 74 collectibles on this run, 32 Files, 20 Mr Everywhere statuettes, 18 Antique Coins and 4 Videotapes. Each Videotape after the first has its own trophy.
Pick up the miscellaneous combat and interaction trophies as you go. There is no chapter select, so anything skipped needs a fresh run.
Take either ending, it makes little practical difference which comes first.
Keep multiple manual saves in separate slots. They are the only recovery mechanism this game gives you.
Phase 2: Run two, Easy difficulty, all three challenge conditions
Target all three conditions in one run, finish inside 4 hours, open the Item Box no more than 3 times, and use no more than 3 First Aid Meds.
Pausing does not add to your 4 hour timer, so pause freely to check a guide. Retrying after death does add time, so reload a manual save instead.
Steroids heal you and raise maximum health without counting against the First Aid Med condition.
Take the second ending on this run so both are banked.
If you miss the Item Box or healing condition here, that is what forces a fourth playthrough. Warn the reader before the run, not after.
Phase 3: Run three, Madhouse
Madhouse must be played as its own run. Difficulty does not stack downward, and the Madhouse trophy cannot be combined with the any-difficulty one.
Collect the 33 Madhouse-exclusive Antique Coins for Mad Pelicans, one of the rarest trophies in the list.
Use the Saw Blade unlocked from your challenge run. It makes boss fights, Madhouse included, close to trivial.
Enemy and item placement change on Madhouse, so a Normal-difficulty route will not carry over cleanly.
This is the run buyers most often want handled. One soft mention of DamnModz here is appropriate, then back to strategy.
Phase 4: Cleanup
Check off any miscellaneous combat trophies still outstanding. Most can be picked up quickly in a fresh partial run.
The platinum, Biosplattered, unlocks on the last trophy.
Ignore the DLC unless you want full completion. Banned Footage Vol 1 and 2 and End of Zoe are separate lists.
Efficient route
The Correct Three Run Order
Run one on Normal for collectibles and misc trophies, run two on Easy for the three challenge conditions, run three on Madhouse. Explain why in one line each, because getting this wrong is what turns 20 hours into 30.
Why You Should Play Normal, Not Easy, First
Normal unlocks The Secrets of Defense, which materially helps on Madhouse. Almost nobody leads with this.
Guide notes
Madhouse Difficulty
Its own trophy, its own 33 Antique Coins, changed enemy and item placement, and no downward stacking so it cannot be combined with the any-difficulty trophy. Include the Saw Blade point, it makes even Madhouse bosses close to trivial.
Guide notes
All Antique Coins, Both Sets
, an H3 each. 18 on Easy or Normal, 33 exclusive to Madhouse. Mad Pelicans is one of the rarest trophies in the list and this is the highest-intent collectible search for this game.
Efficient route
The Three Challenge Conditions
, an H3 each. Under 4 hours, Item Box opened 3 times or fewer, and 3 First Aid Meds or fewer. Note the practical rules, pausing does not add to your timer but retrying after death does, and Steroids heal without counting against the healing condition.
Speedrun Unlockables and Run Order
The Circular Saw and X-Ray Glasses come from meeting the challenge conditions, and they are what make run three manageable.
Efficient route
The Two Endings
Both required. Which one to take first and why it barely matters mechanically.
DLC Lists Are Separate
Banned Footage Vol 1, Banned Footage Vol 2 and End of Zoe are their own lists and none are needed for the platinum.

Guide notes
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Missable, Glitched, and Difficulty Notes
- Nearly every non-story trophy is missable, because Resident Evil 7 has no chapter select. Multiple manual saves in separate slots are the only recovery route.
- Difficulty does affect trophies here, which is unusual for this cluster. Madhouse has its own trophy and its own 33 exclusive Antique Coins.
- Difficulty does not stack downward. Completing Madhouse does not award the any-difficulty completion trophy, so that run has to happen separately.
- The Secrets of Defense only unlocks by playing Normal, not Easy. Choosing Easy on run one quietly makes Madhouse harder.
- The three challenge conditions can be combined into one run, but missing the Item Box or First Aid Med condition is the usual cause of an unplanned fourth playthrough.
- Both endings are required, and the collectible sets differ between the standard difficulties and Madhouse.
- No glitched trophies are widely reported, which is worth stating as a positive on a list this missable.
- The DLC packs are separate trophy lists and none of them are required for the platinum.
Quick answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How many playthroughs do you need to platinum Resident Evil 7?
Three at minimum, and four if you miss the Item Box or healing conditions on the challenge run. One collectible run, one challenge run, and one on Madhouse.
How long does it take to platinum Resident Evil 7?
Around 20 to 30 hours across all runs. The challenge run itself can be under 3 hours once you know the route.
Should I play Easy or Normal first in Resident Evil 7?
Normal. It unlocks The Secrets of Defense, which reduces damage taken and makes the Madhouse run noticeably easier. Easy does not.
How many Antique Coins are in Resident Evil 7?
18 on Easy or Normal and 33 more that only appear on Madhouse difficulty. Mad Pelicans requires the full Madhouse set and is one of the rarest trophies in the game.
Does difficulty affect trophies in Resident Evil 7?
Yes. Madhouse has its own trophy and its own exclusive collectibles, and difficulty does not stack downward, so beating Madhouse will not award the any-difficulty trophy.
Are there missable trophies in Resident Evil 7?
Nearly all the non-story ones, because there is no chapter select. Keeping several manual saves in different slots is the only way to recover a missed trophy without a full replay.
Do you need the Resident Evil 7 DLC for the platinum?
No. Banned Footage Vol 1, Banned Footage Vol 2 and End of Zoe are separate trophy lists and none of them count toward the base platinum.
Does pausing count toward the 4 hour trophy?
No. Pausing does not add to your timer, so you can check a guide freely. Retrying after a death does add time, so reload a manual save instead.
