This is my Resident Evil 2 100% Achievements Guide.

Use Ctr+F to quickly search for specific achievement.

I try to make my guides in such a way that any player of any skill level can get that 100% on a game. So if your a pro gamer looking for a new tips on how to speedrun this game you're probably in wrong place.

That being said i must warn you in advance, it took me nine playthroughs to get all achievements on main game. It's not optimal but I think is the easiest way, mostlu becouse you can get infinity ammo pistol by finishing standard with S+ rank and that gun makes hardcore playthrough very easy.
Of course if you want you can go for S+ rank on hardcore but more on that later. Lets start with all collectibles.

Those achievements are story related and don't need any guide.


Welcome to the City of the Dead - Make it to the police station.



Never-Ending Rain - Escape the police station.



Hack Complete - Complete Ada's segment.





Hide and Seek - Complete Sherry's segment.




A Great Need for a Shower - Escape from the sewers.



A Hero Emerges - Complete Leon's story.



A Heroine Emerges - Complete Claire's story.



Broken Umbrella - Witness the true ending.

To get all collectibles you gave to finish game at least 4 times.
There are two runs available for each character. Finishing first run for one character unlocks second run for the other character. Second run is slightly different, there are some new areas and some items are in different locations.
I played Leon 1st, Claire 1st, Leon 2nd and Claire 2nd.

So you got all collectibles and you finished game 4 timeas already.
Now is time to get 3 more achievements out of the way and you can get them all in one playthrough.


Frugalist - Complete the game without using a recovery item.



Minimalist - Clear the game without opening the item box.



A Small Carbon Footprint - Take 14000 steps or fewer in one playthrough.


I recorded my entire playthrough for this but then it occred to me that probably no one want to watch 3h or so of gameplay. Instead I will make a written guide here.

Those 3 achievements are in perfect synergy with each other.
Since you won't be healing you don't need to pick up any healing items.
Since you don't pick up any healing items you don't waste space in inventory.
And since you don't use item box you don't run to it every time you'r inventory is full so you save steps.

To make it easy play on assiseted difficulty. On assisted you heal up to orange "caution" level when you take damage.

I also recommend playing as Leon as shotgun is great weapon throughout entire game and it's easier to manage gunpoders for shotgun shells.

- Use save point as often as you pass near one but don't back track to one if you don't have to.


As for item management you have to carefully plan your route. Key items are your priority. You can't store those items so you want to use them everywhere you can in discard them. This is especially important with Purple Diamond Key as you can easily pass by Shooting Range door near the Kennels. And Handle Bar for opening doors in Sewers. Remember that there are doors at the beginning of this level when you drop down in to water. I recommend to back track to it and open it as well as secret doors leading back to Police Station just to get rid of this item from inventory.

In general try to use up Key Items as soon as possible.

While picking up a Gunpowder combine it with High Grade Gunpowder to get shotgun shells.
60 9mm bullets is planty and you don't need another stack of those.


This is very important.
Don't pick up upgrades that make your wepons bigger. You can't discard them and it's just a waste of space. Only exeption from this is shotgun. Bopth upgrades will extend it's sice an in my opinion it's a very powerfull wepon so I upgraded it to the max.

I skipped both upgrades for Lightning Hawk as I didn't wantet to waste steps. It's quite good withouth them.

I also didn't picked up flamer. I left it in the sewers. It's good only in few spots, mostly for killing Ivys in the Lab but you can just shoot off those orange growths off of them and run past them when they stagger or fall down.

You can't use infinite knife you get for destroying all Raccoons since it's in the box you can't use. Don't worry, there's plenty of ammo all around.

There's a nice little trick to get away with Maiden Medallion faster. After you plant Explosive Device run out of West Storage Room in to Library. That way book shelf won't block this door and you will save yourself some time and ammo.



I think that's it, that's all the tips you need for this playthrough.
If you have troubles with any of the sections let me know in a comment or add me on Steam and I will help you get through it.

Leon "S." Kennedy - Complete Leon's story on "Standard" or "Hardcore" with an S rank.



Sizzling Scarlet Hero - Complete Claire's story on "Standard" or "Hardcore" with an S rank.


Playthrough 6 and 7.

Go for the S+ rank on Standard. It rewards you with infinite ammo pistol that makes Hardcore run a piece of cake.

To get S+ rank you have to finish game on Standard or Hardcore difficulty within certain time limmit:

3 hours and 30 minutes for Scenario A Standard
3 hours for Scenario B Standard
2 hours and 30 minutes for Scenario A Hardcore
2 hours for Scenario B Hardcore

You can't save more than 3 times
You can't use any infinite ammo guns
But infinite knife is allowed

Hardcore difficulty gives more powerfull weapons like minigun and rocket launcher but let's be honest, those weapons are useless. You can't use them to get any other achievement so why bother. It you're able to do it on Hardcore you will save yourself 2 playthroughs.

I did it od Standard and that's what I recommend.

There is auto save before and after every major event so you don't have to use saves at all (auto save is disabled on Hardcore).


Use Infinite Knife to kill all normal zombies in your way so you can save ammo and move quickly later on. Most Lickers can be avoided although you should kill the one near the West Office as you will be running through this corridors few times. Use shotgun ofcourse.

Board all the windows wherever you can.

Since you'r useing knife for kills save all High-grade Gunpowder for Lightning Hawk or MQ-11 SMQ ammo. Those weapons will serve you well agains G Adults in Sewers (underwater enemies) as well as against bosses.

Lab is short so if get there in around 2 houers you shold be good.

For boss fights check Boss Fights section below.

Here are my times and I was runinng back and forth with items to store for later.

Hardcore Rookie - Complete Leon's story on "Hardcore" game mode.



Hardcore College Student - Complete Claire's story on "Hardcore" game mode.


Playthrough 8 and 9

Now you should have infinite knife and infinite ammo pistol.
On Hardcore difficulty auto save is disables and you need Ink Tape to save manually. There are plenty of those around and at least on near Typewriter so don't worry, you shouldn't run out of those.

There are only 3 inventory upgrades avaible.

With infinite weapons those runs are quite easy. Don't rush it and kill all enemies in your way. Lickers can be shot from another room. Simply oped a door, shoot it few times before door closes and repeat until you kill it.

Save High-grade Gunpowder for your most powerfull weapons.

For boss fights check out "Boss Fights" section below.

Bon Appétit - Shoot the grenade you fed to an enemy.





Zombie Roundup - Kill 3 enemies at once with a sub-weapon.





Keep Their Heads Ringin' - Paralyze a licker's sense of hearing.





Hats Off! - Shoot Tyrant's hat off his head.
