Resident Evil 4 is already among us. After much waiting and hype from players, the classic is finally back in a fully updated version, with a new look, new gameplay and other new features that make the experience even better.
If you too are already venturing out to save the president’s daughter, in this guide we help you with something that may be important during your journey. Check out the text to find out how Leon can open every drawer in the game!
Watching the Small Keys
Throughout the game, you’ll find several drawers that require a small key to open them. Inside those drawers, you’ll get assorted items, including some that can earn you some good money at the Merchant.
It is important to remember that at certain times in the game you are unable to return to previous regions, which means that you can no longer open the drawers that you left behind in this save. So, be careful if you don’t want to lose any treasure.
You have 8 small keys to find in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and they appear in the village and the castle, that is, the first two regions of the game. On the island, there are no small keys.
