Discovering all 25 elusive Mr. Raccoon statues in the game "Resident Evil Requiem" is a significant undertaking that offers substantial rewards. These hidden trinkets, some easily spotted and others masterfully concealed, are key to unlocking the "Advanced Tuning" bonus and successfully completing the "You Little Rascal!" challenge. Players are advised to seek out and destroy these collectibles as they progress through the narrative, as certain areas become inaccessible, making backtracking impossible. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive roadmap to each statue, ensuring players can maximize their in-game achievements.
The journey to collect all Mr. Raccoon statues spans various locations within "Resident Evil Requiem." Players will navigate diverse environments, from the eerie confines of the Care Center to the desolated streets of Raccoon City and the secure areas of the RPD, and finally, the Ark. Each statue requires players to be observant and, at times, strategic, utilizing tools like sniper rifles to target distant figures. The game’s design cleverly integrates these collectibles into the environment, often placing them in plain sight but easily overlooked amidst the action or tucked away in obscure corners.
For instance, within the Care Center, the first Mr. Raccoon statue emerges shortly after a confrontation in the Rehabilitation Ward, perched on a fireplace mantle. An auditory cue, a distinct noise emitted by the statue, can aid players in identifying nearby collectibles. As players assume the role of Grace, more statues appear, such as one on the reception desk of the East Wing Lobby, another in a small room east of the Waiting Room, and one atop a coffee maker in the Kitchenette of the West Wing's second floor. After acquiring the ID Wristband Level 3, an empty cell with a wall-hole reveals another statue beside a bed. When playing as Leon in the Care Center, a warped closet in the Records Room on the second floor of the West Wing hides another collectible.
Transitioning to the Basement, Grace encounters a statue on a workshop desk, accessible by using a joint plug to open a door. Another statue is found on a television in the Bunkroom, also requiring a joint plug for access. In the Care Center Courtyard, while searching for helicopter keys in the Private Lab, a Mr. Raccoon statue rests on a desk. As Leon, back in the Care Center Courtyard after returning as Grace, two distant lights viewed from a balcony's first flight of stairs hint at a statue, discoverable by zooming in with a sniper rifle on the furthest light.
Moving into Raccoon City as Leon, a statue is located inside a cabinet at Café Oasis, near The Applegate Hotel. In East Raccoon City, another can be found atop a car on a bridge to the west of the Central Camp, visible from the Logistics Warehouse roof with a sniper rifle. An underground parking garage houses a statue on a stack of boxes. Climbing the Cedarbrook Apartments, an open refrigerator on the top floor reveals a collectible. Outside the apartments, a ruined bus holds a statue by the driver's seat window. Inside the Gas Station, a statue awaits on a top shelf. Descending into the sewers west of the Gas Station, after activating a generator, a statue is nestled on a pipe. Within the sewer system, near Ridgewood Station, a subway car contains another statue. Ascending the Willis Tower, a shelf conceals a statue after the first flight of stairs. Finally, in the RPD area, after a motorcycle sequence, a statue is found beside broken cars. Another is hidden beneath rubble in the Operations Room, and one more in the Library, on the bottom shelf of a central bookshelf. Lastly, in the Ark, after the Loading Dock, a statue rests on green crates before descending a staircase, and the final one is in the Operations Room, on a shelf above a computer, after navigating through Bioweapon Repository 05.
Successfully locating and destroying all 25 Mr. Raccoon statues is not just about completing an in-game challenge; it's a testament to a player's dedication and keen observation skills. The reward, "Advanced Tuning," significantly enhances future gameplay, offering a tangible benefit for this extensive scavenger hunt. Players should remain vigilant and methodical throughout their journey, ensuring no statue is missed, thereby fully experiencing this unique aspect of "Resident Evil Requiem."
