Resident Evil 4 Remake: All Merchant Request Locations

Merchant Requests are optional tasks that may be completed in Resident Evil 4 Remake, so many players may not make a point to complete them, but that's a mistake. These requests can provide Spinels which are valuable items to be traded to the Merchant for things like gemstones, maps, and upgrade tickets.

There are nineteen Merchant Requests in the game and all of them are of varying tasks with some being easier to complete than others. They are spread out in all three areas of the game with the majority being in the Village and Castle areas. They are all accomplishable in the same chapter they are found.

All Merchant Request Locations

Despite their name, Merchant Requests will not be found by interacting with the Merchant. While moving through different areas of the game, players will notice blue sheets of paper placed around in random spots.

Interact with them, and they will have a short message from the Merchant asking for some task to be completed which will also show the area the task can be completed in and what the reward will be. After collecting them, they can be reopened from the Files menu. Referring to them there will allow players to track their progress, so they know when the task has been completed.

Merchant Request Solutions

All Merchant Requests will be accomplishable in the chapter they are found and generally within the same area where they are found. Some will take a little more hunting around such as the Pest Control and Destroy Blue Medallions requests, but even these are still all within a general area.

Once they're completed, head back to the Merchant to claim its reward. Keep in mind that while it can be tedious to complete all 19 Merchant Requests, the rewards are highly valuable and can make finishing the game much easier. Especially for those who wish to 100% complete it as one of the items that Spinels can be traded for are maps revealing the locations of all treasures within a selected area of the game.

Merchant Request	Solution	Reward
Destroy The Blue Medallions 1	In the Farm area, refer to your map after picking up the request paper and all 5 medallions will be marked on it. Destroy them to complete the request.	3x Spinel
Pest Control	In the Abandoned Factory, kill off three of the rats scurrying around to complete this task.	3x Spinel
Viper Hunter	At this point, if you've already collected three vipers, sell three of them to the Merchant to complete this task. If not, head to the Fish Farm to find some, then sell them off once you have three.	4x Spinel
Grave Robber	Head to the graveyard of the Church. Find the tombstones sitting side by side with a matching symbol on them. Destroy the symbol on both to complete the task.	2x Spinel
Destroy The Blue Medallions 2	In the Quarry/Fish Farm area, refer to your map after picking up the request paper and all 5 medallions will be marked on it. Destroy them to complete the request.	4x Spinel
Egg Hunt	When looking at the lake, there will be an area to the east side of it, just south of one of the two locations that must be investigated. Dock there to find a golden egg that has been laid by a chicken.	3x Spinel
Catch Me A Big Fish	Head to the area of the lake right around the Boat House. You should see a Lunker Bass swimming about. Kill it and then collect it to complete this task.	4x Spinel
A Savage Mutt	Check your map after picking up the request and there will be an exact location marked near the Village Chiefs Manor. Head there to face the infected dog. The best tip for this fight is to do as much heavy damage as possible without letting it get too close.	8x Spinel

Jewel Thief	Head to the Courtyard, not the maze area of it, but the smaller section to the west. When entering this area from the maze section, head right down the path as if heading towards the purple Merchant light. Look up at the roof of the section covering the Merchants Shop and off to the right, there will be a crow perched on a nest. Destroy the nest and take the Scratched Emerald back to the Merchant.	3x Spinel
The Disgrace of the Salazar Family	Head to the Throne Room and retrieve the Golden Egg from the Square Lock Box in the corner of the room. Then take that egg and fling it right at Salazar's portrait. Task completed.	4x Spinel

Even More Pest Control	In the Waste Disposal area, kill off four of the rats scurrying around to complete this task.	3x Spinel
The Wandering Dead	Head to the Incubation Lab with the Biosensor ready to go. Kill off the smaller threat quickly and proceed to identify the weaknesses of the stronger one and take it out. If in need of recovery time, back out of the area a bit and the enemy will remain in the Lab.	8x Spinel
Destroy The Blue Medallions 6	In the Cliffside Ruins area, refer to your map after picking up the request paper and all 5 medallions will be marked on it. Destroy them to complete the request.	5x Spinel

Now all nineteen Merchant Requests have been completed. If you haven't already, head to the Merchant's Shop to claim the Spinels owed to you then have a look at what they can be traded for. Some will likely opt for the maps or gems, which are absolutely worth grabbing early on, but don't overlook the Upgrade Tickets.

These allow for the Exclusive Weapons Upgrade for free and without having to fully upgrade the weapon first. This can be a highly valuable item, especially if low on Pesetas. Whatever Resident Evil 4 Remake players decide to spend their Spinels, be assured that there is no wrong option, as any trade made will only bring great benefits.
