100% Achievement Guide with puzzle solutions + DLC
Introduction
Welcome to the Resident Evil Achievement Guide!
Almost all of the achievements are self-explanatory, we will add tips and tricks to unlock them and also videos of the locations of the collectibles. The Game has two protagonists each one with his own campaign wich then can be followed up with the other. So You have sort of Leon A, Claire B and Claire A, Leon B campaign.
You have the speedrun related achievements so I would say you have to beat the game around 2 times to get everything if you're really good.

Bosses and Enemies
This section is dedicated to different ways to “play” with the zombies.
Defeat an enemy with a knife. Don't need to be all knife hits to get this one, so you can shoot a zombie down to the floor and then hit him with the knife until you kill it.
Shoot the grenade you fed to an enemy. Equip a grenade as a defense item, then let a zombie grab you and press space to use it. Then step back and quickly shoot it to send him your regards and get the achievement.
Kill 3 enemies at once with a sub-weapon. A good place to do this is in Jail with Leon when the cells are released. Just herd them and throw a grenade to get the achievement.
Shoot a zombie dog or a licker out of the air. Best done with Leon's shotgun when you first encounter a zombie dog at the Parking Garage.
Paralyze a licker's sense of hearing. When you first encounter a licker use a flash grenade on him to stagger it and get the achievement.
Shoot Tyrant's hat off his head. Just a single pistol shot will do, aim for his head and the achievement is yours.
Defeat Stage 2 G using the crane only once. The fight against him is at the final part of the Sewers. Shoot him down 2 or 3 times to make sure that the first crane use is also his last. If he gets knocked down that means you got the achievement.
Defeat Stage 4 G with 4+ minutes left until detonation. This is in Claire's campaign, kill William Birkin as fast as possible outside the train car.
Defeat Super Tyrant with 5+ minutes left until detonation. This is in Leon's campaign Mr. X in his final form will come at you, just down him as fast as possible. After receiving enough damage Ada will send you a rocket launcher to finish him off.
Collectibles
All the collectibles in the game can be found here.
Destroy a Mr. Raccoon. The first Mr. Raccoon that you can get is at the West Office. See "Complete Vermin Extermination" for more details.
Using the photo hints, find 2 hidden items. First you need to get to the Workroom in the Sewers and get the roll film called "Hiding Place". Then you must head to the Dark Room back in the Police Station. Do not worry you will find a shortcut to it around the room where you found the roll film, assuming you have already the T-Bar Valve Handle. Once you reach it, reveal the film to get 2 pictures containing different places for you to loot, being those the Press Room, and the STARS Office. Do a quick search of the desks and you should get your rewards as well as this achievement.
Destroy all Mr. Raccoons. Watch the video below for more information. When you complete this you'll get rewarded an infinite Combat Knife.
Read all of the files. See the video below for more information. We didn't make it.
Miscellaneous
Everything else that doesn’t fit into the other categories.
Combine two items together. You can get this several ways like combining green herbs with red ones, or greens with greens, but interestingly most likely you will get it first by modding your pistol. See the achievement "Customizer" for more details.
Increase your inventory slots. Done after you open the dial safe located at the West Office 1F that will provide you with the item needed. The code for it is as follows: 9left - 15right - 7left.
Customize a weapon. Obtainable after you open the "chest" locked by 2 dial locks at the West Office where the police is throwing a welcoming party dedicated to Leon. The code for the left lock is "NED"; the one for the right lock is "MRG". After that combine the item with your pistol.
Counterattack with a sub-weapon. After you get your first defense item, let a zombie grab you and press space when the time is right to use it.
Use Wooden Boards to board up a window. After you go through the Reception you will encounter a zombie banging on the window. Pick up some Wooden Boards just to your right and use them there to get the achievement.
Open a portable safe. There are two portable safes that you can obtain in a playthrough. If it is your first, or scenario A, you can find one at the Shower Room and the Linen Room. Their solution is actually random but briefly you must press the buttons in a certain order.
Open a dial safe. Gettable after you open any of the ones available throughout the game like the one at West Office. See "Hip to Add Squares" achievement for more information.
Expand inventory slots to max.
Use only the EMF Visualizer to complete Ada's gameplay segment. Do not use the pistol or any sub weapons you may get or else you will fail to get the achievement.
Escape the bedroom within 60 seconds during Sherry's segment. Pick up the Stuffed Doll on the chair. Then examine it on your inventory, turn it around and press Space. It will reveal a block that you need to insert at a puzzle near the door. Solve it and get the Scissors needed to cut yourself out of the bedroom. Its solution is not possible to be told as it's randomized each time you reach this part, but the final stage is as is shown below.
Open all of the safes and locks in the game. See the "Tips" section of this guide for more information, where you will find all the safe and lock codes there are.

- The knife actually has durability so be careful how you use it. Even swinging it against corpses results in a decrease of durability.
- Before you modify a weapon like Leon's Matilda with extended magazine, empty its chambers and then mod it, because it will give you free ammo.
- If you throw a grenade close enough to you, there will be invulnerability frames that can be used to ignore damage. This is especially useful when you are cornered against bosses for example.
- Although it's not achievement related, if you want to get that S+ for some of the infinite weapons unlock you'll need to only save up to 3 times maximum, not use any of those unlimited ammo guns and complete the game within 2:30 hours for A scenario and 2 hours for B on hardcore. The rewards would be the ATM-4 Rocket Laucher for Leon and the Minigun for Claire, both with infinite ammo.
