Resident Evil Village: A Complete Guide to All Treasure Map Loot Locations
In the grim and gothic world of Resident Evil Village, survival hinges on more than just quick reflexes and ample ammunition. It demands resourcefulness. Scattered coins, valuable gems, and rare crafting materials are the lifeblood of your upgrade path, turning a standard shotgun into a powerhouse or allowing you to max out your pistol's firepower early on. While many treasures are hidden in plain sight or locked behind simple puzzles, the most lucrative and well-concealed secrets are revealed only through Treasure Maps. These cryptic documents point toward immense wealth for those sharp enough to decipher their clues.
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for every Treasure Map and its corresponding loot location, organized by area, to ensure you leave no Lei uncollected.
1. The Castle Dimitrescu Treasure Map
-
Map Name: Treasure Map (Castle Dimitrescu)
-
How to Obtain: Found in the Attic, immediately after the first encounter with Lady Dimitrescu. As you exit the attic through a break in the wall, turn around and look up to a high ledge. Shoot the shiny object to make the map fall to the floor.
-
The Clue: The map depicts a bird's-eye view of the Castle Courtyard, highlighting a specific gravesite near the large statue and the Maiden of War (WAR) statue.
-
Loot Location: Fast travel or make your way to the Castle Courtyard site of grace. Face the large statue of the woman with the sword. To your right, you will see a small graveyard with several headstones. The map points to the second headstone from the left. Examine it to unearth the treasure.
-
The Loot: Crimson Skull. This is not a simple gem; it's a highly valuable crystal skull that sells for a whopping 20,000 Lei. It's an incredible boost to your finances in the early game.
2. The House Beneviento Treasure Map
-
Map Name: Treasure Map (House Beneviento)
-
How to Obtain: This map is found in a slightly less obvious place. After obtaining the Iron Insignia Key and during your main quest to retrieve the elevator key, you will enter a room with a projector and a baby's crib. The map is on a small table in this room.
-
The Clue: The drawing shows the waterfall behind House Beneviento, with an "X" marking a spot on the cliffside to the right of the falls.
-
Loot Location: Exit the front of House Beneviento and take the path to the right, leading down toward the waterfall. Instead of going down to the river, look for a narrow, somewhat hidden path that leads along the cliff face to the right of the crashing water. Follow this path to its end.
-
The Loot: Yellow Quartz. A valuable gem that sells for 9,000 Lei. While not as lucrative as the Crimson Skull, it's a significant find in an area otherwise devoid of many resources.
3. The Moreau’s Reservoir Treasure Map
-
Map Name: Treasure Map (Reservoir)
-
How to Obtain: Located in the shack at the very beginning of the Reservoir area, before you even meet Moreau. It's on a barrel inside this small building.
-
The Clue: The map illustrates the large windmill on the hill above the reservoir, with an "X" placed directly at its base.
-
Loot Location: This one is straightforward but requires progression. After draining the reservoir for the first time, a new path will open up. You will eventually need to ascend the hill with the windmill to solve a puzzle involving bells. The treasure is buried at the base of this large windmill.
-
The Loot: Sapphire Sword. This ornate bejeweled dagger is purely for selling. It fetches a fantastic 11,000 Lei, providing essential funds for the upcoming challenges.
4. The Heisenberg’s Factory Treasure Map
-
Map Name: Treasure Map (Factory)
-
How to Obtain: Found in the Production Zone 2 area. After using the Crank to lower a bridge and navigating through a hallway with a Soldat that bursts through a window, you'll enter a large room with a staircase. The map is on a workbench at the bottom of these stairs.
-
The Clue: The schematic-like drawing points to a specific spot near some pipes and a ladder in the factory's complex layout. The key landmark is a large, prominent ladder.
-
Loot Location: Head to the Processing Area. From the room where you found the map, continue forward until you reach a large, multi-level chamber with a furnace at the bottom. Work your way down to the lowest level. Against a wall, you will find a long ladder. The treasure is buried at the foot of this ladder, near a set of pipes.
-
The Loot: Giocentaurus. This is a rare and valuable mechanical part from the factory, selling for an impressive 18,000 Lei.
5. The Stronghold (Luiza’s House) Treasure Map
-
Map Name: Treasure Map (Stronghold)
-
How to Obtain: This map is not found in a building but on a body. After the intense battle in the Stronghold (the area after the wooden bridge is raised), you will eventually come to a section where you are climbing wooden structures and being fired upon by archers. In a cave-like area just before the final descent to the watchtower, look for a corpse on the ground with a glowing item. This is the map.
-
The Clue: The map depicts the ruins of Luiza's house, specifically the stone well in the center of the property.
-
Loot Location: Fast travel or return to Luiza's House in the field. The entire area is in ruins. The well, however, remains intact. Approach the well and examine it to retrieve the treasure from within.
-
The Loot: Madalina. This is a classic Resident Evil treasure, a decorated silver bottle. It sells for a substantial 12,000 Lei.
General Tips for Treasure Hunting
- Listen for the Sound: When you are near a diggable treasure spot, Ethan will often mutter a clue like, "What's that?" or "Looks like I can dig here." More reliably, you will hear a distinct, soft shimmering or glowing sound emanating from the exact spot.
- Check Your Map: Once you have a Treasure Map, your main map screen will often show a new icon or a change in the area it corresponds to, giving you a more precise location than the map's drawing.
- Return Later: Don't stress about finding every piece of loot on your first pass. Once you have better weapons, keys, and tools (like the Crank), you can easily fast travel back to any area to mop up missed treasures without the threat of enemies.
- Sell Strategically: While it's tempting to sell everything immediately, consider combining treasures first. A gem embedded in a weapon or object always sells for more than the individual components combined. Check the Duke's "Combinable Treasures" section before selling any loose gems.
By meticulously hunting down these maps and their rewards, you will amass a fortune in Lei, transforming Ethan Winters from a desperate father into a well-armed force capable of taking on any horror the village has to offer. Happy hunting
