Key Takeaways

  • There are 19 Merchant Requests in Resident Evil 4 Remake available for players to partake in.
  • These requests come with a particular task the player must complete and act as side quests in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
  • Out of all 16 chapters, Chapters 6, 8, 13, and 16 do not contain any Merchant Requests.
  • Upon completing each Merchant Request, players are granted Spinels, a form of the gem used for trading at the Merchant Store.
  • Once you complete all 19 Merchant Requests, you unlock a silver trophy/achievement named “Jack Of All Trades.”

What Are Merchant Requests

While exploring around, players run across various pieces of paper that are available to collect. These pages contain a quest that is not connected to the main story, hence, only serving as Side Quest. These side quests are 19 in total, each with a new task player can embark on. The pages containing these side quests are also known as Merchant Requests in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Once players obtain the side quest pages and fulfill the given task, they must go to the Merchant and inform him. The Merchant will reward the player with some Spinels, a sort of exchangeable gem you use to trade with the Merchant. Players can obtain various unique items such as Weapon Equipment, Exclusive Upgrade Tickets, or Treasure Maps in exchange for Spinels.
