How to unlock the Bandit achievement in Resident Evil 4 - Definitive Guide

There are a few important details that I wanted to add so people know.

The Village is chapters 1-6.

You can buy the treasure map for 1 spinel from completing side quests. The first opportunity to earn spinels is at the Farm to destroy the 5 blue medallions.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Important thing #1: You need to get the 4 Treasures at the Abandoned Factory (start of chapter 2) BEFORE the Del Lago boss fight at the lake (Chapter 4). This area becomes blocked off and you can't go back there after. 1 of the treasures you need a key to unlock it, the other 3 do not require anything special.

The key location for the treasure is in the Valley. It is in the house where the Hexagonal Emblem is on top of the roof. It's in the small room in the corner.

The other 3 treasures on the pathway leading to the Village Chiefs Manor these 3 do not require anything special and can be shot at/ opened up normally.

In total there are 4 treasures (one that requires a key) you need to get that can be blocked off at the end of chapter 3. Personally I would make sure you get them all right away in chapter 2 when you are walking through that area.

[The Village Chiefs Manor does not get blocked off. Everything past that does heading away from the Village]
________________________________________________________________________________________
Important thing #2: In chapter 5 you need to have 35/39 treasures before you head back through the Farm area with Ashley. Once you go past the bridge you cannot go back and any treasures you missed are gone. Again you should have 35/39 treasures. Chapter 5 ends after you pass the bridge and do the fight.
________________________________________________________________________________________
The last 4 treasures are found in chapter 6.


________________________________________________________________________________________
In conclusion make sure you get the treasure in the Abandoned Factory (start of chapter 2) and the 3 treasures on the pathway leading to the Village Chiefs Manor during chapter 2 or 3 if you missed any. In chapter 5 make sure you have 35/39 treasures before going over the bridge in the Farm. The final 4 treasures are in chapter 6 make sure you get those final 4 in that chapter.
________________________________________________________________________________________
There is a treasure counter on your map in the bottom right corner in case you missed it.

“… because in NG+ you can't get the treasures again, only the ones you haven't got.”

? I’ve been getting all the treasures again in NG+ so I’m unsure what you’re encountering.

@champion certain parts of the map become blocked off at certain points through the campaign

You can miss Small Keys and Hexagon Pieces, so I think locations would be helpful

I messed up and didn’t get all the small keys so I missed two treasures. So if you’re reading this : make sure you’re prioritizing small keys as well as treasures because they’re missable and will result in you not being able to get every treasure

It was never my full intent to do a complete guide for this. I was just trying to make some important notes. But since there is so much interest I will write up a where to find the keys. Please give me a few days and I will update to where all the keys are!

35 was definitely not true for me. I had 34 at the farm and collected the final one just before the castle...thought I'd missed it cause of the above guide.

@mattdanky Yeah, that happens in a normal new game or NG+… the part I was questioning was the suggestion that you can’t get ALL treasures in NG+… you most certainly can. Every time you begin the game, NG or NG+, all treasures are re-placed in their normal spot and can be collected.

There are 39 treasures in the Village region (chapters 1-6). You can buy the treasure map from The Merchant so you will be able to track their locations and the progress. Only treasures with fixed locations count, random loot and drop from bosses don't count towards.
You will not be able to return to that region after entering the castle region (chapter 7+).
Some areas in the Village unlocked / locked as you play the story so you need to collect everything along the story path.

Didn’t know about the chapter cut off. Thanks for the tip! P.s. I tried liking the solution but it won’t let me for some reason.

Yeah so there are also locks on areas at chapter 4 and 5 preventing you from going back into areas like the lake and village area which would have been helpful to note...left one treasure to backtrack to cause I hadn't found the small key needed and this guide said cutoff was chapter 6 but couldn't go back. Thanks!

Just as a warning to all as I’ve suffered this, make sure you get all the treasures accessible from the lake BEFORE the end of chapter 5, the map cuts off after the fight scene in the house and you will not be able to go back!!

It also seems like the path to the abandoned factory area from the Village Chief's Manor blocks off at some point before (or at the start of) Chapter 5. From reading around a bit it seems like it blocks off after the Del Lago fight.

If you listen to the merchant at certain points during Act 1, he will warn you before proceeding that you should finish the area first. I would recommend some clearer deadlines for when area access is lost. I'm still going through 2 and 3 but assume that's the pattern.

Can confirm can’t access anywhere prior during chapter 6. Missed a treasure in village and lake area thinking I’d go back before chapter 7 castle but unable to.

I’m on my second playthrough NG+, was absolutely meticulous checking off each treasure from IGN’s list. When I got to the castle and started chapter 7 I did not get an achievement nor did the challenge check off.

The most important thing to do here is to make a separate save file at the beginning of Chapter 1, so that you can return to do the whole village section if you miss anything, and to buy the Village Map from the Merchant as soon as possible in Chapter 2. Once you have the Village Map, all 39 treasure locations will be marked on your map, so it’s a simple case of frequently checking your map so that you don’t leave any treasure behind.

The main thing that might trip you up during this section is the use of Small Keys. There are four Small Keys found throughout the Village section of the game, and they are to be used on four Locked Drawers. However, while any key can be used on any drawer, it’s important to make sure you use them in the correct locations, as you can inadvertently softlock certain treasures in Locked Drawers if you’re not careful

Small Keys
  • Valley - Use on the Locked Drawer at Abandoned Factory
  • Village Chief’s Manor - Use on the Locked Drawer in the Village
  • Fish Farm - Use on the Locked Drawer in the Merchant’s Hideout
  • Forest Altar - Use on the Locked Drawer under the Lakeside Settlement
  • Church - Use on the Locked Drawer under the Church

Additionally, you’ll need to pick up the Old Wayshrine Key at the beginning of Chapter 4, by the dock at Mural Cave to the south of the lake. This can then be used at multiple Locked Wayshrines marked on your map.

Finally, there is one piece of treasure locked behind a hexagon puzzle, by the docks just east of the Fish Farm. To open this, you’ll need three Hexagon Pieces.
  • Hexagon Piece A - Located in a chest within the Merchant’s Hideout
  • Hexagon Piece B - Located in a chest in the Fish Farm
  • Hexagon Piece C - Located in a chest in the Small Cave Shrine to the northeast of the lake.
