Resident Evil 4

Merchant requests can be found via blue notes pasted about the place. There are nineteen requests to complete, and most are quite easy to find. Complete their requirements then turn them in at any Merchant, and they’ll be chalked off. Here’s the list of all the Merchant Requests in the game, and their requirements:

Destroy the Blue Medallions

• Area: Farm
• Reward: Spinel x 3
• Progress: 5/5

Find the blue note by the gate at the farm’s exit, and the five blue medallions will be marked on your map.

• Reward: Spinel x 4
• Progress: 1/1

The Lunker Bass is found just a tiny bit east of the boathouse, to the south of the lake. It’s a very big fish, so it’s hard to miss. Hit it with a harpoon from your boat and trundle over to pick it up.

A Savage Mutt - Kill the powerful infected dog

• Area: Village Chief’s Manor
• Reward: Spinel x 8
• Progress: 1/1

Destroy the Blue Medallions 3

• Progress: 6/6

Find the blue note next to the gate that you destroy with the cannon in the Castle Gate area, and the six blue medallions will be marked on your map. A couple of them are very high up and distant, but can be easily destroyed using the cannon.

Merciless Knight - Kill the powerful knight enemy

• Area: Mausoleum
• Reward: Spinel x 8
• Progress: 1/1

• Area: Courtyard
• Reward: Spinel x 3
• Progress: 1/1

Once you begin Chapter 12, don’t jump on the tram towards the Clock Tower. Instead, backtrack to the Merchant’s area just west of the courtyard.

The Disgrace of the Salazar Family - Deface the portrait in the Throne Room

• Area: Throne Room
• Reward: Spinel x 4

Find the portrait of Roman Salazar on the left-hand side of the room, and chuck a Chicken Egg at it. Luckily, there’s a chicken running around laying eggs anyway, so don’t worry if you don’t already have one.
