How to unlock the Knives Out achievement in Resident Evil Village - Definitive Guide
Think the description of this achievement is a little confusing so for clarification if anyone is interested from someone who has done it. When I first read the description I thought it literally meant you couldn’t use guns at all but you can use guns to shoot animals, shoot the goat collectibles, shoot the windows in the castle, shoot treasures out of wall or ceiling, use guns to shoot environment like lowing bridges opening locks. You have to use a pipe bomb in the castle against the witch and you also have to use Chris’ laser weapon.
Personally think it should be along the lines of do not use anything but melee weapons to cause any damage or kill any enemy apart from the two times it mentions.
The two times you can use weapons as an attack are the first phase of heisenburg only the first phase once you get back on your feet you have to switch back to knife and the final boss to shoot the energy mass above her but again make sure you quickly switch back after you have destroyed it. As mentioned below this is at the end of the fight once she grabs you not during the fight. You will know when it happens as it is the only time the fight stops and control is taken away from you for a quick moment.
It isn’t to bad at all if you use the knife from the shop on casual difficulty. I did a knife only, less than 4 heals, less than spending 10,000 money, speedrun under 3 hours very comfortably.
One thing to note just incase people do what I did, I actually had to do this run twice, right at the end of the game when you fight the giant mace guy with Chris, do not use the laser pointer, I thought
It was scripted and you had to use it but no you have to kill that enemy with the knife and it takes a long long time to do. I seemed to be only be able to hit him in his left knee but this boss takes as many knife slashes than the rest of the bosses in the game combined. Weird

Keep multiple saves, keep checking the challenges menu to see if it has registered any shots on enemies

see it let me restart the section so i didn't have to do another run of the whole game. He does take a bit of time though.

Idk why no one spelled this out but during Chris' "nuke the mold 3 times"-section you don't have to bother with any of the Lycans - just make sure to aim at the back of the mold to not accidentally hit an Archer on top and once the rocket comes in the entire wave will despawn without voiding the cheevo.
This achievement is not as hard as it may seem, first of all there are many things you can still shoot, you can shoot animals, objects off walls, windows, and the environment, (goats too). If you are nervous that you may have used a "gun" then you can check the challenge under the "Challenges" tab. Now, this achievement should be done along with Frugal Father (Less than 10K Lei spent), and on either Normal, or Easy difficulty.
1: In one of the fights with Dimitrescu daughter, you have to throw a Pipe Bomb to break the wall, this does not count as using a gun.
2: Shooting the bells in that one room does not count as using a gun.
3: Shooting the cage things that have ammo/supplies does not count as using a gun.
4: When Miranda pins you on the ground and you are prompted to shoot her, you can use a gun without it counting.
5: People do this for some reason, but during the Urias Streajer fight, you CANNOT USE THE TARGET LOCATOR! ONLY THE MELEE WEAPON!
6: During Heisenbergs fight, you can shoot him in the tank, but when you get on the ground on your feet and not in the tank, you must use melee only!
Now that we have that covered, I will give you 2 weapons ideas, 1- the Karambit Knife, basically a way better version of the knife, 2- the LZ Answerer (Note: The LZ Answerer is unlocked by getting SS rank in all Mercenaries levels, Excludes DLC), the LZ Answerer is the most powerful and it has the power to heal the player if you change the color to green.
RED= POWERFUL
BLUE=LEAST DAMAGE WHILE BLOCKING
GREEN=HEAL WHEN ATTACKING ENEMIES

You can only use guns while facing Heisenberg with the Mech and while facing Miranda when it prompts you to shoot. Other than that ALL fights and enemies must be killed with a close combat weapon.

- It is recommended to play in NG+ on easy difficulty and combine with the passage no more than four means of recovery, Complete the story by spending no more than 10,000 lei and Complete the story within 3 hours (when you press pause in the game, the timer stops)
- Also try to pump up the character himself to the maximum using the kitchen. In one playthrough you can fully pump up energy, reinforced block and stamina. CHECKED, the main thing is to inspect everything in the game. Video guide (En) on rare ingredients, video guide (En) on fish, video guide (En) on meat. PROGRESS IN THE KITCHEN WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO NG+.
- do not use replenishments, it’s easy on difficulty, over time the character recovers itself
- When you reach certain places in the game, you will be fully replenished: when you first enter Dimetrescu Castle, during the events in the Beneviento house, before and after the skirmish with the Heisenberg boss.
- You can buy a pre-reinforced Karambit knife
- The Challenge menu will appear, in which you can check directly in the game whether you made a mistake and killed someone with something other than a knife. The death counter must always be ZERO. If some number is lit, reload the save earlier.
Places where you can use weapons :
- You can freely shoot at the environment, buttons in the factory, bells, yellow destructible bars that are needed in the plot, I collected precious stones along the way and there were no problems. THE MAIN THING IS NOT TO SHOOT AT ENEMIES!
- a fight with one of Dimetrescu’s daughters where you need to throw a grenade to break the wall
- fight with Heisenberg, you need to shoot him from the car. Then he throws you out, cut you with a knife, he throws you up and shoots from the car again.
- Chris runs through the entire village and comes to a giant plant. You need to point a laser pointer at him for an airstrike. YOU CAN CALL AIR STRIKES AND KILL WEREWOLVES. I checked it myself, deaths don’t count.
- and finally the most difficult moment. After you destroy the plants with airstrikes, go down into the dungeon. There is a mutated boss with a mace that looks like Uryash. You CANNOT hit him with a laser pointer, even though this is suggested to you. I called in an airstrike and immediately got a death count of 2.
You need to beat him for a very long time, about 5 minutes, this is assuming that he is constantly getting hit with a knife. The most vulnerable spot is his left leg. When you make cuts there must be a splash of blood, then the blow is counted. I tried to hit my right leg, sparks were always coming out as if from hitting armor. It’s not realistic to stab you in the back with a knife, you can’t reach it.
- During the fight with Miranda, when you practically kill her, she throws Ethan to the ground, you lie and cannot move. At this moment, you can shoot from any weapon; her death does not count.

You can use weapons, because in some moments there is no other way! It's important not to kill anyone! In New Game+ mode there will be a special “Challenges” menu that will simplify the control process.

Do not shoot at enemies under any circumstances. Even if the shot is not fatal, the test is still considered failed. The exception is the final boss Miranda. I can’t say for sure about Heisenberg.

Quite a banal piece of advice that no one has mentioned yet, and that’s what I came across. To start the passage immediately with a reinforced knife, and not wait for the first appearance of the Duke, do not forget to make a save before the final bossfight. After passing, buy a knife in bonuses, load the save, buy a knife from the merchant and quickly kill the boss, then overwrite the save of the completed game. Then in NG+ you will immediately start with a reinforced knife.
