Resident Evil 4 - Locked Drawers And Small Keys Guide

Resident Evil 4 has many valuable items that you can sell to earn pesetas. While some are out in the open, others will require a bit more work, such as Locked Drawers. You might see one early on in the Village Square, which you won't be open until you find a Small Key. Here's our Resident Evil 4 Locked Drawers and Small Keys guide to help you find them in the campaign. Likewise, you can learn more in our Treasures and Gemstones hub.

Resident Evil 4 Locked Drawers and Small Keys guide

As mentioned above, the Resident Evil 4 Locked Drawers each require a Small Key so they can be opened (each key will be discarded upon a single use). Moreover, as there are times when you'll only obtain a key later in your run, you might need to backtrack to see if you missed out on a reward.

Village:

• Village Square - Inside one of the houses to the left (seen on the featured image); contains a Vintage Compass.
• Factory - Inside the office where you can pick up your gear; contains an Elegant Mask.
• Quarry/Fish Farm - Just past the Quarry, you'll reach a Merchant hub that has the first Shooting Gallery. Climb down the ladder to the dockyard and you'll spot this one. It contains a Brass Pocket Watch.
