PS4
This platinum works as several runs linked through completed-save progression. Jill and Chris need different rescues and endings, while special modes change inventory and enemy rules. Learn the mansion and protect character scenes first, then dedicate specific runs to time, knife-only and no saving. Combining every restriction from the beginning is unnecessary and can turn a small mistake into another full campaign.
Resident Evil HD Remaster PS4 roadmap covering Jill/Chris campaigns and special modes; not the RE 2 remake.
- Required difficulty: Hard and special modes required; prepare weapon-unlocking speedruns on Normal or higher.
- Missable trophies: Character rescues, endings and dedicated-run conditions.
- Online: No multiplayer required.
Plan each protagonist’s two outcomes
For Jill and Chris, prepare companion-rescue and leave-them-behind outcomes according to the trophy descriptions. Record Barry, Rebecca and imprisoned-character decisions beforehand. An ending with one protagonist does not automatically cover the other; an isolated rescue scene is not equivalent to the ending where every required companion survives.
- Record the protagonist and companions required by each ending.
Continue from completed data for unlocks
Retain completed data and use its intended continuation route for later runs. Costumes and weapons involve checks spanning completions; starting unrelated files each time makes unlocks harder to follow. Keep a pre-finale copy and inspect available modes or rewards after the credits.
- Retain completed data before preparing another route.
Treat Real Survival as different logistics
Real Survival item boxes do not share contents and auto-aim does not assist you. Before storing an item, consider where the next objective will need it. A familiar normal-campaign shortcut can become wasted travel when the required tool remains in another box. Plan retrieval order rather than merely listing keys.
- Record the box holding each needed item.
Disable normal-run habits for knife-only
CQC FTW also excludes the lighter, defensive items and head stomps. Check automatic defensive-item use before the attempt and do not treat an emergency reaction as harmless. If combining no saving, know the route already; another restriction should reduce repeated work rather than prevent learning necessary situations.
- Avoid the lighter, defensive items and stomps during knife-only.
Separate the speedrun from full-map exploration
For timed weapon unlocks, prepare a Normal-or-higher run and review the route first. Every Nook and Cranny instead needs attention to rooms and map completion. These activities pull in different directions; do not search every item while still learning a time-focused route.
- Assign separate runs to timing and full map review.

Frequently asked questions
Can I combine every restriction in one run?
Many restrictions can combine, but characters, endings and modes require multiple routes. Choose familiar combinations rather than adding unnecessary risk.
Does Real Survival use shared item boxes?
No. Record stored-item locations and plan retrieval around the next objective.
Are defensive items allowed for knife-only?
No. The description excludes them alongside the lighter and head stomps; inspect automatic reactions too.
