Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake not only modernized one of the most beloved entries in the series, but also sprinkled in a healthy dose of nostalgia and hidden surprises for fans who look closely. Whether you’re a veteran from the PS2 days or a newcomer to Leon’s mission in Spain, these Easter eggs are a must-see.
Let’s dive into the top 6 hidden Easter eggs in RE4 Remake that every fan should know about.
🧍♂️ 1. Merchant quotes from the original
The mysterious Merchant is back — and if you listen closely, he still drops lines from the original game like:
“What’re ya buyin’?”
“Not enough cash, stranger!”
These legendary quotes are now treated as nostalgic callbacks. In fact, if you ask him about it, he even says, “An old friend used to say that.” Pure fan service.
🎮 2. The itchy.tastey refrence
During your journey, one document contains the infamous phrase “Itchy. Tasty.” — a legendary line from the original Resident Evil that fans instantly recognize. It's a subtle nod to the franchise’s roots and one of the earliest zombie transformation notes in gaming history.
🎯 3. Salazar's portraits hide a surprise
In Ramon Salazar’s castle, you’ll find multiple portraits of him, but one in particular reacts oddly when you throw an egg at it. Hitting the portrait unlocks a secret achievement/trophy — an amusing little Easter egg that rewards curiosity (and poultry-based combat skills).
Tip: Keep a chicken egg in your inventory — just in case!
🐓 4.Golden egg : Secret Side quest
Speaking of eggs, the remake introduces a side quest that asks you to deliver a Golden Egg to the Merchant. It's easy to miss if you’re not thorough, and it's a cool way of rewarding exploration and farming — literally.
🧟 5. RE2 Remake connection
During certain cutscenes, Leon reflects on the Raccoon City outbreak, with visual and vocal references to Resident Evil 2 Remake. The trauma, the tone, and even subtle dialogue shifts tie RE4 directly into the larger RE timeline, giving returning fans a deeper emotional payoff.
📦 6. Classic Atteche Case Charm cameo
By equipping Attache Case charms, players can gain passive bonuses — but look closely: several of these charms are based on classic enemies and icons from earlier Resident Evil games, including Mr. Raccoon and even Dr. Salvador’s chainsaw!
It’s Capcom’s way of mixing gameplay perks with nostalgic flair.
💭 Conclusion
Resident Evil 4 Remake doesn’t just retell a classic — it celebrates the franchise’s entire legacy. From hidden documents and throwback lines to clever item use and visual Easter eggs, Capcom shows love to its loyal fans without alienating new players.
These secrets remind us why RE4 is more than just horror — it’s gaming history, remade the right way.
