To conquer Insanity Difficulty in Resident Evil Requiem, you must leverage the game’s internal economy to unlock the Infinite Ammo and Infinite RPG before starting your run. By completing a Casual difficulty speedrun in under four hours, you can secure the 70,000 CP (Challenge Points) needed to purchase these game-breaking rewards and the Infinite Ribbon, which removes all save restrictions.
Once you have these unlocks, Insanity Difficulty becomes a “power trip” where Leon can one-shot most bosses with the RPG and Grace can maintain a safe distance with the high-powered Infinite Requiem Revolver. Save frequently at every typewriter to avoid progress loss from the difficulty’s aggressive one-hit traps and environmental hazards.
Platinum Trophy Roadmap
- Phase 1 (Casual): Clear the game in under 4 hours to unlock the Infinite Ribbon.
- Phase 2 (CP Farming): Combine the “No Healing” and “No Blood Collector” challenges to earn 70,000 CP.
- Phase 3 (Insanity): Use the Infinite RPG and Infinite Ammo to breeze through the final challenge.
Pro-Tip: Buy the Koketsu (Grace) knife early for 5,000 CP to save ammo during your initial resource-gathering runs.
RE Requiem: Insanity Difficulty Made Easy
Phase 1: The Reconnaissance Run (Any Difficulty)
Before attempting speedruns or difficulty skips, you must build a foundational knowledge of the game.
- Focus: Memorize map layouts, puzzle solutions, and enemy spawn triggers.
- Goal: Minimize “analysis paralysis” in later runs where every second counts.
Phase 2: The Resource Efficiency Run (Casual Difficulty)
This is your most important strategic step. By combining the No Healing and No Blood Collector challenges on Casual, you maximize your CP (Challenge Points) yield.
- Essential Purchase: Before starting, navigate to
Bonuses -> Special Contentand buy Koketsu (Grace) for 5,000 CP. - The Strategy: Use this unbreakable knife to conserve all resources. On Casual difficulty, your health auto-regenerates to a “Fine/Caution” threshold, making healing items unnecessary.
- Target Benchmark: You need a minimum of 70,000 CP by the end of this run.
- The Speed Goal: Finish in under 4 hours to unlock the Infinite Ribbon, which removes save restrictions on Insanity.
⚠️ Critical CP Management
Do not spend CP on cosmetic items or mid-tier weapons. You must prioritize the following for your Insanity run:
- Infinite Ammo Unlock: (50,000 CP)
- Infinite RPG (Leon Only): (50,000 CP) – If funds allow.
Phase 3: The Insanity “Power Trip” (Insanity Difficulty)
With your unlocks secured, the highest difficulty setting becomes a formality.
| Character | Recommended Loadout | Strategy |
| Leon | Infinite RPG | One-shots almost every enemy and boss in the game. Available immediately via Supply Boxes. |
| Grace | Infinite Requiem Revolver | Provides high stopping power and infinite range to keep enemies at bay. |
| Global | Infinite Ribbon | Save at every typewriter to mitigate progress loss from “one-hit” traps or environmental hazards. |
