One of the collectibles you’ll come across in several areas of Resident Evil 4 Remake is the Small Key. These items allow you to open locked drawers, but each key can only be used once. Since these drawers contain some of the treasures in the game, we’ll show you where to find every Small Key and locked drawer.

  • There are a total of 8 Small Keys (5 in the Village and 3 in the Castle).
  • Each key can open any locked drawer; it isn’t tied to a specific one.
  • Bear in mind that some locked drawers may be missable if you progress too far.
  • Remember that our step-by-step walkthrough includes the location of every key, as well as the best drawer to use each one on.
