What to do with Small Keys in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

As you explore the Resident Evil 4 Remake’s dangerous map, there are several resources you can find as you progress through the game. Small keys are one of the most valuable resources you can expect. These keys aren’t overly critical in most game situations, but they do serve a helpful purpose of unlocking certain items, which usually means you can earn more cash on your playthrough. This guide describes how to use small buttons and what they do in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Here’s how you can use Small Keys in Resident Evil 4 Remake

The Small Keys’ sole purpose is to provide the only way to open any locked drawer you find during your playthrough. These locked drawers usually contain treasures that you can add to your collection and then bring back to The Merchant, who will be willing to buy them for a hefty price. These treasures vary in value. Regardless of what treasure you find in the locked drawer, making sure you can purchase valuable items from The Merchant will be extremely helpful the more you play the game.

You can find these small keys hidden throughout the game. They’re tricky to find, but it’s worth holding onto your inventory until you find another locked drawer. Then all you have to do is approach the drawer, choose the small key you want to use and then acquire the contents inside. A limited number of these small keys are scattered across the map, so we recommend you make the effort to explore the out of the way paths to try and find them.

If you pass a small key but don’t pick it up, it should appear on your map as an icon. You can then return to that location to collect it. Exploring the map thoroughly and checking your progress is a good way to make sure you don’t miss critical elements like this one while playing Resident Evil 4 Remake.
