Completing Merchant Requests in Resident Evil 4 provides players with valuable Spinels that can be exchanged for exclusive upgrades and rare items. Among the earliest side objectives encountered is the task to locate and destroy five hidden blue medallions scattered across the Farm area. Tracking down every target allows players to secure early-game rewards while mastering environmental awareness.
Understanding the Farm Blue Medallion Request
The quest begins in Chapter 1 after arriving at the rural Farm compound, where a blue request note hangs on a wall near the wooden gate. Interacting with the note officially registers the side quest and highlights general search zones on your map. Destroying all five targets satisfies the Merchant's requirements and unlocks extra purchasing power early in your survival journey.
Each medallion hangs in a specific spot that tests your sightlines and positioning. Using a precise handgun shot or knife attack ensures you conserve precious ammunition while clearing the area efficiently.
Finding the First Three Medallions in the Farm
The first blue medallion is located on the northern corner of the small shack containing the typewriter save point. Walking past the building and looking up under the roof overhang reveals the target hanging neatly in sight. Shooting this target immediately gives you progress toward completing the Merchant's request.
To spot the second medallion, head inside the central wooden barn where livestock reside. Look through the wooden beams or peek in through the southwestern window frame to spot the medallion tucked away safely. The third medallion hangs from an upper-floor window frame on the large barn situated toward the northeastern area.
Locating the Final Two Medallions
The fourth medallion is hidden inside the small storage shed located just west of the pig pen area. Look straight up between the interior ceiling beams to locate the blue disk hanging overhead. Line up your crosshairs carefully to destroy it without wasting multiple handgun rounds.
The fifth and final medallion requires players to explore the northeastern corner of the Farm near the locked treasure chest. Standing nearby and looking around the wooden structures reveals the final target resting behind the chest area. Destroying this last medallion completes the challenge and allows you to claim your Spinel reward from the Merchant.
Tips for Efficient Medallion Hunting
Before searching for medallions, clear out the local Ganado enemies patrolling the Farm to avoid unexpected attacks. Taking down hostiles first gives you total freedom to inspect rafters, windows, and high balconies without taking unnecessary damage.
Always listen closely for the subtle wooden creaking sound that blue medallions emit when swaying in the wind. Taking full advantage of your map indicators and line-of-sight angles makes finding these collectibles simple and rewarding.
