This Resident Evil Requiem Points of No Return Guide details all the locations where you cannot return from a certain point. In Resident Evil Requiem, progressing through the story often locks you out of previous areas without warning. That means collectibles, upgrades, and important items can easily be missed if you move forward too quickly.
Points of No Return Guide – Resident Evil Requiem
The following are all the locations where you can not return to the previous areas.
Care Center – Main Area
Once you reach the Care Center after the helicopter cutscene, you will explore both the building and its courtyard. The key moment to watch out for here is inside the VIP Suite in the courtyard. There will be an elevator there. Activating the elevator will push you into a long, one-way sequence that leads all the way to Raccoon City, with no return.
Before triggering that, take your time to fully explore the Care Center and its surrounding areas. Double-check for any items, files, or upgrades because you won’t be able to come back afterward.
Care Center Basement
In the basement, your progress revolves around restoring power using three plugs. The no return happens when you take the elevator back up to the Care Center.
At that point, when you insert the plugs, enemies awaken, and you will be forced into a sequence where you carry Emily, limiting your movement and exploration. Because of this, it is much safer to grab everything in the basement before restoring power.
Courtyard Rooftop
When you reach the rooftop in the courtyard, jumping down to follow Grace will prevent you from coming back.
Before you drop down to chase Grace, make sure to destroy the Mr. Raccoon Memoriam statue visible in the distance using your rifle. This is the only missable collectible in this section, so missing it means you will have to reload a save.
East Raccoon City
In this section, the point of no return comes when you interact with the gate that needs to be blown open. Once you proceed, you won’t be able to return to earlier parts of the area.
It is a good idea to save your game beforehand and use the supply box at Central Camp to prepare.
Raccoon City Center
Later in the game, after defeating Mr. X in the Orphanage, you will come across a hole that you need to drop into. This is the final cutoff for this area. Once you jump down, there is no way to climb back up, so anything left behind in Raccoon City Center will be permanently missed. Make sure you’ve explored everything before going down.
How Missables Work
In this game, almost everything can be missed because there is no option to replay chapters or freely return to previous locations. However, there is some flexibility; collectibles and files are tracked across all your save files.
So, if you do miss something, you can reload an earlier save and collect it without losing your overall progress.
