Resident Evil Village goat locations and map

If you want to find every Resident Evil Village goat location then there are 20 to get. Finding all of them will net you a Resident Evil Village trophy or achievement, so it's up to you if you want to track them all down for that. There's no other reward than the satisfaction of doing it. If you are going after them then it's important to know that some Resident Evil Village goat locations cannot be accessed again once you leave the area. If you miss them then you'll have to back track a save or start over.

This guides will; be helpful then because a few goats are tricky to find without knowing about them in advance and at least one is still hard to find even when you know exactly where to look. It makes hunting all the Resident Evil Village goats a challenge, but also a pain if you realise you've messed up. To help make sure theat doesn't happen, we got every Resident Evil Village goat location listed below. 

Beware that the final goat contains a bit of a spoiler which we've marked up with a warning. So don't read the details on that one until the end stages of the game when a fairly unmissable event has happened

You'll find the majority of Resident Evil Village goats scattered throughout the main village area, which we'll cover here. However, because of the way the story leads you through the various areas of the game you won't be able to find all of these Resident Evil goats, and will detour through various other locations as you follow the story. We'll mention the points at which you might want to switch to one of the other maps we have here. 

Resident Evil Village Goat 1

The first Resident Evil Village goat is inside the small shrine at the Maiden of War square when you first enter the main village area. It's pretty much the intro to the whole 'goat thing'.

The second Resident Evil Vilage Goat is on top of the church near the Shrine where you find the first on.

After passing through the Fallow Plot to reach Luiza’s house (and dealing with the Lycans along the way) you will find a goat on the left most side of the wall when you reach the gate. 

At this point the story will take you to Castle Dimitrescu where you can find two goats separately in the map further below. When you've completed that section you'll have the Iron Insignia Key and can continue to find the next goat on this map.

When you've escaped Castle Dimitrescu you'll go through a passage that will eventually lead to the the Lone Road (east side of the village). You'll find a staircase leading down - walk all the way down and around until you see a small room; the goat is inside.

Once you've escaped Castle Dimitrescu you'll have the Iron Insignia Key which you can use to enter the Graveyard behind the church. Walk to the right once inside and the goat is there on the ground.

Go to Luthier’s house behind the gate with the note that says “locked due to the missing home owner”. The goat is on the lower roof right in front of you, near a smashable crate. In case you’re wondering: you don’t need the key to Luthier’s house for this, you can just break or shoot the padlock on the gate.

When crossing the Suspension Bridge to reach Beneviento’s House, look to the other bridge on your left to see this Resident Evil Village goat across the way.

You'll find this goat around the side of the windmill where the crank breaks. It's tucked in between some wood and not well hidden, but it does blend in quite well if you're not paying attention.

This Resident Evil village goat is quite devious as it's distant and hard to spot, and during a tense section where you can die quite a bit. When you're using the switches to raise platforms and evade Moreau, you'll be able to see it in the water on a tall pole. When you reach the final switch you need to progress look out across the water behind to you to spot it.

After draining Moreau’s Reservoir, go back to the place where you first found the boat. You can now walk underneath the damaged windmill  and if you look to your left on the other side you'll see a Resident Evil Village goat ready to be collected.

When you've (hopefully) survived the brush with the Ventilation Duct in Heisenberg's Factory, walk towards the far end of the Grinder Shaft. The goat is right on the edge.

When you're close to to leaving the factory you'll be heading towards the cargo bay. In the room immediately before that area head to the wall directly opposite the door you come in through and crouch down to find a ventilation shaft you can go through. The Resident Evil Village goat will be in the small room at the end. 

Goat 3

The third and final Resident Evil Village goat in Heisenberg's Factory is one of the hardest ones to get in the game. Use the lift to travel between B1 and B3 and face the left opening from looking at the Duke. You'll see the goat go past on a girder for less than a second. Grab your shotgun, perfect your timing, and blast it as it flashes past. 

Spoiler warning

Final goat

You'll find this goat while playing as Chris Redfield. After the cutscene where he throws some explosives on the giant red mutamycete monster turn around and you'll see this area behind you. The final goat is hidden way at the back.
