On this page of the Resident Evil 4 Remake game guide, you will find information on how to combine treasures. It's a mechanic that makes it easier to earn currency so you can buy more weapons and upgrades, or even healing items. We explain how to combine valuables to earn as much as possible be selling them.
Where is the treasure combining menu?
You will find the treasure combining menu by opening the inventory or map, and then going to the key items and treasures tab. There you will find all your gemstones and artifacts. Then simply select one of them and use the Inlay Gemstones option. You can also preview the best color combinations on the next screen using the button responsible for reloading weapons.
How does treasure combining work?
As you go through Resident Evil 4 Remake, you will often come across various treasures. These can be precious stones or different artifacts. All of them can be sold at the merchant. However, it is better to wait with selling them so you can make a much better profit.
Artifacts are divided into two types: modifiable and non-modifiable. You can sell the latter without a second thought, because their price will never change (these are, for example, decorated pipes, necklaces, etc.). However, you should wait a bit with selling the former. This is because you can decorate them with the aforementioned gemstones and thus significantly increase their value.
When decorating artifacts, you should be extra attention to color combinations of gemstones with appropriate shapes - you can place them however you like, but the best combinations significantly increase the value. The above screenshot shows them all. They can be, for example, three of the same color or two different colors in a set of four diamonds.
The Astute Appraiser bronze trophy involving selling an artifact worth at least 100,000 pesetas is associated with combining treasures. The first opportunity to earn this achievement will come in later chapters, where the items you find are much more valuable. The best way to do this is to use an object that can be decorated with five gemstones of five colors (for example Elegant Crown).
