Quick Links:
Destroy the Blue Medallions 3 in Resident Evil 4 Remake requires Leon to find and destroy six blue medallions around the Castle Gate during Chapter 7.
The targets are scattered across the ruined battlements, cannon platform and nearby towers. Some are visible from the cannon, while others require Leon to look beneath platforms or beyond the castle walls.
Destroy all six medallions and report back to the Merchant to claim 5 Spinels. You can shoot the targets before collecting the Blue Request Note, although reading it reveals their locations on the map.
Where to Find the Destroy the Blue Medallions 3 Request Note
The Blue Request Note is attached to the wall beside the main Castle entrance, immediately after the cannon sequence in Chapter 7.
First, survive the catapult assault, raise the cannon by releasing its counterweight and use it to destroy the large gate blocking Leon’s path.
After passing through the destroyed gate, look to the right of the entrance doors to find the note.
The in-game request confirms the following:
Objective: Destroy all six blue medallions.
Area: Castle Gate.
Reward: 5 Spinels.
Reading the note adds markers to the map, making it easier to track the targets you have not destroyed.
I recommend clearing the catapults and nearby Zealots before hunting the medallions. With the assault finished, Leon can move between the towers and take more accurate shots without constant interruptions.
This follows the Quarry and Fish Farm Blue Medallions request from Chapter 3, but the six Castle Gate targets form a separate Merchant Request.
All Six Castle Gate Blue Medallion Locations
Medallion #1 – North Ruins Window
The first medallion hangs inside a small window in the ruined stonework to the north of the Castle Gate.
From the raised cannon platform, face north towards the damaged castle wall. Look for the blue target hanging within the window opening.
You can shoot it from the platform or move closer along the connecting walkway if you are struggling to line up the shot.
Medallion #2 – Next to the Cannon
Return to the raised cannon platform marked by the yellow banner. Look beneath the sheltered arch beside the cannon platform to find the second emblem. It’s low enough to shoot cleanly without repositioning the cannon.
Medallion #3 – Above the Elegant Bangle Chest
The third medallion is suspended high among the damaged stonework and support beams overlooking the Castle Gate.
The third medallion hangs above the ruined walkway and is easier to hit from a clear vantage point.
Look upwards towards the damaged wall beyond the cannon platform. The blue target can be difficult to distinguish against the dark stone.
A rifle provides a more precise shot from a distance. Alternatively, the cannon can destroy some of the distant medallions visible from its platform, including those across the northern ruins.
Medallion #4 – Hanging Among Trees
This one takes sharp eyes! From the southern cannon tower bridge, peer down left toward the forest. Climb up the ladder and Medallion 4 barely glints amongst the leaves of a faraway tree. Move further along the bridge for an optimal angle.
Medallion #5 – Northwestern Tower
The fifth medallion is mounted on the stone wall near the Elegant Bangle treasure chest, inside the northwestern section of the Castle Gate.
Medallion 5 is attached to the stone wall and can be destroyed with Leon’s knife.
Enter the small ruined area near the treasure chest and look along the wall to the left.
Unlike the distant medallions, this target is within easy reach.
Use the knife to destroy it and save ammunition. There is no reason to spend a bullet on a medallion Leon can reach directly.
Medallion #6 – Cannon Tower Mechanism
Return to the cannon tower interior where Leon originally activated the counterweight. The final medallion rotates next to the moving gears of the cannon mechanism. Circle the device to line up a clean shot.
IMPORTANT: This request should be completed before you move deeper into the Castle Gate and follow the route towards the Grand Hall. Some medallions become unreachable once the area transitions, so destroy all six before pushing forward through the battlements.
Finishing the request grants five Spinels from the Merchant. I always finish this one as soon as I reach the Castle Gate. It only takes a few minutes and the Spinels help smooth out the early Castle upgrades, especially if you rely on the Red9 handgun or the Riot Gun.
