Resident Evil 4 Remake Best Treasure Combinations

The best treasure combinations in Resident Evil 4 Remake fill the Elegant Crown with either five different colors (Sapphire, Yellow Diamond, Emerald, Alexandrite and Red Beryl) for exactly 100,000 pesetas, or a Duo and Trio of three Red Beryls and two Yellow Diamonds, which works out to 108,000. For every other treasure, the rule is the same: match colors to trigger the biggest multiplier, and lean on Red Beryl, the most valuable gem. Below are the slot layouts, gem values, multipliers and the math behind each recommendation.

We built this from Game8's treasure combination, gemstone and Elegant Crown pages, Gamer Guides' treasure combination list, Gameluster's Astute Appraiser guide and PowerPyx's selling advice, all checked in November 2026.

How Treasure Combinations Work

Some treasures come with empty sockets. You inlay gemstones from your case, and the finished piece sells for more than the parts would separately. Two things set the final price: the treasure's base value plus the value of each gem, and a bonus multiplier based on how the gem colors relate to each other.

Gems come in two cuts that only fit matching sockets. According to Game8's gem list, the round cuts are Ruby (red, 3,000), Sapphire (blue, 4,000) and Yellow Diamond (yellow, 7,000). The rectangular cuts are Emerald (green, 5,000), Alexandrite (violet, 6,000) and Red Beryl (rose red, 9,000). That layout hides a useful fact: red is the only color available in both cuts, so a treasure with mixed sockets can only reach a same color bonus with Rubies and Red Beryls together.

Game8's multiplier list runs from small to large:

• Two Colors (two different gems): x1.1
• Duo (two of the same color): x1.2
• Three Colors: x1.3
• Trio (three of the same color): x1.4
• Two Duos: x1.5
• Four Colors: x1.6
• Quartet: x1.7
• Duo and Trio: x1.8
• Quintet (five of one color): x1.9
• Five Colors: x2.0

The payouts that guides report line up with simple arithmetic: add the base value and the gem values, then apply the multiplier. That is the method we use for every example below. The Merchant's sell screen shows the actual figure before you confirm, so check it there.

Every Combinable Treasure and Its Sockets

Game8 lists ten treasures that accept gems. Their socket layouts decide which bonuses are even possible, so start here before you spend Spinels on a gem.

Combinable treasures in RE4 Remake (Game8, November 2026)

Treasure	Round sockets	Rectangular sockets	Base price (ptas)
Elegant Crown	2	3	19,000
Golden Lynx	2	1	15,000
Ornate Necklace	2	2	11,000
Extravagant Clock	1	1	9,000
Chalice of Atonement	0	3	7,000
Butterfly Lamp	3	0	6,000
Elegant Mask	3	0	5,000
Elegant Bangle	2	0	5,000
Flagon	2	0	4,000
Splendid Bangle	0	2	4,000

Only the Elegant Crown has five sockets, which is why it is the only treasure that can reach the top two multipliers. Everything else tops out at Four Colors, Quartet or Two Duos (the Necklace), a Trio (the three socket pieces) or a Duo (the two socket pieces).

The Elegant Crown: The 100,000 Peseta Treasure

Game8 tracks three Elegant Crowns: one near a ladder at the end of an area deep in the Castle, one in the Audience Chamber reached by gondola from the Merchant's room, and one on the Island in a chest behind a gate guarded by a rocket launcher enemy. Gameluster places them in Chapters 9, 10 and 13. Because each crown is a separate item, you can build three of them in one run if you have the gems.

Here is how the three standout layouts compare, using Game8's values:

• Five Colors (x2.0): Sapphire and Yellow Diamond in the round sockets, Emerald, Alexandrite and Red Beryl in the rectangular ones. 19,000 + 31,000 in gems = 50,000, doubled to 100,000. Because red appears in both cuts, this is the only five color layout that fits the crown.
• Duo and Trio (x1.8): three Red Beryls plus two Yellow Diamonds. 19,000 + 27,000 + 14,000 = 60,000, times 1.8 = 108,000. Gameluster reports the same 108,000 figure.
• Quintet (x1.9): three Red Beryls plus two Rubies. 19,000 + 27,000 + 6,000 = 52,000, times 1.9 = 98,800 by this arithmetic. Game8 groups the Quintet with the layouts that clear 100,000, which does not match the math, so confirm the Merchant's quote before relying on it for the trophy.

Selling any single treasure for at least 100,000 pesetas unlocks the Astute Appraiser trophy and challenge, and Game8 notes the Elegant Crown is the only treasure that can reach that figure. The most dependable choice for that specific goal is the Five Colors crown, which needs just one of each gem. If you only care about money, the Duo and Trio crown pays more, but it eats three Red Beryls, the rarest and most valuable gem.

Best Layouts for the Smaller Treasures

The same arithmetic tells you how to fill everything else. These are worked examples from Game8's values; the in game quote is the final word.

• Ornate Necklace (2 round, 2 rectangular, 11,000): Two Duos with two Yellow Diamonds and two Red Beryls gives (11,000 + 14,000 + 18,000) x 1.5 = 64,500. Gamer Guides recommends the all red Quartet (two Rubies, two Red Beryls) instead, but by the same arithmetic that comes to (11,000 + 6,000 + 18,000) x 1.7 = 59,500, so the guides disagree here. Compare both quotes at the Merchant if you hold the gems.
• Chalice of Atonement (3 rectangular, 7,000): three Red Beryls make a Trio worth (7,000 + 27,000) x 1.4 = 47,600, well above the 35,100 a three color set produces.
• Butterfly Lamp and Elegant Mask (3 round): three Yellow Diamonds form a Trio. On the Lamp that is (6,000 + 21,000) x 1.4 = 37,800.
• Golden Lynx (2 round, 1 rectangular, 15,000): two Rubies with a Red Beryl make an all red Trio, the only way to get x1.4 on this piece.
• Two socket pieces: the Flagon, Elegant Bangle and Splendid Bangle can only reach a Duo, so give them your matching leftovers rather than your best gems.

The pattern is clear: Yellow Diamonds are the best round gem and Red Beryls the best rectangular gem, so send them to the treasures with the highest base value first, starting with the crowns.

Where the Gems Come From

You find most gems in chests, on enemies and in hanging censers or containers you shoot down. Game8's gem map, for example, lists a Yellow Diamond from El Gigante in the Village, an Emerald from the Chainsaw Man on the way to the Village Chief's Manor, and a Red Beryl in a container in the Castle depths. A few more routes are worth knowing:

• Spinel trades. The Merchant trades a Yellow Diamond for 3 Spinels from Chapter 2, a Red Beryl for 4 Spinels from Chapter 4, an Elegant Mask for 2 Spinels from Chapter 4 and a Velvet Blue for 1 Spinel from Chapter 13. Game8 rates treasures as a low priority use of Spinels compared with Exclusive Upgrade Tickets, so buy these only once your upgrades are covered.
• Treasure maps. One map per region (1 Spinel for the Village, 3 for the Castle, 5 for the Island) marks treasure locations. Maps do not carry into New Game Plus and must be bought again.
• Treasure Map: Expansion. This paid add-on, also included in the Switch 2 Gold Edition, adds hidden treasures, often in golden containers, including extra gems such as a Red Beryl above the Merchant at the start of Chapter 6.
• Jewel Thief request (Chapter 12). Shoot the crow's nest on a vine covered balcony near the Courtyard Merchant to drop a Scratched Emerald, then sell it for 3 Spinels.

Selling Rules That Protect Your Pesetas

PowerPyx's main money advice is simple: do not sell gemstones directly to the Merchant. Inlaid in a treasure, the same gem earns far more over a run. Game8 adds a few rules worth keeping:

1. Sell treasures marked as for selling only, such as Velvet Blue and Pearl Bangles, right away. They have no other use.
2. Hold incomplete treasures like the Elegant Mask until you have the gems to fill them.
3. Sell spent key items, which still fetch some pesetas.
4. Sell surplus ammo for weapons you no longer use when you are just short of an upgrade.

A practical habit: plan the layout before you inlay anything into a crown, necklace or chalice, and decide which bonus you are aiming for first. Until then, simply hold on to unused gems and empty treasures, and only fill the small two socket pieces as you go, since they can never do better than a Duo anyway. The few thousand pesetas you give up by waiting are nothing next to the gap between a mismatched crown and a 100,000 peseta one.

Timing matters too. Treasures in your case carry into New Game Plus, but treasure collection status does not, so a second run lets you collect and sell everything again. That is the usual route to the 2,000,000 pesetas the Infinite Rocket Launcher costs, covered in our New Game Plus guide. Put the money to work on the guns ranked in our best weapons breakdown, and remember that the most valuable single purchase in the game is often an exclusive upgrade, which costs 60,000 to 100,000 pesetas on most weapons. Several treasures sit near puzzle rooms, so our puzzle solutions guide pairs well with a treasure hunt.

If You Would Rather Not Farm It

Hunting every gem and crown is the slow way to fund upgrades. If you would rather skip the treasure route entirely, the store's RE4 Remake modded save sets main game Ptas to 999,999,999, along with Spinel and 10,000,000 Completion Points. The product page notes that picking up Spinel resets that count to 9,999.

It is a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 save only, for the Remake only, and it needs active PlayStation Plus on the same account. The game is not included. Everything else for the game is on the Resident Evil 4 Remake hub.
