What happens when you shoot all the goats in Resident Evil 8?

Answered by Jason Smith

When you shoot all the goats in Resident Evil 8, you will be rewarded with the Cynic Trophy/Achievement for destroying one goat and the Heretic Trophy/Achievement for destroying a total of 20 goats. This means that if you find and destroy all 20 goats scattered throughout the game, you will earn both trophies/achievements.

It’s worth noting that unlike previous Resident Evil games, finding and destroying all the goats in Resident Evil 8 does not unlock any special weapons or items. However, it does grant you a substantial reward of 16,000 CP (Challenge Points) that you can use in the Extra Content Shop after completing the game.

The goats in Resident Evil 8 are hidden in various locations throughout the game. They can be found in both the village and the castle areas, so it’s important to thoroughly explore each area to locate them all. Some goats are more easily visible, while others may be cleverly concealed, requiring keen observation and exploration to find.

As you progress through the game, you will come across goats hanging from trees, perched on ledges, or even tucked away in hidden corners. It’s essential to keep your eyes peeled and thoroughly search each area to ensure you don’t miss any.

Finding and destroying the goats can be a challenging task, but it adds an extra layer of exploration and completionist gameplay to Resident Evil 8. It encourages players to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny of the game’s world, rewarding their diligence with trophies/achievements and CP.

Each time I discovered a goat, it felt like a small victory, and it added a sense of accomplishment to my overall gaming experience. The satisfaction of destroying all the goats and earning the trophies/achievements was definitely worth the effort.
