Finding every hidden collectible in Capcom's survival horror masterpiece requires a keen eye and thorough exploration. The Goats of Warding are small wooden bobbleheads scattered across the game's atmospheric environments. Tracking down all twenty of these elusive totems rewards players with the coveted Heretic achievement and valuable bonus points.

Hidden Totems within the Village Boundaries

The main hub area contains several bobbleheads hidden in plain sight from the very beginning of the journey. One of the first figures sits inside a small illuminated shrine near the central maiden statue. Players should listen closely for a distinct, rhythmic ticking sound that reveals a goat's proximity.

As you explore further toward the church grounds, check the snow-covered rooftops and isolated perches. Another collectible rests on the outer stone wall surrounding the graveyard area. Missing these early items forces players to return later when backtracking becomes possible.

Secrets of Castle Dimitrescu and the Vineyards

The opulent corridors of the vampire matriarch's fortress hide their own collection of wooden carvings. Check the dark corners of the tasting room and the humid basement areas where enemies patrol. One particularly tricky figurine sits hidden behind the elaborate architecture of the attic rafters.

Before entering the castle proper, players must navigate the foggy vineyard paths just outside the gates. Search the rows of vines carefully to locate a totem resting on a wooden fence post. Remember that once you complete this major section, access to these specific castle areas becomes permanently blocked.

Subterranean Dangers in Moreau's Reservoir

The flooded ruins controlled by the mutated Salvatore Moreau offer highly hazardous terrain for collectible hunters. As Ethan Winters navigates the rickety wooden walkways, he must monitor both the giant monster and the scenery. One bobblehead is tucked away near the primary control pump station under a broken staircase.

After draining the massive lake, a completely new area opens up for immediate exploration. Walk along the muddy basin floor to find a hidden alcove containing another wooden goat. Keep weapons ready, as these damp environments remain infested with aggressive mutated creatures.

The Industrial Mazes of Heisenberg's Factory

The final gauntlet of the campaign introduces a sprawling, multi-level facility packed with mechanical monstrosities. Locating the remaining collectibles requires navigating complex ventilation shafts and heavy elevator systems. One figurine rests on the metal girders near the massive grinding blades in the upper levels.

Another cleverly concealed totem can be found by inspecting the cargo elevator walls during transit. Players need to shoot the bobblehead quickly as the lift moves between the subterranean floors. Finding this final set ensures complete fulfillment of the ultimate tracking challenge.
