Trophy and Achievement Roadmap: Difficulty, Mad Skillz and the Chapter-Bound Ones

Missable
None: Chapter Select lets you replay any chapter.
Difficulty
Cumulative: clearing every chapter on Professional also gives Veteran, Normal and Amateur.
Mad Skillz
Every levelled skill at its top level, 954,000 points in all.
Farming
The pressurised chamber in Chris's Chapter 5, or The Mercenaries.
Estimate
One trophy guide rates it 4/10 and about 60 hours.

The route

  1. Play the four campaigns once

    Clear Leon's, Chris's, Jake's and Ada's campaigns on any difficulty, picking up serpent emblems as you go. Clearing all four also puts the infinite ammo skills on sale.

  2. Collect the chapter-bound trophies

    Use Chapter Select for the trophies listed below that need a given chapter and a given character. Nothing is lost if you miss one the first time.

  3. Farm skill points

    One trophy guide says difficulty does not change how many points enemies drop, so farm on Amateur. Spend them towards Mad Skillz and the skills you want for Professional.

  4. Play every chapter on Professional

    Each difficulty trophy asks for every chapter of all four campaigns on that difficulty or higher, so one full Professional run covers all four difficulty trophies.

  5. Clean up

    Go back for anything still missing through Chapter Select. Every trophy can still be earned after the credits.

Difficulty trophies

  • The difficulty trophies stack: a higher one gives the lower ones too. Professional is the only one you need to aim for, but it covers every chapter of all four campaigns, Ada's included.
  • Chapters can be played in any order, one at a time, through Chapter Select.
  • In co-op, one trophy guide says both players have to finish the whole chapter for it to count.
  • For Professional, one trophy guide recommends Firearm Level 3, Defense Level 3 and an infinite shotgun skill. Prices are on the skills page.

Mad Skillz and farming

  • Mad Skillz asks for the twelve skills that have levels, each at its top level: 954,000 points in total.
  • The usual farming spot is the pressurised chamber with levers in Chris's Chapter 5, where Napad and Gnezdo come at you; it can be replayed through Chapter Select. The Mercenaries is the alternative.
  • One trophy guide says points dropped do not depend on difficulty, so Amateur is the quickest place to farm.

Two known problems

  • Hard Choice: if the scene where the target is brought down plays before you have done it, quit without saving and reload the checkpoint.
  • Finish What You Start sometimes does not pop. The fix two trophy guides give is the Lepotitsa at the start of Leon's Chapter 4.

Ranks

💡
One guide says each chapter ends with a rank from S down to E, and that the rank works the same on every difficulty.

Cross-checked

Cross-checked on 24 October 2026 against the PSNProfiles trophy guide, PowerPyx's trophy guide, the GameFAQs guides by Berserker and by AbsoluteSteve, and IGN's Resident Evil 6 wiki. The 4/10 rating, the 60-hour estimate, the Professional skill picks and the co-op rule come from PSNProfiles alone; the Finish What You Start fix from PowerPyx and PSNProfiles; the ranks from AbsoluteSteve alone. Not from a playthrough: nobody here has played it.
