The Best Combinations for Treasures in RE4 Remake

Considering the bonus, the best treasure combinations in the RE4 remake are Five Colors, Quintet, and Duo Trio.

With the Five Color combo, the goal is to decorate a treasure with five gems of different colors. With Quintet, the goal is to combine five same-colored gemstones. And with Duo & Trio, the aim should be to have a same-colored pair and a same-colored triad of gems on one treasure.

With that being said, here are the most expensive treasure combinations in the RE4 remake.

#1. Elegant Crown (Duo & Trio)

The most lucrative combination for the Elegant Crown is a Duo & Trio with two yellow gems and three red beryls. The combo would increase the crown’s price to 108,000 Ptas., making it the most expensive item in the game.

Quintet is also a good combination for the Elegant Crown. With five gems of different colors, its value goes up to 100,000.

#2. Ornate Necklace (Quartet)

Items: Ornate Necklace, two Red Beryls, two Red Gems
Sales Price: 59,500 Ptas

To sell the Ornate Necklace for the highest price, the player should give it a Quartet combination. An all-red gemstone decoration increases this treasure’s cost to 59,500, making it one of the most high-priced treasures ever.

#3. Chalice of Atonement (Trio)

#4. Elegant Mask (Trio)

#5. Butterfly Lamp (Trio)

Items: Butterfly Lamp, three Blue Gems
Sales Price: 25,200 Ptas

Although an average treasure, the Butterfly Lamp with three blue gems is worth 25,200 Ptas. Of course, three yellow stones would up its price even further, but the player is advised to keep those for more precious collectibles like the Elegant Crown.

#6. Golden Lynx (Trio)

Items: Golden Lynx, two Red Gems, one Red Beryl
Sales Price: 40,000 Ptas

Acquiring the Golden Lynx is no easy feat. However, if you manage to obtain one, enhance its value by adorning it with two Red Gems and one Red Beryl. This Trio gem combination is the optimal choice, as the statue features two round and one square-shaped empty slot. Employing the same-color strategy, you can elevate the overall price of this item to 40,000 Pesetas.

Another viable combination for this treasure involves a Three-Color approach, utilizing a yellow diamond, a sapphire, and an emerald. However, the increase in value closely resembles that of the Trio combination. Therefore, the decision ultimately boils down to the gems available in your inventory.

#7. Flagon (Duo)

Items: Flagon, two Yellow Gems
Sales Price: 21,600 Ptas

The optimal gemstone combination for a Flagon is the Duo. Adorning this item with two same-colored gems yields the highest bonus rate, x1.2. With the Flagon’s base price set at 4,000 Pesetas, the maximum selling price you can achieve is 21,600 Pesetas, assuming you utilize two Yellow Diamonds.

Don’t waste your rare gemstones on Flagon. Since the treasure’s base price is low, it is best to enhance it with common gems like rubies.

#8. Splendid Bangle (Dou)

Items: Splendid Bangle, two Red Beryls
Sales Price: 21,600 Ptas

Combining two Red Beryl gems with a Splendid Bangle boosts its value by 21,600 Pesetas, elevating its worth to 25,600 from the base price of 4,000. While this increment may seem modest, it’s worth noting that multiple Splendid Bangles are scattered throughout the game. Thus, this process can be viewed as a recurring and regenerative profit resource.

If you’re planning on saving your rare Beryl, opt for a two-color basic combination instead. With this strategy, you will boost the overall value of the Bangle by a factor of 1.2, resulting in a commendable profit margin. This approach proves particularly advantageous early in your adventure when your treasure-hunting opportunities are restricted.

Best Way to Invest Your Gemstones in Treasures

In RE4 Remake’s campaign, the availability of gemstones is restricted, but certain types have a higher drop rate. Red Gems, for instance, are more abundant and easier to come by. Therefore, if you aim to enhance the value of common loot, embellishing it with Red Gems is advisable. However, it’s wise to retain rare gemstones like Yellow Diamonds, as they are guaranteed to significantly increase the value of end-game treasures.

How to Find the Best Combination for Treasures

To come up with the best combinations, calculate the final price beforehand or try different patterns in the pause menu. The formula for treasure combinations is simple: Sum the gemstones’ price, multiply it by the gemstone bonus rate, and add the sum to the item’s base price.
