How to find the elusive goats of Resident Evil Village
Hunting high and low for the Resident Evil 8 Goats of Warding.
Keen to find all the Resident Evil Village goats? You can find these wooden ornaments throughout the game, so if you want to avoid spoilers, don't scroll too far down this page. Some of the Goats of Warding can be very difficult to spot, so you'll need razor sharp vision to find them.
There are twenty goats to find in total, and to be honest, I'm still missing a few, so I'll update this guide as I discover more. Sadly you don't seem to get any reward despite an achievement and a sense of pride. I've listed the goats in the order in which I found them, so this should make them easier for you to find. Here are all the Resident Evil Village Goats of Warding I've found so far.
