Story & Endings
Resident Evil Requiem's story trophies are a straight line from the Wrenwood outbreak to the ARK facility — every one is unmissable and pops automatically as you follow the critical path. They're flagged Secret in-game because they trace the plot, so expect light spoilers below. The only trophy that needs a deliberate choice is Hope and Requiem — pick Release Elpis at the finale, which is also the ending your speedrun and difficulty clears all funnel into.
