Tackling Madhouse difficulty in Resident Evil 7 is a true test of survival horror skill, significantly altering item placements throughout the Baker plantation. Unlike easier playthroughs, Madhouse mode increases the total number of Antique Coins from 18 to 33, making thorough exploration mandatory for acquiring key upgrades. Staying connected with daily gaming news helps players keep track of essential guides and strategies for conquering high-difficulty gaming challenges.
Early House and Guest House Antique Coins
The first coin is accessible during the videotape sequence in the Guest House by opening a locked drawer in the kitchen. Returning to Ethan's reality allows you to collect this coin from the now unlocked drawer before encountering Mia. Additional coins in the Main House can be found inside the living room vase, the garage workbench, and hidden within the main hall's drawers.
Processing Area and Yard Discoveries
As you venture down into the subterranean Processing Area, coins are hidden near the dissecting room and behind corrugated metal sheets. Checking every corner of the boiler room and the hallway leading to the dissection room yields crucial currency for bird cage unlocks. Upon stepping into the yard, inspect the bushes near the trailer and the water pump area to secure extra coins before entering the Old House.
Old House and Greenhouse Coin Locations
Navigating Marguerite's domain requires careful observation while avoiding swarms of insects. Antique Coins on Madhouse are tucked away in the crawlspaces under the house, on the porch ledge, and inside the lanterns scattered across the structure. Defeating Marguerite in the Greenhouse opens up access to further coins hidden on the upper balcony and near the staircase collapse.
Testing Area and Wrecked Ship Coin Collection
Lucas Baker's trap-filled Testing Area contains several coins concealed within supply crates, tripwire corridors, and party room storage areas. Once the narrative shifts to the Wrecked Ship, players must search flooded corridors, elevator shafts, and control rooms to find the remaining collectibles. Collecting all 33 coins grants the Mad Pelicans achievement while ensuring Ethan has maximum health, reload speed, and firepower enhancements.
