Exploring the haunting regions of Resident Evil Village leads players to several valuable optional rewards scattered throughout the map. One of the most intriguing side objectives involves securing the Beneviento Treasure buried near the entrance of House Beneviento. Successfully claiming this hidden prize requires careful timing, precise location knowledge, and defeating a formidable miniboss.
Prerequisites for Finding the Beneviento Treasure
Before you can claim this valuable prize, you must first complete the main storyline section inside House Beneviento by defeating Donna Beneviento. Once you return to the village area, the map updates to highlight several optional treasure locations worth investigating. However, attempting to approach the tomb immediately will reveal that a critical missing item is required to open the crypt.
To progress, players must head back toward the village cemetery where a previously locked mausoleum now sits open. Inside this small stone structure, you will discover the Broken Slab key item resting on the floor. Picking up this slab is the essential trigger needed to unlock the grave guarding the treasure.
Defeating the Axe Wielding Giant
Returning to the grave site near House Beneviento reveals a dangerous surprise waiting in the misty valley. A massive giant wielding a deadly iron axe spawns right in front of the tomb to block your path. Defeating this mini-boss requires staying mobile, using high-caliber weaponry, and taking advantage of the surrounding environment to dodge heavy strikes.
If your inventory is running low on ammunition or heavy explosive rounds, taking down this tough opponent can prove extremely challenging. Preparing your loadout in advance ensures you can deal heavy damage while avoiding fatal counterattacks. Once the creature falls, the area becomes safe to interact with the central tomb.
Unlocking the Grave and Claiming the Reward
With the area cleared, approach the large stone tomb surrounded by yellow flowers and interact with the missing slot. Insert the Broken Slab into the gravestone mechanism to restore the plaque and open the sealed vault. Inside, players receive Berengario's Chalice, an extremely valuable treasure item.
This valuable artifact can be brought directly to the Duke's shop and sold for a massive amount of Lei. Collecting such high-value treasures allows players to purchase essential weapon upgrades, expanded inventory space, and power-up recipes. Taking the extra time to complete this optional hunt provides a substantial boost to your overall survival capabilities.
