Spinel is a new resource in Resident Evil 4 Remake that can be traded in at the Merchant, allowing you to get special items like treasure maps, gemstones, weapon attachments, yellow herbs, and more. 

In the original game, Spinel was just a normal treasure that could be found and sold, but Capcom specified its use this time, along with how you acquire it. 

There are two ways to get Spinel in Resident Evil 4 Remake. Firstly, you can complete requests for the Merchant. These are little blue pages you can find in some areas which give you side objectives, such as shooting Blue Medallions. Once you finish the objective, you can then hand in the contract at the Merchant and be rewarded with Spinel. 

The other way of acquiring Spinel is from destroying crates, though this is extremely rare;  we only found Spinel this way three times over the whole game.

Once you have some Spinel saved up, you can head to the Merchant to trade with it. 

Just interact with the Merchant, select the 'Trade' option at the bottom of the menu, and then spend your Spinel. It's worth noting that you cannot refund Spinel, so be sure about the trade you are making before confirming it.

We recommend using the Spinel to get treasure maps and yellow herbs as a priority, as the former makes getting treasure to sell much easier, and the latter lets you increase your maximum health. 

That's all for our breakdown of how to get Spinel in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and now you know the best ways to acquire it, and what it's used for.
