You can technically skip all Blood Specimens in Resident Evil Requiem, but collecting them all will give Grace access to powerful injectors, stronger ammo, and permanent upgrades that will help her fight tougher enemies and stay alive in the Care Center. Blood Specimens are optional collectibles hidden throughout the Care Center, and each one unlocks crafting recipes that significantly expand Grace’s arsenal.
There are all sorts of handy upgrades to collect, from Hemolytic Injectors that instantly take out unaware enemies to Steroids and Stabilizers that permanently boost Grace’s stats, and collecting and analysing all three Blood Specimens in Resident Evil Requiem will fully unlock Grace’s crafting potential. So to make sure you don’t miss a single upgrade, here’s where you can find all the Blood Specimens in Resident Evil Requiem.
Resident Evil Requiem: Where to Find Every Blood Specimen in the Care Center
There are three Blood Specimens in the Care Center of Resident Evil Requiem, and each one unlocks crafting recipes that give Grace permanent upgrades, letting her deal more damage, heal faster, and make the most of every encounter. The first blood specimen, the Denatured Blood Specimen, is in the Blood Lab in the East Wing. You reach the lab during Grace’s first visit to the wing, where you can pick up the Blood Collector on the desk just inside.
The Denatured Blood Specimen can be found next to the blood analysis machine, and you’ll need to solve a simple mini-puzzle. To solve the puzzle, simply press the middle cube node to activate all connected atoms and that will do the trick. Analyzing this specimen will allow Grace to craft Handgun Ammo for both her pistols and Hemolytic Injectors, which can instantly kill unaware enemies and prevent corpses from transforming into Blister Heads.
The second specimen, the Reversible Blood Specimen, is also in the Blood Lab, inside a storage room that requires a Level 1 ID Wristband to access. After retrieving the Level 1 ID Wristband on the Care Center’s second floor, return to the lab and unlock the storage room. Inside, you will find the Blood Specimen along with an Empty Injector, some metal scraps, and a green herb. The analysis mini-puzzle takes four steps.
Start by pressing the center cube, then press the center cube of the three cubes below it, and finally activate the two remaining corner cubes. Completing this will unlock Steroids for permanent health boosts and Stabilizers to increase damage.
The third specimen, the Converged Blood Specimen, is located in the East Wing Waiting Room, inside a closet. To reach it, you’ll need to take down a zombie cleaner and a noise-sensitive zombie patient guarding the area. Once inside the closet, you’ll find the Blood Specimen along with Handgun Ammo, 12.7x55mm Ammo, and some scrap.
To analyze this specimen, first press the middle cube in the initial three-cube setup, then activate the center cube of the resulting four-cube formation. This will unlock Med Injectors and 12.7x55mm Ammo for crafting.
There’s also a fourth Blood Specimen to find on Insanity difficulty. This specimen lets Grace craft the R.I.P. Knife, exclusive to this mode, and gives a large batch of Handgun Ammo. You can skip it if you want, but grabbing it can make fighting Insanity’s tougher enemies much easier. And that does it for our Blood Specimen locations in Resident Evil Requiem guide.
