Where to Find Every Yellow Herb in Resident Evil 4 to Get Max Health

Yellow Herbs in the Resident Evil 4 remake are almost as scarce as the game’s collectibles. This material is used for healing purposes but more importantly, it can permanently increase your max health, making Yellow Herbs highly sought after. However, the game doesn’t seem to give you many, meaning you’ll likely feel the need to search through every nook and cranny to find them. Thankfully, these materials spawn in fixed locations throughout the game, and here, we’ll show you where to find each of them.

Trade Merchant

Before hunting for Yellow Herbs throughout Resident Evil 4, you should know that you can also acquire them from the Merchant. You’ll need three spinels — which are obtained by completing requests — to trade the Merchant for one Yellow Herb, so keep this in mind.
