Resident Evil 9 Requiem: Fastest route through Leon Must Die Forever
Resident Evil 9: Requiem features a free DLC mode called “Leon Must Die Forever” that serves as a minigame available after completing the main campaign. The mode challenges players to reach and defeat the final boss, Victor, while navigating multiple possible routes, randomized weapon placements, and dozens of enemy encounters.
Players have significant freedom in how they approach Leon Must Die Forever. The mode supports multiple route options with dynamic weapon spawning, allowing playthroughs to vary considerably. Notably, players are not required to engage every enemy or obstacle—they can bypass combat encounters entirely and rush directly to Victor’s boss fight.
A newly published speedrunning guide outlines the fastest possible route through Leon Must Die Forever, providing strategies to minimize completion time. The guide demonstrates that Victor can be defeated using only basic weapons and parrying techniques, meaning rare or powerful equipment is unnecessary. For speedrunners seeking personal bests and players wanting to complete the DLC efficiently, the guide breaks down the tactical approach needed to optimize playtime through the content.
