Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you escape Raccoon City!

Throughout my time earning 11 Resident Evil platinum trophies — including 7 on console — I’ve written several personal guides to help myself along the way.
I'm happy to finally share some of that knowledge here, and I hope it makes your experience a little smoother.

late, but the Red Jewel (Red Diamond) is found inside a Fancy Box in the Donut Shop safe room (Moon's Donuts). You need to inspect and manually open the Fancy Box from your inventory menu.
