Resident Evil 4 Jewel Thief Crow’s Nest Location in Courtyard
The jewel thief’s request is collected on a wall near the merchant and the gondola in the ballroom. You must reach Chapter 12 for this Application to be available.
There are many crows in the Courtyard area, but only one will take you to the right place, and the reason it can take so long to find the nest is because it is not in the maze section of the Courtyard.
Although it appears that the maze is the only area of the courtyard, it actually extends a bit to the west.
That’s why you’ll find the Jewel Thief’s coffer at the top of the roof near the fountain that has fish swimming in it, west of the Courtyard maze section.
Look towards the northern entrance leading to the Merchant and you will see the nest on the roof. If you haven’t chased it away, there should also be a crow next to the nest.
Our Resident Evil 4 walkthrough can help you through the village with guides on the Big and Little Cave Shrine puzzle solutions, the Church dial puzzle, and the Del Lago, El Gigante, and Mendez bosses. When you reach the castle, you’ll need to tackle the correct timing puzzles of the Treasure Sword, the Four Slotted Wall, the Dining Room Bell, and the Grandfather Clock, along with the Garrador Dungeon, Two Giants, and Ramon Salazar’s bosses. The island is next, and there are still puzzles with calibration puzzles, keycard locations, and a hidden wrench, along with final bosses Krauser and Sadler.
How to get a striped emerald in Resident Evil 4
Once you’ve found the nest, all you have to do is shoot it and the Striped Emerald will fall to the ground.
The striped emerald sells for 5,000 ptas and you will clear the jewel thief’s request once it has been sold to the merchant. This rewards 3 additional spinels for your trouble.
