There are 20 Mr. Charlie bobblehead statues to collect in the Resident Evil 3 demo. These figures are located in some tough to spot places. Even though the RE3 demo is only around 30 minutes, it could take hours to find them on your own. Luckily, we’ve got (almost) every Mr. Charlie statue location in the RE3 demo right here.
Some of the Mr. Charlie bobbleheads require you to take specific actions before they unlock. We’ve stuck those at the end of this list as they’ll likely be the hardest ones for you to find. Additionally, no matter how hard we look, we can’t find the last three of these. It’s possible these Mr. Charlies might be behind the yellow locks that you seemingly can’t interact with. Alternatively, they might be stuck somewhere so diabolical we haven’t thought to look there yet.
We’ll be updating this guide with the remaining three Resident Evil 3 demo Mr. Charlie bobblehead locations when we find them.
Resident Evil 3 demo Mr. Charlie bobblehead statue locations
As stated above, there are 20 Mr. Charlie bobbleheads scattered throughout the RE3 demo. To collect them you have to shoot them or stab them with your knife. Once you’ve broken them, they won’t appear in subsequent playthroughs. Luckily, the demo keeps track of how many you’ve got, and you can see your total in the Results page found on the main menu.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #1
The first Mr. Charlie can be found near where you start the demo. Go out the doorway closest to the north end of the subway car and look at the platform across the track. You’ll be able to spot the Mr. Charlie bobblehead chilling on the ground.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #2
This Mr. Charlie is maybe the easiest to find in the whole RE3 demo. Once you ascend the stairs to the ground floor of the subway station, you’ll find this statue on the desk near the UBCS file.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #3
Once you leave the subway station and see your first zombie, take him out and look towards the south part of the street. You should see an ambulance with some gurneys nearby. In the back of the ambulance is Mr. Charlie #3.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #4
At the north part of the same street you find Mr. Charlie #3 at, you’ll see three zombies banging on a gate with fire behind them. Behind these zombies, on the hood of a police car, is the next bobblehead.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #5
To find this Mr. Charlie, descend the steps towards Donut Moon, and once you’re at the bottom, turn around. Underneath the scaffolding on the left is statue #5.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #6
This bobblehead can be found by the microwave behind the counter in the southwest corner of Donut Moon. He’s tucked in there, but if you go to the west door and turn until you face the south wall, you can’t miss him.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #7
Northeast of the east door of Donut Moon, there’s a staircase that takes you to a catwalk leading around the downtown area. To get statue #7, go up the stairs and head east. In this rooftop area, stick to the left, and you’ll find a Mr. Charlie bobblehead on top of a power unit.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #8
Take the same stairs mentioned in the last entry, but go west instead. You’ll find yourself in a storeroom full of boxes and a safe. Here, you’ll find a Mr. Charlie tucked on the top shelf among some boxes.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #9
Once you exit the storeroom via the south door, you’ll head through a hall with a door facing east, leading to another catwalk. If you stand right where the door opens onto the grating and look up at the railroad tracks, you’ll see Mr. Charlie #9.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #10
Continue standing exactly where you were when you shot Mr. Charlie #9 and look south towards Donut Moon. On the roof, you’ll see another bobblehead to cap.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #11
Back on the street you found Mr Charlie #3 and #4, there’s a supermarket locked by a chain. By this point, you should have found the bolt cutters that will allow you to gain entry (if not, they’re in the save room in Donut Moon). Cut the chain and head inside. Look north, and you should see Mr. Charlie #11 sitting on a counter.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #12
West of the western door of Donut Moon, you’ll find an alley blocked by a gate locked with a chain. Use the bolt cutters to open it. Inside, after you take down the zombies, you’ll find another Mr. Charlie bobblehead tucked between to vents near the case containing shotgun shells.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #13
This bobblehead is waiting for you in the pharmacy. Scan along the western wall, and you’ll find him nestled on a shelf.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #14
You’ll find yet another bobblehead in the Subway Office. In the room where you find the shotgun, you’ll find a Mr. Charlie on a shelf in a low cabinet on the north wall.
Note: All the above Mr. Charlie bobbleheads can be obtained at any time in the demo. These next three require you to get the Fire Hose from the Subway Office and trigger the fight with Nemesis.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #15
To snag this elusive bobblehead, you must use the Fire Hose on the hydrant in the alley north of Uncle Toys. Once you do that, inch your way to where you can see around the corner ahead. Don’t go too fast or too far, or you’ll trigger the end of the demo. Around the corner, on top of a vent by the door, is another Mr. Charlie.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #16 AND #17
These last two Mr. Charlies are an absolute pain to get. They’re located in two cop cars. One car is near the gate leading from the alley coming from the subway station, and there’s one to the southwest of the western door of Donut Moon. These cars are closed when you first past them, and you need to trigger the zombie inside to open the door and flop out.
I’m not entirely sure what the exact trigger is to get these cars to open. I’ve only got one of the two, the one near the gate leading back to the subway station, to open. As of right now any of these could be the possible trigger:
- Knock Nemesis down x number of times during the fight.
- Play the demo for x amount of time.
- Have Nemesis chasing you for x amount of time.
I did notice that I could without fail get the car door near the gate to the subway station to activate by knocking Nemesis down 3-4 times. However, after hours of trying, I still haven’t gotten the cop car west of Donut Moon to open. I know that’s where another Mr. Charlie is because I saw it happen for a streamer, but they were as confused about the process as I am.
MR. CHARLIE BOBBLEHEAD LOCATION #18, #19, AND #20
I’ve hunted up and down for the last three Mr. Charlie bobbleheads in the RE3 demo. So, they’re either hidden in some ridiculous locations, or the way to them is hidden somehow. There are three yellow locks in the demo, one on the door to Uncle Toys, one on a locker in Donut Moon, and one on a locker in the Subway Office. However, there’s no way to interact with them, and no prompt appears on the UI when you’re near them. In the full game, these will be unlocked via Jill’s lockpick, so perhaps there’s an obscure way to earn this item in the demo?
I’m going to keep cracking at getting the last few Mr. Charlies, and I’ll be updating this guide as soon as I figure out how to do it.
