Where To Use The Heart Key In Resident Evil 2 Remake

In Resident Evil 2, players have a choice to play through the story as either rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy or college student Claire Redfield, who has decided to travel to Raccoon City to search for her brother Chris. While Leon and Claire explore many of the same areas, their paths through those areas differ and some of the puzzles and items they encounter are different. Additionally, there are some items that are only available for one character and not the other, and that's the case with the Heart Key.

Updated on February 2nd, 2025 By Joshua Leeds: Resident Evil 2 Remake has a lot of ins and outs as players try to navigate through the Police Station just in the opening few hours of the game. This article has been updated to include additional information for when trying to find the heart key, along with a list of all the locations of Heart Doors that needed to be opened with the key once you get it.

During the Claire A playthrough, Resident Evil 2 players will wind up in Chief Irons's Office after completing the garage and taking the elevator. From there, head into his Private Collection Room and search for the Lovers Relief item. Examine the Lovers Relief in the inventory, spinning it around to look at the back to find the Heart Key.

Just like with Leon and the Club Key, the Heart Key opens up some very important areas for Claire to explore during her time at the Raccoon City Police Department. The heart key is required for players to actually progress in the game, but since it's not made clear in-game that it's unobtainable in Leon's playthrough, some Resident Evil 2 fans have understandably been confused by it.

Leon can't get the Heart Key.

There are some other important differences between the Leon and Claire campaigns. One is the side characters the two partner with over the course of the game. For example, Leon spends most of his time with the mysterious Ada Wong, whereas Claire dedicates herself to protecting Sherry Birkin.

The Heart Key opens four doors for Claire. The first one is also in the Chief's Office and connects the player back to the rest of the police station, letting them progress the game. The other three heart doors are:

In the supply room behind the Operations Room that was originally chained closed leading to the Records Room.
Opens the Interrogation Room door, leading to where you use the Red Jewel.
On the Balcony, the heart door opens leading to the East Storage Room.

After opening all four doors, the red check mark will appear next to the Heart Key in the inventory, meaning it is safe to discard without any issues, helping free up more inventory slots.
