Resident Evil 3 Charlie Doll locations guide and maps

Find every Charlie bobblehead doll (and destroy them)

Jeffrey Parkin (he/him) has been writing video game guides for Polygon for almost seven years. He has learned to love just about every genre of game that exists.

Scattered throughout Resident Evil 3, you’ll find 20 Charlie bobblehead dolls based on Toy Uncle’s founder. Destroying them all will earn you a Record in the game, as well as the Goodbye, Charlie! Achievement or Trophy.

In this guide, we’ll help you find all 20 Charlie Dolls. We’ve got maps for each area with the locations marked, and then we’ll have screenshots of each bobblehead as you’ll see it in the game.

We’ve numbered them on the maps and in the text below for ease of reference, but the game doesn’t number them.


Subway Station

There is one Charlie Doll to find in the Redstone Street Station Subway Station.

When you reach the Downtown area, there are two Charlie Dolls to destroy.

Mine Rounds are good for zombies and accidentally destroying Charlie Dolls.

There’s an excellent chance you’ll never see this Charlie Doll — we sure didn’t. It’s along the right side of the hallway shortly after the Dilapidated Shelter. If you use an Mine Round (like we did) to handle the zombies in the hallway, you’re likely to destroy it without even noticing. Check the bunk rooms along the right of the hallway to make sure.


Clock Tower Plaza

After the Sewer Tunnels, Jill will cross the Clock Tower Plaza to have a fight with Nemesis. Before you have that fight, there’s one Charlie Doll to destroy.
