Resident Evil 4’s Merchant
Resident Evil Village Easter Eggs
The Duke is one of the most important characters in Resident Evil Village, as Ethan will need to visit his shop in order to upgrade weapons, get consumables, and improve his overall stats by creating meals. Thankfully, you not only meet this merchant early on in the game, but you also run into him all over the place, as he somehow teleports throughout the map.
And just about every time you find The Duke in a different area or speak with him after a big story development, he always has something new to share. This ranges from some helpful new upgrades to plenty of witty comments on Ethan’s situation.
The best line of dialogue you’ll hear from the big merchant, though, is a reference that Resident Evil fans are sure to love. After a few visits, the Merchant will bellow “What’re ya buyin’?”
The Duke then chuckles, stating it was something an old friend of his used to say. This is a cool call-back to what the Merchant in Resident Evil 4 would always say when you visit his shop in the game.
