Ghoul RE Locations & NPC Map (2026)
A navigation hub for places and NPC functions—built to reduce wasted travel time.
Use Locations References to Move Faster
How to Use This Page
If you’re lost: start here, pick the category (progression, crafting, combat), then jump to official references for exact lists.
If you maintain the site: update this page when a patch moves a key NPC or adds a new location hub.
Why Locations Matter in Ghoul RE
A lot of Ghoul RE progression is “go to the right place, talk to the right NPC, do the right activity.” That means a locations page is more useful than a long story guide: it helps you route your session and reduces downtime.
Many wiki references include structured location lists and NPC directories. This page is a hub that points you to those references and provides a mental model for what you should be looking for.
Location Types (What You’re Usually Looking For)
| Type | What you do there | Examples (common names) | How to verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main hub | Vendors, crafting, key NPCs, fast routing | Anteiku-style hub, central districts | Wiki locations list |
| Progression NPC area | Rank/SP requirements, faction-specific progression | CCG/Ghoul progression points | Wiki NPC list + Trello notes |
| Combat zones | Farming, missions, bosses/events | Event arenas, boss zones | Discord patch notes + wiki |
| Utility spots | RC check/upgrade, respec/reset, inventory systems | Hospital-style check location | Trello + wiki |
Common Location Names You’ll See in Guides
Many location lists include recurring place names that become anchors in the community: Anteiku, Art Station, Hospital, and Helter Skelter are examples that show up frequently in structured location directories. Even if you don’t know the exact coordinates, recognizing these names helps you parse guides quickly.
If a guide says “go to Hospital to check RC” or “meet an NPC near Anteiku,” treat the name as a navigation keyword. Open the Locations UI (if your build has it) or check the wiki locations list to confirm the route on the current patch.
Example Locations (Use as Search Anchors)
| Location | Why players go there | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Anteiku | Common hub reference in many lists | Use as a starting anchor when routing. |
| Art Station | Often listed as a named area | Verify current access via wiki list. |
| Hospital | Often referenced for progression checks (example: RC) | If the mechanic moved, confirm via Trello/Discord. |
| Helter Skelter | Often listed as a named area | Treat as a navigation keyword in the wiki directory. |
NPC Functions (A Practical Cheat Sheet)
Instead of memorizing every NPC name, think in functions. Progression NPCs tell you what you need for the next rank or unlock. Crafting NPCs convert materials into upgrades. Vendor NPCs trade currency for items. Respec/reset NPCs let you change build direction, usually for a cost.
When you find an NPC, write down two things: what it does and what it costs. That turns Ghoul RE from a confusing maze into a repeatable route.
How to Turn NPCs Into a Route (Not a Checklist)
A common beginner trap is treating NPCs as a long list you have to memorize. The better approach is route planning. Pick your goal first (rank up, unlock a system, craft an upgrade). Then list the minimum NPCs needed for that goal and visit them in a loop that minimizes travel.
For example, a simple session loop can be: start in a hub → pick up missions → farm a combat zone → return to progression NPC to confirm requirements → visit a utility NPC (RC check/respec) only if needed → repeat. Your exact loop will vary by faction and patch, but the idea is consistent: reduce downtime and increase purposeful actions.
Plan Your Route Before You Grind
If the Map Changes (How to Stay Accurate)
Open-world games shift with updates. NPCs can move, UI labels can change, and new locations can appear. When that happens, rely on official sources and structured references rather than guessing. Discord announcements often mention major map/system changes. Trello can summarize system shifts. Wiki pages can update lists once the community confirms details.
If you are maintaining this site, update this page by adding or removing a location anchor only after verification. A small number of correct anchors is more useful than a long list of questionable ones.
Use the In-Game Locations UI (If Available)
Some references mention a dedicated Locations UI key (often listed as P). If your build has a locations overlay or markers, treat it as your primary navigation tool. It’s faster than memorizing a wiki list, and it reflects the current patch state.
A practical habit is to keep a tiny personal route note: your hub, your progression NPC, your most-used farm zone, and your main utility spot. When you can travel between those four points quickly, most guides become actionable instantly.
