Resident Evil Village is a game that encourages exploration and backtracking. Players will revisit familiar locations throughout the game world to complete tasks or collect items that they weren't previously equipped for. One of the places in Resident Evil Village that gamers will return to is the Maestro House in the West Old Town area. It's a small home, but it actually contains items that are hard to find. Completion and discovery are very important to a lot of players, and this guide will help with obtaining everything possible from the Maestro House.
The Maestro House is easily spotted on the map by the gold chest labeled Maestro's Collection. This waymarker will be visible on the map after an encounter with the Duke at the Altar area. Players won't actually be able to enter the Maestro House until after obtaining Luthier's Key from the House Beneviento area. Once the key item is in hand, it's possible to return to the main village area and access the locked residence. Several valuable items are waiting within.
Below is a full list of all items in the Maestro House and how to obtain them, including one that's particularly difficult to find. However, most players will be drawn to the house in search of the Maestro's Collection treasure. Getting the Maestro's Collection is a trial in its own right. The special treasure is locked in a wardrobe which requires a specific number combination. A nearby document hints that a certain birthday is important. Elsewhere in the house, there's a childish drawing hung on the wall to celebrate a happy birthday with the exact date scribbled prominently on the paper.
All Maestro House Item Locations in Resident Evil Village

The trickiest item to spot within the Maestro House is the Yellow Quartz. Some players will search frantically throughout the house, attempting to find the last hidden thing that's keeping their map from turning blue. Towards the back of the house, in the northeast corner, there is a stringed instrument hanging from the rafters. Those who look up at the front face of the instrument will see the Yellow Quartz that's attached to the object. Once players see it, as shown in the screenshot below, they can shoot it down and collect the costly treasure. It's frustrating to find, but the Yellow Quartz is worth the trouble since it's a valuable treasure that can be sold to the Duke.
Fans can accumulate a lot of in-game money by selling all their valuable finds from within the Maestro House. There are quite a few more mysteries to be solved in Resident Evil Village that offer generous payoffs. Another troublesome hidden item to collect is the treasure within the Lone Road chest, which is locked with a hard-to-find key. Money problems are never a concern for avid treasure hunters.
