The Resident Evil franchise is no stranger to creating the most baffling ways for a door to be locked. Aside from normal keys, you will be interacting with tons of contraptions to make your way through the game, including clocks and hexagon dials. What might be the most ridiculous puzzle of all comes in the Castle area of Resident Evil 4 Remake.
After escaping the Dungeons, Leon and Ashley will be stopped by a gate that isn’t locked by conventional means. To get through to the Audience Chamber, you will need to work out what order you need to place a series of swords on a set of murals because that’s just how things work in this crazy world. Luckily, this guide can help you solve this perplexing puzzle in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
How To Solve The Sword Puzzle In Resident Evil 4 Remake
The first thing you will notice when approaching the gate are the four murals on either side of the door of a knight in different situations. Three of them have swords, while one is missing. The puzzle isn’t as simple as just finding the missing sword -(believe us, we wish it was!) but putting them in the right spots. The swords are not in the correct order, so you will need to rearrange them. Here’s which type of sword corresponds with each mural going from left to right.
- Iron Sword
- Golden Sword
- Bloodied Sword
- Rusted Sword
Somehow putting these swords in this order will cause the gate to open. While we can help you solve this puzzle, don’t ask us to explain the mechanics of it. Regardless, you’re now free to venture forth to further challenges.
