This one is fairly intuitive
The castle is one of my favoriteResident Evillocales of all time, and now it’s a bit more involvedin theResident Evil 4remake, with several new areas and twists to navigate. One of them is the room with the “sword and gong puzzles,” which actually funnel into each other. Here’s how to solve both and continue on your way:saving some precious ammo in the process!
Pick up all the swords from the panels on the wall
As soon as you enter the room you’re able to grab all three swords off the wall.
These are in the incorrect spots, so just get them all at once: there’s no inventory space to worry about. You’ll be placing them all back on the wall in different spots soon enough.
Ring the gongs to uncover the bloodied sword
Turn left and look into the room behind the metal gate. You’ll need to ring three gongs to get in.
The first is on the left of the grate itself:pull the lever/chain. Then you’ll want to hit the bird and snake gongs with your pistol. The gate will open, andyou can get the bloodied sword. Doing this correct the first time will save you ammo and some trial and error.
Put all the swords back in their correct spots
Now, you’ll take all four swords you collected and place them in their correct spots on the wall.
Here’s a quick breakdown, from left to right:
How to solve the chandelier room gong puzzle
Immediately after entering the sword puzzle door, you’ll enter an area on an upper floor that has gongs and chandeliers. To get to the next area, you’ll want to turn left after arriving into the room and pull the lever/chain for the gong. Then jump on the chandelier closest to the door, and turn left after you leap over. Pull that lever/chain too.
