For hardcore and pro the solution is 2 times bottom right, 2 times bottom left and then one time north. Always worked for me on PS

I think most puzzles change slightly on hardcore/pro

No puzzles no puzzles no puzzles no puzzles!

I have to laugh at myself. I first encountered this on Assisted level and thought: easy peasy.

I got to it on Professional level and was wondering why it wasn't just snapping into place???

Then I actually started paying attention to what I was doing and I realized why it was taking me longer than normal: I actually had to apply my mind to problem solving!

Humbling moment. Then I laughed.

I think that ones the same every time, I remember that if you place them in an order of ABC then you press the bottom right twice, the bottom left twice then the top once that it does it for you.

If you can't do that, all you gotta do is move it until something happens.

I wish they made this puzzle simpler. It feels more difficult that the other puzzles in the game. It seems like some people are simply brute forcing the solution rather than trying to solve it.

I've honestly just been brute forcing these by looking at the number in the upper right and toggling each switch left to right until I see it raise each time. Works well and fast. Each one takes me about 30 seconds or less.

The one for the optional treadute was actually a tough puzzle for me...so thanks!

I'm not ashamed to say I rocket launchered the first one, then went back, bought a second launcher, and took out the second one, too.

Thanks homie. Saving this for my next playthrough

That picture puzzle was never an issue with me, maybe because I happened upon the note first. I agree the puzzles are a lot of gathering things and the pace suffers with intermittent stop/start combat. I feel like maybe it's easy to see them as overall hard when the awesome sweaty gameplay wont let me breath in how it's solved or where to get the next piece.

The RE7 horse head door puzzle in the early game is a good example of how to make a gathering-shit puzzle good. The first piece weaves into a major event, followed by having to backtrack and being cornered by a stalker for the 2nd, and the final piece is the close of an act, and the world design leads the player right where they need to go once they have all three.

But yeah I absolutely see your point. On a side note, as I've gotten older, unless it's a dedicated puzzle game, I have less patience for puzzles in games like this in general and don't wait long before looking up how to essentially skip it. A lot of people might relate.

I have the exact opposite opinion. I hate that all the puzzles are absolutely brain dead easy.

I want some really tough puzzles that make the first playthrough challenging but don’t hurt future playthroughs as you can breeze through them with knowing the solutions.

Edit: for example. I would have loved if there were more books to read from in the house with the locked cabinet/crystal ball and they all had tidbits to hint at what the lock could be, especially if none of them had bolded text.

The original 4 had mild ass puzzles so remake improved some of them, even if marginally

Not really, the only ones I hate are the electronic gates near the end game and it's not that I do not understand them I just can't visualize 2 steps ahead.

I think they’re quite easy after like one or two playthroughs. I’ve got most of them all memorized, which is actually pretty useful for when you’re speedrunning the game to get an S+ rank.

I always found it easy even in the original and the remake was also easy. Idk maybe because i had prior knowledge with the original and i kinda understood the context of it so yeah, tbh this hame didn’t have any difficult puzzles. Aside from the fucking puzzles in the laboratory! Now these! These are so annoying and i rarely use videos and guides but they were so annoying. I had fun with them at the first playthrough but after that they became annoying.

I never had issues with that puzzle.

What I did have issues with were the fucking sliding tile puzzles. I am so bad at sliding tile puzzles ;_;

Its super easy in the original for some reason but they rlly buffed it in the remake

I’ve always found it easy. Just find the parts that have to fit together, and guide it from there.

Took me 15 minutes and two guides on my first play-through lmao, until some genius in the comments told me to just match the glass shapes with the gold in the middle to make it fit and I’ve done it within 20 seconds in subsequent playthroughs

Just match the images... u can turn the stones

You just have to swap them. If its lined up "correctly" swap the same faces

You can flip the stones

Lock in

I will admit, my first playthrough, it took me a minute to realize the pieces rotated.

Is that 4 minutes or 4 hours?

Wtf, how the hell are people getting stuck on a puzzle like this? There's literally 6 pieces and a billion spaces available 😭

Also, TIL they changed that puzzle in an update

I used to go crazy because of this exact puzzle. I was stuck for like 2 days

Push the small beige block at the top 1 tile to the right, then push the small beige block at the bottom of the big greenish one 1 tile to the right also, then push the big greenish one 1 tile down, finally push the small beige block that is perpendicular to you position in the photo 1 tile to the right.

If my eyes are right that’s how you solve it

You move the northest and southest stone by one to the right. Then you move the bug stone to the south.

If the guard can see you or something, use the southest block to block it view, i think.

What is it?

Its the little room in the farm area before the big wood door for those asking where this is.

Wait, this is that extra room by the barn isnt it? Where you let Ashely piggyback to open the door during the night? By the windmill?

Don’t know what I’m looking at

I love how I know the game so well I immediately knew what room this was lol. Truly know RE4 like the back of my hand!

I don’t think he’s gonna fall for that one
