Other RE8 Village Guides

Head back to the Hall of the Four and enter the Merchant’s Room. You can use the Flower Swords Ball on the diorama inside. Tilt the puzzle and send the ball to ♉its goal to get another item to sell to the merchant. Sell all your valuables here, unless they’re combinable, in which case you should save them for later. Once you've got your dolla' dolla' bills, y'🃏all, upgrade your weapons a bit.

Once you’re done, head upstairs in the Main Hall and down the gilded corridor where you first had to bypass one of the daughters. She’s still here so be careful. There’s a door in this corridor that you can now unlock using Dimitrescu’s Key, taking you to the Hall of Pleasure. You’ll find the Mask of Pleasure inside. There’s also a drawer in here containing a Silver Ring, as well as some Lei in a vase. Now crawl through the fireplace towards the Armory. Obviously, there’s some ammo and Pipe Bombs up here so grab what you can. At some point, one of ꧅the daughters will turn up.

To defeat her, you need to move a bookcase that’s against the wall. Like other interactive objects, it’s covered in yellow tape. Once you’ve moved it aside, you will see a crack in the wall. Throw one of your Pipe Bombs to let some light into the room, making the daughter vulnerable. Now finish her off with some close-range shotgun blasts. Pick up the Crystal Torso from her corpse and grab the Mounted Animal Skull from the wall in the Armory. Examine the Mounted Animal Skull in your inventory and rotate it to look at the back. Interact to release the screw, turning the Key Item into a simple Animal Skull.

Head back down t♏he stairs and interact with the statue where you got the Mask of Pleasure. Replace it with the Anꦺimal Skull, opening the way out.

Resident Evil Village - Castle Dimitrescu Treasure Map Puzzle

From here, you want to head to the Dining Hall and into the Kitchen. This bit is completely optional, but it’s worth doing to get some valuable treasure. You won’t even need the Treasure Map with this guide.

Lady Dimitrescu will be stalking the halls now, but just avoid her and run towards your goal. Head down into the cellar to the North. At the bottom of the stairs, there’s a locked door in the Northeast corner that you can now open. Fight through the zombies and get inside the room.💧 As you enter, a metal fence will rise up from the ground. Here’s what you need to do:

  • There’s a cracked wall in the left corner of the room and you must use a Pipe Bomb to blow it open, revealing a lit sconce.
  • Shoot the unlit hanging torch that’s closest to the lit torch so that it swings towards the lit sconce and catches alight. You’ll want to use the shotgun to get enough oomph.
  • Once you’ve done that, head around the back of the newly lit hanging torch and shoot it towards the remaining unlit hanging torch.
  • While it’s still swinging, run around the opposite side of the unlit hanging torch and shoot that towards the swinging, lit torch and it should catch alight if they’re both swinging.
  • The fence will close and you’ll be free to open the coffin to get the Azure Eye.

Now head towards the Courtyard and through the door that takes you to the Opera Hall. By the Opera Hall, head up the stairs and towards the Library. Use the Iron Insignia Key to open the door.

Once inside, you’ll be attacked by one of the daughters. Like the other fights with the daughters, you need to make her vulnerable with light - only this time, you have to pull levers in the room to open the skylight, rather than destroying something to let light in. Pull the lever, shoot her with the shotgun, rinse and repeat. The lever is located on one of the pillars in the middle of the room. Grab her Crystal Torso when she’s dead. Scoop up any other items in the room and then head to the Hall of Joy. Grab the Mask of Joy from inside and then head into the Atelier room.

Resident Evil Village - Let the Five Bells of This Chamber Ring Out

five bells resident evil 8

The Atelier room h🌼as a puzzle where you need to sꦍhoot five bells hidden around the place. Here’s where they all are:

  • Bell 1: swinging past by the clockwork mechanism in the wall
  • Bell 2: to the left of the clockwork mechanism, near a stone bust
  • Bell 3: hanging in the bottom-left corner of a painting opposite the clockwork mechanism
  • Bell 4: walk up the stairs in the corner and shoot the chandelier, revealing another bell hidden on top of it
  • Bell 5: shoot the skylight to reveal the final bell hiding outside the room

Shooting all five reveals a secret room. Head through behind the painting and climb the ladder. Turn around at the top and shoot the Goat of Warding behind you. Head through to the next room and grab the Treasure Map, but don’t worry about it - if you’ve followed our guide, you will already have the treasure. There’s also a box with some Lei in it here, and there’s a small room behind you with a zombie playing dead and a Lockpick. Follow the corridor along and you’ll find the F2 Rifle. You might have to play some inventory Tetris to fit it on your person. Don’t forget you can rotate items to make space. Once you’ve go♕t it, head out the door on your left.

Once outside, use your new sniper rifle to take out the vampire bats flying about the place. There’s an elevator here that you can take back down to Reception if you like, allowing you to go to The Duke to sort your inventory woes out. Once you’ve done that - if you need to - get back up to the roof. If you got the Azure Eye and the Silver Ring, com♛bine them together to make an item worth much mo🔯re than they're worth separately and sell it to the Duke.
