Resident Evil Village Riverbank treasure house puzzle solution

Want to know how to solve the Resident Evil Village Riverbank treasure house puzzle? There are plenty of optional puzzles in the game, but one of the more out-of-the-way ones has to be the Riverbank house. On the map it's situated close to Dimitrescu Castle, but it's only really accessible later in the game, once you have the crank from Moreau's Swamp.

Getting to the Riverbank house is one thing, but the puzzle inside is a bit of an ordeal. It's another brazier puzzle similar to those found within the castle, only this one has an added layer of complexity that is never really explained beforehand, or used since. Solving the puzzle will give you some valuable treasure to sell, so it's worth the fiddly execution

You'll get more than just treasure from completing this puzzle, too - the solution unlocks an achievement granted for burning a monster with a torch. It's not required to complete the game, but if you're looking to complete the game 100%, we have you covered.

Resident Evil Village five bells puzzle solution

Want to know the Resident Evil Village five bells puzzle solution? The room with the five bells is found in Dimitrescu Castle and completing this puzzle is mandatory in order to progress. When you first enter the room, there is a note with a clue about ringing all five bells. There are several tricky mandatory puzzles in Resident Evil Village, such as the mannequin puzzle in the Beneviento mansion, but there are also some well-hidden optional puzzles that give fantastic rewards like the Resident Evil Village Riverbank treasure house puzzle and the violin house combination lock.

Back to the bells - ringing them is as simple as attacking them with the knife or shooting them with a gun, but that's the easy bit. Finding them is a little trickier. The good news is that you don't need to leave the room to ring them, so no need to put yourself at risk of becoming a human kebab on Lady Dimitrescu's razor sharp claws.

Some of the bells are well hidden however, and finding the perfect spot to see all five bells can be tricky if you don't know where to go. Here's the Resident Evil Village five bells puzzle solution and the steps you need to take to complete it.

Resident Evil Village violin house - combination lock code

Want to know how to get inside the Resident Evil Village violin house? As you return to the village, wading through hordes of Lycans on the way to the house with the red chimney, you may notice an abandoned house with a violin emblem on its door. It's currently locked, as the owner went missing a fair while before monsters attacked the village.

The key to this house has been left with the Beneviento's gardener for safekeeping until the violin house's owner returns, but seeing as the gardener himself is long gone, it's essentially been abandoned. Normally there wouldn't be much reason to go inside, but it turns out that this house has a valuable upgrade for one of your weapons.

Here's a complete walkthrough for how to get inside the Resident Evil Village violin house - and in case you don't feel like solving the puzzle yourself, we've got the combination lock code so you can grab the valuable treasure and the weapon upgrade hidden inside.

Resident Evil Village labyrinth ball locations

Want to know where the Resident Evil labyrinth balls are? In one of the rooms just off the main reception room of Lady Dimitrescu's castle, you'll find The Duke's Emporium. Next to it is a weird contraption that looks like a macabre screwball scramble. These are the labyrinths created by a craftsman named Norshteyn and there are four of them in the village.

Each labyrinth requires its own "specially crafted metal ball" to play the mini-game, according to the book next to the labyrinth in the castle, and each ball is found somewhere in the same region. Once you've found the ball, bring it back to the labyrinth and pop the ball into the contraption. You'll then need to navigate the ball through the device in order to unlock the crystallised remains of Norshteyn's four wives.

These devices are relatively easy to find and the treasure inside can be sold for lots of Lei, but the balls that you need to use with the labyrinths are tiny and well hidden. This guide will tell you where to find all of the Resident Evil Village labyrinth metal balls, and how to complete each of the four mazes.
