Resident Evil Requiem includes numerous hidden references and unlockable content, but none appear as complex as “The Final Puzzle.”
Warning! The following contains spoilers for events within Resident Evil Requiem’s Final Puzzle.
Similar to recent Resident Evil titles, Requiem features a challenge list that adds completion points to a player’s overall score. One of these challenges, aptly named “The Final Puzzle,” has proven particularly baffling for players.
IGN is currently developing a guide to the puzzle, and has made significant progress in the initial, intricate stages of the challenge, which appears more complex than anything seen in a previous Resident Evil game. The path to completion, yet, remains lengthy.
The ultimate reward for completing the puzzle remains unknown, but as the game continues its global rollout, the search for a solution is expected to become a major focus within the player community. The intricate puzzle design highlights the ongoing trend of developers incorporating complex, community-driven challenges into modern gaming experiences.
The game offers a cryptic clue to the challenge: “Let the sweet couple hear the sound.” The puzzle’s mechanics, at least in the initial phase, seem to involve collecting or examining a series of items to identify portions of a specific code.
The series of clues in Requiem relies on players obtaining a specific severed hand, which can then be scanned to reveal a hidden RNA code via a blood sample analysis device. Other items similarly contain their own codes, which, after some analytical operate, form a sequence of RNA that can be entered into a safe with buttons depicting a star, sun, and moon.
The trail of clues then temporarily halts, but further steps are anticipated to be revealed as players progress through the game. Discovering these types of puzzles remains an enjoyable part of the Requiem experience.
IGN’s review of Resident Evil Requiem, which awarded the game a perfect 10/10 score, stated, “Resident Evil Requiem represents the culmination of the series’ artistic and intellectual maturity, redefining its identity through a blend of pure psychological horror and intense action within an integrated experience. Its depth lies in a dynamic enemy design that adapts to the player’s style and imposes constant tension, and in a precise rhythmic structure that balances moments of overwhelming helplessness with a sense of absolute control without disruption.”
