Here’s the resolution if you prefer not to use excessive force. If includes a pool of blood and some sculptures in Lady Dimitrescu’s fortress. There’s one enigma specifically that can be particularly challenging. Similar to past installments in the series, Village includes a few small mental challenges that necessitate some analytical reasoning. It wouldn’t be a Resident Evil game without some problem-solving, however.
Surrounding it are four sculptures, where a pool of blood (or perhaps wine, although to a vampire there may be no distinction) can be observed. Upon entering, in the very center of this portion, you will discover a chamber known as the Hall of Ablution. As you progress, you will eventually enter a fresh space which encompasses Lady D’s quarters within the Dimitrescu Castle segment. Now, let us thoroughly examine the precise details of what you are observing in this instance.
This will give you hints at what needs to be done here: interact with the inscription on the wall and move to the other side of the room to begin.
The swimming pool will properly empty through all four pipes and then it will activate with interaction. Each position of the statue will indicate clues on how to proceed.
What is the solution for the two statues of women? They need to ignore the male who is facing them on horseback and advance. Another solution is for them to turn and face the man.
Disregarding him, there is a lady who appears occupied as well, and you will have to beg them, my lord, to have your way, as it is the final part of the statue featuring three “unfortunate” individuals.
Once everything is set, the pool will empty and you will discover a staircase leading down to the distillery.
Before you leave…
You can’t miss the fact that there are a couple of things you can get on the Ablution Hall floor. You might want to scavenge a bit before heading down into the Distillery, but you will later return to this area.
Acquire those items to ensure you have access to all the necessary weapons before proceeding. You will discover pistol ammunition in a drawer in that area and explosive material behind a glass panel adjacent to the narrow corridor of the Hall of Ablution, which is easily overlooked. Be sure to obtain the map of the castle located on this level, opposite Lady Dimitrescu’s chamber.
As you navigate through the opulent chambers of Lady Dimitrescu’s castle, be prepared for the presence of a colossal lady armed with razor-sharp Wolverine-like claws, who intends to end your life. Additionally, brace yourself for an abundance of intricate enigmas awaiting your discovery in those beautifully adorned corridors.
