Resident Evil Requiem gamers have spent the weekend attempting to unravel the sport’s cryptic Final Puzzle, and now a Pokémon fan has supplied video proof they’ve accomplished the problem — regardless of being unsure precisely how they did so.
Pokémon buying and selling card fan Gengar Collects has posted quite a few screenshots and video proof on YouTube suggesting he has certainly completed The Final Puzzle, a labyrinthine quest that 1000’s of gamers have been attempting to collectively remedy since earlier than Requiem formally launched final week.
The one drawback? Even with this proof, which actually does recommend Gengar Collects has accomplished the problem, followers nonetheless aren’t certain precisely learn how to do it for themselves, because it requires the holding of an merchandise that usually cannot be discovered.
“I do not even know if it was the way it was purported to be carried out,” Gengar Collects says in a video that makes an attempt to stroll followers via his answer. Primarily, it boils all the way down to him holding an merchandise, Marie’s Doll, after which inputting the puzzle’s now-infamous code sequence. Doing so then granted him the problem completion — one thing he additionally supplied screenshots of.
But learn how to get Marie’s doll? The previous few hours have seen a frantic forwards and backwards between Gengar Collects and different followers through YouTube feedback, and to be honest, it appears like he is attempting his finest to assist. A collection of screenshots present the situation he claims he discovered Marie’s Doll in (which is completely different to the doll you discover within the cell). Additional screenshots present he’s enjoying on Xbox Collection X/S, which limits the suggestion he has someway used a cheat or hack to get the doll merchandise to spawn, the place for others it may’t be discovered.
But extra screenshots, requested by different gamers, present a close-up examination of the doll in his stock. There are not any different clues on the merchandise itself — “no title in ink on the underside of the shoe,” Gengar Collects says, because the doll within the cell has — solely extra proof that he’s being sincere along with his declare.
So, what is going on on? Why can nobody else discover the doll and full the puzzle? The most effective working concept in the intervening time is that Gengar Collects legitimately accomplished the Final Puzzle, however solely after unconsciously doing one thing throughout his playthrough that spawned the doll. And it is this step, now, that followers are dashing to breed. (Alternatively, it is doable the doll spawned on account of some sort of bug or random glitch.)
On the upside, followers say they now know the problem’s ending — and as quickly because the doll is obtained, the puzzle can lastly be accomplished. On the draw back, Gengar Collects appears equally stumped on what he did so as to have the ability to decide the doll up within the first place.
Again over on reddit, the work continues. “Inputting the code is the final step, however you want Marie’s doll,” one fan summed up. “That is the step we have to focus [on].”
“That is only a guess, however might the doll spawning be tied to how usually we spoke to Emily?” questioned one fan. “Has anybody tried flushing the bogs utilizing the numbers 204,” prompt one other. “That is the room quantity that Grace and her mother stayed within the resort.” For extra detailed pointers, remember to try IGN’s Resident Evil Requiem Final Puzzle problem information — perhaps you possibly can assist remedy it?
