Navigating the treacherous Raccoon City Police Department in the Resident Evil 2 remake requires quick thinking and resource management. To escape the main building, players must solve a central environmental puzzle involving three distinct hidden medallions. Finding these emblems requires inputting the correct code combinations into specific statues scattered throughout the facility.
Standard Solutions for the First Playthrough
During your initial campaign as either Leon or Claire, the clues for the dials are found within the tragic officer notebook. The prominent Lion Statue located on the second floor of the Main Hall requires the sequence of Lion, Leafy Branch, and Bird. Inputting these symbols successfully unlocks the first major medallion needed for progression.
To locate the second monument, players must head toward the upper western side of the building near the Library. The Unicorn Statue resides inside the adjacent Lounge area and accepts the combination of Fish, Scorpion, and Vase. Aligning these three images releases the secondary emblem into your inventory immediately.
The final challenge rests on the third floor within the cluttered West Storage Room behind a reinforced barricade. After clearing the obstacle with a detonator, players can approach the dirty Maiden Statue dials to enter Woman, Bow, and Snake. This completes the primary trio of artifacts required to open the secret underground exit route.
Alternate Codes for the Second Run
Starting a Second Run campaign changes the landscape significantly by shuffling the puzzle solutions completely. The iconic Lion Statue dials must now be turned to show the Crown, Flame, and Flying Bird symbols. This adjustments prevents players from relying strictly on memory from their previous escape attempts.
The Unicorn puzzle similarly demands an entirely new sequence to unlock its mechanical compartment. When visiting the Lounge area in this secondary scenario, players need to input Twin People, Scales, and Snake. Adapting to these changes is vital for conserving ammunition and avoiding deadly encounters.
Reaching the Maiden monument on the top floor presents a final altered trial for experienced survivors. The combination shifts to Ram, Harp, and Bird to bypass the lock on the final medallion. Memorizing these distinct variations ensures a much faster routing through the dangerous station hallways.
Strategic Integration and Goddess Statue Placement
Once you gather all three key emblems, return directly to the main foyer on the first floor. Placing each piece into the grand Goddess Statue base activates the mechanical floor plates to open the hidden passage. This progression route leads players down into the Underground Facility where tougher survival challenges await.
