Obtain the Unicorn Medal

Obtain the Unicorn Medal (Claire's Scenario)

As Claire Redfield, your journey to obtain the Unicorn Medal begins almost immediately upon entering the Raccoon City Police Department (RPD) Main Hall. This is the first of three crucial medals you'll need to insert into the Goddess Statue to unlock the Secret Passage, a vital step in progressing through the game.

Initial Steps & Main Hall Overview

Upon entering the RPD, you'll find yourself in the grand Main Hall. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with this central hub, as you'll be returning here frequently. The Goddess Statue, which requires the Unicorn Medal, Lion Medal, and Eagle Medal, is prominently located in the center of this hall.

• Main Hall Items:
  • Typewriter: Located near the entrance, useful for saving your progress.
  • Item Box: Also near the entrance, for storing excess items.
  • Map (RPD 1F): On the reception desk, essential for navigation.

Solving the Unicorn Statue Puzzle

Unlike Leon's scenario, where the Unicorn Medal is found elsewhere, Claire obtains her Unicorn Medal directly from a puzzle within the Main Hall itself. This puzzle is integrated into the Unicorn Statue, which stands proudly on the second floor balcony overlooking the main entrance.

1. Locate the Unicorn Statue: From the ground floor of the Main Hall, ascend either the east or west staircase to reach the second floor. The Unicorn Statue is situated on the north side of the balcony, directly opposite the entrance you used to enter the RPD.
2. Examine the Statue: Approach the Unicorn Statue and interact with it. You'll notice a panel with three distinct symbols.
3. Input the Correct Combination: The puzzle requires you to input a specific sequence of symbols. For Claire's scenario, the correct combination is:
   • Fish
   • Scorpion
   • Water Jug (or Amphora)

   Carefully select these symbols in the correct order. If you make a mistake, you can reset the puzzle and try again without penalty.

4. Retrieve the Unicorn Medal: Once the correct combination is entered, the statue will open, revealing the Unicorn Medal. Collect it immediately.

Next Steps: Inserting the Medal

With the Unicorn Medal in hand, your next immediate objective is to insert it into the Goddess Statue located on the ground floor of the Main Hall. This is one of three medals required to activate the statue and open the Secret Passage.

• Return to the Goddess Statue: Descend to the ground floor and approach the Goddess Statue in the center of the hall.
• Insert the Unicorn Medal: Interact with the statue and select the Unicorn Medal from your inventory to place it into one of the three slots.

Important Considerations & Tips

• Inventory Management: The Unicorn Medal occupies one inventory slot until it's placed in the Goddess Statue. Plan your inventory accordingly, especially early in the game when space is limited.
• Safety in the Main Hall: The Main Hall is generally a safe zone, free from immediate enemy threats. However, be aware that as the game progresses, certain events might introduce enemies into previously safe areas.
• Puzzle Clues: While the solution is provided here, in a blind playthrough, clues for this puzzle can sometimes be found on notes or documents scattered throughout the RPD. Always keep an eye out for such lore and hints.
• Consistency Across Scenarios: Remember that puzzle solutions and item locations can differ between Leon's and Claire's scenarios, as well as between A and B scenarios. Always refer to the correct guide for your current playthrough.

Summary of Items & Rewards

Obtaining the Unicorn Medal is a straightforward but essential step in Claire's campaign. By following these instructions, you'll quickly secure this key item and be one step closer to uncovering the RPD's secrets.
