PUZZLE SOLVING

Master every puzzle in Resident Evil: Revelations! Learn how to solve Control Box Puzzles, Fingerprint Scanners, and Door Welding challenges with this expert guide.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Resident Evil: Revelations and wondering about those tricky puzzles? Don't sweat it! This game throws a few different kinds at you, and they all make great use of your Nintendo 3DS's touch screen. We'll break down each type so you can breeze through them.

Control Box Puzzles

These are the most common ones you'll run into, especially in the earlier parts of the game. When you find a control box, you'll need to use your stylus to remove four screws. Just tap each one to get the metal cover off.

Once the box is open, you'll see a bunch of plugs with cables. Some of the sockets are lit up, and some aren't. Your goal here is to connect each plug to a lit-up socket. Make sure all the plugs are placed correctly so that all the cables connected to them light up. It's like a little wiring mini-game!

Fingerprint Scanners

You'll encounter these a bit later in the game. The scanner will show you a diagram on the bottom touch screen. You'll need to place your index finger on the right side of the diagram and hold it there firmly. The scanner will then try to read your fingerprint.

Quick Tip: If you're having trouble and keep getting a 'fail' message, it's usually because you're not pressing hard enough or you're moving your finger too much. Try applying a bit more pressure and keeping your finger as still as possible. It's all about a steady, firm scan!

Door Welding

Towards the very end of your adventure, you'll come across doors that need a bit of welding to open. The touch screen will display the door along with a specific line pattern. All you need to do is grab your stylus and carefully trace that line pattern on the screen. Nail the pattern, and Jill will weld the door right open!
