Navigating through the eerie corridors of Rhodes Hill Care Center in Resident Evil Requiem presents survival horror fans with classic environmental riddles. Among these challenges, the Central Hall door puzzle stands out as a major milestone requiring players to collect three distinct celestial quartzes. Finding the hidden clues and correct button sequences for each puzzle box is essential for unlocking the path forward.
Solving the Chairman's Office Puzzle Box
The initial celestial puzzle box is located inside the Chairman's Office on the second floor of the West Wing. To reveal the secret combination, players must retrieve a pencil from the back desk and use it to shade the blank notepad resting on the lounge table.
Shading the notepad uncovers the sequence needed to open the safe. Inputting the combination Moon, Sun, Star, and Moon unlocks the puzzle box successfully. Completing this step awards you the Moon Quartz, which fits directly into the main exit door in the Central Hall.
Opening the Lead Researcher's Puzzle Box
Moving over to the East Wing, players will discover a second puzzle box inside the Lead Researcher's Office. Before interacting with the box, you must locate a bottle of Corrosive from the nearby Conference Room to melt away its sturdy padlock.
Once the lock is destroyed, players can inspect three research photographs positioned around the room. Combining the background details from these photos reveals the solution: Star, Sun, Moon, and Sun. Claiming the Sun Quartz brings players one step closer to escaping the facility safely.
Decoding the Security Manager's Office Puzzle
To obtain the final item, you must gain access to the Security Manager's Office in the East Wing. After retrieving necessary level keycards and items, players encounter a puzzle box covered in Braille characters.
Because Grace cannot read Braille on her own, you must safely escort Emily to the room to translate the symbols. The journal in the room reveals the input code as Star, Star, Moon, and Sun. Emily's assistance triggers the final lock release, granting you the crucial Star Quartz.
Unlocking the Central Hall Door
With all three celestial gems gathered, return to the Guard Office area in the Central Hall. Insert the Moon Quartz, Sun Quartz, and Star Quartz into their matching indents on the reinforced door.
Placing the final piece unseals the entryway and allows Grace to transition into the Courtyard. Following these systematic puzzle solutions ensures a smooth progression through the opening chapter of the game.
