How to Solve Castle Sword Puzzle in Resident Evil 4 Remake

In order to open the gate, you will need to obtain four swords. Three are easily obtainable in the room, but the last one will be behind the door on your left side. Opening the gate is very easy; you just need to light up all three symbols on the lock: Deer, Snake, and Eagle.

How to Open the Three Animal Symbols Gate in Resident Evil 4 Remake

You can light up the Deer icon by pulling on the chain on the left side of the gate. The Snake and Eagle are located beyond the door, but you can still turn on the lamps by shooting the hanging symbols on the right side of the room.

Don’t mistakenly shoot the Fish icon found on the left side of the locked chamber. If you do, the puzzle will reset, and you will have to do it again.
