Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways DLC: How to open the door in Chapter 2

By Billy Givens September 21, 2023

Resident Evil 4‘s Separate Ways DLC tells a parallel story that shows what Ada Wong was up to during Leon’s adventure. And although her grappling hook provides some fun new mobility mechanics that can help her reach new heights, she’ll still need to solve some puzzles to proceed through certain barriers. The first real puzzle to pop up in the Separate Ways journey is in Chapter 2, when your progress is impeded by a door that can only be unlocked by pressing specific symbols on a mechanism beside it. We’ll tell you the correct symbols to press below so that you can get through the door and continue Ada’s expedition.

When you arrive at the door with the mechanism to its left, you’ll find that you can only press down three symbols before the puzzle resets. As such, you’ll need to press the correct symbols all in one go for the door to unlock. And while you can turn around and scan the area for some clues if you’d like, we’ve actually got the correct order ready for you to go below. Even better, you don’t have to press any of the symbols first or last, so just follow the image below in any order you’d like.

When you’ve pressed the correct symbols on the mechanism, you’ll find that the door opens for you and allows you to continue through Chapter 2. Don’t get too comfortable, though – there are some much trickier puzzles coming later in the game.

Should you pick Claude or Rena in Star Ocean: The Second Story R

Star Ocean: The Second Story R

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a remake of 1998's second entry in the space-centric role-playing universe of Star Ocean, but despite its many improvements, the core design of the original game remains almost fully intact. This includes its offering of dual protagonists, one of which you'll have to pick as your main character at the beginning of a playthrough. If you're wondering which you should pick first, we'll give you some information below without going too far into spoiler territory.
Should you pick Claude or Rena first?
Regardless of whether you pick Claude or Rena for your playthrough of Star Ocean: The Second Story R, the game's mainline narrative will remain the same from beginning to end. However, the two characters will witness many major events from their own perspective, giving you a bit of additional insight into how they feel about what's happening. Additionally, they'll each have access to one exclusive recruitable character. This means that you'll have to play through the game twice if you want to see the full story of the two recruitable characters and see what they bring to the table in combat.

Here are three key things to keep in mind when choosing the character for your first playthrough:

How to show all collectibles in Alan Wake 2 with the Mayor Setter Charm

Mayor Setter

There are a lot of collectibles to find in Alan Wake 2, so you're probably wondering if there's a way to show them all on your map. The answer is yes, but only when having the Mayor Setter Charm equipped, which you can't obtain until pretty late in the game by visiting Mayor Setter himself. When that time comes, you may be shocked to find that Mayor Setter is actually a dog. Less shocking, however, is that you'll probably want to pet him.

Luckily, in addition to being a pleasant experience, petting this political canine will accomplish multiple useful things. For starters, you'll earn the trophy or achievement called "The Nice Things in Life," which marks one more thing off your list for 100% completion. But perhaps most importantly, Mayor Setter will bestow upon you the aforementioned Mayor Setter Charm. When wearing this charm in one of your charm slots, you'll be able to spot the locations of basically any collectible on the map, making tracking everything down significantly easier without a guide.

Mayor Setter will spawn in the game in Return 6 after you've spoken with your colleagues in the police station and selected to continue exploring instead of passing the point of no return. At this point, you can return to your car and drive to Watery to find that Mayor Setter is sitting on the stage inside Suomi Hall where you can interact with him to earn the Mayor Setter Charm, which you can then equip to show all unfound collectibles on the map.
