Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways DLC: How to solve the shield wall puzzle in Chapter 4

By Billy Givens September 21, 2023

As you progress through Resident Evil 4‘s Separate Ways DLC, you’ll eventually need to help Luis score some ingredients for a fresh batch of medicine to aid in fending off the infection ailing both Leon and Ada. As you begin your quest to find the ingredients, you’ll first have to solve a lithograph puzzle to open a door leading into a room filled with shields on the wall. In this room, you’ll have to shoot specific shields in a specific order to open a cabinet revealing your first ingredient: red ink. Here’s how to solve the shield wall puzzle.

How to solve the shield wall puzzle in Chapter 4

After solving the lithograph puzzle and opening the door, you’ll enter an area where you can interact with a printing machine to get a piece of paper that hints at interacting with (shooting) the shields hanging all along the walls of the room. The problem is that, well, there are a lot of shields in this room. To find the correct shields, turn around from the printing machine and look at the fireplace along the wall behind you. To the left of this fireplace are the five shields from the picture that you printed.

You need to shoot three of these shields in the following order:

1: Bottom left
2: Top right
3: Bottom right

Upon shooting the three shields in the correct order, you’ll find that a drawer opens in the room, so go over and take out the red ink inside to cross one medicine ingredient off your list. Two to go!

Visions of Mana paints a promising picture of the RPG series’ return

Red-haired girl with horns and dragon wing in Visions of Mana

The vibrant settings and character designs in Visions of Mana instantly alerted me that I'd be knee-deep into fantasy, riding on the back of a giant black wolf into the grassy plains of Fallow Steppe. A lush landscape welcomed me as I chatted with my teammates on top of my mount and tussled with little woodland monsters.

I had this experience at this year's PAX East, where I went hands-on with a demo of the upcoming RPG. I never played previous Mana games, but I have enough experience with RPGs and real-time combat to name it one of the most gorgeous, action-packed games I played at the show. The shiny open-world and slick combat I experienced point to a strong comeback for the Mana series coming later this summer.
