Resident Evil 4 Remake: Four Swords Puzzle Solution

screenrant.com:

Upon reaching the Treasury in , players will be presented with a puzzle involving four swords that must be solved to progress. In the room, there will be four pieces of artwork depicting a narrative of a knight and his sword. These pieces of art will be the key to solving the puzzle.

To proceed past the treasury, four swords must be placed into the slots on the art pieces in the correct order. However, three will already contain swords that must be removed and collected. This includes the Golden Sword, Iron Sword, and Rusted Sword. One of the swords will be missing from the artwork and must be found before the puzzle can be completed.

Upon examining the area, the last sword can be seen locked behind a gate in a separate room. In the center of this gate, there will be three animal engravings depicted, which will be the key to opening it. Each engraving has an associated gong with the same animal on it that must be activated. When the correct gong is triggered, the engraving of the associated animal on the gate will highlight to indicate it has been activated. All the engravings must be activated in order for the gate to open and the Bloodied Sword to be collected.

To trigger the first one, there is a rope next to the gate that must be pulled. After the rope is pulled, the first of the animal engravings on the gate will highlight. However, the remaining two will have to be triggered another way as the gongs remain out of reach on the other side. Players must review which engravings remain by checking the gate and then shooting the associated gongs on the other side. Once they have all been shot and activated, the gate will open, and the final sword can be retrieved.​​​​​​​ Players will eventually need to solve this puzzle
