Navigating the ominous halls of the Police Station in the Resident Evil 2 Remake requires solving several key environmental puzzles to progress through the story. Central to unlocking the underground escape route are three essential medallions hidden within distinct statues around the building. Knowing the correct symbol combinations for both standard and alternative playthroughs saves valuable time and resources while avoiding deadly threats.
1st Run Scenario Statue Solutions
During the primary playthrough, players encounter the Lion Statue on the second floor of the Main Hall. Entering the sequence of Lion, Leafy Branch, and Bird grants the Lion Medallion. This initial puzzle provides a straightforward introduction to the station's hidden mechanisms.
The Unicorn Statue can be accessed in the Lounge on the first floor after acquiring key items to navigate through the Library. Entering the symbols Fish, Scorpion, and Vase releases the second medallion. The final statue, the Maiden Statue, resides on the third floor inside the West Storage Room behind a barricade requiring explosives. Setting its dial to Woman, Bow, and Snake reveals the final medallion.
2nd Run B Scenario Variations
Players stepping into the 2nd Run scenario will discover that the answers change to challenge experienced survivalists. The officer's notebook still provides subtle guidance, but the answers reflect completely fresh combinations. Locating these updated solutions remains crucial for securing a swift escape.
For the Lion Statue in the 2nd Run, turn the dials to match Crown, Torch, and Bird. The Unicorn Statue in the Lounge updates its required combination to Children, Scale, and Worm. Lastly, the Maiden Statue solution changes to Ram, Harp, and Bird to complete the set.
Tips for Entering Codes and Placing Medallions
Before attempting the Maiden Statue puzzle, make sure to collect both the Battery from the STARS Office and the Detonator from the Operations Room. Detonating the wall barricade triggers an immediate threat nearby, so prepare your inventory before retrieving the reward.
Once all three items are in your possession, return to the Main Hall on the ground level to insert them into the secret passage pedestal. Placing every medallion opens the secret doorway into the Underground Facility below. Managing your inventory effectively during this phase ensures you leave enough room for ammunition and defense items.
