Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose is the first major DLC released for the award-winning game. You can now dive into the shoes of Rose and explore her powers. During the game, you will come across different puzzles to reach other items. If you want the Purifying Crystal, you must solve the Crystal Puzzle since the Purifying Crystal is locked up. Our guide will see you through each step to solve the Crystal Puzzle in Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose.
Crystal Puzzle Solution for Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose
The Purifying Crystal is a vital item in the game. As such, it makes sense that getting it isn’t straightforward. Once you track it down, you must solve the Crystal Puzzle to unlock the area that houses the Crystal.
In total, you will need three masks:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
Follow along with the individual guides to learn where to get each of these masks for the Crystal Puzzle in Resident Evil Village.
Bronze Mask Crystal Puzzle Location
For the Bronze Mask, you’ll first go through the dining room to find a chained shut door. To open it, you need a bolt cutter.
As you’re still in the dining room, head to the door on the left to go to the kitchen. Here you’ll battle a Face Eater, and once it’s dead, go through the door at the back of the kitchen to find the bolt cutter.
Now, return to the dining room and use the bolt cutter to cut the chain. You’ll enter the courtyard, and a cutscene plays that will show you the Bronze Mask.
At this point in Resident Evil Village, you can’t just get the Bronze Mask for the Crystal Puzzle. Rather, you must break the core that traps the mask, and to do so, you need a power amplifier. Called the RW Variant Flask 1, this is Rose’s first power upgrade.
To find this, head to the door that’s across the courtyard. You must get to the attic. To reach it, you’ll battle 2 Face Eaters along the way. When in the attic, you’ll enter another room to find the power amplifier.
Now, you can use this new power to reach the Bronze Mask and continue the Crystal Puzzle in Resident Evil Village.
Silver Mask Crystal Puzzle Location in Resident Evil Village
To find the Silver Mask, you must first solve the Statue Puzzle. Once solved, head down the stairs to the basement area. You’ll notice a hole you can crouch through. As you walk, you can find a note explaining the Silver Mask being near the end of the basement.
Once here, you’ll encounter numerous Mold enemies, but you can avoid them if you don’t want a fight.
Afterward, you’ll find the Silver Mask on a statue and can continue the Crystal Puzzle quest in Resident Evil Village.
Gold Mask Crystal Puzzle Location
This final mask can take the most time to acquire because there’s a specific room you must unlock to get to it.
First, unlock the Triocular Key, and you can even collect a shotgun when you do. Once you have that, head to the courtyard and then enter a door on the left side.
From this room, you can find the door for the Key. Using it will unlock the Opera Hall.
There’s another statue bust with the Gold Mask, but you can’t get it because the floor is drenched in that gross goop. So, you’re tasked with a mini puzzle on your way to solving the Crystal Puzzle in Resident Evil Village.
You’ll have to clear all the cores in the Opera Hall. This will knock furniture down so you can cross to the Gold Mask and finish the puzzle.
