While the design of modern Resident Evil games has evolved in a major way over the past few years, the focus on puzzle-solving and exploration remains a core aspect of the experience in Capcom’s latest. You’ll frequently be required to find certain items in order to progress the story or open the way to hidden treasures. However, the solutions aren’t always well telegraphed. Here’s how to reach the Riverbank Treasure House in Resident Evil Village if you’re stuck.
How to Reach Riverbank Treasure House in Resident Evil Village
First things first, you’ll need to lower the drawbridge to the northwest of the Lone Road. This, however, can only be done with the Crank, which you obtain after completing the fourth area of the game. Once you have the crank, head to the drawbridge and lower it. Go across it and enter the boat down by the water. Take the boat up the river, and then disembark.
You’ll be on the other side of a raised bridge you passed back before you entered Castle Dimitrescu. Lower it with the Crank, and then go across it toward a house. Before reaching the house, you should see a doorway on your right.
Head through the doorway and continue down the path until you encounter a torch puzzle similar to the one you completed in the castle. Solve it the same way – by hitting the lit brazer into the unlit torches to light them – and they’ll open up three doors; two on the sides of the room, and one directly ahead of the room.
The basic enemies from the Castle will begin pouring out of the side doors one at a time, and you’ll need to light one of them on fire by hitting the moving torch into them.
Once one is on fire, guide it over through the doorway directly ahead of the main room. Inside will be a torch you’ll need to light to open another door. Lead the enemy into the torch, and it will go up in flames. When this torch is lit, a door leading to the path going further into the castle will be opened. Head further in, and inside you’ll find the Golden Lady Statue treasure.
