Resident Evil Requiem's Final Puzzle finally solved

Resident Evil Requiem's so-called Final Puzzle left players baffled within days of release and even spawned a dedicated subreddit. Two creators, Kyro and Rantsycancy, published a YouTube walkthrough on March 2 that many now accept as the solution; a similar guide by Gengar Collects appeared on March 1 but was initially dismissed.

The oddly specific sequence mixes gameplay and save-file steps. You must wait at the body bag drop-off pool for 15 minutes without killing any zombies, then move to the Care Center's West Wing and flush the bathroom toilet eight times. Progress through the story until you escape Victor's self-destructing lair, pick up Marie's pristine porcelain doll in the red flood, finish the game with the doll in your inventory, start a new save, carry Emily to the braille puzzle box and enter the code—after which you hear a giggle and receive a congratulations message.

Reactions ranged from baffled to amused.
