A helping hand with this six-pointed puzzle!

The Resident Evil series is legendary for its secrets and puzzles where innocuous items can be combined to uncover glittering treasures. Not all of these are story-related however, and one such optional puzzle in Resident Evil 4 Remake involves Hexagon Pieces A, B and C.

Once you’ve found these Hexagon Pieces, you can slot them into a special stone pedestal and solve a sliding block puzzle for a decent reward.

Much like the blue notice requests scattered throughout the game, collecting the Hexagon Pieces is completely optional, but it’s well worth your time.

Here’s where to find all three Hexagon Pieces in Resident Evil 4 and solve the stone pedestal sliding puzzle.

You most likely found Hexagon Piece A on your own, because once you reach chapter 4 it’s right next to the Merchant by the lake.

To lay your hands on Hexagon Piece B, make your way to the back of the Fish Farm and open the large chest in the corner.

It’s probably easier to clear this area out of enemies before you go hunting as it’s also where you can find some vipers for that side quest.

Finally, in the Small Cave Shrine, press the bottom left symbol, bottom right symbol, and left-hand symbol to open the door.

This gives you the second head for the main story quest, but also Hexagon Piece C in the same room.

The stone pedestal is found next to the boat on the lake, between the firing range and Fish Farm, under the wooden structure with the ladder.

Slot all three pieces into the pedestal and you’ll be presented with an intimidating-looking sliding puzzle, but it’s actually easier to solve than it looks.

To solve the hexagonal puzzle, just rotate the left piece once, then the top piece once and the picture should look like this:

The pedestal will then open and you can grab a Depraved Idol which sells for a hefty 15k at the Merchant.
