Wall with Four Slots not working
Ive tried reloading a older save, restarting the game, even loading a older save from a previous chapter and i still cant get the puzzle to work. Even checked to make sure i had the correct puzzle combo and i do. For some reason though the puzzle just wont open the door once its been completed, just wants you to keep moving the tiles around. Anyone else running into this problem?
Edit: Figured out the problem so if anyone else has problems they know how to fix it. First put the 3 pieces in the wall in correct solution. Then take the bottom one (blue armor) and swap it with the same like tile correct side up to complete the puzzle. its like the game doesn't register the original tile in the wall as a piece or atleast the armor side of the tile

Yeah I had the same thing, like I didn't check if the solution was correct, but I had red helmet left, red shield up, blue sword right and blue armor down. Didn't open the door, so swapped the armor and sword. No change.

Kept randomly swapping stones and rotating them so they matched the sigils/colours on the door and it randomly worked; with the exact same pattern I started with. Maybe there's something on the actual stones you can examine under the keys menu? But you can't remove them once you put them in the door which is another thing I tried.

Why don't you post a screenshot of what you think the correct solution is and we'll tell you if you got it.

no examine is not a mechanic. there are no items that can be interacted with

i already know i have the correct solution. i wouldn't have come here and opened a discussion if i had the wrong solution. Its plastered all over google

The same thing happened to me but if you just fiddle with it long enough it can just start working like it's supposed to.

Oh I didn't mean interact with like in other RE games, I just thought the 4 stones might be distinguishable in some way by examining them.

This one confused me too.

Notice the hexagons and squares on the tiles. This should help.

Ahhh, is that what we're missing?! I randomly managed to get the door open so I didn't actually see what the solution was.
