A Pokémon Fan Might Have Just Cracked Resident Evil Requiem's Toughest Puzzle, But No One Knows How!
For days, players have been scratching their heads over the incredibly complex Final Puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem. Now, a dedicated fan, known online as Gengar Collects and primarily recognized for their passion for Pokémon trading cards, has presented compelling video evidence that they've conquered this formidable challenge. The kicker? Even Gengar Collects isn't entirely sure how they managed it!
This puzzle has been a massive undertaking, with thousands of players attempting to unravel its mysteries even before the game officially launched. Gengar Collects shared a treasure trove of screenshots and video clips on YouTube, strongly suggesting they've successfully navigated the labyrinthine quest. But here's where it gets tricky: the solution seems to involve possessing an item that players typically can't acquire.
"I don't even know if it was how it was supposed to be done," Gengar Collects admitted in one of their videos, which aimed to guide others through their process. The core of their method involved holding a specific item, Marie's Doll, and then entering the puzzle's now-notorious code. This action, apparently, unlocked the completion of the challenge, for which they also provided photographic proof.
But the million-dollar question remains: how does one obtain Marie's Doll? The online community has been in a frenzy, with Gengar Collects actively engaging in discussions on YouTube comments to help fellow players. They've shared screenshots indicating where they believe they found the doll, a location distinct from another doll found in a cell. Crucially, Gengar Collects is playing on Xbox Series X/S, which lessens the likelihood of them using a cheat or hack to spawn the item, as it seems to be absent for other players.
Further visual evidence, including close-up shots of the doll in their inventory, has been provided at the request of other players. These images reveal no hidden markings or clues on the doll itself, unlike the doll found in the cell which has an inscription. This lack of additional information only deepens the mystery and lends credibility to Gengar Collects' claim.
So, what's the prevailing theory? It's believed that Gengar Collects genuinely solved the Final Puzzle, but perhaps through an unintentional action during their gameplay that triggered the doll's appearance. This elusive step is now the focus of intense investigation by the community, with many trying to replicate it. Of course, there's also the possibility that the doll's appearance was simply a bug or a random glitch.
On the bright side, players now have confirmation of the puzzle's conclusion and know that once Marie's Doll is in hand, the challenge can be overcome. The downside? Gengar Collects, like everyone else, is still trying to figure out what specific action led to them acquiring the doll in the first place.
The hunt continues on platforms like Reddit, where fans are pooling their knowledge. As one player aptly summarized, "Inputting the code is the last step, but you need Marie's doll. That's the step we need to focus [on]."
Speculation is rife, with fans pondering if the doll's appearance is linked to how often they interacted with a character named Emily, or even if flushing toilets with specific numbers (like 204, the room number Grace and her mother stayed in) could be a trigger. What do you think? Could a seemingly insignificant action unlock this final secret? Or is this a case of a rare glitch granting one player an unintended advantage?
