Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways – Lithograph Puzzle Guide

Resident Evil fans are no strangers to puzzles and riddles, and the latest remake of Resident Evil 4 is no exception. The base game was filled to the brim with head-scratching puzzles, and the recent Separate Ways expansion just added more to it.

The DLC brought back the Lithograph Puzzle that Leon solved in the base game. The puzzle begins in Chapter 4, where Ada leaves Luis to find the three ingredients. This is one spot where you could find yourself stuck. Follow these exact steps and you will progress ahead in no time.

Lithographic Stone B

You should grab the second Lithographic Stone first, as it’s very close by. When you see the puzzle wall, just turn around. You will see the Stone on the bench, right next to a bunch of boxes.

Lithographic Stone A

To grab the first Stone, you need to go back to the hallway with the window and turn right. Move the fallen cabinet in your path and head straight until you reach the room that has both the Save Point and the Merchant Shop. Look to your left. That’s where you will find the first Lithographic Stone.

Solve the Puzzle

Now that you are in possession of both Stones, head back to the Puzzle wall and follow the exact steps mentioned below:

1. Insert Stone B on the right side
2. Insert Stone A on the bottom side
3. Take out the left Stone, flip it to make the red side face up, and insert it into the top slot.
4. Take out the top Stone, and insert it into the right slot with the black side facing up.
5. Take out Stone B from the right side and place it on the bottom slot with the black side facing up.
6. Take out Stone A from the bottom and place it on the left slot with the red side facing up

The end result should look like the above picture.

Find the Ink

The puzzle wall will now open revealing a hallway. Head straight. You will reach a room with a binding table in front of you. Interact with its crank and pick up the note. Next, look left, and you will notice five shields placed on the wall. Shoot the shields in the following order:

1. The bottom left shield
2. The top right shield
3. The bottom right shield

After this, you’ll notice a drawer conveniently opening on the bookshelf behind you. Approach the drawer and retrieve the Red Ink.
