Sit On The Correct Chairs
Puzzles in Resident Evil were always challenging for anyone to solve. While solving the Dining Room puzzle might be a very short task, this still requires you to brainstorm a bit by looking around the dining hall. To solve this puzzle, Leon and Ashley need tosit on the correct chairsat the dining table.
As soon as you enter the Dining Room, you will see two tables with two chairs on each side. You will also find the Serpent Head that you are looking for on the right side of the room, locked inside a cage. Going further into the Room, you will findtwo portraits(shown in the image above) of a man and a woman each on the wall at the end of this Room.These portraits are the keyto solving this puzzle.
If you look closely at the portraits, you will see the lord and the lady of the castle sitting at the same table that you just observed. Investigating more closely, you will know that they have a similararrangement of food and utensilsin front of them in the portrait. In the portrait, thelordcan be seen withknives,spoons,and forkson his left and right sides. He also has anapkinwith anempty glass, awine bottle, andbreadon a plate before him.
On the other side, the lady can be seen with anapkin,knives,spoons, andforks on both sides of the plate. However, she hasno wine bottleorany kind of foodin front of her. After observing the whole setup, you will need to get back to observing the table again. Look for chairs with similar arrangements in front of them. You need to find chairs with a similar setup and sit on the chair with the most resemblance to the lord’s portrait. Before sitting on your chair, order Ashley to sit on the chair resembling the lady’s portrait.
To make it easier for you, Leon will need to sit on the first chair on the side of the lady’s portrait. On the other hand, Ashley must sit on the second-closest chair to the Serpent Head at the entrance of the Room, which is on the opposite side of the chair that Leon needs to sit on.
Once this is done, Leon and Ashley both need to ring the bell to unlock the cage containing the Serpent’s Head. Press the bell first, and Ashley will follow you to do the same. If the cage does not open, observe the portraits more closely and look for the correct chair.
If everything is done correctly, a cut scene will appear where Leon and Ashley both will press the bell together. It will unlock the cage containing the Serpent Head and enable the option to pick it up. Pick up the head and continue your mission of collecting the other missing heads.
