Navigating the eerie corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil 2 requires more than just bullet management and quick reflexes. To unlock the secret passage under the Main Hall, players must gather three distinct medallions hidden inside complex mechanical monuments. Understanding the exact solutions for both gameplay scenarios ensures a smooth escape without unnecessary backtracking through zombie-infested hallways.
The Lion Statue Combinations
The Lion Statue is the most accessible monument, situated directly on the second floor of the Main Hall. Finding this solution early allows players to secure their first medallion and reduces inventory clutter quickly. The required input changes depending on whether you are running a standard campaign or the more challenging secondary path.
For the first scenario, players must input the Lion, Twig, and Eagle symbols into the dial. If you are playing the alternative B scenario, the correct code switches to Crown, Flame, and Bird. Aligning these correctly will instantly release the Lion Medallion into your inventory.
The Unicorn Statue Combinations
Located in the Lounge on the second floor next to the Library, the Unicorn Statue requires cautious navigation past active threats. Players often encounter narrow hallways while trying to reach this room, making quick puzzle execution absolutely vital. The symbols needed here are deeply tied to the clues left behind by the fallen police officers.
In the standard A scenario, rotating the dials to Fish, Scorpion, and Vase will unlock the mechanism. When tackling the B scenario, the solution alters to Twin Birds, Small Scale, and Worm. Inputting these sequences smoothly grants you the Unicorn Medallion needed for the central altar.
The Maiden Statue Combinations
The Maiden Statue is located in the West Storage Room behind a barricade that requires a detonator to breach. Because of the immediate danger following the explosion, knowing the combination beforehand saves precious time. The heavily damaged gears on this monument can make reading the individual symbols slightly difficult during tense moments.
To solve the standard puzzle, align the dials to represent the Woman, Bow, and Snake icons. For the tougher B scenario playthrough, the puzzle solution shifts to Ram, Harp, and Bird. Once the final medallion is retrieved, you can return to the Main Hall goddess statue to open the secret escape route.
