This Walkthrough will guide you through all Puzzles in House Beneviento of Resident Evil 8 Village. This is basically a Puzzle House. A bewitched doll will play some tricks on you and locks you into the house. You are then trapped in a doll room and must solve a series of puzzles to escape the house.
House Beneviento Step 1 – Doll Puzzle
After you pick up the yellow flask and the lights go out, there will be a doll on the table in front of you. Examine the doll’s upper right arm to get the Silver Key and pull out the left leg to get the Winding Key. You can also pull the ring off the doll’s left hand but this is optional.
House Beneviento Step 2 – Ring & Door Code to Exit Doll Room
If you pulled the ring off the doll you can use the Silver Key on the door to the lab, use the running tap water to clean the ring, examine it from the inventory and look at the inside of the ring to see the date 05-29-11. This is the code to the doll room door. But technically, you can skip all this and escape the room right away, the code is always the same.
House Beneviento Step 3 – Music Box Cylinders Puzzle
In the hallway you will have to make a detour to a side room with a Music Box in it. Here you need the Winding Key that you got from the doll. Then you must put the 5 Cylinders in correct order. There are scratchings on the Cylinders that form a pattern, simply replicate how it is on the screenshot shown below. Quickest way: Cylinder 2 to Slot 1 / Cylinder 4 to Slot 2 / Cylinder 3 to Slot 5 / Cylinder 4 to Slot 3. The numbering is in the order from left to right (1 is furthest left, 5 is furthest right).
House Beneviento Step 4 – Filmstrip Projector Puzzle
Opening the Music Box will give you Tweezers. Use these on the Doll’s Mouth to get a Filmstrip, then go back through the hallway and enter the Study at the end. Place the Filmstrip on the projector. You must rearrange 5 Filmstrips to put them in a specific order. The correct order of the 5 Film Strips is: 1) Plush Toy > 2) Village Book > 3) Baby > 4) Music Box > 5) Wedding Ring. The numbering here implies 1 is furthest left and 5 is furthest right.
House Beneviento Step 5 – Medallion Symbol Door Puzzle
After the Film is done playing a secret passage opens up in the Study. Enter there and pick up the scissors at the end of it, a doll is holding them. Use the scissors to cut the tape and crouch through. Head back to the doll room and use the scissors on its upper body to extract the Brass Medallion. Place this Medallion on the spinning discs door in the same room. There are 2 more discs you must spin into position. Replicate the screenshots below. The top left must show a raven with its wing on the left and no wing on the right. The bottom disc must show 3 golden closed eyes.
House Beneviento Step 6 – Breaker Box & Fuse Puzzle
Follow the path behind the spinning discs door to find a well and the Breaker Box Key in it. Now backtrack through the corridor to the elevator. On your way there, a monster will spawn that chases you around. Circle around the building, through the doll room, lab, and study. This way you will lose the monster. Use the key to open the Breaker Box, which will give you the Relief of a Child. Use this on the door in the hallway behind the Study. This leads to a room with the Fuse. After picking up the Fuse the monster will hunt you again and you must hide under the bed. When the monster is moving away from the bed, quickly run for the elevator to place the Fuse. The monster will catch up to you, but you can go into the library and circle around the desk, then quickly hit the elevator button to escape.
House Beneviento Step 7 – Donna and Angie Boss Fight
The last step is to fight the evil doll. It’s a unique kind of boss fight. You must find the doll 3 times and press / to interact with it. There are many other dolls in the area to distract you, but the one you need looks very distinct with a white wedding dress. The first spawn is ALWAYS in the upstairs side room. Go upstairs and through the door to the right of the bright windows. Then the doll will change position. Here’s a picture of it:
It will leave behind some blood trails on the wall so you can track it more easily. It should almost always spawn inside the kitchen / living room area. Either on the floor of the kitchen, or next to the couch in the living room. If it’s not there, check the foyer.
The third spawn should be in front of the elevator, seen on the picture here.
With the evil doll defeated you can now freely leave House Beneviento.
