Resident Evil 4 Remake Crystal Marble Puzzle Guide:
Found in the latter portion of chapter 2, the Resident Evil 4 Remake crystal marble puzzle is proving to be a rather confusing one for many. The idea of solving it is simple, as all you have to do is align the sphere, so it matches the shape of the dragonfly (?) behind it. It sounds easy, right? Well, better said than done, as many, including ourselves, have found it almost impossible to solve on our first attempt.
If that is the case, and you’ve wasted time trying to solve it, then it’s a possibility it’s not actually you, as many have confirmed that this puzzle is bugged.
So before we solve it, the first thing you’ll want to do is save at the typewriter that should be behind you.
Once you’ve done this, press the options button and load the save you just created. This will clear the bug if you’ve been affected by it. Now head back to the door.
So there isn’t a lot you actually have to do to align the sphere with the symbol. Push the left joystick up until all the balls are cluttered closely together like below.
Once you get here, you should only have to rotate it a few times to form the symbol. It should look like this.
Now rotate it completely so that it aligns symbol.
There you go! The door will now open, allowing you to continue to progress through the game.
Honestly, if you were having trouble, it was likely due to the bug that prevented the symbol from aligning properly. At least there’s a workaround for the time being until Capcom has issued a proper fix.
