Navigating the terrifying halls of the Police Station in Resident Evil 2 Remake changes drastically when playing through the 2nd Run scenario. Returning players quickly discover that key puzzle solutions from the standard campaign no longer apply. To unlock the secret underground passageway early on, players need to know the specific combination for the primary medallion puzzle.
Where to Find the Lion Statue in 2nd Run
The Lion Statue is situated in its familiar location on the second floor of the Main Hall. You can access it directly by taking the main staircase up from the central lobby. Approaching the base of the statue reveals three adjustable dials that require a unique symbol combination to unlock the Lion Medallion.
Resident Evil 2 Lion Statue 2nd Run Combination
In the B Scenario or 2nd Run, the solution changes from the standard story mode. To solve this puzzle, rotate the dials to display Crown, Torch, and Bird. Once you align these three specific symbols properly, the mechanism will unlock and drop the Lion Medallion into your inventory.
How to Find the Solution In-Game
If you prefer discovering the code through natural exploration, you must search the Lounge area. Inside the Lounge, players can locate a tin box containing a roll of film titled Lion Statue. Developing this film roll in the Dark Room on the first floor reveals a photograph displaying the correct Crown, Torch, and Bird sequence.
Using the Lion Medallion to Progress
After acquiring the Lion Medallion, take it down to the central Goddess Statue located on the main floor of the lobby. Inserting the medallion into its respective slot brings you one step closer to unlocking the secret escape hatch. Combining this with the Unicorn and Maiden medallions enables players to proceed safely into the underground facility.
