Solving the Lion Statue puzzle in the Resident Evil 2 Remake is a crucial milestone for surviving the early hours inside the Raccoon City Police Department. Located on the second floor of the Main Hall, this statue guards one of the three required medallions needed to unlock the secret escape route under the Goddess Statue. Understanding how to align the correct symbols will save you precious time and resources during your playthrough.
First Run Lion Statue Combination
During a standard Scenario A or First Run playthrough, finding the solution requires checking the Officer's Notebook. Interact with the dials at the base of the statue to input the code. Set the dials to display the Lion, Leafy Branch, and Bird symbols in that exact sequence to receive the Lion Medallion.
Second Run Lion Statue Solution
If you are playing through Scenario B or the Second Run, the combination changes to increase the difficulty. Players can discover the updated code by developing a specific film roll found in the Lounge. For this run, the correct sequence to input is Crown, Torch, and Bird.
Where to Use the Lion Medallion
Once you collect the Lion Medallion from the base of the statue, head down to the main floor of the Main Hall. Insert the medallion directly into the slot beneath the Goddess Statue to store it safely. Unlocking this slot brings you one step closer to opening the underground facility and progressing the story.
Tips for Managing Police Station Puzzles
Placing key items into their respective slots as soon as you find them helps free up crucial inventory slots for ammunition and health items. Always keep track of whether you are playing a First Run or Second Run scenario, as puzzle codes differ significantly between playthroughs. Staying organized ensures you can solve remaining station puzzles efficiently while avoiding dangerous encounters with lingering zombies.
