The Hall of Ablution Puzzle Solution in Resident Evil Village

Women are blind to male advances, but the poor shall take their chances to give their lord their bounty sown, so that soon the wine may flow.

  • The lord on a horse statue must face to the right towards the shrouded woman.
  • The shrouded woman statue must face forward, looking towards the woman holding a glass.
  • The noblewoman with a glass must face the door, so turn her to face the shrouded woman.
  • The three poor men must face the door, so make them turn towards the lord on a horse.

With the solution solved, the blood will drain from the pool and reveal a hatch that can be followed down to enter the Distillery and Tasting Room on B1 of Castle Dimitrescu.

If you want further guidance on why this is the solution to the puzzle, then think clearly about the word play:

"The women are blind to male advances", which means both women should face away from the men. "The poor shall take their chances to give their lord their bounty", which means the poor men should face their lord. "Soon the wine may flow", which means the hooded woman with the wine bottle should face the noblewoman with the wine glass.
