Resident Evil Requiem has an insanely complex Easter Egg titled "The Final Puzzle", I have spent countless hours attempting to decode it. These are all my findings: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD - I recommend reading AFTER you finish the "Rhodes Care Home" section of the game as there are some slight spoilers here. You have been warned: This puzzle started when I first noticed that the "severed hand" that you can pick up right after escaping the basement gets a checkmark in your inventory if you finish Rhodes, meaning that it has a use SOMEWHERE in Rhodes that I missed. "The Final Puzzle" is in the challenges menu and its description says "Let the sweet pair hear the voice". My first finding was that you can actually scan the severed hand in the blood analyzer, revealing a secret message "Let's Play" and a series of letters. After consulting a doctor friend of mine, she was able to translate this into a message that simply says "GLITCH". I had no idea what to do with this but curiously, I did notice that the hourglass that you can find in Victor's office has a secret message that says "U = 380,000". Later, I noticed on the side of the blood analyzer it says "G = 150000000", and the final clue that made it all make sense was in the files, in one file about Grace's blood analysis it says "C = 4.2 ly", this was the hint I needed to crack this. I am an aerospace engineer, I recognized that ly is not any real measurement for blood or fluid, it's LIGHT YEARS. So what is 4.2 light years away from earth? The alpha centauri system, A STAR. Let's go back to "U = 380,000" so what is 380,000 km away from earth? the MOON. and G = 150000000? Applying the same logic, thats almost the exact distance to the SUN. As you are finding the quartz in Rhodes, each one is hidden behind a puzzle that has the exact Moon/Sun/Star key to unlock them, so first I checked the west wing and found nothing but going to the east wing, I freaked out when I saw that its interactable. the machine is GLITCHED. just like the original message from the blood analyzer said. So, now that I knew C = Star, G = Sun and U = Moon, I went back to the original message and noticed that RNA codon only uses a mix of the letters C, G, U and A. I decided to ignore A as I didn't have any value for it and entered the password exactly as that screen with that order, so entering "Sun Sun Star Sun Moon Star Sun Moon Sun Moon Star Moon" led to... A very, VERY creepy little girl laughing. I thought this was absolutely it for the easter egg, and that something just got activated somewhere in Rhodes but after searching the entire area up and down multiple times, I have found nothing. After finally getting the opportunity to speak to other reviewers about this mystery, I've found only about 3 people have actually gotten this far pre-launch and discovered it themselves, most were working within groups. and I seem to be the first person in the world that found the values for C, U, G, and its meanings rather than trial and erroring it. So to say it's insane that I solved it this much with no real group is an amazing feat and I am very proud of it. This puzzle is not finished, we have been looking into various codes and numbers around the game. my personal theory is that there is another code that we can enter into that machine with Sun/Star/Moon, and that the laugh is basically Capcom mocking us for thinking it would be this easy. How we get that code, I have 0 clue. The first person who solves this will earn their place in Resident Evil history, good luck continuing this hunt!
