How to Solve Church Puzzle Easily in Resident Evil 4 Remake- Resident Evil 4 Remake 2023 is a much improved version of the original. I instantly fell in love the first time I played the original game and this one is no different.

Resident Evil 4 was the first game in the series to introduce a newer third-person over the shoulders camera angle and it worked wonders for the franchise. However, there were some flaws in the game which were removed by Capcom in the 2023 remake making it one of the best titles of the year yet.

Apart from the hordes of zombies that you keep killing in the game, Resident Evil is by no means a braindead shooter game. You seriously need to use your head as the game challenges you with difficult puzzles now and then.

What is the Church Puzzle?

Ashley is locked in the Church by the Los Illuminados Cult. After you enter the church you would see an altar with a platform inform of it that has 3 gears. You need to rotate the gears to create the Illuminados symbol on the wall.

However, it is easier said than done. The gears are of 3 colors- Red, Blue, and Green. When you rotate one of the gears the dial with the same color as the gear rotates. Basically, all the 3 dials are messed up in the image and you would have to align them correctly to reveal the Los Illuminados symbol.

How to Solve the Church Puzzle Quickly?

If you randomly try to turn the dials, it won’t work and you would never be able to align all 3. Even if you manage to do that, it would take you a lot of time. Resident Evil 4 Remake rewards you for completing the game quickly so we cannot afford to spend so much time on puzzles.

Here is what you need to do. This is a pretty simple trick that you can follow.

Look at the picture and notice that I have highlighted the top of the symbol. This is where you need to focus. Turn the Green dial until it aligns with the top of the symbol.

Once it does you can easily rotate the other dials to fit within the shape. Just keep rotating to see which one fits in the white spaces. There is no formula that you can remember and therefore the best way to do it is to align at least one dial with the top of the symbol first.

If you manage to do that the rest of the puzzle becomes super easy.

The solution should look like this. This is one of the easiest puzzles in the game if you ask me. It only looks really tough and all you need is a different perspective. Solving this would unlock the gate and you can progress further in the story.

That is the solution to the Church puzzle in the game. I hope now you will be able to solve it in under a minute.
