Blue Chest Box Puzzles

Detailed guide to solving all blue chest gem puzzles in Resident Evil (1996) for both Chris and Jill, including item rewards like ammo and herbs.

Throughout the save rooms in Rebirth Mode, you'll find blue chests with gems on them. You need to arrange them in a certain order with the stylus to open up the blue chest. Each chest has either ammo or a healing item to help you along the way. These steps must be followed in order or else you will throw the whole thing off. Here are the solutions for each blue chest:
