Follow this Resident Evil walkthrough to solve the Control Room puzzle. Learn how to get the SHIELD KEY by interacting with the computer consoles and levers at the right time.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head down the ladder into the Control Room.
  2. 2
    Find the whiteboard on the table and note the number on it – it'll be either 1, 2, or 3. Remember this number!
  3. 3
    Make your way to the giant window. A shark will eventually break through, starting a countdown.
  4. 4
    As soon as the shark breaks the window and the countdown begins, press the computer switch located near the window.
  5. 5
    Immediately turn around (use the C-Stick to look) and make a diagonal run towards the other computer switch. Press that one.
  6. 6
    From this second console, head directly left to a lever and activate it.
  7. 7
    Now, go into the adjacent hallway. Turn left until you see a tank with red and green lights.
  8. 8
    When prompted to press BUTTON 1, 2, or 3, input the number you saw on the whiteboard earlier.
  9. 9
    Return to the second computer console you activated and press it again.
  10. 10
    Head back to the lever and pull it once more.
  11. 11
    Finally, go back to where the shark broke through the window and press that switch. If you're quick and followed these steps, you should be able to grab the SHIELD KEY when the clock hits 6:00!
Tips
  • Pay close attention to the number on the whiteboard; it's crucial for solving the puzzle.
  • Speed is key once the shark breaks the window. Don't hesitate!
