This guide will walk players through the moment-to-moment gameplay to escape the Duke’s dungeon cell trapbefore time runs out inResident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose.

How To Find The First Core

On waking up in the cell, Rose will see that the dungeon is covered, floor-to-ceiling, in gooeycores that she can use her powers onto destroy. However, given the sheer amount of cores,players cannot clear them all in the limited time that they are given. Luckily, Rose’s guardian angel, Michael, will help her to escape this trap.

Firstly, players must focus solely on cores that sit left from the barrel, but right from the cell bars. Moreover, the correct core will be found below the barrel, on the level with the box that it sits upon.The correct core is found just above the floor near the cell bars.
