How to solve the church puzzle in Resident Evil 4 Remake

The first step in solving the church puzzle is to grab the Blue Dialdown the right-hand side passageway as you enter the main doors—you can find it inside a cupboard at the end. Now, head to the altar itself—be sure to grab the small key on the table while there—and pull the lever to the left side of the altar on the wall. This opens up the lectern to reveal two dials and an empty slot for a third. Put the Blue Dial into the empty space to begin.

To complete this puzzle you have to turn each of the colored dials, rotating three stained glass plates so they fit with the Las Plagas symbol in the background of the giant circle. It takes a bit of puzzling out to spot the shapes, lines, and colours, plus how they combine together as a whole. If you're struggling, I'd recommend that you align the three dials at the bottom to match the picture above showing the correct solution. This should complete the puzzle, and if not, at least get you close enough that you just need to shift a dial or two slightly to finish it off.

Once aligned, the gate will open letting you head deeper into the church to find Ashley.
