Navigating the shadowy halls of the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil 2 requires players to solve intricate environmental puzzles to make their escape. Among the key challenges is reaching and unlocking the Maiden Statue, frequently referred to by survival horror fans as the lady statue. Obtaining the medallion hidden inside this statue is essential for unlocking the secret underground passage beneath the Main Hall.
Locating the Lady Statue in the Police Station
The Maiden Statue is situated on the third floor inside the West Storage Room behind a heavily barricaded wall. To reach the statue, players must first assemble a custom detonator using an electronic gadget and a battery. Once attached to the explosive charge on the barricade, the blast clears a path directly into the statue chamber.
First Run Maiden Statue Puzzle Code
During a standard first playthrough scenario, the correct symbol alignment is derived from clues inside the Officer's Notebook. The required combination sequence from top to bottom is Woman, Bow, and Snake. Inputting this code releases the Maiden Medallion into your inventory immediately.
Second Run Alternative Solution
When playing through a 2nd Run scenario, the dial combination changes completely to challenge returning players. For this altered playthrough, the correct dial sequence turns to Ram, Harp, and Bird. Solving this variant grants the necessary medallion required to complete the Goddess Statue setup in the Main Hall.
Tips for Surviving the Encounter
Retreating from the Maiden Statue room can quickly become dangerous due to a nearby Licker that spawns after the explosion. Moving slowly and quietly past environmental hazards allows you to save precious ammunition while returning safely to the central hub. Placing all three medallions into the central Goddess Statue finally opens the doorway leading out of the police facility.
