How to Solve Calibration Puzzles in Resident Evil 4 Explained
To restore power to certain doors in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you need to calibrate a machine next to them.
To calibrate a machine, you must turn each individual node in the puzzle until glowing green lines cross all power nodes with a lightning bolt symbol on them.
Power can flow through two lines if the ‘T’ knot is positioned correctly, which is critical to solving every calibration puzzle.
There will be a Power Node meter in the upper right corner of the screen to show you how many you currently have activated.
Once you have created a route that activates each power node in the puzzle, the door next to the machine will open.
