The Parlor in Resident Evil Requiem is a classic example of the series' signature locked-door mechanics, where the path forward is not just blocked but obfuscated. The unicorn door, with its intricate locking mechanism, stands as both a test of skill and patience for players. To progress, one must first locate the Unicorn Trinket Box, a seemingly innocuous item that holds the key to entry.
This guide outlines the steps required to open the unicorn door, from navigating the treacherous paths to solving the puzzle that reveals the hidden symbol on the trinket box. The journey is fraught with obstacles—enemies lurk in every corner, and every misstep can mean certain failure. But for those willing to persevere, the Parlor awaits.
Locating the Unicorn Trinket Box
- Begin by making your way through the kitchen, where a chef wields a knife with deadly precision. Avoid detection by moving slowly when he turns his back or follow him as he navigates the counters.
- Proceed to the Dining Room, where stealth is paramount. Crouch low to avoid disturbing the ongoing meal and grab the B924 pistol from the floor—a crucial tool for what lies ahead.
- A zombie will emerge after you retrieve the gun, so swift movement is advised to escape its grasp.
From there, detour into the Filing Room to stock up on ammunition and acquire a makeshift knife. Rejoin the main path, head left, and follow the corridor to its end, timing your ascent with the patrol of a zombie who roams the stairs.
The Bar & Lounge area is next, where three enemies—including a singing lady and her companions—await. Stealth is key here; any noise will draw their attention, so move carefully to avoid detection.
Solving the Puzzle
Once past the Bar & Lounge, enter the Chairman's Office and retrieve the Unicorn Trinket Box from the table beside the entrance. Examine it in your inventory, turning it until a symbol appears on its back. Pressing the button will yield the Red Jewel, the final piece needed to unlock the unicorn door.
Return to the door, insert the Red Jewel, and step into the Parlor. The journey is complete, but the challenges of Resident Evil Requiem are far from over.
