Even though Resident Evil 4 was the turning point where the series moved toward a more action-oriented style of game, it is still packed with puzzles to test your brain power just as much as your aim. The remake stays true to that formula by bringing back one of the iconic early puzzles from the original, which you will encounter during Chapter 4. While exploring the church, you will be presented with a stained glass puzzle that requires you to line up different colors to complete the image. Spinning puzzles like this are quite tricky, even for an experienced agent like Leon, so we'll back you up and show you how to solve the church puzzle in Resident Evil 4.

Chess was a major plot point in the first Harry Potter book and film, and is a natural fit for some puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy. This game is very deep, and potentially time-consuming as well, so instead of asking you to play full games, these puzzles simply present a set scenario for you to solve in a single move. However, not everyone is familiar enough with chess to know how to solve them and reach the end of these Treasure Vaults. Here's how you can solve all the chess puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy.

You can play as Resident Evil 4’s Leon Kennedy in Tekken 8 … sort of
Leon Kennedy in Tekken 8

Tekken 8 has only been out for a few days, but folks on the internet have already found a way to make some incredibly convincing recreations of some of their favorite characters from other properties. Perhaps one of the most impressive seen so far is a version of Leon Kennedy that closely resembles his appearance in the recent Resident Evil 4 remake, giving players an opportunity to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament as a zombie-slaying brawler ... well, sort of.

As shown by YouTube creator Dan Allen Gaming, it's entirely possible to replicate Leon Kennedy's look to quite a shocking level using Tekken 8's detailed character customization features. Everything from his iconic leather bomber jacket to his quintessential '90s haircut is nailed perfectly here by using popular fighter Lars as a base for the customization due to his similarity to Leon in frame and stature.

Once you do, you need to find a very specific place to view it from in order to unlock the secrets it holds. With so few clues, you'll need a bit of guidance to learn the tricks to solve these totems.
How to solve Sarentu Totems

When you encounter a Sarentu Totem, you will find a large, spiral-shaped object usually on a cliffside or overlook of some sort. Your only objective when you approach one is to find the correct spot to stand at and view it from by following "markers." These markers aren't going to show up on your HUD or even be highlighted with your special Na'vi vision.
