In this Resident Evil 2 Remake Medallions Guide, we will guide you on where you can find the three medallions and how to solve the puzzles in order to retrieve the three medallions.

We have detailed the locations of all three statues which are actually the puzzles. Upon solving the puzzle on each statue, you will be given a medallion. Each statue has a specific code which needs to be entered in the statue’s base. However, you must note that these codes are different for your first and second playthrough.

Our Resident Evil 2 Remake Medallions Guide details the location of each medallion as well as the solution to opening them in both your first and second playthrough. Keep in mind that codes are unique for both playthroughs.
Before we start with the guide it is worth mentioning here that you can find these statues and obtain the medallions yourself as well without using this guide. If you prefer finding them on your own, you can with the help of material that you find while playing the game.
If you are on your first playthrough, you will get a note with all instructions when you reach a certain part of the story.

Combine both of these items to create a detonator and use it to explode the C4. Once the gate is open, you can go in to the Maiden statue and collect the Maiden medallion. The codes to open the Maiden statue are detailed below.
