Resident Evil VillageDLC for, The Winter’s Expansion is here, including Additional content of mercenaries and a new short campaign starring Ethan Winter’s daughter, Rose Winters. Right after the DLC’s prologue, you’ll find yourself in Lady Dimitrescu’s castle, tasked with finding three masks to obtain a crystal. This is where you can find all three masks.
Copper mask
You start into the main hall, where the puzzle statue is located. From here, go to the dining room, which connects to the courtyard and the kitchen. The door to the courtyard is locked with a chain. You can find the bolt cutter in the back right area of the kitchen where there is an enemy. Grab the bolt cutter and head into the courtyard. The Bronze Mask is actually in the center of the field, but you need to unlock a skill first, so head to the left side of the field and enter.
Inside, you’ll go up a set of stairs and into a library, where there are five enemies. There are many aboveground trails that you need to avoid, limiting you to only one path through this area. The next room has a lot of stairs on the floor, which requires you to go up some stairs and go through the top of the bookshelf to reach a ladder, which you can walk across to clear the room. The next area has a ladder, which you can climb up to the attic. Head to the back left section to find a white glowing object, which gives Rose the ability to destroy red glow bulbs, which will remove some goop.
From here, head back to the courtyard and clear out any light bulbs you come across on your way to get items. In the yard, destroy the light bulb and get the mask. From here, return to the main hall.
Silver mask
To get to the Silver Mask, you first need to go upstairs in the main lobby, which you can now reach by destroying some light bulbs. You will need to go to the left when you reach the top of the stairs. You will be ambushed by several enemies, including a large enemy that you cannot fight. Instead, run through the area, following the glowing lines into a room that locks you in. Head through the fireplace and up the stairs to find another glowing test tube, giving Rose the power to stun enemies.
Go back to the locked door and right in front of you is a door. Inside this room, on the far side table, is the One-Eyed Key. There are about five enemies here, but you don’t have to fight them. Take it and go back to the main hall. From here, head back to the courtyard and go to the back right corner, where you’ll find a door with a giant red eyeball on it. Unlock this door with the One-Eyed Key and go inside.
Head upstairs and you’ll come to a hallway with a bunch of dead Rose clones. There is an enemy at the end of the corridor, but you need to go through the door in the second half of the hallway. This takes you into the bathroom, where there are four statues you need to activate to open the next passage. The order is Hang, Sword, Dim, Arrow, respectively front right, rear left, front left, rear right.
Once completed, the bath will open to the basement, where a large number of enemies are immune to bullets. There is a pipe bomb here that you can damage it, but never mind, not enough to kill it. Instead, you need to go to the left corner of the first room, clear out the light bulbs, and go into the second room. In the second room, there is a passage on the left side, but you need to approach it from the right side to clear another light bulb. In this sequence, the large monster has the ability to notice you, at this point you need to run to the entrance and wait for it to reset.
After clearing the path, you will retreat into a secluded area, where there is a Silver Mask at the top of the stairs. Once you catch it, the big monster will go through the wall behind it and you need to run back to the area out of the basement. There are some goop in this area you need to avoid, but sticking to the left of both rooms will help you around it.
Golden mask
When you get back into the bathroom, go out into the hallway. A new door will open and the old passage will be blocked. Go into the new room and through the double doors. Inside this is a picture of a snake, you will need a puzzle. Go through the next door and you’ll be back in the original hallway. Follow the path back to the courtyard. In the yard are a bunch of enemies and big monsters, but you can run through them to get to the main hall. Enter here, go upstairs and through the door at the top of the stairs.
Inside this room is a puzzle where you have to stack the pictures so that all the predators face their prey. On the left side are Butterfly, Frog, Sheep and on the right side are Spider, Snake, Wolf. Completing this puzzle will unlock the Triocular Key. From here, head back to the courtyard, but stop in the dining room. The Triocular Key can unlock the pistol cabinet, which you can get now.
Run past the enemies in the yard to the door on the left. Right inside the door is another door with three red eyeballs on it. Open the door and go inside. You’ll find the golden mask in the center of the music room, surrounded by goop. To achieve it, you must clear three light bulbs. First, go to the right side of the room, near the stage, and look up at the balcony. After the first bulb is destroyed, a piano will fall and four enemies will appear. Use the piano to go to the middle of the room and clear a light bulb, forming a path to the upper floor. Go up the stairs and find the last light bulb on the far side of the balcony, behind an enemy. This dropped the final piano. Get the Golden Mask to activate the cutscene.
Approaching the statue
After a short movie, you will be locked in a cell, tasked with finding real lights in a room full of fakes in 90 seconds. The first one is located in the lower left of the room, facing the bars. There are no consequences if you choose the wrong one, so don’t worry about it. The second is in a broken wall inside the cell, behind an enemy. The third and last bulb are located in the center of the ceiling on the outside of the slats.
Once cleared, the tile will open and you can navigate the underground area where there is only one normal enemy. Go ahead and you’ll find yourself in the kitchen. Go through the dining room and back to the main hall where you can place the masks on the statue. Doing this leads to a boss fight, so make sure you’re prepared.
