RE 8 Village Guide Part 7: Looking for the Red Chimney House

If you followed our previous article regarding Resident Evil Village part 6 guide you should now be on the roof of Castle Dimitrescu, right next to the elevator. Read on for what to do next.

Exit the elevator and turn left. There is a vase with some Lei on your left. There’s also a vase here to your right, but first, you’ll have to deal with the little bat monsters that fly in to attack. In this situation, just shoot with a handgun.

Break the vase to get some Sniper Rifle Ammo and then follow the snowy roof past the castle tower. Keep heading to the Rooftops, head East, and take on all the enemies that attack you on your way. After that you have to go to the sloping roof and to the other side where there is a vase and some handgun bullets.

Facing Lady Dimitrescu

As soon as you land, there is a statue in front of you where you get Mask of Rage, the final mask needed to solve Dimitrescu’s Hall of the Four puzzle Castle.

Exit the Tower of Rage by following the balcony and dropping the ladder. You’ll be right by the elevator so get down and head back to the Hall of the Four. Remember! Avoid Lady Dimitrescu while you are away.

Once you arrive, attach the four masks to the statue. If Lady Dimitrescu interferes, just run to the Merchant Room, then she won’t follow you inside. Wait a few minutes and try again.

When the door opens, go in and destroy the two vases to get a Rusted Scrap and Herb, then enter the door. Outside, there are vases on each side of you before climbing the stairs, open them to get Chem Fluid and Lei.

After successfully taking it, then climb the stairs into the church. Go to the back of the church and interact to get the ceremonial dagger. And the battle with the big female boss will begin.

After you defeat him, retrieve the Dimitrescu Crystal from his corpse and continue your adventure. Approach the altar at the end of the room and grab the Dirty Flask to open the way forward.

Village People (Village People)

When you’re outside, you can go to the little shack to store game data and pick up some Rusted Scrap. There’s also an outhouse with some Gunpowder in the back. When you have them all, go to the door with the torch next to it and shoot the lock to open the way.

Look into the cave and you will come to shallow water. Shoot the swimming fish, you can use the fish to increase health. Look towards the light and follow the voice of the granny. After the cutscene ends, interact with the box in the temple to open it and get Winged Key. Unlock the bone-covered door in front and through, up the stairs.

Now pull the lever at the top of the stairs and exit to the Ceremony area. Ignore the base with the Umbrella symbol on it. Out of Ceremony Site and take a right at the top of the ladder to get an unbreakable box filled with Sniper Rifle bullets, then head down the ladder.

Stop halfway and take out your Sniper Rifle to take on a group of werewolves. If someone approaches, aim your shotgun.

Once all of them are defeated, now descend through the stairs to the bridge. Here you can’t do anything yet, but there’s a room under the stairs, inside it’s Goats of Warding. Destroy it and head back up the stairs.

Check the side room for some crafting components (there’s a werewolf in one of them, so stay alert) then just leave.

Open the gate and you will return to Altar greeted by The Duke. Approach the Duke and a cutscene will occur. After finishing chatting, open the locked gate near the Duke using Winged Key. Shoot the lock from the next gate and proceed to Maiden of War.

Go to the Church in the East of the graveyard and save the game data, you’ll also notice some things have changed here and get a little more story detail. Outside, there is a gate to the Northeast which you can now open using the Iron Insignia Key.

There are some chickens in there, kill them to get some Poultry, and there’s also a box containing some Lei.

Find the Red Chimney House

When you’re done, head to the building in the East of Maiden of War, marked on the map above, collect all the Wooden Bodies, then head to the stable, the smaller yellow circle and remove the bookshelf blocking it. Be careful, there’s a werewolf.

Turn left on the downed tractor. Ahead is a locked gate, shoot and pass. While on the right, there is a box containing some handgun bullets. And across there, there was a house. You will find a photo in it, rotate it, you will see the words “look out the window” or “look out the window” on the back. Pay attention and you’ll see some numbers: 070408.

Don’t mind the werewolves jumping up and down, just shoot them. Inside the building where you found the photo, there is a number padlock. Enter the combination: 070408, you will get M1911.

You’ll also get a Jack Handle, which you need to take back to the tractor to lift it up and open a new path. During the journey you will be attacked, so defeat all of them, keep as far as possible from the enemy. You can kill enemies on the roof using a sniper rifle. Pick up the tractor and crawl down.

Elsewhere, look ahead and turn right. Take out the werewolves in front by shooting them with a shotgun, then go to where they are. Turn left at the end of this road and look above to see the werewolves.

Kill them and continue your journey south. At the end of this path, you will meet an armored werewolf. Shoot with a shotgun at the head, trying to shoot the helmet down, that way you can do a headshot easily, although it will likely take longer. If you have a Pipe Bomb don’t hesitate to use it.

When you’re done, head to the left by shooting the lock at the gate. There is a box containing some shotgun bullets which you definitely need right now. Next to it, there is Goat of Warding, just shoot it.

You can also enter the building, but be careful of the enemies that lurk. There are several Gunpowder, handgun bullets, and Madalina (Body), valuable items that can be combined. Now head west and into the locked gate to use the Iron Insignia Key.

Before going up the stairs, go inside the building to get some Lei and Well Whells, the latter of which allows you to move around the map by lifting all the wells to get some extra items. Now go up through the stairs.

Get Metal Scrap and chicken. Unlock the gate but don’t leave, grab the Gunpowder, and climb the ladder in the area where the chicken is. This is the red chimney house as marked on the map.

Then follow the wires on the roof and drop them into the building. Make sure your shotgun is ready to take on the werewolf inside.

You will find another part of the Winged Key, check to combine the Winged Key automatically to create Four-Winged Key. Now it’s time to return to The Duke. See you in the Resident Evil part 8 guide which we will discuss soon.
