Resident Evil Requiem (RE9)

Hourglass Puzzle Solution

Hourglass Puzzle Solution

The Hourglass is part of a lengthy puzzle that helps you solve the Severed Hand's secret blood analysis in Resident Evil Requiem (RE9). Read on to learn how to solve the hourglass puzzle and find out what its clue is for.

Hourglass Puzzle Solution

Remove the Screws and Flip the Hourglass

The Hourglass is used in what is believed to be a segment of the Final Puzzle challenge of RE9. So find the clue hidden within it, pick it up then interact with the screws on either side of the hourglass.

Once both screws are removed, you should be left with just the hourglass portion. Flip it over to get the sand to trickle down into the other end. When enough sand has drained, tilt the hourglass slightly to see a clue hidden beneath the sand.

What is the Hourglass Clue For?

Clue Helps Players Decipher Severed Hand's RNA Sequence

The clue you obtain that says "U = 380,000" is a reference to the approximate distance between the Earth and the moon. This helps you figure out that U = Moon.

This discovery is tied to the RNA sequence of the Severed Hand you obtain after rescuing Emily from the Care Center Basement. By figuring out what "U" means, you'll be able to translate the full RNA sequence into Sun, Moon, and Star notations (which you can then input into the Sun Puzzle to get a hidden interaction).
