In Resident Evil 4 Remake, heading towards the lake in Chapter 2, you will come across a two-story house with a circular door on the second floor. Across the hall from the typewriter, you’ll find a note labeled “Enlightened 4:3” that reveals the order in which you must line up the spinning symbols on a lock on a cabinet downstairs. Once you’ve cracked the code, pick up the glass ball inside the closet and head upstairs to solve the crystal ball puzzle behind the circular door.

To solve the crystal ball puzzle, start by spinning the ball with the left stick until the marble particles move to an inverted version of the image inside. Then use the RB/R1 button to rotate the orb 180 degrees to perfectly align the particles and the image to form a two-dimensional image. Try the puzzle twice if you don’t understand it right away; getting that number is surprisingly difficult.
