Castle Dimitrescu

Resident Evil Village guide · Exploring the castle grounds

Ethan Winters infiltrates Castle Dimitrescu to search for his kidnapped daughter, Rose, while evading Lady Dimitrescu and her three daughters. The primary objective is to collect four unique angel masks scattered across the estate to unlock the exit leading outside. Exploring the castle requires solving environmental puzzles, unlocking doors, and navigating both the grand upper floors and the dungeon basements.

Tips

Running away is often better than shooting Lady Dimitrescu, as hitting her only staggers her briefly and wastes ammunition.
The Duke's room serves as a safe haven where Lady Dimitrescu cannot follow or attack you.
Rooms on your in-game map will turn blue once you have picked up every hidden item and resource located within them.
Examine the Animal Skull found on the wall above the fireplace in the Hall of Pleasure to unscrew the back piece, turning it into the substitute item needed to remove the Mask of Pleasure.
