Stronghold

Resident Evil Village guide · The lycan fortress

Ethan enters the Lycan Stronghold built into the mountain ruins to locate the final flask containing Rose's torso. He must fight through dense swarms of lycans, descend into an underground cavern, defeat an armored hammer-wielding boss, and retrieve Heisenberg's flask. Afterward, he follows an exit route through the docks back toward the ceremonial site.
