Resident Evil 3: How To Solve The Subway Station Jewel Puzzle (All Jewel Locations)

Jewel in the crown.

Subway Station Jewel Puzzle

While Resident Evil 3 may not be the most puzzle-packed entry in the series to date, it certainly has its fair share of collectibles, one of which asks you to collect jewels to put in its slots.

Early on, once you get to the Subway Station, you may notice an odd looking mechanism. This mechanism is what you can use to put a red, blue, and green jewel in to get three different rewards.

Here’s where you can find all three different jewels across the Downtown area in Raccoon City for this puzzle.

 

Red Jewel – Donut Shop

Probably the hardest one to miss, the Red Jewel is located right next to the Item Box in the Donut Shop: a location you will need to walk through if you want to make progress.

Remember to examine it when it is in its inventory as a Fancy Box and then the Red Jewel will come out of it.

 

Green Jewel – Toy Store

You will not be able to get the Green Jewel unless you have the lockpick, which you get from first putting out the fire in the alleyway and then moving forwards until you find it resting at the lap of a dead man just before you take on the spiders.

Open the lock to the Toy Store on the high street, move past the striking Mega Man statue, and then find the Fancy Box atop a counter. Examine the Fancy Box in the inventory and then out should drop the Green Jewel.

 

Blue Jewel – Locked Store

Similarly to the Green Jewel, you will not be able to access the Blue Jewel until you have a specific item, this time being the Bolt Cutters. You unlock the Bolt Cutters after clearing the alleyway of fire and then taking them out of a cabinet on a wall.

Directly opposite the Toy Store, use your Bolt Cutters to gain access to the Locked Store on the same street. Once inside, find the Fancy Box on one of the shelves and then examine it to find the Blue Jewel inside.

For inserting all of the jewels into the mechanism in the Subway Station, you will unlock a Grenade, a Tactical Stock for the M3 Shotgun, and also a Hip Pouch to expand Jill’s inventory space.

Resident Evil 3 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We gave it an 8/10 score in our review:

“Resident Evil 3 is a mostly superb remake of a horror classic with many clever spins on the formula and fluid, enthralling gameplay. I just wish there was more of it.”
