When you hear the bluebird whistle five times after the clock strikes 15:41, walk three steps towards the Orion constellation and wait for 15 minutes. Ok, that's not the actual steps you need to take to complete The Final Puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem, but it's also not far off.
Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem: The Final Puzzle ahead
After four days, some absolute madlads have managed to figure out the most convoluted puzzle to grace Resident Evil yet, and it's long. We already figured out the beginning of the puzzle, or at least part of it, by determining which letter in the DNA code sequence corresponds to the sun, moon, or star symbols.
Apparently, the trick lies with getting your mitts on a Marie doll. You can see them at various points during the playthrough, but you can only ever pick one up at one moment and only after having completed a myriad of strange tasks.
The next step is to head to the basement, towards the grinder, and instead of turning the machine off straight away, save and wait there for about 15 minutes, until all the bodies have dropped into the disposal. Then turn the conveyor off and jump into the pit, but do not kill any of the zombies that try to attack you.
Ensuring that every zombie dies by the grinder is apparently a condition for solving the puzzle: "We don't get the doll if we don't AFK at the grinder," BigRedtheBard explains. This is supposedly so there's enough blood in the system to drag the doll up to where you'll eventually find it. So instead of killing the zombies outright, you can shoot them in the legs or stun them so they get caught up in the grinder.
You'll know whether it's worked or not depending on which text displays after you drain the blood after the grinder. A regular playthrough will show "a lot of blood flowed out", while the puzzle solution playthrough will read "a ton of blood flowed out."
