Resident Evil 7 Demo: Find Dirty Coin and Solve all Puzzles

on

With the third Midnight Update for the Resident Evil 7 demo, several long-standing mysteries were finally clarified. Players can now complete all hidden objectives and obtain the Dirty Coin, a special item that can later be transferred into the full version of the game when it launches.

This walkthrough explains step by step how to solve every puzzle in the demo and unlock the Dirty Coin, using community-verified methods shared by experienced players.

What You Need to Unlock the Dirty Coin

To successfully obtain the Dirty Coin, make sure you complete all of the following objectives during the demo:

  • Interact with five key puzzle locations using the doll finger

  • Collect the notebook

  • Trigger five audio cues in different areas of the house (each one adds an entry to the notebook)

Without following the correct order, these steps can be difficult to figure out on your own. The guide below walks you through the process in a clear and efficient way.

Step 1: Find the Notebook

  1. At the start of the demo, activate the lever inside the fireplace to open a hidden passage.

  2. Pick up the lock from the table inside the secret room and return to the starting area.

  3. Insert the fuse into the electrical box and exit through the door into the hallway.

  4. Walk right and pass through the worn door.

  5. Continue down the hallway and collect the empty notebook from the chest on your right.

Step 2: Doll Finger & Doll Hand Puzzle

  1. Return to the entrance lobby and take the doll finger from the drawer next to the stairs.

  2. Go upstairs and activate the switch that unlocks access to the upper floor.

  3. Enter the room to the right and continue through the damaged wall.

  4. Interact with the writing on the wall to trigger the first audio cue, which adds an entry to the notebook.

  5. Nearby, collect the celluloid object and combine it with the doll finger to complete the doll hand.


Step 3: Basement Exploration (Valve & Key)

  1. Pick up the basement key from the table in the same area.

  2. Head back down the hallway where you found the notebook.

  3. Unlock the gate and descend into the lower area.

  4. Enter the room on the right and take the valve from the table.

  5. In the back room, collect the attic window key from the shelf.

Tip: If you encounter an enemy here, it’s best to avoid confrontation and move through the area quickly.

Step 4: Bolt Cutter & Video Tape

  1. Return to the entrance lobby and point the doll hand at the overturned cabinet to activate the first interaction point.

  2. Move through the kitchen and hallway to collect the bolt cutter.

  3. Use the bolt cutter on the locked cabinet to obtain the VHS tape.

  4. Head back upstairs and continue past the first door to hear the second audio cue, adding another notebook entry.

Step 5: Axe Puzzle

  1. Return to the lower area and collect the lock pick near the entrance.

  2. Use it on the kitchen drawer to obtain the axe.

  3. Use the axe on the painting near the stairs to trigger the third audio cue.

Step 6: Flashback Sequence & Final Notebook Entry

  1. Enter the bathroom under the stairs and interact with the blocked doorway to activate another puzzle point.

  2. After exiting the room, turn around in front of the mirror to trigger the fourth audio cue.

  3. Visit the upper room past the damaged wall and interact with the pipe to activate another interaction point.

  4. Return to the starting room and play the VHS tape using the TV.

  5. After the sequence ends, return to the basement area to hear the final audio cue, completing the notebook.

Note: If the final cue does not trigger immediately, replay the video tape and try again.

 

Step 7: Open the Locked Door & Get the Dirty Coin

  1. Go to the kitchen and interact with the cooking pot using the doll hand to activate the last puzzle point.

  2. Return to the attic, where the previously locked door is now accessible.

  3. Inside, you’ll find a rocking chair with a plaque.

  4. Collect the Dirty Coin from the chair.

Using the Dirty Coin in the Full Game

The Dirty Coin can be transferred into Resident Evil 7 once the full game is available. Simply keep your save file with the item on your system so it can be detected when starting the main game. The exact effect of the Dirty Coin is revealed later in the full release.
