How to find and analyze Blood Specimen (Converged) in Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem's progression is strange and much different from most games out there. Some early progression beats, including those that unlock various crucial crafting recipes for you, are hidden behind collectible items called Blood Specimens that come in several variants. Blood Specimen (Converged) gives you the recipe to craft Requiem ammo, i.e., bullets for that massive revolver that Leon hands to Grace during the initial moments of the Care Center level. So, here's how you can find and analyze it to get access to that vital recipe. Blood Specimen (Converged) location and analyzer puzzle solution The bottom pin shows the Blood Specimen, the top is for the Analyzer. Screenshot and remix by Destructoid The Blood Specimen (Converged) is located in a closet, accessed by opening the ID-locked door in the Waiting Room. You'll have to go up the stairs and get the Level One ID wristband from a corpse on the floor to the right of the Lead Researcher's Office. The massive Chunk enemy will spawn once you approach the corpse, so you will have to run down the stairs and into the Waiting Room itself to bait it into walking down the hallway and then sprint back up to get the wristband. Chunk won't come back up, but will start patrolling the hallways and areas around the Waiting Room itself. Once you have the ID, you can open the door and get to the closet to find the Blood Specimen. Keep in mind that several enemies spawn in the Waiting Room, with one particularly quick one scratching the floor just in front of the room you want to go into. Killing enemies in this area makes them not spawn anymore, and since you'll have to walk through it several times more down the line, I'd advise you do so. With the Blood Specimen in hand, go back through the Waiting Room into the East Wing Lobby to unlock the shortcut, then through the Treatment and Examination Rooms, and again down the hallway into the Blood Lab. There, you can insert the Blood Specimen into the Laser Microscope. To solve the puzzle, click the middle box on the far left first and then the second box from the right. Once you've done so, you will have unlocked Requiem bullets. Other puzzles, such as safe code combinations or story-crucial combinations, can pose a significant barrier to some players, but our guides should have you covered.
