How to open the Cold Storage door in Resident Evil Requiem

You can find the Resident Evil Requiem Cold Storage door fairly quickly, but when you try to open it the handle comes clean off in your hand. Which isn't ideal, especially with a shambling zombie hot on your heels as you desperately try to find your way out of Rhodes Hill Clinic.

With the handle broken it means you're going to need to find something else to help you get into the RE9 Cold Storage room. So come with me as I guide you through finding it. In fact, if you're anything like me, it may even be sitting idly in your inventory already.

How to open Cold Storage in Resident Evil Requiem

To open the Cold Storage door in Rhodes Hill Care Center, you need to reach the Custodian's Office first, where you'll find a wrench. You'll be able to use this in place of the broken wheel to turn the mechanism and get through. At this point you can have several puzzles on the go in RE9 so just check you don't have it already as, I had this in my inventory and forgot about it.

The Custodian's Office doesn't need a key or item to unlock it, you just need to have the Level 1 wristband to unlock the south west part of the clinic. Once you've reached the room and have the wrench in your inventory, return to the Cold Storage door use the wrench from your inventory, and you're in. As you'll soon realise, if you haven't figured it out already, this step is crucial to finding the Resident Evil Requiem organs for the lab corpse.

Where to find the wrench in RE Requiem

The wrench is in the Custodian's Office, in the western wing of the clinic, past both the kitchen and the parlor where you can cash in your Resident Evil Requiem antique coins for upgrades. Once you have the Level 1 wristband to get through the locked gate, head down the corridor and the office will be on your left, distinguished by an elaborate Cherub carving and handle.

The wrench is inside the Custodian's Office, on the desk on the left-hand side. You'll be pleased to hear this office is also a save location, so save and take some time to sort your inventory out while you have access to a storage trunk. I recommend picking up the wrench before saving, so you've no chance of forgetting it next time, should the worst happen. (Yes, I'm speaking from experience again.)
