The Apostate's Head in Resident Evil 4 Remake is located in the Large Cave Shrine found west of Mural Cave. When reaching this area of the game and defeating the Ganados, you'll find the Apostate's Head locked behind a dial puzzle which many fail to solve. 

So, if you are struggling, keep reading our guide as we not only talk about how you can solve the dial puzzle in Large Cave Shrine, but we also share its solution. This can be used to quickly get past the locked door and obtain the Apostate's Head.

How do you solve the large cave shrine puzzle?

To solve the dial puzzle found in the large cave shrine in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you must scout the vicinity for murals that represent the symbols on the dial. 

In total, you must find three of these murals. Once you do that, you can activate the corresponding dials to unlock the door holding the Apostate's Heads that you must obtain and place at the Altar in the Mural Cave to obtain the Church Key.
