There are four Resident Evil Village labyrinth puzzles that can be solved for all sorts of rewards that you can sell as you continue exploring Castle Dimitrescu. And considering the future baddies you'll be facing and the gear you'll need to take them out, you won't want to miss these intricate statues.

As you'll most likely see shortly after entering the castle, labyrinth puzzles first require you to find a corresponding ball. With that in hand you can drop it into the relevant labyrinth and tilt the model with WASD—while ensuring you miss any hazards that put you back to the start—until you get to the highlighted goal. That'll open the locked drawer below to release your treasure. So here's my Resident Evil 8 labyrinth ball location guide to help you find them all.
