TheSquare Lock Boxesare just another of Resident Evil 4 Remake’s many puzzles to lay your hands on pricelesstreasurethat you’ll pawn to buy ever-greater guns for blasting cultists and monsters. Similar to theWayshrinesyou find throughout the village, these chests require a specific device if you want to open them up.
You’ll also have to solve a little puzzle to unlock each, but that’s no surprise considering Salazar’s riddle-strewn castle makes the village look like a total paradise. Here’s how to find the Square Lock Box key, solve the puzzle, plus all of the lock box locations I’ve found in the castle, and what treasure they contain.
Where to find the Cubic Device
You can get the key to open Square Lock Boxes during chapter nine. While locating three golden animal heads to place on a chimera statue, you’ll find the lion head in an armory surrounded by knights. After you’ve defeated them and unlocked the door out of the room, you’ll find theCubic Devicein a chest in the corridor outside. Luckily, if you want to backtrack to lock boxes in previous areas, you can alwaystake the underground carriagethat’s through the door next to the merchant’s shop in the grand hall.
How to open Square Lock Boxes
These chests are slightly more complex to open than the Wayshrines in the village, but they do contain better treasure. Simply activate the box and select the Cubic Device to start the puzzle.

By rotating the device, you can check all of its faces to see which has the right shape, then manipulate it into the correct position before plugging it in to access the treasure.
Square Lock Box locations
There are five lock boxes that can be found throughout the castle. Here’s where each one is and what it contains:
