Trapped in the Castle, Rose has to fend for herself while dodging slimy zombies and one giant mace-wielding monster. The first section of the ‘Shadow of Rose‘ DLC will be familiar to fans of RE Village — but there are plenty of twists compared to the original version of the castle. You can find optional weapon upgrades, powerful guns, and you’ll even be able to unlock recipes by reading certain notes. To make sure you don’t miss anything, here’s a quick rundown of all the weapon locations in the Castle. Because this is also the largest, most substantial location in the DLC, this covers literally all the new gear you’ll need to face the final boss.
