If you played the short castle demo from Resident Evil Village, you know that demo ended with Bela Dimitrescu stopping our feet shortly after leaving the comfort chamber. And of course, with the final version of the game, you will have verified that you face it first before the others.
Fortunately, no daughter of Lady Dimitrescu is a complicated duel. You just have to know what to do and look closely at what each scenario offers . Attentive.
With Bela, about to reach the kitchen after leaving the comfort chamber behind, you will have a duel in an extremely closed environment, but do not worry: shoot at the windows to bring in the cold from outside. Yes, because the weakness of Dimitrescu’s daughters is the cold , not the sunlight, as one might think at first, apparently vampires. This, as you will see later, is explained in a document, referring to the composition of your body with “bugs”:
Structure similar to meat flies, although with differences in the head. They are carnivorous and consume meat vigorously. To hunt down their unsuspecting prey, they gather together using pheromones and take on the appearance of a human. They occur when a Cadou lays eggs on the host, but the flies cannot reproduce on their own.
They are weak when faced with sharp drops in temperature, especially if it is less than 10º C (50º F). In that case, their metabolism slows down and they go into a cryptobiotic sleep state. Are we talking about something similar to the cryptobiosis of the tardigrades, or the Polypedilum Vanderplanki?
Thus, the cold weakens the daughters of Dimitrescu, but does not kill as such. You will have to take advantage of that cold to release lead with your weapon, like a shotgun. With a few shots you will charge Bela , seeing how it ends up shattered …
With the second daughter you will have a more open confrontation within the library. The downside is that there will be no windows on the sides, except for one on the roof. Now, you will not be able to destroy it with your shots, but you will have to previously activate the lever that you see in the image above. And be careful, because Daniela will try by all means to cover that window again while it does not stop being hidden by the furniture in the room. She is extremely elusive, watch out.
Cassandra, the last one, will wait for you in the armory area, past the pleasure room. There you will have to move a shelf to show a fragile wall that you will have to destroy with a homemade bomb . With that, it will enter the room cold and you can weaken it until it is definitely killed with your most powerful weapons.
