This guide explains how to solve the stone dais puzzle in the Large Cave Shrine.
Chapter 4 of Resident Evil 4 is all about obtaining the Church Insignia key so you can get inside the church to find the President’s daughter, Ashley. To get the key, you need to sail across the lake and visit two different cave shrines. Each one contains its own stone dais puzzle.

The one at the Large Cave Shrine contains the Apostate’s Head. It must be placed on one of the two stone hands inside the Mural Cave.
