This is how to solve the Water Hall pedestal puzzle in Resident Evil 4 remake:

Ashley will tell Leon the Zealots have arrived. Thin out their numbers as much as you can. Then, from the pedestal, go straight ahead and turn left. Go right down the stairs and drop down to the level below.

There are more enemies here, so take out as many as you can from a distance. Some may be infected with Plaga Mandibula, so watch out for them. Your safest option here is to use a Flash Grenade – this will kill the Plaga Mandibula outright.

Next, go to the pedestal on the south side of the room and use the Halo Wheel to lower the stairs to the floor above. More Zealots will be waiting, so take them out as quickly as possible.
