How to pose the Ballerina Statues to match the shadow in Atomic Heart

During the Petrov of Opera mission in Atomic Heart, you will come across a puzzle that requires you to pose four Ballerinas to open a door. Talking to each ballerina gives you several pose options so the puzzle can be tricky if you do not know what poses to choose. Here is how to pose the Ballerina Statues in Atomic Heart.

The Ballerinas must be posed to match the shadow of the dead soldiers.

To change a ballerina's pose, walk up and interact with them, then choose the correct pose in the dialogue options. Here are the correct poses for each ballerina starting from when you first enter the hallway:

• Ballerina 1: Croisee in the fifth position, arms in the third position
• Ballerina 2: Releve in the fifth position. Efface. Arms upright and loose in an allonge
• Ballerina 3: Attitude
• Ballerina 4: A la seconde, arms free
