3:  General Strategies

MEASUREMENT OF TIME->If you want to finish fast, you must know that RE3 
constantly measures time from when Jill begins to talk (...blah, blah, 
blah, wheels of justice, blah, blah, blah...) to when the rescue 
helicopter comes to get her.  So, make sure you don't have any big 
plans for the next three hours before you begin your journey, like 
chores, homework, etc.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVES->These are alternate strategies for certain rooms 
that net you a lower time.  If you want to improve your speed, then try 
them out.

SPEED INDICATORS->These are little challenges I made.  If you can 
fullfil the challenge's requirements, then you are on your way to an A!

CINEMAS->Cinemas also count as game time, so you have to cut these 
short as possible.  Hold down Select to shorten an FMV, or tap it 
quickly to stop a cutscene.  There are some scenes which cannot be cut 
short.

INVENTORY->Inventory Screen is another major time waster if used 
excessively.  Only use the inventory when it's absolutely unavoidable.  
To keep space problems to a minimum, always setup your inventory in 
this order:  ONE weapon and its ammo, ONE healing item, and all other 
items needed to complete tasks in the near future.  Learn ahead of time 
what you need to take to a certain place, and save space for whatever 
you need to pick up afterwards.  I'll try to tell you good inventory 
setups for special situations during the game.  Also take the 
opportunity to reload your gun and heal whenever accessing the menu to 
use an item.

HEALTH and HEALTH ITEMS->Keep your health as high as possible.  The 
higher your health is, the faster you can run, dodge, turn, or 
whatever.  Master the 180 spin.  You'll need it to quickly leave dead 
end halls and back up from crowds of monsters while shooting.  The 
lower your health goes, the harder it is to 180, which is another 
reason to stay in good shape.  

RE3 isn't as stingy about FIRST AID SPRAYS as RE2.  You can actually 
get away with using a couple but three is enough to turn your A into a 
B no matter how fast you are.  Use FAS only in extreme emergencies.  
Whenever I say to bring a FULL HEALING ITEM, always choose HERBS over 
FAS.

PUZZLES->Puzzles must be solved quickly to keep your time low.  I will 
provide hints on how to solve puzzles quickly as they come along in the 
walkthrough.

PERSPECTIVE->Whenever I say left or right, I mean it from Jill's 
perspective.

ENEMIES->Enemies are the biggest time wasters in the game.  Here are 
some hints on how to pass or kill them in the quickest and most 
efficient way possible:  

ZOMBIES->Zombies are so easy to dodge I shouldn't even have to tell you 
how to dodge them.  Fake one direction, then swerve the other way to 
avoid them.  If you're in a small room and keeping away is impossible, 
just several HANDGUN bursts or one SHOTGUN headshot will kill them.

DOGS->Dogs are easily avoided if you know how to do it.  Run straight 
at a dog but right before it jumps, dodge to one side to miss the dog 
and by the time the creepy canine faces you again, you're already two 
rooms away :) If you must kill them, use the SHOTGUN, though you can do 
it with a HANDGUN too.  Watch out if you do use the HANDGUN, because 
they always appear in packs.

SPIDERS->Spiders are easily avoided because they take too long to 
attack.  First it must swivel to face you, then it msut rear up on its 
legs, and then it has to get to you.  It's easy to finish the game 
without ever having to kill any of them.  If they're really getting on 
your nerves, use the SHOTGUN or anything more powerful. 

HUNTERS->Hunters, they have to be the second most annoying RE enemy 
ever (first most annoying is the Moths in RE: CV).  They are 
unpredictable because they jump all over the place, they crouch, and 
they can kill you in one attack if you don't watch your health.  I 
always kill them except for the ones in the test tubes and the 
fountains.  The SHOTGUN or anything stronger is good enough, though 
most everything that deals with Hunters is never guaranteed :(

DRAIN DENIMOS and BRAIN SUCKER->Drain Denimos and Brain Suckers are 
other enemies I hate.  It's hard to run around them since they're so 
wide, but can be done.  Since they wrap almost their entire body around 
you, they are the toughest enemies in the game to break free from. They 
can also jump right next to you from across the room, but fortunately 
they can't hurt you while jumping like the lickers.  The only 
difference between the DD's and BS's besides appearance is that BS's 
can spit poison.  Two or three close range SHOTGUN blasts will kill 
them.
 
MINOR ENEMIES->Crows, small spiders, and worms, just run. 'Nuff said.

NEMESIS->Nemesis has to be the most fun enemy to play with.  If he's 
trapped you in a small corridor, run past him on his right side (or the 
side of his coat with no sleeve).  I've heard he sometimes uses his 
right arm, but its never happened to me.  Especially watch out for his 
choke throws.  If he gets you, he'll choke you, then throw you to the 
ground.  Quickly mash all the buttons to get back on your feet.  If you 
take too long he'll grab you again and drop you if you resisted enough, 
or he'll spike you with his tentacle if not.  Sometimes he will do THE 
POSE.  It's kind of like his trademark or something.  What he does is 
he stands in one place and yells "Mmmwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!".  
Meanwhile, you can empty 4-6 rounds of something into him.  Nemmy would 
be much harder to beat if it wasn't for this.  

Don't sweat it if he's got his bazooka with him.  I think Nemmy's 
easier to kill when he's got his rocket launcher.  He takes too long to 
arm it, he can't grab you, and half his rockets miss me by over four 
feet :)  MAGNUM is the MINIMUM when I choose to fight him.  I know, I'm 
a weakling, aren't I?   BTW, when he's chasing you, it's not always a 
bad thing.  Sometimes when he's after you, rooms that you went to that 
had monsters previously will now be empty!  Watch out, this won't 
always happen.  I'll point out rooms I know you can leave monsters 
alive in.  

Most of this information can also be found in Vmerken's guides.

Now choose New Game and select Hard Mode.  Hold Start and when the FMV 
begins hold Select.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

4:  Walkthrough

A->UPTOWN
---------

ALLEY BEHIND APARTMENT BUILDING

We see some shots of the alley with the delivery entrance before Jill 
comes blasting out the door.  You are now in control.  Run straight 
ahead and let the zombie bite you.  Shove him off and climb over the 
dumpster and drop down into the alley beyond.  

Enjoy the un-skippable cutscene.  Jill's surrounded by zombies.  She 
backs up into a door and then breaks it open.  She runs down the alley 
away from her pursuers.  We now hear Jill typing on a typewriter:  
"September 28, daylight (shift).  The monsters have overtaken the city 
(shift).  Somehow...(shift)  I'm still alive...(shift)  When she 
FINALLY shuts up tap select.  We only see a glance of Jill's figure.  

WAREHOUSE

180 and take the HANDGUN BULLETS from the box with the green light.  
Then use GAME MANUAL A (press triangle) and GAME MANUAL B (press 
triangle).  Take the FIRST AID SPRAY off the crates next to the 
forklift.  Go to the WAREHOUSE OFFICE.

WAREHOUSE OFFICE

Take the WAREHOUSE KEY, then take the two GUN POWDER A's in the locker 
and combine them to make an AA MIXTURE. Use the reloading tool to make 
35 HANDGUN BULLETS.  Take the INK RIBBONS next to the typewriter, which 
will be the only INK RIBBONS we'll be using for the duration of our 
game.  Dump the RELOADING TOOL, the FIRST AID SPRAY, and the INK 
RIBBONS in the CHEST. Go.

WAREHOUSE 

Use the WAREHOUSE KEY on the door under the green light and discard it.  
Leave.

ALLEY NEXT TO WAREHOUSE

Nothin' here.  Just go out the door at the other end of the alley.

MAIN STREET

Turn to Jill's left and leave through the door that appears in the next 
camera angle. 

Y JUNCTION

Go up the stairs and walk to the door that Brad and several zombies 
will come bursting out of.  It will either open automatically or you'll 
have to check it to make it open.  When the door does open, run back to 
MAIN STREET.

MAIN STREET

Do a 180 and reenter the Y JUNCTION.

Y JUNCTION

This spot is tricky, but gets easier with practice.  The zombies will 
still be here, but they won't be running all over the place, making it 
much easier to dodge/kill them.  If you can, try to slip past the two 
zombies walking out of the open door.  If it's not possible, kill them.  
Now go down the stairs and into the basement.  Shoot the one zombie 
here until he falls down, then quickly pick up the LIGHTER OIL on the 
shelf and the SHOTGUN on the dead body before the zombie wakes up.  
Now, the zombies will either be messing around outside or they will 
have followed you down the stairs.  If they followed you down the 
stairs, then kill them.  After getting outside, you may be surprised by 
a zombie that has hidden outside the door because of the terrible 
camera angle.  Shove him off and enter the alley across the way.  Pick 
up the 2 GREEN HERBS, go down this alley, and leave out the orange 
rusted door.  Do NOT use the GREEN HERBS until I tell you, unless the 
situation is dire. 

STREET IN FRONT OF BAR JACK

Fake right, then left to avoid the first zombie.  The zombie near the 
bar's door can easily be avoided by running past on the left.  The 
zombie hanging out on the stoop is no trouble at all cuz he always gets 
stuck on the railing.  The zombie pair eating the man who screamed 
earlier can only bite you after they are fully standing up, so you can 
just push right past them.  Leave out the door that looks remarkably 
like the one that led into Chief Irons's Sanctuary :)

ALLEY BEHIND BAR JACK

Go down the stairs and you will see Brad shoot a zombie and then run 
into the BAR JACK.  Watch out for the zombies in front of Brad's escape 
route.  They almost always start running the minute they sense you.  
After luring the zombie pair away from the back door, run inside.

BAR JACK

Tap select to abort the cinema.  Do a 180 and try to run out the back 
door.  Brad somehow instantly kills the zombie that was attacking him.  
Tap select to make the wuss leave.  Take the EMPTY LIGHTER from the pay 
phone and combine it with the LIGHTER OIL to get a FULL LIGHTER.  Take 
the HANDGUN BULLETS from the cash register and leave out the door you 
used to get in.

ALLEY BEHIND BAR JACK

Hmm...why the sudden addition of music?  The zombies have moved to 
easily avoidable positions.  Run up the stairs and turn right.  You 
will come to a crossroads.  Take the alley that is bathed in orange 
light.  A zombie is here.  Run past him on what side he's not looking 
at.  Leave out this next door.

BARRICADE ALLEY

There are a large group of zombies pounding on a barricade.  There are 
three possible times where they could break free.  They could break out 
before you walk past the exploding barrel, right before you get to the 
gate, or after you use the LIGHTER on the gate.  In any case, run back 
to the exploding barrel and stand as far away as possible from it where 
you can still see it but not be hurt.  When the zombie in front of the 
group is about to walk past the paint cans on the left side of the 
alley, shoot the barrel.  The explosion will wipe out all the zombies 
except the ones still standing around by the corpses.  Shoot only 
enough zombies to make a path to the 2 RED HERBS, then combine the 2 
RED HERBS with the 2 GREEN HERBS to make 2 RED-GREEN HERB MIXTURES.  
Clear a path through the survivors and leave out the gate.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVE:  If the zombies don't crash out at the red barrel, 
you can simply exit the gate after burning off the ropes.  Don't let 
the crawlers get you, or the rest of the pack will have time to catch 
up before you can escape. 

GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

A dog is sleeping on the ground near the door to the ALLEY SAVE ROOM.  
After you get near the fire, another dog will jump from it.  Avoid both 
dogs and get into the save room.

ALLEY SAVE ROOM

Take the GUN POWDER A and the GUN POWDER B.  Take the reloading tool 
you left in the CHEST and use it to make HANDGUN BULLETS and SHOTGUN 
SHELLS.  Now dump everything you've collected in the CHEST except the 
HANDGUN and the HANDGUN BULLETS.  Leave.

GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

Both the dogs are sleeping, so you can easily escape before they even 
stand up.

STREET IN FRONT OF POLICE STATION

Nothing to do here except run up the street and enter the large gate 
past the broken fire hydrant.

POLICE STATION COURTYARD

Hold select to cut the FMV short.

Live Selection->Enter the police station.

We will not be picking up any STARS CARDS.

POLICE STATION MAIN HALL

Take the 3 GREEN HERBS next to the entrance, then take the HANDGUN 
BULLETS at the reception desk and leave out the only other door with no 
barricade.  Do NOT use or combine the GREEN HERBS until I tell you, or 
unless your health status is seriously messed up.

WEST SIDE OFFICE

The zombies in this room will be set up in one of two ways:  all the 
zombies will be packed into the cubicle with Marvin, or they will be 
spread out throughout the office.  If they are in the cubicle, then 
just leave out the door at the other end of the room.  If they are 
spread out, then kill all the zombies on the side of the room with the 
doors and leave.  You will need a clear path later.

EVIDENCE ROOM

Take the BLUE GEM from the blinking drawer, then go to the other 
blinking drawer around the corner and enter these passcodes one at a 
time until one of them unlocks it:  0131, 4011, 0513, 4312.  Even if 
you have to enter all of them, this is much faster than finding a STARS 
CARD and using it on the computer to find the correct passcode.  After 
the drawer opens, take the EMBLEM KEY and leave out the door you didn't 
use to get in.  Also there is a locked drawer in here, on the opposite 
side of the cabinets as the EMBLEM KEY.  We'll unlock it a bit later 
when we get the LOCKPICK.

CORRIDOR IN FRONT OF DARKROOM

Fake right, then left to pass the female zombie.  Run between the two 
male zombies near the stairs and go up them.  Try not to get stuck at 
the railing.

CORRIDOR WITH STATUE

There are two possible scenarios here,  one fat zombie is at the 
landing and a group of regular zombies are near the statue, or vice 
versa.  If the group is at the landing, then they will be difficult to 
slip through without being hurt because of the terrible camera work.  
The fat zombie near the statue won't pose any threat as long as you 
don't let him surprise you around the corner.  If the fat zombie is at 
the landing, you can easily run around him.  Plus, the group of zombies 
further down seem to get stuck on the statue and walls, making it much 
easier to pass through unharmed.

CORRIDOR WITH STARS OFFICE

Before going into the office, walk to the end of the hall and see if 
the random item arrangement decided to put 2 RED HERBS there.  If they 
are there, then combine the 2 RED HERBS with 2 GREEN HERBS to make 2 
RED-GREEN HERB MIXTURES.  You will also have 1 GREEN HERB left over in 
case you dipped into CAUTION and don't want to waste a full-heal item.  
If they are not there, then mix the 3 GREEN HERBS to make 1 LARGE GREEN 
HERB MIXTURE.  Afterwards, enter the STARS OFFICE with the EMBLEM KEY 
and discard it when asked.

STARS OFFICE

There's quite a bit of stuff here to pick up.  Take the HANDGUN BULLETS 
off Barry's desk, the LOCKPICK off of Jill's desk, the GRENADE LAUNCHER 
or the MAGNUM out of the cabinet next to the "communications device", 
and the FIRST AID SPRAY out of the first aid bag next to Rebecca's desk 
if you didn't get the RED HERBS in the hall outside.  Try to leave and 
tap select to avoid hearing the radio message.  Now leave.  

HINT:  If you don't know who owns what desk, check it and you will get 
a message telling you whose desk it is.

CORRIDOR WITH STARS OFFICE 

Go back the way you came since the door around the corner is boarded 
up.

CORRIDOR WITH STATUE

Navigate the zombies and go back down the stairs.  Don't worry, you'll 
find out what that crash was in a minute.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You can get down the stairs before the threatening 
music begins.

CORRIDOR IN FRONT OF DARKROOM

All the zombies have gone, giving you a straight shot out of here.  Run 
down the hall.  Nemesis crashed through the window!  Ignore him and get 
back to the EVIDENCE ROOM as quickly as possible.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You can get out of the room before Nemesis gets a 
chance to say "S.T.A.R.S." twice.


EVIDENCE ROOM

Use your shiny, new LOCKPICK on one of the cabinets near where the BLUE 
GEM was to get a vial of GUN POWDER B.  Go back to the WEST SIDE 
OFFICE.

WEST SIDE OFFICE

If you cleared the side of the room with the doors like I told you, 
then all you will have to worry about is a brief foot race with 
Nemesis.  However, if you left the zombies alive, you will have to wade 
through them while Nemmy's in hot pursuit.  

Personal Horror Story:  Everything was going great.  I had a ton of 
HANDGUN BULLETS, was in perfect health, got the RED HERBS in the 
CORRIDOR WITH STARS OFFICE, but I left most of the wrong zombies in the 
WEST SIDE OFFICE alive.  I was almost to the exit with Nemesis in 
pursuit, when Jill was grabbed from behind by a zombie.  I mashed the 
buttons like mad to break free, and in the distance, I could hear the 
"chuchuck" of Nemmy loading a rocket.  I yelled at Jill to break free 
but Nemesis fired.  But then, a prayer answered.  Right after Jill 
leaned back to shove the zombie off, the rocket zipped past where her 
head was a second earlier!  I escaped out the door before he had a 
chance to fire another rocket.  Anyway, back to more serious things.

POLICE STATION MAIN HALL

You have also taken everything of value here, so leave out the front 
door.  

POLICE STATION COURTYARD

How did it go from day to night so quickly?  Were we really in there 
THAT long?  It seemed like only five minutes!  Maybe Jill has a problem 
with the space-time continuum...ah forget it!  Just leave out the main 
gate.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You can get out the gate before you hear the third 
note of the piano. 

STREET IN FRONT OF POLICE STATION

Run all the way back down the street to the burning car wreck and use 
the LOCKPICK on the rusted door to Jill's left and enter it.

DEAD MERC ALLEY

Take the HANDGUN BULLETS off the dead merc (duh) lying against the 
trash can.  Tap triangle to avoid reading the document.  Head to the 
next door.  Ignore the horribly-pixelated mass climbing up the wall. 

FIRE HOSE ALLEY

Turn left and you will happen across 2 BLUE HERBS and maybe 3 GREEN 
HERBS.  If the GREEN HERBS aren't there, they'll be near the mayor's 
statue at the CITY HALL COURTYARD.  Combine the GREEN HERBS to make 1 
LARGE GREEN HERB MIXTURE.  If you got the RED HERBS at the police 
station, you can use the RED-GREEN HERB MIXTURES with the BLUE HERBS to 
make them BROWN HERB MIXTURES, which not only completely refill your 
health, but also cure poison.  You don't have to, since it's not that 
hard to keep from getting poisoned in this game.  Anyway, after you've 
finished playing with your herb mixing kit, leave out the gate next to 
them.

BUS WRECK

Run straight ahead and pass the first dog, then pass the second dog 
standing between the bus wreck and the single wrecked car.  Then, a 
third dog will appear from behind the bus when you're about to pass it 
completely.  Make a break for the door to the PARKING GARAGE to avoid 
it.

PARKING GARAGE

Ignore the POWER CABLE charging the minivan for now.  Run past the 
first dog.  The second dog is running at you now.  Zig left, then zag 
right when he's about to attack to avoid injury and escape.`

PARKING GARAGE OFFICE

Take the HANDGUN BULLETS off the desk to Jill's immediate left, then go 
to the CHEST and set up your inventory so it's like this:  

HANDGUN, HANDGUN BULLETS
RELOADING TOOL, LOCKPICK
BLUE GEM

Now let's see what's behind door number 2!

B->DOWNTOWN
-----------

STREET NEXT TO CONSTRUCTION SITE

There are three dogs here, but only one is any threat.  Run between the 
first two dogs, then dodge and run past the third one that emerges from 
the alley.  Enjoy the doggy parade as you run for the exit.

CONSTRUCTION SITE

Run straight ahead to trigger the appearance of a new monster, the 
Drain Denimos.  Run past the Demmy on either side and escape out the 
door with caution stripes.

STREET WITH RESTAURANT

Turn right and follow Carlos into the RESTAURANT.  Use the GREEN HERBS 
near the fountain to update your health to FINE.  Don't take anymore 
GREEN HERBS when you are restored completely.

RESTAURANT

First, check the tables to the right for 2 GUN POWDER A'S.  If they are 
there, combine them to make an AA MIXTURE, then combine with the 
RELOADING TOOL to make HANDGUN BULLETS.  If not, they'll appear later 
at the PRESS BUILDING OFFICE.  Now go unlock the cabinet at the rear of 
the kitchen with the LOCKPICK to get the FIREHOOK.  Use the FIREHOOK on 
the hatch blocking the basement.  Tap select when you see Jill start to 
fit the hook in to see a shot of Nemesis at the back door doing THE 
POSE.  Live Selection time!

Live Selection->Hide in the kitchen.

Tap select again.  Watch the short, non-skippable part of the scene.  
After it's over, take the EAGLE PARTS A from Nemesis and leave out the 
back door.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

Tap select to avoid conversation with Carlos.  Run down the hall and 
turn right.  Nemesis is in the room now.  Dash to the SHOPPING DISTRICT 
STOREROOM. 

SHOPPING DISTRICT STORE ROOM

Take the RUSTED CRANK on the tool box (grrr, not that stupid crank 
again!) and the SHOTGUN SHELLS off the shelf.  Set up your inventory 
like this:

HANDGUN, HANDGUN BULLETS 
RELOADING TOOL, BLUE GEM
RUSTED CRANK

Now go back out.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

Nemmy's waiting outside.  Run past him on his right and go to the 
STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK.  If he's not here he'll be at the next room. 

STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK

Remember to run past the big guy on his right side if he appears here.  
If he was in the SHOPPING DISTRICT you'll have a headstart on him to 
get to the PRESS BUILDING.  This will be a long jog so run in a zigzag 
pattern to confuse Nemesis.

PRESS BUILDING

Take the FIRST AID SPRAY.  Push the stepladder under the switchboard 
and activate it.  Then press the button next to the fireproof shutter 
to raise it.  Go up the stairs to the blue door at the top.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You can get the fire shutter up before you hear 
Nemesis growl outside.

PRESS BUILDING OFFICE

Dispose of the zombie in the cubicle.  Take the GREEN GEM and the 2 GUN 
POWDER A's if you didn't find them at the RESTAURANT.  Immediately 
combine them to make an AA MIXTURE.  Use it with the RELOADING TOOL to 
make HANDGUN BULLETS.  After you exit the cubicle, Nemesis makes an 
appearance.  Do whatever is necessary to get out.

PRESS BUILDING

Run down the stairs and leave out the front door.

STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK

One of two things will happen.  Either Nemesis will jump out the 
window, land in front of you, and then do THE POSE, or he'll leave you 
alone.  If he does come, don't worry.  You will only have to move a 
little faster.  Use the GREEN GEM and the BLUE GEM on the clock and 
enter the now unlocked gate.

CITY HALL COURTYARD

Run straight ahead and go through yet another door that looks 
remarkably like the one leading to Chief Irons's Sanctuary :)

ALLEY BEHIND CITY HALL

Lots of sleeping and/or regular zombies, but nothing a few dodges won't 
cure.

"LONSDALE YARD"

Follow the path and take the 2 GREEN HERBS sitting near the trash can.  
Leave.

CABLE CAR YARD

Shoot the barrel when zombies or dogs get near it.  Take the SHOTGUN 
SHELLS off the corpse against the wall.  Climb over the construction 
barricade.  If you killed dogs, another one will emerge from the fire.  
Shoot it down.  If you killed zombies, press R2 when the camera changes 
after passing the barricade.  Jill will aim at a barrel you can't see.  
Fire, and you'll kill another zombie mob sitting near a barrel.  When 
you're the only thing standing, enter the cable car through the rear 
door.

REAR OF CABLE CAR

Tap select to avoid both cinemas and enter the front portion of the 
car.

FRONT OF CABLE CAR

Tap select.  All you see is Carlos handing you a backpack.  Get the 
WRENCH off the seats, and leave out the door next to the control room.

CABLE CAR YARD

You've cleared this room already, so go back from whence you came.

"LONSDALE YARD"

Nothing here either, just keep going back.

ALLEY BEHIND CITY HALL

A zombie will jump out of the wrecked car.  If you look inside, you can 
score a GUN POWDER B.  Use it by itself when you get some time to make 
more SHOTGUN SHELLS.  Now dodge or shoot the zombies to get to the 
exit.

CITY HALL COURTYARD

Go through the iron gate down the left path from Jill's perspective.

OUTSIDE GAS STATION

You may find 2 RED HERBS next to the pumps here. If that happens, use 
the GREEN HERBS you found earlier with them to make RED-GREEN HERB 
MIXTURES.  If they aren't there they'll be at the POWER PLANT ALLEY.  
Anyway, use the RUSTED CRANK on the hole next to the shutter.  When it 
breaks (yes!) use the even more inventory hogging WRENCH.  Enter the 
GAS STATION. 



GAS STATION

There's another random chance of items that appear here.  You could 
find on the table 3 GUN POWDER A's, 3 GUN POWDER B's, both, or nothing 
at all.  If they aren't there, they are either at the POWER PLANT or 
the SALES OFFICE VAULT.  Use the RELOADING TOOL with the AAA 
MIXTURES/BBB MIXTURES you create if they are there, then walk past the 
table.  Tap select to make Carlos magically appear in the room, then 
walk behind the counter and tap select again to make him magically 
disappear from the room as fast as he came.  If you have at least three 
inventory slots available, take the FIRST AID SPRAY off the shelf, then 
walk over to the neat safe that holds the oil.  I'm sure you know how 
to work the puzzle on your own.  Just press the buttons until the only 
button that is lit is the one over the lighted letter (oh yes!  No 
thief would EVER figure out how to work such a COMPLICATED safety 
lock!).  After you've opened the safe, take the MACHINE OIL.  When 
you're almost past the counter, tap select to magically teleport to the 
exit and fill the room with fire (we're good magicians, aren't we? :)  
Get out of here.

OUTSIDE GAS STATION

Tap select to avoid talking with Carlos.  Go towards the exit.  When 
the FMV begins, hold select to shorten it.  Then tap select again to 
avoid a second conversation.  Leave out the gate.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You can get the FMV to start before the "whooph" 
sound disappears.

CITY HALL COURTYARD

Kill all the zombies hiding behind the low-res door when you try to go 
back to the STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK.  Get the GREEN HERBS to make them a 
LARGE GREEN HERB MIXTURE if you have the inventory space.  Then go to 
the statue and press the button on it to get the BRONZE BOOK.  Leave 
out the main gates.

STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK

Just skip across the street back into the SHOPPING DISTRICT.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

Most likely you've got a lot of extra stuff weighing you down, so go 
into the save room.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVE:  Skip over the save room and run from the zombie 
crowd with Carlos.  Only do this if you have at least one free 
inventory slot.  Also, you will have to visit the save room sometime 
before you go to the CONSTRUCTION SITE.

SHOPPING DISTRICT STOREROOM

Dump all your extra gear and set up your inventory in this way:

HANDGUN, HANDGUN BULLETS
SHOTGUN (fully loaded), RELOADING TOOL
FULL HEALING ITEM (optional), BRONZE BOOK

Note that I said NOT to bring a box of SHOTGUN SHELLS.  We will only be 
using the SHOTGUN to kill the Drain Denimoses/Brain Suckers at the 
CONSTRUCTION SITE, so I think 7 SHOTGUN SHELLS will be enough.  Now 
leave.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

A new group of zombies has appeared in this room. Evade/shoot them, 
then turn right at the fork.  Go out the door at the end of this hall.

STREET WITH RESTAURANT

Go to the fountain and use the BRONZE BOOK on the right hole, then take 
the BRONZE COMPASS from the left hole.  Pick up any GREEN HERBS you 
left earlier.  Go back the way you came.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

Kill all zombies that are standing on the paths between you and the 
STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK.  Go there.

STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK

When you step out of the little nook, dogs or crows will crash through 
the window to the right.  If it's crows, just run for the gate.  Dogs 
are a little harder.  Run straight ahead in the new direction Jill 
faces after the cut scene, then after you've got enough room to get 
through the pack, run for the gate.  You may get bitten once or twice 
if you're slow.

CITY HALL COURTYARD

Give the statue the BRONZE COMPASS, and it will trade it for a BATTERY!  
:) Accept the offer, then go back out the gates again.

STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK

Dogs or crows, neither will be fast enough to catch you as you duck 
into the SHOPPING DISTRICT.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

Make tracks for the STREET WITH RESTAURANT.

STREET WITH RESTAURANT

Go into the yellow-striped door across the way.

CONSTRUCTION SITE 

Take out your SHOTGUN and kill the first Drain Deminos/Brain Sucker 
before he gets a chance to drain you (Be careful.  You only have 7 
shots).  Then examine the corpse you left behind earlier to get GUN 
POWDER A.  Use it with the RELOADING TOOL for some HANDGUN BULLETS.  
Then kill another DD/BS around the corner.  Go up the stairs and put 
the BATTERY in the slot next to the elevator.  Take the elevator down.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION ZONE

Take the HANDGUN BULLETS off the dead construction worker, then fire 
whatever ammo is left in the SHOTGUN at the crowd of zombies closing in 
(3 shots at most).  Next, use the HANDGUN to clear a path up the 
street.  You can also use the dynamite taped to the wall, but it's in 
an awkward position.  Any way you do it, get through the old iron gate 
next to the overturned dump truck. 

POWER PLANT ALLEY

There is nothing here of interest except a possible chance for some RED 
HERBS.  If they weren't OUTSIDE GAS STATION, then they'll be here.  If 
you found them there, then the RED HERBS won't be here.  You know what 
to do with them if you do find them here.  Leave through the chain link 
gate.  

POWER PLANT

Run over to the terminal with a shiny, red button.  When it asks if you 
would like to set it to manual mode, say "Yes."  BTW, the camera 
changed to show you a desk in a back corner.  There is a possible 
chance for 3 GUN POWDER B's here.  However, you might have already 
found them at the GAS STATION, or they're at the SALES OFFICE VAULT, 
which we'll be visiting later.  Next, go to the other terminal and 
enter these sequences:  Red – Blue – Blue – Blue, then Red – Red – 
Red 
– Blue.  Both of the heavy shutters will raise up after entering each 
code.  Enter the door nearest the terminal and take the FUSE.  As you 
leave the room, press select.

Live Selection->Increase electricity output.

Tap select again, and watch all the zombie brains pop.  Then enter the 
other room and check the locker to get either the MAGNUM or the GRENADE 
LAUNCHER, whichever you didn't find at the STARS OFFICE back in the 
police station.  After collecting all items, leave out the gate.


POWER PLANT ALLEY

Step over the rather disgusting corpses and leave out the other gate.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION ZONE

Dodge/shoot the zombies you left alive and take the elevator back up.

CONSTRUCTION SITE

Nothing here since we already killed all the monsters.  Walk through 
the passage until you come to the fork and turn left and enter that 
door.

STREET NEXT TO CONSTRUCTION SITE

The dogs you had that parade with are now gone, replaced by a zombie 
mob.  Dodge/shoot them, and make sure to run near the wrecked police 
car.  A zombie may pop out of it, and on the seat is a box of GRENADE 
ROUNDS.  Continue to dodge/shoot back to the PARKING GARAGE OFFICE.

PARKING GARAGE OFFICE

Set up your inventory like this:

HANDGUN, HANDGUN BULLETS
SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN SHELLS 
MACHINE OIL, FULL HEALING ITEM
RELOADING TOOL, WRENCH

Go back to the PARKING GARAGE.

C->UPTOWN REVISITED
-------------------

PARKING GARAGE 

The dogs are still here, but they are as lazy as ever, making it easy 
to pass them.

BUS WRECK

One of two things will happen, the street will be silent, or the dogs 
you left alive earlier will be here.  If the street is clear, check the 
corpse behind the bus for a GUN POWDER B.  As you walk past the bus, 
crows will crash through the windows.  Keep running for the exit and 
they'll never catch you.  If the dogs are still here, zig zag to fake 
them out and escape into the FIRE HOSE ALLEY.

FIRE HOSE ALLEY

Run all the way down the alley to the fire hydrant and trade the WRENCH 
for the FIRE HOSE.  Now go into the door you passed on the way there.

DEAD MERC ALLEY

Two Drain Deminoses/Brain Suckers have invaded the alley.  Run to the 
first corner as quickly as possible and shoot the barrel.  If you were 
fast enough, both DD/BS's will die, giving you a clear path to the 
exit.  If you hesitated one or both may survive, kill them and proceed 
to the exit.

STREET IN FRONT OF POLICE STATION

The street has either been overrun by dogs or several zombie cops.  If 
there are dogs, grab their attention and blast them with the shotgun.  
If there are zombies, kill enough so that you can easily cross this 
area again without having to fight.  Now leave through the gate across 
the street.

GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

Use the FIRE HOSE on the hydrant to put out the fire.  Now go down the 
newly opened passageway.  If you used up your FULL HEALING ITEM on the 
way here, get another one from the ALLEY SAVE ROOM.

ALLEY FROM GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

Take the BLUE HERBS if you want to and leave out the other door.  The 
zombies you can see in the windows won't crash out.

LANE IN FRONT OF OFFICE

Take the SQUARE CRANK off the garbage, then kill the Drain 
Deminos/Brain Sucker off screen.  Next kill the other one in front of 
the double doors.  Go through them.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVE: Don't pick up the SQUARE CRANK.

SALES OFFICE

Tap select immediately to skip a cinema, then use the remote on the TV 
(tap triangle to avoid reading the file).  Then use the name of the 
product that appears as the password for the computer.  There are three 
possible solutions:

AQUACURE
SAFSPRIN
ADRAVIL

Afterwards, enter the now unlocked door.

SALES OFFICE VAULT

Go all the way down the hall.  If you didn't find the 3 GUN POWDER B'S 
or the 3 GUN POWDER A'S at the GAS STATION or the POWER PLANT, they're 
here.  Take the OIL ADDITIVE off the shelf and combine it with the 
MACHINE OIL to get MIXED OIL.  Now try to leave.  When the FMV begins, 
hold select.  Zombies are closing in now.  Get near the steam valve the 
zombies are about to pass and shoot it.  Steam will burst out and kill 
any zombies that try to pass through it.  When the steam stops, 
dodge/shoot your way back to the exit.

SALES OFFICE

Run right to avoid the zombies behind the desk.  After you get around 
the desk and the shelf, watch out for the zombie trio, especially the 
fast female one lurking off screen.  Kill them with SHOTGUN headshots 
and get back into the entrance room.  The fast female zombie won't pose 
a threat if you get out the door fast enough.

LANE IN FRONT OF OFFICE

We've already cleaned this area of items and monsters, so just leave 
out the way you came.

ALLEY FROM GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

There's nothing here, either, so just go.

GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

************************ 

Make a sharp right at the fork, and go through that gate.  Stay away 
fire hose!

BARRICADE ALLEY 

The alley is clear, for the moment.  When you walk a little ways, 
zombies will crash out of the windows.  Since they are lying down, you 
can easily get past them before they can climb to their feet.  Just 
don't get stuck on the pallets or the paint cans.

ALLEY BEHIND BAR JACK

Go back to the court where you saw Brad shoot that zombie at the start 
of the game.  Use the SQUARE CRANK on the hole next to the shutter.  
Take all the GRENADE ROUNDS.  Now go back the way you came.

BARRICADE ALLEY

Dodge/shoot the zombies to the exit.

GARBAGE COLLECTION ALLEY

************************


Okay, now we are ready to begin what I like to call the Cable Car 
Gauntlet!  A bunch of extra powerful monsters and natural forces will 
plague you all throughout your long trek back to the cable car.  Now, 
to get started, walk past the fire hose.  You will trigger an 
unstoppable cut scene.  Nemesis comes in through the gate with his 
bazooka and does THE POSE.  He thinks you look thirsty, so he'll bash 
the fire hose and water will splash out.  Run past him and get out.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVE:  Ignore everything between the rows of stars.

STREET IN FRONT OF POLICE STATION

Now you know why I told you to clear a path through this area.  Quickly 
get across the street and though the rusted door.

DEAD MERC ALLEY

We've already killed everything here, so as long as you don't get stuck 
at the corners, Nemmy will seldom catch you.  If he tries to use the 
rocket launcher he'll never catch you! 

FIRE HOSE ALLEY

Another brief pursuit with Nemmy.  He might hit you here if you're 
slow.  Or even worse, he'll use his rocket launcher which is bad since 
we're in such a straight and wide open corridor.  Duck out into the 
gate.

BUS WRECK

For some reason, Nemesis will stop chasing you after you get here.  
There are only crows here, either hiding in the bus, or already flying 
around.  Just ignore them and go to the PARKING GARAGE.

PARKING GARAGE

Take the POWER CABLE, and try to pass the van.  Tap select.  Another 
added surprise of the Cable Car Gauntlet.

Live Selection->Climb up

Leave.

PARKING GARAGE OFFICE

Setup your inventory like this:

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN SHELLS or HANDGUN, HANDGUN BULLETS 
MIXED OIL, POWER CABLE
FUSE, RELOADING TOOL
FULL HEALING ITEM

Leave.

D->DOWNTOWN REVISITED
---------------------

STREET NEXT TO CONSTRUCTION SITE

The zombies you left alive are the monsters here.  If the zombie didn't 
come out of the police car the first time, he will now.  Take the 
GRENADE ROUNDS from the car and leave.

CONSTRUCTION SITE
 
Everything here is already finished, so go to the STREET WITH 
RESTAURANT.

STREET WITH RESTAURANT

Turn left and go to the SHOPPING DISTRICT.  You've already done 
everything you can here, too.

SHOPPING DISTRICT

Dodge/shoot your way back to the STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK.

STREET WITH FIRE TRUCK

Run across the street without stopping.  Dogs or crows, neither will 
catch you.

CITY HALL COURTYARD

Try to go back to the cable car.  Nemesis will appear and do THE POSE.  
Evade him and get back to the ALLEY BEHIND CITY HALL.

ALLEY BEHIND CITY HALL

Nemesis won't follow you, and all that stands in your way are lots o' 
standing and sleeping zombies.  No trouble, right?

"LONSDALE YARD"

Walk a little way.  There's a tremor.  Walk some more.  When the second 
tremor comes, tap select.

GRAVEDIGGER SEWER

We see Jill staring at a wall.  Then Gravedigger comes, starting the 
next part of the Cable Car Gauntlet.  After the scene, do a 180, and 
press the switch in the alcove.  Do another 180 and get out of there 
before Earthworm Jim can get you.  Quickly run to the alcove on the 
other side of the hall and press the other switch.  Use the same 
procedure to get out.  Now press the switch next to the ladder, and 
then tap X as fast as you can to escape.  If Gravedigger should get to 
a switch before you, you'll have to lure him away by running to another 
alcove.  Then you can try again.

CABLE CAR YARD

Enter the cable car through the back door.

REAR OF CABLE CAR

Congratulations!  You have successfully completed the Cable Car 
Gauntlet!  Use the MIXED OIL, POWER CABLE, and FUSE on the broken 
panel.  Tap select.  Carlos is offering you a box of 6 FLAME ROUNDS as 
a prize.  Accept the deal.  Run to the other section of the cable car.

FRONT OF CABLE CAR

Tap select.  You can now hear that dreaded song that is the Nemesis 
"quiet" theme.  Go to the rear again.

REAR OF CABLE CAR

Oh, it looks like Nemesis was looking for a ride so he decided to hitch 
one on yours.  He then does THE POSE.  Do a 180 after the cinema.  Try 
to leave.  Tap select again to cancel the brief cinema.  Then hold 
select for the FMV.

FRONT OF CABLE CAR

Watch the brief cinema and enjoy the high energy music.

Live Selection->Jump out the window.

Hold select for another FMV.

E->CLOCK TOWER AS JILL
----------------------

BEDROOM

Jill wakes up.  Run through the hole in the wall and try to pass the 
bed.  You'll get a brief cutscene of zombies entering the room through 
the blazing fire.  There is a chance for 2 GUN POWDER B'S and 2 GUN 
POWDER A'S here.  If they are there, then quickly swipe them off the 
table and use them to make 2 GUN POWDER C'S.  Then mix the GUN POWDER 
C'S to make a CC MIXTURE.  Examine the painting of the woman to get a 
CLOCK TOWER KEY.  Now leave before the zombies catch up.

LIVING ROOM 

Get some GRENADE ROUNDS from the CHEST and use them with the CC MIXTURE 
(if you got it) to get 12 FREEZE ROUNDS.  Then setup your inventory 
like this:

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN SHELLS
CLOCK TOWER KEY, RELOADING TOOL
FREEZE ROUNDS (if you got them), FULL HEALING ITEM (optional)

Use the CLOCK TOWER KEY on the other door and leave.

STUDY

Run down the hall.  Press select to terminate the cutscene.  Carlos is 
offering you another gift, this time a box of 6 FREEZE ROUNDS.  Take 
them as well.  Then press select again.  Carlos has magically vanished 
from the room.  You might find another box of GRENADE ROUNDS on the 
small table next to you.  If they aren't there, you'll find them over 
the fireplace in the DINING ROOM.  Leave out the light brown door.

FOYER

Pry the MINE THROWER from the dead corpse's fingers.  If you need it, 
there is a FIRST AID SPRAY lying on one of the tables.  Leave through 
the light brown double doors across from the door you used to get in 
here.  

DINING ROOM

This room has a few monster scenarios.  Most of the time you will 
encounter crawling, sleeping, and standing zombies, but there is also a 
chance for some Drain Deminoses/Brain Suckers.  The crawlers and 
sleepers can be difficult to see because of the camera angles, so to 
"see" them, you can try facing away from the narrow path created by the 
table, then pressing R1 to aim automatically at any hiding zombies.  If 
you encounter DD/BS's, use the dining table to split them up so you 
don't get double-teamed.  Anyway, your ultimate objective here is to 
leave out the door in the small alcove.  Also, if you didn't find the 
GRENADE ROUNDS in the study, they will be over the fireplace.

BALL ROOM

There is nothing here, so go into the CHAPEL which is right across the 
room from the door you used to enter here.

CHAPEL 

If you didn't find the GUN POWDER A'S and B'S in the BEDROOM, you will 
find them here at the front of the room where the organ and altar are.  
Get some GRENADE ROUNDS from the CHEST and use them with the CC MIXTURE 
you create to make 12 FREEZE ROUNDS.  Also take the other CLOCK TOWER 
KEY from the draped cabinet.  Make sure you have both CLOCK TOWER KEYS 
with you when you leave.

BALL ROOM

When you pass the piano, zombies will crash in through the windows.  
Fire a round from the SHOTGUN to stall them, then escape out the black 
door near the piano.

CLOCK TOWER COURTYARD

There are several possible scenarios here:  you are attacked by 3 dogs, 
or you are attacked by a pack of crows, or the courtyard is empty.  If 
you are attacked by dogs, stay where you are and blast them as they 
come close.  If you encounter crows or nothing just go pick up the 3 
GREEN HERBS first, then take as many BLUE HERBS as you can.  Dog people 
should do the same.  Reenter the clock tower through the main entrance.  
Don't do anything with the herbs until I tell you, unless you are 
poisioned, in which case you should use a BLUE HERB.

FOYER

Go up the stairs.  Say "Oooh, I'm SO SCARED!" mockingly when you hear 
the growl.

UPPER FOYER

There are 3 spiders here, but they are too slow to catch you.  Run 
under the first spider, run around the second spider, and pass the 
third spider hanging on the wall.  Leave out ANOTHER door that looks 
remarkably like the one that leads into Chief Irons's Sanctuary :)

BALCONY

Use the CLOCK TOWER KEY on the plate in the wall and discard it, then 
use the RED HERBS to make some BROWN HERB MIXTURES or RED-GREEN HEBB 
MIXTURES.  Climb up the newly discovered ladder.  

MACHINERY ROOM 

Take the SILVER GEAR off the shelf next to the typewriter and the MINE 
THROWER ROUNDS off the shelf next to the CHEST, or take the 2 GUN 
POWDER A'S next to the typewriter.  Then go over to the music box.  It 
will play an ear-splitting song.  Then the camera will focus on a panel 
on the music box.  The solution to the puzzle is to put all the 
switches in the correct places so the melody is repeated without any 
notes out of tune.  After you place a switch, the part of the melody it 
controls will either play correctly or out of tune.  If it is out of 
tune then simply put it in the other position.  After you've checked 
all the switches, press play and (hopefully) the melody will play 
correctly.  Your prize for putting up with that awful song is the 
CHRONOS CHAIN.  Combine the CHRONOS CHAIN with the CLOCK TOWER KEY you 
have left over to get the CHRONOS KEY.  Take the SILVER GEAR and the 
EAGLE PARTS A with you when you leave.

BALCONY

Try to leave.  Nemesis will appear.

Live Selection->Use the cord.

Tap select.  Nemesis will just collapse to the floor for some reason.  
Maybe something he ate?  Take the EAGLE PARTS B and combine them with 
the EAGLE PARTS A to get the STI EAGLE HANDGUN!  Too bad it's almost 
worthless now.  Resume your pace and leave. 

SPEED INDICATOR:  Get out the door before the violin music of the song 
begins. 

UPPER FOYER 

The spiders have scattered.  Nemesis will now play a short game of hide 
and seek with you.  He will either pursue you here or stay in the last 
room.  If he pursues you, run in a zig zag pattern to avoid his 
punches.  Get back to the stairs.

FOYER

Yet another random Nemesis appearance.  He will either follow you down 
the stairs (even if you didn't see him in the UPPER FOYER), or he will 
leave you alone.  Exit out the only single door.  

STUDY

If you haven't seen Nemesis yet, he is here.  Quickly run to the green 
door and unlock it with the CHRONOS KEY (discard).  Leave.

SPEED INDICATOR:  Get out the door before you see Nemesis appear from 
off-screen.

SPIDER HALL

Nemesis will give up after you enter this room.  Take the GRENADE 
ROUNDS off the mummified corpse and evade the spiders.  Leave through 
the door at the other end of the hall.

GODDESS ROOM

Take the MINE THROWER ROUNDS out of the workshop or whatever it is, 
gather up the AMBER STONE, OBSIDIAN STONE, and CRYSTAL STONE from the 
statues, and lastly check the time on the clock in the center painting.  
Use the table below to determine the sequence of stones.

TIME     SEQUENCE(PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE)
----     -----------------------------
5:00     CRYSTAL-OBSIDIAN-AMBER
6:00     CRYSTAL-AMBER-OBSIDIAN
7:00     OBSIDIAN-CRYSTAL-AMBER
9:00     OBSIDIAN-AMBER-CRYSTAL
10:00    AMBER-CRYSTAL-OBSIDIAN
11:00    AMBER-OBSIDIAN-CRYSTAL

After the stones are in order, take the GOLD GEAR from the center 
painting.  Combine the GOLD GEAR with the SILVER GEAR to get the 
CHRONOS GEAR.  You can leave now.

SPIDER HALL

Evade the spiders and get back to the other end of the hall.

STUDY

Go back to the FOYER through the other door you can see in the first 
camera angle.

FOYER

Go up the stairs.

UPPER FOYER

The spiders still have not returned, so you have a clear path to the 
next room.

BALCONY

Go up the ladder.

MACHINERY ROOM

Use the CHRONOS GEAR on the machinery next to the CHEST.  The clock's 
bells will start ringing.  Now set up your inventory like this:

GRENADE LAUNCHER (loaded with FREEZE ROUNDS), MAGNUM (optional)
MINE THROWER, MINETHROWER ROUNDS (both optional)
FULL HEALING ITEM, FULL HEALING ITEM
FULL HEALING ITEM, INK RIBBONS
MORE HEALING ITEMS (optional)

I strongly recommend you save your game.  Leave after doing so.

BALCONY

The place is empty, but now we have cool bell sounds! (BONG! BONG!) 
After enjoying the noise, leave.

SPEED INDICATOR:  Get out the door before the third chime of the bells 
after the screen fades in. 

CLOCK TOWER COURTYARD

Hold select for the FMV, then press select to skip the cutscene.  This 
is the hardest battle in the game, and yet it is so easy with the 
proper planning.  Nemesis has his bazooka, you are infected with the T-
virus, and the helicopter wreckage that we magically conjured up out of 
nowhere is blocking all routes of escape!  And now Nemesis is slowly 
coming towards you to finish the job!  When you gain control, pound him 
with FREEZE ROUNDS until you hear the "chuchuck" of Nemesis reloading 
the rocket launcher.  Run circles around him until he fires, then while 
he's loading another rocket, shoot him with a FREEZE ROUND.  Then start 
running around him again before he can fire.  Eventually, he'll get 
angry cuz he can't hit you and will try to whomp you on the head with 
that tube of steel.  Pound him at point-blank with FREEZE ROUNDS.  
After five rockets, he will try to shoot you again, but when he 
realizes it's empty, he will break it in half like a stick!  Then, he 
will do THE POSE.  Meanwhile you've smacked him with several FREEZE 
ROUNDS.  If he falls down, shoot him while he's getting up and doing 
the THE POSE.  Use a full-healing item after every two hits from the 
rockets, or after every four blows from the side of the rocket 
launcher.  When Nemesis begins to retreat, tap select.  You will see 
Jill lying on the ground with Carlos.

F->CLOCK TOWER AND HOSPITAL AS CARLOS
-------------------------------------  

CHAPEL

After Jill says "I can't believe...I'm still alive.", rapidly tap 
select when the screen fades in to cancel the cutscene.  We are now 
playing as Carlos.  He has only 15 HANDGUN BULLETS for his HANDGUN and 
300 AR BULLETS for his ASSAULT RIFLE.  300 bullets may sound like a lot 
of ammo, but the ASSAULT RIFLE eats it away like candy, so we will try 
to conserve as much as possible.  Go to the CHEST and dump the INK 
RIBBONS.  Leave.

BALL ROOM

All you have to do to get through this room safely is run at top speed 
in a straight line from the first door to the second door. 

DINING ROOM

This room can be difficult to escape without getting bitten at least 
once.  Evade as best as you can to the door.  Only use your weapons in 
an emergency.  You'll need a lot of ammo for what's coming soon.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You can get out of the room without being bitten 
while taking a direct path to the door.

FOYER

The FOYER has partially collapsed because of the helicopter wreckage we 
magically conjured up a few minutes ago by tapping select.  The only 
way to go now is into the STUDY. 

STUDY

Go to the green door.

SPIDER HALL

Most of the time you will have to deal with spiders, or you will 
encounter Drain Demioses here.  Either way, evade them and go to the 
door at the other end of the hall.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You get through the whole room without being hit 
once.

GODDESS ROOM

The room is clear.  Whew.  Push the bell aside to access AGAIN ANOTHER 
door that looks like the one leading to Chief Irons's Sanctuary!  Does 
he market those?

STREET WITH HOSPITAL

There is a long passage to the hospital from here, and plenty of 
zombies to fill in the space.  Fortunately, they are not all packed 
into a group for once.  They are spread out along the path.  Plus the 
path is wide enough to dodge them easily, so evade your way to the 
entrance.

HOSPITAL LOBBY

Walk a little ways to trigger a scene where you are reintroduced to the 
Hunter.  When you gain control again, let loose with the ASSAULT RIFLE.  
Watch out for his buddy who will make an appearance shortly after you 
kill him.  When they are both dead, take the RED HERBS from the nook 
they came out of.  Go into the door next to the receptionists' desk.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVE:  Duck into the door after regaining control since 
it is only two steps away.

HOSPITAL OFFICE

Take the FIRST AID SPRAY if you want it and leave out the other door in 
this room.

PRIVATE OFFICE

Take the HANDGUN BULLETS from the locker if you want it and the TAPE 
RECORDER off the desk.  Now activate the voice lock next to the 
elevator.  Use the TAPE RECORDER.  The elevator will switch on.  Take 
it to 4F.

4F HALLWAY

One of two things will happen, the doors open and nothing will attack, 
or the doors open and a zombie mob attacks.  If the latter occurs, rip 
them up with the ASSAULT RIFLE.  Now go to the door that is straight 
down the hall from you (not right).

"DATA ROOM"

Tap select.  There is a chance you will find HANDGUN BULLETS in the 
first camera angle behind Carlos.  If they are not there, you will find 
them in the locker in the BASEMENT LABORATORY.  Take the SICKROOM KEY 
near the bottles of chemicals.  Leave.

4F HALLWAY

Go down the hall to the left.  Enter the first door you come to.

ROOM 401      

You will either be greeted by worms or sleeping zombies.  Check the 
doctor corpse for a number on a slip of paper.  Memorize it.  Also look 
for a metallic cart in a corner that is low res.  Memorize its position 
in the room.  There may or may not be GREEN HERBS here.  If they are 
not here, they will be in the BASEMENT LABORATORY. Leave.

4F HALLWAY

Go to the next door in this hall.  Use and discard the SICKROOM KEY on 
it.

ROOM 402

Push the metallic cart to the corner of the room opposite where it was 
in ROOM 401.  The painting on the wall will fall away to reveal a 
hidden cabinet.  Use the code you got from the doctor's slip to open 
it.  Take the VACCINE BASE out of the cabinet.  Leave this place.

4F HALLWAY

Go back to the elevator.  Take it down to B3.

B3 HALLWAY

If you encountered zombies upstairs, then they won't be here, and vice 
versa.  Cut them down with the ASSAULT RIFLE if they are here and go 
out the door at the other end of the hall.

BASEMENT LABORATORY

Gun down the first Hunter, then either toast the other one with the 
dynamite or gun him down as normal.  If you want it, and it's here and 
not upstairs, there is a box of HANDGUN BULLETS in a locker.  If you 
didn't find the GREEN HERBS in ROOM 401, then they will be behind the 
place where the second Hunter appeared.  Go out the next door.

HUNTER FACTORY

Oh gosh, there are Hunters in capsules!  And you can bet anything they 
won't just quietly sit there like part of the decor.  Anyway, take the 
MEDIUM BASE and throw the switch.  Then use the MEDIUM BASE on the 
synthesizer.  You can now see a fancy control panel.  Well, here's a 
guess I have totally picked at random:  I, III, then A.  It worked?  
Lady Luck's at my side :)  Take the VACCINE MEDIUM and combine it with 
the VACCINE BASE to make the VACCINE.  Try to leave and the Hunters 
will crash out just as we predicted.  Fortunately, the programmers 
prolonged this "surprise" attack too much.  Any fool could easily get 
to the exit since it's only four steps away.

BASEMENT LABORATORY

Nothing here, because you already dealt with the Hunters.  Leave.

B3 HALLWAY

Hold R2+X if you didn't see zombies earlier to instantly kill a Hunter.  
Run a little farther and another Hunter will pop out.  Kill him too and 
take the elevator back to 1F.

PRIVATE OFFICE

You will either encounter Hunters or zombies.  Gun them down and head 
for the exit.

HOSPITAL OFFICE

Nothing here to do except pass through on the way to the entrance.

HOSPITAL LOBBY

Carlos spots a time bomb attached to the wall!  And it will detonate in 
approximately...7 seconds!  Quick, get outta there!

SPEED INDICATOR:  Get out of the lobby with 5 seconds or more still on 
the clock.

STREET WITH HOSPITAL

Hold select to skip the FMV.  Go back inside the clock tower.

GODDESS ROOM

Who's making all that noise?  While you were gone, a pack of zombies 
has taken another victim and they are all enjoying their meal...or you 
encountered worms.  Either way, you have enough time to get out before 
there is unnecessary fighting.

SPIDER HALL

Slip past all the monsters.  Do not worry if you are poisoned or about 
the noise overhead.

STUDY

Go back out the other door you can see in the first camera angle.

FOYER

When you're about halfway across the room, tap select.  Nemesis has 
magically appeared in the room.  Do a 180 and leave.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You get out of the room before Nemesis gets a chance 
to swing those tentacles or starts running after you.

DINING ROOM

The zombies have dispersed, so leave out the other door.  

BALL ROOM

Nemmy will run in through the window.  Avoid him and get into the 
CHAPEL.

CHAPEL

Use the VACCINE on Jill.  Rapidly tap select when Carlos begins to bend 
over to apply it.  You will hear Jill groan a bit, then she will be 
alone.  Set up you inventory this way:  

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN SHELLS
LOCKPICK (important!), FULL HEALING ITEM

I labeled the LOCKPICK as important because countless times I have 
forgotten it and had to run all the way back here from the STREET WITH 
HOSPITAL.  I don't want you to make the same mistake.  Leave.

G->CLOCK TOWER AND PARK AS JILL
------------------------------

BALL ROOM/DINING ROOM

Walk out into the open.  Nemmy will crush the door with his mighty 
tentacles and run at you.  Evade on his right side and run out the 
double doors.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You get away from Nemesis so he stops his tentacles 
in mid-swing.

FOYER

There is a short pursuit, but Nemesis won't catch you as long as you 
don't get caught on the rubble.

STUDY

Head for the green door (surprise!).

SPIDER HALL

The spiders have gone, leaving you with a clear path.  Again you will 
have another brief race with the Big N.

GODDESS HALL

You can still hear Nemesis's music but he won't follow you anymore.  
Strange.  Leave out the door you cleared as Carlos.

STREET WITH HOSPITAL (or what's left of it)

Run across the street and use the LOCKPICK for the last time on the 
door with the window.  Enter.

PARK OFFICE

Take the GRENADE ROUNDS or MINE THROWER ROUNDS from the locker, and 
take a box of MINE THROWER ROUNDS or GRENADE ROUNDS off the table.  
Grab the PARK KEY off the bulletin board.  Bring this stuff in your 
inventory:

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN ROUNDS
LIGHTER, RELOADING TOOL
FULL HEALING ITEM (optional)

Leave.  

STREET WITH HOSPITAL (or what's left of it)

Evade the two zombies between you and the park's gates.  Use and 
discard the PARK KEY.  Enter Raccoon Park.

PARK CENTRAL PLAZA

You are greeted by either worms or hunters hiding in the fountains.  
Evade both and get down the stairs on the far right of this area.

POND WALK

This area has random monsters also.  You are greeted by zombies or 
Hunters that jump out of the pond.  If there are zombies, simply gun 
them all down and head across the bridge to the next area.  If there 
are Hunters, you can escape them fairly easily because they must jump 
from the pond before attacking.

PATHWAY IN PARK

Yet another room with a random monster tossup.  You are attacked by 
either three dogs or three (!) Hunters.  Dogs are easy to kill, just 
let them get close and blast 'em.  Then while they are down, stand over 
them and shoot them on the ground till they die.  Hunters are harder 
since they can leap at you from across the room.  Wait until they are 
fairly close and blast them twice.  You can also use the exploding 
barrel to help.  Take another PARK KEY off the first dead merc, and 
take the MAGNUM BULLETS off the other merc farther ahead you find here.  
Go back the way you came.

POND WALK

If you left the Hunters alive, then now is the time to kill them.  If 
you confronted zombies and killed them all, simply leave.

PARK CENTRAL PLAZA

Cross the small bridge and open the gate over on the other side of the 
plaza.

FOUNTAIN AREA

Run straight ahead and you will find 3 GREEN HERBS and 2 BLUE HERBS.  
You can either mix all the GREEN HERBS to get one LARGE GREEN HERB 
MIXTURE, or save them for a little later when you get some RED HERBS.  
You can save the BLUE HERBS to make BROWN HERB MIXTURE if you want to.  
Next, run to the blue machine to be presented with a simple puzzle.  
I'll let you do this one on your own since it's so easy.  After the 
water drains from the fountain, a ladder is exposed.  Go down it.

PARK DRAINAGE PIPE

Run against the flow of the water until you reach the next platform, 
then climb up the ladder.  Ignore the worms raining down from above.

GRAVEYARD

Several zombies will climb out of their graves to get you, but they are 
too slow to claw through the dirt to catch you.  Use the PARK KEY on 
the door at the end of the right fork of the snaking path.  BTW, if you 
turn left at the fork, you can find 2 RED HERBS, but you will have to 
kill two, maybe three extra zombies.  Nothing you shouldn't be able 
handle if you made it this far.

GRAVEYARD SHED

Pick up the IRON PIPE from the cabinet, then use the LIGHTER on the 
wood in the fireplace (discard).  Then use the IRON PIPE on the 
fireplace.  A secret passage is exposed.  Don't enter it yet, though.  
You will find 2 GUN POWDER A'S and B'S on the table.  I'll let you 
decide what to do with them.  Go into the other door.  

GRAVEYARD SAVE ROOM

Set up your inventory like this:

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN SHELLS
STI EAGLE, FULL HEALING ITEM
FULL HEALING ITEM

Save if you want to.  No HANDGUN BULLETS!  Leave.

GRAVEYARD SHED

Go into the secret passage.

GRAVEYARD SECRET ROOM

Take the GRENADE ROUNDS off the shelves, and the last PARK KEY off the 
table.  Try to leave.  Tap select to avoid the radio communication.  
Leave.

GRAVEYARD SHED

Tap select to avoid communication with Nicholai.  Go out into the 
GRAVEYARD.

GRAVEYARD 

Equip the STI EAGLE. Then run forward.  Hold select to avoid the FMV.  
This fight isn't as unfair as it may seem.  Hold up+Square to run 
straight ahead and barely miss the Gravedigger.  Now run to the other 
side of the U-shaped arena Gravedigger has created.  Stand a few feet 
away from the very end of the path.  Now Gravedigger will do one of two 
attack patterns for the rest of the fight.

Pattern 1:  Gravedigger comes out of the ground entirely for a full 
assault.  To stall him, get in front of him and he will rear up to 
slash you with his teeth.  While he is doing that, run away from him.  
He will miss and go back underground.

Pattern 2:  Gravedigger pops up out of the ground for a quick bite then 
dives back.

Standing at the end of the path, Gravedigger will usually attempt 
pattern 2, which you can easily evade by running forward a few steps as 
he emerges, then running back to where you were standing before.  After 
a few minutes, you'll see a cutscene of two lamp posts being shaken 
loose.  Run over to those lamp posts and shoot them.  Stand in the area 
with the water but DO NOT step into it.  A few moments later, the 
electricity will fry Gravedigger and all you used during the fight was 
two bullets :)  Climb up the fence that shook loose to get out of here.

PARK DRAINAGE PIPE

Avoid the worms and get back to the ladder at the other end of the 
passage.

FOUNTAIN AREA

The music has changed for this area, and man is it cool!  There is 
nothing more for you to do here except leave for the plaza.

PARK CENTRAL PLAZA

Kill the single bridge zombie and leave down the stairs on the other 
side of the area.

POND WALK

We have already destroyed everything here, so just go to the next area.

PATH IN PARK

Go to the end of the path and use the final PARK KEY on the rather 
securely locked gate.  Enter.

FACTORY BRIDGE

Run up and step onto the bridge.  Rapidly tap select to cancel 
Nemesis's dramatic entrance and see THE POSE.  

Live Selection->Jump off.

Tap select again to hasten your exit.

H->DEAD FACTORY
---------------

WATER WASTE OUTLET 

Climb into the opening where water is spilling out, and climb up the 
ladder you come to.

WATER WASTE CANAL 

Climb up the first ledge you come to and enter the door on it.

SEWAGE MONITOR ROOM

Take the WATER SAMPLE off the flashing thingamabob, and see what's 
behind Door Number 2!

WATER TESTING ROOM

Go down the stairs.  Another random item arrangement.  You could find 3 
GUN POWDER A'S, 3 GUN POWDER B'S, both, or nothing at all.  If you get 
both, immediately use them to make a CCC MIXTURE.  If you find one 
group or the other, save them because the other group is coming later 
for you to make a CCC MIXTURE.  Take the FIRST AID SPRAY if you want it 
and insert the WATER SAMPLE in the large machine dominating the far 
wall.  This is easily the most frustrating puzzle in the whole Resident 
Evil series!  Fortunately there are only four solutions that I will 
list for you:

FIRST TWO LEVELS     SOLUTION
----------------     --------
HI-NONE              A->RIGHT(1)
                     B->RIGHT(1)
                     C->LEFT (2)

MID-LOW              A->LEFT (1)
                     B->RIGHT(3)
                     C->RIGHT(4)

MID-NONE             A->LEFT (4)
                     B->RIGHT(2)
                     C->LEFT (2)

HI-LOW               A->LEFT (1)
                     B->LEFT (2)
                     C->RIGHT(2)

Trust me, this table will make sense when you see the control panel.  
After you solve the puzzle, lock 1 on an electronic door is released.  
Go back the way you came.

SPEED INDICATOR:  You don't accidentally enter a wrong code.

SEWAGE MONITOR ROOM

Set up your inventory in this manner:

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN SHELLS
MAGNUM, MAGNUM BULLETS (if you're feeling paranoid)
FULL HEALING ITEM, BLUE HERB or HERB MIXUTRE THAT CURES POISON

Also use the CCC MIXTURE (if you've got it) with GRENADE ROUNDS to get 
your last batch of FREEZE ROUNDS.  Leave.

WATER WASTE CANAL

Tap select when you hear a "ZOW!".  You have just ended another 
cutscene.  Leave out the other door. 

WASTE POOL AREA

This room has the most monster scenarios in the whole game!  These are 
all the types of monsters I've encountered here:  zombies, Drain 
Demioses, Brain Suckers, and Hunters.  In any case, kill them all 
(except for the ones that won't come out of the pool).  Use the barrel 
if there are monsters near it.  There are also two boxes of SHOTGUN 
SHELLS sitting on the cart next to the computer.  Jump into the 
elevator.

SPEEDY ALTERNATIVE:  Go straight to the elevator ignoring the monsters 
and SHOTGUN SHELLS. 

FACTORY ELEVATOR

Press the button on the wall to proceed to the next area.

WASTE MONITOR ROOM

Time to waste some ammo! (°
