VERSION 1.10: AUGUST 25th 2005:
when updated, something went a little awry and as a result some of the
guide was formatted incorrectlty - this simply means that several blocks
of text were seperated from each other and this update was all about
solving that particular problem.
VERSION 1.02: AUGUST 3RD 2005:
Update by Foxhound. Corrected a few grammatical errors, a few missing words, an
item commonly missed in the first chapter, and a strategy for the gulp worm.
VERSION 1.01: AUGUST 1ST 2005:
A brief update by Foxhound. Fixed a couple of grammatical mistakes.
VERSION 1.00: JULY 28TH 2005:
Welcome to the first installment of our Knife Only Walkthrough. You will
find that the Walkthrough Section has been completed, so you are all set
if you want to take on this challenge. Every other section we wanted in the
guide is also completed so this will be a rare occassion when a guide
has been submitted almost fully complete. Mistakes in this guide will
probably happen and We expect to come back now and then to amend and add
anything we need to. Have Fun, and Good Luck with the challenge.

==========================================================================
Knife Only? You mean the little tooth pick that goes in my item box every
play through? Yeah you heard the title right. Whilst it sounds like a
suicide mission in a game riddled with ultra hard bosses and aeons of
enemies, we have composed this walkthrough to help you achieve this
challenge. The key to this is practice, perseverence, patience and a little
bit of luck. Don't even consider attempting this challenge unless you have
played the game several times or if you haven't mastered the controls;
this is not for novices.
Be assured, however, that this challenge is entirely possible; in fact,
Foxhound has completed it quite recently. Once you understand how
the knife works, you will be amazed at how easily you can breeze through the
game, with the exception of bosses. The objective is simple: Complete the
game using only the knife. Under no circumstances must firearms be used no
matter how many times the doctor zombie in the prison gets you. This guide
is not about getting an A rank either. Taking your time is also key, and
there are no prizes for not saving often. You will need to save a lot and
replay certain sections. Forward planning is also very important and the
walkthrough has been divided into sections designed for this and we have
detailed room specific strategies to help you out. It is also preferable
to avoid many enemies because after all, this is a challenge of endurance
and survival not about killing every enemy. Before you begin this challenge,
please read the strategy section which details everything you need to know
to be fully prepared.
We hope you enjoy this monstrous challenge.

==========================================================================
We have detailed three distinct strategy sections here designed to prepare
you for the rigours of the knife only walkthrough. We implore you to read
these as we feel they are intergal to know before starting the challenge.
****************
3.1 The Blade
****************
Before you can tackle the game, you need to be fully accustomed to the
knife's
new properties. It is a much better weapon then in previous RE games, but if
you still don't know how to use it, it is worthless. This knife must be
used to kill all mandatory bosses, so you need to learn about all of it's
strengths and weaknesses.
To begin, take a few slashes with it. Don't aim, just slash a few times. Get
a feel for the recovery time with each slash. It's not as bad as previous RE
games, but it's not good either. This was one of the reasons we recommended
avoiding training with Wesker, his speed with a knife is a multiple of
Claire's (And Chris's as well.). This will help you to understand your range
with the knife as well (And Wesker has a shorter range due to his wide arc).
Understanding the range is important. Gone are the days when a zombie had to
be next to you to commence biting. They now like to lunge at you whenever
your close enough (I.E Slash range.), so don't get too close.
Take a few more slashes, but let go of the R1 button when you do so. See how
Claire takes a step back? She is leaving defensive mode, and this little
step may help her avoid a zombie lunge, but don't try. This will help you
when you need to run. Speaking of running, remember the days of Resident
Evil 3, where you had to use the stab/turnaround combo on zombies? That
was a good tactic, eh? You never got bitten. Well, erase all that from
your head.
Knife range is shortened in this game, and there is a body hit
detection system. This means that an attack made to different body parts
will do different things. A shotgun, for one, can take a
zombies head clean off if you aim for it. In the knifes case, if you aim
at a zombies legs, you can make them fall face first with 1 or 2 slashes,
and once their down, you can commence backstabbing until they're dead.
But you can't use the stab/turnaround combo anymore. When you start slashing
a zombie, your too close to run away, so your only hope is to make it drop
before it bites you. Except for 2 battles later, where you ned to be able to
slash and run, ignore this combo.
An interesting tactic I learned is to run at a zombie. Yes, run. If you run
at it, and it grabs you, it takes a split second before it bites you. This
means that if you mash the buttons fast enough, you can shake it off and
suffer no damage. This also means it will be on the floor, free for the
kill.
Something to note when your backstabbing zombies. ALWAYS GO FOR THE
MULTI-HIT! A multi-hit is where the knife rakes across the most flesh, and
this signifys a whole multitude of blade slashes, and a large gushing of
blood. Unlike previous RE"s, one slash does not equal one hit in Code
Veronica. This makes the knife a dangerous weapon in the right hands. But
back to the zombies, MAKE SURE YOU GO FOR MULTI-HITS! If your ever caught
slashing a zombie when it gets back to its feet, it will bite you every
single time. To reduce this, NEVER backstab multiple zombies at once. The
damage will be spread out and neither will die.
Try using the up slash now. Aim up and slash, and your slash will be aimed
at a
45 degree angle upwards. This is only useful in one fight later on, but it
helps to know it now. This slash has the worst range of the 3, which means
less multi-hits, so refrain from using it at all costs.
Now try your most useful slash, the down slash. This slash is aimed at a 45
degree angle downward, has the best range, the best arc (For multi-hits),
and has other practical uses against the monsters as well. For zombies, if
you slash down and hit their legs, you can drop them face first, which is
how we are going to go through the game.
One thing to practice when facing multiple zombies is the angled slash. This
type of slash is like what I told you to avoid, backstabbing two zombies at
once. Your thinking "but i'll get bitten!", right? Well, slicing a zombies
knees works a little different. In some cases, it only takes ONE slash
(And you don't even need a multi-hit!) to drop a zombie to his face, and the
arc of the knife makes it easy to hit two, or even 3 zombies. It's not
always easy to pull off, but it's there if you want to take the risk.
So the rule of thumb is: Knee-slashing multiple zombies = good. Backstabbing
multiple zombies = bad.
Well, I guess its time to move on.
**********************
3.2 Enemy Strategies
**********************
Strategies for enemies are often very specific, so it would be a wise move
to have a good luck at this section so you know how to deal with each enemy
beforehand.
*********
Zombies
*********
The trademark of the resident evil series, zombies come in many forms and
attributes. These ex-humans were infected with the T virus indirectly, and
now only have basic instincts. Feeding.
This isn't hard. Wait for a zombie to approach, and aim down and slash as
soon as it comes into range. Keep slashing until it falls face first, then
continue to stab it in the back until dead. Make sure you get those
multihits, because if it gets back up, you'll probably get bitten.
If one does happen to grab you, mash the buttons like crazy. The damage is
according to how many bites you take. If you press them fast enough, you
should only take one bite (or maybe none).
If you get a fast zombie, your in trouble. This type of zombie seemingly
runs at you, and thereby gives you almost no time to counterattack. Stick to
the plan though, aim for the knees and hopefully the one slash will drop it.
Keep slashing until dead. You could also flee if he gets right on you.
There are several types of zombies.
Graveyard zombies are the easiest. They are already somewhat decomposed so
they only need a couple of slashes.
Prisoner, Soldier, Police, and Worker zombies are pretty much the same. None
of them are particularly strong and can easily be disposed of.
Wesker zombies (His men.) are a bit different. Their bite is more dangerous
then others, does a lot of damage and often move fast. You can tell a Wesker
subordinate by it's outfit. Their eyes also glow, similar to Wesker's eyes.
There are also some wesker subordinates which have the official name of
"Explosion boy". This Zombie has an explosive charged straped to his back.
The bad news is that you can't detonate it with a knife, so no
multi-killings
with any explosions. The good news is that you don't want to. Being
near the blasting zone is hazardous to your health. Just treat these like
any other zombie.
************
Zombie Dog
************
As was with RE3, they are still a joke. Slash once to put it on the floor,
then run up and slash it to death. Multi-hits will make it fast, incase
there is another one in the vacinity. Just don't get caught while slashing
one, because it may knock you away, giving the current target time to
recover.
******
Bats
******
Oh no, anything but minor damage! Thankfully, Claire has the lighter at the
start of the game, so until you give it up, keep the lighter equipped in
bat-infested areas. They won't bother you.
Once you give up the lighter, just run past them. You will get bitten, but
it's nothing to worry about.
***************
Baby Albinoid
***************
Actually, you only see these in the experimenting room in the Military
Training Facility. They're too low to the ground, so you can't stab them and
it's better to run away. You will probably get zapped, but like the bats it's
nothing serious.
**************
Bandersnatch
**************
A Bandersnatch is what you get when you try to mass-produce the Tyrant. It's
like a melted human-ape with one arm melted off, and a long arm that drops
down to the floor. When you are a distance away, it will try and smack you
with the long arm, which stretches really far. At a moderate distance, it
will latch on to your head in an attempt to break your neck. Mash the buttons
to get free. If you get close, it will backhand you with it's arm.
Oh sorry, we still need to kill this thing. This is all about timing. Run up
to the Bandersnatch, dodging it's attacks, until your right in front of it.
Get ready to stab down, and do so JUST BEFORE it backhands you. If you did
it right, you will swipe it's legs, and it's arm will pass through you
harmlessly. Keep this up until it dies (It only takes a few slashes).
If you try this against several bandersnatches, your going to lose a lot of
health. Guarenteed. We have written this guide so that we will only
bother fighting one Bandersnatch, but is certainly useful to know how
to deal with them.
*************
Black Widow
*************
My worst enemy, but not too bad to fight. Other then their poisonous
attacks,
their damage is on the low side. Aim low and just keep slashing. It takes
quite a few slashes (Spiders are durable) but you should be fine.
Should two of them come in, you may want to run. Bite-lock is not fun.
*************
Baby Spider
*************
Just ignore tiem. Their too low to slash, and you can kill them by stepping
on them. They only appear once you beat the giant black widow.
********
Hunter
********
Here we go. Raptor legs make for crazy speed, but one heck of a bad balance.
Hunters are pretty much the worst enemies your going to see. Their claws can
take you from fine to danger in a heartbeat, and being low to the ground
makes then a hard target.
There really isn't a strategy for this speed demon. AIm low and slash as
much as you can. It only takes a few slashes, but if you waste time, or get
hung up by another hunter, your going to get torn apart.
When they start running at you, aim low and slash just as they enter range.
It rarely works, but you might slash their legs out from under them and trip
them. Then you can stab them to death and suffer no damage. However, once
they start attacking, the window expires. Their back is exposed and their
legs are protected, so your stuck trading blows.
All in all, these aren't the nightmares that they used to be, but they will
deplete healing supply if you are stupid.
We have made sure that we only ever have to fight about two Hunters during
the game.
*********
Sweeper
*********
And you thought the hunter was bad? Terminate these colored versions of the
hunter with EXTREME prejuduice, Their claws are poisoned and will make you
throw stuff at your TV.
Luckily, they're not that common, but when you do see one, use the same
strategy. Aim low and keep slashing until one of you dies.
******
Moth
******
Bloody annoying. Once activated, moths will fly around, leaving a trail of
poisonous powder (Theres a blue herb potter nearby), and try to latch on to
your back. When successful, if not shaken off quickly, they will lay an egg
on Claire's back.
Ignore them the best you can. It's more trouble to fight them then it is to
run.
***********
Hatchling
***********
The moth egg will hatch eventually. Quickly mash the buttons to peel it off.
If you don't do so, it will bite you, causing damage and poison.
**********
Parasite
**********
When you let a Hatchling grow a little longer, this is what you get. These
will jump out of an infected Zombie, bite you, and hang on to your back for
a while. It will come off eventually, and fortunately it doesn't inflict
poison.
*****
Ant
*****
These ants have wings! I see them in my back yard sometimes (Big black ants
with wings, Scary!) .
They're more of an annoyance then dangerous. The bites add up, but just run
by them, they're only in one area.
*************
3.3 Healing
*************
This is the tricky part of the game. There are a large supply of healing
items in the game, but if you don't conserve, your going to be in big
trouble later.
There are two types of healing items: First aid sprays, and herbs.
First aid sprays -otherwise known as "full-health in a can" -are very simple.
You use one, you get fully
healed.
There are three different kinds of herbs, Green, Red, and Blue.
Green herbs heal your vitality by 25%.
Red herbs do nothing by themselves, but can be mixed with a green herb to
multiply it's effect.
Blue herbs cure poison.
Different herbal mixtures do different things. A two green herb mixture, for
example, will restore 50%  vitality. A three green herb mixture will fully
replenish your vitality. A red/green herb mixture will fully replenish your
vitality. A green/blue mixture will restore 25% vitality, and cure poison.
Here is the table of mixtures.
----------------------------------------------
I Green (G) I Red (R) I Blue (B) I
----------------------------------------------
G = 25% health restore.
G + G = 50% health restore.
G + G + G = 100% health restore.
G + R = 100% health restore.
G + B = 25% health restore and cure poison.
G + G + B = 50% health restore and cure poison.
G + R + B = 100% health restore and cure poison.
Tip: Always keep a few green herbs in your stash, in case you come across
some red herbs.
When your traveling through the game, it's a good idea to have one minor,
and one major healing item at all times. A minor one is one that only heals
a little, for a strong hit. A green herb is great. The major item should
heal you fully. First Aid Sprays are the recommended item.
There are more than enough First Aid Sprays and Herbs in the game to
enable completion with just the Knife. We have written this walkthrough in
such a way that you won't be using many healing items.
******************
3.4 Miscellaneous
******************
- Train. Like we've mentioned, it is best if you have completed the game -
and have the battle game available. You can train against various enemies
in this mode (Use Claire or Chris as Wesker's technique is much different to
theirs) to get used to the knife and how to deal with the enemies you will
encounter. Preperation is key. You can battle against Zombies,
Bandersnatches and Hunters in the first few rooms of Battle Mode.
If you do not have this mode, you could train in the beginning of the game.
- There are no prizes for killing every enemy; it is far better to run away
when outnumbered or to simply avoid enemies and it is possible. We have
detailed which strategy is best in each particular room.
- We've written this guide in such a way that saving the game is integral,
and we will advise restarting the game at certain points. Saving is such
an often occurance in this guide, you'll be saving at practically every
oppurtunity - but we will be directing you at when to do this to help you
out.
- Conserve your healing items. You will need to use as little healing items
as possible during the main game in order to save them for the boss battles.
We will make sure you know where each healing item is, and also make sure
you
make good use of the healing section above so you know what type of herb
does what. Also, since we direct towards restarting if you use too many
healing items, you should do this automatically.
- Stay Patient and Good Luck!
==========================================================================
| 4: WALKTHROUGH                                                           |
==========================================================================
Before you begin, we reccommend reading the strategy sections which deal
with the basics of the knife, the enemies we encounter and by what
mentality we are using to take on this challenge. It is highly recommened
to train in the battle game and to learn how to fight Zombies, Banders
and Hunters (They appear in the first few rooms). Learning when best to
strike at a zombie for a multi hit for example is an invaluable trick to
learn. When you feel prepared - and I mean mentally as well you can begin
the challenge.
The walkthrough itself is divided into four chapters, Rockfort Island,
Antarctica, Rockfort Island 1 and Antarctica 2, and each of these are
divided up into objective specific sub sections to make it easier to follow.
And these are divided up even further still to cater for constant saving.
This walkthrough is designed to achieve completion of Resident Evil Code:
Veronica X with just the knife and as such we have advised on saving at
particular points. This is by no means set in stone but is highly
recommended especially if you are following the guide from the beginning.
We have also incorporated a small tutorial section within the first few
sections of the walkthrough designed to inform and hint at how we are going
to tackle the challenge. People following the guide from the start should
find this particularly useful.
We hope you enjoy this walkthrough and this challenge.
Good Luck.
*************************************************************************
| CHAPTER A: ROCKFORT ISLAND                                               |
*************************************************************************
----------Part 1: Get The Hawk Emblem And Escape From The Prison.---------
Equip the lighter. Once the cutscene is finished, head into Claire's cell
and pocket the Green Herb and then take the Combat Knife from Rodrigo's
desk. Enter your inventory. See the red book? Read it and then file it.
======ORGANIZING YOUR INVENTORY=============================================
You should now have just the Combat Knife and the Green Herb in your
inventory. When you are progressing through the game, your inventory
should look similar to this:
|-----|-----|
|KNIFE| MAJ.|                MAJ. = Major Healing Item (First Aid Spray).
|_____|_____|                MINOR. = Minor Healing Item (Green Herb).
|-----|-----|                ITEM. = Key storyline item (IE Gold Key).
|MINOR| ITEM|
|_____|_____|
|-----|-----|
|ITEM | ITEM|
|_____|_____|
|-----|-----|
|ITEM | ITEM|
|_____|_____|
This is by no means mandatory its only to give you a feel for how
you should organize your inventory. Its wise to take healing items with
you at all times just in case. But by the format this guide is written,
you shouldn't use healing items on anything other than boss fights.
Make sure that when you go to an item box you arrange your inventory in this
fashion to ensure a healthy supply inside the box for use later.
==========================================================================
Once you have finished, exit using the door.
Save your game using the typewriter on your right.
======SAVE GAME AND REPLAY POLICY==========================================
We have written this guide in such a way that saving the game and restarting
to ensure a flawless passage through the game is absolutely critical to
your success. We have insisted on constant saving - at every oppurtunity in
fact - in between sections and have directed people to restart from their
last save point if they get into trouble (IE They go down to the caution
vitality). But the guide has also been written like this so that if you
do need to replay you will never have to replay large chunks of the game.
This is done to ensure that we save our healing items for the bosses.
The next section for instance includes several tussles with some zombies
and you should not use a single herb in this section, but if you do we
would reccommend a replay. You'll only be replaying small straightforward
sections which are clearly mapped out in this guide. Remember if a Zombie
begins grappling with you, mash all the buttons repeatedly in order to shake
him off quickly. You can do this three times from perfect vitality before
Claire enters caution mode.
We will try to advise as best we can under what circumstances a replay would
be nessecary, but it is better for you to use your own judegement to decide
when this applies. The best way to restart is simply to allow yourself
to be killed and continue or load your last save from the main menu, as this
game does not have a soft reset function.
==========================================================================
Proceed up the steps.
Head to the centre of the graveyard and you'll see a cutscene. Equip the
knife and mutter in your best psuedo cuban accent 'Say hello to my little
friend!'. You'll be attacked by 3 zombies from behind. Ignore them for the
time being and approach the two zombies coming at you from the front.
Slash them down with the knife. Aim low and you should get them down in a
single slash. Stab them repeatedly until they are dead and leave, ignoring
the other 3. Hopefully you will have practiced and the battle game and will
have been prepared for that.
You'll meet Steve in another cutscene and will have the Handgun in our
inventory. Trash can (Item Box) for that. Head through the east door in this
courtyard. There is little to do in here except grab the green herb from the
catwalk, then head around the cabin and through the door.
In this section are 2 initial zombies. Kill them. Head around towards the
shutter. There is a third zombie hiding behind the camera angle to the
right. Lure him towards you and slash him down. Hopefully you will have not
been bitten by a zombie yet. If you have (Your vitality is in caution),
restart. If not head on into the security room through the door.
You know the drill, put all your metal items in the security box. Follow the
coridoor round and activate the machinery in the main room and get the first
aid spray. Use the only door in here to recieve another cutscene. Take the
emblem from the desk drawer and then save the game again.
Note: Make sure that you combine the Green Herbs you get in this section
to free up space for story items, as it is a little while before we get
to our first item box.
In this next section, we have to make our way back to the graveyard again
but this route is infested with zombies. Again, restart if you lose a lot
of health. We can't afford to use up all our health items so early on, but
if you know how to deal with these zombies its a piece of cake.
Pull the lever near the blocked door and exit the Obs. Room and head back to
the shutter hallway. You can now access the shutter, but when you do, four
zombies launch a surprise attack. Immediately run back to the security hall,
and then go straight back to the shutter hallway. You'll find the room reset
with all the zombies in new positions. Take them down one by one ALL of them
(We have just saved the game, so replaying would be acceptable) and
pick up the Padlock Key from the guillotine. Grab the Fire Extinguisher
and exit to the East Passage. As you walk around the cabin, 3 ravenous dogs
will attack. Make your way up the wooden catwalk where we found a Green Herb
earlier. Turn around and slash each dog as he attempts to get you. Once
you've taken them out, go back down the steps and turn around and exit to
the courtyard.
There are 3 zombies here. Fortunately, 2 of them are busy feasting on a
comrade. The two busy zombies are easily avoidable but the third is
loitering
right next to the door that leads to the graveyard. If you hug the wall as
you approach he won't get near you and you can pass through without fuss.
You'll find the zombies you left behind earlier are still here.
Unfortunately
you have to kill all of them to get to the wrecked vehicle. Several of the
remaining zombies are naked zombies and are easy enough to kill. Approach
them and take them down one by one. The final zombie is the driver of the
truck. He takes a little longer to defeat, but you shouldn't have a problem
here. If you do it right you'll leave in perfect condition. With
the route clear, use the fire extinguisher on the burning vehicle to find
the briefcase in the rubble, which upon closer examination gives you the
special alloy. We now need to head back to the security office, so pass
through the courtyard again. The zombies here are in different locations now
but we are in a wide open area and they are easily avoided. Once you are
back in the cabin passageway, turn immediately to your right and use the
recently acquired padlock key to enable swift access to the door that leads
to the shutter hall - this means you will no longer have to fight the dogs
here.
Once in the security office, we are going to do a spot of cheating. As you
know in a while three zombies will burst through the windows here and attack
while your trusty Knife is inside the security box. What we need
to do is pass through to the area with the duplicator. Grab the ink ribbon
you put in the box earlier and set off the metal detector. Now,
duplicate the Hawk Emblem on the machine using the alloy and the emblem and
the zombies can't break through the glass.
Go to the office and save the game. We are know going to make our way to the
palace, hopefully unscathed. There are a few tricky sections on the way
but again it can be done flawless. So remember to restart if things go awry.
Return to the hall and turn off the metal detector and head back to the
Courtyard, avoiding the zombies once more. Use the Hawk Emblem on the huge
gray gates here and open them.
Head down the steps and run along the bridge. Grab the two green herbs in
this area and push the crates together to climb over the fire and head up
the
staircase.
---------Part 2: Access The Airport and Retrieve The Biohazard Card---------
We are now in the L shaped hallway which leads to the Palace and the Military
Training Facility, and it is guarded by three zombies. You must deal with
them now as we will be back in this area again soon. Get the immediate two
near the ladder, and then proceed towards the palace. The final two should
have their backs to you. Get close enough to lure them towards you and slash
them one by one. If they get you, it is possible to throw them off the
balcony. When you are done, ascend the steps.
We now have to exterminate three nasty dogs and this time we must fight
them, but it is really easy. Simply run to the palace entrance steps and
climb them. You should be able to avoid the dogs as you do this. Now, stand
facing the steps and the dogs should try jumping up after you one by one. As
each dog does this, repeatedly slash at them. If one dog manages to get up
there with you, back your way into a corner and take them out one by one.
You should get through this without a scratch if you've done it right. You
can now enter the palace.
Head upstairs and enter the door to the right of the landing and then save
the game.
========ABOUT DEALING WITH AND MANAGING HEALING ITEMS=======================
As this is our first real oppurtunity we have to arrange our inventory,
we thought it would be best to have a small tutorial on your usage
and management of herbs and first aid sprays, as we should have quite
a collection right about now. Conserving Herbs and First Aid Sprays for
the bosses is absolutely crucial, and you'll find the infortmation on
how to get the best combinations of herbs here.
First aid sprays restore your vitality by 100%.
Green herbs heal your vitality by 25%.
Red herbs do nothing by themselves, but can be mixed with a green herb to
multiply it's effect.
Blue herbs cure poison.
To help you decide on how best to manage the different herbs we have in
our possession, the table below will help you out.
----------------------------------------------
I Green (G) I Red (R) I Blue (B) I
----------------------------------------------
G = 25% health restore.
G + G = 50% health restore.
G + G + G = 100% health restore.
G + R = 100% health restore.
G + B = 25% health restore and cure poison.
G + G + B = 50% health restore and cure poison.
G + R + B = 100% health restore and cure poison.
Mixing the herbs is a good idea, but you should keep two or three solitary
green herbs in your item box and one in your inventory if you need to heal
quickly. Its no use wasting a Good Mixture when you still have 50% Vitality.
But we will have to leave it to you to decide on how best to use the herbs
you acquire.
That is the end of our tutorial section and we can now continue with the
game.
==========================================================================
You can now return downstairs. Access the computer and use the code
NTC0394 to unlock the door. This next section involves a lot of running
around, but only three, yet testing zombie encounters. Since you've saved
recently it is in our best interests to restart if you are in a bad
condition.
Before you proceed through the door which has been unlocked, head through
the
blue door to your right. Equip the lighter and take the First Aid Spray and
then enter the door behind the computer. Inside are four zombies; the first
two are easy to take down. Let them come to you. The third zombie wanders
around behind the other two and can be avoided. Move forwards and learn his
movements before running by him. At the end of the coridoor we need
to enter the door facing us. To your left is a zombie hiding around the
camera angle. Hit the aim button to aim in his direction. Lure him out and
kill him and enter the door.
Flick the switch under the dragonfly and once the cutscene is finished and
the secret compartment is revealed, grab the steering wheel and leave this
room. Avoid the remaining zombie and try to leave the palace. You'll get
another cutscene. Head back to the lounge where we got the Steering Wheel.
Operate the panel and make the two guns light up to release Steve. Now head
back to the main hall, avoiding the zombie on your way in and out of this
area. You'll get ANOTHER cutscene. Once this one is over, leave the palace
and go down the steps. Go straight on and grab the Navy Proof. Do a 180
and turn left and head down the steps. Use the Steering Wheel to
raise the sub and take the sub to the airport. Ascend the ladder in the sub
and follow the hallway around to enter the airport.
In this room are three zombies. There are two on the left guarding the room
where we place the proofs. But since we have no business in there yet,
ignore them and slash the zomie on the right who is impeding your progess
and enter the shutter. Cross the bridge to enter the crane control room and
use the elevator to access the second floor. Operate the panel and position
the crane over the crate to reveal a panel. Go back downstairs and operate
the panel to bring up the cargo elevator. 5 Zombies emerge from the elevator
and must be dealt with if you are to get the biohazard card which is on the
crate on the elevator.
Run to the narrow pathway between the wall and the lift. Drop one zombie
here to block the others, then hack it up while its on the ground. Keep doing
this until they're all dead, then just slash the crawlers. Remember to mash
the buttons if they grab you - it is unrealistic not to think this will
happen here as it is a tricky spot, but remember to restart if you go down
to caution.
Beware of the zombies who fall to the floor without dropping to its knees -
It's a crawler, and if you stay there, it will bite your ankle.
With the path cleared take the Biohazard Card.
--Part 3: Infiltrate The Military Training Facility And Get The Gold Lugers-
We are know going to visit the Military Training Facility, and on our way
we are going to save again at the palace. After this we only have one
section with enemies before we save again, so just stay sharp. We shouldn't
use a healing item now, so restart if you get into trouble in the L
Shaped Passage which leads to the Military Training Facility.
Exit the cargo elevator room and cross over the bridge. Ignore the zombies
in the office and return to the Palace Courtyard using the sub. Enter the
Palace and return upstairs and save the game. Take this time to do any
Herb Management and Inventory Management and then return to the Palace
Courtyard. Enter the door on the left. There will still be zombies here,
so make sure you avoid them or at the very least come out unscathed. Head
left avoiding the other zombies here and enter the large doors.
Cutscene. Enter the Military Training Facility by using the double doors.
In here, you'll find a Red Herb on the floor on the right hand side next to
the wall. Now, head up the steps on your Right and enter the lab using the
door at the end of the coridoor. Grab the Bowgun and have a look at the
panel near the door and the window. You'll get a cutscene. Return to the
first floor hall and use the Biohazard card on the shutter and enter the
door which was behind it.
Cutscene. Avoid Alfred's Rifle shots and run up the steps. Go right and
enter the door here. Follow the hallway around and enter the white door and
save the game in here.
Collect the various herbs and the hemostatic medicine and place them in your
item box. Arrange your inventory. Now, we are about to fight our first
and, if you play your cards right, only Bandersnatch in the game. We have
saved right here, right next door so if the fight goes badly we can always
replay from here. You will get it right eventually and if you are lucky
and skilfull enough you might just win that battle unscathed.
Re-enter the hallway and attempt entry to the brown door and you'll recieve
a cutscene. Enter the door and head left to find a pair of Sub Machine Guns.
As you attempt to leave, you'll be attacked by a Bander. The best strategy
is to run straight at him and slash him at the ankles when you hear him
roar.
If you time it right his swipe will pass by overhead harmlessly. Read
the bandersnatch enemy section above for some more hints. After 2 or
3 multi hits the battle will be over and you can head downstairs and through
the door where you will recieve another cutscene.
-----------Part 4: Get The Eagle Plate And Return To The Palace------------
You'll now be in control of Steve. We're not in the habit of cheating at
this
point by blowing the Zombies away with the Sub Machine Guns, but it is
entirely up to you what you do here. Simply pass through the door here and
then run through the boiler room, up the steps and through the door.
Run through the sewer for another cutscene.
When you regain control of Claire, you will already be on the second floor.
Now, follow Steve and enter the door in this coridoor and then follow the
catwalk around for another cutscene. When this is finished you should use
the door on Steve's left. There are 2 Zombies in here. One is inside the
alcove leading to the elevator and is easily avoided. The second is further
down the hall. Approach and wait for him to walk near to a wall and then pass
him by. If this doesn't work you'll have to fight him. Either way, use the
door behind the zombie. Grab the Ink Ribbon and the Eagle Plate from the wall
and return to the garage where we left Steve, avoiding or fighting the
zombies if nessecary. You'll now need to go through the doors in front of
Steve. Immediately run to the right and through the doors as several dogs
will attack. Ignore the Worm here and go back to the L shaped Passage which
leads to the palace. As you approach the Palace Courtyard steps, two
Bandersnatches leap over the balcony but you'll easily be able to evade
them.
Enter the Palace through the front doors.
You'll discover that the Palace Hall is infested with Zombies (I Think that
is the first time we have encountered enemies in a main hall in a Resident
Evil game...and I don't count the Lickers in the Police Station in RE2!).
There are two on the ground floor here, but this is a wide open area and
they are easily avoidable. The two on the landing are also easy to avoid,
but because we are passing through this section quite a lot, we should do
ourselves a favour and take them both out now. It doesn't take a lot to
kill them either. Try slashing them as they climb the stairs here. Enter
the Receptionists Office, save the game and re-arrange your inventory.
-------------------Part 5: Get The Silver Key------------------------------
There is a fair bit of bandersnatch action coming up, and it is fair to
say you'll get hit. But once you know how to avoid a Bander, they should be
easy to deal with. This is a relatively short and straight forward section
before the next save, and therefore if you lose a bit of health here you
should restart.
Grab the Green Herb which is sitting near the Gold Luger door. Use The Gold
Lugers on the door to access Alfred's Office. Head on over to the computer
and enter the password '1971' to reveal a secret passage. Push right to
leave and you'll get a cutscene where a Bandersnatch leaps through the window.
Whilst watching this cutscene, hold Circle and push Northeast on the D-Pad
so that when the cutscene is over you can start running immediately. If
you've done this right, he can't get you. Head through the secret passage
and through the door. Cross the bridge and use the steps at the end. You'll
find two more Bandersnatches in the courtyard here. To avoid them, run at
them and pass them by on their left. Climb the stairs and enter the Private
Residence before they can resume their attack.
Once inside, equip the lighter to ward off the bats and climb the stairs.
You'll find a First Aid Spray on the landing here which you should claim
before you enter the 2F hallway when you'll get a cutscene. Go through the
door on the right and you'll hear that lovely tune again. Its shortlived
however, as you'll want to stop the music box which reveals the Silver Key.
Take it and return to the coridoor, but before you leave make sure you grab
the herb in here.
---------Part 6: Return To The Palace And Get The Eagle Plate--------------
Exit the Private Residence. As soon as you can, run left, straight at
the first Bandersnatch and at the last moment veer right and he should miss
you. When you go downstairs, repeat the process for his comrade. Head down
the steps again and over the bridge to re-enter Alfred's office.
Head through the secret passage and back into the actual office. Hug the
wall as you approach the exit door. If your fast enough, the Bandersnatch
won't be able to get to you.
Once back in the Save room, save the game once more. We are going to go
downstairs, but first we should use the Silver Key we recently acquired to
unlock, but not enter, the door on the oppositte side of the landing to the
Save Room. Go downstairs and enter the hallway behind the computer. Use and
then discard the Silver Key. Now, this next room is tough because there are
two Bandersnatches in here guarding the eagle plate. We'll try to get you
through relatively unscathed but it is acceptable to take damage here.
If you go down to danger however, repeat. We did just save upstairs a moment
ago.
As soon as you enter, run left around the table and circle round to enter
the centre. You'll take your damage as you bend down to take the eagle
plate. There is no real trick to this, its simply a case of damage limitation.
Leave the room and take the Red Herb which is near the right hand wall.
------------Part 7: Return To The Prison And Get The Piano Roll-------------
After that tricky spot is over, you can return upstairs and save the game.
We now have to return back to the prison and there are a couple of
Bandersnatches and Zombies to contend with on our way. Once you have
saved the game return to the Palace Courtyard and return to the L-Shaped
Hall. The Pair of Bandersnatches are still patrolling this area and you
should simply run by them and head down the stairs.
Cross back over the bridge to return to the courtyard. Head left, back
accross to the passage with the Cabin - there are three zombies in here but
they are easily avoidable in such an open area.
Use the open padlocked gate to return to the area with the Shutter.
You'll find two zombies in here who should be disposed of swiftly. Use the
Eagle Plate on the gate near the guillotine and two zombies will attack as
it opens. Exit back to the Passage with the cabin and then return back here
to reset the room. You'll now find both zombies in different and easily
avoidable positions, pass by the zombies and enter the door which you just
unlocked with the Eagle Plate.
Take out the two zombies and enter the door at the end of this
coridoor. Head through the door here to return to the security room.
Take the First Aid Spray and Ink Ribbon we left in the security box with
you and save the game once more. We are about to face a very irritating and
dangerous sub boss, make sure you have a full healing item with you.
Return back to the area with the item box and deposit any items you don't
need here and make sure you take the Biohazard Card and Eagle plate with
you. Exit this room and follow the coridoor as it veers right. Grab the Green
Herb and enter the door here to access the Infirmary.
Check the cabinet near where you came in for a First Aid Spray, then head
through the infirmary to the other door. In here, concentrate on the Zombie
to the right of you. Watch his movements and when there is space, run by
him on his right and grab the Red Herb. Run back to the door and leave,
you should be able to do this before the flaming zombie gets you. You can get
this right with a little bit of practice.
Once back in the infirmary you'll recieve a small cutscene and the doctor
zombie attacks. Leave. Return here and the room will be reset. The second
Zombie, The Patient, will attack first. Take him down quickly and then focus
on the doctor.
The doctor ALWAYS runs at you, and is immune to knee slashes, so your just
going to have to hit him until he dies. Bring at LEAST two full healing
items into the battle. He's going to chew into you no matter what, and his
bites do a LOT of damage (15-20% each). The only way to fight him is to
keep slashing, get bit, knock him back (He won't EVER fall down), keep slashing,
get bit, knock him back, keep slashing....this will go on for a while.
If you are lucky you will make it out losing just one full healing item.
Once he is dead, you can pocket the Glass Eye he dropped and use it on the
human anatomy model in the office to reveal a secret passage. Descend the
stairs here and equip your lighter to evade the bats in here. Collect the
Green Herb as you progress through and use the door to enter the torture
chamber. There are three zombies in here. Thankfully, you are in a narrow
entrance way and you can slash each zombie as he gets close. As one falls,
it will stop the next one from getting close. This tactic should ensure a
