KNIFE WALKTHROUGH (c)2001 VMerken[vip@padua.org], started editing May 18th -1 Work in Progress .;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.; This is the alpha version of the Resident Evil 3 Knife guide, and is dedicated to all the fans and long-term players of the game. Updates will probably be very superficial, unless someone provides me with new and verifiable insights. As an Easter Egg, you'll find the character profiles promised to you in the handgun walkthrough. 0 Welcome! -.-.-.-.-.- Walkthrough objective: * Kill all targets with the Combat Knife. * Time is irrelevant. * Usage of Ink Ribbons is irrelevant. * obtain a 100% kill, of course following the optimal story branches. I pondered long and hard on this, but decided to go for it, and succeeded. Yes, 100% kill. That includes all Nemesis fights, even against type II (which took about 129 stabs before it was over o_O'). Requirements: * Be completely awake. The game will crush you if you're not paying attention. * Fully mastered controls. * Patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, and then some. Bring extra. * Basic math knowledge (addition & subtraction). The rewards: * Jill handling a combat knife is extremely cool to watch. * Carlos handling a toothpick is as hilarious as they come. * You get to see all the monster AI in axion. * The challenge is extreme. * Extreme bragging rights in front of the survivhor community. This guide is here to help. If you fit the requirements, be ready to have a great time. Let's go! 1 Contents _._._._._._._._._._._._ -1 Work in progress 0 Intro 1 Contents 2 Cast of Characters 3 Toothpick 101 4 Walkthrough 5 Disclaimer 6 ??? 2 Cast of characters _-_..._-_..._-_..._-_ /Jill Valentine\___ Well, didn't someone get a polygonal update! After a small comparison between the Jill of RE1 and present Jill, I'd say that the development team invested some time and money in a complete facelift and some other aesthetical corrections for our favorite heroine. Either way, the CG modellers at Capcom were in a very confident mood. Our beloved non-'civey' (how do you spell this anyway) ranks right up there with Regina (Dino Crisis) and Quistis (Final Fantasy VIII). Lara who you say? Oh and you guys probably won't admit this in public, but I'm sure that there was a whole lot of ooh-in' and aah-in' as Jill got out of the Clock Tower in slow motion to greet the Rescue Chopper. I, of course, did no such thing ;). Apart from her physical transformation, Jill's attitude has changed, too. Where are the times of "You sAVed mE! ThAnk you BArry" or "Oh... okAY, I'll look in the hOUse a little MOre...". Now she's a lot more heroic and daring (remember the Oil light in the Restaurant), and she should be, because in this, her, last escape, you need to be, strong, or get, squashed, by Nemmy. But of course, Jill still has her weaker moments. Her starting speech, for instance. "If ONly they had the cOURage to fIGHT!"... wake up and smell the napalm, Jill! How is one supposed to fight a virus? Spit it out? Perform dark rituals using the rejuventating blood of a hundred virgins? And let's not get started on her beautiful intonation, which automatically induces an impression of overacting the size of a termite hill. Also, the alternate costumes she gets to wear are crap, except for Regina's cloth, which comes with a complementary hairdo. Finally, I do miss the 'real' Jill, the girl of flesh and blood which appeared during the opening and ending cinemas in RE1. That's why I started playing the series in the first place, because at the time, it seemed as if movies and computer games were beginning to converge. It's sad to see this obsession for purely synthesized images, but I must admit that they're getting better and better each year... look at Shrek, FF the movie... wow. So, maybe the day will come when we get to play as our favorite actor in our favorite motion picture... who knows. /Brad Vickers\_____ Hey, it's Brad! Wait up, Brad! Don't run away, Brad! ...*sigh*... Good'ol "Chickenheart" didn't change one bit, skillfully avoiding any perils and making way to safer locations. But who wouldn't be scared, trapped in Raccoon City with only a Handgun? A pity Brad couldn't manage to get online and read my Handgun FAQ ;). Smell his fear as he talks to Jill about the abomination that's roaming the streets. Nothing more to report actually, Brad's role is pretty minor in this game. /Nemesis\_____ Huge. In Rage. Fights dirty. Will destroy everything in order to get what he wants. Knows only one word. Likes to play with Rockets. It's me when having an total off-day :). You've got to love Nemesis. He's got his own theme music and The Pose. You KNOW that you're in for a hard time if you're not careful - except when he does The Pose. Dude appears whenever you don't want him to, which really puts you 'in the game'. /Carlos\_____ I would've gone easy on this guy. I would've praised him, looking all cool and composed (much better than Steve*cough*ardo Di*cough*Burnsidio in fact)(I hope his make-over in CV X is a good one) with his M4A1 Assault Rifle. I could've stressed his excellent behaviour in the battlefield and how easy he is to control, but I won't. The reason is a mere sentence: "Women like the accent. It drives them crazy." First off, what accent? Yes, there are maybe two or three words during the entire game he pronounces differently as in contrast to 'genuine' american english, but call that an accent? I'd sooner be a Jamaican woodpecker with a severe teak addiction. Well anyway, his little catchphrase fails - as it should. Jill doesn't succumb to Carlos' musings, so he ingeniously falls back to plan B: Charm thine victim with yonder gifts. Unfortunately for him, Barry already tried plan B in Resident Evil 1 without success. Grenade Rounds just aren't a girl's best friend. Carlos is good, but he ain't my pick of the day. That would be... /Nicholai\_____ Oh yes. I dare you to say "pull my finger" in the presence of this guy. Chances are that your little piggy goes to the market permanently. Everything about Nicholai spells doom in full capitals. Being a merc in the truest sense of the word, he's possibly even more frightening than Nemesis. Nemesis kills because he was programmed to. Nicholai, on the other hand, will not only kill you for a fistful of dollars, but also skin you and sell your hide to the nearest hospital. After more than 10 kills, he offers a discount and yes, Visa's accepted. This mean butcher isn't exactly talkative, but when he does, at least it *sounds* like a stereotyped Russian accent. Amazingly cool character, the only thing that spoils it a bit is that, from the start, there's "double-you-double-you-doubly-you-dot-SUSPECT-dot-com" written all over him, something you didn't have with Wesker in RE1 (not *immediately*, that is). /Mikhail\_____ This man offers his very life and soul to the Cause, and that makes him a great guy. It's amazing how a man with such honesty and devotion to his troops joins UBCS, so I'm guessing he was either strapped for cash, or given the same treatment as Wesker gave to Barry. A true hero. Apart from that, there's not much to say, like Brad, his role was only a small one. 3 Toothpick 101 )))))))))))))))))) Before we start the action, you'll have to train. Hard. You don't stand a chance with the Knife unless you're fully accustomed to it. In this section, I'll teach you how to live, breathe and smell the Toothpick. Can someone sound the gong please? ***BWOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG*** The first lesson has begun, glasshoppel. Let us begin with The Principle: ALWAYS PLAY IT SAFE. NEVER GIVE IN TO THE TEMPTATION OF "MWAHH, I CAN HANDLE IT". THE GAME WILL SLAUGHTER YOU IF YOU DO, AND LAUGH YOU STRAIGHT IN THE FACE WHILE AT IT. DO NOT MOCK THE PRINCIPLE. All clear? Onto the exercices. Start a new game in heavy mode (or do a restart from a Next Game save if you want to change Jill's outfit) and play any way you like until you're able to equip the Knife (it's inside the first save box you encounter). Equip it and let Jill assume the position (always wanted to say that :). Exercise 1: take a few swings and get used to the rhythm. Aim up and down and let her swing some more, until you have memorized all the animation differences and attack range. Take note of the area Jill controls while moving. As with every weapon from the ready position, you have an ATTACK phase and a RECOVERY phase. Try to discern these, and note how horribly SLOW the knife is. This is it's greatest weakness. Note that you cannot cancel the entire slash once Jill started it. Exercise 2: Repeat exercise 1, but let go of the R1 button after each slash. See how Jill steps back a little to straighten herself? It is VERY IMPORTANT to know that during that small step, you cannot control Jill in any way, only after it's finished. You WILL get into big trouble if you don't take this little detail into account. Exercise 3: Repeat exercise 3, followed by a quick turnaround (tap DOWN and X simultaneously) and a dash. Practice it until fully mastered, as it is a fundamental move in your repertoire. You'll be doing this combo a LOT. There should never be a delay from the stepback to the turnaround. Once you feel you're confident enough, it'll be time to put your training skills to the test on the monsters outside... -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 4 The Walkthrough _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Chapter 0 Walkthrough, structure --------- I wanted this to be clear guide at all times. Here's the deal: * Jill/Carlos runs through ROOMs. Each room is described using following layout: [ROOM NUMBER] [ROOM NAME] [GRADE] [ITEMS] [MONSTERS] [ANCIENT HORADRIC SCRIPTURES] [ACTIONS] Confused? Don't be. [ROOM NUMBER] is a unique three digit code for fast room lookup. [ROOM NAME] is the official room name (c) Capcom(tm). Fruity names? Blame them. [GRADE] is a number ranging from 0 to 10, denoting the room's difficulty. 0 means it's a breeze, 10 means you're going to fight Nemesis inside the Cable Car (you don't). [ITEMS] are the available room items. Items may carry tags, such as: [R]: Random item [2x]: Item occurs twice [3x]: Item occurs thrice NULL signifies no items. Since this is a Knife Only guide, I won't mention the location of any other weapons or ammo. You'll only see healing items, Ink Ribbons and key items. I STRONGLY recommend you pick them all up, but keep at least one inventory slot free. You don't want to waste any healing items... [MONSTERS] are the residing monsters in the room. If there are two possible monster configurations possible, you'll see this: [MONSTERS+] [MONSTERS-] [MONSTERS+] is what you want to see. If you come across the not-so-good [MONSTERS-], reset your game and load an earlier savepoint. Keep trying until the good stuff appears. NULL signifies no monsters. Of course, [ITEMS] and [MONSTERS] are only mentioned on first appearance. [ACTIONS] are basic, gameplay related stuff you need to do to get on with the game. This includes pickups of key items. [ANCIENT HORADRIC SCRIPTURES] are the guidelines recorded by me as I forced Jill to forget about all those cool weapons and just stick with the Knife. Convincing Carlos took considerably more time. Contains both room-specific and general things, such as monster info on first encounters and playing tips. One last, important comment: on first play, avoid the Nemesi like the plague, and only fight them when you need to (follow the tactics in the combat file). Play as if you were doing a speed guide, so that you get familiar with handling basic creatures and how to avoid them. Don't do backtrack missions. Once you did the 'speed' walkthrough, it may be time to consider actually taking on your foes. If you don't, you'll end up losing much more time than you bargained for... as well as your general sanity. All set now? Let's go! Chapter 1 My, Last Escape has, begun --------- The game starts with Jill blasting out of a burning hotel room of some kind. Run forwards, lure the single zombie blocking her path, then curb around him. Go over the dumpster and enjoy the non-skippable cut-scene. Once Jill finishes saying 'I CAN'T beLIEVE that I'm stILL, aLIVE', tap select followed by a reversal (tap the Run button and Down simultaneously). 100 Storehouse 0 FAS (First Aid Spray) NULL 101 Storehouse Office 0 Ink Ribbon[3x] NULL Discard: Game Manual A, Game Manual B, Reload Tool Pick up: Warehouse Key, Combat Knife Equip: Combat Knife Practice Toothpick 101 until all three excercises are fully mastered (success rate should be 95%). Now let's talk HP. If you even dream about surviving with the Knife, know that healing items are very precious, so you really don't want to waste them. Thus keeping track of your character's HP is vital. You need to know exactly how much damage your character receives and how much HP is left. This is where your add/subtract skills come in handy, and this FAQ will tell you how much damage any monster attack may inflict. You might also want to know how much damage you'll inflict with the knife. Don't worry, we'll cover that as well. Jill and Carlos are worth a fine 200HP when at full health (status FINE). Should it sink beneath 100HP, they'll start to show signs of injury (status CAUTION), and limp when below 20HP (status DANGER). ONLY heal when in danger status (you can anticipate this when counting), or when you're likely to fall victim to a lethal attack (more about that later). 100 Storehouse 0 Ink Ribbon NULL Use: Warehouse Key 102 Lane in front of Storehouse 0 NULL NULL 103 Main Street 1 NULL Zombie[5x] Time for a little target practice, and these wide open streets are the perfect training grounds. Also, the zombies are scattered and you can pick them apart one by one. So, how do we take them out? Let's start with some background: __/Zombie Fact Sheet\___________ Appearance: thin male, fat male, thin female, naked male Speed: crawl/slowest/slow/medium/fast/variable HP: 35-138 Attack damage (HP) Bite 20 Leg Bite 05 Acid 10(near)/05(far) Hand grab 00 Leg grab 00 Knife damage 10 ________ ____________________/ Zombies are the most common creature type you'll encounter, and thus have the most diverse properties. These ex-humans have highly variable appearance, speed and HP, and usually appear in large hordes (typically 6 or more). General note: it's interesting to know that every creature (besides Nemesis) comes in two Modes: Sleeper Mode and Active Mode. While in Sleeper Mode, a creature will wander around aimlessly, minding its own business. However, once it 'detects' your character, it'll immediately go over into Active Mode and do its best to kill you. Study a Hunter to see the differences between the two Modes. Also, a vital trick before we move on: when things get too difficult to handle, it's a wise idea to exit the room. This will reset all surviving creatures to their offset positions, but unfortunately, they get fully healed and their properties will be regenerated at random. But it's a little price to pay with respect to the health you save. So always make sure you've got an exit. Okay, back to zombies. What's the best way of dealing with them? _____/Zombie Combat File\___________________ As you can see from the fact sheet, it takes 4 to 14 stabs for a zombie to bite the dust. You don't want to attack an entire moving pack, but rather try to work on one while the rest is busy sleeping elsewhere. To do this, exit the room to put everyone back to Sleeper Mode. Re-enter and try to arouse a single zombie into Active Mode. Analyze his speed - if it's a fast zombie (trust me, you'll definately notice when that happens), exit, because it'll chew right into you. You can handle any velocity below fast with the stab/turnaround combo, so start pickin'. After 3 or 4 swipes, a zombie ALWAYS drops, even if it has 138HP, so abuse it to land 4 more stabs while it tries to get up. It'll usually die by then (most zombies are 71-99HP range), but hang in there if it doesn't. By now, other zombies might be activated and are coming in, so get ready to exit and reenter (known as the almighty exit/reenter trick) as soon as you finish dealing with your current victim. ________________ ________________/ That's all there is to it. Zombie = cannon fodder normally, so practice your skills in this room, and try not to get bitten at all. It is imperative that you conserve all your health this early in the game, and you'll see soon enough why... 104 Y Junction 1 Lighter Oil - Green Herb(Green)[2x] Zombie[5x] If you go up the stairs, you'll soon meet a door from which Brad comes storming out, zombies pursuing him. If you don't see this happen, try to open said door. Then, run back from whence you came. Exit and re-enter to calm the angry mob (there'll always be a runner after Brad's escape), then dispose of them. Pick up: Lighter Oil 105 Street in front of Apartment Building with 1F Shop 1 Green Herb [2x] Zombie[6x] Three zombies up front, two others munching on a corpse at the back. While you're busy with these two, the corpse will soon enough join the party. There's gratitude for ya. Should you be interested in a few health items (I sure am), there are two Green Herbs to be found in the area. You can climb a crate near the corpse-munchers, then activate a fire escape, run up and collect the stuff. These items may be considered semi-hidden. 106 Garbage Dump 1 Ink Ribbon[3x] Zombie[2x] Go down the the stairs, where Brad's shooting a zombie. He'll kill it, leaving the two remaining zombies for Jill (how nice). Abuse the stairs for easy kills with downward stabs. 107 Bar Jack 0 empty Lighter Zombie Tap Select, followed by a 180 once Jill's visible again. You're so scared of Brad pelting a walking undead that you want to exit back to the Garbage Dump. As you do that, Brad somehow raises caliber and brings his assailant down quick. Pick up: empty Lighter 106 Garbage Dump 0 108 Street where policemen were slain 1 Red Herb(Red)[2x] Zombie[7x] Zombies are partying behind a fence and want you to join... badly. Wait for them to pop the fence, then hurry over to stab the two crawlers a few times. Once the gang's close enough, hide behind the oil cannister and let them get stuck behind it. You may now freely stab forward for loads of damage, but sooner or later, the crawlers will come around. Dispose of them now and mount the stacked bars in the back of the area. The walkers that are still alive will join you there, but can't do a thing besides dropping acid (which is pretty harmless as you now know). Keep'em at the front of the stacked bars, step back and use downward stabs for the kill. This is taking full advantage of your surroundings, folks. Claim your prize, a set of Red Herbs, which can be combined to form 2 Red-Green mixtures. You'll be needing them soon enough. Now head to the vine-wrapped exit gate. Combine: empty Lighter, Lighter Oil Use: Lighter 109 Garbage Collection Point 1 NULL Zombie Dog(Lassie)[2x] ______/Zombie Dog Fact Sheet\______________ Appearance: Think 'evil German shepherd' HP: 69-129 Speed: Fast Attack Damage Bite 12 Knife damage: 10HP ______/Zombie Dog Combat File\_____________ They're pretty easy. Predictable, too. Once in Active Mode, they'll just run around and bite you. However, if you hit'em once (forward/downward swipe), they'll drop like a potato bag. Your opportunity to home in for the kill. When there're two or more coming at once, try to group them in a tight pack and mow them down simultaneously. If that's too risky for you, focus on a single kill while the others take bites (for relatively low damage), then exit/reenter for the rest. Of course, if you can take one out while the others are minding their own business, do so. Rule of thumb: one is a charm, two is okay, three watch your back. _____________ _____________________/ Run up to the junction, then slowly walk until the burning dog jumps out of the fire. He'll run to the back, which is your cue to follow. You'll find two dogs nicely bundled together and with one simple swing, both drop in close vicinity to eachother. A few double-swipes later, they're history. 118 Storeroom on Back Lane 0 NULL NULL How is Jill's health? Still above 150HP? Then SAVE here using an Ink Ribbon. In this game, saving a lot is HIGHLY recommended, if only for easier monster configs (using the reload trick). Inventory check: Combat Knife - Red-Green[2x] - Ink Ribbon [5x] 110 Street in front of Police Station Main Gate 0 NULL NULL Nothing there, so you might as well train your running skills by following the shortest path to the Police Station (straight lines). Ahh, the calm before the storm... 201 Police Station Main Entrance 8 STARS Card(Brad) Nemesis type I Hold Select to end the FMV. First-time knifers want to do this: LIVE SELECTION 1 -> Fight the Monster Do a 180 and dash for the exit. Do it quickly or Nemesis will catch up and hurt you with his overhead punch. You don't want to moonwalk (failed 180) here. Veteran players may try to take on their very first Nemesis kill, so... *Insert favorite warcry here* (and be prepared to see the YOU DIE! screen lots of times). _______/Nemesis type I Fact Sheet\_________________ Appearance: Nemesis in overcoat, biped HP: 900 Speed: Faster than you Attack Damage Grab 05 (attack is lethal if your HP is below 40) Punch 20 Running punch 25 Rocket launcher 40-60! Knife damage: 10 _______/Nemesis type I Combat File\________________ Fact: Nemesis type I is EXTREME. He's a cold merciless killer who will obliterate you when you make too many mistakes. He is the hardest challenge the game can throw at you, so if you have a friend who says "DOOD I DO N3M3515 W17H KN1F3 34SY!", he's lying to you. Trust me: there is NO cheap tootpick trick, solely due to the fact that your cuttlery is so darn slow, and Nemesis type I is so darn fast. You WILL need Jill at nearly full health and two full healing items to survive him, and ultimately the game. Look at the statistics: you need 90 stabs before he drops! That means you'll be spending an awful lot of time with him. During this time, you'll start to feel the adrenalin. Do not let it get the best of you! If you lose nerves, he'll have a much easier time slaughtering you. Nemesis type I comes in two flavors: Vanilla before he drops (after about 40 stabs), and Lemon after the drop. I personally like Vanilla, but Lemon's just too darn sour. Nemesis Vanilla is 'acceptable' at best. The strategy to follow here is to lure him into grabbing you, then run away (not too soon and not too far!) and stab (pray that he doesn't connect a punch afterwards). Repeat about 40 times for his first drop. It won't be easy, but you should manage. If Nemmy comes too close during your recovery phase, get ready to Dodge; it's your only safeguard. After that comes Nemesis Lemon, and he has a very effective counterstrategy to your lure/stab scheme: if you give him enough time to think, he'll punch before grabbing, allowing him to do a nice 20HP damage bonus, and the fun part is that it's uncounterable (the animation takes only a few frames). The key to beating him is to not give him the time to think. Stick close, stick to the old plan, but do it fast and accurate. About 50 stabs later, you may call yourself a true badass. A very important requirement for all this is space. Nemesis will pulverise you in a tight corridor, so let him follow you to an open place (a moderately sized square will do) and do your thing there. And the fun part is: there are six incarnations to wreck (type I)! So much fun, yes sirree. _________________ ___________________________/ The reason why this gets an 8, even though this is actually the easiest Nemesis fight in the game, is because this might be your FIRST Nemesis fight... you'll spend quite a lot of time figuring him out here. 202 Hall in Police Station 0 NULL NULL 203 West Side Office 1.5 NULL 5 Zombies (scenario 1) Jill looks dead ahead as she enters. All zombies are stacked in a room and will be heading towards your general direction. It's pretty easy to isolate one of the critters and have some words with it, then leave/reenter to clear the room. (scenario 2) Jill looks to the left as a zombie is near. Killing it asap is your highest priority, and it's best to leave-reenter should he be too fast. Once he's gone, leave/reenter to eradicate the nearby sleeper zombie. With him gone, others will have closed in, but you should have enough room to take out one other zombie, preferably the one behind the sleeper. If you kill him, you can run around the office desks and attack the remaining undead from the back to finish the room. 204 Storehouse for Seized Object 0 Blue Gem - Emblem Key NULL Pick up: Blue Gem Pick up: Emblem Key (after entering passcode) I hear the entire survivalhorror community screaming at me. "YOU FORGOT BRAD'S STARS CARD! YOU DIDN'T CHECK THE COMPUTER! YOU DON'T HAVE THE PASSWORD! YOU'RE DOOMED! GO HOME!" No sweat then, mind if I take a lucky guess? The are only four codes: 0131 - 4011 - 0513 - 4312 I always enter them in this sequence as 0131 is the fastest to enter, so if it's the right guess, I'm out fast. But you could try the long 4312 from the start, if you feel that Lady Luck's at yo' crib. 205 Corridor in front of Darkroom 1 NULL 4 Zombies Press up and run to get the female zombie to notice you (which, unlike real life, will succeed ;). You do this to check whether she's a speed zombie or not. In the latter case, commence stabbing and get to her before her two male companions get too close. leave/reenter upon success, then work on the aforementioned duo; they should be a snap. There's one hidden Zombie as you follow the corridor parallel to the staircase. 209 Corridor in front of Conference Room 2 Red Herb[2x][R] 6 Zombies A tight corridor with a pack of zombies in the back. Why bother coming here? Well, for one, this hones your mad Zombie knifing skills, as the Zombies are packed together and secondly, they may guard two Red Herbs, which you really, really need. Don't bother visiting the Conference Room; there's nothing of intrest there. 205 Corridor in front of Darkroom 0 206 Corridor with Stone Statue 1 NULL 4 Zombies (scenario 1) You see three Zombies as you go up the stairs. The perspective is tricky, but you need to cut in behind the first and escape diagonally. Run on to surprise the fat Zombie near the statue. The other Zombies should be close once you dealt with him, so pick one out and work it. The remainder is handled as usual. (scenario 2) You see nothing as you go up. The fat zombie's here and the three previous zombies are now at the statue. Proceed as above - fat cop first, then the others. 207 Corridor in front of S.T.A.R.S. Office 0 Red Herb[2x][R] You should have enough ingredients to make two Mixed Herbs. Make it so. 208 S.T.A.R.S. Office 0 Pick up: Lockpick, First Aid Spray (Rebecca's desk) Tap Select when you hear the first beep from the communications panel (happens when you exit). You shouldn't hear the second echo beep. 207 Corridor in front of S.T.A.R.S. Office 206 Corridor with Stone Statue 205 Corridor in front of Darkroom 0 Nemesis type I Nemmy will surprise you here and look - he brought his friend Ronny the Rocket Launcher. You better not fight him here, as there's not sufficient room (and the staircase'll make things hard. Retreat. 210 Darkroom 0 Save your game. 205 Corridor in front of Darkroom 0 206 Corridor with Stone Statue 8 Nemesis type I First run all the way to the Stone Statue. Nemesis will follow you up and because you're sooo far away, he'll send a few rockets your way (even Nemmy gets a little lazy now and again). Of course, you can easily evade them, do so until your favorite foe's supply expires (he has 5 missiles) and is forced to drop Ronny, following up with The Pose. Quickly join him at the little square right in front of the staircase and kill him in the exact same way as you did in front of the police building. You don't have as much space here, obviously, but the square diagonal is just about the right size to play the stab-move game (and here, it's easy to stick close, which makes Lemon Nemmy "manageable"). Time to move on. 205 Corridor in front of Darkroom 204 Storehouse for seized Object 203 West-side Office 202 Hall in Police Station 201 Police Station Main Entrance 110 Street in front of Police Station Main Gate The Lockpick comes in handy here. 111 Shopping Street Side Road 0 112 Lane in back of Shopping Street 0 113 Street in front of Car Park 1 NULL Zombie Dog[3x] It's easy knifing the doggies, as they attack you separately (unless you kamikazed Jill straight to the exit door). 301 Car Park 2 Blue Herb[infinite supply] - Power Cable Zombie Dog[2x] Run to the Car Park Office and reenter to facilitate the kill. 302 Car Park Office 0 NULL NULL 303 Street in front of exclusive Hotel 4 NULL Zombie Dog[3x] Run left. Two dogs behind you. Keep on running to the left until a third dog jumps and misses, then go for the exit. Enjoy the doggy parade. Now reenter and immediately start stabbing the nearby dog. Make sure it's dead before its compatriots arrive or when when they do, keep focussing on that one dog. Leave as soon as it's gone, then reenter to finish the two others. 304 Construction Site 4 NULL Drain Deimos[1x] Run along until the game introduces you to a new creature: the Drain Deimos. _______/Drain Deimos Fact Sheet\_________________ Appearance: giant centipede-like bug HP: 84-140 Speed: slow/average/fast (depends on attack) Attack Damage Left Claw 15 Right Claw 10 Embrace 30 Poison Attack near: 10 far: 05 Egg 01 Knife damage: 10 _______/Drain Deimos Combat File\_________________ As you can see above, you don't want to fall victim to the Deimos' Embrace attack. And you certainly DON'T want to be Embrace-locked by two Drain Deimos, as it's instant game over. Ignore the difference in claw damage - just count 15 for each blow. Now, the key to defeating these annoying pests is to fight them one by one. If a second or even third Deimos cares to join the party, leave/reenter. Be prepared for a very boring fight, where you and the Deimos trade punches until one of you dies (preferably the Deimos). I tried flanking the monsters (ie. stick to its right side), but your opponent turns much too fast to effectively use this tactic. So we're stuck at trading punches, but fear not: now and then, the Deimos is tempted to use its Embrace attack, which you can dodge easily (you'll see it try getting up). After the dodge, you get a couple of free stabs due to the Deimos' slow recovery time. Try to ignore them as much as you can (until right before a major plot twist), because you'll need your healing items for more important matters (Nemesis being one of them). Be assured, fighting two of these critters will always cost you one full recovery item, so by doing the maths, you know whether you want to fight them or not. _________________ ___________________________/ Only one Drain Deimos here, which is an excellent practice opportunity. 305 Street in front of Restaurant 0 Green Herb[2x] - Bronze Compass Carlos is shooting some rotten flesh.

You have to fight him girlo-a-Nemeso in what has to be the smallest crawlspace imaginable. And you can't get him to spawn anywhere else. Luckily, we've got a (be it marginally small) trick up our sleeves - the Y Junction point! It's possible to trap Nemesis at the grassy patch; simply lure him to either the City Office or Cable Car, then hook onto the grassy patch visible at the junction camera point. When done correctly, Nemmy should get stuck, leaving him open to your attacks. Beware: if Nemesis switches to a running attack, he'll get free, and you'll have to retrap him. Now, if all that is too hard for you, or you don't have the patience for it, you'll be forced to take him on directly.

You need a perfect position to hit the switchboard. If you do, press the Action button, then wait again for the maggot to rear its ugly head. Now run back to the first alcove (the one you walked into) and press the switchboard there. Now to get mr. Digger out of the way. Run to the camera perspective right before the spot where the ladder is going to pop out. See that neon light? See the little rocks it illuminates? That's your offset position. From there, do the following: 1 - walk a few steps forward until you hear mr. Digger banzai 2 - return to offset position and stab downwards 3 - repeat steps 1-2 until mr. Digger gives up And that's all there is to it. Note that the Digger won't use his Devour attack at this stage, so you're safe for the time being. I won't tell ya that this simple procedure takes up to 30 minutes before it's over as that's a big secret. Sorry.

Chronos Chain - Silver Wheel

Activate the Music Clock. In order to receive the Chronos Chain, you'll have to
reproduce the short jingle by placing pins at the right position.

Pick up: Chronos Chain (after solving the puzzle)
Combine: Clock T. Key (#1), Chronos Chain -> Chronos Key

This is a random puzzle with a total of 64 possibilities and unluckily, the
odds are not in your favor, as 65% of the time, you'll place three or more pins
incorrectly. How I got that percentage? Simple.

As said, there are 64 possibilities (2^6) in all. A possibility has a number of
correctly placed pins and a number of incorrectly placed pins. So, we could ask
ourselves: "How many possibilities have m pins correctly placed (and thus 6-m
incorrectly)?"

Well, the answer turns out to be: 6! / [ (6-m)! * m! ]

(this is an instance of the general combinatorial formula: m out of n equals n!
/ [ (n-m)! * m! ])

(note: n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * n. 0! = 1)

Thus,

0 pins correctly placed: 6! / ( 0! * 6! ) = 1  possibility
1 pin correctly placed : 6! / ( 5! * 1! ) = 6  possibilities
2 pins correctly placed: 6! / ( 4! * 2! ) = 15 possibilities
3 pins correctly placed: 6! / ( 3! * 3! ) = 20 possibilities
4 pins correctly placed: 6! / ( 2! * 4! ) = 15 possibilities
5 pins correctly placed: 6! / ( 1! * 5! ) = 6  possibilities
6 pins correctly placed: 6! / ( 6! * 0! ) = 1  possibility

Add up these possibilities and you'll get 64. Anyway, you can see now that
there are 42 possibilities where you have only 3 pins or less placed correctly.
And 42 out of 64 is about 2 out of 3 - approximately 65%. Sucks, huh?

Why I bothered writing this down? To differ a little from the Handgun
walkthrough, I guess :).

_______/Hunter Combat File\_________________

Hurray, the Hunters are back! And they're still you very worst nightmare... the
only reason why Nemmy is 'better' than these murder machines is that he has
much more HP before he drops.

They usually appear in twos or threes and you really have no other option than
to keep them separated at all costs! If they combo up, you're dead, no matter
how skilled you are. You should be fine as long as they're on their own.

Killing a single Hunter is "easy" - just stay behind it (it turns around very
slowly) and cut away. The problem is that soon enough, other patrolling Hunters
see you and join in, which is... well, just try and watch how a 200HP
Jill/Carlos gets slaughtered in just a few seconds...

And that's it - no cheap tricks, no uberskills necessary, just keep'em
separated and kill very, very FAST or you'll be sorry. One last tip: count your
HP very carefully and refill if you drop below 70. Hunters are smart - I've
seen a character at 80HP die because Hunter 2 did a Head Hunter at the same
time as Hunter 1 did a claw swipe. That was outright scary.

Anyway here, you SHOULD dispatch these two Hunters, as they guard two Red
Herbs, which are pretty essential to Carlos. But we WON'T, as they get killed
by the game later on, so all we need to do is get those Herbs. How?

Exit to the Office and reenter. You'll see one Hunter to the left of the
screen, a pillar on the right. Wait for the Hunter to activate, then curl
around the pillar. If you did it correctly, you'll have caught Hunter One AND
Two in the dead merc area and you're safe to get ONE Red Herb. Exit to the
Office and repeat. If one of the two Hunters isn't caught, immediately exit.

Now, as a Hunter practice run, before doing anything else, go outside to 601
Park Street - your cleaning of 4 Zombies there caused a respawn of... 2
Hunters. Lucky for you, Park Street is nice, wide and as a bonus, the Hunters
are largely separated, meaning you can take them on one at a time. Find out how
they work and practice until you're able to off them quick and efficiently,
then return to 502 Office In Hospital. Of course, your foes are also part of
the 100% kill.

There, SAVE the game! We'll need Lady Luck on our side during the trials ahead,

_______/Nemesis type II Combat File\_________________

Look at the numbers. You scared yet? You need 129 knife stabs to get him down
(129 * 7 = 903), during which Nemmy can play with you at leisure and hurt very,
very HARD. Thankfully, you only need to fight him this way once in the entire
game and to be honest, nobody's going to ridicule you if you opt not to fight
him.

However, with miles of patience, you'll get him. He's basically a Lemon Nemmy
(all the time), and you need to stay far, far away from those tentacles (which
are on his right side. Correct, Nemmy switched his handedness!). Once he
launches an attack, you have just about enough time to stab him in the back -
do so (backstabbing is good).

Note that Nemmy no longer grabs you in the traditional sense. Thus you have a
little more running freedom against this form, and by Jove, you need it. I must
say, besting him was a tremendous experience, although I'm not very likely to
repeat it 24/7, you know? :)

Hold Select to terminate the FMV, then keep up and the Run button pressed.

Jill will barely pass the outcoming Grave Digger - and look, he's got his
magical armor on, because you were just too strong for him in the sewers!
Still, even with the armor, mr. Digger's all yours. How?

There are two attack patterns this guy likes to perform.

Pattern 1: mr. Digger comes out for a full frontal attack. He'll slide
over the surface, jaws extended to hurt you. If he's in this mode, get
close to stall him and run when he decides to charge. Once he goes down
again, he'll switch to pattern two.

Pattern 2: Grave Digger moves underground and leaps up for a short bite
for a certain amount of times (pretty random, in my experience between
2-6 times). After that, he'll revert to pattern one, which you can hear
as the digging suddenly stops. You MUST run to the site where he emerges and
stall/run.

There's a great trick to outsmart the worm while he's in pattern two. Run to
the place where you climbed the ladder to access the graveyard for the first
time. For the moment nothing's there, except for a lot of dirt. Now position
yourself about four-five steps before the track ends. Turn Jill around so you
can see her bee-hind (ooohh..).

Here, Grave Digger is unable to attack you from both sides, so he can only
attack Jill from the back. When he does, simply run forward and he'll miss
completely. Immediately return to base position. You can do this trick at the
other side of the area too, but the perspective is awkward there.

Anyway, let Diggy play a wittle with Jill. After a while, there'll be a
cutscene where two lampposts get damaged and lo' and behold - they're hanging
over an inviting puddle'o'water! Here's the fun bit: you can knock the
lampposts down with the knife (R2 aim)! Knock'em both down and Digger gets down
too - permanently. Hence the difficulty rating :)

Runner.

At this point, you might think the Clock Tower has spawned new enemies, as
we're now much further along the story. Alas no, so we'll continue to the

"Look - I'm sorry I chipped you to death on six separate counts and thus
ridiculed you in front of the entire survival horror community. Can't we talk
this over, like adults?"

"MWAAHHHHH...."

It's not looking good now, is it? Nemesis has more resilience than ever
and you're still holding that toothpick. Plus there's a four minute
countdown. You're never going to beat him in time, if you don't believe
consider this: 129 stabs required, 4 minute countdown = 240 seconds. Thus you
need to stab Nemmy every 1.86 seconds. This would be possible if Nemmy were an
inanimate rag doll, but being the killing machine he is, this simply cannot be
done.

Luckily, your worst enemy actually shows you how to defeat him. Look at
that valve... it opens, and lots of gooey stuff comes out. It seems to
hurt Nemesis bad. Well, that's your strategy right there. And it only
takes three simple stabs.

Once Jill's back, run forward to the last valve in a sequence of three.
Lure Nemesis to it -Jill's the bait-, then R2 aim and *whack*! You don't care
if Jill gets hurt. What you care about is that he positions himself nicely in
front of the valve.

After a short delay, a shower of chemicals gushes out, hurting Nemmy type II
hard. Repeat this at the next valve and watch how your foe literally loses its
head, but still keeps going. Now do your trick near the third valve. This will
be lethal for Nemesis.

Say: 'Mwaahhhhh YOU, sucka!'

You still need 129 knife stabs to get him down and as you can see, this mean
mother has the most powerful attack in the game, which can theoretically kill
you even in Fine condition. It's still 129 stabs for the kill.

But you only have fight this guy once, and during this fight you get help from
a gigantic rail cannon. So I say, "Let the machine do the job". You deserve a
break after all the hard work. So simply follow the tactic outlined below and
show this guy the ropes.

Kudos to Oak for pointing this strategy out to me. I've been speed playing the
game for so long that its very existence eluded me. I usually load up the
grenade launcher with some fire rounds and let rip, which is faster than
waiting for Paracelsus to fire a shot. Oh well, so much the better.
                            _________________
___________________________/

Okay, tactic...

Nemmy absorbed so much chemicals that he's now a walking vat of acid, but
you're not going to die here. Shove in batteries two and three (and by Jove,
they're painfully easy to find - just look around for objects standing off from
the background), then retreat to where you saw a tyrant corpse, near battery
one.

Nemmy should be on top of the central framework by now... just wait for him to
show his tentacles (Oooh :), then move out before his acid attack hits. By now,
Paracelsus should have started his countdown and fires shot numero uno. After
the white flash, Nemmy's trapped inside the opened framework.

All you need to do is keep Nemmy there and no place else. Paracelsus will keep
on hitting him hard and a few shots later, he's decimated. Game over, dude! :)

You may not, in any way, alter the text. Not one letter. Lots of work and many,
MANY hours of play went into this and I don't want to see any other name saying
its their walkthrough.

If you want to see this document on your website, send me an e-mail
telling your intentions. I'll generally concur, if you agree with the
terms stated in this disclaimer.

Sorry to be so strict, but I don't like reading about people who see their text
appearing on websites they didn't give permission for. The Internet is a FREE
information center for anyone and serves to make our lives a bit easier.
Period.
