Self-destruct code
Enter "Veronica" as a code when playing as
Chris on Disc 2 when you have to open all doors and elevators
to save Claire with 5:00 minutes to evacuate.
Find a magnum for Wesker
Locate the casino room where everyone got a first aid
from the slot machine. Wesker will hit it and the bottom will
open and reveal a magnum instead of a first aid spray. Note: Although
it only has six shots, it will only take five to kill Alexia type
1.
Hidden item crate on airplane
There is an item crate in the cockpit of the airplane,
beside and to the right of the cargo bay door. This makes it easier
to prepare before entering the cargo bay.
Extra First Aid Spray
When the model of the training facility uncovers the
secret passageway, go to the cabinet. Use the lock pick to open
it and get a First Aid Spray.
Extra Ink Ribbons
While in the Private Residence, before go on the stairs
is a room to the left. There is a Bandersnatch inside. There is
also BOW gun ammunition on the mantle and handgun bullets near
the door. Go to the door of that room then go all the way around
it to find some Ink Ribbons.
Grenade launcher
Before you go up to the Residential House on the Hill,
take the ladder in the area outside in the "Training Facility"
where Alfred ambushed you with the sniper rifle. It will lead
you back to where you played as Steve. You can get a grenade launcher
and ammo, but you need the Blue Card Key.
Extra BOW gun ammunition
Behind were you obtained the grenade launcher is a
door. Equip your grenade launcher before going in, as there are
two Bandersnatchs. Also in here are some BOW gun arrows, near
where you killed the first one.
Extra Acid rounds
In the room were you get the grenade launcher, near
the rack is a door. This is the room where Chris enhances his
pistol. Inside a cabinet are some Acid rounds. You need the lock
pick to open it.
Extra handgun bullets
In the Military Training Facility, go to the copy room.
Near the back door where the sink is located is a drawer locked
by a simple lock. Use the lock pick to open it. Inside is a box
of handgun bullets.
Saving ammunition
Use the combat knife to save ammunition. To kill a
zombie easily, point at its head. Swipe at the right place and
time and the monster will go down. Then quickly swipe down to
finish it off. This works well with Wesker in battle mode.
Instead of swiping at their heads with the combat knife, aim for
their legs when they are walking. This will cause their knees
to buckle and they will drop. Keep swiping a few more times to
kill thm. This works best just when they are getting up because
it causes multiple hits in one swipe. If you aim down at just
about anything else, it will be very effective and will kill it
in less than ten hits. This is not recommended for Bosses (Nostafu,
Alexia, Spider, etc.)
Defeating the first stage of Alexia
When Alexia is in her transformation and going to kill
Claire with one hit, shoot an arrow to save ammunition for the
other weapons.
Defeating the second stage of Alexia
Walk right up to her and shoot six normal grenade rounds
directly at her face. She will change to her third form.
Defeating Queen Ant Alexia
Have a little load of Herbs in your inventory. Equip
your BOW-gun with about twenty explosive darts then enter the
detonation code, "VERONICA". When this is done, run
back through the door and get ready for the battle. Quickly shoot
the morphed Alexia before she pushes Claire over the edge. When
this is done, fire all of your BOW-gun arrows toward Alexia. She
will die after about ten to fifteen hits. After the intermission
sequence, get the Linear Launcher and blast Alexia to bits.
Defeating Bandersnatches
The first real Boss is a Bandersnatch that Alfred Ashford
sets out for you. The best way to defeat it is to run to the stairs
and climb down. It will jump to the lower level to get at you.
Shoot it five times with the Bow gun using ordinary arrows. Climb
back up the stairs and the Bandersnatch will use his arm to hoist
himself back up to where he started and you can shoot him again.
As long as you keep running up and down the stairs he will never
get near you -- when he jumps to another level he starts back
at the farthest distance away from you. Use the Bowgun because
you can get hundreds of arrows during the game, conserving your
more powerful weapons (such as the MP-100s and MRI-19) for more
dangerous enemies. Although this is the only Bandersnatch in the
game that you have to kill, it is the easiest.
When ever you encounter a Bandersnatch (the monsters with one
arm missing and one rubber-like arm), have your combat knife equipped.
Run towards the Bandersnatch and avoid its punches. When you are
directly in front of it, start knifing it upwards and downwards.
If done correctly, you can take the Bandersnatch down by knifing
it two or three times.
Defeating Cerberuses
These are the zombie-like dogs. Shoot one until it
hits the ground, then quickly run towards it, aim downwards, and
shoot. The Cerberus will not be able to get back on its feet and
will die easily. Note, that this can be a bit difficult when encountering
numerous Cerberuses.
Defeating Hunters
Note: This applies to both normal and poison varieties.
Shoot one with the shotgun to knock the Hunter off its feet then
run towards it and give it one more good shot. This is more effective
when the monsters lie on the ground, as the shotgun will spread
its projectiles.
Defeating Moths
They are easy to kill with a few shots from the handgun
or they can be killed instantly with one blast from the shotgun.
Note: This is a waste of time, as the moths keep returning.
Defeating Spiders and Ants
Just stomp on them and they will die.
Defeating the Worm
Equip your Bow gun and combine it with arrows. Go inside
the facility and an intermission with Claire dodging the Worm's
attack will start. The battle will then start. When you see rocks
going through the floor, run the other way and shoot him with
the Bow gun. Continue this strategy until it is dead.
Defeating Zombies
Note: This also includes the moth-infected ones. Knock
them down either with the handgun or the knife. The knife is recommended,
as it is most powerful when the zombie is on the floor and it
saves handgun bullets. Note: There can be difficulties when doing
this trick if you are surrounded by a lot of zombies. However
if you knife both upwards and downwards, it is possible to knock
a whole group of zombies down at once. You can then finish them
off.
Avoid bats
With Claire or Chris, use your lighter to avoid bats.
Keep it out and they will not bother you.
Survive longer as Claire
In the prison compound, it is easier for Claire to
gather and save ammunition and healing items. When she is grabbed
and bitten by a zombie, repeatedly press the D-Pad and
she will throw them off a fraction of a second sooner. She will
take about half the damage and takes about twice as long to die.
It will take four bites to change to yellow caution status. Yellow
caution lasts the longest, requiring at least four more bites
to reach orange caution. Always heal whenever possible if you
reach red danger status, as one hit will still cause death.
No zombies in metal detector area
When you are ready to copy the hawk emblem, get into
the room with the duplication machine. Instead of copying the
plate, set off the alarm by taking something metal through the
detector, but do not turn the alarm back on. Copy the plate, then
when you are going back through there will be no zombies in the
hallway.
Fun with Zombies
If you want innovative ways to kill Zombies, try this.
There will be zombies on the dirt road that leads up to the mansion
(where you find the Gold Lugers) the first time you get there.
With your back to the concrete wall, let a zombie grab hold of
you and push him off. He will hit the railing and fall over it.
When you have a lot of Zombies chasing you, run up the nearest
flight of stairs. Shoot the first Zombie that climbs up the stairs
when he reaches the top, but not far enough to get at you. Shoot
him enough times with whatever handgun you have until he looses
his balance and falls down the stairs, killing every other Zombie
below that he lands on. You will not need to shoot the Zombie
more than three times to get him off balance. The best place for
this maneuver is near the end of the game, with Chris in the Moth
Room.
Door-opening Zombie
In Claire's part of the game, go to the part in the
bottom floor of the torture room where you get the piano roll.
After you put the sword in the slot turn around, and go to the
back of the statue. Without killing the Zombie, pick up the piano
roll and leave the room. Go up the steps and you will hear a door
shut. Go back to the top of the steps and the zombie will have
gone through the door and will be walking up the steps to come
after you.
Alternate Nosferatu death
There are two ways to kill Nosferatu, normally where
he will just fall to the ground and with the sniper rifle. If
you kill him with the sniper rifle, you will be treated to a sequence
featuring Claire blasting his heart into pieces.
After shooting the Nosferatu enough to where he is almost dead,
instead of wasting more ammunition, just take your hunting knife
and stab him in the chest. A FMV sequence showing you do this
will appear.
Rescue Rodrigo
Do not just run from the worm and let it eat Rodrigo.
Use about one or two full clips to drop the Worm. Although Rodrigo
will still die, he will give you the lighter, which will help
you get some items.
Finding Rodrigo in battle mode
Start a battle mode game with any character. When you
encounter the hunters for the first time in the room with the
lift, look through the crates blocking the lift to find Rodrigo
.He will just be standing there with his mouth hanging open.
Rescue Steve From Gold Luger room
When you hear Steve scream for help when you try to
leave, go back to the projection/model room. On the panel with
the ship, plane, magnum, pistol, and an ant select both the magnum
and pistol.
Escaping secret room with Golden
Rugers
When you try to take the Golden Rugers in the hidden
room behind the shelf, extreme heat will begin to fill the room.
Your health will diminish very slowly, but the door will seal.
The only way out is to simply place the Rugers back in the slot.
Extra BOW gas rounds in battle mode
During you fourth time as alternate Claire in battle
mode, look in the slot machine for BOW gas rounds. It takes about
five to kill the Boss.
MP100s in battle mode
When playing as Chris in battle mode, go to the casino
room. Go to the slot machine. Instead of the First Aid Spray,
you may get a MP100S randomly.
In battle mode, go to the casino. Go to the slot machine and MP-100s
should be there. This may take awhile. Save and do not use them
until you get to the gulp worm Boss. Use the MP-100s to take him
down faster than the sub-machine guns.
Sub Machine Guns in battle mode
When playing as Claire in in battle mode, go to the
casino room. Open the slot machine to find some Sub Machine Guns.
Note: It may take awhile to get them.
Portrait puzzle solution
This is the sequence to solve the puzzle in the room
with the portraits. The number in parentheses is their position
clockwise when facing the door.
Beautiful woman holding tea set (4)
Middle aged man with red-haired twins (7)
Red-haired man holding a teaset (2)
Red-haired man with earthenware plate (6)
Man with earthenware vase (1)
Man with candlestick (5)
Young man from projector (3- up stairs)
D.I.J.'s journal
You find D.I.J.'s journal in the slot machine in battle
mode. Sometimes you have to play more than once to find it.
D.I.J.'s identity
The person who wrote the D.I.J. diary is the mouse
that jumps out of the locker in the Antarctica section of Claire's
scenario of the game.

in the locker room, go back to the smashed mirror and press [Action].
Chris will do his hair.
Steve
When you get to the junction room, where you have the choice
of going into the casino room or continuing on with battle mode,
check the soda machine after killing everything. Steve will get
upset about not having money for the machine. Note: You may also
need to try the machine in the locker room.
Walk up to one zombie and press [R] to aim, then press [L]
to auto aim with the sub-machine guns. Steve will cross his guns
