Resident Evil (1996): Learn what happens when you wait for Barry to drop the rope after defeating Yawn, or if you choose not to wait.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After defeating Yawn for the second time, Barry will enter the room.
  2. 2
    He will attempt to drop a rope into the hole for you to descend, but he drops it by mistake.
  3. 3
    Barry will inform you that he will go and retrieve another rope.
  4. 4
    You are presented with two options: wait for Barry or do not wait for Barry.
  5. 5
    If you choose to wait, Barry will eventually re-enter the room with a new rope, and he will remain safe until the Underground section.
  6. 6
    If you choose not to wait for Barry and instead go down the hidden ladder leading to the basement, you will not find Barry in the Underground.
  7. 7
    Instead, you will find him dying near the end of the game, specifically next to the Item Box in B2 of the lab as you are attempting to escape.
Tips
  • Waiting for Barry ensures his safety and continued presence in the game.
