Learn how to acquire the Gallery Key in Resident Evil (1996) to access key locations like Room 003 and the Pharmacy, and bypass the Plant 42 lair.

This guide section details how to obtain the Gallery Key in Resident Evil (1996), which is necessary to access certain rooms within the Spencer Dormitory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the 1996 version, the Gallery Key is found on a small table near the wasp nest in the alcove. Be cautious, as approaching the nest will spawn infected wasps. The wasps will disappear if you leave the room, but will respawn if you re-enter the area. Collect the key and avoid the nest.
  2. 2
    In the 2002 version, the Gallery Key is on a cabinet where the wasp nest is built. To safely retrieve it, first find the insecticide spray bottle on the corpse of a researcher in the adjacent hallway. Return to the Dormitory corridor and use the insecticide on the wasp nest to eliminate them, allowing you to collect the key without being attacked.
Tips
  • The Gallery serves as a hub to Room 003, the Pharmacy/chemical storage room (for V-JOLT), and the entrance to Plant 42's lair.
  • In the 1996 version, the Gallery is initially empty except for its doors and the wasp nest alcove.
  • In the 2002 version, the Gallery is more ornate, featuring shelving with chemicals and lab equipment, and a central plinth with more equipment. The hallway to the wasp nest alcove is longer and contains the researcher's corpse.
