Walkthrough for Resident Evil (1996) 'The Underground' section. Includes steps for navigating the area, defeating Hunters and the Black Tiger Spider, and solving puzzles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the first room, open the door to the left. If Barry is present, answer "yes" to his questions.
  2. 2
    Follow the path Barry took (Jill's left) and open the door. After Barry defeats a Hunter, use the opening on the other side of the room.
  3. 3
    Open the door across from you and follow the hallway until a cut-scene. After Enrico is shot, Barry will stay behind.
  4. 4
    On your way back to the door, pick up the Hexagonal Crank. Open the door.
  5. 5
    Kill the Hunter next to you with the Magnum and open the door it was guarding.
  6. 6
    In the next room, you can avoid the Hunter or kill it. Get to the alcove and open the door.
  7. 7
    In the hallway, run south to a hole in the floor. Use the Hexagonal Crank on the slot to rotate the floor.
  8. 8
    Open the door and run north in the hallway. Touch the boulder, then run south. Get back to the alcove before the boulder crushes you.
  9. 9
    Enter the opening created by the boulder. Kill the Hunter by running to its side.
  10. 10
    Go back to where the boulder was. Examine the shelf for Flame Rounds and load your Empty Bazooka.
  11. 11
    Equip the Bazooka and open the double doors near the dead Hunter.
  12. 12
    BOSS: Black Tiger Spider - Use Flame Rounds (one shot) or about three Colt Python hits. Circle the spider while shooting.
  13. 13
    After the fight, leave and re-enter the room to make baby spiders disappear.
  14. 14
    Fire two Flame Rounds at the web blocking the double doors, or use your Knife if Flame Rounds are depleted. Open the doors.
  15. 15
    Run south down the hallway and open the door to a save room. Drop all items except the Hexagonal Crank. Take out the Eagle Medal.
  16. 16
    Leave the save room (no enemies until the next item box).
  17. 17
    Back in the hallway, open the door to avoid snakes.
  18. 18
    In the next hallway, take the north opening. Follow the hallway to a hole in the wall and a crank slot. Use the crank to align the hole with the left wall.
  19. 19
    Run to the boulder, touch it, then run back to the left alcove to let it pass.
  20. 20
    Go to where the boulder was and grab the MO Disk from the shelf.
  21. 21
    Return to the alcove and open the door.
  22. 22
    In this room, push the statue to the right of the crank slot. Use the crank to push the statue to the middle.
  23. 23
    Retract the wall, push the statue to the right onto a plate to reveal the Doom Book 2. Pick it up and find the wolf medal inside.
  24. 24
    Leave the room. Go back to the door you entered from and take the south opening. Use the elevator to leave the area.
Tips
  • The Black Tiger Spider is very easy if you have Flame Rounds.
  • After defeating the Black Tiger Spider, re-entering the room clears out the baby spiders.
  • The web blocking the double doors can be destroyed with Flame Rounds or the Knife.
  • In the save room, drop all weapons and items except the Hexagonal Crank to maximize inventory space, as there are no enemies until the next item box.
  • The boulder puzzles require quick movement to avoid being crushed.
