Learn to juke zombies, master the dodge maneuver, and execute quick 180 turns in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Conserve ammo and health with expert tips!

Alright, let's dive into Part 14 of our Resident Evil 3: Nemesis journey! This section is all about getting slick with your movement – specifically, learning how to juke enemies and use the new dodge mechanic. Mastering these will seriously help you conserve health and ammo, especially in those early areas where zombies are everywhere. Think of it as practicing your dance moves with the undead!

Juking Enemies:

The opening areas of Raccoon City are perfect for practicing how to weave around those slow-moving zombies. The key is to keep a good distance and align yourself properly. If you run headfirst into a wall, even at a slight angle, you'll lose momentum, making you an easier target. So, pay attention to your positioning!

Dodge Maneuver & Quick 180° Turn:

This is a game-changer! The Dodge maneuver lets you avoid damage in tight spots. While facing an enemy that's about to attack, you can press R1 or R2 (or X if aiming) right before they strike. If timed perfectly, Jill will either push the enemy away or sidestep the attack. It’s also your best bet against Nemesis’s rocket launcher, but the timing is super tricky and takes practice. Be cautious when trying to dodge in a crowd, though; it's best for one-on-one situations.

And then there's the Quick 180° Turn (Down + Square simultaneously). This is arguably even more useful than the dodge! It lets you spin around instantly, which is invaluable for retreating quickly since you move faster forward than backward. This move is so good, it became a staple in later Resident Evil games.

Attacking:

Sometimes, you just gotta fight. When avoiding enemies isn't an option, attacking fast and smart is crucial. But remember, overkill is a waste of precious ammo. Always have an escape plan before you start shooting. Try to engage enemies from a distance unless you're using a shotgun. If a fight turns sour, don't be afraid to break off and reposition – avoiding damage is always the priority. If you're cornered, switch to heavier firepower to create an exit. You'll learn which enemies need the big guns and which you can handle with your handgun as you go.

Gunpowder Mixing:

RE3 introduces Gunpowder Mixing, letting you craft your own ammo. You'll find Gunpowder A and B scattered around. By combining them in specific ways, you can create other types of gunpowder (C, AA, AAA, BB, BBB, CCC, AC, BC, AAB, BBA) which you can then use with a Reloading Tool or Grenade Rounds to make ammo.

Keep in mind, there's a limited amount of A (19 or 21, depending on a choice) and B (17) per playthrough. So, mix wisely!

Ammo Recipes - Reloading Tool:

Once you have the right gunpowder, you can combine it with the Reloading Tool for ammo. Here are the recipes:

  • A + B = C
  • A + A = AA
  • B + B = BB
  • C + C = CC
  • A + C = AC
  • B + C = BC
  • AA + A = AAA
  • BB + B = BBB
  • CC + C = CCC
  • AA + B = AAB
  • BB + A = BBA
