Locate the crucial Ammo Box across from the broken brick wall leading to the park in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Get tips for the Nicholai boss fight!

Hey there! So, you're looking for that ammo box near the park entrance? Let's get you pointed in the right direction. It's pretty straightforward once you know where to look.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head into the park, and keep your eyes peeled to the left. You'll see a crashed helicopter and, right near it, a destroyed brick wall. The ammo box is just ahead from there, directly into the park.
  2. 2
    As you move through the park, watch out for those speedy Crimson Head zombies. They love to pop out and charge, so be ready to dodge or keep moving. Honestly, it's usually best to just keep pushing forward rather than getting bogged down fighting them, as more will keep coming.
  3. 3
    Keep moving across the park, and you'll eventually find the second EMP charge. The source mentions it can pop up in a random spot, but it's often near the gate leading to the Clock Tower courtyard. Grab it quickly!

After you grab that EMP charge, you'll need to head through the gate into the Clock Tower Courtyard. Get ready, because Nicholai is waiting for you there, and it's your first real boss fight!

Boss: Nicholai

Nicholai is hanging out on the top floor of the Clock Tower. He'll be moving between the four windows up there, sniping at you. Your best bet is to use the rock wall railings in the courtyard for cover. Just be aware that he likes to toss frag grenades, so you'll have to move out of cover to avoid those sometimes.

Tips for Fighting Nicholai
  • Long Range is Key: Nicholai can be tough to hit because he moves around. Try to use weapons with good range, like the semi-auto rifle found in the weapon crates in the courtyard. Handguns and machine guns can work too.
  • Grenade Strategy: You can actually move up close to the Clock Tower building, right under Nicholai, and toss frag grenades up through his window. The grenades near the weapon crates respawn, so don't worry about running out. Just be careful, as he can still hit you with grenades if you stay too close to the Clock Tower walls.
  • The Under-Window Attack: Another solid tactic is to stand right under his window and shoot up at him with a handgun or rifle. Wait for him to pop up, then unload. You can usually dodge his grenades and gunfire by moving forward.
  • Zombie Shield: If things get hairy, you can grab a zombie and use it as a shield to block Nicholai's shots while you get some hits in.
  • Teamwork (Co-op): If you're playing with a friend, one person can snipe Nicholai from a distance while the other focuses on tossing grenades or shooting from below. This is super effective!
  • Healing and Ammo: Don't forget to grab the green herbs scattered around the courtyard if you need to heal. There's also an ammo crate, so keep that replenished, and grab more grenades whenever you can.
  • Watch for the Bells: Nicholai's health is tied to the clock tower bell ringing. It'll ring twice during the fight, and each time, more zombies will attack. After the second bell, he's pretty much done for.

Once you finally take down Nicholai, Command will contact you again, telling you that finding the last EMP charge is the priority. That'll wrap up this section!
