Guide your way through Resident Evil's mansion after Plant 42. Learn where to find the Helmet Key, manage items, and prepare for Lisa's pursuit.
Alright, you've dealt with that big plant boss! Now, head down those stairs and snag the HELMET KEY from the fireplace. Once you've got it, backtrack through the double doors to the GALLERY.
In the GALLERY, you'll see a cut-scene with Rebecca. If you took a beating during the PLANT 42 fight, this is your spot to heal up. After that, make your way to GUARDHOUSE HALLWAY 2.
Head back towards the GUARDHOUSE HALLWAY. You'll spot Wesker here briefly before he takes off. After he's gone, return to the GUARDHOUSE HALLWAY.
From here, run back to the GUARDHOUSE SAVE ROOM. It's time to sort out your inventory. Make sure you have:
- HANDGUN
- HANDGUN MAGAZINE
- MAGNUM
- MAGNUM ROUNDS
- HELMET KEY
This next part can be a bit tricky, so double-check you have your HELMET KEY. Save your game now, and make sure the MAGNUM is equipped – you'll want its power.
Exit the save room and head outside. From the GUARDHOUSE ENTRANCE, run back down towards the GUARDHOUSE GARDEN.
In the GUARDHOUSE GARDEN, hop on the lift and ride it down to the POND ROOM.
Once in the POND ROOM, you'll need to run across the pond. Watch out for snakes – they're annoying but pretty easy to dodge if you keep moving. After crossing, head back to the GARDEN.
From the GARDEN, make your way to the SHED.
Wesker has left some goodies in the SHED, so grab everything you can, especially the SHOTGUN SHELLS, because a new monster is about to show up. If your inventory is full and you can't grab all the items, head back to Lisa's COTTAGE and use the item box there to sort things out. Once you're ready, head into the EXIT HALL.
Phew! Between Lisa chasing you, those plants, and whatever else this mansion throws at us, it's a miracle we're still standing. We're heading back into the mansion to find more clues, maybe even figure out how to get past that waterfall near the GUARDHOUSE. The journey back isn't too long, but how quickly you get there can affect which ending you see!
