Follow this detailed walkthrough for Resident Evil, guiding you through the mansion's initial areas, zombie encounters, and item discoveries. Essential for new and returning players.
Walkthrough
- 1After speaking to Barry, go through the far door and defeat the first zombie (Kenneth's body). Collect ammo and return to Barry.
- 2A zombie will burst in; Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall.
- 3Barry gives you a lock pick. Go through the blue doors.
- 4In the next room, move the steps next to the statue to get the map. Move the desk to reveal a door.
- 5Inside, defeat the zombie on the floor, collect the ribbon, and exit.
- 6Go through the other door. Defeat the dog that bursts through the window (approx. 5-6 shots).
- 7Defeat the next dog around the corner and proceed.
- 8Ignore the first door (bathroom) unless you are Chris and need the cabinet key.
- 9In the corridor, you'll find two doors. The left door contains the shotgun (for Jill; Barry saves her from a trap). Chris should avoid this room for now.
- 10Through the other door, defeat two zombies.
- 11Go through the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant (use if injured), and enter the save room.
- 12Save your game, store items, collect the Earth, and exit.
- 13Go upstairs. Defeat the zombie to your left and the one behind you.
- 14Enter the door at the end of the corridor. Defeat the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
- 15Continue down the corridor, past the green doors (inaccessible yet). Defeat another zombie.
- 16Enter the unlocked door, returning to the Main Hall.
- 17(Jill only) Barry meets you and gives you bazooka ammo.
- 18Go to the door next to the one you just exited. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds ammo). Do not kill the crows.
- 19Exit and go across the hall to the other door.
- 20You are now on the balcony above the Dining Room. Defeat the two zombies.
- 21Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door.
- 22Defeat the two zombies by the stairs and go down.
- 23Defeat the two zombies at the bottom of the stairs and go through the door.
- 24(Chris only) Meet Rebecca. If you accept her help ('Yes'), she prepares medicine and assists later. If you decline ('No'), she still prepares medicine but offers less assistance.
- 25Collect the ribbon (Chris gets a key) and save.
- 26Exit and proceed down the corridor, defeating another zombie.
- 27The door on your right contains items (ammo, rusty shotgun for Chris) but is inaccessible yet.
- 28Go through the other door, defeat the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room.
- 29In the plant room, use the Earth on the pump to kill the plant and collect the key behind it. Use green plants if injured.
- 30Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun).
- 31Go back through the doors and turn right.
- 32Enter the bedroom on your right. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will burst from the cupboard when you investigate the desk.
