Detailed walkthrough for Resident Evil, covering the Mansion section. Learn how to defeat zombies, find key items like the shotgun and map, and progress through the early stages of the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After speaking with Barry, head through the far door. Engage and kill the first zombie (Kenneth's body). Collect ammo and return to Barry.
  2. 2
    A zombie will burst in; Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall. Barry gives you a lock pick. Go through the blue doors.
  3. 3
    In the next room, move the steps to collect the map. Move the desk to reveal a door. Enter, kill the zombie, collect the ink ribbon, and exit.
  4. 4
    Go through the other door. Shoot the dog that bursts through the window (5-6 shots).
  5. 5
    Around the corner, kill another dog. Ignore the bathroom (unless Chris, then drain water for cabinet key).
  6. 6
    Continue down the corridor to two doors. The left door contains the shotgun (Jill only; triggers a trap Barry saves you from). The right door leads further.
  7. 7
    Through the right door, kill two zombies. Go through the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant, and enter the save room.
  8. 8
    Save your game, deposit items, collect the 'Earth' (likely a key item), and exit. Go upstairs.
  9. 9
    Kill the zombie to your left and the one behind you. Enter the door at the end of the corridor.
  10. 10
    Shoot the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
  11. 11
    Continue down the corridor, past the green doors you can't enter yet. Kill another zombie.
  12. 12
    Enter the unlocked door, returning to the Main Hall. Barry (Jill only) gives you bazooka ammo.
  13. 13
    Find the bazooka in the room next to the one you just exited, guarded by crows. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris gets ammo). Don't kill the crows.
  14. 14
    Exit and go across the hall to the other door, leading to the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies.
  15. 15
    Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill the two zombies by the stairs and go down.
  16. 16
    Kill the two zombies at the bottom of the stairs and go through the door. This is a save room. (Chris meets Rebecca here; choosing 'Yes' for her help is beneficial). Collect the ink ribbon (Chris gets a key) and save.
  17. 17
    Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on the right contains items and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this).
  18. 18
    Go through the other door, shoot zombies, and head towards the plant room.
  19. 19
    In the plant room, use the 'Earth' on the pump to kill the plant and collect the key. Use green plants if injured.
  20. 20
    Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the regular shotgun).
  21. 21
    Go back through the doors and turn right. Enter the bedroom on the right. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will burst from the cupboard when you investigate the desk.
Tips
  • Aim for the head to conserve ammo and efficiently kill zombies.
  • Use the environment to your advantage, like pushing statues.
  • Manage your inventory carefully, especially ink ribbons and healing items.
  • If playing as Jill, the shotgun is a significant upgrade.
  • Chris's path may differ slightly, requiring the rusty shotgun to obtain the regular one.
  • Rebecca's assistance as Chris can be crucial later in the game.
