Walkthrough

Mansion

Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go to the far door and proceed through it. You will encounter your first zombie; arm your weapon and shoot it. After a few shots, it will fall but not be dead. Aim down and blast it to make it stand up again, then shoot it more. This zombie is Kenneth's body, which serves as the first clue. Collect the clips and return to Barry. Barry will still be where you last spoke to him, 'examining' the blood.

A zombie will then burst in, and Barry will automatically deal with it. Now, proceed to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and instruct you on your next destination. Go through the blue doors. In this room, there are two movable objects: a desk and steps. Move the steps next to the statue to collect the map. Then, move the desk away from the door and enter. Inside, you'll find a zombie on the floor. You can shoot it on the floor or choose to boot its head off (Chris crushes its head). Collect the ribbon on the shelf and exit.

Now, go through the other door. As you walk down the corridor, a dog will burst through the window and head towards you. Stay calm and shoot it with timed shots; it takes 5-6 shots. Around the corner is another dog; deal with it the same way and exit through the door. The first door you see is a bathroom; ignore it unless you are Chris, in which case you should drain the water and find a cabinet key. Continue down the corridor until you find two doors. The door on your left leads to a room containing a shotgun. If you are Jill, enter and retrieve it; this will trigger a trap, but Barry will save you. If you are playing as Chris, do not enter this room yet, as you will be killed by the trap.

Going through the other door, you will encounter two more zombies. If you are Jill, you can practice headshots. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green plant, which can be used if you have been injured. Proceed through the next door to find a save room containing some ink ribbons and a chest with two clips inside. Save your game using the ribbon you found and then store it in the chest. Collect the ink ribbon and exit, then go up the stairs. To your left, there will be a zombie; quickly take it out, then deal with the one behind you. Now, go through the door at the end of the corridor.

Shoot the zombie and turn right into a small study. Examine the Botany book and then leave. Head along the corridor; you should see a pair of green doors, which you cannot enter yet. Continue down the corridor. After shooting another zombie, you will find two more doors. Go through the unlocked door, and you will be back in the Main Hall. Barry will meet you (Jill only) and give you some bazooka ammo. Now you must find the bazooka.

The bazooka is guarded by vicious crows in the door next to the one you just exited. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris will find two clips). Do not bother killing the crows, as they are difficult to defeat. Exit and go across the hall to the other door. You are now on the balcony above the Dining Room; there are two zombies. After killing them, push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. You will find two more zombies by some stairs; kill them, then go down the stairs. Two more zombies await you, so be prepared. Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs. Inside is a save room with a chest. (If you are Chris, you meet Rebecca for the first time; she will volunteer to help you. If you say 'Yes,' she will prepare medicine for you, which is helpful as Chris has a difficult time and she aids you later in the game. If you say 'No,' she will prepare medicine but will not assist you later.) Collect the ribbon on the bed (Chris receives a key) and save.

Remember this room, as it is important later in the game. Exit this room and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on your right contains a clip, shotgun shells, and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this to obtain the shotgun) but cannot be entered yet. Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room. In this room is a nasty plant that prevents you from reaching the key behind it. To kill it, place the ink ribbon in the pump, then collect the key behind it. Use the green plants if you have been injured. Now, return to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris must use the rusty shotgun to acquire the new shotgun). Now, go back through the doors and turn right.

Go through the door on your right, and you will find a bedroom. On the bed is a clip. Upon investigating the desk, a zombie will burst out of the cupboard and attempt to attack you.
