Welcome to the guide for Resident Evil 0! This walkthrough is by Thanos rulzs and is an unofficial guide, not associated with Brady, Prima, or Capcom.

Strange murders are happening in Raccoon City, and reports of flesh-eating monsters attacking homes lead to the S.T.A.R.S. team being dispatched to the forest. The Bravo team arrives first, but their helicopter malfunctions, marking the beginning of a nightmare. Resident Evil 0 is a single-player game packed with action, strategy, and puzzles that you'll need to solve to progress. It's a fantastic game from Capcom, the creators of Street Fighter and Mega Man. The author is still learning the ropes of FAQ writing, so constructive criticism is welcome.

Understand all health conditions in Resident Evil 0, from Fine green to Danger Red, and learn how to cure them with herbs.

Injury Conditions:

  • Fine green: Your character is not injured.
  • Caution Yellow: An injury state that normally can be ignored. A green herb can cure this.
  • Caution Orange: Take note of this injury, as one more hit will put you in the Danger Red state. Two herbs or a mixture of green and red herbs can cure this.
  • Danger Red: Take note of this injury, as one more damaging hit will result in death. Triple green herbs or a mixture of green and red herbs can cure this.
  • Poison purple: When your character is poisoned, heal with a blue herb immediately. The longer poison persists, the more serious the injury will become, potentially leading to a Danger state after you cure the poison.
