Learn how to beat Resident Evil 0 as fast as possible! This guide focuses on essential items, enemy engagement, and efficient movement to shave off precious minutes from your playthrough.

Alright, so you wanna blast through Resident Evil 0 like a pro, huh? This speed walkthrough is gonna be your shortcut. Forget the slow crawl; we're talking about pure efficiency here. It's all about knowing the game inside and out, making smart item choices, and knowing when to fight and when to just run past everything.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Preparation is Key: First off, make sure you've unlocked the Magnum Revolver and infinite ammo from Leech Hunter. Seriously, this makes a massive difference. Also, embrace the 'cheat to win' mentality – this is a speedrun, after all!
  2. 2
    Movement is Everything: Always be running. Walking is a time-waster. Only visit rooms that are absolutely essential for progression. If I don't mention a room, don't go in it – it's probably a waste of time.
  3. 3
    Item Management: You'll be relying on the Grenade Launcher with both flame and regular rounds, plus your two Magnums. How you manage your inventory and ammo is up to you, but make sure you're stocked for key encounters. Don't waste ammo on enemies you can just run past.
  4. 4
    Combat Efficiency: The less you fight, the faster you'll be. If an enemy can be avoided, avoid it. Even if the guide says to kill something, it might not be strictly necessary for progression – use your judgment. Less combat means less time spent.
  5. 5
    Health and Herbs: Try not to get injured. The less you use herbs, the faster you'll be. Don't waste a green herb on its own; save them for when you really need them or plan to mix them.
  6. 6
    Key Items: Dump the closet key as soon as you can. Unless you're planning to change outfits (which takes time), it's just dead weight.
  7. 7
    Cutscenes: Skip every single cutscene. They're not part of the speedrun.
  8. 8
    Practice Makes Perfect: This isn't a beginner's guide. You need a great knowledge of the game and common sense. The more you play, the better you'll get at executing the fastest routes and decisions.
Tips
  • Always be running. Seriously, don't walk.
  • Skip every optional room and enemy engagement you can.
  • Master your inventory – know what you need and when.
  • Practice the routes and enemy patterns to minimize mistakes.
  • Infinite ammo from Leech Hunter is highly recommended.
  • Skip all cutscenes.
  • Don't waste time on unnecessary combat.
