Learn what happens in the Lab in Resident Evil (1996) if Rebecca is dead, including obtaining the Master Key and escaping.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon reaching the lab and speaking with Wesker, he will be killed by the Tyrant.
  2. 2
    Wesker will drop the Master Key after being killed by the Tyrant.
  3. 3
    The Master Key is required to escape the lab, as it unlocks the door leading to the escape elevator.
  4. 4
    If you have used all 3 MO Disks earlier, you can use the Master Key to rescue Jill from her prison cell.
  5. 5
    Since Rebecca is dead, the triggering system is never activated, and the mansion does not get blown up.
  6. 6
    If Rebecca dies, you do not have to fight the Tyrant to end the game; the game concludes after Chris shoots a flare into the sky.
Tips
  • Ensure Rebecca is dead before proceeding to the lab to trigger these specific events.
  • The Master Key is essential for progression and a potential side objective (rescuing Jill).
  • The absence of Rebecca prevents the mansion's destruction and a final boss fight against the Tyrant.
