  • The save room before the first power room is a good place to consolidate items and prepare for the encounters ahead.
  • Be ready for the Chimeras in the power rooms.
  • Pass-codes for locked doors and systems.
  • Lab Key.
  • Activation of power for the elevator.
  • Encounter with Wesker and the Tyrant.
