Get to the RPD (Claire)

After the initial cutscenes, run towards the door and push it open to trigger the next cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically). You will automatically pick up a torch.

Turn left, run to the end of the aisle and go through the door past the injured police officer.

Make your way to the end of the next passage and go through the slightly ajar door for another cutscene.

You will be thrown into your first battle. Stagger or drop your foe.

Go past the defeated zombie and down the aisle where he was standing to find a key hanging on a board.

Take the key and go back down the aisle.

Take a left down the other aisle where you'll come to a locked door. Use the key you just picked up to open it.

In the next room, your goal is the door to your left as you enter.

Run down the aisle immediately to your right, turn left at the end and run down the next aisle.

As you approach the door, you will trigger another cutscene where you meet Leon and make your escape.

When the opening credits and next cutscene are done, turn around and run to the right of the female zombie facing away from you.

Make your way around the burning cars and a little further ahead, you will see an alley to your left.

Run down it and follow it to the end.

Pick your way through the path formed by the stationary cars.

Open the gates for another short cutscene and go through the doors in front of you.
