Walkthrough - Final Nemesis Battle

This is it, Jill. The final confrontation with Nemesis. This battle takes place in the Disposal Room, a confined area that demands precision and quick thinking. Prepare for a multi-stage fight where strategic use of the environment is key.

Recommended Inventory

  • Magnum: Your primary damage dealer. Load it up with all available Magnum Rounds.
  • Grenade Launcher (Flame Rounds): Excellent for consistent damage and staggering Nemesis. Acid Rounds are also effective if you're out of Flame.
  • First Aid Sprays/Mixed Herbs: Bring at least 3-4 healing items. Nemesis hits hard.
  • Empty Inventory Slots: You'll need space for a crucial item during the fight.

Phase 1: Activating the Rail Cannon

  1. Initial Positioning: As the battle begins, Nemesis will be in his final, grotesque form, attached to the central column. He's initially immobile.
  2. Locate the Rail Cannon: Your objective is to activate the massive Rail Cannon on the far side of the room. There are three power conduits that need to be pushed into place.
  3. Pushing the Conduits:
    • There are two conduits on the ground level, one on each side of the room. Approach them and press the action button to push them into their slots.
    • The third conduit is on a raised platform. You'll need to climb the ladder on either side of the room to reach this platform, then push the conduit.
  4. Nemesis's Attacks: During this phase, Nemesis will primarily use a long-range tentacle attack and occasionally spit acid. Keep moving to avoid these. If you're hit by the tentacle, quickly mash buttons to break free.
  5. Damage Nemesis (Optional but Recommended): While pushing the conduits, you can fire off some Magnum or Grenade Launcher rounds at Nemesis's exposed core (the pulsating orange mass). This will soften him up for later.

Phase 2: Powering the Cannon

  1. After all three conduits are in place, a short cutscene will play, showing the Rail Cannon powering up.
  2. Nemesis's Aggression: Nemesis will become more aggressive now, frequently using his tentacle sweep and acid attacks. Stay mobile and keep your distance.
  3. Wait for the Charge: The Rail Cannon needs time to charge. You'll see a gauge filling up on the cannon itself. During this time, focus on dodging Nemesis's attacks.
  4. Continue Damaging (Optional): If you have surplus ammo, continue to chip away at Nemesis's core. Every bit of damage helps.

Phase 3: Firing the Rail Cannon

  1. Cannon Ready: Once the Rail Cannon is fully charged, a prompt will appear near the cannon's control panel.
  2. Activate the Cannon: Run to the control panel and activate the Rail Cannon. A cutscene will trigger, showing the cannon firing a devastating blast at Nemesis.
  3. Nemesis Down, Not Out: Nemesis will be severely damaged and fall to the ground, but he's not defeated yet.

Phase 4: The Final Blow

  1. Nemesis's Weak Point: Nemesis will now be writhing on the ground. His core will be fully exposed and vulnerable.
  2. Retrieve the Override Key: This is crucial! Look on the ground near Nemesis. You'll find the Override Key. Pick it up immediately.
  3. Insert the Key: Run back to the Rail Cannon control panel. Use the Override Key on the panel. This will allow you to fire the cannon again without waiting for a recharge.
  4. Fire Again: Activate the Rail Cannon one last time. This final blast will disintegrate Nemesis, ending his reign of terror.

Congratulations, Jill! You've survived Raccoon City and defeated the ultimate bioweapon. Enjoy the ending!
