Part 17

Learn how to get all seven special item drops from Nemesis in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis by defeating him at each of his non-boss encounters. Full item order included.

Hey there! So, you're wondering about those special item drops Nemesis coughs up, right? It can be a bit confusing, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you know the deal. Basically, Nemesis drops seven special item cases throughout the game, and you get a different item from each one in a set order. You've gotta defeat him at each of his seven non-boss encounters to snag all of them.

Item Drop Order:

1. EAGLE Parts A
2. EAGLE Parts B
3. First Aid Box
4. M37 Parts A
5. M37 Parts B
6. First Aid Box
7. Assault Rifle (1st playthrough) / Infinite Bullets (2nd+ playthrough)

Don't worry about where you are in the campaign when you fight him; the item you get from a case is always based on which number case it is in this sequence. So, if you want all those sweet upgrades and goodies, you'll need to take him down every single time he shows up outside of the main boss fights.

Oh, and a pro-tip: those item cases stick around even if you leave the room and come back. So, if your inventory is stuffed, don't stress! You can leave them be for a bit and grab them later when you've got more space. Just make sure you remember where you left them!

This section also touches on the game's story and characters, giving you a rundown of who's who, especially Jill Valentine. It explains her background from the original Resident Evil, her role in the Spencer Mansion incident, and how she ended up investigating Umbrella's shady dealings in Raccoon City. It also mentions how RE3 happens around the same time as RE2, but Jill's story is separate from Leon and Claire's, though their actions do affect hers.
