Resident Evil 3 (Remake) tips on time management, health, zombies, and trophies. Learn how to combine herbs and manage your inventory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Shoot crates taped with yellow tape for Handgun Ammo, Assault Rifle Ammo, or Green / Red Herbs.
  2. 2
    Utilize environmental hazards: explosive barrels for area damage and electrical generators to stun enemies.
  3. 3
    Be cautious of zombies that may be pretending to be dead; shoot them again with your handgun to confirm they are deceased.
  4. 4
    The knife is not a useful secondary weapon; store it in the Item Box to free up inventory space.
  5. 5
    Always jog to save time, as you move faster at full health.
  6. 6
    Heal when necessary, as your movement speed decreases when injured.
  7. 7
    The in-game clock stops during cutscenes (non-interactive story sequences) and radio conversations, but you can still move during these times.
  8. 8
    If you die, reload from the main menu instead of continuing to avoid the clock not resetting.
  9. 9
    Health is color-coded: green (above 67%), amber (30%-67%), and red (30% or below).
  10. 10
    A single Green Herb restores 33% of your health.
  11. 11
    Combine herbs for better healing: G+R fully restores health, as does G+G+G.
  12. 12
    You switch control between Jill and Carlos four times; each character starts with full health upon regaining control.
  13. 13
    You can ignore low health when Carlos reaches the S.T.A.R.S. Office, after Jill fights Stage 2 Nemesis, and when Carlos survives the hospital siege.
  14. 14
    For trophies, play on Assisted difficulty first to unlock collectible trophies (Bookworm, Goodbye, Charlie!, RE: Master of Unlocking, Kendo's Armory) and item management trophies (Minimalist, I Might Need These Later!).
  15. 15
    Not using healing items (I Might Need These Later!) helps with inventory management when you cannot use the Item Box (Minimalist).
  16. 16
    Completing collectible and item management trophies makes the Sprinter trophy easier.
  17. 17
    The Sensational Work! trophy (S-rank) limits you to five manual saves, but generous checkpointing (automatic save points) on difficulties below Inferno allow for fewer manual saves.
  18. 18
    Assisted/Standard difficulty walkthroughs suggest manual saves for kill farming to prepare for harder difficulties.
  19. 19
    To earn the Platinum trophy, you must complete playthroughs on Hardcore, Nightmare, and Inferno difficulties.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) (a small map usually in the corner of the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) - Heads-Up Display) for crates and environmental hazards.
  • When unsure if a zombie is dead, switch to your handgun and shoot it again.
  • Store the knife in your Item Box to save inventory space.
  • Always jog to conserve time.
  • Combine Green and Red Herbs (G+R) or three Green Herbs (G+G+G) to fully restore your health.
  • Utilize character switch points to manage health without using healing items.
  • Consider playing on Assisted difficulty first for easier trophy acquisition.
  • The game offers generous checkpointing on difficulties below Inferno, reducing the need for manual saves.
