Prison Chamber

Learn how to survive the terrifying Prison Chamber in Resident Evil Code: Veronica X. This guide covers escaping Steve and managing your inventory for this impossible boss encounter.

Alright, you've made it to the Prison Chamber. Up ahead, you'll see a gate with a security card reader. Make sure you've got that SECURITY CARD ready to go – swap it out, and the gate will rise. Now, you'll want to run past all those creepy knight statues. Keep going all the way to the end of the room. You'll trigger another cutscene with Steve there. After that, it's time for a fight... or rather, a frantic escape!

Boss 6: Steve

Difficulty: Impossible

Okay, listen up. Steve is absolutely NOT meant to be fought. Seriously, no matter what weapon you've got, he's just too powerful, too fast, and that giant axe is no joke. Don't even waste your ammo trying to fight him; the game's not designed for it. If you want to fight Steve, you'll have to play The Darkside Chronicles instead.

Your only option here is to run. Have Claire turn tail and head back the way you came. Steve will hit you, probably more than once, with that axe. After each hit, you'll need to dive into your item box and use a full-powered healing item. Then, just keep running until you get back through that gate you just opened.

Warning: If you didn't bring at least two healing items, or if you've used them all up already, you're probably out of luck. Your best bet is to restart from an earlier save and be way more careful with your inventory management. It *might* be possible to escape without healing if you've got a heavy weapon like the GRENADE LAUNCHER that can push Steve back quickly, giving you just enough time to turn around and bolt. But honestly, just make sure you have healing items.
