Y-Shaped Hall (3)

Navigate the Y-Shaped Hall (3) in Resident Evil Code: Veronica X. Learn about enemy placements, item locations, and puzzle solutions to progress through Rockfort Island.

Alright, let's tackle this next section. You'll find yourself in what's called the Y-Shaped Hall. It's a bit of a maze, so pay attention!

Enemies and Initial Obstacles

As soon as you enter, you'll notice 3 zombies. Two of them are behind a fence and can't be reached just yet, so don't waste your ammo on them. The third one is fair game. There's a shutter nearby with a button, but it's locked for now. You'll need to find a way to release that lock first. The door at the end of this passage leads to the workroom, but you can't access it until you deal with the shutter.

After Releasing the Shutter Lock

Once you've managed to release the lock for the outdoor shutter (you'll do this from the surveillance room, remember?), things change here. The initial 3 zombies will be gone. When you hit the switch to raise the shutter, get ready! Two more zombies will pop out from behind it, and the two that were behind the fence will break through. It's a bit of a surprise attack, so be prepared to fight.

Inside the storage area behind the now-open shutter, you'll find an explosive barrel. Definitely use that to your advantage against the new arrivals! You'll also find the Extinguisher in the back of this storage area. Make sure you grab it.

With the shutter open, you can now enter the fenced area. Head over to the guillotine – you'll find the Padlock Key there. Snag it and you'll be able to progress further.

Key Items and Interactions

• Padlock Key: Found on the guillotine after the shutter is opened.
• Extinguisher: Found in the back of the storage area behind the shutter.
• Explosive Barrel: Located in the storage area, useful for clearing out enemies.

Examines

Here's what you can examine in this area:

• Northern door: "It's completely nailed down. It's impossible to open it."
• Dumpster: "Apparently, a dust box."
• Shutter switch (locked): "This switch controls the outdoor shutters. Push the switch? (Y/N) It appears to be locked. I must release the lock first."
• Outdoor shutter: "The outdoor shutter is locked. I must release the lock."
• Shutter switch (unlocked): "This switch controls the outdoor shutters. Push the switch? (Y/N)"
• Shutter switch (opened shutter): "The outdoor shutter is already open."
• Bloody wall: "Something seems to have been tied up here... Fresh blood is stuck to the wall... A person might have been tied to the pillar..."
• Guillotine: "A guillotine, covered in blood. It seems that there is some fresh blood on it."
• Secret entrance: "There is an indentation on the indigo blue plate."

Keep your wits about you in this area, and you'll be through it in no time!
