Learn how to defeat Nemesis in the Foundry by luring him under crucibles and pouring lava on him. Includes tips for handling zombies and ammo.

Alright, it's time for Nemesis to make one more cameo appearance to please the RE3 fans! To beat him in the Foundry, you'll need to lure him under special crucibles that will pour lava down on him. Make sure to activate each crucible before leading Nemesis into position.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Activate the First Crucible: You'll start in a control room. Head to the controls near the window and activate the first crucible.
  2. 2
    Lure Nemesis: Exit the control room via the right door, slide down the ladder, and find Nemesis below. He'll usually be near the first crucible. Walk towards him until he approaches you.
  3. 3
    Stun and Burn: Once Nemesis is directly under the crucible, blast him in the head to stun him. Lava will then pour down.
  4. 4
    First Crucible Tips:
    1. Warning: Standing under the crucibles when the loud buzzing noise indicates the lava is about to drop will instantly kill you. Be ready to move!
  5. 5
    Nemesis Movement: Nemesis needs to be damaged a bit before he'll move under a crucible. Keep shooting him if he's hesitant, but wait until he's under the crucible before firing to stun him.
  6. 6
    Objective Lock: You can't activate the next crucible until the objective for the current one is complete.
  • Activate the Second Crucible: Find the control levers on the middle section of the top catwalks and activate the second crucible. It's located a little to the right of the first one (when facing it).
  • Lure and Stun Again: Lead Nemesis towards the second crucible, stun him with gunfire when he's underneath, and let the lava pour.
  • Activate the Third Crucible: Zombies will start attacking more frequently now, making things tougher. Head to the back of the Foundry on the top catwalks to find the controls for the third crucible. The staircase to them is near two Antiviral Sprays and one First Aid Spray. Activate the third crucible.
  • Final Lure and Stun: The third crucible is in the back of the Foundry, near some explosive barrels. There's an ammo crate up the stairs to the right of this crucible, so stock up. Go all out on Nemesis to stun him under this final crucible, then let the lava finish him off to trigger a cutscene and end the mission.
