The Outbreak (J's Bar)
Your nightmare begins in J's Bar. This scenario serves as an introduction to the game's mechanics and the immediate threat of the zombie apocalypse.
- Starting Point: J's Bar, Main Area.
- Initial Objectives:
- Secure the Bar: Immediately after the cutscene, several zombies will enter the bar. Focus on eliminating them to create a safe zone. The Handgun is your primary weapon here.
- Find the Bar Key: Head to the back counter area. The Bar Key is usually found on the counter or near the cash register. This key unlocks the storage room.
- Storage Room Exploration:
- Use the Bar Key to open the Storage Room door (located behind the main counter).
- Items of Interest: Inside, you'll typically find a Green Herb, Handgun Ammo, and sometimes a Pipe or Wooden Pole (melee weapons are excellent for conserving ammo on single zombies).
- Important Note: Be wary of a potential zombie lurking in the storage room.
- Escaping the Bar:
- After securing the storage room, return to the main bar area. More zombies may have appeared.
- Your next goal is to exit J's Bar. The main exit is blocked. Look for an alternative exit, usually a back door leading to an alleyway.
- Alleyway Encounter: The alleyway often contains additional zombies and sometimes a First Aid Spray or more ammo.
- Reaching the Street:
- Navigate through the alleyway. You'll eventually reach the street.
- Key Item: Look for a Manhole Cover Opener or a similar tool. This is crucial for progressing. It can often be found near a dumpster or a parked car.
- Manhole Escape: Use the tool to open a nearby manhole, leading to the sewers. This is your escape route from the immediate area.
Below Freezing Point (Underground Lab)
This scenario plunges you into the chilling depths of an Umbrella research facility. Expect tougher enemies and environmental hazards.
- Starting Point: Underground Lab, Entrance Area.
- Initial Exploration:
- Move cautiously through the initial corridors. You'll encounter Lickers and possibly Hunters.
- Resource Gathering: Prioritize picking up any Shotgun Shells or Magnum Rounds you find. These weapons are invaluable against the tougher enemies here.
- Map Location: The Lab Map is usually found in the first security office or control room you encounter. Grab it immediately to aid navigation.
- Accessing the Main Lab:
- You'll need a Key Card to access the main research areas. This card is often located in a scientist's office or a break room.
- Puzzle Element: Be prepared for a simple puzzle, such as activating a power generator or inputting a code, to unlock certain doors.
- The Freezing Chamber:
- A significant part of this scenario involves the freezing chamber. You'll need to manipulate the temperature controls.
- Objective: Your goal is to either thaw something out or freeze a specific enemy. The exact objective varies slightly depending on the character and difficulty.
- Item: The Control Panel Key or Access Card B is often required to operate the chamber.
- Enemy Alert: Expect a boss encounter or a swarm of enemies once the chamber's process is complete.
- Escape Route:
- After dealing with the freezing chamber, you'll need to find a way out of the lab. This typically involves activating an emergency exit or finding a hidden passage.
- Final Boss: Prepare for a final confrontation with a mutated creature before you can truly escape. Ensure you have ample healing items and powerful weapons like the Grenade Launcher or Magnum.
The Hive (Raccoon General Hospital)
The hospital is a labyrinth of infected patients and grotesque experiments. Be ready for close-quarters combat and disturbing discoveries.
- Starting Point: Raccoon General Hospital, Main Lobby.
- Navigating the Hospital:
- The lobby is usually clear, but zombies will quickly appear.
- Key Item: Your first priority is often to find the Hospital Map, typically located at the reception desk or in a nearby security office.
- Patient Rooms: Explore patient rooms for Green Herbs, Blue Herbs (for poison), and occasional Handgun Ammo. Be cautious, as some patients are still alive and can turn.
- Basement and Morgue:
- The basement and morgue are critical areas. You'll need to find a Basement Key or Morgue Key, often found on a doctor's body or in an administrative office.
- Enemy Type: Expect to encounter Drain Deimos and other mutated creatures in these lower levels. The Shotgun is highly effective here.
- Puzzle: There's often a puzzle involving a specific blood type or a medical record to open a locked door.
- The Operating Room and Research Wing:
- Accessing these areas usually requires a Doctor's ID Card or a Security Pass.
- Key Item: Look for a V-Poison Antidote or a similar cure component. This is central to the scenario's objective.
- Boss Encounter: A large, mutated creature often guards the critical items or the exit in these areas. Utilize explosive items like Grenades if you have them.
- Escaping the Hospital:
- The escape route often involves activating a specific mechanism or finding a hidden exit in the hospital's upper floors or a service tunnel.
- Final Push: Expect a final wave of enemies as you make your escape. Conserve your strongest weapons for this moment.
