Elevator Lobby

Your AntMag guide to the Elevator Lobby in Resident Evil. Learn about enemy placements, item locations, and environmental details for both the 1996 original and the 2002 Remake.

Alright, let's talk about the 2F Elevator Room in the Spencer Mansion. This is a key spot you'll be passing through quite a bit, especially since it's your access point to the second floor via the elevator. It looks a little different depending on which version of Resident Evil you're playing, so we'll cover both. ## 1996 Original When you first get here, keep an eye out on the left side of the elevator – there are two green herbs waiting for you. Now, depending on who you're playing as, you'll have a different welcome party. If you're Chris, brace yourself for three zombies. If you're Jill, you'll only have to deal with two. Just a little heads-up to manage your expectations! ## 2002 Remake Things are a bit more visually interesting here. The corridor is lit by flaming torches, and there's a small carpet right in front of the elevator. You'll also spot a goddess statue against the wall, facing the western corridor door. There's an Asian-style scroll on the wall, which is a bit of a quirky detail since the picture itself is Western-style. As for enemies, you'll face two zombies in this area. A heads-up: the doorknob to the Large Library is broken in this version, so you can't go that way from here. You can find a red herb and two green herbs in this room, so make sure to grab them. ### Examines Here's what you can examine in the 2002 Remake: * Statue: It's described as a damaged statue of a goddess. * The door to the Mirror corridor: You'll find that you've unlocked it. * The door to the Large Library: The knob is broken, so it won't open. * Scroll on the wall: It's an Asian-style hanging scroll, but the picture on it is Western-style. That's pretty much it for the Elevator Lobby. It's a straightforward area, but always good to know what to expect!
