Episode 6: Cat and Mouse

This episode sees Jill Valentine navigating the treacherous bowels of the Queen Zenobia, a true test of stealth and combat prowess. Prepare for close-quarters encounters and strategic item management.

Part 1: The Flooded Corridors

You begin in a flooded corridor. Your primary objective is to reach the Communications Room. Be wary of the Ooze lurking in the water.

  • Initial Movement: Proceed forward through the water. The Ooze here are slow but can grab you if you get too close. Conserve your ammo by avoiding direct confrontation if possible.
  • First Encounter: As you round the first corner, you'll likely encounter a few Ooze. A well-placed shotgun blast to the head or legs can dispatch them quickly.
  • Item Scavenging:
    • On your left, just before the first set of stairs, you'll find a Green Herb.
    • Check the small alcoves and submerged crates for additional Handgun Ammo or Shotgun Shells.
  • Reaching the Upper Level: Climb the stairs at the end of the corridor. This leads to a drier section.

Part 2: The Communications Room

The Communications Room is your next destination. Expect more resistance as you get closer.

  • Corridor Ambush: As you enter the next dry corridor, be prepared for an Ooze ambush from the side vents. A quick burst from your machine gun can suppress them.
  • Communications Room Entrance: The door to the Communications Room is locked. You'll need to find a keycard.
  • Keycard Location:
    • Head to the small office adjacent to the Communications Room.
    • Inside, on a desk, you'll find the Communications Room Keycard.
    • Also in this office, you can pick up some Machine Gun Ammo and a Shock Grenade.
  • Unlocking the Door: Use the keycard to open the Communications Room door.

Part 3: Activating the Communications Array

Inside the Communications Room, your goal is to activate the communications array. This won't be a simple task.

  • Initial Scan: Use your Genesis Scanner to locate any hidden items. There's often some Handgun Ammo or a Custom Part tucked away in a corner.
  • Activating the Console: Interact with the main console in the center of the room. This will trigger a sequence of events.
  • Ooze Influx: Once you attempt to activate the console, the room will be flooded with Ooze. These include standard Ooze and potentially some Pincer Ooze.
  • Combat Strategy:
    • Prioritize the Pincer Ooze, as their ranged attacks can be debilitating. Use your shotgun or rifle for quick takedowns.
    • use the environment. The room has several choke points and cover opportunities.
    • Consider using a Shock Grenade to stun multiple enemies, giving you time to reload or reposition.
    • Keep moving to avoid being surrounded.
  • Second Console Interaction: After clearing the initial wave, return to the console and attempt to activate it again. This will trigger another, potentially larger, wave of Ooze.
  • Final Activation: Once the second wave is defeated, you can successfully activate the communications array, concluding this section of the episode.

Part 4: Escape and Pursuit

With communications restored, you need to make your way to the next objective. Expect a chase sequence.

  • Exiting the Communications Room: As you leave, you'll notice the ship's layout has changed slightly, with new paths opening up and old ones potentially blocked.
  • New Enemy Type: Be prepared for the introduction of the Scagdead. This formidable enemy is heavily armored and deals significant damage.
  • Scagdead Encounter:
    • The Scagdead will appear in the main corridor outside the Communications Room.
    • Strategy: Aim for the exposed head (the mouth-like appendage) for critical damage. Use your most powerful weapons, such as the rifle or magnum, if you have one.
    • Keep your distance and use dodge maneuvers to avoid its powerful melee attacks and projectile vomit.
    • If you have any Explosive Grenades, now is a good time to use them.
  • Reaching the Elevator: Your goal is to reach the elevator at the far end of the corridor. The Scagdead will relentlessly pursue you.
  • Elevator Activation: Once you reach the elevator, interact with the panel to call it. You'll need to survive until it arrives.
  • Final Stand: Continue to evade and attack the Scagdead until the elevator doors open. Quickly enter to escape and complete Episode 6.
