Walkthrough

Mansion

Your first objective is to find some clues. After speaking to Barry, go to the far door and proceed through it. You will encounter your first zombie; arm your weapon and shoot it. After a few shots, it will fall but not die. Aim down and shoot it again to make it stand up, then continue shooting. This zombie is Kenneth's body, serving as the first clue. Collect the clips and return to Barry, who will still be examining the blood.

A zombie will burst in, and Barry will automatically deal with it. Now, proceed to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick and direct you. Go through the blue doors. In this room, you'll find two movable objects: a desk and steps. Move the steps next to the statue to collect the map. Then, move the desk away from the door and enter. Inside, a zombie is on the floor. You can shoot it or boot its head off (Chris crushes its head). Collect the ribbon on the shelf and exit.

Go through the other door. As you walk down the corridor, a dog will burst through the window. Shoot it with timed shots; it takes 5-6 shots. Around the corner is another dog; repeat the process. Exit through the door. The first door you see is a bathroom; ignore it unless you are Chris, in which case you should drain the water and find a cabinet key. Continue down the corridor to two doors. The left door leads to a room with a shotgun. If you are Jill, enter and get it; a trap will trigger, but Barry will save you. If you are Chris, do not enter this room yet, as the trap will kill you.

Through the other door, you will encounter two more zombies. If you are Jill, practice headshots. Go through the Grey Door and kill the zombie by the stairs. Collect the green plant and use it if you are injured. Through the next door, you'll find a save room with some Earth and a chest containing 2 clips. Save your game using the ribbon you found and place it in the chest. Collect the Earth and exit, then go up the stairs. To your left is a zombie; take it out quickly, then deal with the one behind you. Proceed through the door at the end of the corridor.

Shoot the zombie and turn right into a small study. Examine the Botany book and leave. Head along the corridor; you'll see a pair of green doors you cannot enter yet. Continue down the corridor. After shooting another zombie, you'll find two more doors. Enter the unlocked one to return to the Main Hall. Barry will meet you (Jill only) and give you bazooka ammo. Now you must find the bazooka, guarded by crows in the door next to the one you just exited. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds 2 clips). Don't bother killing the crows; they are difficult to defeat. Exit and go across the hall to the other door.

You are now on the balcony above the Dining Room, where two zombies are present. After killing them, push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. You'll find two more zombies by some stairs; kill them and go down. Two more zombies await. Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs. Inside is a save room with a chest. (If you are Chris, you meet Rebecca for the first time; she will offer to help. If you accept, she prepares medicine that is useful later. If you decline, she still prepares medicine but won't assist you later.) Collect the ribbon on the bed (Chris gets a key) and save.

Remember this room; it's important later. Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on your right contains a clip, shotgun shells, and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this to obtain the regular shotgun) but cannot be entered yet. Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room.

In this room is a dangerous plant blocking access to a key. To defeat it, put the Earth in the pump and collect the key. Use the green plants if you are injured. Now, return to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris must use the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun). Go back through the doors and turn right.

Go through the door on your right to find a bedroom. There is a clip on the bed. Upon investigating the desk, a zombie will burst out of the cupboard and attack.
