Detailed walkthrough for Resident Evil, covering characters, mansion exploration, boss fights like The Yawn and The Tyrant, and multiple endings. Compatible with Director's Cut.

This is a user-created walkthrough for Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Director's Cut.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mansion: Find clues, defeat your first zombie (Kenneth's body), collect ammo. Barry gives you a lock pick. In the next room, find the map and a zombie. Collect a ribbon and exit.
  2. 2
    Corridor Encounters: Defeat two dogs. In the next room, a bathroom can be ignored (unless Chris, then find a cabinet key). Proceed to a room with a shotgun (Jill only; triggers a trap Barry saves you from) and another room with two zombies.
  3. 3
    Second Floor: Go through the Grey Door, kill a zombie, collect a green plant. Enter the save room, save your game, and collect ammo. Go upstairs, defeat two zombies.
  4. 4
    Study and Main Hall: Enter a study, examine a Botany book. Continue down the corridor, past green doors, and shoot another zombie. Enter the unlocked door back to the Main Hall. Barry gives Jill bazooka ammo.
  5. 5
    Dining Room Balcony: Find the bazooka guarded by crows (don't kill them). Go across the hall, onto the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill two zombies, push a statue off the balcony.
  6. 6
    Lower Levels: Go through the far door, kill two zombies by stairs, go down, and kill two more. Enter a save room. Chris meets Rebecca here; choose if she should help him later. Collect a ribbon (Chris gets a key) and save.
  7. 7
    Plant Room: Go back through the corridor, find a room with a clip, shotgun shells, and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this). Head towards the plant room. Use the Earth on the pump to defeat the plant and collect a key.
  8. 8
    Bedroom: Go back to the rusty shotgun room to collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun). Go through the door on the right to a bedroom. Collect a clip from the bed. A zombie bursts from a cupboard when investigating the desk.
Tips
  • Aim for zombie heads to conserve ammo, especially as Jill.
  • Use green plants for healing when injured.
  • Save frequently in save rooms.
  • Chris can find a cabinet key in the bathroom and needs the rusty shotgun to get the standard shotgun.
  • If playing as Chris, accepting Rebecca's help can be beneficial later.
