A detailed walkthrough for Resident Evil, guiding you through the treacherous Mansion, its puzzles, and the terrifying enemies that await. Includes tips for both Chris and Jill.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After speaking to Barry, proceed through the far door and defeat the first zombie (Kenneth's body). Collect the clips.
  2. 2
    Return to Barry. A zombie will burst in; Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall.
  3. 3
    Barry gives you a lock pick. Go through the blue doors. In this room, move the steps to collect the map, then move the desk to enter the next room.
  4. 4
    In the next room, defeat the zombie on the floor, collect the ribbon, and exit.
  5. 5
    Proceed down the corridor, defeating two dogs.
  6. 6
    The first door on the left is a bathroom (ignore unless Chris, then drain water for a cabinet key).
  7. 7
    The next door on the left leads to a room with a shotgun. Jill can enter and get it, triggering a trap that Barry saves her from. Chris should not enter yet.
  8. 8
    The door on the right leads to a room with two zombies. Aim high to blow off their heads (Jill).
  9. 9
    Go through the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant, and enter the save room.
  10. 10
    Save your game, dump the ribbon in the chest, collect the Earth, and exit.
  11. 11
    Go upstairs. Defeat the zombie to your left and the one behind you.
  12. 12
    Enter the door at the end of the corridor, kill the zombie, and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
  13. 13
    Continue down the corridor, past the green doors (inaccessible yet). Kill another zombie.
  14. 14
    Enter the unlocked door, which leads back to the Main Hall.
  15. 15
    If Jill, Barry gives you bazooka ammo. Find the bazooka in the door next to the one you just exited (guarded by crows). Chris finds clips instead.
  16. 16
    Exit and go across the hall to the other door, leading to the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies.
  17. 17
    Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door. Kill two zombies by the stairs and go down.
  18. 18
    Defeat two more zombies at the bottom of the stairs and enter the save room. If Chris, Rebecca offers help; accept for later assistance. Collect the ribbon (Chris gets a key) and save.
  19. 19
    Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie.
  20. 20
    The door on the right contains items and a rusty shotgun (Chris needs this). It cannot be entered yet.
  21. 21
    Go through the other door, shoot zombies, and head down the narrow corridor to the plant room.
  22. 22
    Use the Earth from the pump to kill the plant and collect the key behind it. Use green plants if injured.
  23. 23
    Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun).
  24. 24
    Go back through the doors and turn right.
  25. 25
    Enter the bedroom on the right. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will emerge from the cupboard when investigating the desk.
