Your guide to the Guardhouse Area in Resident Evil HD Remaster. Learn how to solve the arrow puzzle, defeat crows, find the Magnum, and survive Lisa Trevor.

Alright, let's head into the Guardhouse Area. It's not too complicated, but there are a few things to watch out for, especially a certain immortal boss later on.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Shed: First things first, head down to the shed. You'll see some shiny items – grab both the FLASH GRENADE and the FIRST AID SPRAY. Trust me, you'll want both of these. Once you've got them, head through the door at the bottom of the small stairs. This leads to the Outside Pathway.
  2. 2
    Outside Pathway: Just keep running down this path until you spot some spinning arrows. You need to solve this puzzle. Look at the red arrow first – you need to set it to the WEST POSITION. Then, when you get to the blue arrow, turn it NORTH. Do that, and the gate will unlock. Keep your weapons ready, though; things can get a little hairy.
  3. 3
    Crow Graveyard: Yep, another graveyard, and this one's got crows. Equip a decent weapon like your HANDGUN or SHOTGUN. Start shooting every single crow you see from where you're standing. They're going to attack you, but it's worth the effort to take them all down.
  4. 4
    The Crests and the Magnum: Once all the crows are dead, head down and take a right where there's a gap between the tombstones. You'll find two large tombstones. On the right one, insert the WIND CREST. This will reveal three new CRESTS. Grab them all. If you can't grab all three at once, grab as many as you can and take them to the left tombstone. Before you put them into the left tombstone, check the back of each crest. Your reward for all this? The MAGNUM! This is a big help for later parts.
  5. 5
    Outside Pathway 2 and the Cottage: After you've got the Magnum, head back to the main part of the graveyard and turn right through the gate. You'll be back on an outside pathway. After a weird cut-scene, keep running down this path until you see a COTTAGE. If you get lost, just check your map. Head inside.
  6. 6
    Inside the Cottage: Okay, this is important. Run up the stairs. Grab the COURTYARD MAP, and then run past the bed. You'll see an ITEM BOX nearby – use it! And critically, SAVE YOUR GAME at the TYPEWRITER. Seriously, save. Now, grab the SQUARE CRANK.
  7. 7
    BOSS #2: LISA TREVOR: As soon as you try to leave the cottage, you'll get a cut-scene, and then... boss fight time. This is Lisa Trevor, and she's basically immortal. Your only goal here is to RUN. Don't even think about shooting her; she won't die, and three hits from her will kill you instantly. Just get out of there as fast as you possibly can. Head out and keep moving!
Tips
  • Don't waste ammo trying to fight Lisa Trevor. She's unbeatable at this stage. Your only option is to escape.
  • Make sure to grab the MAGNUM; it's a powerful weapon that will be very useful later on.
  • Don't forget to save your game and use the item box in the cottage before the Lisa Trevor encounter.
