Detailed walkthrough for Resident Evil, covering the Mansion section. Learn how to defeat zombies, find key items like the shotgun and map, and progress through the early stages of the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by speaking to Barry and proceeding through the first door. Engage the first zombie, ensuring to blast it again when it falls to kill it permanently. Collect the clips.
  2. 2
    Return to Barry. A zombie will attack; Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall.
  3. 3
    Barry gives you a lock pick. Go through the blue doors. Move the steps to collect the map, then move the desk to access another room. Kill the zombie on the floor, collect the ribbon, and exit.
  4. 4
    Proceed down the corridor, shooting the two dogs that attack.
  5. 5
    The first door on the left is a bathroom (ignore unless Chris, then drain water for cabinet key). Continue down the corridor.
  6. 6
    The left door leads to a room with a shotgun. Jill can take it, triggering a trap that Barry saves her from. Chris should avoid this room for now.
  7. 7
    The right door leads to a room with two zombies. Aim high to practice headshots (Jill).
  8. 8
    Go through the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant (use if injured), and enter the save room. Save your game, dump items, collect Earth, and exit.
  9. 9
    Go upstairs. Kill the zombie to your left and the one behind you. Enter the door at the end of the corridor.
  10. 10
    Shoot the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
  11. 11
    Continue down the corridor, past the green doors (inaccessible yet), and shoot another zombie.
  12. 12
    Enter the unlocked door, returning to the Main Hall. Barry (Jill only) gives you bazooka ammo.
  13. 13
    Go to the door next to the one you just exited to find the bazooka, guarded by crows. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds clips). Do not kill the crows.
  14. 14
    Exit and go across the hall to the other door, entering the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies, push the statue off the balcony, and go through the far door.
  15. 15
    Kill the two zombies by the stairs, then go down the stairs. Kill the two more zombies. Go through the door at the bottom.
  16. 16
    This is a save room. Save your game (Chris meets Rebecca here; choose 'Yes' for her to prepare medicine and help later, or 'No' for medicine but no later help). Collect the ribbon (Chris gets a key) and save.
  17. 17
    Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on the right contains items (clip, shotgun shells, rusty shotgun for Chris) but is inaccessible yet.
  18. 18
    Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head towards the plant room.
  19. 19
    In the plant room, put the Earth in the pump to kill the plant and collect the key behind it. Use green plants if injured.
  20. 20
    Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun).
  21. 21
    Go back through the doors and turn right.
  22. 22
    Enter the bedroom on the right. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will burst from the cupboard when investigating the desk.
Tips
  • When encountering zombies, aim for the head to conserve ammo and practice for later encounters.
  • Use green plants to heal injuries, especially if playing as Chris, who has a tougher start.
  • Save frequently in the designated save rooms.
  • For Jill, practice headshots on zombies to make them easier to deal with.
  • If playing as Chris, remember to collect the rusty shotgun to obtain the regular shotgun.
