Detailed walkthrough for entering the mansion in Resident Evil. Learn how to deal with early zombies, find key items like the map and shotgun, and navigate the first areas of the Spencer Mansion.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After speaking with Barry, proceed through the far door to encounter your first zombie. Shoot it until it falls, then shoot it again to make it stand up and finish it off. Collect the clips.
  2. 2
    Return to Barry. A zombie will attack, which Barry will handle.
  3. 3
    Go to the Main Hall. Barry will give you a lock pick. Proceed through the blue doors.
  4. 4
    In this room, move the steps next to the statue to collect the map. Move the desk away from the door and enter. Deal with the zombie on the floor, collect the ribbon, and exit.
  5. 5
    Go through the other door. Shoot the dog that bursts through the window.
  6. 6
    Continue down the corridor and shoot the next dog.
  7. 7
    The first door is a bathroom (ignore unless playing as Chris, then drain water and find a cabinet key).
  8. 8
    Proceed down the corridor to two more doors. The left door contains the shotgun (Jill can get it and trigger a trap that Barry saves her from; Chris should avoid this room for now).
  9. 9
    Go through the other door to encounter two more zombies.
  10. 10
    Go through the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant if needed, and enter the next door.
  11. 11
    This is a save room. Save your game, deposit items, collect the Earth, and exit.
  12. 12
    Go up the stairs. Kill the zombie to your left and the one behind you. Enter the door at the end of the corridor.
  13. 13
    Shoot the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book and leave.
  14. 14
    Head along the corridor, past the green doors, and shoot another zombie.
  15. 15
    Go through the next unlocked door to return to the Main Hall.
  16. 16
    (Jill only) Barry will meet you and give you bazooka ammo.
  17. 17
    Go to the door next to the one you just exited. Investigate the body to find the bazooka (Chris finds clips). Do not kill the crows.
  18. 18
    Exit and go across the hall to the other door, entering the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies.
  19. 19
    Push the stone statue off the balcony and go through the far door.
  20. 20
    Kill the two zombies by the stairs and go down. Kill the two more zombies at the bottom.
  21. 21
    Enter the door at the bottom of the stairs. This is a save room. (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.
  22. 22
    Exit and continue down the corridor, encountering another zombie.
  23. 23
    The door on your right contains items (clip, shotgun shells, rusty shotgun for Chris) but cannot be entered yet.
  24. 24
    Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor towards the plant room.
  25. 25
    In the plant room, put the Earth into the pump to kill the plant and collect the key. Use green plants if injured.
  26. 26
    Return to the rusty shotgun room and collect the items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the new shotgun).
  27. 27
    Go back through the doors and turn right.
  28. 28
    Go through the door on your right to find a bedroom. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will burst from the cupboard when you investigate the desk.
Tips
  • Aim for the head to conserve ammo and for a more satisfying kill.
  • Use the environment to your advantage, such as luring zombies into corridors.
  • If playing as Jill, Barry's assistance can be crucial, especially during the shotgun trap.
  • If playing as Chris, remember to collect the rusty shotgun to upgrade to the full shotgun.
  • Conserve healing items; use them only when necessary.
