A comprehensive walkthrough for Resident Evil, guiding you through the treacherous Mansion, Guardhouse, Caves, and Laboratory. Includes tips for defeating bosses like The Yawn and The Tyrant.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After speaking with Barry, proceed through the far door and defeat the first zombie. Shoot it again when it falls to ensure it stays down. Collect the clips.
  2. 2
    Return to Barry; a zombie will burst in, and Barry will handle it. Proceed to the Main Hall.
  3. 3
    Barry will give you a lock pick. Go through the blue doors. Move the steps to reach the map, then move the desk to access another room. Collect the ribbon and exit.
  4. 4
    In the next corridor, defeat two dogs.
  5. 5
    The first door on the left is a bathroom (Chris can find a cabinet key here). Continue down the corridor to two more doors.
  6. 6
    The left door contains the shotgun (Jill will trigger a trap, but Barry will save her; Chris should avoid this room for now).
  7. 7
    Through the other door, defeat two zombies. Enter the Grey Door, kill the zombie by the stairs, collect the green plant, and enter the save room. Save your game and collect the Earth.
  8. 8
    Go upstairs. Defeat the zombie to your left and the one behind you. Enter the door at the end of the corridor.
  9. 9
    Shoot the zombie and enter the small study. Examine the Botany book.
  10. 10
    Continue down the corridor, past the green doors you cannot enter yet. Shoot another zombie and proceed to two more doors. Enter the unlocked door to return to the Main Hall.
  11. 11
    Barry (Jill only) will give you bazooka ammo. Investigate the body next to the door you just exited to find the bazooka (Chris finds clips). Do not kill the crows.
  12. 12
    Cross the hall to the other door. You'll be on the balcony above the Dining Room. Kill the two zombies, push the statue off the balcony, and go through the far door.
  13. 13
    Kill the two zombies by the stairs, then go down. Defeat two more zombies and enter the save room at the bottom. (Chris meets Rebecca here; choosing 'Yes' leads to her preparing medicine and helping later; 'No' means she still prepares medicine but offers no later assistance). Collect the ribbon (Chris gets a key) and save.
  14. 14
    Exit and proceed down the corridor, encountering another zombie. The door on your right contains items but cannot be entered yet.
  15. 15
    Go through the other door, shoot the zombies, and head down the narrow corridor to the plant room.
  16. 16
    Place the Earth in the pump to kill the plant and collect the key. Use green plants if injured.
  17. 17
    Return to the rusty shotgun room to collect items (Chris uses the rusty shotgun to get the regular shotgun).
  18. 18
    Go back through the doors and turn right. Enter the bedroom on your right. Collect the clip from the bed. A zombie will emerge from the cupboard when you investigate the desk.
Tips
  • Aim high to blow off zombie heads, especially if playing as Jill.
  • Use green plants for healing when injured.
  • Save your game frequently in save rooms.
  • Be prepared for ambushes from zombies and dogs.
  • Character-specific actions and items (like the cabinet key for Chris or the shotgun trap for Jill) should be noted.
Key items such as a map, lock pick, shotgun, bazooka ammo, and a key are acquired. Character-specific items like a cabinet key and shotgun upgrades are also obtained. Healing items and ammunition are found throughout. The ability to save progress is crucial.
