Resident Evil

If you place the red jewel into the tiger statue instead of the jewelry box, the tiger statue will rise up into the ceiling. A log of snakes will drop from the ceiling. If you exit the room and reenter, the statue will be reset, and the red jewel will be lying on the ground in front of it.

After defending yourself against a Zombie with a dagger, when he stands back up, blow off his head with the shotgun. If you remove the head, the dagger should be back on the ground next to the corpse.

During the first part in the mansion, do not push the statue to the first floor. When you return from the outside residence (second part of the mansion), go to the dining room and you will notice that the statue has been already pushed to the first floor. Just pick up the blue diamond, and do not waste your time during the first part of the mansion.

Conserving ammunition is an essential part of the game, especially under the normal or hard difficulty settings. Do not use the Magnum. Save it for the Tyrant. The Magnum cannot kill Lisa Trevor, and bullets for it are impossible to find. Conserve the Magnum's ammunition for the final battle.


Zombies: Only kill Zombies if they are blocking a pathway or door that you need to get through. If you can avoid a Zombie, do so by all means. You may regret it later if you waste much needed handgun bullets at the start of the game. If a Zombie falls to the floor after you have shot it, equip the knife to finish it off while it is still in that position. If you do not kill too many Zombies, then you will not encounter pesky Crimsons.

Crimson Heads: Since Crimsons can run as fast, or sometimes even faster than you, it is vital to think quickly in these situations. If you are in a hall as a Crimson is running at you, shoot it with a powerful weapon (shotgun and grenade launcher recommended). If you have a shotgun, the best thing to do is aim upwards. Shoot when the Crimson is about a foot away from you to blow its head off with one or two shells. If you are in a large room with corners, stay in a corner. As the Crimson nears, dash out of the corner. The Crimson should be stuck in the corner, confused. Then either run or use the shotgun to finish it off with a head shot.

Hunters and Chimeras: These enemies are much more intelligent and efficient than Crimsons or Zombies. Keep a good distance from them, as they will rip your head off or jump on you and drain a lot of health. An Acid round to the face works the best. The shotgun also does well. Head shots help conserve the most ammunition.

Crows, Bees, Small sn$akes, Leeches, Dogs: Avoid them. If you really want to kill them, the handgun works best, especially when you are further in the game. Since you do not need the handgun near the end, it is best used when you need to kill these pesky creatures.

Use the following trick when you have Defense Daggers and you want to conserve Hand Gun ammunition. When you encounter a Zombie, walk directly up to it and let it grab onto you, with your Hand Gun equipped. Then, stab it in the head with one of your Defense Daggers. It should stumble back a few steps. During this time quickly take aim and fire one shot at the Zombie. This should blow the its head off, leaving your Defense Dagger for retrieval. Note: You will have a better chance of suces if you have not yet fired any rounds into the Zombie.

It is not necessary to fight crows. If you walk instead of run, stay a reasonable distance from the crows, and not aim your gun, they usually will not attack you, saving much needed ammo.

If there is more than one zombie in a room and you plan on killing them, space yourself from them and kill one. Next, kill the second one so it falls directly on the one that was killed. Then, use your Kerosene. Both zombies will be burned. Note: This work on as many zombies you can possibly stack.

Using the "Unlimited grenade ammunition" trick, grab some incendiary rounds, arm them, then go on a zombie hunt. One or two hits to a zombie will bring it down. This is very fun when used against dogs. They will jump into the air, then burst into flames just before they tear a chunk out of Jill's face. Also try it on someone (or something) infected with the T-virus.

If you miss something in a room, or if you do not now what to do next, look at your map. The rooms with red marks have been explored. Its possible that you may have missed something from them. Check the map when you get something from a room. If the red mark is gone there will be no more items to search for in the room. However a door with a red mark on the map is locked. Do not waste your time trying to open it.

Before you enter the room with the Black Tiger spider, grab the knife you already have in your inventory or the flame thrower (Chris only). Enter the room with the knife equipped. As soon as you can move your character, run to the web covered door and take a swing. Do not stand still for long or you will be attacked by the spiders. It may take awhile and many attempts, but you will save ammunition.

Note: This happens in the Gamecube version only. When in the secret lab, go to the computer where you enter the password to open the electrically locked doors. Enter "JOHN" as a username and "ADA" as a password. Select the door that you need a password for. The normal password is "CELL", however enter "MOLE" instead. This was the password for the computer from the original Resident Evil. When you try to enter, yoou will be denied but will hear the voice of Tofu, the secret character from Resident Evil 2.

When transporting the nitro in the fuel cell, your character can run for a couple of seconds at a time without causing the nitro to explode. Noite: Do not do this under the hard difficulty setting, because it is extremely dangerous.

In the room with the first floor map, if you killed the Zombie back in the alcove, when he mutates he will be trapped behind the piece of furniture.
