Resident Evil/Entering the Mansion

Dining Room 1F (1)
Jill: You'll start off in a large Dining Room with Barry. Jill comes equipped with a Beretta M92FS, Combat Knife, and one First Aid Spray. The Dining Room is a good area to get used to Biohazard's controls and Inventory Screen. Once you're done practicing, run to the other side of the large table, where Barry notices a pool of blood. He sends you to search the area for more clues. Go through the single brown door in the corner (by standing next to it and pressing your Action Button).

Chris: Like Jill, you'll start off in the mansion's Dining Room. Chris only has a Combat Knife and one First Aid Spray in his inventory. The Dining Room is a good area to get used to the controls and Inventory Screen. When you're done practicing, run to other side of the large table and go through the single brown door in the corner (by standing next to it and pressing your Action Button).

Tea Room (1)
Jill: The Tea Room is a small hallway that leads to many other rooms in the mansion, though we're not concerned with them for now. Turn to Jill's left and walk around the corner to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene is over, a zombie will rise from the ground. Quickly turn around and run back to the door. Wait for the zombie to come toward you and then run past it. Investigate the corpse three times for two Beretta Clips and then dodge the zombie one more time to make it back to the Dining Room.

Dining Room (2)
Jill: Jill will run up to Barry, who quickly turns around to spot the zombie coming from the Tea Room. It doesn't get too far, however, as Barry blows its head off with his powerful Colt Python magnum. Standing in shock, the teammates decide that telling Wesker is the best thing to do. Run back to the Dining Room's double doors and go through them to reach the Main Hall.

Chris: Go back to the Main Hall by heading through the Dining Room's double doors on the other side of the table.

Main Hall 1F (1)
Jill: When Jill and Barry reach the Main Hall, they find no trace of Wesker. Barry has Jill help him look for the lost captain. You can either go up the large central staircase and then go back down, or simply go behind the staircase and then report to Barry. Finding no trace of Wesker, Barry and Jill decide to split up to look for him. Before leaving, Barry gives Jill the Lockpick, a handy tool that will be used several times throughout the game. There's a pair of Ink Ribbons you can pick up on the small table next to the staircase. Ink Ribbons allow you to save your game at a typewriter, but each time you do, one Ink Ribbon is depleted. You can save your game in the Main Hall if you'd like. Go through the double blue doors on the east side of the hall.

Chris: Chris finds no trace of the captain or Jill anywhere in the hall. Pick up Jill's Beretta M92FS off of the ground (it's the shining object next to the red carpet). There's also a pair of Ink Ribbons you can take on the small table next to the staircase. Ink Ribbons allow you to save your game at a typewriter, but each time you do, one Ink Ribbon is depleted. You can save your game in the Main Hall if you'd like. Go up the large central staircase afterwards.

Small Gallery (1)
Jill: Walk up to the small brown stepladder next to the blue statue. Push the stepladder so that it's behind the blue statue (by being pressed against the stepladder and pushing it in the direction you want it to go with the corresponding directional button). Climb up the stepladder (by being in front of it and pressing your Action Button) and take the 1st Floor Map from the jug that the statue is holding. Once you do, climb back down the stepladder and go through the single brown door in the corner.

If you'd like, you can also go inside the red curtained room (by pushing the brown chest in front of the entranceway to the left) and pick up a pair of Ink Ribbons on the large shelf. Make sure you walk around the corpse because it will try to attack you if you walk over it (you can always tell if an enemy is dead by seeing if it leaves behind a blood puddle). Exit the red room and go through the single brown door in the corner once you take the Ink Ribbons.

Chris: SKIP to Main Hall 2F (1).

Rebirth (Jill): The Small Gallery will be the area of your first knife fight. It's a simple battle though, since you only have to fight two zombies. Just focus on doing upward slashes (by moving the stylus from the bottom of the touchscreen to the top quickly) and the two zombies will be done in no time. Once the knife battle is over, walk up to the small brown stepladder next to the blue statue. Push the stepladder so that it's behind the blue statue (by being pressed against the stepladder and pushing it in the direction you want it to go with the corresponding directional button). Climb up the stepladder (by being in front of it and pressing your Action Button) and take the 1st Floor Map from the jug that the statue is holding. Once you do, climb back down the stepladder and go through the single brown door in the corner.

If you'd like, you can also go inside the red curtained room (by pushing the brown chest in front of the entranceway to the left) and pick up a pair of Ink Ribbons on the large shelf. When you enter you'll encounter another pair of zombies. Just walk up to them to get their attention and quickly run back to the entranceway. Shoot the zombies from this position (it will only take 2-5 Beretta shots to kill them) and turn the next corner. There will be a "corpse" on the ground; but it is not really dead. Walk around the corpse because it will try to attack you if you walk over it (you can always tell if an enemy is dead by seeing if it leaves behind a blood puddle). Exit the red room and go through the single brown door in the corner once you take the Ink Ribbons.

Rebirth (Chris): SKIP to Main Hall 2F (1).

L-Shaped Hallway (1)
Jill: Run forward until the camera angle changes. When it does, turn around and start walking backwards. As soon as you walk past the first window, a Cerberus dog will jump right through it. Immediately aim your Beretta and shoot it once. Each time you shoot a Cerberus, it will rest for approximately three seconds and charge at you again. Shoot it while it rests, wait for it to get back up, and then shoot again. Repeat this strategy until it is finally dead. Turn the corner to face yet another Cerberus. Apply the same tactics you learned to kill off this canine. When it's dead, walk up to brown chest in the second part of the hallway (this chest is darker than all of the other ones) and push it to the right to reveal a hidden Beretta Clip. Take the Clip off of the ground and go through the door that's at the end of the hallway.

Jill: You'll have to solve your first major puzzle here (don't worry though, it's very easy). Basically there's an arrangement of pictures with switches under them that must be activated (by pressing the switches) in a certain order to reveal an important item we'll need. The correct order is: Once you complete this order, run up to the small picture at the very end of the room and press the switch under it. The picture will fall forward, revealing the Star Crest. Take the crest and then exit the room.

This is an Item Box, where you can store any item to save inventory space (you can use the Item Box by standing next to it and pressing the Action Button). Drop off your Combat Knife, First Aid Spray, Small Key, and your Ink Ribbons (only if you don't plan on saving the game at the nearby typewriter). Take the two Beretta Clips from the Item Box and combine them with your other Clips to save inventory space. Walk up to the bed in the corner and pick up the shining Sword Key. We'll need this to unlock many important rooms in the mansion, so make sure you hold onto it. You can save your game at the typewriter that's on the table, but make sure you drop off your Ink Ribbons once you do. Exit the room once you're done with everything.

Drop off the First Aid Spray, Small Key, and Ink Ribbons (only if you don't plan on saving at the nearby typewriter). Take all sixty of the Beretta Clips and all fourteen Shotgun Shells from the Item Box. Combine all of the Beretta Clips to save some inventory space, and make sure to stow the Shotgun Shells in the Item Box (you won't be needing them for awhile). Walk up to the bed and take the shining Sword Key, which is needed to unlock several mansion doors, so make sure it stays in your inventory. Walk up to the blue chest next to the Item Box. Every one of these blue chests contain a small light puzzle, and when solved, the chest will open, revealing an item (most of the time it's ammo). To solve this one, first move the light that's to the right of the first one with the bottom left one. Then move the bottom left one with the top light, and finally, move the light that's to the left of the top one with the bottom right one. The blue chest will then open, revealing a box of Shotgun Shells. Go back into your Item Box and drop off these Shotgun Shells. You can save your game at the typewriter on the table, but make sure you drop off your Ink Ribbons into the Item Box once you do. After you're all done, exit the room (make sure you have your Beretta with some Clips and the Sword Key only).
