To prevent this, always stab zombies on the floor to check if they’re dead. They’ll almost always get back up again and often just as you’re walking past. It’s usually not that hard to down a zombie, but just because they’ve fallen to the ground doesn’t mean they’re actually dead (or however you want to phrase it). They’re also very useful for dealing with fast moving zombie dogs, so bear that in mind. You’ll see sparks of electricity shooting out from them and if you shoot them they’ll paralyse any enemy within a fairly wide area, including Nemesis. The best thing to do is to mind your surroundings and look out for little electricity generators that are dotted around in many locations. The problem with combat in Resident Evil 3 is that Nemesis cannot be defeated through normal gameplay and while zombies can there’s usually too many of them and not enough ammo.

When you know he’s around take time to plan your route via the map, when you’re in a safe room, and whatever you do don’t run around aimlessly. If you can’t just run, perhaps because you’re being blocked by zombies, then you can attack him, but he’ll absorb a lot of ammo before he drops and even then he’ll only be fazed for a few minutes, so you still need to run. If he does get you then jab the ‘X’ or ‘A’ button to get out of his grasp more quickly. The best thing to do is simply run away, although Nemesis will often jump in front of you or catch you from behind with his tentacles.

That presents a problem because he’s often wandering around the game world looking for you, and will follow you anywhere except the safe rooms and certain key areas – and even then he’ll still hang around outside. The short answer is you can’t, not under normal circumstances. On the bottom right is a number code with highlighted digits and arrows telling you which direction you need to turn each one in.How do I kill Nemesis in Resident Evil 3? You’ll spot a dead body, a bunch of paintings, and a, er, not so dead body here in addition to the safe.Ĭlose to the safe is a note from the drugstore owner that says nobody else knows the safe combination, not even his wife, “It’s a secret between me and my beautiful Aqua Cure queen… and she’d never give it up for a thief!” Later on you’ll encounter the pharmacy itself – it’s on the same street as the Subway Office – head inside and one the back wall you should spot a massive poster of the Aqua Cure queen herself. There’s an attic room that connects two of the open street areas. In case you’re not completely sure which safe we’re talking about. So learning how to get into it should be pretty high on your to-do list before progressing any further in the main story. There’s a very powerful reward waiting inside the drugstore owner’s safe, the very first safe you come across in Resident Evil 3.
