RE1-96-Guest
about 2 years agoI just noticed that there are guides for Resident Evil (1996) now. I have a suggestion for a guide: saving Barry.
When you meet Barry in the underground area as Jill, he asks if you want him to go first and whether you go together, etc. It's not very clear or obvious what the correct choices are for people that may wish to save Barry. Maybe there could be a guide for selecting the right options?
I just thought this might be a good idea to suggest. :)Echoes
about 2 years agoBuilt like a website from the 2000s, straight to the point. My favorite thing about RE games has always been the planning. Thanks for making it easy to find all the info I need!

about 2 years agoThanks everyone for the amazing feedback I've received recently. I've also had several messages alerting me to a few inconsistencies in the data, which I am so happy to receive. It gives me that assurance that the data is getting more accurate.
@the resident of evil - Thank you! It is an honour to be compared against that site, given its wealth of information and how in-depth it is at covering Silent Hill. Much appreciated.the resident of evil

about 2 years agoLove this website. Easy to navigate and brimming with really useful information on all the Resident Evil games. It's especially helpful to me since I've started attempting No Save/No Damage runs of the classic Resident Evil trilogy. Only problem I've had so far (over months of visiting the site) is some innacurate information on the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis maps which are 99% accurate anyway.

about 2 years ago@inaba thanks! And thank you for finding this error, I have fixed this now to it details the correct key. Much appreciated :)
@JetJuice thank you so much, this has been really useful. I have gone through and updated the data to include these additions. I did find that there were three zombies in the broadcast room as appose to two, and you can trigger the factory spawns by examining the gondola even before you've repaired it (i.e. before using the motherboard). Thanks again, I love that the data is getting more and more accurate, and your findings will help so many people.inaba
about 2 years agoHi, love this website! Was playing through RE1 and noticed that on your maps for the original 1996 game, all the rooms that are unlocked with the Helmet Key (Courtyard Study, Trophy Room, Lesson Room) instead say that they need to be accessed with the Shield Key. It confused me a little bit so I just thought I would give a heads up!
JetJuice
about 2 years agoOkay, I finally found what specifically causes the zombies in the factory to spawn. It's simply interacting with the gondola. As long as the prompt "It's a small gondola, Rebecca could probably ride it" appears, the zombies will spawn. It's a rather minor observation, but hopefully this can save some time. Note that Rebecca doesn't actually need to ride it for the trigger to work.
This trigger also applies for the zombies in the Rec Room and the B6 Walkway in the treatment plant (it erroneously states that they spawn after the flood gates are activated, but again, the difference is really obscure).
That's about all I can find. I studied each area pretty thoroughly and replayed multiple saves, but I think that's the last of it.JetJuice
about 2 years agoOf course. Happy to help. Just to make things easier, I replayed multiple saves, and I noticed that:
- The triggers for the treatment plant encounters are caused specifically by the shaft keys being used (after beating Marcus in the incinerator)
- The triggers for the training facility enemies are caused by the cutscene where Billy is attacked at the end of the laboratory
- The triggers for the factory encounters have to do with the motherboard, gondola, or dam activation (couldn't tell at the time)
- There is a fourth lurker encounter in the dumping room where you reunite with Billy. I noticed it in some videos, but I managed to encounter it personally in my later play sessions.
I'm happy these findings got through. Hope this follow-up helps.Alex (Webmaster)
about 2 years ago@JetJuice - fantastic, thank you so much for the detailed findings! I'll be sure to check this out and update the site accordingly. Some of those encounters sound like spawns that occur after the penultimate final boss fight, which is very interesting. Guess it makes sense as, unlike most other RE's, you have to backtrack to get resources you've dropped rather than rely on the magic item box. Thanks again, this is great info :) and thank you for the nice comments about the site, I'm always thoroughly grateful this resource has managed to help someone.
@.Steve this is amazing to hear, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, it's certainly very much appreciated. Haha yeah, the Cerberuses seem so light on their feet, "scampering" felt like the most apt term to describe their bounding behaviour :)JetJuice
about 2 years agoI played RE0 again and I witnessed several interesting undocumented enemy encounters. Sorry for the long list:
Treatment Plant
- Three zombies in the Treatment Plant Laboratory (B8) - Likely triggered by beating Marcus in the incinerator
- One Hunter in the Dumping Room (B8) - Likely triggered by beating Marcus in the incinerator
- One Zombie on the B7 Walkway - Unknown (likely after opening the dam)
Factory
- Two Zombies in the Maintenance Shaft (B1) - Likely triggered by activating the Treatment Plant Dam
- Three zombies on the Turntable Platform (B4) - Likely triggered by activating the Treatment Plant Dam (the Tyrant rips open the gate after entering the treatment facility for the first time)
Training Facility
- Two Zombies in the Broadcast Room (2F) - Presumably caused by activating the elevator in the factory
- Two Zombies in the Bathroom (1F) - Presumably caused by activating the elevator in the factory
Facility Basement
- Two plague crawlers in Torture Chamber B (B1) - Presumably caused by activating the elevator in the factory
That's what I managed to find for now. Hope this helps.JetJuice
about 2 years agoI really love the dedication put into this website. Knowing the locations and behaviors of enemies in different games was especially helpful, and it even helped with some of the older games like CV and 0. I respect the amount of effort it took to cover all of the items, enemies, maps, spawn conditions, and difficulty differences.
Speaking of Code Veronica, I saw a comment from about 8 months ago in the second guestbook page about the presence of hunters and sweepers in the jet hangar corridor. Having finished it already, I revisited that section to see if it was correct. I had trouble trying to trigger it, but by killing the widows first and then grabbing the door knob and returning via the elevator, I encountered spotters. They disappear occasionally, and the type of enemy they spawn is randomized, but I can confirm they do appear.
That said, spectacular work. Hope this helps!
