Strategy Guide

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Biohazard 3: Last Escape. Half of the game takes place before Resident Evil 2, the other half takes place after Resident Evil 2. While other actions, elements and control schemes are the same as previous Resident Evil titles (such as file and map screens, combining weapons and herbs, chest boxes, saving via ink ribbons and a ranking process), Resident Evil 3: Nemesis features a few gameplay twists.

Note: This game is also titled Biohazard 3: Last Escape.

Mercenary mode

Successfully complete the game once on any difficulty setting and wait for the credits to end, then save the 'Next Game' file to unlock 'The Mercenaries' mini-game. Start a new game, choose that saved game, then select 'The Mercenaries' mode. This mode involves controlling Carlos, Mikhal, or Nikoli from the train to the starting room with a two minute timer. Killing the various opponents and rescuing civilians during the journey will add extra money and more time to the clock. A rank and money will be awarded after the game is completed. The money can be used to purchase better weapons and infinite ammunition.

Boutique key

Successfully complete the game once and wait for the credits to end, then save the 'Next Game' file to receive the key to the Boutique on the first street at the start of the game. Use the key to enter and change into an alternate costume.

Alternate costumes

Successfully complete the game on the easy difficulty setting with any rank better than an F to unlock Jill's costume from the original Resident Evil and Regina's costume from Dino Crisis. Successfully complete the game on the hard difficulty setting with a rank of D to unlock two costumes, C for three, B for four, and A for all five costumes. The three additional costumes are a police miniskirt, disco, and biker outfits.

Epilogues

Successfully complete the game on the hard difficulty setting to unlock an Epilogue. Epilogues are a short diary description of each character in the entire Resident Evil series which describes what happened with that specific person after their adventure. Successfully complete the game on the hard difficulty setting eight times to unlock all Epilogues. All eight Epilogues read as followed:

Jill Valentine

After escaping the city, Jill set out to join Chris Redfield. However, all she found was an empty hideout of Chris's. On the floor was Chris's knife. Jill left without hesitation because she firmly believes that Chris is still alive. She will search for him until she finds him. Then they can go and put an end to Umbrella...

Chris Redfield

'Please forgive me Claire.' Chris Redfield has just finished this letter with his signature phrase. As he removes his sunglasses, a lady walks by him with light steps. 'She looks about the same age as Claire,' he thinks. A short time later, Chris discovered that his sister was looking for him, but was caught...

Barry Burton

Barry Burton looks at his young daughters and says, 'I'm sorry but my comrades are waiting for me.' He knows that he must repay his teammates for forgiving his betrayal. Even if that means leaving his family for now. His wife tries to hide her fear, so she smiles and says, 'Don't worry. We'll be OK...'

Leon Kennedy

Leon Scott Kennedy is confronted by a man who claims to be a U.S. government agent. Leon says, 'Leave Sherry alone. She is innocent.' 'She knows too much,' the man replies. He looks at Leon and says, 'But you have value. This is a good deal. Make your choice.' Without regret or hesitation, Leon closes his eyes and then sharply responds...

Claire Redfield

'Leave us alone.' Claire Redfield couldn't believe Leon's words. Leon continued, 'You're looking for your brother, right? Just go!' Claire knew that Leon and Sherry needed immediate medical attention, but she could not waste anymore time. 'I... I'll be back. I promise!' She said as she disappeared into the wilderness alone...

Sherry Birkin

'Do you have any relatives?' When the army officer asked her, Sherry Birkin did not respond for she has no immediate relatives. Her father and mother died because of the G-virus. And so, this little girl holds herself with her arms and bites her lip tight. She thinks, 'I'm sure she will come back. She won't forget about me...'

Ada Wong

A woman looks at herself in the mirror. She used to be called Ada Wong... But this morning she will say good-bye to the name. 'I'm not Ada Wong anymore...' She feels her ab and thinks, 'This is Ada's scar, not mine.' And as she says good-bye to Ada Wong, she can't stop her tears. However, there isn't much time left before her next mission...

Hunk, the 4th Survivor

'Once again, only you survived, Mr. Death,' the chopper pilot speaks with a cold bitterness. 'Always, only you, survive, Mr. Death,' the pilot continues. But Hunk does not respond to the pilot. He doesn't care. 'The Death cannot die...,' the survivor thinks to himself with a warm smile...

Jill's Diary

Collect all thirty notes and books in the game to replace the first book in your file with Jill's Diary. Jill's Diary reads as followed:

August 7th

Two weeks have passed since that day. My wounds have been healed, but I just can't forget it. For most people, it's history now. But for me, whenever I close my eyes, it all comes back clearly. Zombies eating people's flesh and the screams of my teammates dying. No, the wounds in my heart are not healed yet...

August 13th

Chris has been causing a lot of trouble recently. What's with him? He seldom talks to the other police members and is constantly irritated. The other day, he punched Elran of the Boy's Crime department just for accidentally splashing Chris's face with coffee. I immediately stopped Chris, but when he saw me he just gave me a wink and walked away. I wonder what happened to him...

August 15th

Midnight. Chris, who has been on a leave of absence for a 'vacation,' called me so I visited his apartment. As soon as I walked into his room, he showed me a couple of pieces of paper. They were part of a virus research report entitled as simply as 'G'. Then Chris told me that, 'The nightmare still continues.' He went on to say that, 'It's not over yet.' Ever since that day, he has been fighting all by himself without rest, without even telling me...

August 24th

Chris left the town today to go to Europe. Barry told me that he would send his family to Canada and then he would follow Chris. I decided to remain in Raccoon City for a while because I know that the research facility in this city will be very important to this entire case. In a month or so, I'll be joining with them somewhere in Europe. That's when my real battle begins...

Hints

Locker combination

When entering the Police Station and going into the door in the top left corner you will reach a room with zombies. After killing them, enter the next room, which contains the lockers. Once there, go to the other side to find a locker with a light on it. The game will prompt for a code. The code is either '0131', '0513', '4011', or '4312'.

Park fountain solution

When using the water control unit in Raccoon Park to drain the fountain, you will need to align the gray and black gears. The gears need to be moved in this order to correctly align them and drain the fountain. Move bottom left black gear Up. Move top center gray gear Down. Move top right gray gear to the Left. Move bottom right black gear Up. Move top center gray gear Down. Move top left black gear to the Right.

Water sample solution

When using the water sample machine in the abandoned Waste Processing Plant (Dead Factory), you will need to correctly align the three lines of the water sample to process the sample. The four possible solutions are A: 4 Right, B: 2 Right, C: 2 Left. A: 1 Right, B: 1 Right, C: 2 Left. A: 1 Left, B: 2 Left, C: 2 Right. A: 1 Right, B: 3 Right, C: 4 Left. This will unlock half of the lock to the door next to the elevator.

Valentine's Day
Resident Evil/Biohazard is widely known as the father of the survival-horror genre in video games. Even though it's not the FIRST title to belong to this niche, your common gamer would be hard pressed to think of another title outside of the classic zombie shooting, puzzle solving, item hording thriller. Sure, Silent Hill is a great runner-up, but nothing comes close to the stress of running out of ammo AND ink ribbons. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis follows the events of the first title- simply Resident Evil- and takes place in and around the same time as the sequel, Resident Evil 2. You'll step into the surprisingly fashionable boots of one Jill Valentine after her escapades in the Spencer Estate as she lockpicks and scrounges her way through the many twists, turns, alleys, and streets of Raccoon City.
GRAPHICS - 10
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, or Biohazard 3: Last Escape if you will, released in 1999 during the golden age of graphics among the more popular titles for the Playstation 1, and it certainly didn't fail to impress following the effects used in the previous game. The breathtaking FMV sequences are more than pleasing to look at even today even though they are clearly outdated. The effects were outstanding, from explosions, to the sheer multitude of terrifying zombies and monsters that would appear- especially during a specific sequence involving a certain pharmacy at some point in the game.
The pre-rendered backgrounds are fantastic- Where anything from a simple concrete alley to the more elaborate set pieces of the Raccoon City Police Department and the local Hospital all share a very seamless and daunting atmosphere. Not a pixel was left that doesn't seem to be lovingly crafted into the panorama of Raccoon City that players will traverse over the course of the game.
That's all big talk, but I'd by lying if I said it was 100% perfect. Naturally in such a large game with large goals, some areas felt a little TOO cluttered and can somewhat be confusing to look at. Players will have to really stop for a moment, assuming the zombie hordes will allow them too, to really scope the area for items that they might otherwise miss without the telltale flash which isn't shared by every single thing you can interact with or pick up.
SOUND - 7
The sound design in Resident Evil has always been well made, but what would you expect from an early horror title? Today's horror titles tend to lean more on shock factors and jump scares to get their players hearts beating- but back in the hay-day it was more about ambiance and atmosphere. Well, that and worrying about whether or not there might be a Green Herb around the corner that you so desperately need. It should be noted that even today while playing ANY game- not just horror titles- I'll hear that door opening sound, or the footstep that I KNOW I've heard a hundred times in these games. Lazy? I wouldn't think so. Even if they are stock sounds to some degree, Capcom has managed to use them to the best of it's capacity.
On the more musical side of things, Resident Evil 3 isn't lacking. The ambient tracks of the dead city nights, or the dark and dank dripping sewers are more than enough to make a players hairs stand on end. The music which is few and far between are sad and moody, which helps push the emotional situations in the games and make them feel a little more clear. You'd be surprised at how hard it can be to convey personal characteristics in the characters of zombie titles, especially in earlier games. It all comes to a head when you FINALLY get to that long awaited respite when the credits roll, and the final track starts playing.
ADDICTIVENESS - 7
Despite the very linear nature of Resident Evil games it would be a blatant lie to say that the games don't have any replay value. Not all, but many of the rooms and areas of the games have different combinations of enemies that might spawn per play-through. Stepping into a room where zombies bust through the windows might change to a couple of- shivers- spiders the next time you're trying your speed run. Even some of the puzzles and passwords can change up along with these enemies as well.
On top of the rooms and puzzles with built-in RNG, the absolutely unheard of number of TWO WHOLE GAME MODES actually have a lot going for them as well- Each of them still retains the random set ups previously mentioned, but they both effect game-play adversely as one might expect. Easy Mode starts the players off with a lot of freebies, from an Assault Rifle with enough ammunition to last you almost the entirety of the game to a handful of First Aid Sprays in case you make a slip up. It also comes with the handy side effect of providing the player with much more generous item drops. A hallway with 2 herbs in Hard Mode might yield 3 Green Herbs AND 2 Blue Herbs on Easy.
Hard Mode offers much more challenge to knowledgeable players than simply restricting the starting inventory to 6 slots and only giving them a handgun and a few magazines as well. Generally throughout the game you're trying to avoid the titular antagonist Nemesis, but taking him down in each encounter on Hard Mode and net the player some WELL deserved drops- including the aforementioned Assault Rifle you start with in Easy Mode.
Not enough for you? Both mods also have a NEW GAME PLUS feature which has quite a few bonuses that I don't entirely feel like spoiler here in this review- you're gonna have to face your fears and escape Raccoon City yourself to find out. Or google, that would probably help too... Okay, costumes. That's one of them. Only freebie you'll get from me though.
STORY - 9
The high score I bestow upon this Playstation 1 title is largely due to the huge canon it belongs to. The stories inherent in Resident Evil 3 do not start nor end in this game. The events, as one might expect, start in Resident Evil 1 where Jill Valentine and other members of her S.T.A.R.S. unit are called to check out weird reports surrounding the Spencer Estate just outside the city limits of Raccoon City. While in the abandoned halls of the mansion the group falls onto a deep and dark secret that incriminates not only Spencer, but many government officials in Raccoon City as well as the pharmaceutical powerhouse Umbrella Corporation.
For those who played Resident Evil 2, in which you take control of a new character Leon as he goes about his first day as a police officer in the RCPD to find that the chaos has already started, you should note that RE3 actually takes place before AND during the events of RE2. While Jill Valentine fights to escape the city while being hounded by S.T.A.R.S. hunting Nemesis, Claire and Leon are trying to escape Mr. X in a different part of the city.
Little bits of RE2's story are scattered about through RE3, whether it's large area's you'll visit or a little corpse that might be familiar to players of both games.
DEPTH - 8
On the depth of the game, there really isn't much to be said that hasn't already been stated. If you need a refresher, scroll on up and read the Addictiveness section.
As for how long the game is it depends on the playstyle and knowledge of the individual player in question. A knowledgeable player who knows the in's and out's of the game should find it relatively easy to beat the game in 3-4 hours even on the Hard Mode difficulty. However, if you're new to the title you're in for a ride- the applications in which you'll need to use items to advance can be so obtuse yet so disarmingly simple that it's a wonderful challenge for anyone who thinks puzzle games are above them.
Difficulty - 9
As mentioned before, the game offers two modes which are VASTLY different. Easy mode is laughable when you know what you're doing. You generally won't even need to waste half the ammo you start with as long as you can zig, zag, juke and jive through the enemies in the streets. Even if you slip up and get hurt you won't feel it too harshly since there's Green Herbs and FIrst Aid Sprays aplenty to take advantage of.
Hard Mode however, can get a little dicey- You don't have infinite Ink Ribbons, which means your saves are in fact numbered. And since you don't star with enough ammunition to arm a small militia, you really have to work on your dodging skills or your knife skills and make every single shot count until late game- you'll definitely need the ammo later on.
