Zombies
Run by when you can but otherwise just shoot them. The pistol should be enough in most cases. For crowds of them, you might use the Shotgun, Bow Gun, or Grenade Launcher.
A tip for when a zombie is advancing at you too fast, shoot a pistol shot low and often he will trip backwards. This will give you time to kill him and maybe save you from a bite. Another tip is when a zombie falls, put a bullet in him to kill him, don't wait for him to get up because he'll regain some strength that way.
Lickers
Think Shotgun, Magnum, or Grenade Launcher, aimed low. If you can, wait until it comes close and you can knock them out with one well-aimed acid round. If one tries to leap at you, shoot it with a big gun in the air and it will get knocked down.
Spiders
Don't shoot them ever. Why bother? Just run past them and they'll hardly ever hurt you. The most that will happen is they'll spit some poison at you. All you do then is find a blue herb and use it. A tip for inventory space-saving is never to carry a blue herb with you. If you're a cautious person, mix it with a green, and carry that. But carrying one alone is useless since they are always some lying around wherever poisonous creatures are located.
The Sewer Creature
Use the Shotgun or Grenade Launcher on him. He's pretty easy but his little larvae are tough since they too small to shoot at. A trick I found is that if you bring the big creature down, exit the room, and then come right back in. You'll find all larvae gone, along with the big creature as well.
William Birkin
Use your biggest weapons on him and never let him corner you. The toughest he gets is when Claire fights him on the tractor lift in the B Scenario. You should run around him and think more defensively than worrying about shooting. Use a big gun and fire when you get a chance and he'll go down easily. William's final mutation is when he becomes a blob in the B Scenarios. He may look big then, but he's actually the easiest here because he can't attack you from afar. In that battle don't bother dodging him, just unload on him with whatever you have left and he'll die easily.
Big Guy
Big Guy is the bio-weapon air dropped by Umbrella in the B Scenarios. He is actually a Tyrant from the original Resident Evil. You'll meet him throughout the police station but never waste ammo on him. Squeeze by him, even if you take a hit. If you don't want to do this, you should start shooting with your best weapon and don't stop until he stops walking towards you. Then he just will keel over. Check his body for ammo. The type of ammo will be what you killed him with. A note for playing with Claire is that never use the Grenade Launcher using Grenade Rounds because he'll beat you to death. Also never use the bow gun because he takes more shots to kill him (about 36) then most people carry. Finally, when you encounter him when trying to leave on the train, give some Magnum or Acid Rounds quickly, then dodge his powerful attacks. Don't let this guy corner you or you'll be killed easily. When Ada tosses you the rocket launcher, hurry up and let him have it. It's exactly like the first game.
Dogs
Shoot them with your weapon of choice, wait until they get up and growl, then fire again. When they yelp loud, they've died. A good tip: In the alley where the dogs hop down at you and there is a manhole at the end, don't stay and fight the dogs. When they jump down, run for the manhole and go down. When you come up, they'll be in a better position to kill.
Crows
Just run by these whenever possible because firing at them only makes them much more aggressive.
Mothra
This big moth in the Umbrella Labs is fairly easy. Just use the Shotgun or Grenade Launcher on him until he collapses. His little larvae that accompany him are even easier. Just use the pistol or your feet to squash them.
Plants
Not very tough, just give them one or two shotgun shells or flame rounds, and he'll go down without a fight. Watch their corpses though, because they have a tendency to whip you after dying.
Sewer Gator
This guy may look tough, but he's easy. Don't use weapons on him because he can't be killed that way. I once unloaded an entire clip of machine gun into him when I first played the game and he didn't die. Then I found out how to really kill him. When he throws you back, run down the hall until you see a red light on the wall. Hit X on it and a tank will fall out. Now run for cover. The gator will pick it up in his mouth and when he comes around the corner, shoot him with the pistol once and watch the show. |
