Make your way down the stairs until you reach an open door on your left then follow the path until you see a blocked doorway. Simply remove the shelves by holding [X]/[A].

By removing the shelf from the doorway you’ll activate your first Boss fight in Resident Evil 2.

Boss: G (Stage 1)

(1 of 2) You’ll encounter the G Stage 1 Boss after you try to move a shelf

You’ll encounter the G Stage 1 Boss after you try to move a shelf (left), if you find yourself trapped in a corner the boss will grab you to do a powerful attack. (right)

Once you regain control you’ll need to quickly move around the arena so the boss can’t reach you with his swipe or stab attacks, you can take three or four hits from his swipe attacks before your health goes down to Caution.

Be aware of your surroundings because if you find yourself cornered the boss will do a powerful grab and stab attack, this attack will take your health down from Fine to Caution if you dont counter. You can use a grenade or the Combat Knife to counter so long as it’s equipped.

In order to defeat him you’ll need to focus fire towards his head and arm until you expose his eye, now this is the perfect opportunity to use your most powerful weapon (the Shotgun) to do a lot of damage, you’ll need to repeat this cycle three or four times until he dies.

Once you’ve climbed up the ladder you’ll find yourself in the Parking Garage that’s located at the basement of the Police Station, here you’ll need to interact with the Card Reader that’s located in the northside of the Garage. Unfortunately you don’t have a key card to allow you through.

Tyrant / Mr. X

You’ll encounter a new enemy at this point, the Tyrant, also known as Mr. X. From this point onwards your experience within Raccoon City will not be the same again, as you’ll have to be constantly watching your back making sure the Tyrant doesn’t catch up with you. Don’t worry however, there are a few things you can do to help you get past this obstacle.

  • Dealing Loads of Damage
    Whilst you’re being constantly stalked throughout Raccoon City by the Tyrant it could lead to some dangerous situtions in which you’ll need to get past the Tyrant. By dealing loads of damage to the Tyrant, you can cause him to Kneel for a short period of time, however this isn’t really a recommended strategy as it uses too much ammo and increases the chances of dying higher due to his powerful attacks.

  • Avoid Fighting
    As you explore Raccoon City the Tyrant will constantly be on lookout for you so always be ready to run to the nearest safe room or gain a large enough distance so he can’t locate you. This method is the most benefical as it saves ammo and lowers the risk of dying.

  • Areas That The Tyrant Can’t Enter
    Although exploring Raccoon City will be alot scarier now you’ve always got to be on the lookout for the Tyrant, but there are a few locations he can’t enter. The Tyrant can’t enter the Safe Rooms, the Secret Area under the Goddess Statue, the S.T.A.R.S Office and the Clock Tower.

Finally, jump over the wall to collect some Handgun Ammo off the table to the right.

With the Bejewled Box in your possession, you’ll need to combine it with the Red Jewel you found earlier, once combined you’ll receive the S.T.A.R.S Badge. Examine this and rotate it until you can interact with it, this will now turn it into a USB Dongle Key. Take this to the S.T.A.R.S Office and plug it into the computer to interact with the keyboard and unlock the gate. This will allow you to retrieve the Lighting Hawk and Letter to S.T.A.R.S Members file, retrieve the USB Dongle Key and bring it along with you before exiting.

Head back down to the Parking Garage and make your way to the Jail where you’ll trigger another cutscene. Once you reach the prisoners cell, interact with the Electronic Door Panel that’s on the wall next to it. Place both Electronic Parts on the panel and position the wiring so there are two green lights on the top right part. Walk inside the cell and collect the Parking Garage Key Card off the body and you’ll also receive the Interview Transcript.

Escape the parking garage

Beforing exiting the cell, collect Ben’s Memo from the table alongside a First Aid Spray by the toilet. Head out of the cell and interact with the lever at the end of the corridor to gain access to a different path to the garage, beware however as the Tyrant will make another appearance here.

After you’ve got past the Zombies and the Tyrant, use your Parking Garage Key Card on the Card Reader to open the gate.

Behind R.P.D

With the gate open, follow Ada until you reach Gun Shop Kendo where you’ll be able to find the Long Barrel (W-870) attachment that you can combine with your shotgun in your inventory, this will increase the magazine size of your shotgun and lower the shot spread.

Pocket the Hand Grenade from the shelf at the back of the room and then head to the northwest corner shelf to find some Handgun Ammo before heading to the northeast corner to trigger a cutscene. Follow Ada down the alley and through the tunnel until you see an opening to the right. Before you go through however, head to end of the tunnel to collect some more Handgun Ammo. You can now continue along the path until you can head left into the safe room.

Sewers Entrance

Exit the Safe room and follow the tunnel until you can see stairs to your left, grab the Handgun Ammo off the barrel and head downstairs, following the path until you drop off a ledge. You’ll encounter a massive crocodile here, simply run away and move left to right to dodge his attacks on the way down. Eventually the crocodile will get blocked off by a pipe, use this opportunity to shoot the pipe, causing it to explode and kill the crocodile.

Once the crocodile is dead, grab the Hand Grenade off the floor to your left and shoot the Raccoon that’s hiding behind all the rubbish in the southeast corner before climbing the ladder that Ada drops down for you. Follow her and enter the lift and, once opened, make your way around to the safe room to save. Open the nearby blue door to trigger a cutscene.
