Introduction ======================================================================= This isn't a full walkthrough for Resident Evil Zero. It is only a Boss FAQ. This FAQ is filled with detailed strategies about beating the various bosses found in Resident Evil Zero. If you need walkthrough help, go seek out one of the various walkthroughs available on the internet. These tips are also far more detailed than the ones in my traditional Resident Evil Zero walkthrough. The only sites that may host this guide are: www.gamefaqs.com faqs.ign.com www.neoseeker.com www.gamespot.com www.new-blood.com ======================================================================= 2. Boss # 1: Giant Scorpian ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca DIFFICULTY: Easy LOCATION: Train Car (Upper Floor) ==================== FIGHTING THE MONSTER ==================== Hopefully, whoever you're using (preferrably Billy) will have the Hunting Gun. Fire two shells into the creature as it approaches the character. Then, manually reload the gun through the item screen and continue firing. You might only have 8 or so shells. Equip the Handgun once the Hunting Gun is empty, and fire around 10-15 more bullets to kill it. It might land a cheap shot at the character throughout the battle, but the damage shouldn't be heavy (unless you're Rebecca, in which case, use a Green Herb when hit). It'll eventually die, but do not get to close as it spasms, or it will hit the character. Wait until the creature stops moving for you to pass by it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 3. Boss # 2: Giant Centipede ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER: Billy DIFFICULTY: Medium LOCATION: Marcus Mansion ==================== FIGHTING THE MONSTER ==================== Rebecca will be captured by the creature, so take the Hunting Gun, and like the Giant Scorpian, shoot and manually reload. Hopefully you've found more ammo for it. Keep your distance, because it'll take a while for Rebecca to even get killed (if she does get killed, it's never happened to me). The Handgun is the perfect backup, but you may have also found the Grenade Launcher by now, which is a perfect and powerful weapon capable of taking the centipede out. If you fire from a distance, this boss will never hit you, but for cases such as using the Grenade Launcher for close combat, it might land a few light hits. Occasionally, it'll land that irritatingly strong hit which Billy should heal from. Otherwise, this boss isn't too bad. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 4. Boss # 3: Giant Bat ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca DIFFICULTY: Medium LOCATION: Chapel ==================== FIGHTING THE MONSTER ==================== It is preferred you have Billy fight the battle. He has more stamina, and better gun aim. This boss appears after visiting the chapel save room. Take the Shotgun out, and shoot. It's widespread bullets offer up a great chance of shooting the giant bat or its small children. The frustrating part of this battle is that in aiming, you must be quick to shoot or else you'll likely miss. Also, it is frustrating because the creature is hard to see with the pre-rendered camera angles (beauty has its consequences). Try to stay in one place, where you can hopefully see the bat, and shoot. The Grenade Launcher is also a powerful weapon, with the Napalm or normal Grenade Rounds, but the range of the weapon isn't the best ever, but it does take its toll on the bat. The bat will, very often, swoop down and hit Billy/Rebecca. These hits are actually powerful, so make sure whoever you're using has a decent amount of health items, especially with Rebecca. Good luck with this boss battle; a good eye and quicking aiming and firing abilities are good traits to have against the bat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 5. Boss # 4: Proto Tyrant ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER: Rebecca DIFFICULTY: Medium LOCATION: Birkin's Lab ================= FIGHTING THE BOSS ================= Rebecca's alone, but as long as she has the Magnum which she should have found in the cable car, she can take this boss out. Have Rebecca shoot the Tyrant after it introduces itself, but keep her far away from it in any direction. Watch out for its swiping attacks. Rebecca might run out of Magnum ammo if her shots aren't too clean, but a weapon as weak as the Handgun or maybe even the Custom Handgun can definitely clean up after. However, the Grenade Launcher with acid rounds is recommended as a backup. Historically (even though Zero is the very first chapter in the RE series), Tyrants don't enjoy acid rounds and this Tyrant is no different. The Tyrant eventually should fall, and the elevator should reach Birkin's lab, allowing Rebecca to reach the Marcus Mansion again, or the Treatment Facility. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 6. Boss # 5: Proto Tyrant (2) ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca DIFFICULTY: Medium LOCATION: Treatment Plant ================= FIGHTING THE BOSS ================= With two characters, the Proto Tyrant is an easy boss to defeat. Just arm Rebecca with the Shotgun or Grenade Launcher while Billy takes control of the Magnum, and just shoot away. Two weapons should put this monster down in about 20 or 30 seconds. Run to the end of the room with the ladder if the Proto Tyrant comes close to swiping any of the characters, especially the weaker Rebecca. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 7. Boss # 6: Marcus Queen ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca DIFFICULTY: Easy LOCATION: Marcus Room ================= FIGHTING THE BOSS ================= This boss isn't too hard at all. Arm them both with powerful weapons and just shoot the evil creature. It might land a hit on either character, but nothing a Green Herb can't heal. After about 40 seconds of consecutive shooting, the boss should fall. If you are having difficulty against this boss, it's highly recommend you trek back through the Treatment Plant and the Marcus Mansion to look for any ammo you may have left behind. But this creature isn't hard at all, so just shoot, dodge and land strong, clean hits. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 8. Boss # 7: Marcus Queen (2) ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Part One CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca DIFFICULTY: Easy LOCATION: Final Room ================= FIGHTING THE BOSS ================= Just spend one minute or two unloading any ammo you might have on the queen. Make sure Rebecca's using something like the Handgun because she won't need a weapon after this battle. Popular candidates for this battle are the Shotgun and Grenade Launcher, because they deal the damage. The Magnum should be saved for the next boss fight. This boss isn't too difficult, but you should stay clear of its tackle and acid attacks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Part Two CHARACTER: BILLY DIFFICULTY: HARD LOCATION: Final Room ============= THE 1ST VALVE ============= Rebecca will not be fighting in this boss fight, so it's all up to Billy. Run down from where Rebecca is, and unload any weapon Billy might have (preferrably the Magnum). Keep shooting so the queen is pushed back, giving Rebecca the proper space to turn the valve. The queen will likely take a hit at Billy, but mash the GameCube controller so he gets back up quickly. Keep shooting, and Rebecca should eventually turn the valve. ============= THE 2ND VALVE ============= Now, run to the left a bit, and start shooting the queen again. Rebecca will run for the next valve, which ever is clear from the queen. Billy might be out of bullets for his most powerful weapon, but if he has the Custom Handgun, it will be a good candidate. Don't worry about wasting bullets during this boss right. Just continue shooting the queen. If you distract the queen long enough, Rebecca should finish with the second valve. She'll move on to the third set, which is by a set of stairs, most likely. ============= THE 3RD VALVE ============= Rebecca will probably go up a set of steps, but if she doesn't, it doesn't matter. Continue the onslaught on the queen, avoiding it and protecting Rebecca. Billy might be out of ammo by now, but if he isn't, then just keep unloading. If the queen gets too close, go to the other side of the room and fire with a long range weapon to distract the queen (like with the Shotgun). Rebecca should finish this set of valves. ============= THE 4TH VALVE ============= By now, your onslaught should slow the queen down a little bit, but do not stop shooting. If Rebecca has a weapon in her inventory, take it from here now and keep shooting. I hate to be repetitive, but it's the strategy you must stick to. Lure the queen away from Rebecca, and the final valve should finally be turned. The boss right ends in a cut- scene. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 9.
