Chapter 1-1: Civilian Checkpoint

All right, it seems that it is finally time to get this chapter in the Resident Evil saga underway. As the game begins, you will find yourself in the midst of an African village. There won't be any hostiles yet, so just sprint straight ahead, and it won't be long before you come across a group of villagers beating on some pour fellow. Slow down here to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. Follow the path past the thugs and sprint ahead to activate a cut scene and a check point.

Once the scene is over, sprint straight ahead towards the "Corner Pyamy Butcher". Take the path to the right when you can to the back alley. Look for a door to the left and tap the Action button a few times to kick it open. Go up to the main inside and hit the Action button to activate another scene. At the end of the first set of scenes, he will open up a briefcase for you to pick up the M92F Handgun. Do so, and go up to him again to activate the next bunch of scenes.

At the conclusion of the cut scenes, Chris and Sheva will now be fully equipped with their vests and gear. Sprint straight ahead towards the crate on the box to pick up some Gold. Now, turn left and there's a clipboard to the right that briefly details the Dying status. It is also reviewed in the Game Basics section of this FAQ, so it's entirely up to you to speculate. When you're ready, leave through the opening to your left and back outside.

Take another left past the wagon and sprint down the stairs to activate another cut scene. Sprint straight down to the dead horse and take a right into the shack. There are some skulls and candles to create a little bit of a mood for you. To the right of those skulls is another door, kick it down as per usual. Sprint towards the crate on the table to your left and knife it open for a Green Herb. There's a barrel to the left of that with some Gold.

Now take a right a little deeper into the room and turn left when you can. You'll find another Green Herb here. Combine it with the other to have a potent recovery item. Now kick open the nearby door to emerge back outside. There's another crate on the table here, so cut it open to grab some more Gold. Time to sprint straight ahead and up the stairs. There's a door to your right, hit the Partner Action Button (PA Button, O button by default). Then hit the Action button to activate another cut scene.

At the end of it, open fire on the single Majini ahead. Continue to where he was standing and turn left to see a door. Kick it open to emerge into the next room. Turn right to find some Handgun ammo on the shelf. Now turn left and sprint straight towards the window. Jump through with the Action button to take a dive back outside. Turn around and you should see some boxes by the wall. Turn right and sprint down the path ahead. Take another right when you can to activate another cut scene.

After the scene concludes, make a Quick Turn and immediately begin your sprint. Make your way out of the alley and into the door up ahead. Once inside, go down the small stairs and take a left to activate a cut scene. In the north corner of the room is a standard Grenade. There's another Green Herb on the shelf to the left. Turn around and go straight towards the metal door. Hit the Action Button and tell you that you can't kick it down. Now the PA Button should be prompted, so hit that to kick the door down with Sheva.

Once in the next room, take a right towards the three barrels in the corner. Do some slicing and dicing to pick up the N 100 Gold, N 200 Gold, and some Machine Gun Ammo. Now make a Quick Turn and go straight towards the little hole on the ground and jump through. Run straight ahead and take a left down the hallway. Continue past the skeleton in the next room to find another hallway. Sprint straight ahead to the ladder and climb up using the Action Button. There are two Handgun Ammo on the shelf ahead, as well as another Green Herb to the right of that. Hit the Action Button, then the PA Button to activate a loading screen.

If you've played the demo, you should recognize that you are now in the stage called Public Assembly. There are some subtle differences (which I'll point out), but for the most part it's the same. Anyway, make your way down the hill and pick up the Green Herb on the table. Then go into the shack to activate the cut scene (hit Select to skip if you wish). When the scene is over, either tell Sheva to push the shelves to block the window and door or do it yourself.

Now make your way to the television set and pick up the Handgun ammo on the table. Go around and collect the rest of the stuff around the room by slicing the fruit, chopping up the crates, etc. It won't be long now until the Majini break down the shelf. Open fire on them through the window or let some of them pour through so you can use your melee attacks. Just spend the next few minutes fending off the Majini until the second cut scene initiates.

Just stay put for a while and our friend, the Executioner should make his way inside. You won't have your Shotgun this time around, so taking him out won't be as easy. So for now, just sprint through the big hole he opened up. Sprint straight ahead to the locked gate. To the right is a briefcase containing the Vz.61. Now head up the stairs directly across. Jump across a platform to find a Green Herb. If you continue jumping to the long platform to the left, you will find a crate with Gold on some tires. The name of the game is just to survive for the next few minutes. I wouldn't recommend engaging the Executioner unless you really feel like it. Otherwise, just keep running around and taking out the Majini as you see them. When Kirk arrives with the air support, the chapter will be over.
