Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

The game uses a third-person view with pre-rendered backgrounds as players explore streets, police-adjacent areas, and industrial locations across Raccoon City. The core loop involves scavenging ammo, herbs, and key items, solving environmental puzzles, and deciding when to fight or flee under severe resource constraints. It adds a 180-degree quick turn, dodge mechanics, and a live selection system that can alter encounters, routes, and endings.

Jill Valentine

The protagonist, a S.T.A.R.S. member trying to survive the outbreak and escape Raccoon City.

Nemesis

A bio-weapon deployed by Umbrella that relentlessly hunts Jill throughout the game.

Carlos Oliveira

A U.B.C.S. mercenary who helps evacuate civilians and partners with Jill.

Mikhail Victor

The leader of the U.B.C.S. squad who tries to coordinate rescue efforts.

Save heavy weapons and high-damage ammo for Nemesis and other tough enemies. Avoid unnecessary fights with regular zombies whenever possible, and use corridors and door transitions to create distance. Mix herbs efficiently, preferably green+green or green+red combinations, and keep health high for surprise encounters. When Nemesis appears, look for attack windups, punish his recovery frames, or simply disengage if the fight is not mandatory.

Clearing the game can unlock extra modes and costumes, depending on the ending and completion conditions.

Tips and tricks

• When Nemesis appears, decide quickly whether the fight is worth taking or whether you should run.
• Use item boxes to plan ammo and healing supplies so you do not waste backtracking opportunities.
• In narrow corridors, keep moving to avoid getting boxed in by zombies.
