Resident Evil 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 04)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Resident Evil 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 04).
I am going to make it my top priority to discover what has causes
this incredibly dangerous incident. So far, I have only concluded that
the disease is not airborne.
+Reference to: Nothing really. Just intresting. Oh, and if you followed
the plot, you'll know the virus was carried by rats.
---MOTHER VIRUS REPORT 13/16
The Mother Virus was first discovered by Ozwell E. Spencer. And it was him,
who founded Umbrella Inc.. As time passed, Spencer's research was succeeded
to Dr. J. Marcus. However, Dr Marcus abused his power and had to be fired.
Following Dr. Marcus came Dr. William Birkin. Dr. Birkin's experiments delivered
many outstanding results including the T-Virus. It is presumed he will be
finishing work on the more powerful G-Virus in the near future.
Currently, research on the mother virus takes place at our laboratories all
over the world. In the near future, we hope to discover many new viruses.
+Reference to: Again, intresting tit-bits. No more, no less. And yes, more
Viruses! The H-Virus, an airborne G-Virus. That'd be nice, huh?
---CHRIS'S REPORT 14/16
Dear Chief,
Below is my account of what led up to the explosion at the mansion:
On July 23rd, S.T.A.R.S Bravo team, led by captain Marini, went to
investigate the bizarre homicides that occored in the Arklay mountains.
After contact with the team's chopper was lost, S.T.A.R.S alpha team,
lead (led, they made a typo- Ed) by Captain Wesker went in.
We found the remains of Bravo teams helicopter on the ground. After landing
we were immediately attacked by blood thirsty dogs. We later discovered these
were actually zombie dogs as they did not even feel our gunfire. After Joseph
Frost was killed, we were forced to retreat to a nearby mansion.
After further investigating the mansion, we learned it was actually a secret
laboratory of Umbrella Inc..
All researchers were turned into zombies by some type of unknown virus. We also
discovered that Umbrella was using that lab as a testing area for new Bio Organic
weapons.
We found the dead bodies of some of the Bravo team members including Enrico Marini,
Kenneth Sullivan, Forest Speyer and Richard Aiken. We believe that those Bio Organic
Weapons caused their deaths.
After that, we discovered that Captain Wesker was actually working with Umbrella and
that both Alpha and Bravo teams were being used as live test subjects for the Bio
Organic Weapons. Wesker had betrayed us!
We barely managed to survive that nightmare. However, since the mansion exploded,
there is no evidence to support our claim of Umbrella's secret lab or the Bio
Organic Weapons.
The zombie phenomenon that has been occuring in the city is extremely similar
to the zombies we saw at the mansion. We suspect that Umbrella is somehow linked
to all this.
In order to solve this mystery and put an end to the zombies that are roaming the
city, I propose we launch a formal investigation into Umbrella.
Thank you for your attention to this extremely important matter.
Chris Redfield
S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team.
+Reference to: Hmmm... Using my skill and dexterity, I concluded it's a RE reference.
Very subtle.
So, the most obvious Ex file. A synopsis of RE1. Might as well have
"RESIDENT EVIL 1 RELATED FILE!" written on it.

Hello and welcome to Raccoon City! As you will notice, our city

"And completely zombie free" or something.

13)CHARACTERS
--------------
Hey, everyone else does it, and I wanted to take the piss out of the 1 dimensional characters,
so I created this section.
SPOILERS in this section ahoy! Don't read if don't want the story spoilt (Masterpiece it is).
Please note, the scores are for the game, none of the actors have the slightest bit of
talent. Okay, they do, but they aren't Oscar material, are they?
---
Leon S. Kennedy: A police rookie, coming into Raccoon city for his first day on the job.
While reckless and brash, he is not as naive as his demeanor would suggest.
In a poor attempt at plot, falls in love with Ada Wong. Has a stupid fringe.
And the personality of a brick. And has his catchphrase: "Why does no one
ever listen to me?" *canned laughter*.
Actor's Score- **/***** He's just crap really.
---
Claire Redfield: A lighthearted, articulate, modern woman. Is in Raccon city looking for her
brother, S.T.A.R.S. member Chris. Is a bit stupid really. Sorry, she just
is.
Actor's Score- **/***** "What's the matter, *laugh* don't you trust me?" Not after that, no.
---
Ada Wong: Some woman, says she's looking for her boyfriend (some bloke called John from
RE1). Very mysterious, mainly because she reveals she's an Umbrella agent.
For some reason, falls in love with Leon, even after his not at all
patronising "Running off like that was reckless AND stupid" speech. Should
have given her a slap, the silly cow. Is now a G-Type, presumably, as she
was ressurected and had access to a G-Virus in both stories.
Actor's Score- ****/***** Nothing wrong, since she says little.
---
Sherry Birkin: An extremely annoying 12 year old, wearing very trendy gear. Honest. Is
completely oblivious to anything. Keeps sitting down. Makes you bugger about
making a vaccine because she is stupid enough to get caught by daddy. Capcom,
please kill her off like Newt in Aliens.
Actor's Score- ***/***** The actor's competent. I just hate that "Claire!" she keeps saying.
---
Brian Irons: Everybody loves ol' Brian. A suspected rapist, who stuffs animals (ahem). And
wears his mother's... no, hang on.. He is mad, and is a sadist. Yes, and is
the head of the RPD. Well done Raccoon city. And then he dies. Hooray!
Actor's Score- *****/***** "Mwhaahaha, so you've made it this far..", who couldn't like that?
---
Ben Bertolucci: Some idiot who locks himself in cells. And then dies. Is a journalist, who,
instead of leaving Raccoon City, and exposing the truth out there, does it
in the place where Umbrella rules supreme. Duh!
Actor's Score- ***/***** Nice hamming it up. And the "Who the heck are you?" line is blatant
censorship.
---
Annette Birkin: A psycho, who doesn't give a toss about her daughter, and is hellbent on
finishing the G-Virus. She doesn't seem to know the equation G-Virus= Bad,
and ends up dying in 2 amusing ways. Huzzah! I like the way she calls Leon
gullible. Someone had to say it...
Actor's Score- ****/***** Not bad. Hams it up at times.
---
William Birkin: A scientist who gets about 3 lines ("Ah, my precious G-Virus. No one will take
you away from me!", "No" and "Ouchooheecrapthathurtsowowowow". And "Gawooor!"
if that counts). Strangely, instead of letting Annette treat him after being
shot, has the bright idea to inject himself with the virus, and proceeds to
smash things. Mutates at first really slowly, then really quick. I mean, you
wait days for a mutation, then 4 come along at once! For some reason, grows
enormous in about 2 minutes.
Actor's Score- *****/***** If Deigo (I remember him from the credits) does the roars that is.
---
Agent T-00: A big guy who wants attention, but everyone ignores him for the most part. The
only time anyone says something about him, is when Claire calls him "The
Monster" when he's chasing Sherry. Dies humliatingly at the end of a bazooka
and a witty one liner.
Actor's Score- *****/***** Wether it was an actor, a machine or a sound from the Sound Bank,
you gotta love that final growl when he's on fire at the end.
---
Robert Kendo: Okay, he dies within the first two minutes, but this guy's great. I love his
"I ain't got no clue darlin'". Then he dies. And wastes a bullet. Moron.
Actor's Score- ****/***** As I said, he's brilliant.
---
Dying cop: If we're gonna have Kendo, we might as well have this guy. The guy played
this guy is Mr. Cheese, with more ham than a butcher's shop. "Urrghhhhhh..
oh, it's you..."
"Now go!" *Extremely long gap* "but" *Yet another gap* "Just go!". That bit
stinks of missed cues.
Actor's Score- *****/***** His cheesiness gets him 5 stars!

14)COMPLETELY POINTLESS OBSERVATIONS
-------------------------------------
I'll keep this short, since I don't want to be accused of needless KB to
make my FAQ bigger, but here are some things I noticed about RE2 you might
find intresting. Or you might say "What a load of rubbish" and leave and
go and read something else more intresting, like a dictionary or War and
Peace- The Director's Cut. Some Spoilers Here.
----
The police station is very realistic isn't it? Car parks, waiting rooms,
offices and kennels. But what about TOILETS? Do the police of Racoon city
not go to the bog at work? The place also has only one fax machine! Hmm..
Notice how many times Leon and Claire come across phones, but when you check
them, they are "useless"? Calling in the military might be a good idea.
The characters don't care much for human life do they? Does anyone care when
Ben dies? Do they throw up at the sight of his horiffic dismeberment? Do they
buggery. And Sherry walks straight past the grisly corpse of Chief Irons.
Disgusting...
You can see T-00 written on the side of the pod when the Tyrant is dropped. Note
there are around 6 pods altogether. So, maybe the Tyrant Hunk encounters isn't
the same one as our heroes do. Come to think of it, how do we know that's the same
T-00 in B? Arrgh! There must be loads! I'm surprised there aren't any T-00's in
RE3.
Okay, okay. Many people told me there is a T-00(3) in RE3, but Matt Collareda
sent three occurences of T-00s.
"In the final battle with Nemisis, as soon as you enter
the room, turn left. There's one in it's clawed, no
trench coat for dead in the wall.
Directly opposite it, dead in the other wall, is a
second T-00, in it's trenchcoat form.
Finally, there is one dead in front of the rail cannon
in it's trench coat form.". Well there you are.
You can see T-00's heart beating under the flames (Reference to RE1).
Watch some of the bosses after they die. The spawn of William is paticulary intresting.
Recognize anyone's voice? Well, nearly all the cast were in Free Willy (the cartoon,
not the film). If you did recognize them from that, then I think you are rather sad.
Leon voiced Willy y'know. And did "additional voices" in X-Men.
Want to know more? Probably not, but if you are a bit bored, go to: If you wonder how I found that, I was seeing
if the RE movie had an entry. It didn't. Development hell, then.

READER COMMENTS
Well, many people also share my fascination for RE2's various plot holes,
so sent in their own picky comments/observations. Here are a few:
CrAzY_CloWnZ@aol.com wrote:
-When you play the first scenario and you meet Claire(or Leon I guess)
in the S.T.A.R.S. room...why do they split up? Personally I think that
is just dumb. You'd think they would want to stick together. Come to
think of it...who cares about survivors? Neither character has a reason
to stay any longer. Claire knows her brother skipped town, and obviously
Leon has no hopes of being a cop any more. But then if they just left
there would be no game...oh well.
-Why do they even give you a knife? Why not a baseball bat or crowbar? A
board with a nail in it would be better than the knife! (Because they'll make
bigger boards with bigger nails, and they'll make a board with a nail in it so
big, it will destroy them all!- Ed)
Ian Davidson wrote:
In RE2 the american flag hung in the police office (the room with all the chairs
with the small room in back with a fire place in it. you get the red jewel
there I think) is hung upside down on the pole. The stars part is the
unattached part and the striped part is the hooked to the pole.
Also in the room that has the small room with the safe and the dead guy on
the ground in the hallway in the back hallway of the office (the dead guy is
near the door that leads to the stairs outside that go 2 the second floor),
well the major room has a burger king (or kong is what it looks like) box on
the table.
DTM357@aol.com sent a metric assload of stuff:
1: The "gremlins" from the generator room in RE1 aren't mentioned in Jill's
report.
2: In the scene from Leon A when Ada is shot, she falls off the walkway with
her gun. Yet after the scene, it's sitting there on the walkway.
3: There are 5 desks in the Stars office. For Wesker, Barry, Chris, Jill and
Rebecca. Yet as I recall, there was a 6th member of the Alpha team in RE1
(mauled in the beginning movie by dogs) and an entire Bravo team. As there
are no more doors in the police station, where is their office?
4: How can an alligator that big live in a room that small that's only
waist-deep at most? (Never mind that; how can alligator that big live...
period? -Ed)
5: If the city is under military quarantine, how did Claire get in?
6: Even if it was his first day, why didn't Leon know about the zombies? If
he wasn't from Raccoon, how'd he join the RPD?
7: How did the watchman die? If he shot himself, then why is his gun fully
loaded and on the night stand?
8: What happened to that guy that shot himself's shotgun he talked about? If
the zombies took it, why haven't they shot at me?
9: And last but not least, how do these people get in all of these locked
rooms? For example, how did Leon get into the locked room past the STARS
hallway when the door was locked and the other boarded up?

Top 5 Arrghhhh! Moments.
5. Slam dunkin' in at 5, when you fall through the floor in the library. Sad really, but it
made you jump the first time, admit it.
4. Coming at 4, when that Licker smashes through the ceiling glass in scenario B. Jezzumcrap!
3. Smashing straight in at 3, comes that bit where the dogs jump up against the Kennel door.
Then you kill the gets to teach 'em a lesson.
2. Slam dunkin' in at 2, when T-00 smashes through the C.Cogwheel room wall. To add insult to
injury, he smashes out AGAIN when you are running away in terror.
1. And the biggest Arrghhhh! moment is: When the Licker smashes through the magic mirror. That
scared the life out of me. I actually went arrghh! when it happened. It still makes me
jump a bit every time.

I might post some more of these, but not too many, as I don't want needless KB
in my FAQ. If you noticed something like this in RE2, mail me, and I may post it.
