Resident Evil's page

  1. The Arklay Mountains

    You were either Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield, a member of Raccoon City's S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. In July 1998, you searched the Arklay Mountains for Bravo Team, missing while investigating grisly killings. Infected dogs attacked, and pilot Brad Vickers fled in the helicopter. You took shelter in the Spencer Mansion with captain Albert Wesker.

  2. Spencer Mansion

    You found a zombie feeding on Bravo Team's Kenneth Sullivan. The mansion offered no safety: locked doors, traps, and infected creatures divided its rooms. Your chosen character determined your partner. As Jill, you worked with Barry Burton; as Chris, you met Bravo medic Rebecca Chambers. You searched for your scattered teammates while records revealed the staff's descent into sickness and violence.

  3. The Residence

    You pushed through the courtyard to the residence, where Umbrella's experiments had spread beyond human victims. Sharks occupied the flooded research area. Plant 42 had grown into a blood-drinking monster, its roots feeding from the contaminated water below. You overcame the plant and returned to the mansion, where clawed creatures called Hunters made familiar corridors dangerous again.

  4. Beneath the Grounds

    You reached the underground tunnels and found Bravo captain Enrico Marini. He warned of betrayal, but an unseen gunman killed him before he could explain. You also confronted Lisa Trevor, horribly altered by years of Umbrella experiments. You faced her beneath the mansion before opening the way into its hidden laboratory.

  5. Umbrella's Laboratory

    You uncovered Umbrella's biological weapons research and the viral outbreak behind the mansion's horrors. Wesker had served Umbrella and used S.T.A.R.S. to test its creatures against trained soldiers. On Jill's route, Barry's involvement came from threats against his family. You faced Umbrella's huge humanoid weapon, the Tyrant, and brought it down in the laboratory. Escape still lay above you.

  6. The HelicopterThe ending

    You reached the helipad, and Brad returned to carry you away. Your actions determined which companions escaped with you. They also determined whether the self-destruct sequence began, bringing another Tyrant fight and the mansion's destruction, or whether the facility and Tyrant remained. You left the mountains alive, knowing Umbrella had built the horrors and your own captain had betrayed the team.
