I need help with the original Resident Evil.

[16-bit]

I'm playing as Chris and I'm in the guardhouse. There's this room with a giant tentacle monster hanging from the sealing, I looked at playthroughs on youtube and there's supposed to be a cutscene as soon as Chris enters the room. In the cutscene Chris is supposed to get trapped and Rebbecca is supposed to come in and then leave to make some chemical that kills the tentacle monster.

I went into the room, there was a cutscene, but Chris just broke free from the monster and Rebbecca didn't come into the room.

What am I supposed to do?

IIRC you don't have to do anything here. Its optional. If you make the chemical and release it in this room it kills the roots of the plant enemy you have to fight later. If you kill the roots now the boss is easier later. Oddly enough though I don't remember the roots ever doing anything to Chris or Jill. This is the original or Directors cut?

It's the Sega Saturn version. If I try and use the chemicals, it says that Chris can't use them. How do I kill the roots? I had a friend tell me that I may need the fame thrower, but he never told me how to get it.

Hrm I think you get the Flame Thrower in the caves but I think that's after the Guard House. I've only beat the game once with Chris as I used to always play as Jill back in the day. I guess more things are different with him then I remember. I beat it on the DS with Chris actually.

[TheEdge]

I don't think it has anything to do with the flame thrower. You need to go into the guard house and open the lock to the lab. The lab room is right before the plant monster. I don't remember though if only Jill can mix the chemicals though.


If you can't do anything to the roots don't worry about it. As said above it only makes the fight easier which is debatable.

I managed to kill the plant thing, but within 10 seconds it regenerated, I have no idea what to do now...

Regenerated???

Can you be a little more specific.....Plant 42 (AKA Plant Monster) never regenerated before, when it dies, its dead for good. It should just shrivel up.

and anyone else think it's funny that Plant 42 has its root system under ground in the Aqua Ring but when you finally see it it's hanging from the ceiling?

If it has the roots in the aqua ring, then it's plant 42. I have no idea what is going on or how to beat this thing. I used to shotgun to kill it, am I supposed to use a different weapon?

Fomr on-line FAQ:

NOTE : This is worth noting that Rebecca's appearance here is
determined by what you told her when you met her for the first
time in the mansion medical room, if you told her to stay there
and dont help then she will not come and you will have to kill
the plant boss as Chris's, which gets very hard. But if you
said yes then Rebecca WILL appear, and with this root thing it
will make the boss easier.

Perhaps this will help you... if you didnt' involve rebecca from the beginning.. you on your own..with the plant

I told her to come along, and I let her play the music at the part with the piano, was there something else that she was supposed to do? Will I have to start the game over again, is this a glitch?

I'll try fighting the plant thing again, I'll see what happens.

[16-bit]

Well, it turns out that it regenerates, and then after you kill it once more it's dead for good.

Thanks guys for the help.

Np, After Rebecca played the piano did you inspect the door that opened?

I did what had to be done inside the room that opened up, but I didn't actually inspect the door.
