Chapter 1-1 Jul 15, 2009

Meeting the contact


Move to the butcher shop in the back of town. You'll meet your BSAA contact inside.

After watching the intro cinematic, move forward along the path towards the butcher shop. If at anytime you become lost, open your map (R2 button on PS3, RB on Xbox 360) and your next goal will be highlighted. Enter the door on the right side of the building to meet up with your contact.


The case contains basic equipment such as hand guns and knives.

After a short cut-scene, open up the case on the table. It contains two M92F handguns, one each for Chris and Sheeva. Equip the guns and move left towards the exit. Walk down the stairs ahead and enter the building on the right.


Break boxes to discover free items.

Inside will be several crates and barrels. Break these containers with your knife to receive random ammo, herbs, or money. There will also be other consistent items in plain sight. Exit the building through the door ahead, walk up a flight of stairs, and enter the door to the next zone.

The Infected Majini


Collect herb and ammo in the first house. You'll soon meet the first Majini in the next house.

After a short scene, you'll encounter the first enemy: an infected Majini. The basic Majini can only use grapple attacks, so it's safe to stand back and shoot him until he's defeated. The grapple attack will not damage you at all unless you fail to shake them off. Try to aim for the head, as it’s the most vulnerable. You can also rely on your knife or converse time by not killing the enemy. Ammunition is very limited, so running from normal enemies is a viable tactic.


Find the window and breakthrough to reach the level below.

Regardless if you fight or flee, proceed left, and locate the window. Move close to the window, a button will display on screen. Press the corresponding button to jump through the window and land in the next area.


When the swarm appears, use quick turns to make your way to the house.

Here, you'll be ambushed by a large amount of enemies. There are infinite amount of enemies here. Instead of fighting directly, it's a better strategy to run. This place is good for getting achievements (ex: cattle prod). Use quick turns (LS back while holding X on PS3/A on 360) to flip around and head in the other direction. Continue down the road and enter the building ahead. Sheeva will automatically bar the entrance, preventing the horde from following you.


Chris and Sheva must work together to open the door. Drop down the hole to continue on.

Pick up any items inside the building and move to the door on the right. This door requires both Chris and Sheeva to open it. Initiate opening the door and wait for Sheeva to assist you. In the next room, move right, and drop down through the hole below.


Make sure to collect all of the herbs around before continuing.

There will be more herbs and ammunition up ahead. Make sure you're well stocked, combine any herb you have, and give Sheeva whatever you don't need (mostly herbs). When ready, move inside the building to start a cut-scene.

Public Execution


The crowd will surround the house. Push the bookcases towards the windows to block the alternate enterances.

The infected from the cut-scene will have surrounded the building. The building has three entrances: a door and two windows. There are also bookshelves sitting next to each window. To delay the enemy advance, push the bookshelves and block the windows. This barrier is only temporary, as the Majini will eventually break through after pounding on the shelfs for ~30 seconds.


After two minutes the main gate will break open, givign you more space to fight.

After holding out for about two minutes, a large Majini with a sledgehammer will smash through the wall ahead, leading to the next area. Defeating the sledgehammer wielder will reward a unique treasure, however killing him this early on with basic handguns may be too difficult since it can instantly kill you. It's better to wait until you've acquired powerful weapons from other chapters, such as rifles or magnums (Which do six to twelve times the amount of damage of your basic M92Fs), and return to this fight later. If this is your first time through the game, keep your distance from this enemy.


Stay on the roofs to dodge the hordes of infected.

Instead of trying to kill every wave of enemy, climb the stairs and jump from roof to roof. You can also stand on a small platform and knife some if you need to. The Majini are much slower than Chris or Sheeva, making it easy to stay out of their reach. After some time you'll get a radio transmission from BSAA chopper pilot Kirk. He's flying to the rescue, but asks you to hold out a little longer. Continue evading the infected, survive for another five minutes and Kirk will arrive, ending the chapter.


Kirk will blast open an escape route.

Leaving the Town


Collect the items in the homes, and then continue to the alley.

Start the chapter by moving forward and entering the building. Inside will be several items and barrels. Grab everything inside, and exit through the rear door on the opposite end of the building. You'll encounter several Majini in the exterior alleyway. Since you're still early in the game, you may want to avoid expending ammo by resorting to killing them with your knife, or run pass them.


Assist jump Sheva and she'll grab the Old building key.

On the left side of alley is a broken ladder. You can move over to the ladder and use an assist jump (Circle button/B button) to boost Sheva to the top. She will automatically grab an Old building key, which can be used later. Continue down the alleyway and open the door to reach the next zone.

Damsel in Distress


Smash down the door to reach the next zone.

As you enter, a cut-scene will play where a young woman is seized by a Majini. Once gaining control, move up the stairs and you'll discover that the woman is already infected. Shoot her once and she'll transform into a Cephalo, a Manjini whose head and neck are replaced by a bladed tentacle. This enemy can damage you just by moving close, so try to keep your distance. One knife attack on the tentacle will kill it but it is highly risky.


The Cephalo is dangerous at close range. Move out of the building and fight from a safe distance.

Additional Majini will arrive behind you, blocking the stairs. However, you're better off getting back down to ground level. Use only enough ammo to stun the ascending enemies, and run pass them. Located to the right will be a locked building that can be opened with the Old building key. Inside the building will be an Ithaca M37, a basic shotgun. Equip this new weapon and use its powerful shots to kill the Cephalo and Majini.


There isa Ithaca M37 stored inside the Old house. When ready, enter the building where the BSAA has gathered.

Once all the enemies are defeated, move right from the area's entrance, and you'll come to a door leading to the next section.

Dead Comrades


Most of the BSAA officers are dead. Collect their ammo before moving on.

The next area is a building interior. There aren't any enemies here, only dead or dying BSAA soldiers. However, there is quite a lot of ammo and treasures lying around. The loot is random, but the game will prioritize healing items if you are injured, and ammunition for the guns in your inventory. Stock up on everything in the room, and then take the elevator on the other side. This will lead to the furnace.

THE FURNACE

This zone is also laden with dead soldiers, but they are also covered in a strange black slime. Move left down the halls, turn left and a shining Furnace key will be sitting on the ground. Before continuing, notice the large furnace in the back of the room, as well as the two gas tanks sitting near other walls. You can’t interact with them now, but they will come in handy later. Return to the entrance to encounter the end chapter boss, Uroboros.


Grab the key near the furnace. When you try to exit, Uroboros will attack.

Boss Battle: Uroboros

A short cut-scene will play introducing the boss. When the scene finishes, you’ll still be a good ways away from your enemy. Quick turn and return to the room where you picked up the Furnace key. This time, push over the gas tanks (Square button/X button). Position yourself so that one of the gas tanks is between you and the room’s entrance.

Wait for Uroboros to enter the room and move over the gas tank. When the boss comes in contact with the tank, it will temporarily latch on. Use your firearms to blowup the attached tank, causing heavy damage to Uroboros. Repeat the process with the second tank and the boss’s movement will decrease.


Slow down Oroboros with fire. With its speed reduced, trap it inside the furnace.

Now that Uroboros is slowed, move to the front of the furnace and command Sheva to man the switch (Circle button/B button). You’ll have to lure the boss into the furnace by standing inside, acting as bait. Wait for Uroboros to enter the furnace and quickly exit immediately when the doors just start to slide down. If you leave too soon, the boss will also escape, but if you delay, Sheva will end up roasting you. If you time the trap correctly, Uroboros will fry causing considerable damage and probably die.

Another quicker method is after knocking over the gas tank, wait for Uroboros in the furnace making sure to enter from the left door ( if you're facing the room). Right after he enters, shoot the gas tank, run out and hit the switch. The explosion and the subsequent stun will give you plenty of time to seal him in. You can also use the rocket launcher if you already unlock it
