Resident Evil Requiem is the latest entry in the franchise, and it has managed to satisfy the fandom. Both protagonists are lovable, especially Leon S. Kennedy. For more information, head over to its Steam page.
Now that you have completed the East Raccoon City section, you are in the endgame. The next sections are not going to be that long, so get ready for more action. You will also learn more about the lore now and what Elpis is. In this guide, I will provide walkthroughs of the last three sections: Raccoon City Center, Orphanage, and Ark in Resident Evil Requiem.
Table of contents
Raccoon City Center Walkthrough – Search For Grace
Your first objective in the Resident Evil Requiem Raccoon City Center area will be to search for Grace. Just follow the path ahead, and you will reach the RPD in no time. Open the main gate and enter. Once you are inside, a cutscene will commence. When the cutscene is over, you will get the objective to head to the East Office.
Head To The East Office
You cannot open any of the shutters for now, so while facing the stairs, head left. There will be a room you can enter. Follow the path ahead, and eventually you will see a hallway. Go ahead, and a zombie will appear. Defeat the zombie, head left, shoot down the ladder, and climb it.
Inside the library, you will find the Mechanic Jack, which will let you open the shutters. Then exit the library, head right, and enter the room at the end of the path. There is a puzzle inside that you can solve to get a charm for Requiem. The code for the briefcase is RRR.
After that, head back to the main area, and there will be a shutter at the top left corner. Head there and open it using the Mechanic Jack. Follow the path ahead, and a cutscene will commence. As the cutscene continues, you will be back in 1990 and play as Chloe, a clone of Grace.
Raccoon City Orphanage Walkthrough – Look Around The Orphanage
Do note that the Raccoon City Center section is not over yet, as the Orphanage section takes place in the past and occurs while this section is still in progress in the present. Your first objective will be to look around the orphanage. There will be a couple of things you can interact with. Once you are done, head to the door, go out, and head toward the open door to the right.
As you go there, a cutscene will commence, and once it ends, you will get the objective of hiding from the children.
Hide From The Children
Run back to your room and then hide under the bed on the northeast side. Once the children go away, crawl out and head back inside the other room. From there, head left and open the door. Then head down the stairs and hide under the table in the right corner.
Wait for the children to go away and then crawl out to head straight. Follow the path ahead, and two of the children will be guarding the door. You cannot go through that door even while crouching. So what I did was aggro them and run toward the table and hide under it.
You probably do not have to aggro them. Just hide under the table again and come back. Go through the door, follow the path ahead, and then head right. Open the drawer to climb up and get the hatch key. Then, as you head to the hatch, the children will appear, so run in the opposite direction and hide behind the boxes.
Escape From The Children
Wait for the children to go away and then open the hatch to go down. Follow the path ahead, and a door will eventually open. You need to climb the ladder to escape, but that is not possible, at least for now. Inside, there will be a lever. Pull it down to open a gate. Head inside it and then pull a casket from the right side to climb up.
Vault over to the other side and pick up the Fire Poker. Then open the gate, and a cutscene will commence. Once the cutscene is over, run toward the ladder, and you will reach the research facility. The path is pretty straightforward, so keep going ahead, and eventually you will come into a room with a projector.
Interact with the remote to change slides, and then a cutscene will commence. With that, the Orphanage section in Resident Evil Requiem will be over, and you will be back in the present.
Continuing Raccoon City Center Walkthrough – Escape RPD
Mr. X, or the Super Tyrant, is back in this game, and you have to escape the RPD because of this monstrosity. As you go ahead, Mr. X will break the wall, and when that happens, instantly turn and run. Follow the path ahead, and the tyrant will break another wall.
Then head right and let it follow you. After that, run toward the left side and head up the stairs. As you go ahead, Mr. X will break the wall using a lethal object, so run back to the stairs. Then head back and escape from the left side. After that, a cutscene will commence, and your objective will be updated.
Head To The Orphanage\
Head out of the RPD, and your objective to escape it will be cleared. Then head right and enter the building on the left side. Follow the path ahead, and a cutscene will commence. Once the cutscene is over, exit the building, and ahead, there will be some items along with the laptop for you to save the game.
Your fight with Mr. X is about to come, so make sure your armor is repaired, and you have made all of the necessary upgrades. Then go ahead, and a cutscene will commence.
Defeat Mr. X
When the cutscene is over, you will have to face Mr. X. As the fight begins, start shooting its heart, and when the monster comes close to you, parry it using L1 or LB. After parrying, make sure to sharpen your hatchet. Then keep on firing until it is ready for the next attack.
Do note that Mr. X can also throw a car toward you. You can dodge that by simply running in the opposite direction from where the car is being thrown. Also, there is a combo you should be aware of. When in close quarters, the tyrant will do a three-hit combo, so do not just start attacking after parrying once.
The cue for this combo is that Mr. X will swing its arm. This combo can also stop at the second hit. I shot this monster with the pistol, shotgun, and the sniper rifle. I also used Requiem, as that staggered the tyrant. Upon staggering it, you will be able to use the hatchet to deal quite a lot of damage.
When the monster jumps on you, that attack does not seem to be parried. So instead, run away and start shooting. Eventually, the tyrant will go down, and once that happens, go back to repair your armor and continue toward the orphanage.
Explore The Orphanage
Once you reach the orphanage, head down and keep following the path ahead. It will not be complicated at all, and eventually, you will reach the area with a giant train acting as a bridge. Head inside the train and keep going ahead. Eventually, a plant monster will attack you, and a few good shots at the center will take it down.
After you have taken down the monster, a cutscene will commence featuring the train falling. Once you fall, slide down, head inside the train, get out of the other side, enter another train, again get out of the other side, pick up the items inside the box, and then head down using the rope.
Once you have reached the bottom, go ahead and defeat some plant monsters. Keep your torch on and look for their roots on the ground. As you reach too close, you will get attacked. You can shoot the roots to aggro the monster earlier. Keep following the path ahead while defeating the monsters, and eventually you will reach a pretty wide area.
There will be two more plants, but they will be a little different. The head of the one at the right will be at the middle right side, and the head of the one on the left will be quite visible. Shoot both of them and go ahead. As you move forward, two more will appear, so take them down, and then a pretty giant plant will appear.
Defeat The Giant Plant
You need to shoot the middle section of this plant repeatedly, but do note that you will be getting attacked quite often. So do not just focus on shooting. Run around the area so you do not get hit, and do not blindly run around. Focus on where the roots are going to smash and then move to the other side.
You will have plenty of time to shoot the main head, so focus on dodging, too. After shooting the main head for a little while, a box full of explosives will open. Shoot the explosives to take care of the giant plant. Then head forward and interact with the lever. With that, the Raccoon City Center section of Resident Evil Requiem will be over, and the Ark section will start.
Ark Walkthrough
Once the cutscene is over, go ahead, head inside through the green door, follow the path ahead, and then head left. This is the staff room, so once you have saved your game or made the necessary upgrades, head out and go straight. Head downstairs, enter the room, and then enter another room to the north.
Inside, you will find a tracking module, so after picking it up, interact with the system, and a cutscene will commence. Once the cutscene is over, some elite guards will come inside the previous room as you head out.
Eliminate The Elite Guards
Do not take these guards lightly, as they are very strong and can take you out in no time. Try to hide behind objects and take out at least one stealthily. Then use your shotgun to eliminate the other two. Defeating them here should not be a problem unless they all attack you together, which will not happen unless you stay defenseless in the open.
After defeating them, head out of the room and enter the one on the right. Inside, there are going to be many elite guards, so take out your rifle and take cover. Eliminate a few using the rifle and then head right to go above the stairs. You can blow up the gas cylinder for a smoke screen.
Once you are at the top, take care of the remaining enemies, and once you have defeated them all, a few more will appear. Stay in cover and take out the two without a shield. Then focus on the one who has a shield and use the shotgun. Two shots should be enough to stun him, so when that happens, use the hatchet to deal the final blow.
Then exit through the door, and on the left, upstairs, is the staff room. To make progress, head right and as you are going ahead, a commander enemy will appear.
Eliminate The Commander
Once the cutscene is over, you will have to face the commander in battle. He will parry almost all of your melee attacks, so you should do the same. After parrying, instantly attack him, as this is the best way to deal damage. When he does a wide swing, he may follow it up with another attack.
He also has a three-strike combo where he will do the first two attacks quickly and delay the third one. Parrying this enemy is not very hard, so whenever you parry, make sure to deal damage using the hatchet. Once you have dealt enough damage, the enemy will blow up the gas cylinder, and the whole room will be filled with smoke.
You will still be able to see the enemy, so when he runs away, throw a grenade toward him. However, do note that when he creates distance, he will use a gun. So do not leave cover, or if you do leave cover, make sure you use a gun to shoot him first. Eventually, he will go down, and after defeating him, you will get a new hatchet called Mortal Eagle.
Then head back up and follow the path ahead, and a cutscene will commence.
Find A Way Out Of This Dump
When the cutscene is over, your objective will be to find a way out of this dump. You will now be playing as Grace, so go ahead, and when you reach the end, a cutscene will commence, and Leon will push Grace up.
Then head forward, go down, then up the stairs, and there will be a control panel. You need a key to access it, and opposite to it on the wall is another key you need. That key requires this control panel to be activated, so let us find the override key first.
Find The Override Key
Follow the path ahead, and you will find the room where you can save your game and store items. Then head right, go through the door, and enter through the door at the top left. You will then notice a licker on the glass ahead, but do not worry. They are not a threat as long as you do not make any noise.
Crouch and go through the area, and then head into the room to the left. On the left side is a door you can open for a shortcut to the safe room in case you are opting for the stealth approach. You can also eliminate the lickers by using the Hemolytic Injectors.
Now, instead of going left, head right and then take another right. Inside the room, you can find the key along with two bottles of acid. You can use a bottle of acid to eliminate a licker. Also, note that there is a zombie inside, so make sure you are crouching when you enter.
The override key will be on the north-west side of the area. Pick that up and then head back to the control panel and put it inside. After that, pick up the magnetic key.
Use The Magnetic Key To Open The Gates
Now there are two gates you can open using this key. The first one is where the safe room is, and the other one is inside the room from where you went right to get the key. So head inside the one that is in the safe room, and then you will need to find a way to open the door in the north.
Find A Way To Open The Door
To do that, head left and enter the room to your left. There is a recipe for bottles of acid, which will let you craft them now. Then head out and take a left. Go down the stairs, and this is now going to be a complete stealth section. There are going to be lickers as well as other zombies.
The zombies can spot you easily, so you can shoot them and run upstairs. However, that is risky as zombies are not that visible from near the stairs. Inside the containers, you can find some loot, so make sure to get whatever is easier for you to pick up. You can also throw an empty bottle toward the zombie, which will cause the licker to go there and attack.
This will also cause other lickers nearby to gather there, so you can throw a bottle of acid there to eliminate a few of them together. Then, on the other side, head up the stairs, and you will find the Noblesse Orb inside a case. Now you need to find the other orb.
Finding The Other Orb
You now need to head back to the safe room, but do note that along the way, you will encounter more lickers. So the best way is to sneak past them. Along the way, place the orb in its designated slot and then head to the other door and open it using the magnetic key.
The other orb will be right ahead inside the case, so take it out, and you are good to go. As you take out the Animus Orb, three zombies will enter the room. I had a molotov so I used that on them, but you can also use a bottle of acid if you have a spare one. It is not necessary to defeat them, as you can simply make them come toward you from the right side and then escape from the left side.
Now head back and insert the second orb. With that, the door will open, so head straight and examine the area. Then a cutscene will commence, and after that, you will play as Leon.
Playing As Leon
Use the ladder to go up, head inside the room, loot everything, follow the path ahead, and defeat the zombies. Go ahead, and you will find the area to save your game. From there, head out, go left, and enter. You need to enter through the gate on your right, and for that, a key is required.
Find The Override Key
From this room, head left, and there are going to be quite a few lickers that you can defeat easily with Leon. Use the submachine gun or the shotgun to take care of all of the lickers and then head down. You can drop down by going to the very end of the path and then moving to the left side.
Loot every container and then use the control panel to open up a way for you. Then head through the door and use the control panel on the left side. Inside, there will be two lickers, so make sure you defeat them first. After that, head to the open path and go up the stairs to enter the room where the override key is.
Pick up the key and head back to insert it. As you insert it, an elevator will arrive, but during that time, many lickers will come inside the room. Use the explosive cylinders to take them out and then shoot down the remaining ones. After that, a wave of zombies will come, but it will not be anything you cannot deal with.
Once the elevator arrives, head inside, and when it reaches where Elpis is, follow the path, and a cutscene will commence. When the cutscene ends, you will play as Grace.
Go To Leon
Now, as Grace, while facing away from the system, head through the door at the north east side. Then go through another door and make your way around the room to go up using the elevator. Then go ahead and interact with Leon, and a cutscene will commence.
During the cutscene, you will be given an option to make an important decision. I recommend going with the second option, Release Elpis, as that is the true ending. Destroying Elpis is not worth it, so I highly recommend choosing the right option. As I chose the right one, I will continue with that.
When the cutscene ends, you will have to face the final boss, Gideon.
Defeat Victor Gideon
There are going to be a total of three phases in this boss fight, but it is not going to be extremely brutal. It will be a challenging fight, but there will not be any gimmicks. Fight Gideon normally during the first phase, as there will not be much going on.
You can parry his left arm attacks easily, just like you did with Mr. X. So, simply shoot him while parrying, and his second phase will begin shortly.
Second Phase
During the second phase, he will channel electricity through the area and shoot it toward you. The best way to avoid getting hit by it is by moving to either the right side or the left side. After that, Gideon will slam the ground. You will see the radius of the slam, so it is easy to move out of the way.
Gideon will then pick up a bazooka, and when he does, throw a couple of grenades at him. That will stun him, but you can manage this without throwing a grenade, too. Pick up the rocket, but save it for the next phase. However, if you want to use it now, it will instantly clear out this phase, and you will move on to the third phase.
I recommend using Requiem instead of the rocket launcher, as it will help a lot in the next phase.
Third Phase
When the third phase starts, use Requiem to shoot the red flesh weak point. However, Gideon will be attacking you quite a lot, so do not continuously shoot him. His attacks can be parried, so make sure you are parrying regularly and sharpening your hatchet. After you have destroyed the red flesh, the boss will get stunned, and many more similar but weaker ones will appear at the bottom.
Use a pistol or a submachine gun to destroy all of them, and then the boss will go berserk. You can strafe most of the attacks when he goes berserk, just keep track of where Gideon is attacking. Then the big red flesh will appear again, so now use the bazooka, and the fight should be over. After that, a scripted event will happen, and Leon will aura farm like usual.
With that, the Ark section in Resident Evil Requiem will be over, along with the game. That concludes our walkthrough of the latest entry in the Resident Evil franchise.
