Resident Evil 6 - Chapter 1: Money Talks

The Sewers

December 24, 2012 /  Edonia, Eastern Europe

Head through the sewers until you reach the surface where BSAA and J'avo are engaged in combat. Head through the partner required door and be careful as you make your way through the street, as the helicopter will shoot at you. When you turn the corner to the left, the building straight ahead will have a Serpent Emblem above the doorway you can shoot before entering.

Head out the other side and defeat the occupied J'avo with Jake's Hand-to-Hand (hold L1/LT to charge and then R1/RT to attack for zero stamina loss) or Sherry's Stun Rod. When all targets dead, go through the building and out the window on the other side.

The helicopter and J'avo will be targeting you with the intent to kill, so get through the area quickly and into the building where the helicopters rocket separates Jake and Sherry.

Pick up the 9mm Ammo and head outside, up the steps, to rejoin your partner and enter the nearby building. Watch the scene and then break open the nearby crates.

Head outside the building, grab the Green Herb, and then continue for a scene. The J'avo have their backs to you, so Stealth Kill them as you make your way through the cliffside. When you reach the building Jake can swing across the gap, but Sherry is forced to take the lower path.

Cliffside: As Jake

• Break the crates nearby and then jump across to a crumbling ledge that you'll have to dash past. Climb the ladder and circle back to drop the emergency ladder. Jump down to the opening and help Sherry up.

Cliffside: As Sherry

• Jump down the ladder and go around the outside of the building to Stealth Kill a J'avo. Head to the ladder and press O/B to have Jake come and assist you up.

Directly across from where your character regroup, turn away from the ladder and find a Serpent Emblem. Now make your way to the partner required door.

As you head straight forward you will see the fight on the bridge from Chris' Campaign going on across the way. Turn the corner and prepare for some opposition from the J'avo as you reach the sandbags. Kill all the enemies and then help Sherry up.

Cliffside: As Jake

• Swing across the stick when Sherry drops it and then dash across the ledge as a BSAA helicopter fires on you. Keep going until the helicopter leaves and then head left down th corridor to rejoin Sherry and break the crates down her path.

Cliffside: As Sherry

• Kill the J'avo and then lower the stick for Jake, so he can swing across the gap. Head around the corner and down a long corridor where J'avo jump down from the ceiling and attack. Kill them and Jake should rejoin you.

Head down the corridor to the partner required door and then immediately dash through the turret trap to the exit on the other side.

Water Channel

Meet the new Nemesis and when you gain control, dash as fast as you can toward the camera. When the camera angle changes, after an attack, continue to dash toward the objective marker and jump across the gap for a scene.

Head through the building, into the bathroom, where a hiding J'avo attacks and then grab the Green Herb.

Instead of heading for the exit, take the other door into a room with some shelves for a crate and access to the basement, where more crates and a J'avo await. When you are ready, head for the obective point and open the partner required door.

Search the entire building area for crates, a Remote Bomb, Flash Grenades x2, the Elephant Killer, and drop all the emergency ladders on the 2nd floor. When you are ready, head for the objective point door to trigger the boss.

Boss: Ustanak

This battle is not too complex to figure out. Use the explosive barrels and Remote Bombs to deal damage to Ustanak, while picking off any J'avo that hinder your progress.

Don't be afraid to head to the upper level, as it provides a safe area where the Ustanak will walk straight into the barrels. Stay away from him to avoid his claw attack and keep moving to avoid being charged into.

Underground Passage

Head through the area, as you listen to the games exposition, and break any crates you come across. Despite the ominous look of the dark area, you can safely explore without worry of enemies popping out.

Make sure you grab the Green Herb from the mannequin room and the 2,000 Skill Points by the ladder before you head up to the surface. There is a Serpent Emblem straight ahead and some J'avo in the corner. Kill them and then proceed through the partner required gate.

In Front of City Hall

As Jake and Sherry reach City Hall they encounter BSAA soldier Chris and Piers. Before they get to pleasantries, the enemies drop in another Ogroman for your killing pleasure.

Boss: Ogroman x2

Unlike the Chris fight, where you control the pace of Finn, Chris, Piers and Finn will rush from one anti-aircraft gun to another. This means that killing both Ogroman is extremely hard to impossible to do before Finn blows all three guns.

As soon as you have control, shoot Ogromon in the face and pouch to draw him away from the first building. Run to the 2nd building, with the turret, and use it to make him kneel. Be careful that the turret is not destroyed when he punches you or you'll have to spend more ammo than you'd like. When he does kneel, approach his shoulder and press R1/RT to jump on his back and rapidly hit X/A to grab his spike and stab him. You should be able to get the first Ogroman down before Finn destroys the 2nd gun.

Explore the first building for crates and any enemy drops and then rush into the 3rd building to get any items there as well. When Finn and the others head into the underground tunnels, follow them and reap the rewards of their kills, the Green Herb, Red Herb, and the many items in crates.

The 2nd Ogroman will have come out by now and when you enter the final building you are faced with many J'avo as well. Protect yourself from the snipers, but let the Ogroman go after Chris' team to prevent Finn from setting the charges. If you get lucky, Piers and the others will help you defeat the Ogroman while it prevents Finn from setting charges, but the chances are slim.

If Finn destroys the last gun before you defeat Ogroman, an airstrike will take it out and the section ends before it melts enough to grab its points.

Leaving the City

Watch the scene and when you have control, run to the cockpit and grab the First Aid Spray and 9mm Ammo x2.

Boss: Ustanak

Ustanak hops on board, tears a hole in the hull and tries to grab you. Keep moving and watch the enemy marker to track his path and when he pops his head take a couple of shots at his head. After a few rounds of this, he will start to throw grenades, which cause the cockpit to smoke and flame. Stay away from the cockpit and try to avoid his grenades until the soldier tells you to jump to the other helicopter.

Dash to the front door and use the partner action to toss Sherry across before Ustanak attacks. Jake will end up hanging off the new helicopter while Ustanak destroys the previous one. If you are Jake, rotate the L stick to climb inside. If you are Sherry, partner assist Jake.

Once both partners are on board the new helicopter, head for the back of the chopper and man one of the turrets. Although you may have the urge to fire on Ustanak, this is actually a failing strategy. Instead, aim for the three choppers themselves and shoot in bursts to take them down, while ducking from Ustanak's fire. If a missile comes flying at you, shoot it before it reaches you and causes massive damage.

Once all the support choppers are down, aim for Ustanak's chopper and continue to fire. When you take his chopper down, Ustanak will attack your chopper directly. As you slide toward his face, aim at the explosive tank near his face and shoot it to throw him off. Unfortunately, this also destroys the chopper and causes Jake and Sherry to hang off the end. As a parachute comes sliding toward you, press X/A to catch it and keep yourself from dying.
