Airplane
As soon as the cutscene ends you will be in a fight.
Boss: Lepotitsa
The confined space can make this fight seem deadly, but in fact it is easy to avoid the guy by running in a circle around the area to the right or left of the stairs and around to the other side.
If you get a good distance on the Lepotitsa, head to the right side of the pilot cabin and grab the Lightning Hawk for a great weapon against this guy. If you run out of ammo, grab the .500 Action-Express Magnum Ammo x2 on the right and left side of the area, just before the cockpit.
Keep running in circles while you aim for his head and stay out of arms length until he leaves.
Once you have control again, check the cockpit to learn that there is an issue with the pressure bulkhead and the bottom of the plane.
The shutter blocking the stairs to the lower cabins is now open, so take it and turn right and look under the shutter full of debris for a Serpent Emblem. Navigate your way through the main cabin and when the path splits around a room take the right path to 9mm Ammo before checking inside the room for a Green Herb.
Continue until you reach another room that has a Green Herb and then head out and down the steps to the cargo hold.
Start by getting the 5,000 Skill Points from the metal case and then check the glass cabinet nearby for a Green Herb and Serpent Emblem. To continue, head to the hatch door and follow the prompt to open it and proceed.
Before you do anything else, grab the First Aid Spray next to the red tanks and take note of the red box. When you are ready, head to the red valve and turn it to proeceed.
Boss: Lepotitsa
This time you don't want to shoot at the creature, but eject him from the plane. Start by hitting O/B to bring up the partner action menu and then hit up on the directional pad to set the AI to "Move In". This will cause the AI to be more aggressive and draw the enemy attacks while you pry open that red box and pull the lever to open the door and eject it from the plane.
Unfortunately, you are also almost ejected from the plane as well and need to crawl back into the cargo bay by pressing R1/RT and L1/LT back and forth. The key is to hold down one until the arrow on the next button goes up and then press the other. Doing this too fast will cause you to fall back and eventually die.
About half way up the ramp, watch for the QTE's to dodge a crate that goes flying off the plane and then continue to make your way back onboard.
Make your way back to the cockpit, killing all the turned passangers, and check the controls to continue.
Airplane: As Helena
- Use grenades, melee combat, and anything else to keep the zombies away from Leon.
Airplane: As Leon
- Leon takes the controls and you will need to complete a bunch of QTEs.
- Once Hunnigan finishes explaining what you need to do, look up with the L stick to get a timed Sqaure/X QTE.
- Following Hunnigan's orders, look right and examine the middle panel to grab the trottle and push Square/X repeatedly to complete the event.
- The final event is completed by looking forward toward the controls and once again pressing Square/X rapidly to pull the steering wheel back.
In true Leon style, we crash.
Airplane Crash Site
Boss: Ustanak
The first round with this guy is straight forward.
Start by hitting the button on the forklift to the left to climb up to some crates and a garbage bin of explosive barrels. Push the bin over to drop the explosives and then lure Ustanak into them. There are more explosive barrels on the container further forward on the left that you will need to use as well.
Stay away from him, using the containers as a good way to keep out of range. If a party member is grabbed at any point, release them with a Partner Assist.
When he finally disappears, follow Jake and Sherry to the gate where you split up with your partner again.
Boss Fight: As Helena
- Keep moving and don't waste your ammo on him. Also make sure to watch out for Ustanak's grenades that he begins to throw.
Boss Fight: As Leon
- You and Sherry are split up from Jake and Helena with no way to get back. Check the area for some crates and then check the back of the bus for some prompts.
- With Sherry's help, press Square/X repeatedly to open the engine panel and examine the engine and start it with a timed Square/X QTE. Don't rush yourself and let it skip over any that are next to each other, if needed.
- Once the bus is restarted, Sherry will drive it through the gate and open a new area at the far end of the area with more containers full of explosive cansiters.
In the new area, check around for more crates of ammo and then examine the forklift to drop the plank and allow you to get up to even more containers full of explosive canisters. Using these, lure the Ustanak in for more damage until he is defeated. If you need more containers, jump across the gap from the platform to a conatiner near the bus.
Market
As you enter the area, stop just before you reach the chickens to turn the corner. Equip your Sniper Rifle and look up, over the nearby palettes to a shiny neon sign and a Serpent Emblem. Continue down the market and take a right down an alley and into a shop that has another Serpent Emblem sitting on the counter. Now make your way to the door at the end of the market for a cutscene.
The enemy that appears is unbeatable, so don't waste your ammo on it unless it corners you and keep moving.
Storage Key A
After the cutscene, head straight toward the seafood shop and in the right corner, behind all the counters, is a room with a Red Herb and 2,000 Skill Points.
Exit the seafood area and continue down the alley until you spot an electrified door. In order to shut off the power, head to the area to the left of the door and pull the lever.
Now head into the room and grab the Storage Key A while another Rasklapanje exits the vent nearby.
Storage Key B
Head to the other side of the market now, to an alley where the Storage Key B lies.
Once you have gotten it, look for the ladder where a dead body fell down and climb it to a gap where you can throw Helena over. If you are Helena, you will need to find and open the door that leads to the markets main street to allow Leon to get into the new area.
Storage Key C
Head to the new area that is opened by Helena and go to the back of the area where another door that requires Partner Action holds the final Storage Key C.
Instead of heading straight for the exit, exit the bathroom and head right to find a ladder that leads to a metal chest with 5,000 Skill Points. Once you have that, head for the exit and use the keys to proceed.
Inside the market shop, follow the path until Leon is seized by a Rasklapanje. If you are Helena, there is nothing you can do while Leon struggles. If you are Leon, rotate the L stick until you fill the bar, note that you will have to start over at one point, and then hit R1/RT as soon as the second prompt comes up or you will see what Leon's brains look like as they are spattered on the wall.
Medical Research Center
As you enter the building you will run into Ada Wong again, although she seems different. The door ahead is locked, so head down the stairs until you reach the long corridor with specimens on each side.
You will need to Dash through the room and when the laser is activated, slide under the corner and continue to the end of the hall.
If you make it to the elevator before the BSAA soldiers you are taken to room 01 and if you fail, you take the stairs to room 00.
Room 00
- Break the crates outside the room and then head inside. As you enter the room, break open the crates and take the hint of equipping the Shotgun.
- As Ada triggers the trap of floor mines, use your Shotgun to bounce them back toward the BSAA members or destroy them while protecting your partner so they can hack the control panel. If you do this before the BSAA members complete their end, you are rewarded with 5,000 Skill Points x2 and 4,000 Skill Points.
Room 01
- Info Coming Soon
Whether you beat the BSAA members or not, follow Ada and don't let her get too far away or it's Game Over. Eventually, you will get a scene and learn who the BSAA members are before moving on.
After the scene, get the First Aid Spray from the room on the upper level and then break all the crates below for some juicy Magnum Ammo that hints at a boss fight. Now make your way to the double doors at the end of an alley to advance to a cutscene.
Train
After the cutscene, head through the train cars and gather the 9mm Ammo x2, 5.56 NATO Ammo, 12-Gauge Shells, and Red Herb and then climb up to encounter Simmons.
Boss: Simmons
Tactic 1:
- Start with your Lightning Hawk and take a few shots until he turns human and run past. Simmons will change back into mutated form and follow you through the train. Keep at him with the Lightning Hawk and Sniper Rifle until he retreats to the top of the train. This is an indication that his tactics are going to change.
Tactic 2:
- Simmons will now pursue you from either the top or the bottom of the train. You must use the levels to stay away from him while getting in shots. The best idea is to get on the top of the train and shoot at him as you retreat to one of the ends of the train to jump down when he is too close. Keep going back and forth between the two levels to avoid Simmons and you should be okay. If you are in need of ammo, check the train cars for plenty of supplies. Eventually, Simmons will play dead and use the opportunity to toss Leon to the other train.
Tactic 3:
- As Leon, Simmons will chase after you on the other train car. Dash your way over the boxes, avoiding the stacks so you are not slowed down, and you will eventually jump back to the other train where you'll need to rapidly press X/A to climb up before Simmons attacks you.
Tactic 4:
- Simmons will now run alongside the train car and shoot at your with his tentacle/appendage. Switch to your Shotgun and grab the Green Herb at the front of the car as you shoot across the way at Simmons. When he prepares to shoot, get behind a panel to avoid his fire. Continue this until he moves to the back of the car and hops inside, which leads to a QTE of Square + X / X + A.
Tactic 5:
- Watch and learn as Simmons derails another train with little effort. Make sure your Assault Rifle has max ammo and when Simmons charges the train, go all out in order to stumble him. If you fail, you will have to restart at the beginning of Tactic 4.
With Simmons down, walk forward as you listen to the BSAA soldiers nearby to end the chapter.
