Port Area
After the scene, the streets will begin to fill with the infectious cloud of fog and kill anyone in its path, including you. You will need to follow the soldiers through the buildings to avoid the fog, while gathering items and shooting emblems.
Start by hugging the right wall into a small alley with a gate that you'l' need your partner to help you open. Once it is open, hug the right wall and follow a soldier inside the building before the fog consumes you.
The clothing shop has many valuable items, but your priority should be the Serpent Emblem on the top shelf on the right side of the shop. Once you shoot it, gather the 12-Gauge Shells, Red Herb and crates before running upstairs as zombies and fog make its way through the broken glass windows.
Head to the top of the stairs and break open the nearby crates while the soldier opens the door and then follow him down a corridor where a flood of zombies enters from a doorway nearby. Mow them down as you make your way to the end of the hall to open the door to make your way out of the building.
You will now get a short break as you ride through the town in the jeep. When the soldier stops to let you out, turn around and kill some zombies for the end game ranking and then make your way up and over the stack of vehicles to continue.
High-Rise Area
As you catch up the the events of the Prelude you will notice that a few things are different. For one, Helena is not hurt and you can stay in the area and kill the zombies without worry of the helicopter's bullets.
Start by killing the zombies in the open area and then make your way down the alley and through the building. In the back alley, where you healed Helena, kill the two BSAA soldiers with body armor, grab the Green Herb, and shoot the Serpent Emblem in the back of the other truck before you continue.
As you head down the stairs behind the alley a hoard of zombies will come running up. Throw a grenade or set a Remote Bomb to kill the mass and take out whatever is left as you continue forward.
You already know what is coming, so jump over the railing and make your way forward until you get the cutscene with the explosion and run for your life to reach the helicopter and use the L stick to kick the zombie off your leg.
Once again, Leon is behind the wheel so we will definately be crashing.
Helicopter: As Leon
- Follow the prompts as follows:
- Tap Square/X
- Timed R1/RT to shoot the zombie BSAA soldier
- Rotate the L stick
- Square + X / X + A to dodge the falling helicopter
Helicopter: As Helena
- Info Coming Soon
You should now be safe and sound on the ground floor of the Quad Tower.
Quad Tower Entrance
Start by shooting the Serpent Emblem on some shelves on the right side of the lobby and then break open the crates to restock any ammo. Head through the doors and over the railing for more Simmons action.
Boss: Simmons (T-REX Form)
In order to conserve ammo, start by finding the explosive barrels and lure Simmons near one with a few shots to his head. Once he is over the barrel, shoot it and he should turn to human form. Run in and shoot him a few more times until he kneels and then hit R1/RT to engage in a melee fight where you have to tap X/A quickly. Doing this a few times should get your through the first stage of the battle.
When the BSAA jeep shows up with turrets on the back, you automatically board and take position on the guns. Shoot Simmons' weak spots (the eyeball in his mouth, belly and back). When the jeep gets pinned focus on the eyeball in his mouth. Keep firing until the jeep is overturned and you are back on foot.
If there are no more explosive barrels in the arena, use Remote Bombs and Incendiary Grenades to force him into human form and get some damage in. Eventually, Simmons will pop a hole in the oil truck that you have wanted to shoot all battle, causing its contents to spill on the floor. Make sure Simmons is in the liquid before you shoot the oil to cause massive damage and hopefully turn him human again.
If this does not kill him, continue to use your grenades and Remote Bombs until he goes down.
Just when you throught you were safe, the elevator collapses and you are forced to climb the cables. Like the plane climbing, you need to switch between R1/RT and L1/LT slowly in order to climb. If you fail, you will fall to the bottom.
Boss: Simmons (Chimera Form)
Once your reach the top of the cable you will be on a secluded section of bridge across the way from Ada. Cover her with your Sniper Rifle and check for a zombie behind you once in a while for more ammo.
Eventually, the bridge will collapse and you will be forced to climb the cable again with Simmons on your tail. Keep climbing and watch for prompts if he gets close to avoid being thrown off the building. When you reach the top, Leon will jump to the bridge to aid the unconcious Ada.
The boss battle is now separated into two paths.
Simmons (Chimera Form): As Leon
- You can easily avoid Simmons by dashing past him on either side. Aim for his neck and keep moving to avoid being hit. As you make your way around, zombies will crowd around and drop more items for you to grab and reload.
- Eventually, Simmons will throw you off the roof and as you hang on for dear life Ada will save the day.
Simmons (Chimera Form): As Helena
- Info Coming Soon
Quad Tower Roof
Boss: Simmons (Fly Form)
Simmons blocks your path to the rooftop as hoards of zombies come in. Use any Incendiary Grenades you have and then switch to any weapon and deal damage to him.
If you find yourself low on ammo, hide in the alcove off to the side and focus on the zombies to gain items. This is also a great place to go if you need to reload or heal.
Keep this until the zombies decide he is a tasty snack and you are able to pass.
Inside the gate, head under the stairs and look through the bars to shoot a Serpent Emblem. Now grab the crates nearby and make your way through the rooftops, breaking open crates as you go. Open the partner required door and then vault Helena up on the machine.
Simmons (Fly Form): As Helena
- Info Coming Soon
Simmons (Fly Form): As Leon
- As Helena helps move the container to the far side, you will need to distract Simmons so he does not kill you.
- Start by aiming at him in the distance, focusing on the red eyes, and when he lands on the building next to you use your close range weapons.
- If you fail to keep him occupied, he will knock the container off and you'll have to try again.
- When you reach the other side you will automatically jump out as the container falls, along with Simmons.
On the other side, kill the zombies and grab any items while you reload your weapons. When you are clear, smash the crates and climb the ladder to advance.
Boss: Simmons (Fly Form) - cont.
The objective is to shoot off Simmons' legs and get him to grab the lightning rod zombie to regenerate. There are a couple of major difficulties involved in this battle. The first is that you are constantly being swamped with zombies and can not simply focus on the legs. The second is that it is no guarantee that Simmons will use the zombie you want to regenerate.
Once you are stocked up from the crates nearby, focus on damaging the legs to try and get them to break off and force Simmons to regenerate. There are two ways to do damage:
- Shoot the glowing bulbs on the legs and belly
- When the camera angles up to a leg, use Sqaure + X/ X + A to dodge the attack and then R1/RT to counter by climbing the leg and planting an Incendiary Grenade in the leg
Stop to clear out the zombies once in a while, since keeping the numbers low will help your chances in Simmons using the correct zombie to regenerate.
When Simmons finally does use the correct zombie, the lightning rod will fall to the ground where you can pick it up and impale another zombie as bait.
Each time Simmons grabs the zombie to regenerate it will do damage to his overall health and eventually he will fall to the ground and Leon will yell to aim for his head. There are two ways to deal with him now, thrust the spike into his head or have him regenerate his head with a spiked zombie. This should finish him...for now.
After Simmons goes down, make your way to the helicopter and try to open the doors. Simmons will reappear and get ready to strike you. Quickly pick up the Rocket Launcher and shoot him in the head to complete the level and Leon's Campaign.
| For a unique medal, defeat Simmons without using the Rocket Launcher. |
