Tips & Mechanics

Timing your dodge correctly can make you invincible for a short period. Watch for enemy attack animations and dodge just before impact to trigger a perfect dodge.

Tip: Perfect dodges can create openings for counter attacks.

Headshots deal significantly more damage than body shots. Most standard enemies can be killed with a single headshot from powerful weapons.

Tip: Use precision weapons like the Magnum or Sniper Rifle for maximum headshot damage.

Conserve ammo by using melee attacks on weakened enemies. Most enemies can be finished with a melee attack after taking significant damage.

Tip: Upgrade your melee skills to increase damage and unlock combos.

Ammo is scarce in Resident Evil 9. Use your weapons wisely:

• Use weaker weapons on weaker enemies
• Save powerful ammo for bosses
• Combine herbs instead of using them individually

Your inventory space is limited. Manage it carefully:

• Store items in item boxes when not needed
• Combine herbs to save space
• Drop unnecessary items when needed

Every room may contain valuable items. Check:

• Drawers and cabinets
• Shelves and tables
• Dead bodies
• Hidden compartments

Don't be afraid to backtrack. Later in the game, you'll gain access to new abilities that allow you to reach previously inaccessible areas.

Tip: Mark areas on your map that you can't access yet for later exploration.

When facing multiple enemies:

• Use grenades to stun or damage groups
• Lure enemies one at a time
• Use environmental hazards to your advantage

Typewriters are your save points. Use them strategically:

• Save before tough encounters
• Save after major progress
• Keep multiple save files for different paths
