RESIDENT EVIL 2 (LEON)

Written By Sean Murphy

Start off by running through the streets avoiding the zombies. You can pick up some ammo and a shotgun after you reach the shop where the owner dies. For a twist in the story, don't pick up anything. Brad from the S.T.A.R.S Team is a zombie and will be under the tunnel to the R.P.D entrance. Take him out and search his body for the Secret Key. This only works if you didn't pick anything up. Once in the P.D. collect bullets and ink ribbons at the front desk and enter the small door on the left side of the main hall. Get the keycard from the injured cop and go to the computer in the main hall to unlock the two other doors. Head for the doors on the left side. Get rid of the knife, and get a health spray from the storage box. Continue down the hallway, and watch the creepy thing move across the window. Go through the hall and to a pool of blood.

Go into the double doors in the middle of a U-shaped hallway. Use the lighter in the back room to get the first red jewel. Collect the file and some pistol ammo. Load your pistol and proceed to the next room, kill the zombies.
