Resident Evil: Directors Cut Hints

Blow off zombies heads with the pistol

In the arrange version of the game the berreta you get is silver if you shoot zombies from the side or behind with it you have a 50% chance of blowing there head off but only in arrange version does it do this pity huh but it save major ammo and you will need it in arrange mode!

Decapitating zombies

You can decapitate zombies for a quicker kill. This works best with the Shotgun (the Magnum does it too, but you'll want to save your Magnum for boss battles). When a zombie comes after you, let them get close, and then point your Shotgun up and fire. This should decapitate them. However, the Shotgun does a good job at decapitating from a distance, too, which is what you should try to do if you are facing groups of zombies. Only use the pointing up method for lone zombies that you need to kill.

Herbs - all possible combinations and their effects

There are three types of healing herb found in the game - Green, Red and Blue. The below chart will list the the possible combinations and effects of each:

Green - Restores 25 percent of health
Green + Green - Restores 50 percent of health
Green + Green + Green - Fully restores health
Red - No effect alone
Green + Red - Fully restores health
Blue - Cures poison
Green + Blue - Restores 25 percent of health and cures poison
Green + Green + Blue - Restores 50 percent of health and cures poison
Green + Red + Blue - Fully restores health and cures poison

Note - No more than three herbs can be combined together. Therefore, it is not possible to combine three Green herbs and a Blue herb. Also, Blue herbs cannot combine with Red alone.

Note 2 - First Aid Sprays, the only other healing item found in the game, fully restores health.

Battery for elevator

When you return to the mansion after you get finished with the guardhouse and fight the big snake the second time Barry will give you a passcode for the door near the storeroom where you find the serum for Richard. Wait until he drops a new rope and climb up it and he will give you the pass code then go and enter it in the door and go through it there will be zombies so be careful and follow the hallway and you will come up on the elevator shaft and there will be a door to your left and it is a closet the battery to the elevator in the garden is in there along with two packs of grenade rounds. But when you go to put the battery in the place where it goes go back up on that elevator and (don't forget to bring the crank with you) go to the place where you opened the water gate so you could walk across and close it and it will shut off the waterfall and you will find the tunnels. Good luck hope this helps you out.
