Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth chapter of the Resident Evil series and sees the return of Leon S. Kennedy along with a new, but a little familiar, protagonist in Grace Ashcroft. In Requiem, you’ll join the duo as they explore the horrific Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center and make their fated return to Raccoon City. However, it wouldn’t be a Resident Evil title if you didn’t have to deal with spooky creatures and zombies along the way.

Brains over brawn

Before you dive into the Wrenwood Hotel and learn more of Grace’s backstory, you should refresh your memory of the Resident Evil series with some lore. This will help you get an idea of what’s going on in this world and what may be in store for your future. Next, keep our beginner’s guide and interactive map handy as they can (and will) save your life in these tight corridors. If you get stuck, make sure to check out our walkthrough that’ll guide you through the many labyrinths of Requiem.

So anyway, I started blasting

Knowledge is power, but sometimes, you do just need to shoot some zombie heads to survive. As you’re playing, you’ll notice that Grace and Leon handle zombies a little differently. Grace is a little less prepared, so you’ll need to make sure to increase her inventory space, so she can hold more healing items, ammo, and crafted items. Meanwhile, Leon will, well, start blasting and roundhouse kick the zombie scum in the head. You aren’t asking yourself how you should kill the zombies, but rather, which weapon do you fancy today?
