Hint: Alternate Ken's corpse:
When you play the game as Jill, she and Barry willgo into the dining room. After Barry walks forward, turn aroundand go out the door. Wesker will tell you to investigate if youhear gun fire. When you are back in the dining room, try to goout the door again. Barry will proclaim that it is not like youto lose courage. After Barry is done talking about the blood,walk towards the Grandfather Clock and a zombie will appear throughthe door. Barry will kill the zombie, and he will walk up to itand say "What the hell!". Then, after the scene in thefirst room in the mansion after Barry gives you the lock pick,go back to the dining room and go through the door. Go to whereKen's corpse is located and his body should be different. Note:When you view Ken's second corpse you cannot get the ammunitionfrom him.
Hint: Checking Zombies:
If you are not sure if a zombie is dead, walk up fairlyclose to it (but not so close that they start chewing your ankles)and simply back up. If the Zombie is alive, the character willdo a wary backup move instead of the standard backup done whenthere is nothing there.
When a zombie falls to the ground and bleeds, it is truly deadand will not get back up.
If a zombie is dead, it will be lying in a pool of blood.
Hint: Detecting enemies:
In order to tell whether or not there is an enemy thatyou can hear, but cannot see (off screen), turn in the oppositedirection of where the enemy may be, and press Aim. Ifthere is an enemy present, your character will turn around andaim in the direction of the enemy. If nothing is there, your characterwill just aim in the direction you are facing. This also is usefulif you are not sure if a taken down zombie is actually dead.
