/|/ INTRODUCTION.
Hello everyone, and be warmly welcomed to this small Rocket Launcher
walkthrough for Resident Evil: Code Veronica (X). Again, this guide serves to
establish a base for the speed players out there hunting for a world record as
tracked by Twin Galaxies.
This guide has been compiled from the game Resident Evil: Code Veronica X on a
PAL PS2, but all that is to be said can be applied to DreamCast versions of
Code Veronica (X) as well. There is virtually no difference between these
versions, except for some added cutscenes in X and, if memory serves me right,
the ability to skip the last cutscenes and final upscroller. For some reason,
you can't skip them in Code Veronica: X, so a whopping 7 minutes are added,
just like that - otherwise, you'd be able to finish in 2:23.
"...but V, you hate Rocket Launchers because they ruin the challenge, you
prefer using the standard weapons available after selecting a new game, right
V?"
Yes.
"So V, why then these Rocket Launcher guides?"
Because other than the Combat Knife Only category, Twin Galaxies only tracks
one other category, the All Weapons Allowed category. And that category
includes the Rocket Launcher, as well as any other uberweapon the game has on
offer (it turns out that in Resident Evil 0 on GameCube, for example, the
Magnum Revolver is a far more interesting weapon to use). Thus basically, with
this category, you trivialize the monsters in the game, as well as item
management.
Hey, they track it and as long as no Standard Weapon category exists, ie. the
real thing, I try to help out those who wish to immortalize their name with a
genuine world record. Besides, you can still consult the regular speed guide,
which is soon to get a complete facelift along with complementary optimizing.
Now don't get me wrong - a game is supposed to be fun. Should you ask me
whether or not killing Tyrant with a single shot after countless hours of
developing strategies to get him with, say, the Combat Knife, I'd have to
respond with "Yes!". It _is_ a lot of fun. Zombies? Boom. Hunters? Boom. Pesky
Zombie Dogs? BOOM!
So yeah, it's fun. And I hope, no, I *know* you will enjoy yourself while
following this guide, but - as fun as it is, it feels so... hollow. It's not
the 'good' way to finish this game with. If Rocket Launcher runs were all there
is to Resident Evil, I wouldn't have committed to it in the way I do now.
The only right way of playing this game is starting from a New Game, plain and
simple. Whether you opt to use all the weapons you encounter in such a case, or
restrict yourself to (a) particular weapon(s), that's how the programmers
intended their game to be played.
Anyway, that's my viewpoint. Feel free to disagree.
.. I think it's time to get this show on the road. Happy hunting!
/|| PRELIMINARIES.
_00 About PAL/NTSC_
This is a very important topic, as it affects the thing which usually has a
central role in my guides: time. So I feel that I should explain a bit about it
here. You see, PAL and NTSC are two different TV display modes. NTSC is
typically used in the US and Japan region, whereas Australia and Europe are
typical PAL regions.
So where lies the difference? Well, PAL has more rasterlines (lines that make
up the image), namely 625 versus 525 for NTSC, so the line density on your PAL
screen is higher, leading to a somewhat smoother picture. However, this comes
at a price, a price which us PAL speed players are not really happy with - a
loss in frame rate (25 versus 30 for NTSC).
As you can imagine, when a game originally created for the NTSC format is
converted to the PAL format, there are some serious drawbacks for the PAL user.
The game will still have 525 rasterlines, leading to black bars on top and
below the PAL image. But the largest drawback is that fact that, compared to
NTSC, the game will run in "slow motion", by the ratio 1 / (30/25) = 1 / 1.2 .
One of the best examples I can give about this is Resident Evil. I've made a
1:17 "speed guide" for this game (using Jill), which is quite optimized. But
that 1:17 counts for PAL regions only. If someone followed the exact same route
in a NTSC game, he or she'd get an end result of about
1h17m / 1.2 = 4620s / 1.2 = 3850s = 1h06m10s
Now, this result is not entirely correct, as you have to consider other factors
such as drive loading speed, mintness of the Resident Evil CD and your console,
what console you used etc, but the conversion is certainly a good estimate. As
you can see, PAL players are about 10 minutes slower than NTSC players - kind
of frustrating for us :).
Hence in the future, I'll make sure to clearly state what format I'm using
while playing the game, as well as providing estimates for the other format.
That way, everyone has a clear picture about what times to aim at, regardless
of region. I should probably incorporate these estimates into my existing faqs,
but that's something for the future.
Before I quit this topic, though, allow me to provide an estimate for CVX NTSC
players:
2h30m / 1.2 = 9000s / 1.2 = 7500s = 2h05m
Hence the 2:05 mentioned on top of this document. It would be great to beat the
two hour mark in the future.
_01 Controls_
In the guide, Control Type B was used as preferred setting. Hence, moving
Claire and Chris around goes a little like this:
D-Pad Directional Pad. Moves the character (also: left analog stick).
Square Square Button. Makes the character run, cancels selections in menu.
X Action Button. Search/Pick up items, confirm selections in menu etc.
R1 Auto-aim Button. Lets character Auto-aim at nearest target.
L1 Switch Button. Switches targets during Auto-aim.
Start Menu Button. Enter the menu.
Select Pause Button. Also used to skip cutscenes (only a few of them).
_02 Basic Terminology_
While the Resident Evil franchise developed into the strong series it is today,
a whole community formed below its skin, and I'm happy to do my modest part
within. The fun thing about communities is that, after a while, a sort of
'jargon' develops between strategy guide authors. Here are some basic jargon
terms I've grown accostumed to:
180 A full character turnaround (press Down on D-Pad + Square)
Sleeper An inactive Creature (Zombie, Hunter, ...)
Ninja Zombie A (dangerous) Zombie with high characteristics (hitpoints and
speed)
Clip Superglue character against a wall and run along to evade
enemies.
FAS First Aid Spray.
Hug Bump into object, then turn away, again to evade enemies.
Drop Fire enough shots to drop an enemy (no intent to kill it)
Here's some more I'll be using throughout the guide:
CUTSCENE Announcing a cutscene (which can hopefully be skipped with
Select)
BOOM! Fire a shot with the Infinite Rocket Launcher.
PICK UP Pick up an item.
COMBINE Combine items.
EXAMINE Examine object(s) of interest.
Phteefe Steve. Properly pronounced out of respect for the voice actor.
_03 Wait a minute, V, I don't have the Rocket Launcher yet! How do I get it?_
Okay, to obtain the Rocket Launcher: beat the game with an A ranking (I believe
it's an S ranking in NTSC). You do that as follows:
(1) No Saves, except for the 'free' save in the middle of the game (thanks
Capcom).
(2) No Retries. Sorry.
(3) No First Aid Sprays. They don't exist. If you pick one up, your console
will explode.
(4) Beat the clock: get below 4:30. Easy enough in NTSC, a bit harder in PAL,
as a PAL 4:30 is equivalent to a NTSC 3:45. Still manageable, though.
After getting the Rocket Launcher in Code Veronica on Dreamcast, I totally
forgot about condition (3), so one forgetful year later, I always got a B
ranking while playing Code Veronica X. I was ready to go into a maniacal rage
and destroy something, until I actually read my old FAQ again and saw that the
FAS is a no-no :). Blooper of the year, no contest.
Use my regular speed guide to get the Rocket Launcher. Since I only use a
couple of Green Herbs there, you should be safe on all prerequisites.
_04 Walkthrough layout_
I will use the same layout as in the Resident Evil 0 rocket launcher
walkthrough, excepting a few minor alterations:
<Room Number> <Room Name>
<Actions>
<Flavor Text>
<More Actions>
<More Flavor Text>
etc.
So:
<Room Number> is a 3-digit number, XYY, with X being the general area in which
you're playing, and YY the sequence number in which this particular room first
appeared. So for example, 007 is the seventh room you visit in the Prison area,
411 is the eleventh room you visit in the Military Training Facility.
<Room Name> Is a short room description. Hopefully, they're sufficiently clear.
<Actions> What has to be done before leaving the room. Very cryptic. Very
jive-like. If nothing's said, just run from exit A to exit B as quickly as you
can.
<Flavor Text> If there's a need for a deeper explanation of the universe's
fundamental truths, I'll satisfy it here.
|// ROCKET LAUNCHER WALKTHROUGH.
_______________
/Part 1 - CLAIRE\__________________________________
NOTE to Speed Play Trainees: Below is the description of a near-flawless game
where I managed to get as little damage as possible (even then, it could've
been better). I expect that when you try this, you'll be taking more damage -
trust me, I've been there - I feel your pain. So here's an interesting fact:
the game is literally strewn with Green Herbs.
Use them while you're still practicing your runs. You learn much more by
completing an entire run from start to finish rather than having to reset at
the start time and again because you refused to take that Green Herb because
it's not mentioned in this walkthrough. In such cases, forsake the golden path
and take the Herb. Your character needs it. Do it. You're just training,
remember?
"But, my inventory is full because of your walkthrough! I'm *so* dead!"
Don't worry, the inventory is organized in such a way that you'll always have a
free slot. And even then, you can still use the Herb directly. You only need a
single Green Herb anyway (one exception, but it's documented in the text) to
cure your yellow Caution status.
NOTE to Ranking Hunters: We're only interested in the fastest route here, so
ranking loss through the use of FAS or the Rocket Launcher will be ignored
because these things save us time. This walkthrough is therefore not concerned
about ranking.
Anyway, you've got the Rocket Launcher unlocked, right? Then boot up Code
Veronica (X) and select a New Game. We're go!
_00 JailBreak_
=Area 1: The Prison=
101 [Cell]
EQUIP: Lighter
CUTSCENE
102 [Cell Corridor]
103 [Small Graveyard]
CUTSCENE
Two Zombies on the way out: run past the left of Zombie 1, then _immediately
clip to the right, then run straight ahead to evade Zombie 2 without getting
hit. It's very important that you run a straight line, without 'bumping' into
the borders: it will keep your speed at such a level that you _can_ get by
unharmed (of course, don't run *into* Zombie 2 :). If the second Zombie munches
in, don't worry too much. It'll probably be your last Zombie munch of the game.
104 [Prison Courtyard]
CUTSCENE
EQUIP: Handgun (mandatory)
105 [Barracks]
Run around large building.
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
106 [Guillotine Courtyard]
Three Zombies block your path. To get rid of the first two, bump into the
garbage container, rotating left until you can move Claire in a straight line
(she'll run slightly northeast from her viewpoint). Bump into the wall dead
ahead, then clip to the right to evade the third and last blocker.
107 [Put The Metallic Items You Have _IN_ The Security Box]

Kill the two 'loose' Zombies with a rocket each, the rest is hopefully nicely
grouped so you can bag them in one shot. If not fire additional BOOM!s until
you reach the fire.
USE: Fire Extinguisher
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
PICK UP: Duralumin Case
EXAMINE: Duralumin Case
Skip-read document to obtain: TG-01 Alloy
You *have* to enter the menu to Examine the Duralumin Case, so might as well do
it now.

105 [Barracks]
104 [Prison Courtyard]
USE: Emblem (duplicate)

to the left to offset the orientation of one, then two Zombie Dogs. Climb
steps, enter double doors.
202 [Reception]
Try to descend the stairs
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
Run straight to the computer terminal, activate it, then enter code:
NTC0394
Remember that the keyboard wraps, this helps entering the code as quickly as
possible. Don't enter ESC or BS (ie. BackSpace) by accident.

Activate largescale elevator.
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
BOOM!
The four walker Zombies are nicely stacked, so one shot should take care of
them (aim in between the lot). Ignore the Crawler. You could evade the whole
troop, but shooting them right here is faster. Besides, you carry teh
uberstick, so it's important that you flaunt it with style.

resort to yuur beurmstick if absolutely necessary.
408 [Demonic Statue Basement]
Enter lift, select 2F (second floor).
409 [MTF Control Room]
Use Emblem Card on reader.
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)

It's not necessary to kill the two Bandersnatches here, just run, run, run your
heart out to pass them unscathed. Climb the stairs, and don't be afraid if one
of the 'snatches follows you.

____________________________
/PART 2 - CHRIS TO THE RESCUE\____________________________
NOTE to Speed Play Trainees: okay, you've done well: This is the halfway point,
at which the game will ask you if you want to save or not. This dialogue window
opens up regardless of anything and the game won't count it as a save, so the
procedure will cost you something of 10, up to 20 seconds. Uncle V's advice is:
use the occasion and save when you're not sure about part 2! Nosferatu can be
tricky, and should *something* happen, you won't have to play through the first
1:14 again.
Of course, once you're confident enough and serious about the world record,
skip the dialogue. Now then, let's get back to the walkthrough, shall we?
_07 Antarctic Facility I_
=Area 5: Antarctic Facility=
501 [Facility Core]
CUTSCENE
Go down ladder, 180 and eventually take the stairs down.
502 [Moth Corridor]
Descend stairs, turn left as soon as possible.
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
Evade single Moth (easy), enter double doors.
503 [Sorting Facility, Ground Floor]
Evade 3 Zombies (easy), enter door on the left, marked 'BOW'.
504 [BOW Area]
Turn right, run straight ahead, then diagonal (turning right) to evade two
Spiders. Go to the back of the area.
PICK UP: Bar Code (lies on top of a crate)
180 and return from whence you came as quickly as possible. Should the Spiders
block you, do not hesitate and BOOM! them both to kingdom come.
503 [Sorting Facility, Ground Floor]
Clip left while running forwards to evade the Zombie stationed nearby, then try
to enter the door marked 'WEAPON'.
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
Enter the door.
505 [WEAPON Area]
One of two things may happen (at random):
Sleepers: Well hello. That's a good thing. Don't worry about evasion tricks
here.
Walkers: Oops, now you have to evade the Zombies. Zombie 1 is no problem, and
Zombie 2 can be passed on the left.
PICK UP: Mining Room Key
On the way back, watch out how how try to get around Zombie 2 (try Claire's
right). Don't get hit.
503 [Sorting Facility, Ground Floor]
One door (reachable after climbing a few steps) has been left unexplored. BOOM!
the second Zombie you meet on your way to this door, then use/discard the
Mining Room Key to unlock it. Go in.
506 [Mining Room]
Rotate right to climb a few bumps, then examine the security valve to verify
that it has a hole shaped like an octagon. Go back down to enter the next area.
507 [Power Generator, Ground Floor]
Run straight ahead, take a left, disturb the Zombie Dog in its sleep, enter the
small isolated area and move the lever to activate the power generator. Run
back out of the isolated area and immediately clip right to avoid an annoying
jump attack (if you were fast enough, you won't even get to see it). Take
another left into a small alcove, where a second Zombie Dog wakes up. Pass him
and pull the lever to restore power to the entire facility.
506 [Mining Room]
503 [Sorting Facility, Ground Floor]
Go to the sorting machine (where you BOOM!ed that Zombie earlier on).
Activate the power (press shimerring button on the left).

503 [Sorting Facility, Ground Floor]
502 [Moth Corridor]
As you storm down this corridor to the next exit, odds are that a Moth
successfully casts an 'inject egg' attack on Clair. When that happens, wriggle
the controls like crazy to avoid having an egg on your back. The egg is bad
news generally.
508 [Antarctica Facility Save Room]
Open the Save Box and ditch the Rocket Launcher. Chris will be needing it
shortly. Don't worry about Claire, she'll have a nice replacement soon enough.
Go to the bookcase at the back of the room and give it 3.8 solid pushes, then
run up to the locker.
CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
Skip-read the Butler's Confession, then push the button and try to enter the
shifting lockers as quickly as possible.
CUTSCENE
PICK UP: Plant Pot
502 [Moth Corridor]
Dead ahead you go.
501 [Facility Core]
Enter the double doors near the ladder.

here.
USE: Valve Handle
This yields the (octagonal) Valve Handle.
509 [Sorting Facility, 1st Floor]
501 [Facility Core]
502 [Moth Corridor]
Watch out that you don't get poisoned. If you do, there's a case of Blue Herbs
(endless supply, can't be taken) near the exit. Alternatively, reset the game
(ie. reset your PS2 or DreamCast) and try again.
506 [Mining Room]
You'll have the Gas Mask equipped.
USE: Valve Handle (on octagonal hollow)
CUTSCENE
CUTSCENE

CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
CUTSCENE
513 [Arctic Facility Roof]
CUTSCENE
Try to descend the ladder.
CUTSCENE
Finally, a challenge (tiny, but still).
BOSS FIGHT: Nosferatu
Immediately at the start, run a few steps up, then aim the Sniper Rifle. Zoom
in on Nosferatu's vulnerable, pulsating heart area (press the L1 button to do
this) until it's nice and big, then let rip - he won't like it and hiss in
frustration. Use the moment to put Claire in a top position for the next shot,
then repeat the above. He'll go down in 3-4 shots.
With the above procedure, you shouldn't get poisoned at all, which is vital for
the rest of the guide. Should you, by a stroke of extremely bad luck, get
poisoned after all, reset the game and start anew.
CUTSCENE (I've got you now)
CUTSCENE
Over to Chris.

Keep the Combat Knife, but ditch the Glock and its ammo, trade the FAS for the

curl right and exit.
403 [Emblem Card Courtyard (upstairs)]
409 [MTF Control Room]
Access the elevator, select 1F (first floor).
411 [MTF Miniature Room Corridor]

enough to enter the door without running into the detection ray.
412 [MTF Miniature Room]

The picture behind Chris will slide away, giving access to a file (skip-read as
usual and an item of interest. Don't worry about the RGB laser system just yet.

It's a little redecorated since last time. Move over the crate to get to your
next destination.
422 [MTF Office]
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
is what you do to incinerate the three Zombie secretaries. Sometimes, you can
get by shooting none of them, but in general, they like to show up in such
annoying places that it's better to get them out of the way. Your decision - a
bit of luck is needed here.
403 [Emblem Card Courtyard (downstairs)]
Run past the Sleeper - he's really no contest. The same goes for the way back,
except that now, the Sleeper will lie on the other side.

402 [MTF Welcoming Hall]
401 [MTF Courtyard]
Twirl to the right on a straight route to the largescale elevator and watch how
a Hunter opens pursuit, a second one too drowsy to pose a threat. The active
Hunter *will* perform a jump attack when you get close to his partner, so you
must anticipate his jump and start a curling motion to the right in order to
live. Should you get hit, you'll automatically be in yellow Caution status,
which'll cost you a herb pickup, so.. don't get hit.
308 [Airport Elevator]
If the Hunter caught you, this is the place to pick up and use a Green Herb.

304 [Loading Area]

distance. Hunters are best hit when they come running to you from a large
distance.
302 [The Aquarium]
BOOM! the boobytrapped Zombie. You don't want him to ever grab you. The other
two Zombies are easily evaded.
305 [Boarding Area]

power.
PICK UP: Army Proof

304 [Loading Area]
Head for the exit in a clear, straight line, the Hunter here will always miss.
308 [Airport Elevator]
401 [MTF Courtyard]

out just before one of the Poison Hunters hits you with a very poisonous jump
attack.

CUTSCENE (cannot be skipped)
Drop into the pool, head straight for the Eagle Plate.
PICK UP: Eagle Plate
Get back out. During the process, the Albino might have hurt you a bit to drop
you to yellow Caution level. If not, that's okay, if yes, pick up and use a
Green Herb (I would've preferred the former, but what can you do? This part
depends on luck mostly).
424 [Goin' Underground]
The Spiders still do nothing, unless you hang around for too long. Won't
happen.
412 [MTF Miniature Room]
411 [MTF Miniature Room Corridor]
Enter the elevator, select B1F (basement).
408 [Demonic Statue Basement]

BOOM!
Yep. Alexia's *that* easy to get.
CUTSCENE
Oops, I don't think the Rocket Launcher's going to be useful here anymore.
Luckily, there's an equally destructive alternative nearby.
PICK UP: Linear Launcher
EQUIP: Linear Launcher
Take aim, a deep breath and yell "Who's your daddy/mommy?" as you fell the
flying queen in one clean shot (aim at the location where you estimate that
she'll be in the next second). Should you miss, get out of targeting mode and
run circles to evade Alexia's fire attack (4 bursts). After that, gear up for a
second try. Of course, this'll cost you time...

|/| FINAL WORDS.
Et voila. A pretty good base for a Rocket Launcher speed run, although I can't
guarantee that the current alpha version is the optimal path. The mark has been
set to 2:23 (PAL) at the moment, but I can imagine that with the necessary
refinements, faster times can be achieved. However, I'll leave these
refinements up to you - should you be willing to share them (for example, a way
to skip the final cutscene and end sequence would be FANTASTIC), please send me
an e-mail.
In the meantime, I'll be working on optimizing the regular speed guide for Code
Veronica (X) - I have found ways to cut off a couple minutes hither and
thither, as well as taking a different path this time. Also, I stumbled upon a
Silent Hill 2 workfile (about 30% finished) and figured that it'd be a waste to
let it go to waste. Will complete this guide as well.
