Hi There, I am Ecdycis and these are my notes for Resident Evil 3 Any% PC TWN

This is a basic guide if you want to get into Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Speedrunning and will be referring to the category Any% PC TWN. Most of the routing can carry over to the rest of the game but keep in mind about significant differences such as difficulty, puzzle, or additional routing if you aren’t doing Any% TWN

The guide will give a solid grasp on how to beat the game but the rest of the tricks and skill will be up to you. I highly recommend checking out the video guide by Orchlon or watching some runs beforehand so you have an idea of what to expect. It may also help to read this guide along while watching a run

Before you read understand
1) This guide is using the autosplitter as a reference which will split on pretty much every door in the game

2) I have included parenthesis for route changes since if you get Magnum or Grenade launcher it will definitely vary, it will be using Grenade as a default

3) I have not put down any herb you may find, you will see them as you play and can grab them as you wish. I recommend weaning yourself off the herb early on so you can primarily use the 1st Aid that is much more convenient for routing

4) There are resources available on the SRC page, GET THEM

5) To get on the leaderboard you must complete the run without dying. This is due to the in game timer resetting back to where you had a save point/continue which can be abused

6) If you plan on streaming this it is easier to use Display Capture on OBS than it is to get window or game capture working. Most PC games of the time will have issues with this

Now that we’ve covered that it’s time to begin!

Fin
225: talk to device and select yes.
Fin: Run forward, Let the cutscene playout, and take a deep breath. Good job, you did it!

Closing
If you’ve made it this far without dying great job! You are now a certified RE3 runner and can properly complain about the RNG that hates you.
If you’ve beaten the game but died you still did great, but your run won’t be valid until you can beat it without dying. Still you managed to beat one of the toughest horror speedgames and you should be proud.

I recommend you get some saves on the parts of the game you’ll need to work on. In addition to that don’t worry about resetting until you are top 10 or have hundreds of attempts under your belt, the more you play the game the easier it will get, resetting all the time will never allow you to practice other sections of the game you may need

There are also plenty of other runners who are more than happy to assist you in both the discord, forums, or possibly your chat if they notice you doing runs. In addition I'm also always open to answering questions although my understanding is mostly a basic level

Thank you for reading and good luck out there, I hope to see you on the leaderboards soon!

Delayed Input Cancel (DIC)

Introducing... Delayed Input Cancel! Also known as: DIC
This technique is for the PC version for Resident Evil 3.


When prompted with an option in RE3, there is a delay before you can select the first option. However, if you input left or right, the delay is immediately cancelled. This trick was known for awhile but was nonviable as it relied on fast reactions and any error would result in a time loss.


It was recently discovered that since you are able to bind two inputs to a single key (for RE3 PC), anyone can easily perform this! Here I have bound left + right to my space bar. It will input left and right at the same time without error - this will be my DIC key.

The main game runs at 30 fps- here we see a 7 frame/0.23 second improvement

The status screen runs at 60 fps - here we see a 16 frame/0.26 second improvement

When you are presented with an option prompt, quickly press your DIC Key and then confirm key, sequentially. This will allow you to save several frames each time. The time save is roughly 0.25 seconds if performed well enough. The examples above were performed by hand and could possibly be performed faster. It may be difficult to have frame perfect inputs but the time save adds up!

I hope this tutorial was helpful - Happy PBs!

P.S. Please feel free to correct me on any misinformation (especially frame data). :P

Dodges / Strats Compilation

__**Basement**__ - Works better for Consoles and emulators - *WolfDNC*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRQGckFzBkA

__**Pharmacy Escape**__ - *RebeccaRE and WolfDNC*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZfzY0nz4hs
Get in wait until zombie on the left moves / DON'T AGRO BARBIE ZOMBIE !! / get out CLEAN !!! Even on caution !!

__**City Hall - Three Points Street Zombie Dodges Statue (Late Crank Route)**__ - *Supergamer57*

**Method #1 - Quick Turn**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJFwlvoFu-g

**Method 2 - Manual Turn**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVLcIcTaOsk
*This only saves time on PC since the advantages of late crank are more fast doors and the absent Nemesis.* If the 2nd and 3rd zombies do not become aggressive, then this dodge should work every time.

__**Cable Car Area**__ - *keny*

**Method #1**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ui0_oKhMcA

**Method #2**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y265vTp7YXA

In Resident Evil 3, in the pattern in which zombies appear in the cable car area, it is common to use a usual twice handgun to explode drums to defeat zombies. However, this method has a large time loss. So, I tried to verify the method that can pass as fast as possible.

- The first zombie avoidance around the doorway is relatively easy, so I will skip the explanation.

Three zombies near the cable car entrance turned around greatly outside and it was easy to cut into the inside with a quick turn.

**Note 1:** With this method, when you fail on a quick turn, you are caught by both a standing zombie and crawling zombies, so I updated it in a way that does not use a quick turn.

After the end of the Carlos event, avoiding zombies near the entrance will seem difficult at first glance. However, I learned that if you leave the cable car and raise Jill to the right side of the bench as quickly as possible and immediately divert Jill to the left side as soon as you get off, you can avoid zombies relatively steadily.

**Note 2:** As you can see when comparing the updated version with the old version, the movements of the zombies who are behind the female zombie are random, so after you get down to the ground, I recommend that you pay attention to the location of the zombies.Due to the random arrangement of zombies and the emergence of aggressive zombies, it is not stable yet.

To be honest, very good RNG is continuing, it is a waste if you fail here, so it seems better to use a normal hand gun in such a case. On the contrary, the time is bad until just before and it may be good if it is a gambling way of using it to regain the delay.)

__**Water Hunters - Factory**__ - *WolfDNC*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxqxND8RltY
Hmmm hard to explain in words just watch and PERFORM !!! If the first hunter stays still just wait until he moves then PERFORM !!! xD

__**Nemesis Waste Disposal Fight - Factory (Handgun)**__ - *Supergamer57*

**Method #1 - Safe**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7bBT6a6mhU

__**Zombies dodges after Nemesis waste disposal fight - Factory**__ - *WolfDNC*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnSn9SQhcBM
Just watch and repeat xD You can get it EVERYTIME if performed correctly and if the second zombie doesn't agro xD

Fountain Binds

If you want to do the fountain fast but you are lazy to learn it like me you can bind keys for it. I am pretty sure someone else might have thought of this but I haven't seen it anywhere so here are the binds. I am using 1 through 7.

1: down and use
2: up and use
3: right
4: down and use
5: up and use
6: left and use
7: left and use
After binding them, all you have to do is press 1 through 7 (not too fast) and then 7 again to confirm.

Grenade Launcher/Magnum Tool Setup Guide

Hardware Acceleration Fix for Win8 / 8.1 (All Re1-3 + Dino Games)

Now i had a problem which made my Hardware Acceleration "dissapear" for older games / games that use DirectDraw Engine and stuff.
This is in this case the ResidentEvil Series for PC and DinoCrisis 1 & DinoCrisis 2 . The reason is that the old games are made and use the DirectX 32bit Engine - which is in Win8 and 8.1 64bit Systems particially dissabled this leads into people only can use RGB Emulation on those Games. Now the Solution works for almost every "older" game and luckly for us we just need to check a little box.

You can either do a long "workaround" via the Windows-Registry or use this nice little tool that Windows does not come with by default which is a simple DirectX-Control Panel.

Original Download here: http://www.3dcenter.org/download/directx-control-panel

Now after downloading the zip and extracting the files, run the x86.exe of the two files (dxcpl_x86) .
After opening go to the "DirectDraw" Panel and Check "Use Hardware Acceleration" 
(See Screenshot for details here :  http://i.imgur.com/5njoOkO.jpg ) 

Now simply click "Apply" and you're ready to go. For some Games like RE3 jp version i had to activate WinXP-SP3 compatibility mode.
But this is optional and might not apply to everyone.

Now just Change the Graphic Settings back to your GPU (as you might used to have) and you're ready to go and get a new WR..maybe #Kappa

I wanna share this strat with you guys!
If he walks, count 3 steps and open inventory. He'll try to punch you everytime. If he runs, count 4 steps and he will stop running :D

**Demostration**

The video showing the strat with pistol. Basically this glitch can be performed in any version of the game and any platform
This could be mostly used on Nemesis% and Knife Nemesis% categories where you have to fight with him 10 times.

Puzzle Solutions

__**Evidence Room Locker**__
The evidence room locker in the RPD is set randomly to one of four codes, there is no way to know exactly what the code is that we know of yet:

0131 - 4011 - 0513 - 4312

__**Pharmacy Computer**__

The password are:
- SAFSPRIN *(technically has the greatest of being the passcode)*
-.ADRAVIL
- AQUACURE

__**Oil Station**__

**Method #1**
Please Read: I spent probably an hour learning the variety of solutions and recording them. There is a slim chance i have missed a combination, but these were definitely the regulars. Also, they might not be the quickest methods, but i wanted to start somewhere. 

Key for puzzle: 
- Letter in brackets = Highlighted letter (the goal essentially) 
- Letters following the brackets = Dials that are red (highlighted) 
- The final set of letters are the solution to that particular puzzle. 

(A) a+c = b,a 
(A) a+c+d = c,a 
(A) a+b+d = c,b,a 
(A) a+d = b,d,a 
(B) a+b+c = d,c,b 
(B) b+d = d,a,b 
(C) a+c+d = b,c 
(C) b+c = c,d 
(D) a+b = b,d 
(D) b+c+d = d,b,a,c 

**Method 2**
If you want to solve it logically, this is an easier chart to follow. 

A = A _ C D 
B = _ _ C D 
C = A B _ _ 
D = A B _ D 

Basically, if you want to toggle only "A" you press the buttons A C D in any order. (1100) -> (0100) 
So, you can figure out which lights you need to toggle, and follow the chart. 
If you have to press a button an even # of times, you don't need to press it at all.For example, if you want to toggle lights A and D, you only need to press BC. (1010) -> (0011) 

*You can also choose to remember certain combo toggles. I suppose through the practice, the solution would become second nature.*

**Method #3 - Brute Force**
Press *B - C - D - C - B - A - B - C - D - C - B - C - D - A - C* and it gets solved every time. 
*(BCDCBABCDCB CDAC)* <- how I remember it 

__**Transformer**__

- **Fuse:** Red, Blue, Blue, Blue.
- **Grenade Launcher/Magnum:** Red, Red, Red, Blue
- **Fuse (After Electrocution):** Red, Red, Blue, Blue

__**Clock Tower (Music Box)**__
PC version plays always the 1.0 version, so the solution for that puzzle is
*Up, Down, Up, Up, Down, Up*

Playstation has 2 versions 1.0 and 1.1
- If you're playing the 1.0 version of the game, the solution is *Up, Down, Up, Up, Down, Up*
- If you're playing the 1.1 version of the game, the solution is *TOTALLY RANDOM*

__**Clock Tower (Paintings)**__
The starting time of the middle clock can be used to know which orbs you have to use (from left to right).

**11 o'clock**
Amber - Obsidian - Crystal

**10 o'clock**
Amber - Crystal - Obsidian

**9 o'clock**
Obsidian - Amber - Crystal

**7 o'clock**
Obsidian - Crystal - Amber

**6 o'clock**
Crystal - Amber - Obsidian

**5 o'clock**
Crystal - Obsidian - Amber

*Fast solutions are 11 and 9 o'clock*

__**Hospital (B3)**__
Use the valves:
*I, III and A* (check the image)
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EETHtG9VJtI/VIb-9V-SMYI/AAAAAAAAAtA/ttCMKh36rK8/s1600/vaccine.jpg

__**Hospital (4F) Speed Solve**__

There are only 4 solutions to the puzzle:

The cabinet placement is based on the place of the one in the opposite room and the # you get from the doctor's corpse. If the cabinet is on-screen, check the position, then hold *↓ + Run + Action.* to exit since you'll have half a second before the sliding worms get out. (you can get zombies in that room too) Otherwise, check the doctor's corpse.

- Cabinet is on the right - Code is 104.
- Cabinet is on the left - Code is 325.
- 253 - Push cabinet up and to the right.
- 531 - Push cabinet up and to the left.

__*Fastest solution*__ 531 > 253 > 325 > 104 __*Slowest solution*__

__**Water Sample - Factory**__
The water sample puzzle can be solved just by looking at the first two unit placements:

**High-Empty (H-E)**
A: Right x1
B: Right x1
C: Left x2

**Medium-Low (M-L)**
A: Right x1
B: Right x3
C: Left x4

**Medium-Empty (M-E)**
A: Left x4
B: Right x2
C: Left x2

**High-Low (H-L)**
A: Left x1
B: Left x2
C: Right x2

__*Fastest solution*__ H-E > H-L > M-L > M-E __*Slowest solution*__
