Here we go, racing around the streets of Raccoon City and into the so-called safety of the police station.

The most difficult thing about hardcore is probably limited item space. That, and Mr. X (the Tyrant) seems much more aggressive. Christian and myself will lead you through the halls in good time, while allowing you time to grab all of the goodies. First of 3 saves is the sewer entrance.

NOTE: The magnum is grabbed in a later section, don't panic!

Starting from the giant gator, we swap game-play to Ada, then attempt to rescue her as we dredge through the grossness of human waste from the former citizens of Raccoon. Before we save, we will grab the magnum and all upgrades, then solve the chess-plug puzzle. Using our second typewriter opportunity, we'll save you from the headache of the next big danger.

Dodging some monsters, clearing others, we will race through the labs to establish ourselves in the west wing, just before the real fight begins.

Regrettably, I was unable to obtain the third hip pouch available, as a few time traps pointed out in the previous videos got the better of me. However, I do explain how to get it if you have a better time than I do.

Just to be sure, it is in the room with the Flamethrower Regulator and the first ID Wristband Upgrade. You must return after obtaining the synthesizer, which takes about 5 minutes.

Finally, the moments we've all been waiting for, the big bosses!

To save magnum ammo, I took out Birkin's G3 with the handgun and knives. I explain that there is a better strategy than the one I have used (knifing the shoulder blades and spine) as well as the pointless conservation of the flamethrower (having saved all magnum ammunition, Super Tyrant (Mr. X's upgraded form) was an absolute breeze.
