The primary reason why I'm writing this file is because there are some change of item locations that exist in the Arranged Game. However, not too many people play the Arranged Game mainly because of the high difficulty of the Arranged Mode. This guide mainly covers the item changes from the original release of the game. Mainly, the Director's Cut features speech changes on Chris's game where he meets up with Rebecca at Richard's Corridor as opposed to the Serum Room on the Original Release. ======================================================================== WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR THIS FILE Like I said, this file will cover ONLY the change of Item Locations and the required areas to grab the required items for the Arranged Game for the Director's Cut CDs that have been lurking around stores and households since Capcom has decided to stop shipping the first release back in 1997. I will not bother creating a speed guide/walkthrough that will assist you in beating the Arranged Game in under 3 hours (maybe less if you are in task) because I don't want to spoil the fun of having to find the best order of tasks by yourself. Hopefully, if you have read the walkthroughs written by Vincent Merken, Tu Dang, Mark Stephenson, and Josh Harring, then you should be able to get a good idea on how to stay in gear as far as tasks are concerned. Since you don't get the Special Key if you beat the game with the BEST possible ending, captured Chris or Jill won't be that much of a big deal (but for Jill, I would say rescue Chris since her game is rather wimpy). ======================================================================== ERRATA COVERING CHRIS'S GAME Armor Key --------- The Armor Key is located where Forest Speyer is at. This is your first priority when right after you find that Albert Wesker and Jill Valentine has disappeared from the hall all of a sudden. Be careful as Forest Speyer will transform into a Zombie this time around. Emblem ------ The Emblem is at the location where you used to find the Star Crest at. It's at the double blue doorcase that has the Knight Statuettes, the Knight Statues, and the Sarin Vents. Lighter ------- The Lighter is at the same place you found it on the original game, but this time around, it's required. Moon Crest ---------- The Moon Crest is now split up into two halves. The first half is at the door left of the Deer Carving (Drain the Fish Canister and then move the objects forward to reveal a mini-door). The second half is at the Attic when you fight the Snake. Broken Shotgun -------------- It's at the place where you used to get the Chemical in the original game. Rebecca Chambers ---------------- You will find Rebecca Chambers once you get inside Richard Aiken's Corridor. You will have to get the serum and save Richard from the poisons before it's too late. If you save Richard from the poisons, then you will get the radio and you will play the Rebecca mini-quests. Sword Key --------- From Richard Aiken's corridor, proceed forward. At the intersection, take a left and take the dead-end door. Light up the candle with the Zippo (tm) Lighter and then move the cabinet to reveal a secret door. Walk inside the secret door and at the dead-end, you will be able to get the Sword Key. Colt Python (Magnum) -------------------- It's at the location you used to find the Broken Shotgun at the original game. Much of the reason you get it earlier is because the enemies are stronger than ever. The Closet ---------- No Special Key is required this time around. Just get inside a closet and change your clothes if you want to. Chemical -------- This item has moved. From the twisting corridor, at the first door from your right (I'm assuming that you were able to exit out of the Dog Corridor), open the door with the Armor Key and take the door. Keep on going forward and the Chemical should be at the range. Sun Crest --------- It's now held right at the statue that you can break from pushing the statue from the second floor dining room and dragging it away from the second floor. Star Crest ---------- It's at where you used to get the Armor Key at in the original game. Blue Jewel ---------- Once Rebecca's finished practicing the Moonlight Sonata, the door to the Gold Emblem will open. Take the Gold Emblem and put the Emblem to re-open the door. Now go to the Chimney and put the Gold Emblem in. The Grandfather Clock will stop ticking and give you access to the Blue Jewel. Shield Key ---------- Where you used to find the Star/Sun Crest in the original game right after you give the Tiger "blue eyes". Red Book -------- It's now located at the Bar at the Guardhouse. It's at one of the tables but be careful of the spiders that lurk around. Dorm Key 3 ---------- It's at the bathroom sink at Dormitory Room 2. Control Room Key ---------------- After destroying Plant, the Chimney will be clear to see and you should be able to grab the Control Room Key. Now go to the Control Room and drain all the basement water away! Helmet Key ---------- It's now at the "neighbor room" of the Control Room. Pick up the Shotgun Shells and then the Helmet Key. Now it's time to unlock the locked doors. MO Disc 1 --------- It's where you used to find the Doom Book 1 in the original game. Doom Book 1 ----------- It's now at the Library. Make sure that the Statue is at the correct place so that the shelf will give you access to Doom Book 1. Battery for the Courtyard ------------------------- At Library Room Number 1, there is a shelf blocking access to a secret door. Clear the blockage and then get in the secret room. The battery should be at the window where you see the Heliport. The Red Jewel Award ------------------- If you give the Tiger Red Eyes, then you will be given a hefty load of Colt Python Bullets instead. This is good because the enemies are tougher than in the original game. Hexagonial Crank ---------------- Right after Enrico Marini is shot to death, examine him and you should be able to access the Hex Crank. Doom Book 2 ----------- It's where you used to find the Second MO Disc in the original game. Lab Key ------- At the location you used to find the Doom Book 2 in the original game. Slides ------ Where you used to find MO Disc 3 in the Original Game. MO Disc 2 --------- It's at the same room where you access the electronically locked rooms in the original game, but it's at one of the shelves. MO Disc 3 --------- At the same place you used to find the Lab Key in the original game. Battery for the Heliport Elevator --------------------------------- It's somewhere at the same room you provide the power to the elevator to the Tyrant Research Area. Be sure to look carefully and watch out for the Lab Monsters that infest the Main Power Area. And now here are some of the speech changes (Assuming that you *did* see Rebecca at Richard's Corridor): * At Richard's Corridor, Rebecca tells Chris to identify himself. He tells Beckie and Richard that he's here to rescue them. Richard tells Chris to get the Serum. However, since Richard won't make it, Beckie tells Chris that she would like to grieve a little bit longer. However, Chris tells Beckie to move away since it's dangerous and is just hoping that she would know how to use a gun. * Right after Chris attempts to play the Piano, Rebecca told Chris that she wishes to grieve no longer and decides to help. * After Chris destroys Plant and retrieves the Control Room Key, Rebecca won't issue Chris a Radio since Richard already gave Chris his radio earlier on the game. Basically what the Director's Cut offer is some speeches and locations of the items that didn't make the final cut for the original release of the game. ======================================================================== ERRATA COVERING JILL'S GAME Being a Chris Redfield freak, I would say it's kind of unnecessary to cover the errata for Jill's Game. The item locations are the same as with Chris's. However, there are several things that you have to be aware of: * The Lighter is not required because Jill will be using a lockpick to open doors which required the Sword Key in Chris's game. * The speeches remain the same from the original game. Also, since the enemies are tougher, it would be a good idea to keep a spare healing item or two, and definitely save the First Aid Sprays against the Boss Enemies. * Jill may need the Colt Python in order to survive. Although the Bazooka Ammo and the Shotgun does Jill justice, you may need some more ammunition just in case something bad happens. Advanced players may wish to pass up the Colt Python, but life's easier with the Python. Since Chris's Arranged Game is insanely hard, it is strongly advisable that you either use a Game Shark (I know it sucks) or take some time to master Jill's Arranged Game first. I hate Jill's game. It's too wimpy (I agree with Josh Harring on this). ======================================================================== HOW TO MIRROR THIS FILE If you want to take a copy of this FAQ for yourself, just press print at your browser's button.

That is why you MUST follow the protocol as described in the Newsflash section of this document. ======================================================================== LINKING TO GAMEFAQS.COM AND VERASNASHIP.NET Listen, I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE LINKING DIRECTLY TO TEXT (OR ZIP/HQX) DOCUMENTS AT GAMEFAQS (as well as any other Text Document that everybody offers throughout the net)!!!!!! Because many people haven't read the fine print at GameFAQs.com, here's how to do it on this paragraph: To find the EXACT HTML URL for that particular page, Go to GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com) and use the Search Engine. Type Resident Evil on the Search Box, press GO, and click on the appropriate link. ONLY CUT AND PASTE ANY GAMEFAQS URL WITH THE "HTML" EXTENSION. Part of the reason why I'm doing this is because if you don't view an HTML Site, then you may not be able to run the ads that appear on top of the HTML Document, which IS NO FAIR TO THE WEBMASTER. For details about linking rules, visit http://www.templetons.com/brad/linkright.html which is Brad Templeton's Linking Rights Essay. The same thing goes with Verasnaship.Net. If you want to link to my site, link ONLY to the pages with the HTML Extension. To link to this document, please use http://www.verasnaship.net/text/arcade.html instead.
