^ I like those Necromorph-things, too. They're very scary IMO, they create a tense atmosphere. But they're absolutely dreadful when you waste your ammo while gun-trigger-happily shooting zombies. Eh.

The glitch only happened once. Thank God.

The Necromorph-things (Jabberwock-somethings are their bizarre name) can actually be easily defeated with the handgun. Just aim for their chest, and when they step back with their arms open, shoot the heart on the left side of their chest. The only times you'll need more than the handgun is when you have to fight two of them (kill one quick with a powerful weapon like the grenade launcher) and when they're mixed in with zombies.

Regarding the file about Wesker's conversation with Javier, he is not referring to Ada. He is referring to an Umbrella broker mentioned in another file, who is later killed by Javier's men.

Ah, I see. Thank you. I'm slow when it comes to playing games when you haven't played a single game in, like... a very long time.

Don't they also shove the zombies out of the way every now and then?

Big 'hanks!

Are ALL the files on Hard or must we also play through Easy mode? I know the Normal mode files can be found on Hard, wouldn't that be the same for Easy mode as well? I'm still missing a lot yet I've shot each chapter to shit on Hard multiple times.

I know items are unlocked by getting S ranks on Hard in any of the chapters... please tell me its not the case with the files too.

It's pretty evident the files are referring to Ada. First off, "Javier's Private Messages" and "Correspondence with Wesker (FAX Documents)" are interconnected as both are from August 14th, 20XX. Secondly, the Japanese version does not use genders and instead refers to the broker as an "Asian", while the English version uses "man" in the one file and "woman" in the other.

Furthermore, they avoid using the term "Umbrella" altogether and instead refer to the company as the "umbrella shop" (if you wanted it to sound even less conspicuous, you could translate it to "brolly shop"). And Ada is not a "spy from Umbrella", but rather an "umbrella shop spy", not affiliated with them but, as Wesker said, still "sucking their blood" although she got out. Javier got suspicious after Ada asked Sergio for "estimated information about their sales" and told him to eliminate her. But as we all know from her role in biohazard 4, he didn't get her.

Where abouts is the scene where Wesker is talking to the characters via speakers?

I've unlocked all the audio files now, but I'm still missing some text files, enemy bios, and character bios. I still haven't unlocked any new alternate costumes since the initial few I got when I beat the game the first time. I'm getting really tired of destroying stuff in the environment.

I know items are unlocked by getting S ranks on Hard in any of the chapters... please tell me its not the case with the files too.

It turns out you don't have to get an S rank to unlock items. You do, however, have to meet certain requirements in the individual scoring statistics (i.e. number of headshots, enemies killed, etc).

Also, a note to whoever it was who was asking about unlockable weapons (I can't remember right now, I'm sorry), you unlock the Linear Launcher when you beat the game on Hard.

Anybody know how to kill the boss in chapter 4 of Operation: Javier? You know, the one that shoots projectiles at you? From the first chapter?

I just can't kill it. The spikes it shoots destroys me every time. Any tips?

Ah, those necromorph-looking things in O: J are so adorable! I just want to hug them!

But those skeletal bat-things with scythe hands are evil. EEEEEEEEVIL.

[Archelon]

Does anyone have all of the text files from Operation: Javier and Game of Oblivion? I'm missing three from OJ and one from GoO. I'd like to know which I'm missing and/or where they can be located.

EDIT:

Scratch that. Now I only have one text file left for Operation: Javier. I know which one it is, because it's on Project Umbrella. I just don't know where to find it. It's the "Javier's Private Messages" text.

Wow, the translation job on this game is a fucking disgrace. Where are you getting the Japanese text? Especially for the audio files?

Before entering the Ashford Mansion, Wesker begins talking to Claire. Not through speakers though, he's in the same area, just hiding.

Just saw the "good" ending of OJ, maybe it is just me, but Weskers model is... diferent, really diferent, it wasn't until he put on his sun galsses that he looked a bit like the other models he's had. Strange thing is, at the ending of Game of Oblivion his model is fairlly similar to the ones in previous games, maybe because he was far and had his sun glases on

Hey News Bot, you don't happen to remember where you found "Javier's Private Messages," do you?

Hey News Bot, you don't happen to remember where you found "Javier's Private Messages," do you?

Afraid not. The only "hot spot" for files I know of is in the garden where Manuela sees the corpses of her doctors. Shoot each and every single light you can. There are about 3 files altogether or something. I can't remember exact locations for other files. Another location is in the hidden "Javier's victims" passage, take the left turn and when you open the gate door, shoot the boxes with the shotgun. There are 2-3 files altogether there. Not sure if there are any if you take the right turn.
