Lost in Nightmare / Desperate Escape [Spoiler Discussions go here]

[Carnivol]

I almost shitted my pants when I encountered the first one in the stairs.

I was the poor bastard that walked up those stairs on the first run and got an anchor in the face out of nowhere. That was PURE EVIL and ingenious.

[TheOrganization]

that happened to me on my second playthrough, even though i knew he was there, i snuck up there, no warning music at all and bang, anchor in the face out of nowhere

During my first playthrough i had to quit half way through to go out. When i cam home and tried to continue from where i left it i couldnt find any continue option. Why not put a continue option in there, i know its short but damn lol

[Stu]

Thanks Stu and those who helped/made this list. I was pissed off because on my second playthru I couldn't find three of these little buggers. But they'll learn the hard way that payback is a bitch!

Thank you very much! Played through multiple times today, and I kept missing the last four or five. I think I'll give another playthrough later on Amateur to collect these stars. Greatly appreciated. :]

No worries! Was having fun trying to locate them myself, TheBatMan was able to find two more, and then FoxyAreku comes along and points at a website with the complete list already. Total spoiler haha

anyone got advice on getting the wesker achievement, only one i need now

Basically, you need to either co-operate with your partner or be good at QTE-dodging.
Spoiler:

When he attacks you (in a QTE-way), you need to dodge and attack him from behind (attacking from the front/sides will usually just make him block).
If you've got a co-op player this is much easier.

Also, you can trigger QTE attacks from him (the ones that shows tiny cutscene like things of him where he gets ready to rush up to you) by either just gaining a distance from him or by gaining a little distance from him and shooting at him 3 times (the third bullet/dodge should trigger it towards the person who shot the third shot).

Once you've done enough, he'll drop a Score Star and you'll also get the achievement. It'll also automatically deplete any remaining time, so it'll trigger the ending cutscene.

(Beware of his evil instant kill attacks and triple combo/execution. Though, if you suck at QTEs, your partner "can" interrupt them + sometimes also prevent you from losing health, even if you got hit )

[edit]
By the way, I love all the differences between the difficulties. Man, they didn't cut themselves some slack when it came to making sure you wouldn't know how everything works when changing difficulties.


Also, random note, in the Piano room;

Jill doesn't have to play the entire song. She only needs to play it long enough for Chris to be able to shoot the button to the right of the shield (which will force the door to instantly fully open)

Am I right in saying that this Alex character that Spencer mentions is another Wesker child? They're really using the Wesker children, and this is a possible setup? Fuck you Capcom, I'm out!

Other than that, I really enjoyed Lost in Nightmares. It basically confirmed what I want them to do for REmake 2, Resident Evil 4 style with slow pacing, it could work. Pity that'll never happen though.

I had kind of hoped that there was only one of those enemies, and he would be persistent like Nemesis, or they had maybe two or three different models or variations on him. That, or they could have just filled the level with zombies. That'd have been nice.

I really wish this was in the retail Resident Evil 5 now. If they didn't mention this level at all, and halfway through the game you were thrown into this classic Resident Evil style section, a ton of people would have been blown away.

I might play the exploration part of LiN tonight, and when I need to go through the door under the stairs, I'll swap out and load 4-1 from the retail, and imagine that the area under the stairs led to an Umbrella lab. It'll feel so right.

Thanks to TheBatMan for contributions 03 and 14, and to FoxyAreku for ruining the fun of the hunt! haha

Awesome Stu! Thanks for this info haha.

I could use it for my playthrough later when I get the DLC.

[Carnivol]

Yeah. Would've been awesome if they could've crammed it in there somewhere. But the main "problem" I see is the casual idiots that frown upon character swaps and all that.

Was indeed surprised to see there was only one real enemy duplicated all over the place (though, you had those conveyor-belt zombies hanging around, wanting to grab you at the least troublesome times)

There were a few nice surprises playing through it on the various difficulties, though.

But, yeah, would've been a bit more awesome if he was more Nemesis-like.

How many of those bastards were there anyway? What's with all the "Al-names" and what's Spencer up to...?

People wanted more Jill, so Capcom is releasing DLC starring Jill.
People also wanted more Wesker so... new villain, Alex Wesker?

The experiment list was interesting to say. I am hoping that "William" is not the same Birkin we know. But the question is, if that is the case, then is this experiment list the list of Wesker children or different tests?

[Stu]

I'm confused about emblems...can anyone confirm whether they spawn randomly? Because i just played through trying to get the ones from my list and two weren't even there!

[TheOrganization]

im having the same problem, all but one of them was there for me

When i played through hunting last night...in the first dungeon area where a Keeper smashes through the wall...right before he does that, there's a shelf, and i swear there was an emblem there!

I checked another guide, and there's an emblem on the ceiling right before the emblem in the cell in the guy's hands on the floor.

I'm well confused.

Are they spawning randomly through different difficulty levels i wonder.
