Chapter 1-1 is the opening chapter to Resident Evil 5. It is set in Kijuju, a coastal city in West Africa. The main enemies of this level are the "Town Majini", with the Executioner Majini being an optional though hard to avoid boss.

Plot[]

Chapter 1-1 is the opening chapter of Resident Evil 5, set in Kijuju, a coastal city in West Africa. The Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance has launched a major operation in Kijuju to apprehend Ricardo Irving, an American oil field director suspected of profiting from the black market sale of Bio Organic Weapons. The operation is split into several teams with their own roles: Alpha Team, led by Cpt. Dan DeChant will lead a squad into the warehouse believed to be the site of the next black market deal. In the event that Irving tries to escape, Bravo Team (Chris Redfield and his partner Sheva Alomar) will cut him off. Support will be provided by Charlie Team in the form of BSAA pilot Kirk Mathison.

Redfield arrives in the city outskirts south of the river out of uniform to better blend into the area, and walks with Alomar to a butcher's shop where their informant, Reynard Fisher , is based. Fisher directs them to the next area and warns them about the Uroboros Project, a rumored doomsday project which may, in fact, be real.

En route to the warehouse, Redfield and Alomar are cornered by local Kijujuans who have fallen prey to a mutant Plaga parasite spread around the city by Irving's customers and are known as "Majini". Finding themselves at an execution site, they witness Fisher himself being beheaded by the Executioner, a Majini mutated to great size and strength. The Majini leader, the Instigator, spots the two BSAA agents, and the audience attacks. Mathison flies overhead and fires a rocket at a massive metal door preventing their escape from the mob.

Rendezvous with your contact at the butcher's shop. You can gear up and get briefed on the mission there. Watch your backs!"

Walkthrough[]

Civilian Checkpoint[]

RE5DX10 2014-10-11 18-04-57-757

Local Kijujuans may appear threatening at the Checkpoint, but they will not attack.

The level begins at the south end of the Civilian Checkpoint. There are no items in this room, enemies to kill, or files to read. The player's objective is simply to go up the road, take a left, and continue to the end. Civilians (implied to be Majini) will carry a variety of weapons and stare at the player, but they will otherwise not attack. Additionally, there will be a group beating a man trapped in a bag who will stop to stare. At the butcher's shop, the player will be prompted to enter via the side door if they look through the shopfront.

Back Alley 1[]

After the cutscene, the player will be instructed to open a briefcase containing a Beretta 92. The equipment must be picked up, and the gun equipped to proceed. If this is not the first time playing Chapter 1-1, the player will be unable to pick up the equipment they already have and must simply equip a weapon.

Following the second cutscene, the new objective is to leave through the back door. Down a flight of steps, there is a dead dog on the corner of the path. While the player can simply continue on this path, going into the nearby building will reward them with two Green Herbs. Continue down the path and through the door at the end.

Back Alley 2[]

Resident Evil 5 Back Alley 8

The building at the end of Back Alley 2 must be escaped by taking an underground route where murders were committed recently.

This area starts within a Kijujuan man's home. In the cutscene, he is implanted with a Plaga and becomes a Majini, making him a target to be killed. In the next room, there are five Handgun bullets that will replenish the player's arsenal following the fight. As there is no accessible door, the player must then press the appropriate action button to jump out of the window into the alley below.

Outside, a cutscene will trigger, and a large group of Majini will spawn. They are clustered in large numbers and do not drop items, so farming is not possible. Players redoing the level can, however, earn a Topaz (Marquise), valued at ₦3,000, after killing thirty Majini and then a final dynamite-wielding Majini. Unless the player wants to collect this prize, they are strongly advised to simply run further along the path and up the stairs to the next area, collecting a Hand Grenade and Red Herb just against the door before entering.

The tunnel itself, where corpses are kept.

Following another cutscene, Chris and Sheva are now both trapped inside a building. Using an action prompt, both must work together to destroy a door that keeps the player and partner from exploring the rest of the building. This room is full of giant axes. A further x10 Handgun rounds can be collected nearby. Following this, the player must leave by dropping down a shaft into an underground tunnel. At the top of a ladder at the end, they can recover another Green Herb and x20 Handgun rounds split into two decks.

Public Assembly[]

Executioner

The Public Assembly is an expansive area, but at the start, most of it is sealed off behind a metal gate. The player must fend off a mob of Majini storming the building, even coming in from the ceiling after a while. Eventually, the Executioner Majini will appear and destroy the gate, allowing escape into the rest of the Assembly. This area closest to the gate consists of a crashed bus to shelter in, but which only has one entrance/exit and two buildings which can be climbed but which Majini will follow. Debris between the bus and buildings can be set on fire by shooting the petrol cans, which can cause injury to the Executioner and kill the Town Majini, with other petrol cans being dotted around the map. If the Executioner is killed, he will drop a Gold Ring worth N5,000. If the petrol cans have all been destroyed, there are also transformers which will send out massive surges of electricity when shot at. Beyond the crashed bus is a small building where the VZ61 machine gun can be found in a suitcase. Behind this building, the player can go up to a walkway for hanging, which will give a good sight of the Town Majini. Another walkway closer to the building at the start will lead to the building's roof and upper levels, where Hand Grenades can be collected. Town Majini will still attack at this height, though in lower numbers. This entire fight takes place with an unseen countdown timer, which ends up with Kirk Mathison destroying a second metal gate with a rocket launcher, ending the level. Therefore, if the player wishes to defeat the Executioner, they must face a countdown.
