List of survivor encounters in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

This is a list of all the survivor encounters in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Jack Street civilian[]

At the beginning of the game, when passing by the Boutique road for the first time, you will hear a man screaming in pain. More forward in the alleyway that leads to the backdoor of Bar Jack, you'll find out that the civilian is already dead, being devoured by two zombies. No matter how fast you are, the man will always be dead when reaching him.

When the two zombies see Jill, they immediately lose interest on the man's corpse and attack her. If you wait some time in the area (around 60 seconds), he will awaken as a zombie and attack Jill. If you leave this area without killing him and re-enter after, his zombie will appear next to the place where he was killed. After Jill's passage by the Raccoon Police Station, his zombified body will be gone.

Former S.T.A.R.S. officer Brad Vickers entering the Bar Jack[]

After Jill witness the death of the civilian in the Jack Street's alley, when you're passing the first time by the backdoor of Bar Jack, you'll hear the sound of shots coming from the playground. Going to the playground, you'll see Brad Vickers, a former pilot of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), shooting down a zombie. After this, he'll turn back and run entering the Bar Jack by its back door.

Sometimes, the zombie who Brad shot barely survives his wounds and rises to attack Jill.

Fission Street fleeing civilian[]

After leaving the Warehouse, if you re-enter on the Store area of the Fisson Street by the backdoor of Bar Jack or by the Y-shaped alley, Jill will hear a woman screaming "Help!" in despair.

More forward, you will see a civilian (maybe a teenager) running away from two zombies that are chasing her, and she enters the passage to Warehouse. Following her, when you approach the passage's entrance, it's possible to hear her screaming "No...!" when the scream is abruptly interrupted. Entering the passage, you will find her already dead beside a zombie, most likely the one that killed her. No matter how long the player remains in the area she will not awaken as a zombie. There's a template for female zombies very similar to her, but with notable differences (for example, the zombie template is with two shoes, she's with only one).

There's no way to save her: it's impossible reach her in time before she enters the passage because she is faster than Jill. Also, if you go to Fission Street passing by the Y-shaped alley (which leads directly to the Warehouse's front) or kill the two zombies who surrounded her the first time you pass this area, when you approach the front of the Warehouse passage, you will hear her last scream and she is found dead beside the zombie in the same manner. You can end the game without seeing this scene, however, by doing that you can't access the Warehouse to get the Dario's memo and the gunpower in the container where Dario Rosso locked himself.

Warren Street unseen shooter[]

When Jill enters the Parking lot road (there are some zombie dogs lurking around) for the first time, she will hear distant gunshots and a man screaming "No!". Both the voice and the gunshots stop shortly after with the sound of bites and meat being eaten, suggesting the man has been killed.

Going forward around the crashed bus in the front of the Parking lot, you'll see a zombie dog chowing down on an Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (UBCS) mercenary's corpse (who died being bitten on the neck). Unlike the two other survivors Jill and the player can find, the UBCS' texture is not a template for zombies in the game and re-appear only in the construction area as another dead UBCS mercenary is apparently killed by Drain Deimos.

UBCS mercenary Carlos Oliveira's first appearance[]

UBCS mercenary Carlos Oliveira's very first appearance. When passing the Restaurant passage for the first time, you'll hear someone shout "Scum!", followed by the sound of gunshots. If you go to the right quickly (to the Grill 13 restaurant front entrance), you can briefly see Carlos in the distance killing a zombie close to him with his handgun. After that, he turns back and runs into the restaurant.

It's impossible reach Carlos before he turns and runs away, it's also impossible help him to kill the zombie as he does it too quickly to help.

Carlos running from zombies[]

After Jill meets the UBCS team in the Tram, when you're going through the corridors of the Shopping district alley, you'll see Carlos screaming and running from a small group of zombies pursuing him and leaving the area going to Flower Street.

To spare ammo, you may let the zombies follow him and go through Grill 13's back entrance.

Further notes[]

Only the first half of the game feature survivor encounters, and only two of them who feature civilians who are not long for the world. This was probably to give more coherence to the game's plot: The original Japanese introduction states that most of the civilians, RPD officers, RFD firefighters, and UBCS mercenaries died prior to September 26.
The man killed on Jack Street looks like a template for civilians (image) seen in Resident Evil: The Missions, BIOHAZARD THE STORIES and BIOHAZARD the episodes.
Some fans from the series believe that the Fission Street's girl is Lucia Rosso, Dario Rosso's daughter mentioned by him in the game's beginning, but this is contradicted in the Dario's memo: "My wife, daughter, mother... my entire family has been killed."
The shots heard in the Warren Street District are similar to a Machine Gun, but you don't find it on the UBCS' dead body. You can only pick up a Gun Powder B examining him.
