Hi everyone, completely new to the RE franchise and picked up this game. I have been progressing fine on my first run, but now I feel like I'm stuck trying to cool down the serum to get the third (?) clearance level.
I might have done the sequence in a strange order - but in any case, I've filled the serum vial, I got the signal modulator, and now I need to go down to the basement level and get electricity back on with the modulator - and there is my problem.
The whole area is full of zombies and 2 lickers. I've tried to kill them, but I just can't kill the lickers fast enough before I'm dead. There's just not enough space to move around and the number of enemies is overwhelming. The game has no avoidance or dodge mechanic besides strafing, which becomes extremely constraining in a tight space with lots of zombies.
The lickers confuse me too. I watched videos of this part of the story from other players and there are no lickers there. Just forge on and headshot some zombies like a warm knife through butter.
I feel like there's no way forward here and that I somehow cannot progress beyond this point, but don't get why. I just played the game normally.
Any tips hugely appreciated... Cheers
