Resident Evil The Port Walkthrough
Compat Tips: Kipepeo
These flying mutants are either encountered flapping determinedly towards you in the wild, so to speak, or (more commonly) emerge from bodies after you kill certain Majini.
Kipepeo are relatively slow as they fly in your direction but are capable of dodging to either side with blinding speed when you aim at them (especially on higher difficulty levels). On the plus side, these evasive manoeuvres briefly halt their forward advance.
Their only form of attack is to grab Chris or Sheva with their single, cruel-looking talon from close range, so you will need to waggle left to escape.
As long as you don’t panic, Kipepeo are more of an annoyance than anything else: being forced to watch the skies during specific battles is a distraction that can enable other enemies to strike or move in closer than you would like while your gun is pointed elsewhere. If you struggle to look upwards, now may be the time to consider changing the Control Type you use.
Tactics: Dockside Battles
Here is a simple, but effective trick – if you enter the building that contains the Port Key through the back window without breaking the lock on the front door, your enemies will be forced to come to you via the same route. This breaks up their attack, removes the need to deal with the single Bow Gun Majini until you are ready and makes the Big Man Majini easier to slay. He is usually one of the last Majini to arrive, so you can weaken him with grenades or pistol fire before he climbs inside. Another interesting feature is that if you shoot and kill the Majini that run and hide when you first enter the market area, they will be removed from the following battle. For example, if you shoot the one that climbs over the stall to the left of the locked door, there will be no Bow Gun Majini standing here later.
You will sometimes encounter additional Kipepeo on this map, but this doesn’t radically alter the flow and feel of the combat. The second Big Man Majini is also worthy of note. On Normal, he is slow to press forward, and sometimes doesn’t spawn if you reach the trigger point quickly enough. On Veteran, though, he will usually run forward to engage you immediately.
Weapon: S75 Rifle
This bolt-action rifle is the most powerful weapon available at this point, but its slow firing and reload speed make it suitable for dispatching distant opponents only – unless you are some kind of crazily gifted sniping ninja, of course.
Hidden Treasures
- There is a Sapphire just around the corner to your left once you enter this area.
- You can find a Topaz hidden underwater next to the boat. There are also three hidden gold collectibles – two small ones on the near side, and a large one underneath a gangplank after crossing the boat to reach the other side of the map.
- Before collecting the Port Key, slash the pile of fruit directly outside the locked door to collect a hidden Hand Grenade. Use this to destroy the stall just to the right. This enables access to a concealed trunk, which contains the rare Ruby.
- Climb onto the roof of the building where you find the Port Key to collect an Emerald.
- A Jewel Bangle is dropped by each of the two Big Man Majini you encounter.
