He's literally the worst thing to ever be put into a video game, and I never realized that until now.

There's literally no strategy involved when fighting him. None. Dodging his attacks is useless since he'll inevitably hit you later and there's nothing you can do about it. Absolutely nothing. No matter what you try or do, it doesn't matter. If you don't have healing items when fighting him, you will lose. No strategy.

I'm not talking about his last form. I'm talking about the second time you fight him in the clock tower. If you have no healing items, restart the game. There's nothing that can be done. He will cheaply kill you every single time. It doesn't even matter how much grenade launcher ammo you have. You will lose. Maybe if the dodging moves that Jill made weren't randomly generated numbers it would be possible, but since there's literally no way to actually execute them at will, it eliminates any possibility of ever dodging his attacks for long.

So, if you happen to not have any healing items or magnum ammo at that point, the only thing you can do is restart the game. Luckily I had one the first time playing through. Now that I don't, however, it means I've wasted my time playing this game again.

RE3 is the worst Resident Evil only because of this. It's unfair. There should still be a way, but there isn't, because the game cheated me and decided to make a little slip up cost me the entire play through.

EDIT: In fact, RE3 is the worst game of all time and you would be wrong if you disagree.

EDIT2: So any tips?

EDIT3: Guess this should be moved . . .

EDIT4: Wait, can I just run away?

Pfft... wimp. Man up, wussy boy.

Start another game and follow my tips to end up with more health items and ammo than you can ever use in one game.

*Always avoid Nemesis in optional encounters. Aside from the clock tower courtyard battle and the last two battles with him, the only times he corners you, he can be dealt with or avoided by environmental means such as pushing him off the top floor of the clock tower or jumping off the dead factory bridge.
*Stash first aid sprays unless you absolutely need to use one.
*Don't combine multiple green herbs. Stash them and only combine them with red herbs (numerous of which can be found on the way to and in the RPD station). This stretches out your supply. Trust me.
*Save shotgun shells for enemies like Drain Deimos, Brain Suckers, Web Spinners, and Hunters. Zombies and zombie dogs (when they can't be avoided) are easily dealt with with the pistol. Save grenades, magnum cartridges, and mine thrower rounds for Nemesis.

Follow those tips and you should have plenty of heath items and ammo throughout the game. I always do.

he's easy to kill even on hard mode with a handgun, when your at the RPD for example, the live selection comes up choose 'fight with the monster' nemesis will try to run up to you and hit you but you:




so you see his arm with all the belt buckles on?


ALWAYS run torwards that arm beacuse that is his weak arm


when you think you made a good distance away from him automaticcly aim your gun at him and start shooting


when he gets close to you do the same thing, run past his weak arm with all the belt buckles




ive seriousy beaten RE3 a COUNTLESS number of times trust me i know

Same is with the tyrant fight in the plane in CVX. A lot of people had to restart the whole game.

I beat him with a knife .

Nemesis is awesome. I've played games that are way more unfair (like SFIV or Ninja Gaiden).

He's easy enough to fight. But OP is right about one thing... Nemesis is a douche. Want to kill him easily? Two words: Freeze Rounds.

I have already skipped that optional battle, but I did indeed want to beat him someday. Thanks for all the tips! I'm definitely trying out the freeze round thing as well.

However, there must be a secret to being able to dodge at will whenever you want.

If Nemesis wasn't in RE3, it would be one of my least favorite RE games and now it's one of my favorites so Nemesis doesn't suck.
