Resident Evil 2 guide · Exploration of the second floor and library

After ascending to the second floor, you explore the east and west wings, including the Shower Room, the S.T.A.R.S. Office, and the Library. You must solve dial-lock lockers, acquire critical tools such as the Battery and the Red Book, and interact with the Unicorn Medallion puzzle.
