Raccoon City Police Department (3F)

Resident Evil 2 guide · Exploration of the third floor and clock tower
← All areas in this guide

Players access the third floor and Clock Tower to retrieve key progression items, including the Large Gear and the boxed electronic part needed for the jail cell panel. The area requires navigating cramped, zombie-infested corridors, solving the Clock Tower gear mechanism puzzle, and avoiding the relentless pursuit of the Tyrant. Completing this route allows access to the rear balcony passage and helps complete the power panel circuit in the R.P.D.

Tips

  • Carry the Large Gear into the Clock Tower, retrieve the Small Gear, and swap them between the lower and upper mechanisms to trigger the bell and release the electronic component.
  • Listen carefully for footsteps, as the Tyrant frequently patrols near the East Storage Room and the balcony corridor outside the Clock Tower.
