Resident Evil 3 guide · The boss fight against Nemesis
← All areas in this guide

Jill reaches the upper levels and roof of a building under construction while fleeing Nemesis, who is now armed with a flamethrower. You must navigate around piles of building materials to avoid his fire sweeps and shoot his fuel tank until it explodes. Once the tank is destroyed, you must finish depleting his health as he attacks more aggressively with physical strikes and broken tank sweeps.

Enemies

Nemesis (Flamethrower)
Weak to The fuel tank on his back, and his exposed heart/head

Uses a flamethrower to sweep the arena and shoot fire into the sky; destroys his own weapon once the tank ruptures.

Tips

  • Use the yellow concrete and wood pillars to block Nemesis's flamethrower stream and line of sight.
  • A well-placed explosive round from the Grenade Launcher or several direct Shotgun blasts to the fuel tank on his back will rupture it quickly.
  • When Nemesis aims his flamethrower into the sky, fire will rain down in arcs; keep moving to avoid the lingering flames on the floor.
  • After the fuel tank explodes, Nemesis uses the burning remains of the nozzle as a club, making his melee attacks faster and wider.
  • Shoot the small electrical generator on the roof to temporarily stun Nemesis if he corners you or gets too close.
