NEST 2 (Lab 1)

Resident Evil 3 guide · Exploring the laboratory levels

After riding the freight elevator down from the Spencer Memorial Hospital underground storage area, Jill enters NEST 2 through Level 1. The objective is to secure the vaccine synthesis materials by acquiring an override flash drive, restoring laboratory power, and retrieving antigen and adjuvant samples. This initial tier connects directly to the lower incubation rooms and leads toward the vaccine synthesis chamber.
