Subway Power Substation

Resident Evil 3 guide · Restoring power to the subway trains

Jill enters the Subway Power Substation to restore electricity to the subway train control system. Inside the nested maze area, she must activate four individual circuit breaker switches while dealing with Parasite-inflicting Drain Deimos. Once all breakers are flipped, she returns to the control room to flip the main switch before heading back to the Subway Control Room.

Tips

Always carry at least one Green Herb into the breaker maze to instantly cure the Parasite status if infected by a Drain Deimos.
Shoot the yellow electrical generator boxes in the maze corridors to electrocute and instantly kill nearby clusters of Drain Deimos.
Follow the overhead red power cables running along the ceiling of the maze to easily locate all four breaker switches.
