Yep, I did shot one two times in the head and finished it with the knife.
(Make sure you slash the head)Sure it is. You need to aim for the head to be effective though.

Burn - Do the Happy Birthday puzzle as Ethan but open the barrel so you spill oil.
Exploding - Maybe die from the Time Bomb in the happy birthday puzzle?
Suicide - ?? oh maybe blow yourself up with your own remote bombs?
Stabbing - Fail to resist Mia in either the prologue or the fight in the ship (when you choose to save Zoe)
Remote Bombs for suicide maybe?

Yup. That's how I got through the basement the first time.

Chris - I'm no hero, never was never will be.
What makes you say that?
Yes. It's not the best idea. I ran out of ammo in the basement the first time, and tried to knife. Got slaughtered because despite two shotgun blasts the knife seemed to be doing nothing..
There's an issue with inconsistency with the molded. 3 headshots sometimes downs them, other times it doesn't. Likewise with shotgun blasts (even to the head)- sometimes a OHK, other times, nothing, and knife slashes are the least reliable.
nope

...fuuuuuck. i have wasted SO MUCH AMMO missing headshots on these things.
I'm curious, but I might have missed this in earlier pages - has anyone ripped the text from the credits yet? I was able to make out some sections of it, and it's clearly a sales pitch for the E-series - mentions that it's provided as a child so you can raise it how you prefer, states that its intended purpose is Mind Control... that's all I got, so I'm deeply curious.
The annoying thing about this game is that head shots don't normally crit until the recovery animation is finished. So basically, when you shoot something in the head and it reels from the damage, wait until it recovers then shoot it in the head again. Shooting something in the head repeatedly during the reeling animation appears to be practically useless..
With respect to the shotgun and grenade launcher this kind of makes sense, since they have tiny clips and lengthy reloads. But the hand and machine guns...
I couldn't really catch much but I just wanted to say that the reasons and use case for the E-Series bioweapon is pretty grounded and fucked up that it really hits home in today's climate a lot more than any other previous bioweapon in the series. It's simple but fucking effective. Kudos Capcom.
I was checking RE.Net as I played to see what it is that unlocks the challenges, but it logged me out without me realising around the party area. Burn can't be done by flame rounds, it must be the party room.
I managed them all apart from Stabbing, which I think needs to be done in the initial Mia encounter. I chose Zoe and was stabbed to death on the ship, but it didn't count unless a specific attack needs to be the finishing blow, and I didn't get it. I'm testing now.
I think that's correct.

I don't know why there are so many complaints about The Molded, I thought they were pretty scary. They look a bit scarier than the Regenerators even, were tough to kill and could appear outta fucking nowhere. I just wish there was more enemy variety, though I can understand why there wasn't. The series started off strong with the "giant mutated version of real animals" thing - snakes, spiders, bees, moths, alligators, etc - but ended up scraping the bottom of the barrel with bats and salamanders. To Capcom's credit though, the giant mosquitos or wasps or whatever were a nice touch. Not sure what else you could use though that hasn't been used before. Giant, mutated alligator gars maybe?
Just had a thought - why does Ethan still hallucinate images of Eveline after he was injected with the serum? That would imply he was still infected, right? How is that possible? What was the point of using the serum immediately then instead of waiting until completely escaping the swamp?

Just wait until it's all out and decide if it's worth it. I'm done prebuying DLC passes as I end up underwhelmed by the content more often than not.
As far as I recall, Ethan never had any serum. He injected one into Jack to calcify him and he gives the other to either Mia or Zoe, depending on who you choose.
I have a better question though, how in the world does Mia not calcify when you inject her with the serum if she's been deeply infected for over 3 years?
The documents in the Salt Mines says there's only a very short window where the serum doesn't become fatal.

Ethan was injected with the serum?

He was never injected with serum, he's only in the early stages of infection. So killing Eveline meant that he's essentially cured. (He might still have regenerative powers though like Lucas. Dunno exactly)
Are we sure the Serum and the necrotoxin are the same thing? I thought Jack calcified when hit with the serum because his body was entirely made of fungus at that point, not because that was what the serum did.

Beat it for the first time on normal yesterday morning. Took about 15 hours because I was taking my time (hint: ran around a lot trying to figure out what to do haha). Really enjoyed it. Great experience. I think Ethan saying "Okay, FINE" after picking up the handgun before Mia's chainsaw fight was my favorite line of his.
Did a run on easy mode last night to try to get the speedrun trophy but I was still too slow (6 hours).

She still had sanity/could control herself somewhat. I believe the point of no return is when you literally can't fight back or if Eveline causes it directly or if you sustain a fatal enough wound. The reason why Zoe died and not Mia is probably because Eveline still considered Mia her mommy. Zoe could control her own actions but Eveline forced the calcification.
Even until the end after she locked Ethan out of the tanker, Eveline didn't kill Mia for that reason. Or she couldn't due to focusing on Ethan. As for why Mia calcified when you stabbed her in the Tanker, it's the same as Margeurite. She took enough damage to the point where it crossed a threshold.
This seems inconsistent to me because we have actively seen Eveline kill people from the tanker in Mia's memories without calcifying them. There are even tons of bodies in the Tanker that are dead, but not calcified.
As I recall from the documents, once the fungus cells overtake enough of the human cells, the subject begins to visibly mutate. At which point, it's too late to save that person (the serum becomes fatal). Mia visibily mutates every time she gets controlled by Eveline. Maybe the whole mutation thing is referring to what takes place when an infected person takes enough damage (how Jack and Marguerite mutate into monsters).
There's also the issue on what the Serum actually does. As I recall from reading the documents, the serum just calcifies the fungus cells. This is fatal if the subject is too far invaded to where much of their cells have been co-opted. I guess this would explain how Mia could still be controlled by Eveline and transform after being cured. She literally just gets re-infected (this process being so quick though doesn't make any sense though). The only way this works though is if Lucas received a different serum than Mia. Lucas kept all of the abilities pertaining to the Fungus without Eveline being able to affect his mind.
There are just a few too many inconsistencies for me to completely rationalize what's been going on though.
No,unless he got injected offscreen in the umbrella chopper.
Ethan,Mia and Zoe are still infected afaik.

They are dead but not calcified because they didn't take a serum. As for why infected enemies dont calcify upon death.. dunno
Once you cure Mia you don't see her mutate again (Unless you see it through the tanker window when she locks you out? But I thought that was just a visual effect on the door)
And Lucas got cured really early on compared to Mia so that's probably why Eveline was still able to affect Mia but not Lucas.

Maybe either the front or back chainsaw deaths from Mia in the prologue?
Maybe during the happy birthday puzzle when you the balloon bursts and you get stabbed by the quill?
As a casual player of the series (I've only played and beaten 4 and 5), I really enjoyed the game. Very spooky and I loved the first two thirds, but I was so bummed out about the ship section. Once you and Mia leave via the boat, I felt the game fell apart for me. When you get back to the house after the ship section, I was like, sweet now it'll get better, but then it just ended. "Fighting" Eveline was so anticlimactic. Still, I enjoyed the heck out of it and I can't imagine what it's like in VR.

Does it actually do damage? Would be hilarious if you had to get damaged to almost dead and then do that to die.
Maybe when you have to hold R2 while she's stabbing you in the arm in the prolouge if it's possible to fail that
Maybe, I don't know lol. I was just thinking of points in the game where you get stabbed.

I love Pokken!
Do we have an ETA on the DLC?
Are you referring to the dead bodies in the tanker? We see that Marguerite and Mia (in the Zoe ending) both calcify and crumble away due to excessive damage.
Anyway, I was just explaining confusion as to how Zoe calcifies. Every time we've seen Eveline directly kill someone it's never been due to calcification. If Zoe calcified due to the serum then Mia's non-caclification when you give it to here really doesn't make sense. Zoe was infected after Mia and doesn't seem to exhibit any effects of Eveline controlling her mind (which on a separate note make me think that Zoe and Lucas both received the same special serum and Eveline didn't have control over her).
I was referring to how Mia visibly changes when Eveline takes control over her, like when you fought her in the house. On the path where you give Mia the serum, she clearly start visibly changing again as Eveline is trying to take control. She just fights it long enough to lock the door so you aren't forced to fight her.
This really doesn't make sense. We see from the documents that the serum calcifies the fungus cells, which means that the cells are dead. Eveline has no way to control the host if the fungus cells are dead and calcified. This leads me to two conclusions, either the serum doesn't actually calcify the fungus cells, but somehow just breaks Eveline's control; or Eveline just re-infected Mia with new fungus cells, which haven't been affected by the serum. It's also implied that Lucas still has the regenerative abilities of the Fungus, which means the serum he received must be different.
I'm curious if the moulded, or Jack have a stabbing attack. I know basement Jack can one hit kill you or hack off your leg with the scissors, but I don't recall him stabbing unless maybe he does it with the shovel.
I'm pretty sure I've died at least once to that before, but I'll try again to be certain.
I thought that was a possibility, but on a previous playthrough I went into the puzzle with little health, but the game removed the "you're hurt" jam from the screen until the bomb explodes, at which point the jam returns.
Do you mean the bit where you are pinned to the wall through your hand? I wouldn't have thought it's possible to fail that. The whole section from Mia in the basement to Ethan grabbing the axe is automatic, but I'll give it a try next time I play.

Maybe the mutated arm molded? I know they can cut your leg off but it looks like they could maybe pierce you with it as well?
This was going to be a thing? Any source for this?
Oh ok. Yeah I was referring to when you come out of the basement and she attacks but if it's automatic then that can't be it

I was fully expecting a giant alligator boss like resi 2. Especially it being in Louisiana and seeing giant stuffed toy alligators everywhere.

Yeah my bad I meant regular molded. Now that I think about it though, it might have to due with who she regards as a family? Because the only people that calcify are the family members (Mia being one of them).
The more I think about it, yeah the Zoe death is weird. I mean she has been infected for a long time but you never see her controlled by Eveline. Unless it has something to do with what I said above.
The thing about Mia getting reinfected makes sense.
It is possible that Lucas got a special serum. Or he could have just been reinfected when he had to heal himself (such as his arm and fingernails) and then administered the serum to himself again. He couldn't have been infected the whole time otherwise Eveline would know about the lab and neurotoxin.

She saw Ringu and realized her entire existence was a sham...epic bratty tantrum ensues.
