    Resident Evil 3 Any% PC TWN
    Hi There, I am Ecdycis and these are my notes for Resident Evil 3 Any% PC TWN
    This is a basic guide if you want to get into Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Speedrunning and will be referring to the category Any% PC TWN. Most of the routing can carry over to the rest of the game but keep in mind about significant differences such as difficulty, additional routing, or puzzle if you aren’t doing Any% TWN
    The guide will give a solid grasp on how to beat the game but the rest of the tricks and skill will be up to you. I highly recommend checking out the video guide by Orchlon or watching some runs beforehand so you have an idea of what to expect. It may also help to read this guide along while watching a run
    Before you read understand
    1. This guide is using the autosplitter as a reference which will split on pretty much every door in the game
    2. I have included parenthesis for route changes since if you get Magnum or Grenade launcher it will definitely vary, Grenade will be the default
    3. I have not put down any herb you may find, you will see them as you play and can grab them as you wish. I recommend weaning yourself off the herb early on so you can primarily use the 1st Aid that is much more convenient for routing
    4. There are resources available on the SRC page, GET THEM
    5. To get on the leaderboard you must complete the run without dying. This is due to the in game timer resetting back to where you had a save point/continue which can be abused
    6. If you plan on streaming this it is easier to use Display Capture on OBS than it is to get window or game capture working. Most PC games of the time will have issues with this
    Now that we’ve covered that it’s time to begin!

    Closing
    If you’ve made it this far without dying great job! You are now a certified RE3 runner and can properly complain about the RNG that hates you.
    If you’ve beaten the game but died you still did great, but your run won’t be valid until you can beat it without dying. Still you managed to beat one of the toughest horror speedgames and you should be proud.
    I recommend you get some saves on the parts of the game you’ll need to work on. In addition to that don’t worry about resetting until you are top 10 or have hundreds of attempts under your belt, the more you play the game the easier it will get.
    There are also plenty of other runners who are more than happy to assist you in both the discord, forums, or possibly your chat if they notice you doing runs.
    Thank you for reading and good luck out there, I hope to see you on the leaderboards soon!
