3-1: Marshlands
- YouTube: Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough - Marshlands Pt 1 (Time: 9:41)
- BSAA EMBLEM: Take Sheva's S75 and walk directly forward to the railing. From the power line to your left, you'll see a pair of cables running far away to another pole in the distance. Zoom in on this pole and you can barely make out the glimmering emblem, midway up the pole. Line up a shot and wait until your scope overlaps the emblem before firing. Make sure to give the gun back to Sheva when you're done.
- Walk onto land and pick up the Beast Slate. Just ahead, examine the body of the BSAA soldier for some info on Delta Team.
- TREASURE: Turn right. On one of the trees against the fence, you'll find the Beetle (Brown).
- TREASURE: On the left side of this area, you'll see a collection of shields, with animal skulls on top. Slice this arrangement with your knife to reveal the Ruby (Pear).
- This is all you can do on the south dock. Go back to the boat and press B to get on.
- To drive the boat, press RT move forward and LT to go in reverse. Use the left thumbstick to steer and the right thumbstick to position the camera.
- Head to the objective marker on the west side of the map. You'll be prompted to press X when you get close enough to the dock.
- Just before the door, you'll find the Slate Map. This tells you where to find the other slates in this area, like the Beast Slate you picked up earlier. You can insert the Beast Slate now by approaching the door and pressing X.
- Get back on the boat and head straight to the island in the middle of the map. You'll have to go around the left side of the wall ahead to reach the dock.
- BSAA EMBLEM: Get off the boat, then step on land and move to back and to the left, so you're standing just in front of the canoe by the shore. Look underneath the hut, slightly to the right side. You can hit the emblem with your pistol, or use a rifle.
- TREASURE: Head into the hut. At the far end, there's a chest containing the Chalice (Silver). Also, be sure to grab the Egg (White) in this room. They can be eaten or sold for money.
- Grab any other Eggs and ammo around the island, then get back on the boat. Head to the east island from here.
- Get off the boat, pull our your shotgun, and get in the water ahead.
- WARNING: These waters are filled with deadly alligators. One chomp and it's over.
- Start by moving forward and slightly to the left. You'll see the first alligator in front of you, it's eyes and part of its nose sticking out of the water. Wait until it gets close, then hit it right on the nose just as it's lunging towards you.
- Keep moving forward, around the left side of the obstacle in front of you. As you move toward the canoe, look to your left. There's another alligator coming. Shoot it the same way you did the last one.
- Turn so you're facing south. An alligator approaches from this direction, but this one is stronger than the others. Stand back and give it a few blasts with your pistol or machine gun, then use the shotgun to hit it as it lunges.
- Go around the left side of the canoe and move towards the underside of the structure ahead. There's another alligator here. Shoot it, then turn around. In the distance, another more powerful alligator approaches. Kill it, and you'll ensure a safer journey back to the boat later.
- Keep moving under the hut and climb up the ladder at the back side.
- As you circle around the dock, jump through the window of the hut.
- A few infected will drop in front of you. Hit them with a blast from your shotgun, then raid the room for supplies. Exit through the doorway and head towards the "X" on your map.
- Go around the back of this hut and kill the Majini waiting there. Then, jump through the window in the back. Open the chest to get the Raptor Slate.
- TREASURE: Now, go back down to the water. Just before you exit the underside of the building, look on the right post. You can grab another Ruby (Pear) off the wall.
- You're not out of the woods yet. Take the same path you took before to get back to the boat, but walk slowly after you pass the big obstacle in the middle of the water. Another alligator lurks just before the dock. Hit it with your shotgun as it lunges, then get out of here.
- Head to the northeast dock, and get off the boat.
- TREASURE: As you get onto land, walk up to the altar. Shoot the animal skull that's perched at the top to reveal the Emerald (Pear). Be sure to break open the pots around here to reveal ammo.
- Keep moving along the path. Go into each small hut along the way to gather more supplies.
- TREASURE: When you reach the circular, enclosed group of huts, walk up to the red, broken ladder on the left and help Sheva up by pressing B. She'll grab the Idol (Silver).
- Now, help Sheva reach the stilted hut on the right. The Shaman Slate is here.
- YouTube: Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough - Marshlands Pt 2 (Time: 9:22)
- Getting the slate triggers a horde of enemies. Use your pistol on the first wave, as they don't pose much of a threat.
- The next group contains a few enemies with large shields. If you're letting Sheva carry a rifle, she'll do great work on these foes, but you can also help with the shotgun.
- One of the enemies will sprout a massive growth from its head. Wait until its fleshy innards are exposed, then fire at it with the shotgun. If the insides aren't appearing, sneak around to the back and shoot the enemy's tail.
- Finish off the remaining Majini with your pistol, and be sure to collect any ammo they dropped.
- Head towards the northwest island. Along the way, you'll see a sinking ship in the middle of the water. Find a place to park the ship and get out. At the back of the boat, up a small ramp, you'll find a Rocket Launcher.
- BSAA EMBLEM: Continue towards the northwest island. When you get out, walk towards the hut in front of you and look up. The emblem is in the rafters.
- TREASURE: Keep moving along the dock until you reach a ladder, leading to a small, enclosed area of water. Jump in and look to the post on your right for another Beetle (Brown).
- TREASURE: Going off the beaten path is rewarded. Climb up the ladder on the dock to the high platform. At the end of this path, there's another Chalice (Silver).
- Now, go back to the boat and head to the last marker, in a narrow inlet on the west side of the map.
- Once you wind your way around the watery maze, get out and head up to the village.
- Jump through the window of the first building you see and crack open the vase for some ammo. Go out the door and head down to the open area with a treasure chest.
- TREASURE: Inside the chest, there's another Idol (Silver). Grab it, and break open the pot next to it for more ammo.
- Now, start heading north. A group of Majini will ambush you.
- Retreat, allowing the Majini to clump together. If you have a grenade, now's a great time to throw it at the group. Pick off the survivors with your pistol.
- More Majini will come from behind. Find a safe place to position yourself -- near the treasure chest, for instance -- and use your machine gun or shotgun to thin the crowd. You can finish this group off with the pistol as well.
- Now, head north like you were going to before. Turn left before you reach the building ahead, and go to the shack that has the last slate.
- No more surprises here. Just grab the Warrior Slate and get off the island.
- YouTube: Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough - Marshlands Pt 3 (Time: 9:23)
- As you're leaving by boat, the Majini will raise a gate to try and stop you. Pull along side the long bridge and let Sheva pick off the first three guards. Don't move too fast, or she won't be able to aim.
- Now, move towards the gate. To the left, there's a tower with the last Majini. Let Sheva get a clear shot, and the gate will open once he's defeated.
- As you're exiting, dodge the Majini in the water. You can get around them pretty easily, and they're not worth the fight. Go to the island indicated by the objective marker.
- You can now insert the remaining slates at the door. You'll have to press X several times to insert each slate. Press B to go inside once you've done this.
- BSAA EMBLEM: Get in the water and turn back towards the shore. The emblem is underneath the platform you were just standing on.
- Now, wade through the watery path. Look for the tower ahead, and shoot the Majini inside to stop him from hurling explosives.
- Go up the stairs and into the village. Start with the path on the left and look for supplies as you move through the village. There's plenty in the various pots inside buildings.
- As you get to the right side of the village, you'll be attacked by Majini, including two Giant Majini with elaborate head dressings. Killing them is a lot like battling The Executioner; you need to hit it with a powerful weapon, such as the grenade or shotgun, then follow up with a melee attack.
- If you go into the village's center room, you'll be trapped inside. However, this may be helpful as it isolates the enemy to a small area. Keep hitting the Majini with your best weapons, and use melee attacks when possible.
- After the Giant Majini, your priority should be the enemies firing explosive weapons. Hit them with your shotgun to knock them down.
- TREASURE: After clearing out all the enemies, make sure to search their bodies for supplies. The Giant Majini carry Blue Enigmas, good for 3,000 gold each. This room also has the Magnum, so be sure to grab that before leaving.
- Find the narrow path that leads towards the next objective, and climb up the ladder at the end.
- Have Sheva turn the crank in this area, then back down the path and to the right to the bridge. Cross it and go into the hut.
- Don't bother breaking the pots on the table in here. Only snakes are inside. However, do break the large pot near the stairs for some ammo.
- Go upstairs and pull the bar off the nearby door to let Sheva inside. Read the documents inside this room and gather supplies, then go on the path heading upwards.
- TREASURE: There's a tunnel at the top of this path, just before you turn and jump across a gap. Go into the tunnel and open the chest at the end for the Ceremonial Mask.
- Leave the tunnel and jump across the gap. Open the jars just before the gondola, then get on board by pressing B, ending the level.
