Resident Evil 7: 7 Moments That Made Us Go Wait, What - SPOILERS

[@lanagievski1540]

The thing with the hand. They kinda established that the medicine has properties that can heal large wounds and even chopped off limbs. If you get stopped by Jack near the door on the floor after the dinner scene, he chops off your foot and dangles the medicine in front of you. You simply put the foot against the stump and pour the medicine on it and it seals back up

[@Razhork]

It isn't the medicine that does the work though. It's the early stages of being infected; you're not really under Eveline's mind control yet, but your regenerative powers have been amped up to 11. The medicine works more as a tool of speeding up the process. The reason his hand is stabled is most likely because Zoe couldn't provide him with medicine, so she had to stable them together so the nerves could regenerate, etc.

[@thomassticklee183]

Razhork is this a fact or somthing you just made up? because I believe your not infected, in resident evil 1-0 herbs seem to heal you even after getting scratched, or even beaten the shit out of no problem.herbs in this franchise are a really powerful medicine

The whole "new umbrella" thing is actually because the old Umbrella Corp is gone. Now, a mercenary group (which Chris is a part of) has taken up the name "Umbrella". They are literally the anti-umbrella.

[@massivelyscrewed177]

It's known as neo umbrella aka blue umbrella

[@MrKrory]

@@massivelyscrewed177 Neo Umbrella was the pseudo-Umbrella organization in Resident Evil 6 created by Carla Radames after her betrayal by Simmons and she splits off from The Family. Blue Umbrella, as it's affectionately called, is officially just known as Umbrella Co. - they specifically wanted to use the original name so that they could try and break the stigma of the original.

The entire point of the Game is to save Mia, if you saved Zoe, why the hell did you go through all that in the first place? :/

[@SrMano]

At the beginning it was all about Mia, but after a while the objective was to get out of there. Like when the cop showed up, did you saw Ethan going all like "My girl is in danger!"? No, he said: "I need to get THE FUCK OUT! NOW!".

[@TheAkrillion]

You know, have you ever thought that at the moment, Ethan was certain that Mia was dead, so his first thought would be: "Ah, crap. I accidentally killed my wife and now I'm being dragged away by this crazy old man. And now they're forcing me to eat this crap. Jeez, I need to get out of here". I'm pretty sure he thought Mia was dead until the whole thing with Lucas.

Ok,answer why the hell anyone would pick a random chick you met for a couple hours only on the phone instead of your wife,a.k.a the main person you came there to save in the first place

[@alexandriafrost9505]

@@caliqm2199 Okay so. On one hand you have your wife, how lied to you, worked for a criminal organization, didn't even do her job right, tried to kill a child (granted she was a bit insane but come on, look at how she was raised. A weapon. And even so Mia could have easily taken control of the situation simply by comforming to her desires, but instead looked at her as a monster), and basically becomes estranged and unhelpful the entire time. A person who not only caused the mess in the first place but also willingly lived with it like a dog rolling over to die. Then you have someone desperate to escape this cruel hell, who didn't ask for what she got and definitely didn't deserve it. She wanted to be free. Sure, she wanted to save her family too, but she also knew they were too far gone to help. She was helpful. She praised you, helped you, stapled your hand back onto your wrist, depended on you, made the serum, gave you all the information you needed to continue. Now you're asking "why pick a stranger over your wife". Its really all about perspective. But I believe the real choice was to save Zoe, because if you play the DLC to save her, she survives the ordeal with the efforts and help from her uncle. And it really only makes sense to see her calsify. The true choice I believe was to save Zoe because in the end, Ethan should have let Mia go in the first place. He never should have ran out there. He had no business out there. Yeah he came there to get her but in the end she caused this mess. She let Eveline go out of control and she didn't do a damn thing to take control of the situation but instead let dozens of innocent people die and it was Ethan who had to clean up her mess. Now I could also argue why Mia could have been the true choice but beyond the main story she isnt even mentioned or important. You have to somehow find it in yourself to forgive her for lying, working with a criminal organization, and telling him to forget about her for 3 years until finally he gets that note eveline made her send. Naturally, when it comes down to it, the only thing that makes Mia a choice to save is obligation because she was your wife. Life lesson fellas, never let obligation be the drive to make an important choice. Is this a good enough answer?

[@caliqm2199]

@@alexandriafrost9505 You make a valid point.But there are some points to your point that I don't think make a point.I don't think Mia should have conformed with Evie's desires,you think if Mia just complied with her request then everything would be fine and no one would have to get hurt?The Bakers (although not willingly) conformed and that happened,that's the kinda family Evie tried to create. As for Zoe,well she did make the serum and she does give you head for the serum,but except that I don't think she was the best sidekick.Throughout the game I was sorta like "Hey,could ya just tell me were the dog heads and keys are?Hey,I know I have to get past your mother,but could ya give me a few tips like what are her powers what should I do against her?" As I said before you make a valid point,but in my opinion Ethan should save Mia,subjectively. Objectively of course saving Mia is the best route as that saves both of them. Anyways can ya tell me what the hell was up with the Baker house?

[@alexandriafrost9505]

@@caliqm2199 Maybe, but she didnt even make an effort. But because of her blatant dismissal of a child and unquestioned obedience to kill said child if anything starts going wrong, I simply cant accept that Mia is any good. But moving on! Well the issues with the Baker house is revolved completely around Eveline's powers going completely out of control. Okay you see, Eveline is this super powerful bioweapon produced before her birth and raised in a lab. And she can produce this "mutamycete" type of mold on her own which is the substance that allows her to control everyone infected. She can spew gallons upon gallons greater than her own body mass. This is the stuff you see all over the house, the mold. The process this stuff and it keeps people further under control. And then the Molded monsters were all once people or fed people, completely under Evie's control. The house is the way it is simply to enhance Evie's control. Honestly I dont even feel like this is a good enough response but I did a bit of research just to make sure I got my facts straight. It feels like the baker house is so much more mysterious but this is really just it. The house is simply her headquarters of control. And if you try to leave her without being cured, she'll kill you, plain and simple. Actually I'd like to help you see it like this. Eveline uses the mold to infect. Then continues to produce it around the house. The mold you see around the house is like a network. If you saw at the beginning the mold is primarily in the basement where you first meet your first molded enemy. But then as the game progresses, you start to see it in the upstairs lefthand hallway. Its spreading and quickly. Maybe shes getting pissed? I think so because she sends more enemies after you. I hope this helps. Anymore questions?

[@gennymikelle1956]

can you elaborate please? I'd like to know the list :D

[@AlexThat200]

1. The two samples you obtained for Zoe were parts of failed D-type bioweapons. Eveline is the first E-type so the serum wouldn't do much but suppress the infection. 2. Documents stated that anyone that was too far gone with the infection, would not be cured. 3. Mia was being controlled, but could still resist Evie, albeit a small bit. Zoe seems perfectly sane for someone who's been infected for so long. Now one would think it's because she has a strong resistance to Evie for no goddamn reason, but that just makes her even more suspicious. Back then, Zoe stayed in her trailer away from Evie while the Bakers were taking care of her, which explains why she wasn't as crazy as the rest of them. Although, since Eveline didn't really care about controlling Zoe, there is no hard evidence that she could have resisted Eveline's powers while Mia possibly could have helped with the serum suppressing the infection and the fact that Evie still sees Mia as a mother.

in Resident Evil 5 there is a document you can find that is essentially a hit list of the top ranking members of Umbrella that knew Umbrella's B.O.W. research, everyone on that list is either confirmed or assumed dead, one of the names on that list is Ethan Winters, the MCs name in RE7 is Ethan Winters

[@Vyperus69]

also it has been established in atleast 1 past game (Revelations) that Umbrella's properties ended up being sold off after its collapse, for instance in Revelations its the 3 Cruise Liners, so it isnt inconcievable to think that the Bakers could've bought the house either from Umbrella themselves or from the bank when they went under

did you read all of it or just skim it, because i said *it isnt inconcievable to think that the Bakers could've bought the house either from Umbrella themselves or from the bank when they went under* which seeing as they renovated it before Umbrella went under it means they probably bought it from Umbrella themselves, you see the theory included them buying from ewither Umbrella or the bank so the problem you have isn't actually there...

The whole point of "the molded", if I remember correctly, was they were trying to make the family bigger.

[@WickedReacts]

Idk if it's all the food but could have something to do with it. I think it's more so once you get infected and you die the mold takes over pretty much and eve can then control you and or regress r progress the molded fungus in the body which is why she sped up zoe's infection at the end. Eve turns them into molded once the mold gets to a certain progression aka when the host dies.

The notes found in the mine are clearly pointing the fact that Eveline forced the Bakers to kidnapp people and infect them so they could join her growing family. What's more, she seems to like some people more than others, that's why some are killed, some become molded (last phase of the virus evolution) and some are like Jack and Marguerite (Intermediate phase) !

[@thiagocalfatcgo]

This video hits differently after Village

[@GothaBillsAndDeath]

I always thought the reason they made mold people was due to Eveline projecting her idealized version of a family, warm and receptive... ofcourse they're lunatics because of her influence, but that explains why they always initially try to feed you. Why they invite you to their table. Why there are signs of humanity in their dialogue rather than just flatout killing you or strapping you to a table to be molded.

[@seiryuspear]

Eveline is a fungus bioweapon. The phyllums of Fungi include; Basidiomycetes, whose hyphae grow so densely that they form larger colonies called Mushrooms, Zygomycota which use their hyphae of have (almost) sex, Chytridiomycota which produce sperm like spores that can swim, and Ascomycota which divid into identical buds, much like budding yeast (Saccheromyces cerevisiae) which is the producer of Ethyl alcohol for Beer, but also (Ophiocordyceps unilateralis) a parasitic fungi that uses ants as hosts. It can release hormones and other chemicals into the ants convincing the ants to climb to the top of the trees while the fungi feeds off of the rest of the ant. When they reach the top of the trees the fungi makes them hand from a leaf so that the fungi can release its spores. When infected the brain of the ant swells, understandably the ants become very agitated and often aggressive attacking and eating other ants on the way to their inevitable death, whence the infects reaches its climax. My girlfriend believes Eveline may be either composed of multiple fungi species that have all adapted to attack nervous systems like O. unilateralis or simply a mutated species similar to O. unilateralis, but more symbiotic (aware that it needs the host to survive). In RE 7 The behaviors of the "hosts" (ha pun)-- They become very hungry all the time and are eating what the Fungal species can digest, not what they themselves can eat. They become very violent and irritable, often lashing out. They continue with this erradic behavior feeding the fungus until the infection becomes too strong. When the human host is completely infected they "lose their minds" as if the fungus has taken complete control in order to survive. Thus the host is "immortal" because even if the human does die, the fungus will still have the body. The mutations would take place at the point when the fungus is maturing at a high rate and able to grow beyond the host, still using the hosts' muscles for support. This is when it is too late for the cure. For when the fungi dies all that is left is what they haven't digested. This is just a theory.

The real wait what moment, would be how Ethan's shirt stays fairly white throughout all the bs he went through

[@spacegremlo6852]

On point 4 they are missing out on a completely obvious fact about the juices: 1. It draws away from the fact that Ethan is infected because theres a "hidden" attack scene that you can trigger in the near beginning of the game, When your being chased by Jack baker with the shovel, if you head into the room where the locked trapdoor is, he will knock you down and chop your right leg off, then he will move to the wall ethan is looking at and set down one of the miracle drug spills and says: Come on ethan! You can do it. | In a creepy ish tone. Then you are forced to pick up your own leg, crawl painfully to the drug and grab it, meanwhile Jack watches you suffer as you hold your leg in place and pour the liquid into the severed cut and then push the cut off leg back against your body, causing it to fuse back together as good as new. I think we shouldn't be looking at the fact Ethan is possibly infected, but more in the fact of what in the name of primus is in those miracle bottles owo;

[@Trojianmaru]

My thoughts exactly. They've had Green Herbs and First Aid Sprays as a common item, either found like weeds or bought from the pharmacy, for almost 2 decades, so it should be understandable that there's been advancements in medicine since then, but not only does he seem clueless about first aid bottles, he also seems clueless that the world he lives in has had scary shit like zombies and Bio-Weapons for almost 20 years now. In modern day America, almost everyone has a gun and a first aid kit somewhere in their house. In a world with Zombies and monsters, it'd be even more common. So why the hell did Ethan, who knows he lives in a world of monsters, not take even a knife with him when he went to the spooky house in the middle of nowhere. Think after all that, we just have to accept that RE7 is not perfect, not every plot hole leads to a game theory, some of them just lead to the "oh, they just got lazy and fucked up" realisation

[@Jamestopboy]

Just so you're aware, it's NOT Eveline that kills Zoe, she just THINKS it is. Zoe is infected and too far gone, so the minute you infect her she's actually dead -- and then freezes on the boat thinking it's Eveline.

[@danialjaved517]

Jamestopboy but wasn't mia infected longer?

[@michaeltaylor684]

Well to me what doesn't make sense is when you read the file, it clearly states the window for administration of the cure has to rather quick other wise it just kills the host. So if Mia arrived with Evie at the same time wouldn't that mean Mia herself is to far gone for the treatment to work? She was gone for what, 2-3 years? So to me either one you pick would result in death. IDK, maybe iam wrong but that's what I kind of read into the story.

[@Jamestopboy]

Because she wasn't living in the house. She was infected, but not in Eveline's constant presence; she was outside.

[@Jamestopboy]

Yes, but Eveline needed her alive, so probably made sure that Mia didn't go crazy pyscho bonkers -- see, in the bad ending, for example. The moment Eveline doesn't need Mia is when Mia throws you out of the room and she's possessed and she goes off the deep end.Mia was saved, because Eveline saw her as "Mommy".

[@xaphanxorroth9405]

when somebody is infected and they’re too far gone the infection is in every cell of your body and when the serum is introduced it makes your cells calcify

[@xxvaltielxx1789]

RE 4 tells us that Umbrella went to hell after the truth came out, Leon narrates that before you start playing, in the next installments and movies Umbrella is no longer a thing, Tricell took the spotlight and then Neo Umbrella became a thing, but they were by far a corporation, they were more like a terrorist organization developing and selling BOW's, this new Umbrella is a "WTF is this?" kinda thing.

[@susanreilly7565]

What about lucas

[@TheParadisis]

I liked the exchange: "Groovy!" "That's not groovy."

[@ClapperDan]

I actually saved Zoe on my first playthrough and it was a complete waste. After they leave and Eveline tosses the boat, you wake up as Mia and I'm like "how'd she get out here?" Basically you're not supposed to save Zoe.

[@vileindividual]

From what I could gather, the serum only breaks the link with Evaline, because Lucas received some of the serum from whoever developed this BOW and said that it stopped her from digging around in his head and making him act uncontrollably psychotic. Don't know if he received the serum before or after the 'Happy Birthday' tape but his bizarre behavior is pretty much just him acting like he is crazy to not raise the suspicion of Evaline. Ethan pretty much cures himself of the negative effects of the infection by killing Evaline, since that breaks the link. Also the time spent infected and under the influence of the 'head' BOW determines the cure success rate. Anyone under the influence for a short amount of time can be cured completely, anyone under influence for a significant amount of time simply dies after being 'cured' (This is what happened to Jack after he was cured with the serum) and using the serum on the head BOW itself turns it into a super creature (this information is in one of the files in the salt mine but its blacked out, you can fill in the blanks yourself after seeing what happens to Evaline)

[@leons.kennedy4596]

Master Of Coincidence I don't think jack actually died see we know Marguerite died and she did not appear in the spirit talk section jack and zoe the only two people still alive or infected did fee if lucas is free from her control and Marguerite died that explains why tgey weren't there but that would mean jack is still alive

[@vileindividual]

I think the simple reason for Jack being there in the dream sequence was that he's the "main antagonist" Featured heavily in all the promo materials and regularly shows up throughout the game. I really dont think there's some deeper lore reason or 'hidden secret' behind it. Marguerite, Jack, Zoe & Eveline all die the same way, by crusting up and crumbling to pieces, Jack never crumbled to pieces after the first fight, only after he was finally defeated in his super form. Marquerites lack on inclusion is either due to cut content or the team didn't think that the players would have that much of an interest in her (which thinking back to it now, I certainly didn't. She was aggressive at the start and then disappeared only to show up in the old house, she just wasn't around long enough for players to have a vested interest in her or learn more about her) Also you need to keep in mind that Zoe could be dead or alive when that cutscene happens so it doesn't really provide any insight as to whether or not jack is dead. It seems to me that most people that are pushing the "he's not dead" theory are just people who really liked his character and what him to appear again somehow.

[@Shockwave-ob2tx]

[@Ixs4i]

[@jasono312]

For the whole "why is the Baker house so crazy?" question I would chalk that up to their son, Lucas, if anything. I mean I think it's just supposed to be a nod to the Spencer mansion but if you really want to try to rationalize it, Lucas was an inventor and a pretty intelligent person who happened to be a sociopath. It's possible that he was performing experiments and stuff in the basement (there is a dissection room) and then incinerating the corpses. The only reason I would suggest that is because it's revealed that he's in contact with another company (Tentsu? Umbrella? HCF? who knows) so he might have been doing research for them. Doesn't explain all the weird doors and keys and everything but I think we're just supposed to do the ole "willing suspension of disbelief" thing.

[@bosstrash8461]

yeah, idk much at all about this lore but it seemed like lucas was actually trying to work with the whole evie plan compared to the rest of the bakers who seem like victims to it (except zoe wtf she doin) but to me its why lucas escaped while the rest of the fam died. but if you pick mia at the end i wonder if zoe dies or escapes as well ?? idk.

[@jasono312]

Ammy Marie I think it's possible that Zoe is still alive depending on your interpretation of "there were no survivors found." Either means she escaped or died there. But to clear some stuff up for you about Zoe, she was in direct contact with Mia and stayed far away from Evie and her family to prevent succumbing to the virus faster. That's the only reason she isn't like the rest of the Bakers

There was once an actual family grandmother. When you're in the "Happy Birthday" room, you see the old family picture on those television monitors. The photo is of Lucas' birthday party when he and Zoe were just little kids. In that picture, on the far left, you see an old woman sitting in a chair, smiling at the camera. This obviously is not Evelyn, since the photo was from when Lucas and Zoe were children. So, the family once had the actual family grandmother living with them. I'm assuming she passed away since the photo was taken.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

The juice immediately heals the hole in your hand from blocking the Machete. And when your legs gets cut off, you put the 2 parts together, and pour the juice on it, and it reattaches it. The juice promotes rapid cell regeneration, which means that the cells heal the 2 parts back together. Plus, when you're infected, you see the little girl. But Ethan sees her as the grandma until after the boat incident. So he gets infect on the boat. Before then he didn't eat the 'food', so he wasn't infected.

[@Inhaledcorn]

Something I noticed, but I don't know if anyone else did, is that Ethan's injured hand steadily heals itself during the game. Like, shortly after it's reattached, there's a scab there from where Mia impaled it with the screwdriver. However, later, the scab is gone. The hand also subtly changes colors, I think, as the game progresses.

[@cunningmetal266]

Inhaled Corn the color change thing is correct. Playing through twice I noticed after the dinner thing it's more pale and lifeless. Then around the time you get to the trailer it's got a greenish tint. Then later just before Jack V2 boss fight it's a little more flesh looking and obviously at the end it's pretty much back to normal. And of course the whole thing about the impaled palm thing would heal as the juice stuff heals deep cuts pretty fast so a large hole wouldn't take much. And I'm playing through a third time while watching this. And I think you can fully heal your hand right off the bat after it being impaled by just spamming all your heals. So I think it's designed to be more aesthetic.

[@funyarinpa336]

Feels like I'm one of the few people that went with Zoe the very first time. And tbh it was for purely pragmatic reasons. Judging by Marguerites letters it sounded like Eveline was already with Mia when they met the Bakers (which was later confirmed) and Mia had shown clear signs of being infected with whatever everyone else had when she cut off my hand. So if Jack was "so far gone" that the serum killed him instead of healing him and Mia was most likely given Evelines "gift" before Jack received it, then I felt like it would only make sense that the serum would kill her as well. Sure, she looked sane, but she was the only one that seemed to be able to switch in and out of her insane murder-persona so her seeming sane at that moment wouldn't have meant anything in regards to the progression of her infection. While I didn't know Zoe I at least knew that Jack was the guy that found Evie so Zoe must have been infected at the earliest around the time Jack was but most likely a while after him which realistically gave her the better odds of surviving the serum-treatment. My bad for treating the supposed virus like it's actually a virus and not some magical mumbo-jumbo that doesn't follow any rules xD

[@LaBerengenaAtomica]

No. I agree. I didn't go too anal about it, but I thought something along those lines. And, to be honest, I thought that was the choice straight for the bad end, and I tend to do bad endings first so I can savor the good endings better. I'm also a big softie, so I spent like 5 minutes alternating between looking at Zoe and Mia. I just couldn't decide at first because on the one hand, Zoe had helped you get through the Bakers' lands and even made a serum for Mia as well as hers (which was her actual objective)... although I guess it wasn't too much trouble, but she could've just ask Ethan to throw her the serums and make a run for it with Miaor alone, which she didn't. And on the other hand, Mia is your wife, so there's that. I ultimately chose Mia, but I reloaded and went for Zoe for the reasons stated on the first paragraph.

[@simenamundsen3166]

The game states specifically, that the earliest signs of infection is seeing visions of Eveline, meaning that Ethan was infected sometime before obtaining the first ingredient for the Serum. (As that is when he first sees her) But considering how the infection works, then I think it needs Eveline in order to fully mature. It is a fungus, so it might turn others who she doesn't want to control into "Molded". That being said though, Ethan might still be infected but the fungus is dormant within him. (Could be a future plot point.) As for his severed arm. If you fail to escape Jack at the start of the game when he comes looking for you by the dinner table, he can cut off your leg as well. When he does so he toys with you, and gives you some "Medical Goo" which he informs will help you. You use said glue to reattach the severed leg and it works just as fine as before. Hence stitching the arm on shouldn't even be needed, but we know that the "goo" can reattach severed limbs. As for Mia. It is made rather clear that Eveline doesn't want to control Mia. She wants Mia to decide to be a family on her own, and tries to show her that. The only time Mia is taken control over is when that idea is threaten by a outside source. In this case Ethan who has come to take her away from Eveline. The moment Mia tells Eveline that she doesn't want to be a family, all cards are off. But the problem is that Mia is already cured at this point if you follow the good ending. If you don't then Mia loses control and is killed. During the vision with Jack Backer, the only two to appear (if I remember correctly) is Zoe and Jack Backer. At the time, Zoe is the only Baker you didn't "beat" in some sense and she was a lot more sane than the rest. Jack on the other hand is the only one you "cured" out of them if you went by the "good" ending. That may have caused Eveline to lose some control over him, while him still being a part of the said "hive mind". Zoe is still part of the "hive mind" but isn't in direct control, so she also appears. Lucas is probably still roaming about and is under control, therefore he doesn't appear and Margarita is already dead and gone.

[@jackbaylis2849]

I'm willing to bet my life that that isn't Chris. Capcom always does this stuff. Chris would never work for Umbrella. The BSAA would be using their own logos and Helicopters. The emails Lucas was sending to Chris were from 2015. Why would he wait two years to come bail them out? Let alone be working with Lucas. That's a classic Umbrella "Sit back and watch the experiment" thing. Not only that, the Albert-01 was clearly inspired by Albert Wesker, it even looks like the handgun that Wesker uses in RE5. Chris was born in 1973, and that's such a drastic difference in a design that's been fairly consistent in previous titles. That's Umbrella doing it's sneaky stuff. Ethan knows they're on their way because he hears them on the radio near the end of the game. That's too much circumstantial evidence. No idea who it is, though.

There's a rumor going around that Lucas worked with the company the made eveline. I mean the baker house is connected to the salt mine laboratory that they were transferring her to, so that might explain the weird locks and the morgue

[@shannonswiggart7792]

urmomrox117 I don't remember exactly, but in my playthrough, I remember reading a thing about Lucas working for a company that I believe was the old umbrella corp. mia also said at one point that competing companies would try to take evaline. I assume that Lucas actually planned on evaline appearing, and he cured himself so that he can oversee her.

[@bliczb8772]

+Shannon Swiggart He haven't cured himself, an unidentified B.O.W manufacturer (also known as third party) sent to him a cure that allowed to stop mold at early stage - so he could keep his regenerating abilities, but prevent Eveline from controlling his mind. Evie haven't spotted any difference at all, (as it says in e-mail in the salt mine "You haven't only made that thing look like kid, it's stupid as one"). In exchange, he spied on his "family".

[@PRoX2010]

The reattachment of the hand doesn't mean you're infected. Some people will miss it, but Ethan can also get his right leg hacked off at the shin. Near the start, right after the dinner scene, if you try and unlock and open the hatch with Daddy too close he will grab you and chop off you foot. Then he will walk to the other side of the room and set down a heavy first aid kit. You pick up your leg (it actually goes in your inventory) and crawl over to the kit, using it to reconnect your leg. My take was that Ethan gets infect when he is taken into the ship.

[@DrDremur]

PRoX2010 I know this is old but I actually think he gets infected way beforehand. When your infected you start seeing hallucinations of Eveline's younger self. So I think it's sometime before you grab the D series Arm. I've even heard it could be near the very start when Jack force feeds you the guts.

I'm pretty convinced that you are actually working for the bad guys. Mia works for the company that made and took care of Eveline and it seems like so did Zoe given how much she seems to know about the situation. I like this theory because I can write off Redfield as "Imposter Chris" because he looks bizarre and is no longer voiced by Roger Craig Smith.

Geez man, with this game, how can we be sure that Umbrella (or some competitor to Umbrella that Mia may have worked with) are the bad guys? Game's got a lot of weird shit to it, who knows, after all, they do change RE games every 3 installments, so maybe they're going with an alternate universe in these games? No idea

[@DiardanRose]

To the Ethan point... The healing juice IS that good. In the early part of the game, just after the dinner, if Jack catches you before you make it down the hatch, he cuts off your leg with that spade of his. And then you use the healing juice to completely reattach it, the staples might only be necessary because it was so much later that your hand was reattached. Not to say that I don't think Ethan isn't infected by the end of the game, but just that that particular point IS made if you happen to get caught.

[@SpartanPrimeDSTY117]

Yeah, and Ethan is even like "What the fuck?" funnily lampshading the game's logic

[@iWillWakeYouUp]

Nah I don't think that's because the healing juice is so good. I think Ethan is just surprised that his leg is OK again and that the juice worked, but I think it only worked because he's obviously infected. How could he not be? If he's not at the beginning, he's certainly at the end after Eveline envelops him in mold, which is known to infect people. Mia gets infected that way on the ship.

[@skadrumsandwich7415]

Yea that never happened to me because Jack never caught me. I'm awesome like that.

[@DopeArt13]

About the Wonder Drug Goop Juice. In the beginning when you're first being stalked by Jack. If he catches you enough he'll actually cut your leg off. After that he actually stops and laughs at you, handing you the "Stronger" medicine with which you reattach your leg to the wonderment of Ethan! It's a crucial plot detail regarding the juice stuff and I'm surprised it's so easily missed. If you wanna see for yourself you can check part 1 of Jacksepticeye's play through around the 53min mark

[@Razhork]

The medicine isn't the cause of his regeneration, but rather a means of speeding up the process. Ethan is absolutely in the earliest stage of being infected, which is having regenerative powers, but not quite under the mind control of Eveline yet. The process of the infection is pretty nicely shown throughout the game. Suddenly half way through the game you start seeing Eveline in the old house, when you first get the D-arm. At the end of the game you're going batshit crazy with hallucinations everywhere just prior to killing off Eveline for good.

[@ionlymadethistoleavecoment1723]

I have a question: when you fight jack for the first time you're driving a car and he causes you to smash into a bunch of metal stuff. But you're driving and he's in the passenger seat. How did he control the car? Even if he is grabbing the steering wheel, he can't control the gas pedal.

[@wetbasement825]

yeah that was a wtf moment to me as well.. i guess he could have pressed your leg down, even though I watched and his hand aint even near your leg... Maybe Ethan is just a lil sociopath.

[@ionlymadethistoleavecoment1723]

Wet Basement even if he pressed your leg down all he had to do was move his leg slightly to press the brake. More than that, jack made very fine movements, because he reversed and then rammed it.

[@brandoncampbell1537]

Ionlymadethistoleavecoments the bakers do have super strength at this point, meaning that Jack had zero issue keeping Ethan's leg down. Sadly, I never saw him shift during that part though.

[@ionlymadethistoleavecoment1723]

Brandon Campbell but again, all Ethan had to do was move his foot slightly. not that hard.

[@brandoncampbell1537]

Ionlymadethistoleavecoments maybe he was pushing it down too hard? Maybe the scene is poorly animated, as you can skip it? Who knows.

[@GraceSciuridae]

On your point about Ethan, it seems the game actually jokes about the first aid meds itself. If you let Jack Baker catch you as you enter the trapdoor at the beginning, he'll cut your foot off and force you to crawl to a bottle he places on the ground. Ethan then proceeds to pick up his foot and hold it up to the remainder of his leg, and then pours the first aid med all over it. Ethan then bewilderedly takes a few steps on his reattached leg. Jack then proceeds to rage in the corner of the room, giving you long enough to escape through the hatch.

[@Nat_____]

No-one seems to know that the "first aid" stuff can reattach limbs, proved if Jack catches you after he breaks through the wall. He cuts off your leg, gives you first aid, and you reattach your leg

[@Soarin_Skys]

[@Trojianmaru]

We could of taken a shoelace, and tied it down, or shoved something in the way so when we let go, the door couldn't close, but the real reason is the same reason we have to look for the spade key and the diamond key when we have a pump action shotgun, a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher. Because screw logic, this is Resident Evil. Though considering how spooky that whole part was (the spider arm creeping out to grab her lantern, the boss battle, the dark rooms leading in, the ghost girl, the spooky graffiti, the dark enemy filled rooms leading out) I would of been perfectly fine with saying sorry to Mia and Zoe, finding a car and getting the hell out of there. Leave that shit to Chris and his team of Umbrella badasses (to be honest, I get the feeling even if we never showed up, Chris would of showed up pretty soon anyway n saved the day, the only difference would of been maybe Zoe died, but I can't imagine Chris' team would of had any trouble subduing her peacefully and capturing her. Hell, with their cures, I bet it would of been a hell of a lot easier. I bet they could of just had tranq rifles full of cure n shot the Baker family before they were even a threat. Either 1 shot killing them or curing them. Literally their only issue would of been the molded and Eveline herself)

The First Aid actually can reattach limbs. If you are not able to get undetected to trapdoor at the beginning of the game when Jack hunts you, he cuts off one of your feet. Only to give you the First Aid Juice which then reattaches the cut off foot to the leg without any repurcussions. So it is possible that because of that his hand is functioning. The stables were probably put there, so that the hand can be reattached properly.

I think Zoe's death was from the vaccine. I'm guessing she was so infected by the mold at this point that it had the same effect it had on Jack and Evie. Maybe Evie gave the family some degree of protecting from her mold, since that was what she wanted, and when she withdrew that well...

[@Mia-xn1ek]

iczer6 ooooooo good theory!!!! I've never thought of that!!!

[@iczer7788]

Thanks. I also think Evie rejected Jack because she was obsessed with having Mia as her mother. I think she used Ethan as a bribe of sorts, a last ditch effort to make Mia play along, which backfired, badly.

[@sanimacailer2756]

yeah, i think this too, because note mia or marguerites death to becoming molded, they lack that almost melted look if you know what im going for, meanwhile both jack and zoe kinda get this odd extra effect right before they mold up and die.

[@jasonryan6395]

then what about Mia, she was missing for a few years.

[@iczer7788]

Good point. I have a few theories. One is that since MIa was one of the people who created Evie maybe she was given some sort of proto-vaccine that gave her some immunity to her powers. Or simply being around her for so long made her resistant to the mold. Or it could be that since Evie was really hung up on making Mia her 'mommy' she held back on both Mia and Evan. Not using her full strength on them.
