The "Resident Evil Village" Enemy Guide Quiz

Answer: Lycan

One of the evergreen foes in "Village", and certainly the earliest Ethan will stumble upon in his visit, is the Lycan, a mold-infected villager type which has a certain heartiness (and hairiness) that makes it similar to a werewolf. These bloodthirsty foes are aggressive and will often attack Ethan with weapons in hand.

More than this, their instinct will often be to dip and duck to avoid gunfire, so Ethan will need to have steady aim to prevail, especially when they fight in a pack.

Answer: The victim's blood is drained

A result of barbaric and heinous torture perpetuated by Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters, the Moroaice are first found by Ethan in the dungeons of the castle and appear to be a consequence of her ploy to create more daughters. Instead, it appears that she created a blood-drained army of ghouls which, once the mold took over them, formed a zombie army of weapon-wielding servant women. Ethan will find Moroaice throughout the village once he leaves the castle, though their origin is made clear early on.

Answer: Alcina

Alcina is the name of Lady Dimitrescu, herself, but the other three options make up the trio of sisters she keeps with her in Castle Dimitrescu as products of more unique Umbrella meddling. These women, vampiric in nature, are actually the result of the mold virus' ability to blend with insect qualities; all three of the girls are capable of dematerializing and reforming as swarms of dangerous bugs.

The way to beat them becomes apparently quickly as Ethan will always tend to face off against them in rooms of the castle that have accessible windows or deteriorating walls that expose the daughters to the cold. When they're hit with this cold air, they'll harden to the point where Ethan can open fire on them. All three will open the way to one of the four masks needed to escape the building.

Answer: Flight

Similar to the Moroaica that Ethan will start to encounter in Castle Dimitrescu, Samcas are mutated villagers that seek to fight with their weapons (in this case, their claws and teeth), but they have the distinct advantage of flight. The first time you'll encounter these is up on the roof of the castle (while collecting the Mask of Rage), and at this point you may have more suitable firearms to snipe them down at enough range to prevent a closer battle. Mutations, between the mold and the subject, appear to give them bat-like qualities.

Answer: True

While Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela are all shut into Castle Dimitrescu due to their weakness to the village's cold climate, Lady Dimitrescu is able to come and go as she pleases. She'll wander the halls of the castle until Ethan visits the Tower of Worship, and then she'll reveal her true form as a massive mold creature capable of flying into the skies.

The battle against Alcina will take Ethan to the top of the tower and be conducted almost exclusively in the open (cold) air. She'll take to the sky for the most part and he'll need to fire on her exposed body, a part of the bigger foe that pokes out of its back. You'll know the battle has been won when the two of you plummet back through the tower; you'll survive, she won't.

Answer: Dolls

When Ethan heads north out of the village it'll be with the goal of finding House Beneviento in the cliffs and collecting a flask from Donna, the village dollmaker, who resides there. What he will find is a tricky series of puzzles designed with Donna's abilities in mind. Clearly not a battle-minded foe, Donna will focus on using a chemical that she creates to force Ethan to see vivid hallucinations.

It'll mean not only escaping her basement workshop, but fighting what appears to be her doll, Angie, in her home proper. Killing the doll will mean killing Donna and stopping the visions.

Answer: The Fallow Plot

Although Ethan will face a couple of Varcolac in his visit to the village, the Alfa, the most dire of these wolf-like foes, will wait in the fallow plot between Luiza's house and the village church once he's completed his trip to the reservoir and defeated Salvatore Moreau. Otherwise, he'll find non-Alfa versions in East Old Town (when he returns there after defeating Donna Beneviento) and at Moreau's lab in the mountains en route to the reservoir.

All of these creatures are extremely weak to bright light, so using Flashbangs can be to your greatest advantage in these fights.

Answer: Blockades

The lord who oversees the village reservoir, Salvatore Moreau doesn't seem all too concerned with keeping Ethan to himself so much so that he lets Ethan claim the Arms Flask as soon as he arrives, letting the visitor deal with navigating his watery lair first and foremost.

It's only when Ethan powers the local windmills and drains the reservoir that things will get desperate for the foe; he'll transform into a hulking, amphibious, acid-shooting beast, closing the gaps for Ethan in an explosive battle. If Ethan can unload enough firepower at the still-living component in the beast's mouth, he'll perish.

Answer: Hammer

One of the leaders of the village, infected with Cadou early on, Urias (and his brother, fought later) appears to be the head of the Lycans as they reside in the stronghold to the north. Ethan will face him and his pack upon arriving in East Old Town, but the real fight will come later on when he needs to collect the Torso Flask. Urias' war hammer is one of the great danger, but this hulking troll-like foe can also use brute strength to make things difficult.

His brother, Urias Strajer, is fought by Chris. He uses a giant mace instead of a hammer.

Answer: Red

Once Ethan heads into the factory he'll find the last iterations of the Cadou parasite's final forms, and this will be in the reconstituted humans that Karl Heisenberg had a hand in malforming, the Soldats. These hearty foes have a reactor core embedded into their chests and/or backs, and Ethan simply has to fire on those weak spots to cause a colossal overload and bring them down.

The catch is that these enemies also come heavily-armed...in a literal sense. Some of these enemies have massive drills and power tools for arms; some have jetpacks; some will charge at you.

Answer: A turboprop engine

As Ethan nears the top floors of Heisenberg's factory he'll finally need to go head-to-...erm... head with a creature he, to this point, would have only seen briefly. Sturm is the result of a complicated procedure in which Heisenberg not only placed a reactor core into his experiment's back, but an engine into its head.

This causes the hearty foe to barrel straight at Ethan, even smashing through walls to do so. In battle against this foe, Sturm will eventually catch fire and use it to damage Ethan further.

Answer: Polymer

As Ethan attempts to leave the factory, Heisenberg will cast him back to the basement. Fortunately for Ethan, Chris Redfield is down there, putting the finishing touches on his work and revealing a creation made of metal and polymer-- one of the few items in the building that Heisenberg can't control. What will ensue is a battle in which Ethan, armed with this mech, will need to blast at the giant metal hybrid outside, blasting the final lord of the village into smithereens by targeting his weak points over and over again.

Answer: Yes

Ethan's final to-do will be to fight to the death against Mother Miranda at the ceremonial site atop the village, and when he does, it'll be a simple affair in which he'll simply need to unload all of his weapons against her, striking her body while avoiding her various different attacks and strategies-- everything from flying overhead to charging on the ground to darkening the arena to lunge at him from the shadows.

But she is beatable. Once Ethan has assaulted her enough, she'll harden and crumble like all the other mold-based creatures before her. With the Megamycete damaged so heavily, however, Ethan will also end up perishing, but at least he'll have saved his daughter from her fate.
