How to deal with Trench Coat guy?

[Hayden]

First off, this is the first Resident Evil game I've played. I don't really know any of the lore either, although I did see that movie where they have the lasers that move down the room and chop everyone up.

Anyway, played a bit with a friend. Eventually got used to the zombies and how to deal with them. Then those things that crawl on all fours and lick you were a problem, but walking real slow sorted them out.

Problem we're having is that we got to some part where we used water to put out a fire on a helicopter. After that, we were just walking along and some massive guy in a trench coat showed up in a nearby hallway. We took one look at him and legged it.

Anyway, so we're walking along again down a hallway and Trench Coat just comes bashing through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wall! That was almost my breaking point. I'm like, "let's get to that open area at the start where it's safe".

So bolt back there, and we're trying to decide where to go next and then all of a sudden Trench Coat is just walking down the stairs. I mean, wtf, we thought that a typewriter meant safety, but clearly not.

Now Trench Coat's following us everywhere! I thought we might be able to lose him if we go real slow, but nope, dude has super hearing. I even tried standing completely still and I guess he could even hear Leon breathing because he still came right to us.

To make things worse, I'm pretty sure we now have to go back to the jail cells area because we found two electrical box things (We think that's all we need to open the cells and get the parking pass so we can escape out of here). Is he going to just follow us all the way down there? Because those cells are a dead end + there'll be like 5 zombies once we hit the switch to open all the cells. Not really sure I can handle getting backed into a corner by this dude chasing us.

So, how the heck do we deal with this guy? I tried shotgunning him but that didn't bother him. Can't even remember where we got it, but we do have 1 hand grenade. Will that put him down? We don't want to waste it unless we need it to fight something even worse.

Will he go away eventually? I can't really do horror games that well, but I was liking the atmosphere and puzzle stuff quite a bit until Trench Coat came through that wall. Ever since then I'm just constantly on edge. Can't decide if we should just give up on this now or what. Oh, and I don't even know how to get back to the jail cells either. Ever since Trench has been chasing us, I've lost all sense of where things are. The map doesn't really help either.

His name is Mr. X/Tyrant and he follows you everywhere except for the safe rooms or puzzle rooms. You can stun him for around 1 minute when you shoot at his head several times. I'm not sure but if you open the cell, get the key and hit the switch you have to go to the left to avoid the zombies but Mr.X will show up again. If you have a grenade you can stun him for a short time and walk past him. After inserting the parking key you're safe (for now).

Feed him rockets.

If you don't have rocket launcher - hide. Get away from him and put at least one room between you and him. After this do not run, do not shoot (unless it is the supressed SMG), do not provoke zombies and lickers to attack you and do not bang doors.

Great. Sounds freaking terrible. Good to know that escaping the parking lot gets away from this guy.

A rocket launcher? What? Yeah, we don't have one of those. Don't have a supressed SMG. Don't know where you guys are finding all these either.

Flashbangs are really handy against him any time. Can also get close and draw out his punch attack, dodge it by running backwards quickly then back past him and away.

[ウィッチ（？）]

Can't kill him (not until later for Leon). So better avoid him much as possible.
Also keep some flashbang as backup, just in case you have cornered in dead end..

[Nusutto Rebel]

Shoot him in the head, he will stop for a few second. Flashbang works too

Normal grenades works wonders as well.

Seems to work fine.

You can stun him a bit by shooting him in the face like you do with regular zombies, then run past.

You could just keep running and he will never catch up.
Don't you wish you killed all zombies/lickers you can't simply run past before that point?
This is part of the resource management game.

Okay, damn. I've missed that machine gun and the rocket launcher. I swear I was in that arsenal room but I must've missed it. Or I wasn't playing then and it got put in the storage. I dunno.

You probably missed the minigun as well.

Remake has a lot of heavy firepower for killing that fedora guy. Just be sure you kill him before he gets to his katana collection, because then he starts teleporting behind you.

Got past all the zombies in the cells, was almost home free and he just steps out into the hallway. So, I had zombies at my back and Trench Coat coming at me from the front throwing haymakers.

I think I'm done. Pretty awesome game and all and I can definitely see why fans of the series enjoy it so much, but ♥♥♥♥ that. I can't do horror games. It wants me to do sewers next lol. Nope.

This is what flashbangs are for.

Once you're more experienced you can start baiting his punches and running past him, rather than needing to use a flash bang or grenade. I think there is only 1 or 2 specific situations where its best to use a flash bang against him.

Sprint Button = Here I am Mr. X

He's actually quite stupid, you can walk around behind him if you want to, as long as you don't sprint or bump into him then he won't have a clue your there. Unlike the Lickers he can see though so shining your torch at him or entering his line of sight will obviously alert him.
