Mr. X & Records Room

[raw maw]

I'm playing the game, but this Mr. X dude literally tails me everywhere, I can't get him off me. He's always on my ass, always so close he could sniff my farts.
Problem is that he finally stopped following me... but now he's at the hallway outside of Records Room... that room which I need to enter to progress. That hallway is not a viable way to like play tag with him. You can't get around him. And I don't have the ammo to savour for shooting him to stun.
If that was just a coincidence, then god works in mysterious ways.

What do I do? there really isn't anywhere near I can get him off that darn room. And I'm not enough of gambler to simply attempt at running through him. in the hallway.

Dog bless Capcom for inventing video-games, 'cause this is just cruel.

Just wait in the recording room for him to leave. Don't shoot him, it's a waste of ammo.

And just to add onto this, try not to slam doors open or fire your weapon in general, Mr.X is drawn to noise.

I had no idea. I thought he just tracked your no matter what always.
Does this include running as well?

Yes, includes running as well however you are faster than him and he doesn’t pinpoint you straight away like shooting a gun does. So as long as theres no lickers involved that youre trying to avoid, go ahead and run.

I got so many lickers running around being silly, 'cause Mr. X keeps disturbing my progress.

Well when you first return to the police station after encountering William the first time, Lickers will replace the majority of the enemies in the hallways, however some of them can be avoided as long as you know where to go and when.

I figured that out myself lol

Just be brave and go for it. In the thirty hours I have spent in this game so far I always run through Mr.X and the lickers and not once have I died because they attacked or got me. If you run away and don't stop, not even for a split second, you're good to go. After some time you will view Mr.X as nothing more than just some abnormally annoying and persistent enemy..

Zombies screaming and banging windows alert him as well. Plan your routes well and remember safe places where you already killed enemies.

I am 1 year and a half later. Surely you already did it. But this was the true way to play that part:
-Go to the hallway of the Records Room walking, cause there are 1 or 2 lickers there, so they can hear you
-Enter to the room and pick the items you need
-When you open the door you will have Mr X at your LEFT very close to the door, and the lickers behind him.
-So the way is just RUN TO THE RIGHT. Go to the Operation room, jump up the vent to the other hallway on the other side. He is gone by then

Note: If you do too much noise in that hallway before enter the Records room, you will be picking up the items and Mr X will get INSIDE the room. That is what happened to me. I was picking up the grenade and when I turned around he way already inside at my face. I could not even run cause I was between a desk (where the grenade was) and 2 wall). So no escape.
So I go there again quietly and plan the route out to the right.

Cheers
