Resident Evil 7: Salt Mine | Walktrough
Last update: 03 September 2020
The beginning of the journey is rather peaceful. Reach the wooden hut containing a chest - take the best items, and make use of the item creation, as this is the only opportunity found in this area. I also recommend taking the most powerful weapons (MAG .44 / Grenade Launcher). Also, this is a final opportunity to buy something for antique coins (the shop's supply stays the same).
There is a Mr. Everywhere figurine on the shed's window (you can destroy it from the outside). Now proceed to the elevator, destroying mutants found along the way. If you are short on ammo, press the elevator button quickly and get inside (there are only chem fluids around)
The corridors in the mine are linear, but you still need to watch out for explosive chests and hanging traps - there are no secrets for now. Aside from that, you'll encounter numerous mutants. You'll finally reach the tracks. Proceed forward and push the cart along the tracks - if you do so quickly, it will run over a few mutants and clear the way further (you can run to avoid mutants and save some ammo).
When you've reached the lower part of the mine, follow the way below to its end, and look up and a bit to the left - you should notice the pre-ultimate Mr. Everywhere figurine.
Use the stairs to ascend. Enter the next room, containing a large chest with a smaller one inside - open it and place the vial inside it - you'll receive a poison syringe. The following room greets you with a green box and a place to save the game.
Proceed further and cross through the pond - Eveline should appear before you. Once you're through with her, begin your ascent. There is a long way up before you. Avoid engaging every encountered opponent as once you reach the top, you'll be safe.
The next area contains two mini-bosses. You have to deal with them first if you want to access the ladder. Use remote bombs, otherwise circle around the steel construct in the middle to avoid being hit by the acid. If the enemies are too close, back away and hide behind a different obstacle.
Finally you should reach the cellar of the mansion in which you've begun the game. Pick up the final Mr. Everywhere figurine from one of the shelves. Use the stairs to ascend to the ground level, enter the kitchen (mandatory step), and finally, access the attic. You'll see much of Eveline or Mia, but don't worry - they cannot hurt you, so save your ammo.
You'll encounter Eveline. Approach her but maintain your guard. The final battle begins after the cut-scene. The overall idea is simple - keep firing at her head and don't let her approach herself. It's the final showdown - use every weapon you have on you. Once you're pinned down, you'll receive an order to pick up a special pistol lying next to you - use it to end the fight. The fight concludes with a cut-scene marking the end of the game.
