Continuation of the train exploration | Ecliptic Express Train Walkthrough Resident Evil Zero HD Guide
Last update: 02 February 2017
Once you win the battle with the scorpion you can throw the gun from your inventory in order to make some place for other items. Make sure that you have only two quest items with you - the briefcase and the ice pick. Explore the wagon where you defeated the boss and find the Panel Opener. Take it with you and go back towards the dining car where Rebecca is still imprisoned. Once you reach the destination, walk to the kitchen on the lower floor of the wagon (M1,10) and interact with the service lift. Place the Ice pick in it and send it up.
Switch to Rebecca (M1,9) and walk as her towards the service lift. Take the ice pick sent to you by Billy. Now walk towards the kitchen exit door and open Rebecca's inventory. Find the ice pick in the inventory, select it and then select Use item option (the picture above). Doing this action will unlock the exit from the kitchen. Use the door and walk downstairs in order to join Billy.
Select Billy and thoroughly examine the kitchen on the lower floor of the dining car. In one of the corners of the kitchen you will find a silver panel on the ground. Position yourself near it, open the inventory, select the previously obtained Panel Opener and use it. Now you can walk with Rebecca through the ventilation shaft (you must order her to follow Billy). Once you reach a new room (M1,15), start with unlocking access to the kitchen from this side. Remain in the current room. Taking the Gas Tank canisters isn't mandatory, but picking the Gold Ring from the corner of the room is.
Open the inventory and mark the previously taken Gold Ring. Select Combine from the option list. You must combine the ring with the previously obtained Briefcase (the picture above). The ring will be automatically placed in one of two slots of the briefcase (you will need one more item to open the briefcase). Now you can use the door on the right that lead to the outside balcony of the car (M1,16).
Order Rebecca to wait and walk as Billy towards the left lever. Pull it and then switch to Rebecca. Walk as her towards the Hookshot at the right wall. You can take that item with you - since it takes two slots in the inventory, it might be possible that first you will have to clear your pockets. When you take the item, you will also receive the Hookshot Operator's Manual. Now you must return to the car in which at the start of the game you faced first zombies (M1,2). As usually, you will have new enemies to eliminate or bypass on your way.
Once you enter the above mentioned car, start with eliminating all nearby zombies - soon you will leave Billy in this place. Take interest in the right window shown on the picture above that is opened. It is located near the entrance to the car, on the other side of the stairs leading to upper floor. Position yourself near the window as Rebecca, open inventory, select the Hookshot and confirm that you want to use it (Use). Rebecca will automatically use the hook to climb to the roof of the train (M1,17). Walk a bit and jump through the hole in the roof to a new room (M1,18).
Quickly kill the single zombie and find the Jewelry Box lying on the ground in that room. Open the inventory and thoroughly examine the item (Examine action). It will end in you obtaining the Silver Ring. Try leaving the room. Watch a short cutscene and quickly run towards the upper part of the screen. Walk downstairs (M1,2). You must hurry as otherwise Rebecca will be attacked by leeches. Walk towards Billy, open inventory and give him the ring (Exchange action). Now switch to Billy, open the inventory and Combine the Silver Ring with the Briefcase. The ring will be placed in second slot. Now you can examine the briefcase and take the Blue Keycard from it.
Go to the car in which you recently used the Hookshot. You can save your progress here in room 201 (soon you will have a time trial to complete) or immediately go forward. Your destination is a closed door at the end of the wagon (M1,19). Use the recently acquired Blue Keycard on the scanner to unlock passage. Watch a longer cutscene. Ignore the murdered soldiers and walk to the driver cabin (M1,20). You will now learn that you must activate the emergency brake and you will receive the Brake Operation Manual.
