This Resident Evil 2 guide goes step-by-step on how to acquire the cooling solution in order to progress further into the final act’s Underground Facility location.
For the past week, millions of players have had the chance to play Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2, a full-fledged reimagining of the 1998 classic from the original PlayStation. The story follows protagonists Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as players will be able to play their respective storylines as they each look to escape the terrors of the Racoon City Police Department and surrounding areas, as well as uncover the conspiracy centered around the recent zombie outbreak.
During the game’s final act, both characters will find themselves trenching through the dark hallways of the Umbrella Corp. Underground Facility in search of the G-virus, the chemical solution responsible for the recent outbreak. In order to gain access to the facility’s maximum security lab, players will need to upgrade their security clearance ID wristbands they acquire shortly after entering the area in order to eventually find the virus, and beat one of Resident Evil 2‘s multiple storylines.
In order to upgrade the wristband from level 2 to level 3 security clearance, players will need to find the cooling solution for the facility’s Greenhouse section, which opens a new area where the level 3 upgrade can be acquired. This guide will walk through how to acquire the cooling solution, from finding the initial capsule, to arming it with the solution necessary to clear the pathway for players.
Note: Depending of which walkthrough is being played, the location of key items and combinations to unlock certain areas will vary.
This guide follows the ‘A’ Walkthrough, as Leon.
Players will first need to acquire the Dispersal Cartridge, located in the Greenhouse Control Room. When prompted, a short cutscene will initiate, showing the current state of the canister has no effects on the vegetation, which is referred to as ‘Plant 43’.
