How to unlock the I Might Need These Later! achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 3 - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be done on any difficulty and is easiest to complete on Assisted mode.

All SHOP items can be used for this achievement.

Assisted mode will heal you from caution to fine after a couple of minutes, even without a Recovery Coin.

The game forces you to use a green herb when you become infected early on in the game. This is the only heal you will be able to utilize during the playthrough. Be careful not to use healing up to/after that point.

(NOTE: Nick S reported that on Assisted mode, the game automatically removed the parasite after he restored all power switches and left the area. Keep in mind that while this may allow you to keep a healing item to use for later, you will be stuck at "caution" until you use the item, have a Recovery Coin equipped, or playing on ASSISTED.)

To make sure you dont screw up, save before and after every boss fight as Nemesis is the easiest way to take damage. I also recommend saving once at every save location you encounter to be extra safe.

If you are low on health, be sure to simply reload to your last checkpoint (auto saves work) and try the area again, hopefully retaining more of your health.

IMPORTANT: Jill and Carlos gain a free heal when taking control of them after playing as the other. Make sure you utilize this. If your at low health as Jill just before switching to Carlos, once you return to Jill, she will be fully healed.

Please comment if I missed something important or if you have an additional strategy and I will update.

Good Luck!

The game forces you to use a green herb when you become infected early on in the game: While playing on assisted difficulty, Jill puked without using a healing item after I turned on all four switches and leaving the roach like creatures' den. I did it very fast but I was a long time on "caution".

@Nick S Okay interesting thanks for letting me know. It never occurred to me that it might remove the parasite for you on Assisted. I always just used an herb. I'll add that to the guide.

No problem. It's annoying you can't run but I thought that "I Might Need one Later" lol because if they grab u u can be infected again. Thanks for referring me but u might clarify that the parasite went away of my mouth when I entered the previously padlocked door, after I restored power. Also on assisted, danger status becomes caution after a couple of minutes everytime without coins.

So using the recovery coins is okay and allows us to get the achievement still?

Yeah but you don't really need them and this achievement can stack with minimalist so easily on assisted. That's how I did it.

Personally I think it's kind of bullshit they count the one time they pretty much force you to use a healing item.

Can confirm positively that on ASSISTED, you do cough up the Drain Deimos' parasite upon leaving the substation to go flip the switch to reactivate the power to the subway control station. Did an ASSISTED/no-heal run on my stream last week (http://www.twitch.tv/craterbob), and did NOT use any green herbs in the substation after being implanted with the Drain Deimos' parasite upon attempting to enter the substation. However, you cannot run with the parasite, so make sure that you don't take too many or any hits from the Drain Deimos monsters in the substation, because ASSISTED will bring you back from Danger to Caution, but if you can stay Fine through the entirety of the substation until leaving, then you can stay in Fine the rest of that Jill segment.

Again, confirming that you don't need a green herb in the substation as you WILL cough up the Drain Deimos parasite upon leaving the substation on ASSISTED.

You can actually stack this one with a Nightmare or Inferno run since the only time an herb will be used is when you enter the spider lair at the Subway Power Substation to get rid of the parasites Jill gets infected with. The recovery coins will recover any health loss if you happen to take any hits. Two Recovery Coins will cost 8000P in the Shop in the Main Menu under Bonuses. Quickly tapping the button, if grabbed, will actually effect how much damage you'd receive. So beat the QTE before the enemy's attack, and you'll receive no damage.

At the power plant, when you are infected with parasites according to the plot (this will be through a cut-scene), you can use it.
Or if you are worried, buy “recovery coins” in the in-game store and don’t worry about the trophy.

Coins will not restore health during poisoning; you must use herbs.
