Chris: 6:30

Battle Game FAQ Guide (credits: aerwin)
http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/445328-resident-evil-code-veroni...
- Use this guide to know what you are up against and where the healing items are.

[Wesker] S Rank Difficulty: ***** (*Start with Knife only)
- Unlock Wesker by completing Chris's Battle Game
- Watch the video to find out where to get a Magnum.
- Watch huoshao524 (the video uploader) wisely spend 2 magnum rounds on explosives to waste zombies.
- Watch huoshao524 defeat Alexia with 4 magnum rounds and 2 knife slashes.
- Aim for the legs. One strike to the legs counts as two hits. Be aware the range of slashing down is smaller than slashing straight.
- To make a zombie fall, slash straight on its torso and then slash down on its legs.

### From the comments, I heard about the Magnum missing from the cabinet for people who did not take a "diary" at the very same place on previous runs with any characters. Be on your toes, folks. ###

[Claire (Bow Gun)] S Rank Difficulty: ***** (*6 minutes / 18 rooms = 20s per room)
- Unlock Claire (Bow Gun) with the Battle Game mode itself by completing the Main Game.
- Watch the video. (credits: HKGoldenMrA)
- Do not pick up any healing items. Claire has plenty and time is short.
- Fire away against zombie hordes. Don't be precise and slow.

[Chris] S Rank Difficulty: **** (*Alexia 3 is highly mobile)
- Unlock Chris with the Battle Game mode itself by completing the Main Game
- Watch HKGoldenMrA (the video uploader) corner Alexia 3 and makes short work of her.

[Steve] S Rank Difficulty: ***
- Unlock Steve by obtaining the Lugar Replica from the Main Game in the tank-underground save room. You need NOT be carrying it when the game ends. Just put it in the item box.
- Watch kaneochang (video uploader) fire away with the sub-machine gun.

[Claire (Grenade Launcher)] S Rank Difficulty: **
- Watch the video. (credits: HKGoldenMrA)

Actually, it's also A-rank in the EU version. Only the JP version has S-rank.

Guys, there aren't that many sources of the Battle Game time requirement on the internet.

My source probably is not EXACTLY accurate BUT it gives you the general idea how fast you should complete your missions. Simply said, it gets the job done.

Wouldn't it look strange to complain about something that gets the job done?

Nevertheless, I welcome you to give me a MORE reliable source, if any.

There's a basement office in the main game with four drawers: red, green, blue, and brown. If you open them in the right order (the order I just said) you get the Luger Replica item. Then you just dump it in the item box (I think there is one in the room you're in) and forget about it.

Notice where Alexia 3 is when you regain control. Rush to the fence in her direction and hopefully she will stay there like in the video. Fire away with the Magnum and do not dodge her fireballs. I cleared Chris's game exactly like HKgoldenMrA.

If you were talking about Alexia 2, it was actually simple. Keep firing as much as possible.

Some people like to re-position themselves while the bugs are overwhelming but the bugs are very agile. You might want to just fire away and health if necessary.

With Wesker i got an A with 15 mins. It's just staying alive that's hard. A little trick with the knife that saved me lots of time is aim downwards and slightly at an angle so you end up hitting the zombies at the side of their knees, if you get it right they will fall straight down on the ground. Also be careful when entering your inventry to mix herbs or heal as the time still continues so be very quick doing it. Hope this helps since i know how much of a pain it can be. If anyone needs further help don't hesitate to messege me ^^

Just got this by finally beating it with Wesker. I couldn't master the timing on the downward slash, so I did one chest level then a downward, knocks em down every time. Managed to get to Alexia my first run today, but since I hadn't gotten the diary with any other character, I got that instead of the magum. Totally forgot you have to get that before it'll start forking over guns. Good guide.

to ensure you get the magnum don't use a first aid spray! by all means pick any up but i'll repeat don't use a first aid spray until after you have the magnum

That magnum is random, I swear, but I heeded ^RetroGeneration's comment out of paranoia.

Anyway, not a terrible achievement, mostly just a fun power-run with everyone except Wesker.
Thanks for the links and time-windows.

Man, I know I'm late to the party, but I just now attempted these. It's ridiculously hard and the bug things with Alexia keep coming unlike this video shows. You'd think it would be easy with Chris but I can barely do just under 7 minutes. It's frustrating.

At no point in your guide did you specify that you need to get A-rank with all 5 characters to unlock this achievement. Was waiting patiently for my achievement to pop after getting my A-rank with Claire, only THEN did it dawn on me that I'd have to get back to work with Wesker and the others... I feel stupid... Otherwise, great guide.

Yes I agree that OP failed big time by not adding that easy line of letters, confused me a lot!

The final boss for Chris is complete bs though, not only by the kamikaze way of completing the first form, but to get her to stay in the corner and also hit the freaking target! I'm pulling my hair out of frustration as the video doesn't explain a crap about doing it consistently!

In the video for Wesker, the second shot he takes to blow up the zombie and damage all of them around it is a speed run strat. If you are careful and use you knife instead you will have 5 shots for the final boss and that will kill it. No need to get close and use you knife.

For anyone who still wants to work on this I have to say that a trick picked up from the A rank guide is a MASSIVE help here as Wesker.

You want to let zombies grab you. Sounds crazy right? Not with the wiggle stick and mash A combo. When you get the timing down the zombies will grab you and you’ll throw them off without getting bit. Entire hordes can be cleared without getting damaged if you are patient with the timing. You can still swipe at the legs if you wish just quickly prepare if they come in for a grab. I would typically be spinning the stick BEFORE the grab and mashing A to guarantee success.

This will help minimize damage to enemies like the Hunters, Sweepers and Bandersnatches.

Also Side note but for some reason my Alexia tanked 5 magnum shots so I had to finish her off with one swipe of the knife lol a bit too scary for my liking.

I just beat it with Wesker and got the Linear Launcher, and I have to specifically thank @TVthePunisher for his comment about HOW to push a zombie off of you before he bites you. I thought you had to rotate the joystick while mashing both the X & A buttons, but my results were wildly inconsistent. Just rotating the joystick while ONLY mashing the A button has a much higher success rate. So if you ever read this TVthePunisher, thank you for that extremely helpful tidbit of information. Also thank you to OP for making this little guide for each character and the achievement.

I just want to mention that getting the diary or the magnum has nothing to do with if you have already gotten the diary before. I had only gone in that room one time before with Claire and gotten a First-Aid Spray, before I realized how tight her time limit was. After that, I never went into that room again until I was doing Wesker’s run, in which I got the magnum and completed the challenge. To clarify, I’ve only gone in the room two times total, never gotten the diary with any character, but still got the magnum with Wesker. It’s completely random, which makes sense since it’s a slot machine.

wasnt really interpreting what i was supposed to do for this achievement but poor explanation aside, once i figured out you need A ranks for all characters to get the launcher, the videos were helpful at least.

also for grenade claire, flame rounds are way better than regular. they have more range and 1-2 shot everything but tyrant, which at that point i just sprayed him with the ak at a safe distance. was super easy this way.

Thanks alot for posting the times needed for 'A' raning, and for the uploading the video's also. even after watching the vid, I'm not sure how this guy managed to do Wesker's battle in just over 10 mins!!!
I've only got to do this with Steve & Chris now so I'll have this 'cheeve' pop soon.
Again, many thanks :)

I don't remember the Dream Cast version or PS2 version having the unlimited ammo for certain weapons, ie. the bowgun (with explosive arrows) and the magnum... Is this something new to the DLC or am I missing something?

Great walkthrough by the way, really enjoyed the videos... And people, he is stating the minimums that he knows to achieve an A ranking. Just because your time wasn't as good as his or someones that he researched doesn't mean he is wrong. He is simply stating what he did it in...

Great guide. Done wesker 2nd try, died at first 2 hunters first time.

A couple of points.

For the first four characters i DID NOT go into the slot machine room at all.
As wesker I picked up all health items i found and used them.
Got Magnum first time. Think about guys, its a SLOT MACHINE, what are slot machines??? RANDOM :D

I wasn't so keen on risking having to knife alexia. So i used one magnum bullet on the explosive canister like the video but did not use a second bullet on the last zombie room, on the explosive zombie. However, I think there are less zombies in the first room so i would maybe switch it around. 5 bullets kill alexia, you don't even have to move.

To answer hERetIXxx question, i know going into the inventory does NOT stop the clock, i tried this while I watched one of the videos and I was at 6 minutes when I came out of the inventory, select button I am not sure but I don't advise it anyway, its good to just get through it asap with it fresh in mind where you are and whats next.

Perhaps should maybe include the locations of the herbs:

* In the second area, there is a green herb right at the back, behind the 'playing dead' zombie, on top of a barrel.

* In the room with the three Bandersnatches, examine the payphones on the left hand wall for a first-aid spray.

* When you first fight the two Hunters, on top of a crate in plain view.

* There is a blue herb in the area with the Sweeper and Hunter, in the conveyor belt/packaging area. It is on the belt next to the control box.

* Pick up the first-aid spray which is located in the area where the Doctor/Surgeon mini-boss was. It is right next to the door to leave this room.

* You can pick up two green herbs and a blue herb in the bonus room, where you get the Magnum.

* You will come to another room with a Hunter and Sweeper. Examine the lockers in the middle part of the room for a first-aid spray.

* There is another first-aid spray on the desk in the room with the three Bandersnatches. I suggest you take the right-hand side first, as this way you get access to the spray and can take out one in relative safety.

I think that is all the herbs. There may be one green herb hiding in the conveyor belt/packaging area, but I cannot confirm this. This should be enough health to get you through playing as Wesker. It isn't as bad as it seems

So I really do believe if you never got the diary with any of the other characters it will for sure be what you get with Wesker for the first time. So keep that in mind.
Overall Wesker’s battle game is the toughest because it requires a lot of patience and practice. And honestly once you get past the double hunter room in the beginning it gets much easier.
The other characters just require repetition to get the best time.

P.S. thank you Sir Jumbo in the comments for providing the locations of the healing items. It was very useful.

Just for a heads up to those who follow the videos listed in the other solutions. For Wesker there is no time limit for a cut-off for an A rank. You just have to finish and survive. However in order to get the Magnum from the lottery machine or whatever it is you must be there as close to 8 minutes as you can. If not you get a diary instead and the magnum you need for the Alexia fight. 5 shots is all you need so take your time and make them count.

I thought that you had to Wesker's within 10 minutes (as in the first solution in the Wesker video). Otherwise I would have had this done forever ago.

The other characters are pretty easy since you have unlimited ammo for their best guns. Just watch the vids.

This trophy is potentially missable if you don't follow the roadmap!

You unlock the Linear Launcher and therefore this trophy, by earning Rank A with all characters (including Claire alternate costume) in Battle Mode.

To get the Linear Launcher from the Battle Game you'll need to earn an A-Rank with all Battle Game characters. To unlock the Battle Game you'll need to complete the storyline and have a post-game save on your profile. There are five Battle Game Characters; Claire, Alternate Claire, Steve, Chris and Wesker. Each character has their own gear, time limit and bosses to kill.

See the Battle Mode Guide for additional details.

I’ll add that Steve needs to be unlocked by playing as Chris in a room with a box, a typewriter and a bush with blue grass. Need to take the Luger and put it in the box

The rest are unlocked by playing in this mode.
