Real Survivor mode is:
-Hard mode
-No storage boxes linked (meaning you have to go back to get the items you placed in a specific box)
-Auto aim disabled (most annoying thing of this mode)
Jill run is recommended (more inventory slots)
I used one of Carcinogen's speedrun videos to achieve this one, might be boring to some people but what I did was watch every step he took and try to follow it the same way. He never saves the game on his world record run but I advise you to always do it before big boss fights (Snake, Plant, etc). He also ignores in the first video, a lot of health items on his way through but I made sure to grab em (in most of the cases I needed them)
Another thing you should note, don't try to save Barry, when you get to Lisa's fight make sure you choose not to give him the magnum back (which will be useful on the Tyrant's first fight), if you do give it back, you will be forced to fight the Tyrant in the roof at the very end, you want to avoid that fight to make things easier. Also don't bother saving Chris either, in the video he grabs all 3 disks to unlock the prison, just ignore those and save some space to take extra health.
This should be your 3rd or 4th run of the game so you should be familiar where the ink ribbons are and when you are ready to save the game each time (even though you have the video for reference making sure you don't enter the boss room without saving)
Might not be a really specific guide but the video is enough to help you get this one, it is challenging but not impossible, I even managed to be in the top 50 worldwide without even trying to finish it really fast, but you don't need to rush, just take your time and be patient on every step, good luck to everyone going for this
Update: First video is a world record video to finish the game the quickest way possible. (He avoids picking up a lot of ammo and health that might be necessary if you aren't a pro player like him)
Two "no damage" playthrough playlists are also posted for those who want to take their time and pick up all the ammo needed to finish (Thanks for the links Raezie).

Carcinogen has actually uploaded actually walkthroughs for RS mode which may be better suited to getting new players through this most as opposed to WR strats that leave you very little ammo/health to make mistakes

I wanted to be efficient and do the 3 hour run with the Real Survivor run since on this run you want to minimize engagements anyway. I watched a video of a 2 hour Real Survivor run and took quick notes on what steps to do and broke them down into different segments according to save points. In the video he only saves once in the residence, so whenever he was passing a save room or entering it I made a note to save and what inventory to manage.
Below are the notes I took and with them I achieved a time of 2 hours and 17 mins with minimal frustration. The beginning of the game where you need to acquire the 4 death masks is the hardest due to having to manage a lot of key items at once and lots of zombies to dodge. After killing the Crimson Elder and heading to the residence it gets substantially easier
If you need a visual reference, here is the video I made the notes off of. I did modify some things as the player here does some unnecessary stuff like trying to get the dagger in the short hall of the Mansion 1F map room. You'll likely just lose it to the zombie that spawns and waste time.
I prioritized safety over speed in some areas. So I dealt with Plant 42 by making V JOLT instead of fighting it, even though that's faster. There's a lot of breathing room and you just need to get it done in 3 hours, we're not trying for world record times here. Make sure you skip all cutscenes and try to read up on what to do next while going through doors to minimize time in the pause menu. Take a few moments in the save rooms to make sure you have the right items before saving and leaving.

I might be a year late, but this guide was absolute perfection. Instructions were clear enough without being a wall of text. Just how I like it. Finished in 2:22 with a few mistakes. Thanks a lot!

Good guide, my dude. I'm terrible at dodging zombies and navigating the fixed camera rooms, I sometimes paused to look at this guide and even had to backtrack for the lighter I missed, and still somehow ended up with a time of... 02:59:40!

To first have access to Real Survival mode you must clear the game as either character using the “Once again…” feature on at least Normal difficulty. To earn the trophy, you must clear the game on Real Survival mode with Chris or Jill; I recommend Jill for this playthrough. There are several things to know about Real Survival mode:
- The game difficulty is set to Hard so enemies are strong.
- Auto-Aim is disabled so you must manually aim at all enemies.
- Item boxes are not linked, so what you stash in one is only accessible from there.
- If you achieved the special weapons, they’re not available to you.
See Gameplay Helps/Hints for additional details.

Special Weapons do NOT work on this mode. That includes the Rocket Launcher and Samurai Edge.
Real Survival is unlocked after completing a normal runthrough as one character. For me personally, I unlocked it after my first run as Jill. In the original Gamecube release, you needed to complete the game in Once Again mode for it to unlock. Then again I was playing as BSAA Jill so I'm not sure if that had any factor in it unlocking on one playthrough.
Real Survival is the hardest difficulty in the game, having access to even less items than hard mode with the added problem of the item boxes NOT BEING LINKED. This means if you place something in an item box, it will only be in that item box, and you must backtrack to get that item. Auto-Aim is also removed, so you will have to manually aim your weapon at the enemy. A neat bonus though is that the broken doorhandle near the East-Wing save-room was always working for me, never once got warned about it being broken.
While ammo and other resources are scarce, I found that I was able to (and to make my run more comfortable, NEEDED to) kill a number of enemies regardless of that fact. Be sure to search most of the rooms your first trip to the mansion for ammo. There is not a great deal of shotgun ammo but be sure to use up all six shots in the first shotgun before relying on the assault. The handgun is useful at the beginning but can be forgotten once you kill necessary zombies. Do not go for the shotgun ammo outside Crimson Elder's crypt until you have all four death masks, that way the two zombies out there will have disappeared.
I highly, highly, highly recommend playing Jill's story for this. Due to the easier time you'll have in certain areas (Plant 42 and having Barry's Magnum). Chris's "higher health" doesn't seem to matter at all in Real Survival so there is no benefit to playing as him aside from challenge.
Here are the monsters I killed as well as some special notes and methods to help you in Real Survival. (note: I always made sure to burn the zombie bodies after if I didn't decapitate with a head shot, there's enough uses for 12 burns in the mansion area alone):
- Zombie above East-Wing Save room, in the small hallway leading to the U-Corridor. I used the length of the hallway up here to shoot him but it took 13 shots to defeat the zombie. Burned after.
- Zombie above Serum Save room stairs on the West-Wing, he always starts near the Balcony rather than the tiny hallway leading to the Sword Corridor. This one I shotgunned in the head with one blast (that left me five of six shots in the original shotgun)
- Two zombies near the Serum Room on the stairs and one who breaks through the door later. I didn't kill the first one until later but removing him lessened the stress passing through this area. Because later on a zombie will break through the metal door upstairs and take the place of the zombie I killed earlier. Luring both to the stairs, I killed both with one clip of the handgun with bullets to spare. Burned both the bodies after.
- Zombie on Balcony above Dining Room. He'll eventually move from the side with the statue to between the two doors, making him a nuisance. Burned him after (wasted a shotgun blast thinking it'd take his head off, did not)
- Two zombies in U-Corridor outside the Armor Puzzle Room. These guys would be extremely annoying to constantly dodge so I used my handgun to kill one and blew off the other's head with my shotgun. Burned the former.
- A SPECIAL NOTE! Going back to the Serum Room, the next corridor leading to a Death Mask behind some vines has two zombies that bust through the glass on your way back. As long as you NEVER exit to the Kenneth Hallway, that zombie will not try to break through the door later on (he will attempt on your second run-through of the mansion after Hunters arrive but that might actually be a Hunter trying to bust through, I didn't stick around long enough to find out). So as soon as they bust through the glass, head back towards the Serum Room and go around to avoid that issue.
- One Cerberus for the Dog Collar, required. Shotgunned then stabbed off me with a dagger. Ignore the other one.
- Original Zombie in Kenneth Hallway. I eventually decided to gun him down with the handgun to get him out of the way from the Piano Room, but because of the above tip I never had to deal with a second zombie bursting in here. It may change for you, all I know is he never tried to enter the hallway. Burned OZ.
- Fought Yawn (shot him twice with the shotgun, using up the last of the rounds) until he eats Richard. Lured him, grabbed assault shotgun (already picked up the Death Mask earlier) and left.
- Crimson Elder. Just shot him three times with the grenade launcher.
- SPECIAL NOTE! Lisa Trevor in the cabin, I had the assault shotgun with me and fired two shots at her. The reason for this is that after the second shot she'll spout out tentacles and be unable to do anything during this animation. That is when you run passed her, otherwise she will almost certainly smack you with her fused hands.
- Three Cerberus in Courtyard. These pups were annoying me so I ended up killing them later but you can do it now if you wish, you won't be using the shotgun any in the Residence (except for like one zombie, even then you could just use the self-defense gun). Try to kill two together in a blast to save ammo.
- Mother Neptune. Kill it with electricity, as per usual.
- Plant 42. V-Jolt it. That's all, Barry will take care of the rest.
- Hunter 1. The first Hunter that attacks you, turn around and shotgun it with the Assault Shotgun. I personally had it on me so I'd be able to take care of it.
- Hunter 2 and Hunter 3. These are the last hunters you will have to encounter here, if you follow the method below. Just kill them both with the shotgun, either before or after entering the save-room.
- To avoid all the remaining Hunters, head up from the save room to the fireplace room where a Helmet key door is. Kill or avoid the Spiders after you reach the basement (I personally ran passed them) and kill the two zombies in the next area. Go into the Kitchen and head to the elevator (just lure the zombie out and run around him).
- After reaching the second floor, kill the zombie just outside of the room with the battery and grab the battery. Go out the door here and gun down the Crimson Head in the sword hallway. Avoid the other zombies but if you need to, kill the one near the balcony exit. If you're running out of inventory space, head through the door near the mirrors so you can reach the save room on the first floor. Afterwards, head back up and go back to the sword Hallway, then up to where Yawn is.
- Kill Yawn (I personally used two remaining shots from a grenade launcher and six bullets from the magnum revolver. You won't need the magnum for Tyrant since you'll be using his Barry's), get the book and head back down to the area above the save room mentioned above.
- Unlock the one locked door here to grab the red gem, store the book downstairs then head back up and to the sword hallway again. Go towards the Crow Cage corridor and wrap around to Kenneth's Corridor. Shouldn't be any enemies here and the Hunter won't come at you.
- Run to the dining room, then to the final helmet key door to remove that and grab the box inside. Get the Spencer Key, head upstairs and use the U Corridor to get back to the East-Wing save room.
- Go out the door that's normally broken and into the Spencer room, get the object and store it in the box. Now you're ready to head back out to the Courtyard.
- Two Cerberus by the Waterfall Entrance. Annoying so I got rid of them with the assault shotgun.
- SPECIAL NOTE! I ran by every single Hunter that shows up in the Caves, it's relatively easy to do as whenever they show up they're more interested in screeching at you than immediately attacking. Use this opportunity to escape. This includes the area with two Hunters. On my way back through this room, one of them stupidly swiped at the wall while the other was too far away so I never had to fire a shot.
- Black Tiger. Because the Incendiary rounds aren't available yet, I had to use Acid Rounds that I picked up from Barry at the start of the game. About 2-3 hits will do him in. Make sure you immediately run to the left or right to avoid a charge. Manual aim can be a pain here and you might miss him with the grenades. Bring a secondary gun to ease the problem. Ignore the two spiders that climb on the ceiling.
- SPECIAL NOTE! After returning to the mansion, start backtracking while avoiding Hunter areas to bring all the items you have in the two item boxes to the item box below the stairs where you'll end up fighting Lisa. Ultimately the only things I brought with me into the labs were the assault shotgun, shotgun ammo (around 20 shells), the magnum revolver, magnum ammo and the fuel canteen/lighter. I doubled back after beating Lisa for the medals to place, then doubled back again to get the items I needed.
- Lisa. Avoid her as usual in the caves then at the Altar, you're going to NOT give Barry his gun back. Afterwards, just start pushing stones. She mostly just stood there while I did this and I didn't have to fire a single bullet. After all stones are down, pick up Barry's Magnum and continue on.
- With all items you need for the labs, I killed the first three zombies in the labs and burned those that didn't decapitate. I also killed the two zombies down on the next floor for the Fuel Capsule route.
- Kill all Chimera in the room where you'll be placing the Fuel Capsule, just to be safe. Ignore all the Chimera in the next area and simply run passed all of them but honestly, you can shoot them with whatever Shotgun/Magnum ammo you have left (do not use your Barry Magnum...at least save 1 shot in it).
- Shoot Tyrant with Barry's Magnum, run to the roof, escape. Don't worry about Chris.
