Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough

After watching the opening cutscene, follow the street up north towards the  the butcher shop, you still can’t pick any items or draw any weapons, so don’t  bother about exploring the area. Later on the street, you’ll find some people  beating “something” inside a bag. They’ll stop as soon as you reach them.  After that, there will be a small cutscene and everyone will simply vanish  from the area. *CHECKPOINT* Continue further the street up to the Butcher  Shop. When you reach the it, go to the right side of it, enter the door and  talk to the man standing right in front of you.

After the cutscene, open the briefcase and equip yourself. Grab everything you  can and then go next to the man. He’ll tell you to go to the town square and  then he’ll leave. *CHECKPOINT* There are two documents explaining how the  control schemes work and how the dying status work. Read them if you wish and  exit through the big door. Head down the stairs, watch the cutscene and  continue all the way down. Enter the door right in front of the dead body and  open the door to the next room. There’s a document on the table by the corner  of the room. Exit the house via the back door, go up the stairs right in front  of you and enter the blue door to your right.

*CHECKPOINT* Be prepared to fight! Following the cutscene, as you may imagine,  this guy will run and try to attack you. Finish him and go thru the door to  the next room. Go to the window by the corner of the room and jump out through  it. Go ahead and take the first path to the right. Okay, now some more bad  dudes will go after you. There’s no need to fight them, rush to the house  right ahead and you’ll avoid them. There’s a door which can be knocked down,  but requires you and your partner to do so. Investigate it and then press B  to take it down. Jump down the hole in the corner of the room and follow the  path. Climb the ladder by the end of the path, grab the goodies and go to the  red door. Follow the path and go inside the big house.

*CHECKPOINT* Okay, now you’re in real trouble. Run to the shelves by the door  and the window and push them so they block it. You may command your partner to  do one of them so you can save some precious time. While the majinis are still  outside, grab as many items as you can, since you’ll really need it. They’ll  break the shelves you were using as protection, so keep shooting them so they  don’t come inside the house. After some time there’ll be a small cutscene and  the majinis will start to come inside through the ceiling. At this time, run  to the door you just blocked and wait near the yellow gate. If you didn’t take  long, you’ll see the Executioner Majini break the gate. Right after this, run  past him to the area north of it, this will give you some room to breathe. Now  you have to wait patiently until help arrives, unfortunately, the majinis will  not do the same. You can’t stay long in the same place or else they’ll corner  you, not to mention the Executioner, which you should not stay close for a  single second. He can be defeated, however he will take quite a bit of lead  and you may not have that much at this point of the game. By the northwest  corner of this area there are some stairs which take you to the roof of some  buildings, you can go all the way to the last one and stay there for a while  until you’re surrounded. I like to do this, and then repeat it, since it’ll  avoid the executioner and avoid the big crowds of majinis. While doing that,  make sure you break containers so you can find more ammo. Also, while you’re  on top of the buildings, you can throw some nice grenades, that’s a good way  to defeat the executioner. If you manage to do so, make sure you get the  Gold Ring he drops. After some time, you’ll get a radio transmission telling  you to take cover. You’ll watch a cutscene and that’s the end of the chapter.
