Welcome to this short but useful FAQ on Capcom's amazing survival
horror series. This guide is useful for the original RE, the
Director's Cut and RE 2.
Being a great fan of the series I read and talk about them a lot and
am surprised to find that so few magazines, guides and people know the
full extent to which you can mix herbs, providing badly-needed space
saving help in your inventory. Here is a chart to show how many herbs
can be mixed and what the resultant effect on your health is:
Number of herbs Effect
--------------- ------
1 Green The standard green herb - replenishes energy.
1 Blue The standard blue herb - cures poison.
1 Red The standard red herb - not useful on its own.
2 Green Replenishes twice the energy of a green herb.
3 Green Replenishes 3 times the energy of a green herb.
1 Green + 1 Blue Replenishes energy and cures poison.
2 Green + 1 Blue Replenishes twice the energy and cures poison.
1 Green + 1 Red Triples the effect of a green herb.
1 Green, 1 Red + 1 Blue Triples the effect of a green and cures poison.
These are all the possible permutations of herb mixing and they all
take up a single space in your inventory.
That's it except for one thing - once I was playing Resident Evil
Director's Cut and something strange happened. I was playing as Jill
in Advanced mode and I got to the guardhouse (where you have to fight
Plant42). I went through the red double doors which lead to the room
with the pinball tables and the pool table where the big spiders are.
Then I got the empty red book from the table and one of the spiders
spat some acid at me which poisoned me. I went back to the save room
with the chest and took out a blue herb and used it but my poisoned
status was not cured! Then I tried to use a blue herb mixed with a
green herb and then a mix of 1 red, 1 green and 1 blue herb but I was
still poisoned. As you can imagine, this made playing the game quite
hard! If anyone has had a similar experience or knows why this
happened then e-mail me.
