Just aim for the knees and keep knifing. What i do is press r1 to ready my knife and turn just a little to the left to accomodate the range to take take advantage of the full swiping motiom from Claire's arm, it's almost imposible to miss with tjis technique
lol. I was rewatching the video and I noticed that some texts were cut off. Anyways, here are the tips: •Check the distance on Claire's [right side]. If there's a wall on her right side, the knife will hit the wall and Claire will enter into a "staggered" animation. In this animation, it'll take a while before she can hit with the knife again. •The knifing animation propels your character forward whenever you press the button. So, if there's a wall right in front of you, be careful not to spam the attack button and hit the wall. •Practice makes perfect. Wait until the zombie is at arm's length before you slash.
I can't get this to work consistently. The zombies almost always grab me, cancelling my knife animations and I take a ton of damage and have to use a lot of herbs when trying to do this
it takes practice and repetition in order for you to consistently hit zombies with it. Once you're at arms reach within the zombie, spam the attack button. Once you hit the zombie the first time, the second time will hit multiple hitboxes on the zombie followed by a knife cutting sound that hits multiple times. Within the second attack, the zombie will fall down and you have to keep attacking it until it doesn't get up anymore.
@hzkjoncee in the very beginning. It's right after Claire gets broken out of her jail cell. It's on the desk next to the guy with an injury, idk his name rn. Lol I missed it on my very first playthrough too 😂
Do you people not explore the areas? Everyone seems to forget the knife and get pissed that they don’t have anything to defend themselves with…look around!
trust me, it will hit. as long as you're locked on to a zombie. as far as i know, there's no way to shove a zombie before it bites you. once a zombie grabs you, you're gonna get bit and Claire/Chris automatically shoves 'em back.
Altimitt Thankyou for the reply😁 Yeah ive been trying to shove them off me today but they always take a bite😓 So satisfying getting the mutiple hits with the knife though! Never knew it was so powerful🔪
@@fosstar yeah, no problem! it saved me a couple of times when I'm out of bullets. also, I think it's possible to finish the whole game with just a knife. lol
Altimitt yeah! I remember seeing that you can take on the Tyrant on the plane later in the game with only the knife lol I’ll definitely try it but i still have PTSD from getting whacked off the plane😂
@@Altimittkun Sometimes if you move your joystick a lot faster and you spam the circle button you can actually shove a zombie before it bites Claire, I need to record it because its true.
this was recorded on a ps2? my copy looks MUCH worse that this, i wonder why. its so dark i can hardly see without having the lighter equipped at all times
this method is not acurate, you aways get bited inevitably, you have to do 180 degree quick turn plus quick step run foward when a zombie is close to you, he will miss the grab and then you aim the knife, automaticaly she do a quick turn and you knife his knees, thats the way it works and you never get bited this way!
It's a fairly effective strategy. You WILL take damage from time to time, and in the case you are attacked, if your button presses are fast enough, you can shove them off before taking a hit. Dont just look at them and let them get you trapped in a corner either. Depending on enemy population and room layout, you may have to arm yourself with some patience and get control of your situation; get them where you need them to be in order to take them out. You're not gonna rush through a Knife Run anyway so get used to killing some zombies and leaving one or two that arent on a main route or blocking a door.
my method you never get grabbed by zombies - and its much easier to improve then try press fast buttons repeatelly to avoid get bited in the moment of get grabbed because every knifing the character do a very little step foward and because of that you aways get risk to get grabbed, and my way is to improve gameplay for fun without doing any runshing for speed run training!
@@Wulfram come on man. Cut him a break... You can tell english is not his mothers language. Do you have to be such a c*nt?! Let's see you speak in his language.

This really useful guide for me, I waste too many bullets and healing when using normal weapons, so my gameplay progress becomes difficult.

dude, thank you! I needed this.
no problem!
Resi 2 Tofu be all like 『なんやねん!ワイもそのナイフが欲しいでぇ!』 (The hell! I want that knife!)
It works against the hunters really well also. Maybe better than it does against the zombies.

I didn't even know there was a knife in this game... 😅😅😅
Where is the knife located?

The knifing is hit or miss for me, but apparently you can shove zombies off before they bite you? Would you know how to do this?

Yesterday I tried to knife enemies out and it was impossible to me. Thanks for the tips, I'll try them out and I'll tell you later how it went!
Great! Hope to hear from you soon!
Dude thank you
Hey, thanks for commenting, man. I didn't know this vid is still getting views after all these years.
this was recorded on a ps2? my copy looks MUCH worse that this, i wonder why. its so dark i can hardly see without having the lighter equipped at all times
No. This was recorded using PCSX2. But I didn't change any settings so it looks pretty much identical to a PS2.
hey, man, thanks!
No problemo~!
Dude what button is it to attack???
I think it was Press and hold R1 and press X (PS2) or A button (Dreamcast/PC) to attack.
@@Altimittkun thx dawg
I trying doing this to Doc zombie to save ammo and without saving to get A ranking but failed and had to start new game so dumb
lmao. But it works, right?

Huh the knife is too weak weapon i like to escape from zombies rather than stab them
I'd argue that it's the weakest, but I admit you do have to be at close range in order to be effective. But it is better than the crossbow.
@@Altimittkun Crossbow with special bullets is one of the best in the game ;).
It's one of the best knife versions of any RE game, especially with multiple hit registration. Best of luck on the grind!
