While exploring the Rhodes Hill Medical Center, Grace eventually encounters Emily, a young blind girl locked in a cell in the medical supply room. Why Emily is locked remains a mystery, but Grace’s primary goal is to save Emily and herself from the infected and escape Victor Gideon’s medical facility.
When the duo reaches the Water Treatment Plant, events take a tragic turn: the Monster Girl dies, but everything goes wrong, and it’s at this point that many gamers wonder if they could have done something different to avoid a worse fate for the character they’ve grown attached to. Below, we’ll explain whether it’s possible to save Emily in Resident Evil Requiem and how to do it.
After defeating the Girl at the water treatment plant, Grace returns to Emily and finds her dead. Ashcroft begins CPR. Unfortunately, due to severe hemorrhaging from the helicopter crash, Emily never regains consciousness. Moreover, like many people exposed to the virus , she soon appears to return to life, but only as a mutant . Leon is forced to shoot the monster in front of a shocked Grace.
Meanwhile, when controlling Leon, players are given a false choice—to shoot or not. Regardless of your decision, the same cutscene will trigger, in which Emily appears to die.
It doesn’t matter whether you shoot her once, aim for her vital organs, her heart, or whatever—Emily will still die at that moment. There’s no way to prevent her death or her transformation into a monster in this case.
However, the girl’s story doesn’t end there!
If you choose the “Free Elpis” option at the end of Resident Evil Requiem, thus achieving the canonical ending, Leon and Grace will return offscreen to the water treatment plant and inject the antivirus into Emily’s body. This will revive the girl and cure her blindness. Grace Ashcroft will adopt her (just as Alyssa Ashcroft once did). Thus, you can save Emily, but only by choosing the correct ending in Resident Evil Requiem.
