Rookie files

Rookie files (ルーキーファイル) is a file that can be found in Resident Evil 2.

Location
The file will be present in the File menu upon starting the game on Easy or Rookie mode. It is never found in-game and does not appear on harder difficulties.

Transcript
Official localization= A statue of a woman bearing a water vessel.

There's an inscription and a hole on the pedestal...

The statue holding a red jewel...

The two statues against each wall appear to have been moved before. Police staff have been told not to move either unless necessary.

The water tank on the roof.

The tank ruptured on one occasion when the regulator valve was tightened too much. The valve handle was removed after the accident. Original script= ●水瓶を持った女性像 台座には碑文と何かをはめるような円い穴が開いているが⋯

●赤い宝石を掲げた石像 横にある２体の石像はー度配置を変えたらしい. 署員には不用意に動かすなと通達されているようだ.

Further notes

 * In the original script, only two hints are given in the file. The localization adds one more hint regarding the water tank puzzle.
 * This file is included in the original Playstation release of the game. It uses the same transcript which references Rookie mode before it was an established feature. The file also appears in the Nintendo 64 version where the mode is also absent.
