Regenerador

Regeneradores were experimental bioweapons created by the Plaga implantation procedure. Capable of near-instantaneous regeneration, they were able to take incredible amounts of damage before succumbing to their injuries.

History


The Regeneradores were created on the island by implanting multiple "leech-like" Plagas into a single, human host. The Plagas' effects rendered their human-level consciousness non-existent.

Locations
Autopsy Room

The first one is encountered in Chapter 5-1. When Leon S. Kennedy collects a keycard from a dead body, a Regenerador awakes in a nearby locked autopsy room. The Regenerador breaks down the door and attacks Leon. First time seeing it, most players run away because they are terrified of the creature's appearance and its (seeming) invulnerability.

Corridor (First)

Two more are met outside of the room; one around the second corner of the corridor, and another through the iron gates down a very tight corridor at the very end to the right past the second. These ones are encountered after the Autopsy Room. If the player kills the first one in the corridor, it makes the second easier to deal with. Don't try to deal with both of them at once, it is very difficult.

Freezer Room

The fourth is located in the room where the freezer key is converted into the waste disposal key. This one only attacks if Leon unfreezes the room using the control panel and picks up the infra-red scope or enters the room with an infra-red scope carried over from a previous game. With this Regenerador, the door locks, forcing you to battle with it until it is dead. The best way to battle this Regenerador is with the infra-red scope the player just picked up. The door unlocks and you leave with your best defense and offense against three other Regeneradors.

Corridor (Second)

The next two Regeneradors you find will be when the player is with Ashley after the wrecking ball part. The first one will come out when the player calls to Ashley or pulls the first lever. As it is a normal Regenerador, it has the plagas you must shoot before it dies. The second one is further down the corridor, which will come out when Leon calls to Ashley or walks close enough until it is visible. It is not advisable to run past the first Regenerador and into the second one, because you will end up having to fight both at once.

Prison Cell (Island)

The only encounter Ada Wong has with a Regenerador is right before her fight with Jack Krauser, where she sees one lying on a table. It is harmless. This is also the last Regenerador Leon has to fight. The last Regenerador is in a prison cell; right when you walk in, you can hear unsettling music and erratic breathing. The Regenerador is in the last left cell door. Most players will walk right by if they don't hear the breathing and are startled when a Regenerador is biting their neck a second later. Another way the player can get to this Regenerador is by hugging the left side of the prison door; the player can see that the Regenerador is just standing there. It will only start to notice you if you run out, shoot it, or make it regrow a limb. Also, you can run by the door and climb up the wall - the Regenerador will follow slowly, running into the wall you jumped up. You can kill the Regenerador that way or just leave through the door up there.

Regeneradors have a different number of Plaga in them with each difficulty setting, ranging from 2-5. They always have one on their back.
