How to Kill Yawn in Resident Evil

In Resident Evil on the GameCube, Yawn is a boss that is a snake that grew giant because it was infected with the T-Virus (like every other enemy in the game). Disposing of him is no easy task, but it must be done in order to proceed.

Note: This guide is written to help out for both characters, and it will note any differences.

Method 1
Method 1 of 2:

First Encounter

Although you can just grab the Death Mask and Shotgun Shells and run away, if you are playing as Jill you should stay so you get Richard's Assault Shotgun. Even if you don't want that to replace the Shotgun, you can still use up its 10 rounds as a bonus.

    Go to the attic of the mansion, through the door unlocked with the Shield Key.

    Go forward in the room. A cutscene will be triggered where the giant snake, Yawn appears in front of you.
    • If you are playing as Jill, Richard will burst into the room, say "It's payback time!" and help out.

    With the cutscene over, start shooting Yawn with the Shotgun. When he raises his head and prepares to strike, run out of the way.

    After shooting him for a while, there will be a cutscene where it looks like he dies.
    • If as Jill, she will thank Richard. Yawn will then rise from the dead and lunge over directly towards Jill. Richard pushed her out of the way, but he gets eaten instead.

    If you were bitten by Yawn, you will be poisoned. Go to the Medical Save Room (appears as "Drug Rm." on your file if you save there) and get some Serum, the same thing you used on Richard.

Method 2 of 2:

Second Encounter

This is way later in the game (right after beating Plant 42 and getting the Helmet Key in the Residence and re-visiting the mansion, to be precise). This is mandatory and you get to really kill off Yawn once and for all.

    Wind around the bookshelves and turn around to shoot him every now and then.

    Right before he dies, there will be a cutscene where he hits the bookshelf and books fall down.

    In the pile of books, pick up one of the books he knocks down and examine it to find the Eagle medal in it.
