![]() ![]() Planting itself onto the brainstem, the parasite begins to grow. It is known that they are cultivated in a chemical medium prior to implantation, such as VT-J98. NE-α Type parasites are transplanted into a host body when they are at a cellular, infant stage of development. No further work was done on the Nemesis Project, and no further Nemesis-T Types are known to have been produced. The resulting experiment, dubbed " Nemesis-T Type", was sent out into Raccoon City with orders to hunt down the last of S.T.A.R.S., which would prove the parasites' mental abilities. of human-level intelligence, the Nemesis Project was effectively a dead-end until a decision was made for an experiment to implant a Nemesis parasite into one of the mass-produced T-103 Tyrant clones. With the Tyrant Project being successfully completed in the creation of a B.O.W. The second successful implantation within an organism took place ten years after the Trevor experiment in mid-1998. The Arklay Laboratory made no further effort to obtain a second Nemesis parasite. Further investigation ruled this to be the work of the Golgotha Virus, leading to the subsequent G-Virus Project. Due to Trevor's unique physiology which emerged from prior mutations, the parasite was rejected by her immune system and killed, with elements of its genome being spliced into Trevor's. ![]() had been successfully manufactured the Nemesis parasite was instead implanted within the body of Lisa Trevor, a human test subject. This experiment was indirectly part of the new Tyrant Project, but as no such B.O.W. Spencer personally ordered one to be shipped over. The first successful attempt took place at Umbrella USA's Arklay Laboratory that very year, when Umbrella Pharmaceuticals CEO Oswell E. ![]() in 1988 existed which could survive this process, and all test-subjects perished after some five minutes, perhaps along with the parasites themselves. and take over its mental functions as a replacement brain. This parasite would then be placed within the head of an existing B.O.W. The Nemesis Project itself was overseen by Umbrella Europe, and aimed to complete "Phase 3" research by developing an intelligent parasite rather than an intelligent and powerful organism. The NE-α were genetically engineered to mimic these qualities. The inspiration of the project was that of Las Plagas, a parasitic species present in regional Spanish folklore which would hook itself to the spinal cord to control or influence the host, and break out through the neck to defend themselves if need be. Umbrella's bio-weapons research began to move into "Phase 3" of its research, with the creation of B.O.W.s of human-equivalent intelligence. While the Cerberus and Hunter projects showed promise, each animal was only able to learn a few basic commands from their trainer and so were insufficient. R&D projects which created the Chimera and Web Spinner were declared failures due to this issue. with limited intelligence would be unreliable. The deciding factor on this was the issue of intelligence, rather than of raw power, as a powerful B.O.W. development with the intention of supplying products that were suitable for the US military. Parasite zombies, on the other hand, do not care about grenades at all, and shrug off just about any damage that isn’t directly against the eye in the middle of their parasite.The Nemesis Project's origins lie in the early to mid 1980s. Nemesis does seem hard-coded to eat a brief stun whenever you bounce an explosive round off his stupid face, so they’re still useful at times, but they don’t do a lot of actual damage meanwhile, zombies all seem to have some kind of hidden damage multiplier that kicks in whenever you use explosives on them. Likewise, standard explosive rounds from your grenade launcher do relatively little damage to Nemesis, around 200 HP, but will almost always drop standard zombies in one shot. In fact, if you’re trying to knock him over to steal his Supply Cases, a single hand grenade is always going to be your most expedient option. That isn’t enough to stagger Nemesis on paper, but a single hand grenade will knock him to his knees regardless, just as if you depleted his health with another weapon. A hand grenade typically does just under 2,000 damage to anything within its explosive radius. For example, the Nemesis has roughly 8,000 health during the sections near the start of the game where he’s pursuing you.
