While we’re not entirely clear on what drives Nemesis’s pursuit, it appears that the bioweapon’s goal is to protect itself by eliminating any obstacles or perceived threats to the project, including Jill.

The Nemesis was meant to be an enemy like no other, forever on your tail, its unpredictability and ferocity forcing players to think differently. So, if Nemesis mutates into an even more imposing beast after taking damage, is that a sign the player’s getting closer?

• Q: Why doesn’t Nemesis follow you everywhere? A: This is because Resident Evil 3: Nemesis employed a " patrolling route" system designed to make encounters varied.
