The Baker estate is Resident Evil 7’s main setting, a sprawling abode in the heart of Louisiana bordering on condemned. Most of Resident Evil 7 takes place on the Baker property, with Ethan’s main goal being to save his wife and make it out alive. In typical Resident Evil fashion, however, the game doesn’t end when you finally make it out of the Baker family’s home.
After dealing with Jack one last time at the Boathouse, Ethan finds himself captured by Eveline on a Wrecked Ship. Perspective and control shifts over to his wife, Mia, instead. While swapping characters isn’t new to Resident Evil (or even Resident Evil 7), Mia has an extended role in the Wrecked Ship that has audiences playing as her for a while.
Putting Mia in the spotlight, Resident Evil 7 tasks players with repairing the Wrecked Ship’s elevator to rescue Ethan. Mia’s gameplay is set in a tense environment with even less weapons than Ethan, leading to some of the best survival horror content in Resident Evil 7.
Edited on August 27, 2021 by Renan Fontes: Although Mia controls the same as Ethan, her stretch of gameplay in Resident Evil 7 is specifically designed to make you feel helpless. Mia does not have access to all the weapons you've unlocked so far or even the healing items you may have been hoarding. The Wrecked Ship is a tense setting where reactivating the elevator to find Ethan is easier said than done.
Where Is The Cable For The Elevator In RE7?
The elevator inside the Wrecked Ship is broken when Mia begins her search for Ethan, requiring her to repair it so it's fit for use. The Cable for the elevator can be found on the third floor of the Sick Bay, which you'll pass through on your way to the main hub of the Wrecked Ship.
The Power Cable is attached to a monitor in the corner of the room. Rather than simply examining the item to put it in your inventory, Mia has to uncork both sides of the Cable to grab it. Walk up to the Cable and back away safely to spawn a Fat Molded. You should already have the Machine Gun by now, but it’s safest to take out the Fat Molded with Remote Bombs.
Either place Remote Bombs in the vicinity of the Fat Molded’s path or on their body outright. Make sure to run away before detonating as the blast can damage Mia if she’s too close. Two or three Remote Bomb blasts should take down the Fat Molded, allowing Mia to finally grab the Cable and move on to the Fuse. If you're out of Remote Bombs, just keep your distance and fire away at the Fat Molded's head.
Where Is The Elevator Fuse In RE7?
Mia can now attach the Power Cable to the elevator, but you still can’t power it on without the Fuse. The Fuse was previously seen during Mia’s flashback in the Wrecked Ship. From the broken down elevator, drop to the first floor which has now been fully infected with Mold. Do not bother killing any Molded down here unless you're cornered. It's best to safe ammo for later. The General Purpose Fuse is inside of a power box in the Laundry Room.
There’s a Molded inside the Laundry Room so be careful grabbing the Fuse. Avoid the Molded, grab the Fuse, and leave the Laundry Room. Before heading back to the Elevator, however, it’s worth exploring the rest of the first floor. Use a Corrosive to burn down the lock leading into the Recreation Room to find a Backpack (offering Mia more inventory space), some Remote Bombs, and another Corrosive before moving on.
Repairing The Elevator In RE7
Now that Mia’s obtained the General Purpose Fuse, it’s time to run back to the elevator and finally rescue Ethan. Attach the Fuse to the elevator power box and you'll finally be able to take the elevator down to S2. Doing so will pit you against quite a few Molded, however, so make sure to save and arrange your inventory accordingly.
Make sure Mia has her Machine Gun, the Handgun from the Maintenance Room on the first floor, Remote Bombs, and at least two First Aid Med. Worth keeping in mind is that Ethan actually inherits Mia’s equipment when control swaps back to him, so it’s advisable not to go too gung-ho. You'll need to make your way past two regular Molded, one Quick Molded, and finally a room with a regular Molded and Fat Molded together.
Fighting Your Way To Ethan
With Mia’s inventory prepared, it’s time to kill some Molded and rescue Ethan. From the S2 elevator, head down the hallway to be ambushed by two regular Molded. Save your Remote Bombs for now and either take them out with well timed Headshots with the Handgun or spray them with the Machine Gun. If you're using the Machine Gun, keep your aim steady so you don't pepper too much ammo. Once both Molded are care of, take the door into the Straight Corridor.
A Quick Molded will drop down from the ceiling up ahead and rush towards Mia. Take it out with the Handgun instead of the Machine Gun to conserve as much ammo as possible. Two to three Handgun headshots should be enough to drop them. After the Quick Molded has been killed, enter the Engine Room to confront a Molded up close. Quickly spray it with the Machine Gun.
Moving deeper into the Engine Room will reveal a Fat Molded. Instead of wasting Handgun or Machine Gun ammo, use your Remote Bombs to drop it dead. It helps to plant some bombs on the stairs leading up to the Fat Molded and baiting it down. If you posiiton your bombs correctly, the Fat Molded will die before making it down the stairwell. With all the Molded killed, Mia can push on through the rest of S2 and reunite with Ethan. From here, control will swap back to Ethan for Resident Evil 7's last stretch.
