yeah sometimes I think about how Ethan squeezed Rose against his chest, when he picked her up in the end, and I lose all my coolÂ
like sometimes I think, yeah, you know, maybe Chris and his team wouldâve made it, if Ethan hadnât come back, they wouldâve managed to kill Miranda and save Rose.
but they wouldnât hold Rose like that. They would just pick her up and go. Ethan held her close, comforted her, rocked her in his arms. and this just fucking ruins me, like itâs such a small thing that you can even barely see in first person pov and yet it wrecks me completely.
like... how much she meant to him. what he went through to save her. how relieved he was to see she was alright, that she was back, that she was free. and yet she was scared, crying, and Ethan had the instinct to go to her and comfort her, and at the same time reassure himself; feel her close to him, realize fully that sheâs there and sheâs okay.

current mood is crying over the fact that Ethan was almost unconscious at the end, having fallen on his knees, head hanging low, he didnât even register Chris shaking him at first, AND YET HIS ARM HOLDING ROSE STAYED UP
like even though he was barely even staying alive HE WAS STILL MAKING SURE SHE WAS SAFE. He was literally falling to pieces but all his instincts were focused on protecting his baby daughter, up to the end.
So you've heard about Resident Evil Village. About Tall Vampire Lady or Daddy Magneto... but here you are wondering about Ethan Winters of all people.
Don't worry, we've all been there. Wondering why in a cast full of interesting characters, we chose to simp for the character equivalent of plain white bread. We're in this together. Don't worry.
So you wanna know more about him. But you're not into horror. You're afraid of jumpscares, you don't like looking at disgusting stuff, you get uncomfortably tense when you don't know what to expect...
So here I am to give you a guide. Iâll be providing a video link of a complete gameplay of the game, that skips most of the wandering around in the game and focuses on cutscenes and gameplay that helps you connect the cutscenes together, making the video three and a half hours long instead of eight hours long. At the same time, I'll be providing timestamps for jumpscares and tense scenes.
I already did this for a friend, and I'm getting the sense that I have more followers intrigued by it but don't know what to watch and how to start. So here I am to offer you help and drag you in ;)
It goes without saying that, as this is a complete watch guide, spoilers (both for Resident Evil 8 and Resident Evil 7) will follow.
A quick intro; re8 (aka RE Village) is a direct sequel to re7. Ethan Winters is the protagonist in both games, there's a slight development from one game to the other, and events in re8 are kind of direct consequence of what happened in re7. Luckily, the game developers took into consideration that some may not remember or have not played re7, so they made a video recap of what happened in re7. A re7 gameplay lasts from 3.5 to 5 hours, depending on the way of playing, in case you're interested in that. But if youâre okay with the 2-minute-long recap (it's pretty good in summarizing what you need to know about it) it's here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULSVsSZ03z0
Thereâs still more to the story of re7, but most of the stuff you need to connect with re8 and figure out whatâs going on will be explained there.
Now, as of the timestamps that Iâm providing; I suggest reading the first four bullet points, start watching up to the last timestamp mentioned there, then read the next bullet point and watch up to its timestamp, and keep going like that. Donât skip bullet points if you donât wanna be spoiled!
The video includes the boss and mini boss fights in full. None of them take too long, so I would recommend watching them in full as the Bosses have some lines during the fights and listening to those gives a more spherical view of them.

The first 12 minutes are generally calm.
Some intense stuff start at about 8 minute mark, but no direct horror.
After the 12 minute mark, it starts getting a little creepy in the environment.
Jumpscare at 13:47 and 16:18
Intense stuff start at 19:00, with some jumpscares, some gore, and some fighting up to 24:00.
Intense stuff at around 33:00, though it's more shocking than scary.
Pretty scary show at 41:20. Like some creepy and disgusting stuff.
A bit intense stuff right after, up to 45:40.
Some gory stuff start at 47:00. At first it might not seem much, but it gets more later. And then even more. That lasts mostly up to 50:00.
Some zombies at 52:00, then mini boss fight.
The scene at 57:25 has some gore and blood, though it's... interesting, and has become a huge meme in the fandom... and elsewhere.
Mini boss fight at 59:59.
Boss fight with creepy, freaky monster from 01:04:00. The end starts at about 1:10:15, and I suggest at least listening to the ending lines.
Some disturbing news at the cutscene in 1:13:34.
At 1:19:00 starts THE most creepy part of the story. It has scary vibes from early on, and almost the entire thing will have you on edge (and you can hear Ethan's breathing and that makes it even more tense) and it's got creepy dolls and stuff, so be prepared for those in case they scare you.
Not exactly a jumpscare, but creepy at 1:21:08 as lights go out.
At 1:26:18 a door opens by itself (nothing is hiding or jumping at you), and an object falls at 1:28:47.
1:30:17 is creepy, but no jumpscare there, aside from an object falling down at the end.
Sudden phone ring at 1:31:31
Figure passing from far away at 1:32:20, then an object falling.
Walking through a dark corridor at 1:33:27. Nothing jumps at you, but it's a creepy place regardless.
At 1:34:03... prepare yourselves. I fully suggest lowering the volume (if anything because it's got disturbing and distorted sounds) and either watch with caution, or don't look at the video, or even directly skip through to 1:40:25 if it's too scary for you. The lights go out, you only have a flashlight, and THE creepiest monster in the entire game appears in front of you at 1:35:15.
From 1:36:57 it gets a bit calmer. The lights go a little brighter, the monster doesn't appear,
but that only lasts until 1:37:31, where the lights go out again, and the monster reappears at 1:38:02. From that point up to 1:39:24 there are disturbing sounds all around, so you can mute or skip those. Again monster reappears from 1:39:58 to 1:40:25.
It's still a little creepy after that, with creepy dolls and creepy laughs, but at least it's got more lights on.
At 1:40:56 a human person appears suddenly, and then creepy dolls start hunting and attacking Ethan. Music gets creepy, creepy laughs are heard, etc. It's an intense game of hide and go seek.
Blood at 1:42:10, 1:43:02,
big jumpscare and slightly gory attack at 1:44:15.
At 1:44:50 there's again blood and some disturbing gore, but then FINALLY that part's over.
And then comes the most disgusting part.
At 1:46:10 jumpscare and gory attack from big monster.
From 1:47:17 and the entire section there's like, disgusting blobs of some acid-like nature, the Boss is quite disturbing (body horror, distorted voice, and he throws up a LOT, starting with 1:47:39)
Jumpscare at 1:49:35.
Less scary jumpscare at 1:49:54. A little scarier at 1:50:56.
Body horror and a shit ton of vomiting at 1:51:20. The next sequence is all running around, with the Boss trying to attack (it's in the general area so it's not "scary" when he comes closer, more like sudden) and the ground shakes all the time.
Yucky stuff at 1:54:56
Monster appearing a little too close at 1:56:25
At 1:59:31 small jumpscare
2:00:20 the monster walking in front of you but not at you.
2:01:20 the Boss fight starts, and it's all yucky and stuff. Personally my least favourite part of the game, I mean at least the doll house has some kind of... aesthetic to it, idk lol. To each their own, though. Unless you are into that stuff or are investing in it, I personally recommend skipping to right after the end of the fight, at 2:06:35.
If not skipping, there's a shit ton of vomitting at 2:02:48, at 2:04:40, and at 2:05:20, though I MIGHT have missed a bit there.
The Boss dies in a quite disgusting way, starting from 2:06:15. I personally always skip his dying cutscene, both when I play the game or watch gameplays. From 2:06:35 it's safe, and accompanied by Ethan's cringey but also very relatable reaction quip.
Boss fight at 2:07:56. It's a bit scary and intense but nothing of note happens (as for horror), it ends at 2:11:00, where once again Ethan inspires with his quips. (You can fast forward through this fight as this particular boss doesnât speak)
After 2:19:40 on the video skips to the most important moments of that part of the game. In general, in that part Ethan is trapped inside a huge building and is trying to escape, with some "modified" zombies hunting him. A full gameplay wonât really provide anything more, related to the story or the characters (aside from some notes you can read), so you're not missing much. [Though, as Iâm checking right now, I realized the editor skipped some dialogue from Heisenberg. Though that can be summed to Heisenberg saying âMiranda is horrible blah blahâ and Ethan going like âDude I donât give a shitâ]
Mini boss fight at 2:22:30. The creature may be a little disturbing. Ethan gets hit at 2:24:22, at 2:25:10 and at 2:25:45, but nothing to note aside from those.
It ends at 2:27:03, once again with another brilliant one-liner from Ethan. God I love him.
Boss fight from 2:33:50. It's got a pretty interesting end at 2:37:55.
After that, there's not really anything more creepy or any jumpscare you need to worry about, aside from, you know, lycans and blood, stuff you've already seen through the video already.
Boss fight at 2:50:00, again with a boss without any dialogue.
Boss fight ends at 2:52:40, and honestly I suggest watching the entire thing from then on.
Watch the credits up to 3:21:36, and the post credits scene that starts at 3:27:30.
And thatâs it! You now know the full story! Hope you come back to me to rant about Mold Man Ethan Winters, Dad of the Century!

Screenshots taken with the use of Ethan Winters Restored MOD and Enhanced Model Viewer MOD. There are. SO MANY fucking details, for a face that the game developers themselves hid from us!! Like the small stubble. The small freckle on the right side of his neck. THE FRECKLE UNDER HIS EYE. THAT THEY GAVE ROSE AS WELL.
Look at the detail in those hands!
Like okay, admittedly, we do see his hands more than any other part of his body. But look around the nails! How they added that little... idk how you call it, like look at the left side of his index finger, that little white skin next to the fingernail... how do you call that? Itâs not exactly a hangnail, but like... itâs so much little detail thatâs not necessary for the game but it makes the game feel even more realistic. Also I am amazed at how the nail on his index looks like itâs flatter than the other nails, and downright stunned because thatâs exactly the same with my own fingers, like, all my other fingers have nails that are... ânormally curvedâ but my index fingers have nails that are flatter and like they droop down a little at the edge, and now I wonder if thatâs common or if itâs such an unlikely coincidence.
Also a close-up of his eye because why not.
I couldnât really get any closer, cause I was taken right inside his head, lol. It looks like theyâre hazel in the center, fading into a greyish green around the edges.
hello! could you please tell me wtf that noise he makes is called at 13:46?? youtube. c o m / watch ? v = pWE8rzGPuKU some special mentions: 38:28 to 38:42 ; Ethan nomming 1:09 ( ͥ° ÍĘ ÍĄÂ°) capcom we didn't need the swallowing sounds but you know what thank u anyways (idc if they are stock sounds, they are on this vid, therefore he made them); when he gets pinned/mauled by the varcolac from 1:17 to 1:46 ( ͥ° ÍĘ ÍĄÂ°); 17:28 to 17:50 (context: tearing his hands from the hooks) also special mention to the comment section, man so many timestamps holy sh- <3 would mention more but I get distracted by his heavy breathing and adorable Rose-talk
Putting the link of the legendary video for any fellow Ethan Whimpers simps out there to follow with:
Now, the sound at 13:46, it sounds like an audible exhale, like the opposite of an audible gasp, made in effort and pain as he's standing up while his entire body is suffering. I wouldn't call it a whimper (it's too strong, whimpers are usually low and small and cute), nor a moan either (moans are a bit more forceful, while this just comes out with his breathing). Technically it's not a gasp (his inhales are clear air, his exhales are noisy), but I think I'd just call it "audible gasp". I don't know really, if someone could enlighten me đ
Dude, I've gone to the 38:28 timestamp so many times I knew what moment it was before I even checked it. I remember freaking the fuck out when I first watched that moment in a gameplay, was like "Okay this is too much for me"... and now I'm here simping for Ethan's screams as he has hooks impaled into his hands. That shaky "wh-what are you- what are you doing?" *clutches chest* Todd Soley has done the lord's work but I hope he never reads that comments section O_O
Speaking of, that video has one of my favourite comments section of all time. I find myself visiting that video sometimes just to see the new comments added by fellow Ethan simps.
That ASMR of Ethan eating, though. I find it hilarious, like... the CRONCH at the beginning, like he's eating some chips or whatthefuck instead of meat and fish. Like idk did the Duke deep fry the meat so much that the crust is hard enough to crunch? And we get the full experience, eating with his mouth open (I understand you're on a mission to save your daughter and actively being attacked by monsters, but manners, Ethan) and a full-on hearty swallowing sound. Like how did they even make that sound. Did they have a microphone directly on Todd's throat. Was that even Todd. I have questions.
Oh, that varcolac attack!! He not only sounds scared and in pain, he also sounds so fucking helpless. He's just pinned on the ground and all he can do is scream (and like!! you know we make sounds when we're in pain as a cry for help, because we're in too much pain to actually say "I'm in pain, please help me" so moans and screams come out instead, and like!! there was no-one around to help Ethan (aside from the Duke which if I'm correct was pretty close to that attack and it's kinda hilarious how he probably heard Ethan screaming his heart out but just sat back like ''He'll survive, he's a tough one'') and he just screams so helplessly and so beautifully <3 And it's such a long attack. It took its time attacking Ethan, the directors took their time having Todd scream and moan in front of the microphone, and we take our time enjoying it. Even that fucker being such an inconvenience to kill (considering you have to save up ammo for Moreau's fight later) doesn't change how outright enjoyable that moment is.
And oh my Goooooooooood that other timestamp!! 17:44 absolutely fave tiny whimper!! Like Ethan's pain sounds are the shit because they feel like, so uncontrollable and deep and raw and real. He's just a guy, terrified out of his shit, being attacked by monsters so out of his league, and he's only armed with a couple of simple guns and determination. Aw, Ethan T_T
And in general, I just... you know, I love how in his first dialogues, his voice sounds so calm, and low, and soft. Well, at least until "Mia" gets shot. You don't hear him like that in the rest of the game, he's always tense, or angry, or scared. Especially in the Miranda fight, he's just done with everything, and he's exhausted and in pain and his voice comes out so strained and angry... homeboy spent the entire day like that, inside a nightmare, without a moment of rest. And all he wanted was a calm, normal life ;_;
But anyways enough feels. I've made an entire Audacity file with timestamps, and here are some of my favourite ones:
3:23 I don't know when that happens, though the "What the hell is this", he says it when he starts hallucinating Mia outside the Beneviento house, so idk maybe it was meant to be said at some point there. In any case it's said with so much terror and pain... ugh!
15:35 WHERE IS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT??? ADSGFADHFDGFFDF
18:22 again, I have no idea when that's supposed to happen. But the way his voice shakes... mmm yes.
22:28 poor Ethan T_T
22:40 absolutely fucking fave. Homeboy's tryna be tough and victorious and I'm here laughing my ass out with his stupid quips.
29:22 idk if it is because we don't hear that in the game, but... idk, I like how he says that.
30:28 oooohhh my boi. He just sounds so tired, I want to wrap him in a blanket...
37:14 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh T_T
(I've got way more but I haven't checked the entire file, I mean it is 45 minutes long, lol)
Hey yâall donât mind me just sharing one of the playthroughs out there thatâs reaching the top of my fave playthroughs of re8. The creator has less than 200 subscribers and thatâs a crime that we need to fix, please watch this and the next parts and enjoy
