I was capable of doing this [lifts that blade arm] before entering the Shimmer. The Shimmer just made it so I can't undo the transformation.

[And okay, sure, the Shimmer's definitely done some other stuff to him; his Resident Evil Boss Transformation wasn't actually this gross initially!! It was still gross, but what do you expect of a Resident Evil boss.]

I can't guarantee that I'll be just fine leaving the Shimmer. I might not be. But if you want my advice - kill the Shimmer quickly. I don't know how long I've been in here, but you all should be able to find the source and get the hell out before it gets as bad as it did for us.

[Though admittedly Wesker was a bit of a... unique case...........]
