How to lure the creature away from the subway station
This is a section where you must sprint away from Nemesis. Straight ahead on the corner is a First Aid Spray - you should be able to grab it before he attacks. Run round the corners and up the stairs, past the sparking generator, and turn around and shoot it when Nemesis passes to buy you some time.
This next box and shelving-filled room is a little loop with a yellow air vent at the base of the wall on the other side.
Interact with it three times, and a cutscene will play where Jill escapes. Problem is, each interaction takes a few seconds - enough time for Nemesis to attack.
Provided you have struck the generator, you should have enough time to hit it once without issue. Nemesis will then appear, so run a loop around the room, luring him away from the vent, and when he's at a distance, sprint back and knock the vent again. Do this a third time and you should escape.
Our full Resident Evil 3 walkthrough explains every aspect's of Jill's, including the Shotgun location, Bolt cutters and Lockpick locations, how to reset the Circuit Breakers to restore power in the Substation, find the Drugstore safe code solution and Aqua Cure clue, Police Station Safe, Locker codes, Hospital safe code and courtyard box for the Magnum explained.
Remember you can use the Quick Step (R1 or RB) to side step his swings - at this close distance, his attacks should be easily telegraphed - allowing you to dodge then flee to give you enough time to interact with the vent.
After this, run through the door at the end, followed by a scene where Jill will radio Carlos.
