Learn how to conquer Mission Level 1 in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. This guide covers essential melee attacks, enemy types, and time-saving strategies for optimal performance.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mastering Melee Attacks: Learn to set up and execute melee attacks by causing enemies to flinch or fall. Different hits trigger different melee moves (Straight, Hook, Kick, Uppercut, Neckbreaker). Melee attacks grant invincibility frames, add 5 seconds to the timer, and can prevent specific enemy spawns.
  2. 2
    Targeting Specific Body Parts: Aim for the head for a Straight, shoulders/arms/hands for a Hook (front) or Kick (rear), legs/knees/feet for an Uppercut (front) or Neckbreaker (rear). The rump also allows for a Neckbreaker.
  3. 3
    Practicing on 1-3: Use the early enemies in Mission 1-3 to practice headshots with the pistol to set up the Straight, leg shots to set up the Uppercut and potential Stomp finisher, and rear attacks for the Neckbreaker.
  4. 4
    Dealing with Las Plagas: Understand that Cephalos (tentacles from head) and Duvalias (clam-like from torso) are parasitic mutations. Cephalos spawn from Town Majini, Base Majini, and Zealots. Duvalias spawn from Base Majini.
  5. 5
    Countering Las Plagas: While Plagas don't prompt melee attacks, they are vulnerable. The most effective counters are flash grenades/rounds, which neutralize them instantly. Explosive grenades are also effective. If no explosives are available, tackle them manually, but be aware of their dangerous overhead smash. Chris's Neckbreaker is also effective against enemies that spawn Plagas.
Tips
  • Prioritize finishing missions quickly with the maximum time remaining on the countdown timer.
  • Melee attacks are crucial for extending the timer and achieving higher scores.
  • Practice headshots with your handgun to reliably set up melee attacks.
  • Learn the different melee animations and their conditions (e.g., rear attacks for Neckbreaker).
  • Be prepared to counter Las Plagas quickly using flashes or explosives.
  • The Neckbreaker is a guaranteed one-hit-kill (OHK) melee attack and is effective against enemies that spawn Plagas.
