Resident Evil 4/Mercenaries

The Mercenaries is a mini game that is unlockable after you complete the game once. You have to kill as many enemies as possible int he time limit. I really enjoyed playing this mode as it is very exciting and very fun.

Rules
Mercenaries is quite simple, kill as many enemies in the time limit. You can collect more time and special bonuses that give you 30 seconds to kill the enemies, you get more points for each kill, throughout the map. If you die you do not get any points. Each map has different enemies and each level has a different sub boss.

Maps
There are four maps to choose from when playing Mercenaries, there is a description, the time locations the bonus locations and enemies for each level. I will add tactics for each level at another time, or anyone can add them, that is what Strategy Wiki for, isnt it?

The Village
The villiage is the evil place where the villagers hang out. They live there doing farming tasks, however when you arrive, they turn nasty and stop harvesting thier crops, they want to harvest your body!!!!! This is the village at the start of the game and you should remember it easily. It is very easy to navigate however there are a few dead ends where could get trapped.

Time Locations

 * 1) 30 secs - Take the trail to the left of the enrance to the village.
 * 2) 90 secs - The barn with the two big doors.
 * 3) 90 secs - Behind the tower (dont get trapped there because it is a dead end).
 * 4) 90 secs - The house with two rooms, in the main game you have to shoot a lock to get into the second room.  Or jump through the window of the house to get straight into the second room.
 * 5) 30 secs - The barn opposite the window of the house that contains time extension 4

Bonus Locations
Bonuses are in treasur chests.
 * 1) Second level of the barn where time extension 2 is.
 * 2) Second room of house where time extension 4 is.
 * 3) Behind the barn with two levels, turn right.

Enemies
There are two types of eneimes here, normal villagers from the first few chapters of game and the Bella Sisters


 * Villagers - are easy to kill, however dont waste ammo, shoot them in the head for beast results


 * The Bella Sisters - are chainsaw wielding maniacs who have bandages around thier heads. Use a powerful weapon to blast tem away and what ever you do dont let them get too close.  One swipe of that chainsaw and you are dead meat.

Castle
This is the castle where you and ashley go to hide when you cross the bridge in the main game. This level is very complex and needs to learnt if you are to be successful. There are a number of levels to this and this makes it hard to navigate.

Time Locations

Enemies
The enemies in this level are stronger than the ones in the village. They can take a bit more damage before getting killed.


 * Los Ganados - are the enemie in the robes. It is essential you go for the head shot, however, if you get a group of them together, shoot them in the legs so all of them fall over, then throw a grenade in the middle. BOOM!!


 * Garrador - this is the big man beast with no eyes, remember him? Of course you do, he was the one who caused you a lot of trouble in the main game, and nothing has changed here. If you shoot the Ganados he will hear and come running for you, this is a real pain.  Stand by a wall and shoot, he will run, get out the way and he will get stuck in the wall, this is you chance to damage him.  Get you most powerful gun out and blast away.

Army Base
This map is based on the island, there are a lot of platforms which can be climbed up to via ladders. This can give you an advantage for sniping but be aware of the enemies coming up to get you. This level is very big so it is easy to get lost.

Time Locations
The time locations on this map are easy to see, they are all 30 sec time extensions and are not difficult to get so I do not need to go into detail about where they are because the are easy to see.

Bonus Locations
[More Coming Soon]
 * 1) - On the very top platform, sometimes you start on it.

Enemies
The enemies in this map are the strongest out of the other maps, the require quite a lot of fire power to kill so as always aim for the head. Conserve ammo as if you run out, your screwed.


 * 1) Soldiers - carry a variety of weapons in cluding dynamite, stun sticks, and other evil contraptions. Aim for thier head as this is most effective.


 * 1) J.J. - dont ask me why he is called J.J., he just is, dont get in his way though, he has a massive machine gun that takes most of your life away.  The best way to kill him is to hide and when he stops shooting run out and give him a few shots, aim for head again as it will kill him quicker.  Or, if there is no where to hide, you can only hope you get a head shot with a powerful weapon as this is the only way to stop him when he is firing at you.

Water World
This map is not in the main game, there are a number of levels that can be reached using ladders. There are also some houses you can go in. There is also a cool zip wire thing that can get you out of trouble.

Time Locations
As with the Island Commando (Army Base), they are easy to see and easy to get so I do not need to go into detail.

Bonus Locations
[Coming Soon]

Enemies

 * 1) Soldiers - see above on Army Base

WARNING: There is a 30/70 chance that you may have to fight two of them while playing the Waterworld map.
 * 1) Dr. Salvador Senior - No thats not his real name, he is only a much bigger version of Dr Salvador, that bloke with a bag over his head and holding the chainsaw. This version of him has a dual bladed chainsaw (and has just bunt another hole in the O-Zone layer with the amount of smoke coming out of it!)  He is near immpossible to kill with regular weapons.  There is no point running from him up ladders because he can just jump up there.  Be warned, he is evil.

While using Ada, and you come in contact with Dr. Salvador Senior, equip either incendiary grenades, or the sniper rifle. But, its all about timing if you decide to use the sniper rifle. He tends to move very fast and recklessly, so get about 2 headshots OR 4 body shots, and he will go down.

While using Krauser, it is probably the easiest if you throw a flash grenade at Dr. Salvador Senior, then unload on him with the arrows. If you can, try to get both "Salvador Sr." in the same place and then use Krauser's special arm attack. The attack has enough power to kill them both in one shot with ease!

While using Wesker, its once again about timing. There are a number of ways to take care of him, but the simplest is the Killer7 magnum. Save this handgun only for this guy because you can only encounter him twice at the most. After that, do what you have to in order to survive.

While using HUNK, you will only have two choices, and normally, you will need to alternate between them. Throw a hand grenade the moment he comes within ten feet of you, then while he is stunned, drill through him using the TMP. Repeat until he is dead.

While using Leon, he has the toughest way to kill him. You must climb to the highest platform once you hear the sound of the chainsaw, and back yourself into a corner. Wait for Dr Salvador Senior to get onto the platform as well, and unload your Riot Gun into his head. Be careful though, if he gets too close, you may not survive.
