LOL at "i wish we could get berserker excited about this!" xD lol.

yeah luna that is funny lol , and i am kinda serious 2 !

[LuNaTiiC]

i know. i wanna find out myself. i'm just that curious lol.

[Berserker]

I really haven't sat down to try it, but I really think the dash can hit different portions of a Majini's body like Lunatiic said.  Just about every melee can take off different damage amounts because they hit a different portion of a Majini's body at times.

If you play Safari Chris on Village and shoot a shield Majini in the leg then uppercut it, the uppercut will sometimes kill one but not always.  It's as if his uppercut is sometimes hitting the legs and sometimes not.

Safari Chris is full of that type of stuff since his handgun and melees basically total up to a normal Majini's health most of the time.  With Wesker, the dash might hit a Majini differently depending on what the Majini is currently doing.  Like if it's dashing toward you, Wesker might hit the head or body first.

That's just a quick answer though.  I'm working more with Reunion at the moment.  Not that I'm done with normal Mercs just yet though. =P

lol. whatever the case, melees aren't easy to calculate.

i'm still stuck on stupid with excella's high heel <<"

I need to add more to the Combo Bonus section later.  What's up now is a quick copy and paste job. =P

so i was reading someone else's guide on gamefaqs, and he suggested that the giant man majini has a resistance to certain weapons.

he writes: shotguns and rifles have a -70% weapon damage modifier, magnums have a -20% modifier, and every other weapon have a -50% modifier. is this true?

in that case, it would mean that the giant man majini would have:

M500: 4,300 * .8 = 3440
P8: 4 * 300 * .5 = 600

about 4000 health...

btw, if the giant man majini had 5000, wouldn't 3 P8 shots be enough, not 4? 4300 + 900 = 5200.

just something to check (:

[Berserker]

Thanks.  Yeah, that sounds pretty much right.  I'll have to change that later.

Here's an example of the spawning region maps that I'm labeling.  This is for AR:



^ This can be used for both Mercs and Mercs Reunion.  The Kipepeo spawns cause the kill count to go over 150 in Reunion.

I tried to be as precise as I could with this one unlike my last map.  This is based on my character walking throughout a map and killing enemies before stepping into a new area to get enemies to spawn.  The area in red that holds the 60 second timer on the bottom floor (east side) is actually in that red area!  You can actually stand there and make enemies spawn from the east region.

The portion separating the yellow and the green isn't really exact enough, but... meh, I don't want to redo it.  I'll probably go back through and label each region as Region A, B, C, B, etc.

The enemy total per area is based on what the official guide has.  That should really be right.  You have to take into account the torch Majini, bosses and 12 enemies already in the stage also.  That should be 150 enemies total.

If you compare mine to the official guide, you'll see some slight changes:



Missile Area will be the most interesting.  The guide is very off on their labeling there so far.

yes
differents boss has different modification according to different weapons.

the gun man got less damage
we can check this information in the japanese game book

SPAWNING REGIONS

These are all done myself for the most part.  I basically kill off all enemies in an area then inch forward until Majini start to spawn in order to determine the boundaries.  Enemy totals are based on the official guide's numbers, but I did go through and check them for myself to at least get close to their numbers.

The region boundaries are as precise as I can make them.  They should be very exact.  Both Mercenaries and Mercenaries Reunion share the same boundaries for enemy spawning per stage.

Public Assembly



Region A

- Town Majini x60

Region B

- Town Majini x75

Other Enemies

- Executioner 1 (spawns from southwest fence at 20 kills)
- Executioner 2 (spawns from east fence behind execution platform [left side while facing it] at 50 kills)
- Executioner 3 (spawns from northwest fence at 70 kills)

- Starting Majini x11 (Majini that begin in the stage, including the Agitator)
- 1 chicken (starts at east end of the waterway)

60 + 75 + 3 + 11 + 1 = 150
Enemy total = 150

Extra Notes on Regions

- Region A starts in the far north portion of the area and ends at the same portion where the southwest ramp on the hill slopes downward.

- Region B begins just a few steps past where the main gate used to be in story mode - the gate that is blown open by Kirk.  This regions extends all the way to the far south and includes the rest of the map.

- One camper Majini usually spawns along the west side while a player is in Region B.  He will appear sometimes after the 10th kill in that region.

- Three camper Majini will appear in the northwest sometimes after the 10th kill while a player is in Region B.



The Mines



Region A

- Town Majini x73
- Big Man Majini x2

Region B

- Town Majini x57
- Big Man Majini x3

Other Enemies

- Reaper 1 (spawns from southwest high platform in the back of the bottom tunnel at 30 kills)
- Reaper 2 (spawns from high platform on the east side in the middle portion of the bottom tunnel at 70 kills)
- Reaper 3 (spawns from northeast high platform (VERY high) in the north open area at 90 kills)

- Starting Majini x9 (Majini that begin in the stage)
- 1 Big Man Majini (starts in upper tunnel)
- 2 chickens (one in upper tunnel, one in 30 second dead end tunnel in bottom area)

73 + 2 + 57 + 3 + 3 + 9 + 1 + 2 = 150
Enemy total = 150

Extra Notes on Regions

- Region A starts in the far north portion of the area and extends downward all the way until the south end of the middle tunnel.

- Region B starts just to the north of the west middle high ledge spawn in the middle tunnel then continue to the far south and takes up all the of the south area.

- Campers (all from region B)

  - One Big Man Majini in the southwest portion of the bottom tunnel
  - One dynamite Majini in the southwest portion of the bottom tunnel
  - One Majini in the middle portion of the bottom tunnel near the 60 seconds (arrives late in the kill streak)
  - One Majini in the middle tunnel near where the third Reaper spawns.



Village



Region A

- Wetland Majini x50
- Bui Kichwa x10

Region B

- Wetland Majini x64
- Bui Kichwa x 16

Other Enemies

- Giant Majini 1 (spawns from high wall in the east portion of the map (by the two 30 second timers) at 20 kills)
- Giant Majini 2 (spawns from the front gate of the Village in the southeast at 40 kills)
- Giant Majini 3 (spawns from the high wall across from the combo chest on the hill in the east at 60 kills)
- Giant Majini 4 (70 kills)

- Starting Majini x11 (Majini that begin in the stage; the one that guards the fenced area is a scripted Cephalo)
- 1 chicken (starts in the bottom area surrounded by a fence with the combo bonus)
- 0-6 random Kipepeo spawns (can be canceled)

50 + 10 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 11 + 1 + 6 = 162
Enemy total = 150+

Extra Notes on Regions

- Region A starts in the far north portion of the area and extends all the way to the beginning portion of the bottom bridge.

- Region B starts on the north side of the bridge and continues all the way to the south.

- If a player stands in the very back portion of the top dead end tunnel, the player is actually in between Region B and A while standing there.

- Wetland Majini that begin in the stage have slightly more health than Wetland Majini that spawn later.  Their health is about 1000 HP.

very nice job, Berserker !! These spawns tips of yours have gold-value !! :D I`m very very interesting about spawn points information, since this issue has a lot of importance in do very good runs in Mercs.

[Jaz_B]

kev thanks for that. also, is there a set number of guys that can come out of each individual spawning place. for example, where the 2nd exe comes from. is it possible to ''clear that spawning place'' out so we can focus on other places to kill

[advoc8r]

Berserker working 2 perfection AGAIN  !  thanks Berserker!
