[MIMESIS Complete Strategy Guide]A thorough explanation of the characteristics, weaknesses, and defeating methods of all 11 monsters! An iron-clad manual that even beginners can safely clear

MIMESIS is a up to 4-player cooperative survival horror game developed by KRAFTON and ReLU Games. Players take on the role of a character wearing a bird beak mask and explore stages such as a contaminated factory where cursed rain falls. The objective is to collect scraps and other supplies to repair the tram and escape safely.

The biggest threat in this game is Mimesis, an AI that perfectly imitates the player's appearance, actions, tone of voice, and way of speaking, but in addition to that, various monsters hiding within the stages attack the player. Monsters have unpredictable attack patterns, and many can die instantly with a single blow. A common mistake that beginner players make is approaching the monster carelessly without understanding its characteristics.

In this article, we have summarized the details of all 11 monsters. We will comprehensively explain HP conversion, weaknesses, specific defeat procedures, and evasion techniques based on Kuma-chan Bat. This will help your team safely retrieve supplies and successfully complete tram repairs.

Basic knowledge of Mimesis Strategy: How to use weapons and items

The key to defeating monsters is choosing the right weapon and teamwork. With an initial investment of $100, we will prioritize the purchase of handheld tubes to ensure visibility. The main weapons are as follows.

Kuma-chan Bat (Teddy Bear Bat)

• Features: Highly durable and can be used up to 50 times or more. Stuns enemies for a short time on hit.
• Recommended points: Effective against all monsters and is a must-have item for beginners. This is the standard weapon for HP conversion.
• Obtain: Pick up in the maintenance area or stage.

Shotgun (hail gun)

• Features: Highly powerful and long-distance attacks are possible. Ideal for heavy duty opponents such as sheep and rabbits.
• Note: There is a limit on the number of bullets. Share your cooldown time with your allies.

Other items

• scrap: The main purpose is to collect supplies, but it can also be thrown to destroy squirrels.
• Hand electric tube: It can be charged on the train or on the train. Essential for searching for enemies in the dark.
• stained sphere: Throw it at the enemy to mark it. Share your location with your team.

General Tips: The four of us will act together to avoid division. When it rains, the chance of Mimesis appearing increases, so prioritize evacuation indoors. If you die, you can participate in VC in spectator mode, but if you don't have enough funds to repair the tram, the game will be over.
