How to Survive the Alien in R.E.P.O.
The Alien is the kind of enemy that makes you rethink your life choices. It floats around like a smug ghost, barely making a sound, until—boom—you’re suddenly weightless, helplessly flailing in midair like a ragdoll in a zero-gravity disaster simulator.
Option 1: Don’t Get Caught (Easier Said Than Done)
The Mentalist is deaf and has bad eyesight, which means if you just stay still and out of sight, it’ll probably pass right by. Think of it like avoiding your landlord when rent’s due.
If it spots you, it teleports—because of course it does—so never assume you lost it. It’s probably just waiting behind the next door like a horror movie villain with bad timing.
Option 2: If You Get Caught, Panic Productively
The anti-gravity field lasts 10 seconds, which is just long enough for you to reflect on your mistakes.
Once it turns red, you’re coming down—hard. If you’re under a table, a vending machine, or anything heavier than your regrets, you’re probably dead.
If you got lifted really high, good news! You’ll only take 40-50 fall damage instead of instant death. Silver linings.
Best case scenario: Have a teammate nearby to pull you out of harm’s way before the Mentalist turns you into a physics experiment.
Option 3: Smack It Until It Stops Floating
The Mentalist doesn’t have much HP, so if you can get close, just start swinging. Melee weapons work best—guns take too long, and you probably don’t have time to aim while floating like a balloon at a kid’s birthday party.
If you can, take it out before it spots you. Otherwise, it’s going to teleport and make your life a lot harder.
Final Advice
Hiding is the safest play.
If you get caught, hope your teammates like you enough to help.
If you’re alone? Well… maybe start saying your goodbyes.
