Mr X is super annoying

[DavidHasselhoff]

Is there a mod to keep this guy out of my way? I love the game and i loved to fight him during my first run but now on run 2 he is coming up so early in the game which is super annoying cause now he is following me constantly

Don't run and don't shoot, if he spots you then just run through a few doors and he will struggle to keep up. Before you do that though, kill all of the lickers with knives (they are very easy to stunlock). If you follow these steps then it becomes very easy.

thanks mate apreciate it. one more thing, will he be there more often in the 2nd run?

[Kiridaan]

It's more or less the same in the RPD apart from the fact that he appears way earlier. But you can go back there later and he will be gone (in case you wanted to pick up some more stuff like the hidden treasures). There is also a few parts where he no longer shows up such as the lab.

I don’t get it. It’s your first playthrough of the second run? Why would you want to cheat? That’s the game you signed up for. You wouldn’t be able to say you truly beat it if you used a mod.

Remember: in the 2nd Run, the moment you use the Red Valve to get to the STARS office is when Mr. X is unlocked.

You can scoop up everything else right up until that moment. That means, when you use the valve, make sure to have the C4 in your inventory.

In the STARS office, there's a flashbang. Mix the battery with the C4, flashbang Mr.X and run to the library and up in the attic to quickly use the bomb. Using the bomb will block the library, so X will have to take a huge detour to reach you. After a lil minute, unlock the way back to library and go use the final medallion.

no need for you to get it. Its my second playtrough and i was just surprised that he appeared that early (cause i entered the stars office prob too early) and to me it is annoying that he shows up that early.

Has nothing to do if its the game ive signed up for.

Without spoiling... if your second run is Claire he won't be as much of an issue. Also, you absolutely can run as you are significantly faster than him. Once you put a couple of rooms between you and him he will lose your trail and wonder off. The main thing is to have an idea of where other enemies are, and don't accidentally run into them while trying to avoid X.

thanks mate. exactly. ive never played second run either with leon nor claire. So ive got no clue where to go and where the enemies are. And as i mentioned, its not an issue that he is in that game, i was just super surprised that he appeared that early.

i mean out of anything the enemies are exactly the problem with mr x. hes obviously meant appear and work like that as an suprise factor however this leads into a problem of you arent meant to kill everything using ammo sparingly. meaning apart from a few areas you wont kill them off

but this means you arent dealing with zombies that would be problimatic later because you think even on backtrack you can just ignore them but mr x shifts this prospective a bit

this became a problem for me on my first hard run (think i went claire first at that) due to the fact that the library has 3 zombies in there and i had to do everything in that room (remoe the jack and push all the shelves) and ofcourse shooting attracks mr x and on hard hes always lurcking near by this caused me a lot of annoying deaths (being on hard and all) guess im part for blame knowing full well mr x existed however the difference between his tracking between normal and hard is insane

[EliteEndermanzz]

He just wants to give it to ya, jokes aside learn to dodge him, it makes him significantly less annoying when you can just dodge around him

Mr X is the one thing I don't like about this game. If you follow a guide then you'll only have to deal with him for a couple of minutes and you can speedrun the section where he's in the game; if you do that he's not a huge problem. I can't imagine trying to play the game while he's actively hunting you, though.

[Humpenstilzchen]

You can run to loose him if he is chasing you but once you feel like you have shaked him off walk again because running, slamming doors open and shooting will reveal your location to him and he will go into your direction again.

If you have something to do like the library for example it is worth it to lead him to the opposite side of the building first and cycle back on another route and quietly walk to the library and you´ll have enough time to move the bookshelves around because he doesn´t know where you are.

As mentioned before get rid of lickers before he appears, they are easily cheesed by going to their side and knfing them.

I agree.

Any idea why they put him in the game?

Well he does add tension, I think whether you like him in the game depends on what you enjoy about survival horror games. I tend to play as a 'clear' player in survival horror so I like to kill everything to make it safe and then explore and search the cleared areas thoroughly. I almost never use any healing items at all as I don't take risks and I eliminate enemies before they become a risk, but I use a ton of ammo. However I know there are a lot of people who play by running through areas to get through them quickly and don't fight many enemies. Mister X seems much more geared towards those players who play the game with constant tension normally by running through places quickly.

Personally I hate invincible enemies that chase you in survival horror games because I can't clear them, and so I never feel safe to explore or search areas. I'm not going to spend time exploring if I feel like I have a time limit. If I have an invincible enemy chasing me I don't feel like I'm really playing the game or enjoying it until that part is over and I can go back to what I enjoy about the game.
