REPO, the 6-player co-op horror game by Semiwork Studios, features a wide variety of monsters. These monsters range from low to high levels of threats based on their attack patterns and behavior. Players need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each monster to successfully retrieve valuable items and survive. Mentalist, also known as the Alien, is a unique monster in REPO, which can be a major threat not only to players but also their valuables.

The Alien creates a zero-gravity field and lifts up every item including players within its radius. That’s not the end, after a few seconds, it slams everything into the ground with immense force, dealing a devastating impact. Let’s take a look at how to escape and kill the Alien in REPO to counter the monster effectively.

How to Escape the Alien (Mentalist) in REPO

The Alien often appears in Swiftbroom Academy, Headman Manor. It has immense Telekinetic ability, allowing it to create an anti-gravitational field around it. This field lifts everything within a two-meter radius for 10 seconds. When the field turns red, the Alien slams everything into the ground. If caught, you cannot move or equip items. 

The Alien reduces 50 HP in a single attack. Since it cannot completely deplete your HP in a single attack, use this opportunity to get some distance before it catches you again, which can kill you unless you have upgraded your health. Playing in a co-op provides an advantage, as the teammates can pull you out of the anti-gravity field or attack the Alien to interrupt its ability. 

The Mentalist has a bad sight and hearing sense, which makes it easy to sneak past or hide under furniture. As the monster relies on closing the distance to execute its levitating attack, always try to keep a gap between yourself and the monster.

How to Kill the Alien (Mentalist) in REPO

If caught in its field, the Alien crashes everything into the floor, reducing your item’s value or even destroying it completely. Fortunately, you have several ways to defeat the Alien. Since the monster has a low health pool and slow mobility, you can use this to your advantage. 

As obvious, you can simply eliminate it using a gun with just two shots. If you don’t have a gun, you can opt for Traq Guns, or Stun Grenades to stagger the monster, then finish it off with melee weapons. You can also use Mines or Grenades to kill it effectively. Sneaking behind it provides a perfect opportunity to take it down with melee weapons.
