New World: This is how aggro works with ridicule and aggro building
How do you draw and hold aggro in New World? We’ll show you everything you need to know about aggro in the game. This is how you refuel successfully or you are not an annoying teammate for your tanks.
What is aggro? As Aggro refers in multiplayer games the attention of an opponent. Whoever has the aggro will be attacked in a focused manner by the corresponding mob. In a group, it is best to have the tank have the opponents’ attention and hold aggro.
If you cause too much damage/healing or attack too early, it can happen that you steal the aggro. With the taunt ability, a tank can then draw the focus of the opponent again.
We show you in the overview how the aggro works in New World.
Pulling, Building and Holding Aggro – How’s the New World doing?
What the developers say: In the New World forum, Chardis, a New World developer, explains how the target prioritization of opponents and the game’s aggro system work (via forums.newworld.com ).
How do opponents choose the target? Most opponents in New World choose their target based on the threat (aggro). The threat is calculated from the healing done (on other players and also on you) with spells, damage to opponents, the blocking of enemy damage, and the taunt ability.
Opponents choose the player who is currently highest on the threat list as a target. That player then has that opponent’s aggro.
You hold the aggro of an opponent until one of the following events occurs:
- Another player generates more aggro than you and fights his way to the top of the threat list
- Another player uses the taunt ability
- The AI opponents use a special ability that targets players who are currently not aggro
Chardis explains these three scenarios in more detail:
- Player A has 100 threats and therefore the aggro of the opponent. Player B generates 110 threats and overtakes player A. Now player B has the aggro of the opponent and the AI attacks player B.
- Player A has 100 threats and player B has 0 threats, but then uses the taunt ability. With this, he draws the aggro of the enemy directly, who will attack him as long as the aggro ability is active. Then the opponent attacks the opponent who is highest on the threat list.
- If player A has 100 threats and player B 0, an opponent can still attack player B. If he uses the ability “I throw my spear at the player furthest away”, the threat list for this ability is ignored.
How’s it going with healers and aggro? As Chardis explains, healing causes significantly less threat per ability than any other weapon. Since you can also conjure up AoE healings and healings over time (hots) with the life wand, you can also use it to build up threats.
If you heal your tank before it can damage the enemy, then you as a healer have the aggro first. In this case, your tank can scoff and build up its threat with damage in order to keep the aggro.
Mendez is one of the main bosses in the game that players will have to defeat in order to progress ahead in the main story of the game. Mendez is the tough Hat guy that you have met several times during the early missions of the game and you will finally get to defeat him in the Sixth Chapter of the game.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to defeat Mendez in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Defeating Mendez
Mendez will come after you in the Sixth Chapter for a couple of times and once you have escaped him for the first time, he will come after you again when you reach the Slaughter House. A cutscene will start in which he will kick down Leon and after the cutscene, you will get to fight the Demon Form of Mendez. Mendez is like a scorpion + spider demon and at the start of the fight, you will have to deal heavy damage to Mendez to separate him from his lower body.
Use the Riot Shotgun for this boss as it will deal the most-heavy damage to him. You can also use the Submachine Gun at him to deal a decent amount of damage to him. Mendez has a grabbing attack that can be dodged and you can also get out of the grab attack by striking him with the knife when the icon pop-up on the screen. He also has a smashing attack that you need to dodge by maintaining a distance from him.
Once you have dealt enough damage, he will go down and you will get the prompt to knife him. Go near him to knife him and deal a bit more damage to separate his top body from the lower. Two scorpion claws will come out of his body and he will use them to throw the flaming wooden planks at you from distance as well as the explosive barrels. At this stage, you need to use the Submachine gun or the Rifle to deal damage at the distance.
When he throws the planks, you can dodge them by pressing the evade button at the perfect time. You can also move away from them to dodge them. When you see him holding the barrels, you need to shoot at the barrels to deal high damage to him. Keep shooting at him to defeat him. A cutscene will start in which he will be killed and you will have to get out of the Slaughter House before you get burned down in the fire.
Grave Robber is one of the Merchant’s Requests that players can complete to get Spinels as a reward. All of the requests can be picked up from different locations and the Grave Robber request can be found in the Third Chapter or Fifth Chapter of the game.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to complete the Grave Robber Request.
Completing the Grave Robber Request
You can find the Grave Robber Request at the back side of the Church. You will get here after rescuing Ashley from the Church. You can also get here in the Third Chapter when you get to the Church for the first time. The Request will be on the wooden cabin in front when you get to the backside and it will tell you to destroy the 2 Tombstone Emblems.
The Tombstone Emblems are in the middle of the graveyard just outside the Church. Go to the Graveyard and go to the middle of it and you will see two emblems on different graves. You need to break the emblems to complete the Grave Robber Request.
After completing the Grave Robber request, go to the Merchant and he will reward you with 2x Spinels.
After getting the Church Key, players will have to make their way back to the Church. They will get encountered by a Giant on the way and players will have to defeat the giant in order to make their way to the Church. Once they have reached the church, they will be able to open the Church main gate with the Church Key. After getting into the church, they will have to find Ashley but in order to do that, they will have to solve a Puzzle of lighting inside the Church.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to Solve the Church Puzzle in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Get the Blue Dial
When you go ahead in the Church, you will find a lever on the left side which will reveal two different dials, Green and Red. The Blue Dial will be missing and you will have to find the Blue Dial in order to start solving the light puzzle in the Church.
There will be a small pathway on the right side inside the church and at the end of the path, there will be a cupboard. Open the Cupboard to get the Blue Dial. Once you have the Blue Dial, go back to the Dial Console and place the Blue Dial on it.
Solving the Church Light Puzzle
You will have to rotate all of the three dials one by one in order to place them at the spot where the Yellow Symbols and the gaps of Red, Blue, and Green also combine to make the complete cult symbol. In order to do that, you need to move the Blue Dial in a way that the blue spots fits perfectly at the bottom left of the Cult Symbol.
Once it is placed right, switch to the Green Dial. Now, rotate the dial in a way that the green spots fits perfectly at the top left side as well as the top right side of the cult symbol. Now, switch to the Red Dial and move the red spots in a way that the bottom right side of the cult symbol fits perfectly with the spots. Once you have found the accurate spots, it will automatically light up and the door on the left side will open.
Once you have opened the door, you need to go up from the ladder on the left side to reach the door to find Ashley.
