Defeat the first wave of Leapers | Episode 1 Remember Me Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Right after the beginning of this episode, you will have to fight your first fight with mutant outcasts called Prowler Leapers. At first, test your quick dodges. At the same time, pay attention to the red exclamation marks above your enemies' heads. These notify you of the imminence of their attacks.
Before you start to land your own blows, you are going to see a tutorial concerning the construction of combos. Start by bringing up the Sensen chip menu and selecting the first item on the list (Combo Lab). As of now, the main character has two basic power strikes at her disposal (Power Pressens). You can use these to create a combo of three fist strikes. The first strike always comes predefined so, there are two more slots that you can define yourself. (the above screenshot). In general, taking into account the fact that you are early into the game, you cannot make any serious alterations here and, to all intents and purposes, you can only define the sequence in which the basic movements are going to be delivered. It is worth mentioning here that each consecutive strike is a bit stronger than the previous one. For example, if you place a strike in the third slot, instead of the second one, this individual strike will inflict more damage (this also means that, in order to reach that strike, you will have to press two buttons instead of one).
Return to the game and start dealing your punch combos; so, press the left mouse button , or the button on your controller linked to the upper limb attacks, three times. Follow the game's instructions and try to work out the appropriate rhythm by pressing each consecutive button right at the moment that the previous hit lands. Note also that Nilin has been gradually gathering experience points (PMP - Procedural Mastering Points), which will allow you to unlock new moves further in the game.
Continue launching your attacks and remember to dodge frequently because, as of now, Nilin is not capable of healing herself. After you deal with the mutants, listen to the conversation with Edge and take the only available exit from this location, which will allow you to reach the medical spot (SAT Hatch) shown in the above screenshot. Stations like this one will allow your character to heal free of charge.
