Conquer Mission Level 2-2: Public Assembly in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D! Learn about time bonuses, Majini tactics, and how to achieve an SS rank.

Alright, let's dive into Mission Level 2-2, Public Assembly, in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. This stage is a bit like a training ground, really hammering home the importance of those time bonuses. You'll see them scattered around – they look like little hourglasses with an orange glow. When you get close, just hit the [Y] button to smash it and add some precious seconds back to your clock. Don't forget, this melee attack can actually hurt enemies too, so keep that in mind!

Mission Objective: Defeat all 20 Town Majini.

As soon as you start, take out the Majini to your right. There's a 60-SECOND TIME BONUS right by the metal wall ahead. Watch out, though – a Majini will pop over that wall as you approach it, so be ready to deal with them.

• Time Bonus Melee Attack: Remember that smashing a time bonus is a melee attack. It can actually weaken or even kill a Majini, so it's a great way to finish off weakened enemies or save your ammo.

Now, head into the marketplace area with all the stands. Clear out the Majini here. You'll want to make your way up the stairs to the rooftop of the central building, then hop over to the bus rooftop. Up there, you'll find a 30-SECOND TIME BONUS. Break it!

Keep an eye out for 'camping' Majini – these are the ones that just stand there until you get close. Later stages will have a lot more of these, and sometimes they can even prevent other enemies from spawning because the game's enemy limit is already reached. Many of them hang out near the Executioner platform, so hop off the bus and sweep that area to draw them out. Go for melee kills whenever you can; it's good practice and racks up points. There are some breakable objects around, but honestly, you don't really need them for this mission.

SS-Rank Tips:

• Make sure you break both time bonuses before you finish off all 20 Majini. You'll get a total of 6,000 points just from Majini kills, so keep an eye on your score and break those bonuses when you're getting close to that target.
• Run towards the Executioner platform to draw out all the enemies. This groups them up nicely, and you'll find several camping Majini in that vicinity.

Recommended Skills:

• Old School (level 3): Handy for reloading your inventory.
• Lucky 7: This will give you extra time for every melee kill you land.
