Mia (axe)

- Where
- Guest House 1F: the basement hallway and the Vacant Room
Weak point
None in particular: block and counter with the Axe
This is the block and melee tutorial. First you wrestle with Mia and her knife; then she throws you through a wall into a room with an Axe on the floor. She has about 700 HP (datamined, single source). The Axe does 100 per normal swing and 150 per heavy swing, so 5–7 hits are enough. The rhythm never changes: block, one hit, block.
Reward
Access to the second half of the Guest House, and the Axe (pick it up again).
About 700 HP. The Guest House has no Item Box and the Survival Pack items can't reach you yet: fight with what you carry. On Madhouse her hits do more damage, so keep blocking.
Step by step
- Knife struggle: press the button shown on screen. You take damage whatever you do; if the screen turns red, heal with a First Aid Med (R).
- Mia passes out. When you walk up to her body she throws you through the wall: pick up the Axe as soon as you get up.
- Circle her and hold L to block when she raises her arm. After each block, one single swing (ZR), then block again.
- Alternative: wait for her wind-up and interrupt it with a swing.
- Your first block earns the "Arms in the Air" achievement.
- Afterwards her body is gone but the Axe stays where she fell: pick it up again, it is your backup for the attic.
