The Mentalgandr is an enemy that appears in Serious Sam: Tormental.
Overview[]
The Mentalgandr is a long, green snake-like creature. This schema, along with the Jormungandr, are concepts based on the Hum-Tahs' fascination with massive serpents, such as the Shaanti Dragon and the Saggitarian Sidewinder. Oddly, the Mentalgandr and Jormungandr are thought up as being much smaller than the large creatures they are based on in the real world.[1]
Appearances[]
Mentalgandrs only appear in "Nightmare Caves", along with Jormungandrs.
Behavior and skills[]
When the Mentalgandr notices the player, it will rush in and attempt to bite them. This is its only attack. The Mentalgandr has an armored helmet-like head that can sustain sufficient damage before it dies.
Like the Jormungandr, if a segment of its body has been destroyed, another segment will turn into a head and join together with other segments to form another Mentalgandr.
Tactics[]
- Destroying the Mentalgandr's body segments is key for destroying this enemy. Shooting at its head takes much longer to destroy and is a waste of ammo if the player chooses to do so otherwise.
- Explosive weapons like the Bomber and Rocket are great weapons for blowing up their body segments. The player can also use any bombs in the area, lure the Mentalgandr to it and detonate them to destroy large portions of its body.
