F.E.A.R. 2: Origin Question

How do I beat (Alma ((interval 05 near elevator)))?

During interval 05, after i acquired the keycard, i open the elevator and alma attacks.

I simply CANNOT press the right mouse button fast enough. Im going crazy on this thing and even got my metal drummer brother to insanely tap on the thing, and i still die. I have 2 medpacks on me...

thing is, my brother got away from her the first time, when stokes and griffin are there with me, a bit earlier in the game.

i cant find anyone else having this same problem...

am i the only one?

Its the first game of this type ive played, and its on "easy"

thank you for any advice.

***i did not realize you could ask questions here, i am new to this board, sorry for any clutter ive caused.

i am pressing rather neurotically, and trying to hold down "E" as well to open up the elevator...

should i be holding anything down specifically besides doing the melee?

I beat alma finally - but now against vadek in the next part, i cant do it at all.

i think something is weird with my pc...

There was a similar issue with the people not getting into the elevator when they fended off Alma at that point. The fix was to lower the resolution.

It's sort of a long shot, but maybe it works in this case, too?

Strange.. It shouldn't take many presses at all to get pass all the melee scenes. Usually 2-3 presses should do, though I changed my melee to alt rather than mouse2.

May be a long shot, but try changing your melee button. ^^; It's really the only thing I can think of that might fix the problem.

I think that Yewolife is probably correct, try setting your melee to a keyboard button instead and see if that fixes it. It may be that your mouse isn't being picked up properly by the game and it is ignoring your frantic button pressing, or perhaps you are simply pressing too quickly.

If remapping the melee doesn't fix the problem, press less frantically and more deliberately. As well, take the path around to the right as soon as you can get away from her. You will have to push her off a minimum of two times, and perhaps no less than three. Good luck.

You shouldn't need to hold or press anything other than the melee button when a melee scene is occurring. (Except in some mid/late game cases where you will need to press mouse 1 finish them off. Though, they will alert you the same way they do for the melee.)
