BOSS STRATEGIES

Follow these strategies to defeat the bosses with ease.


Ordered By:
Hind-D
Aim with Stinger, lock on with Stinger, hit with Singer. The
only things you need to keep in mind are that you should spend a lot of
time between the two narrow structures for safety, and to only go to
the high ground when you need an ammo fillup. When Liquid yells, "Eat
this!," get as far away from the higher area as you can, or you'll lose
a large amount of your life. The strategy is easy, but one hit can
really hurt, so be careful. On the higher difficulty levels, when you
have no radar, it can help to use sound to figure out where he is. If
you don't have a stereo hookup, you'll just have to follow from where
the rail shots are coming from.

Liquid Snake
Liquid isn't too hard if you know what you're doing. Be sure to use your punch-punch-kick combo frequently. If you fall off of REX hit any button quickly to stay on. Don't be too careless when fighting him because on hard and extreme diffuculties his counter-attacks do alot of damage. Once you have depleted Liquid of his life you still need to kick him off of REX.

M1 Tank
First off, you can use the Thermal Goggles to see where the mines are
before the fight. They are much more effective than the mine detector.
Use a Chaff Grenade to disable its long range gun so you can get up
close, then throw a grenade at the top. If you get the grenade to land
by the guy in the tank, you'll blow him right out, but it will take two
hits to get rid of him if your aim is a little off. There are two
guys, so it should take 2-4 grenades. Be sure to know where the tank
is at all times, because if you get too far away, you'll need to use
another Chaff. You can keep tabs on it on the radar, or if you're
playing in Hard of Extreme, by the direction the rail gun shots are
coming from. If the tank runs you over, it won't do as much damage as
you might think, but don't make a habit of it.

Metal Gear REX
Don't even think of entering this fight without all of the rations you
can take. You'll need them for the second form. As Otacon will tell
you, the first thing you'll need to take out will be the sensor dish
on Metal Gear REX's left shoulder. Since Liquid can't see outside of
REX's pilot seat, use a Chaff Grenade to disable the homing missiles.
Then, fire a Stinger and repeat. All the while, keep moving. When you
see its energy getting low, you can fire the last two shots without a
Chaff in between. If you do it right, you can get past this first form
without using even one ration.

In its second form, Liquid will aim at you manually, and track you with
his own two eyes. The closer you are, the less chance there is that
you'll be hit by the missiles. The only safe places are right behind
REX and right under him. Just be careful not to let him step on you,
or you'll be dead instantly, rations or no. Try to get out of his line
of sight as much as you can, and fire stingers from the side. If this
is too difficult, you might be able to just run around and fire
Stingers at him, but this is very ration consuming, and rarely works on
Hard and Expert. Don't worry about using all of your rations, as
you'll never see any of your stuff again. There is one more ration in
the top left of the room, which you should get as soon as possible when
you can hold it.

Ninja
First, hit him with some punches and kicks. He'll put his sword away,
and ask to take you on in hand to hand combat. He has some strong and
frustrating kicking attacks, so it's best to hit him right when he
comes out of an attack. Always hit him with Snake's punch-punch-kick
combo. The best thing to do is to get to the opposite side of a desk
so that he has to jump over it to hit you. When he lands, attack.
After a while, he will turn on his stealth suit and hide somewhere in
the room. Find him, and attack. Keep this up, until he starts his
next phase, where he teleports when you punch him. This is the best
time to use your Chaff Grenades. Use one, then when he screams, attack
him. After that Chaff runs out, repeat with another until you're out
of them. He'll teleport after the first punch, and sometimes the
second, but the third will always connect. During this phase, don't do
a combo on your first and second punches, or he'll hit you in mid kick.
If the second punch connects, follow immediately with a second. After
this phase, when all of his life is gone, move away post haste. A
large electric field will surround him, which will hurt you
considerably. Now is the time to open fire. After each shot hits,
he'll teleport somewhere else. After three solid hits, he'll be gone,
and Dr. Emmerich will come out.

Psycho Mantis
With this boss you'll try to shoot, only for him to
dodge. The same happens if you try to hit him bare handed. Here comes the logical part. He knows what you're going to do because he's reading you're reactions - you're controller - so switch controller ports to stop him from reading you. This makes him prove to be a simple task. Periodically he'll pop Meryl back up so knock her out with stun grenades. Soon, he'll be beat.

Revolver Ocelot
This is pretty much the same for all difficulty levels, and no one
should have any trouble with it. The only real concern is running out
of ammo. There are three ammo boxes, each with 12 shots in them. Only
pick one up if you have 13 shots or less in your SOCOM, so you get the
full 12 from them all. Stay on the outside, being careful not to trip
the wire that's holding Baker. Follow Ocelot around, and stay alert
when he still has bullets in his gun. While he's reloading is the
easiest time to hit him, but don't be afraid to hit him at other times
as well. Watch out for ricocheting bullets, as they will probably
cause you the most trouble.

Sniper Wolf (1)
While you're in sniper mode, you'll always move involuntarily, unless
you use some Diazepam. If you run out, go ahead and use a Cigarette. They help, but deplete life slowly. Sniper Wolf is always on the second floor, and only comes out to shoot you. A good idea is to press yourself against a wall so that your back is to Wolf, so you can see her in the distance. Come out to shoot her when she is hiding behind something so that she won't shoot you while you're lining up your own shot. When she hits you, if you lose your orientation, it is quicker to de-equip the PSG-1, align yourself with Sniper Wolf by pressing upon the D-pad, then re-equip it than it is to find her again from the PSG-1's scope. If you run out of ammo, run as far to one side as you can, then cross to the other side to find five bullets. Don't worry; the mines are gone. Be sure to save afterwards, because the continue-free torture event is up next.

Sniper Wolf (2)
Sniper Wolf will always be behind the trees in front of you. The
easiest thing to do is hide behind a tree and hit her with Nikitas.
Don't forget that you can see from the missile's eye view by holding
triangle. After that, lock on to her with every Stinger you have left,
and make sure that they all hit. They're much easier to hit her with
than PSG-1 shots, and they do much more damage than the simple PSG-1
shots. The rest of the fight is just like the first fight, except for
the fact that she has more hiding places this time. Just keep careful
track of where she is at all times, and you'll be fine.

Vulcan Raven
There are two main attacks you can use on him: C4 and Stingers. If you
have radar, you can place C4 on the ground, and detonate it when you
see him walking nearby. If not, you can use Stingers. Wait for him by
a corner, and when he walks out into an intersection, fire and run.
Stay as far away from him as you can, as he has some of the strongest
attacks of anyone you'll face. Nikita missiles work sometimes, but he
will shoot them down if he sees them.
