Metal Gear Solid 4 Guide - Act 4: Twin Suns
Boss: Crying Wolf
Now unfortunately you have the displeasure of the hardest boss fight in the game, particularly on harder difficulties and even more so if you are going for no alerts or non-lethal kills. Basically Crying Wolf is parading the map as well as heaps and heaps of Haven Troopers. With the snowstorm blowing a gale Night Vision is recommended. Just move around the far edges of the level, trying not to catch any trooper's attention, looking for the head of Wolf (this is the only part that shows up on Night Vision. Get out a Sniper Rifle (This is essential! Use the scope to find her from range) and shoot the critter right in the head. You should be able to get a good few shots off before Wolf runs around again, taking off a bar or more if you're lucky.
Snipe her in the head! |
Alternatively, plant heaps of claymore mines anywhere you go to inflict damage on Wolf as she runs around and take her down only when directly in sight using an assault rifle or explosives. You could also camp in one part of the map and just sit it out, though this takes patience (meaning your Night Vision battery may run out) as Wolf doesn't patrol rigidly, rather trying to sniff you out depending on the wind direction. You can use this to your advantage by staying upwind of her so she comes to find you, but obviously it's better to have the element of surprise on your side rather than vice versa. For any strategy here it is crucial not to get too many Haven Troopers on your back as this makes scoping to search for Wolf very tricky. Once you get her health into the last segment she'll step up her search and try even harder to locate you. With it all depleted, a cutscene will play.

Crying Wolf becomes Crying Beauty. She will now walk towards you trying to grab on, as the other bosses have. Just unload your weapon of choice into her (the same sniper rifle is good fun here) until her new health bar is gone.

You get the Gekko-killing Railgun after this fight, a real help for the latter stages of the game.
(Cut Scene 10, Length 01:20)
The wolf is still wandering around which is quite cool, but once you've exhausted the fun of teasing it proceed forwards inside the doors at the direct north of the area.

There is the iPod track The Best is Yet To Come from MGS1 inside the door on the right. Continue past the crates straight-on before turning right and then left to get a hilarious call from Otacon.
