Hints and tip for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

*BOSSES*.

.

SNAKE.

.

Olga.

.

Difficulty: moderate.

.

Location: navigational deck-wing.

.

at the start shoot the canopy off by aiming at the string holding it on at the bottom, then shoot the spot light. shoot her once, and when she is walking away crawl to another bit of the place out of sight and shoot her again, repeat this and you will win easily..

.

.

Get into the holds.

.

Difficulty: easy.

.

Location: entrance to the holds.

.

equip the thermal goggles straight away and run forwards as far as you can and hide behind the box. pop out and shoot like crazy, you should have loads of ammo, when they shoot out the lights you can still see them cos you have the thermal goggles, shoot them all and dont worry about losing ammo because you wont need any more after that fight..

.

.

RAIDEN.

.

Fortune.

.

Difficulty: very easy.

.

Location: bottom of strut A.

.

this is, i think, the most pointless boss fight in the whole game. anyway equip a box so you can run while crawling. do not shoot her, she cant be hurt it is a waste of ammo. just run across the back side of the room until she stops..

.

.

Fatman.

.

Difficulty: easy.

.

Location: heliport strut E.

.

equip sensor A and defuse the bombs. shoot him loads until he falls then while he is down shoot him the head. punch-kick him down aswell then shoot him in the head..

.

.

Harrier.

.

Difficulty: hard.

.

Location: shell 1-2 connecting bridge.

.

equip the stinger and shoot it to start with until he shouts "Aaagh!" and fires huge bombs at you, when he does this run down the steps and stay close to the middle and you wont get hurt. after this he will say "you're tougher than i thought, i'll let you go out in style" look at the radar and hide behind the crate on the opposite side of the harrier and again you wont get hurt. then go back upstairs and start shooting again. he will then say "try dodging this" and he will fire loads of missiles at you, but they are very slow and just keep shooting and you will defeat him..

.

.

Vamp.

.

Difficulty: hard.

.

Location: filter chamber 2.

.

when he bows shoot him with the M9, yes, the M9. when he is swimming shoot him with the M9. when he dives out and walks towards you punch-punch-kick him. repeat this process until he goes on the balcony. run around in the shadows (left and right of the room) and shoot him with the M9 when you get the chance..

.

.

Vamp 2.

.

Difficuly: incredibly easy.

.

Location: oil fence.

.

the gun should already be aimed at him and then just tap the shoot button and he dies (you might hit emma but it is ok) oh and when doing the whole sniper mission be on your belly to minimize shakiness..

.

.

Dash to arsenal gear.

.

Difficuly: moderate.

.

Location: jejunum(?).

.

this is when you meet with snake and need to shoot your way to arsenal gear. equip a machine gun and run forwards and hide behind a crate. use jump out shot to kill these guards and gradually make you way to the end of the room..

.

.

Dash to arsenal gear 2.

.

Difficulty: moderate.

.

Location: sigmoid colon.

.

this is when you are in the hexagonal room and loads of guards come. equip the OTHER machine gun you didnt use for the first bit and shoot like crazy. if you want you can use the sword but this is risky as snake will suffer alot of damage if you do..

.

.

Mass produced Rays.

.

Difficulty: very hard.

.

Location: i dont know where but i think it is on top of arsenal gear..

.

this is the hardest boss in the game and damn frustating aswell. but if you are on very easy mode this is easy. start by shooting one of the rays in the knee with the stinger, it will fall and open its mouth, quickly shoot the open mouth to inflict max damage, repeat this process with all rays. this will take a long time and there are set numbers of rays in each difficulty setting:.

.

very easy: 3 (but only require one open mouth shot).

.

easy: 3.

.

normal: 6.

.

hard: 10.

.

extreme: 20(!).

.

.

Solidus.

.

Difficulty: hard.

.

Location: federal hall.

.

well this is the last boss so here goes, start by hacking away at him and dodging his attacks. after a while he will say "good work Jack, but this is where it gets interesting" he rips off his tentacles and starts to run around leaving fire. dont run in the fire, he will hit you but just get up and hack away. dodge his fire-runs and kill him..

.

hope this helped..
