Solidus (Extreme) hints and tips for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Solidus (Extreme)

I Just Completed MGS2 On Extreme, And Beat Solidus Without Losing Any Health

All You Have To Do To Do This Is Simple

Kill Him Using Lethal("Red" Sharp Side Of The Blade) Methods As Each Attack Is Worth More Damage Than Non-Lethal("Blue" Back Side Of The Blade) Methods

At First, Solidus Won't Fire His Electro-Powered Missiles (He Will Only Do This When He Has Lost About 1/6th Of His Health) And When He Does, Flip-Attack Straight To Him (You Don't Need To Hit Him) And His Missiles Will Be Useless (And He Will Stop At 2 If You Get There Fast Enough) You Can Evade His Attacks By Using The Flip Attack (Running, X) And It's Also Useful When You're On Fire. It Can Also Be Used To Knock Solidus Off His Feet.

The Best Combos Are Horizontal Slice (Right Analogue Stick Right) Horizontal Slice (Right Analogue Stick Left) Lunge (Press Right Analogue Stick In)

When You Have Got Him Down To Half-Life He Will Eject His "Extra Arms" And Begin To Attack You With High-Speed Charges And Faster Swipes With His 2 Swords. When He Charges At You, Face Where He's Coming From And Flip-Attack Him, This Will Knock Him Down And He Will Be Unable To Attack You. If You Get Set On Fire Flip To The Edge And Jump Off (But Press Triangle To Climb Back Up Straight Away) This Delays Your Health And You Don't Lose As Much!

Remember That Nearly All Of His Attacks Can Be Blocked With L1 (His Sword Strikes,His Outstretched "Tenticle Arms" And His Kicks) The Ones That Can't Be Blocked Are: The Low Swipes (Where He Tries To Trip You Up) The High-Speed Charge (After He Loses Half His Health) And When He Jumps Off The Building At The Side Of The Battle-Ground.
