Mission 23: The White Mamba

- This is a fairly short mission with an interesting boss battle at its conclusion. Bring a tranquilizer sniper rifle and your regular tranquilizer gun, plus sleeping grenades if you have them.

- From the landing zone northeast of Bwala ya Masa, move to the guard post west of the landing zone (this guard post is near the main road leading to Bwala ya Masa; it is located to the north of Bwala ya Masa). Tranquilize a few child soldiers here and search the green tent for rough diamonds to complete an optional mission objective.

- Continue to Bwala ya Masa and tranquilize any child soldiers you come across. Search the north part of the village (perhaps with the help of D-Dog) to find a prisoner, fulfilling another optional objective.

- Clear the village as much as you can, then approach the boat, or preferably, check out the pier to the north of the boat. From the far end you can use a tranquilizer sniper rifle to spot (just barely) the head of the White Mamba, leader of the childe soldiers. You have one shot, so make it count. You can use Pentazemin for a steady hand.

- Alternatively you can sneak up on the White Mamba by moving to the south of the ship and climbing the deck from there. Do NOT try to directly hit the White Mamba with a headshot; this will not work. Instead throw a magazine to lure him away from his chair and go for a headshot from here. This fulfills an optional objective.

- Should you alert the White Mamba by regularly taking the stairs or failing one of the above methods, a boss fight starts with the White Mamba. It consists out of three phases.

1. The White Mamba will agressively attack you. Fully focus on timing counterattacks at the right time until phase two starts.

2. Th[Subsistence] White Mamba will back away and hide from you, sometimes attempting to attack you. Try to counterattack whenever possible and actively seek out his hiding spots. It helps immensely if you bring D-Dog along to focus on the Mamba's position. You can try to sneak up on the Mamba and shoot him, or rush towards him and throw/punch him on the ground.

3. The third phase adds molotov cocktails in the mix (no pun intended), which the White Mamba throws at you every now and then. When you've defeated the White Mamba, a helicopter is automatically called to near your current position. Quickly extract your target.

- [Subsistence]-rank Tips: Rush towards the White Mamba and hit him with a tranquilizer sniper rifle from the pier to the north of the boat, then extract him immediately.
