So you have both dolls, now what to do? Well, the only thing that works is the red doll. Just equip the red doll and shoot. When you hit hold L1 and then shake the controller back and forth. Just keep it up, maybe dodge her daggers, and that’s it. Don’t worry about a lethal kill. The red doll saps both health and psyche, and there is no other way to damage her.
Beauty Mode
*NOTE: The doll is down the north hall. You grab it and roll past her.*
Again, just blast her with V Rings. I guess too late I realized they only dodge as you press. Eh, you’ll get by.
BOSS: Psycho Mantis
Yeah, I didn’t play the first game, but I get the joke here. You should get a few good laughs from the X presses anyway. And yes, your controller changes his response. Good joke, even for this late phase of the game where long-winded cheese is the norm. This next cutscene is proof enough.
Missile Hangar
Just run forward. Some X presses in the cutscene. If you were expecting someone to say “Ask us the sex question again,” or “Where’s the rum?” then you are not alone – and shouldn’t they be in a sand castle of bodies too?
Anyway, once you’re back with Snake, all you can do is roll past all the Scarabs and just keep rolling. You only need to roll when you hit a big group or when one is on you. No need to stop and you can roll right into the items.
Microwave Corridor
Kentucky Fried Snake. Just move forward and keep a watch on the upper half of the screen. After that it becomes a real test of endurance as you must keep pressing the Triangle button, and keep pressing it quickly. You’ll be hurtin’, but you get the long end of the stick. You’ll live. No worries of health either, FYI.
Just a thought, but I believe there are no more female humans left on earth. Never mind me, enjoy the scene.
BOSS: Liquid Ocelot
Yeah, easily the worst fight in the history of fights. Period.
*NOTE: Pressing SELECT is not only the controls, it’s the only way to pause the game now. Take note of the strong punch and the dash.*
Phase 1 – I have a flawless tactic for this one. Well, you may have troubles getting this first part down. The first thing to do is knock him down. Then run up to him as he is on the ground. As he is rising, dash backward, and when he stands he will dash into you. As he is dashing start mashing the R1 button. Repeat with no health lost.
*NOTE: If you need help downing him the first time, for whatever reason, just apply the same tactics as if he was on the ground, dodge back, attack, and then you’re good.*
*NOTE: Holding R1 will send him into a choke hold after you’ve grabbed him. Also, if you do grab him, just hold R1 until you see the Triangle button down low, then press it.*
Phase 2 – It will sound crazy, but keep the same tactic in place for this fight. Just keep dodging back and then just attack. Oddly enough, it usually works. Be careful of his big wind up punch as a few of those will kill you; try L1 or even dodging to the right, very little else works. But yeah, dodge backward and just attack, very similar to the first phase. I’m not sure how, but it worked for me. He does dash a bit in this form, not often, but you know what to do when he does.
*NOTE: By taking less damage in the first two fights, you’ll have a good bit of health for this last fight, which is basically the end of the game. If you have managed to disregard my advice and have been losing health, you don’t have much room for error.*
Phase 3 – Okay, this is where 75% of the players of this game have quit. You don’t have to. First, let us clear out what need to be done during holds: “L” need to be flicked back and forth as fast a you can, “R1” is just a press, and Triangle is usually your big hit, missing Tri. is usually bad too.
When you hear “Take this!” that means to back up, but you must lure him into spending his grab without getting you. To do this you need to get close, but not too close and then dash away and hopefully he will grab at air, and after he does you are free to go. Each time he does this though, back off. If he does get you, flick L and then press Tri.
Now for the damaging him part. After he uses the “Take this!” grab, go up to him with L1 pressed down. Let him punch into you, then either hold R1 or start mashing it. Holding means you want to grab him and drain his stamina. Mashing means you want to just lay into his health. Choking his stamina to zero will mean any more choke inflicts damage, but the meter fills up to one bar very quickly. It is the best way, but not the fastest. Either way you just need to get his health to about a third and then punch to end the fight.
*NOTE: I know that during your combo you see a Tri. press pop up, but I’ve never hit it.*
If he does his super cheap headbutt, just take it and then go back with L1 pressed, let him do his one-two, and then do your hold/attack.
Phase 4 – Well, you’ve beaten the game at this point. Just senile-ily tap the R1 button for game. You don’t have to stop during the scenes either, and you can stop after the biggest hit.
*NOTE: Trust me, this fight would have probably halted the game for you without my help. I’m just so awesome like that (I almost stopped playing until I stumbled upon finding all of this in one go – divine intervention?).*
