About the Extreme difficulty setting:
In this difficulty level, you'll notice many things. You can carry only two
rations, which are a must for boss fights. Bosses can kill you very quickly.
There's more, but I'll let you figure that out.
-----------------------
A little help:
This may make me sound like a cheater and I hope it does. The bandana, brown
wig, and stealth are a must. Chances are that you won't survive without them.
Also, make sure to get the body armor and chaff grenades.
===================
On to the Bosses:
-------------------
Tanker Chapter;
Boss1: Olga Gurlukovich
You'll have to be good at dodging bullets in this fight. Only try hitting Olga
when you have a clean shot. Taking out that tarp over the explosive equipment
will help (it's right in front of you). Don't bother with the light, you can't
shoot it out and you'll be an easy target. Two shots from Olga and you might be
dead, depends on whether you have rations or not. When she starts throwing
grenades, the fight gets a little easier. When you hear Olga say "Take this!"
run out and shoot her, then run for cover. Since you're blinded by the light,
you'll have to take wild shots.
------------------------
Plant Chapter;
Boss1: Fortune
Don’t bother using bullets, you can’t hit her. She comes very close to hitting
you if you run from side to side. Duck behind the containers for some temporary
cover. When both of them are destroyed, run across the room repeatedly and use
the Raiden flip to dodge the shots (run and press x when she fires). At the end
she brings the roof down in the middle. After that, the fight is over.
--------------------------
Boss2: Fatman
Fatman doesn’t do very much damage when he runs into you. His bombs have a very
short timer, about 30 seconds. Try to get as many bombs as possible frozen while
hooting Fatman as many times as possible in the head. You can slow him down by
placing claymore mines in the edges. You may need to use many continues until
you kill him, but you can probably do it.
--------------------------
Boss3: Harrier
Rations help in this fight as well as all the others. If you can get the Stinger
out fast enough, you can hit the Harrier twice when it flies over at the start.
When it flies off in the distance, look for the flash to get its location, then
lock-on and fire. Quickly hang off the railing right behind you so the Harrier
can’t shoot you. Watch out for the cluster bombs. When you hear him fire 4
rockets, get down to the lower level as fast as you can. The cluster bombs do
very heavy damage when you get hit by them. When the Harrier uses the machine
gun, stand behind the cylinder. You'll have to move around a little because he
circles the area with the machine gun. Pop him with the Stinger when you get a
chance.
---------------------------
Boss4: Vamp
This fight will most likely take a few tries. If you have the brown wig, keep it
up in this fight, or use with either of the automatic weapons. Shoot him with a
Stinger first. While he's underwater, you can throw in a few grenades or use the
M4 or AKs-74u. The bullets won't do much damage unless you hit many times with
one clip. When his life is nearly gone, he will change his attacks. He will
jump around the room and then throw about 5 knives at you at once. If you have a
lot of life, by that I mean nearly full, try to shoot him with a Stinger. If
Vamp's life is low enough, it should kill him.
---------------------------
Boss5: Metal Gear RAY x20
This fight is all about the brown wig. You will need chaff grenades. At the
start, throw a chaff. Then shoot the knee of RAY in the middle, then pop the
head. Throw 2 more chaff grenades. Repeat until he jumps onto the platform
you're on. throw another chaff and finish Ray off. 1 down, 19 more to go.
While you're waiting for the next one to jump in, you can throw a few chaff, or
wear down another RAY. Just be sure to throw 2 chaff after each head shot. How
you attack is up to you. After each head shot, throw 2 chaff, then attack
again. If RAY uses the knee missiles, run then do the Raiden flip at the last
second to avoid them. Keep at it and you'll get this fight done.
-------------------------
Final Boss: Solidus
The body armor is a must. Make sure you are using the sharp edge (sword should
be red in the bottom-right corner). If you haven't learned to block with the
sword, you'll need to learn very quickly. The first part of the fight is easy.
Just hang off the edge. When Solidus comes in and he brings both of his blades
up to attack you, get back up there. Hit him twice only. Keep doing this until
he gets rid of his snake arms. Use L1 to block. Watch Solidus' attacks and
strike when you have an opening. His attacks will be one hit or a 3 hit combo.
When you kill him, sit back and enjoy the end.
