The final boss in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is The Boss, the legendary soldier who taught Snake much of what he knows. Facing her can be pretty intimidating because she’s been overpowering Snake in story scenes throughout the game. But now, it’s your turn to control Snake for this showdown.
This fight remains challenging. It involves sneaking around, blending in with camouflage, and engaging in close-quarters combat (CQC). Plus, there is a time limit, so you need to act quickly. Here’s how to beat her.
The Boss’s Attacks
The Boss doesn’t possess superpowers like some enemies. She only has a couple of moves:
- Shooting you with her Patriot weapon
- Charging at you for CQC
Here’s how to handle each attack:
| Attack | How to Deal With It |
|---|---|
| Shooting at You | When she fires, run away and hide behind a tree or crawl through the flowers, hoping she loses sight of you. |
| CQC (Close Quarters Combat) | Let her charge and grab you, then wait for the slow-motion moment before pressing the CQC button. Timing is tricky, and sometimes you might need to counter more than once. |
How to Defeat The Boss
The fight takes place among white lilies, which serve as perfect camouflage for her outfit. Staying hidden is key, so make sure to equip the best camouflage for this area—like Snow camo if you have it.
Once you’ve got your camo, crawl among the lilies to stay out of her sight. She’ll eventually retreat behind trees and peek around, searching for you. This is your chance to sneak into a better position and take a shot.
Using thermal goggles can help locate her because her camo makes her hard to spot. It’s easier to stay hidden when you’re crouched or standing behind trees rather than prone. Wait until she is looking away or is behind cover, then move into position to shoot her.
After you shoot her, she may charge at you again. When that happens, you’ll need to counter her CQC attack by pressing the CQC button at the right moment as the game slows down. If successful, you’ll knock her down, which damages her stamina and gives you an opportunity to shoot her multiple times while she’s on the ground. Take advantage of these moments to deal extra damage.
Firing at her while she’s searching, countering her CQC, and shooting her when she’s down are the key ways to hurt her in this fight. Once her health or stamina runs out, the showdown will end. If you beat her without killing her, you can pick up the unique Snake camo she leaves behind.
