#metalgearsolid #bossfightgaming #bossfight #mission3 #walkthrough #gameplay

Metal Gear Solid 3, the boss fight against The Fear involves a nimble, stealth-camouflaged enemy who uses poisonous crossbow bolts and moves between trees, requiring the player to use Thermal Goggles to track him. The fight also features a poison debuff that drains health, which is cured with the Cure Serum, and an injury that needs to be removed with the Cure Knife, followed by a Styptic and Disinfectant. Strategies include using poisoned food to lower The Fear's stamina, luring him with a Fake Death Pill to gain an advantage, or using a torch for a lethal, high-damage attack.
The Fear's Abilities and Attacks
Stealth Camouflage: The Fear uses a prototype active camouflage, similar to the Predator franchise, which makes him virtually invisible and forces the player to use thermal goggles to see him.
Speed and Agility: He is incredibly fast, quickly leaping from tree to tree and using wire systems to move around the environment.
Poisoned Bolts: He attacks with crossbows, firing bolts coated with the venom of dangerous animals, which inflict status effects and damage.
Grenade Bolts: He can also fire bolts that explode on impact, acting as grenades, including white phosphorus grenades.
Environmental Attacks: He may also use the environment to his advantage, such as shooting from the trees or hunting for food to regain stamina.

How to Fight The Fear
Cure the Poison and Wound: Immediately after the fight begins, the player will be shot by a poison bolt.
Go to the Cure menu in the Survival Viewer and use the Cure Serum to neutralize the poison.
Use the Cure Knife to remove the bolt from the wound, then apply a Styptic and Disinfectant.
Use Thermal Goggles: Equip the thermal goggles to track The Fear's movements through the trees.
Exploit Stamina and Food:
Poisoned Food: Drop poisoned food items found in the area to lure The Fear down to eat.
Stamina Depletion: Eating poisoned food will deplete his stamina, which causes his camouflage to fail and makes him sluggish, creating an opening to attack.
Alternative Tactics:
Fake Death Pill: Use a Fake Death Pill to make The Fear approach, and when he turns his back to revive yourself, you can deliver a free attack.
Stun Grenade: A Stun Grenade can keep The Fear stunned for a longer period, allowing for more shots or a lethal attack.
Torch Takedown: A more lethal strategy is to use a torch to set him on fire while he is distracted, quickly depleting his health.
