[alhammadi92]

thanx



[PrivateIcefae]

lol'd hard at 2:35

[deathshadow456]

When I have the game I'll take both dolls

[BINGFRYSRDUN]

Something happens when I grab the doll and get hold of Mantis and then you shake the controller. it takes her health all the way down but then it stops. i shake harder and faster and nothing happens. any help?

[shadap2]

this is stupid i cant shoot the puppets cuz whenever i aim at them it auto locks directly on her and wont go off , i even turned aim assist off and it still wont work

[ThePS3RULES360]

@shadap2 thats cuz u need to inject yourself with nanomachines

[SuperRandomToast]

Howwwwwwwwwwwww the fuck do you inject yourself?

[BobzieT]

@SuperRandomToast unequip ur weapon and hold R1, then press triangle.

[ozera16]

i had the same problem with grabbing her ,for a week , u have to use the syringe on yourself then u can grab her . there are health bars near each door entrance . there is about 3 that i found if u need health

[linkinway]

What with the syringe thing ? i'm using it in every battle ! is that all the puzzle left in MGS4 ?

[XSOULWEAVERX]

@linkinway it replenishes your psyche

[snake608]

try it on big boss hard orsomthing.. i did kill het on that lvl.

[Yumihana89]

Mantis is a control puppetter and it also control millions of cells on a human body and all U need to do is to use syringe to neutralise snake first and den use on meryl.

[spidey1233]

eyou have to HOLD R1 not press it. pressing it hits her.

[SleepingDragon5]

I can't beat mantis, I'm already grab her with mantis doll then shake the controller

her life gauge is down but she's not dead what should I do?

[WottTube]

I still want to play this game even though I've already watched the whole game's walkthrough. D:

[0bmadrid89]

Great video helped me alot

[UntitanTube]

Honestly, she did more laughing than screaming.

[viggy123]

my god i failed so hard beating this boss... i tryed every thing from change controllers and disconnect from online mode i called otacon like 50 times till i got tired and called my friend he only said... " shoot the dolls idiot!"

[screamingtoast99]

This helped alot

[TwoHandTailedMonkey]

Poor Meryl.. she was controlled by Psycho Mantis and said "Useless woman" and now when she was controlled by Screaming Mantis she said "This weapon is useless!" Lol Poor Meryl...

[P1n0iGam3rS]

it took me two days to beat this on big boss mode.

[cookfamfour]

What happens if you shoot the OTHER doll?

[Houndz1100]

Remember how to beat her in the first game? Take your remote and plug it into the 2nd plug,well if you do the same in this game. He says: Snake,that won't work this time.

[StanpyX]

God it must suck to be Meryl.. she gets possessed twice in little less than 10 years!

[alern92]

@StanpyX useless woman lol

[Cuauhtli47]

its easier if you knock her out with the MK.2 pistol..

[meatbag007]

i never sryinged meryl i just shot the doll a million times

[chichunkmax]

@anrew1997 dude read the dateon my comment! it was 1 year ago, ppl stop rerplying to comments i made a year ago :D

[vadont]

[COOLPUNK18]

[LILGRIM789]

you have to stab yourself with the syringe first then grab her then stab her and thank you to the person that made this vid it really help

[KilliKilliPower]

What does Sorrow Doll do?

[07Bloodrain]

@KilliKilliPower give enemy's depression

[07Bloodrain]

@KilliKilliPower kk for reals it always you to take pics of ghosts on shadow moses and leats you see them threw the camara

[NLmitchieNL]

[alvinleeman1]

[Rebel3000]

DX ITS MGS ALL OVER AGAIN!

[JohnnyKudluk9]

i beat all Beauty's with my D.E.

[callofthe4]

the bosses in this game can be weird, but they hot once you beat them :D

[TheOneTooMany]

How do you get her in a CQC chokehold? I keep trying but i just hit her with the gun! What do I do?

[Adamanwolf]

@TheOneTooMany use a 1 handed weapon, get next to her and HOLD R1

[Vex12345]

Thanks for the guide. Gotta love these MGS4 sexy and crazy bosses. =P

[203ltachl203]

psyco mantis fails

u beat him just by using the ps3

[snipez4real]

yo where do you get the puppet or how do you get it? i know it sounds stupid but i wasn't paying attention and can't see the specific actions that well

[dms1992]

how do i change rate of fire on a gun?

[BeZerkld]

@dms1992 its triangle. :)

[chewbakadude123]

I think its stupid having a single shot or a 3 fire burst, to be honest i just set it to full automatic and when i want 1 bullet to come out i only press the trigger quickly :P and when i want 3 bullets to come out i press it qucikly 3 times :P any more than that i just hold in the trigger until i am satisfied that its dead xD

[wad3flash33]

how do you change weapons that fast?

[ShOrtieMAC919]

ive beaten them all so imma start doin the psp ones

[chineseswordsman]

one of the best fights in mgs history.

[Galigon525]

ive got all mgs games apart from this one but ive beaten the game in under 6 hours around my friends house and played roufly(cant spell) 400 hours of online gameplay so i think im prettey good

[SpeedDemons1983]

dang i need this game, i beat MGS 1, 2, and 3.

[CrASYmUZIk]

hey mantis changed since MGS1 his mask look like a box but now look at this XD

[IronHedgehog1]

im confused, for some reason my m4 can only fire one bullet at a time. all my other weapons work normal someone help!!!

[MarioHaloid566]

when u r choosing ur weapon on the right u have to press triangle

[s3anp4ul]

change firing mode by pushing triangle... then you can switch it to single burst, three shot or fully automatic

[djfranticc]

Hold r2 while while playing then highlight the M4 & press triangle to change the rate of fire. there is single shot

3 bullet bursts

& fully automatic (constant fire!) ;)

[StreicherIsTheKing]

1:00

[DXmaster1015]

[chichunkmax]

[panzer254]

[chichunkmax]

[brazilboy107]

[panzer254]

[MrBillDaBear]

@chichunkmax HOLD r1 and you grab her. keep holding r1 and press triangle to inject her. but make sure u have the syringe equipped.

[chichunkmax]

[gutsygamer]

[mastros169]

good god i never used the syringe on me... maybe that's the reason why i can't even aim the doll -_-

[foxyksa]

DONE, thanx alot :)

[thegreatsephiroth1]

Looks like Psycho Mantis is in MGS4. I can't believe it. Even Meryl is there. My God! What has MGS4 come into!?

[timstarockz]

its a newer version of psycho mantis. u can see him in Act 1 if u look closely

[fatryd1969]

VERY EASY 2 min!! use syringe ON MERYL and then use the rail gun to hit her mantis dolls, she will then drop a doll grab it and use it against her. 2 shots with the doll shes dead!!

[Hollywoodx21x]

Do you get to keep the doll after you defeat her? I like new unlockable weapons.

[MagikJr397]

Dude i beat mantis in 1 min just use a rail gun on her dolls and boom the dolls are mine and shes dead and use the syinge on yourself and meryl and screaming beauty is no prob

[nexttxtking]

u gotta be shittin me.

[heungho]

Snake is Spawn

[ICEheaven102]

that laughter is really annoying

[PLAZ1990s]

U have 2 use the syringe FIRST then go to Meryl and hold R1 with a CQB weapon or w/ out a gun and hit Triangle then u got to shoot her little puppet thing's floating beside her

[typeboy098]

sorry but its CQC

[PLAZ1990s]

Sorry... There is something called CQB also

(CQC)

[typeboy098]

yeah but here its CQC

[PLAZ1990s]

YEAH!

I know!

[ridderbou]

wooooooo scaryy

[Bradster9528]

wat are the dolls again theres Sorrow and i forget the other one?

[KrimsonAce]

Sorry and Mantis. The mantis doll is not screaming mantis, A.K.A. MGS4 Mantis, but Psycho Mantis, A.K.A. MGS1 Mantis.

[Bradster9528]

hope u ment sorrow...

[Miozi]

This mantis guy is creep is he controlling those dead bodies?

[hollowkos]

that's the sorrow! the doll I mean...ah ah ah !

[capownz]

ok wtf u press R1 to do the first move guys which is grab but i keep going through them fucking things!!! is that a glitch?!?!

[dolemite0]

You mean, after R1, you press triangle, then Snake cuts the throat?

If that is what you mean then just equip the syringe, then grab with R1 and press triangle. Then Snake should use the Syringe instead of Knife. The same way you did to Vamp.

Also, when pressing R1 to grab, dont use the directional stick. Otherwise Snake slams the person to the ground.

[geordieprideNUFC]

, try it on big boss mode its fukin solid , even if u have bandana ,piss take

[barrera2222]

danm how do you the firts move

[3NIGMAXRX]

wow thank god theres youtube

[m120426]

thanks man

[wqeee]

how do i use the syringe on her?!?

[Kapteeni40]

Wait a sec! The doll at the mantis' right side is The sorrow?!

[snowsolder]

2:55

[HerperKidZac]

Thanks a lot Gamerepublicvideo! This was a big help! =D

[MrM201]

how do i crab her

[Aoishingo23]

Please, where did you guys find the syringe?

I'm there, I don't have it, so I can defeat her. Somebody help me, please.

[ENDRI19]

it should be in your items inventory Neome gives it you after you save her.

[HerperKidZac]

Yeah go to your items and look for it and then switch it into your active items.

[fortxpost]

i meant to say is i cant get a grip on her too

[fortxpost]

same wit grip it wont let me

[darwinator975]

is it possible to get both the marionette of physco mantis AND the sorrow? i'm a completionist and i just hate when i cant completly complete a game.

[SuperSeenith]

yes.

[Kalashnikovkira]

hmmm i can't seem to be able to grab meryl, and when i try to shoot the dolls it won't let me get my crosshairs on them. anyone know what i can do?

[SINGLEGUY18]

how do u grab it wont work for me it R1 rite ?

[chaz84720]

id better not watch this cause i dont want to know how t odefeat mantis that will ruin the experience for me. but who ever wants to can watch

[alster724]

First inject yourself with the syringe then shoot down the Psycho Mantis doll since it controls living bodies. Then use the Mantis doll then fire it on screaming mantis

[MrM201]

how do i grab her

[jfrback30]

how can u use CQC on meryl????

[rkky]

i m having trouble cqc meryl she keeps dodging

but still manage to kill mantis

[piruwwefan]

Where you get the doll?

[shok2death]

dont ask him,i think he hates questions,the doll drop by screaming mantis when you shoot her several times and then she will accidentaly drop one of her doll.but this one is different because its a psycho mantis design.

[Pwn3DBoyZ]

he doesnt speak english so im guessing he wont answer you

[SCIENTIST619]

you pick it up

[TerzinoSn93]

I can't using CQC on Meryl!!! WHY?

[shok2death]

did you use the syringe when you cqc her?

[TerzinoSn93]

Yes!!! but don't worry, I have another road to defeat Mantis, whithout using Syringe on meryl (sorry for my English...I'm Italian)

[shok2death]

no.its ok,me i'm a filipino,my english is bad sometimes ,too.enjoy metal gear!!!!!

[TerzinoSn93]

Thank you!!! Metal gear?? it's the best game of the world! :-D

[alster724]

I am a Filipino also add me alster724 I enjoy Metal Gear Solid also. Btw, "Sorrow, my doll" is the best line in the battle

[shok2death]

mabuhay philippines!

[aznjedi2]

the sorrow doll is really only good for getting items if your too lazy to pick up and drop a body

[heavenlydevil47]

whoa so you just shoot her with her own doll and she kills herself
