Guys, in the game Psycho Mantis is supposed to be able to read your mind and make the battle extremely hard. However, that's where the Hideo screen comes in. Notice how it's in the corner as if it were to say "Video" like the input of your TV :P. But that's the opportunity to switch your control to the 2nd port and that will keep Mantis from reading your mind.
For those who don't know, it is possible to beat him without the controller trick and even without the statue trick...in fact he can evade only a set number of attacks before you can actually hit him. In normal difficulty he evades 7 times, then the 8th attck always hits. I usually use punches for the first attacks, then switch to fa-mas to good damage.

try beating him no damage without changing the controller port, and in the description u say laying down is cheap yet u used chaff grenades on fox, and was standing where the tank wouldn't move.....and now u wanna call laying down cheap? lol figures since dodging them without laying down isn't difficult -_-
I got so pissed when Psycho Mantis and I had a dot of health left and all my weapons had no bullets left but I had one grenade so I threw it and it killed Psycho Mantis but it also killed me because I was too close...
This guy freaks me out. But the fight was fun. It was however weird that the screen said HIDEO until you changed the controller port. It took me and my dad forever to figure it out.
People,I have to ask something..I have played that game millions of times in PS.But how can I change controller port in ePSXe,cuz i now play it on ISO and i cant beat Mantis without even bandana!Thx in advance..
you can die... and then after that call someone and then they will tell you to destroy the statues that way he wont be able to read your mind thus you kill him easly
What's the difference between difficulties? Besides having no radar (and I think damage since this is a no damage game) I don't see any difference, and I played in Very Easy.
nice video bro

Meh, mantis was a cool character and the intro was nice too, but the fight itself i find dull and lame.

Mantis sure has a creepy laugh. The muffling from the Gas-Mask makes it even more sinister.

Thats why Metal Gear is so fucking awesome!
It goes where no game has gone before, and the cutscene before the battle is fun too ;)

Hmm.. I didn't know one could just shoot him at point blank range. Maybe I was too scared to go near him? =p
Anyway, great challenge, as always, GarlandG.

FATALFURYKID 3 years ago
You hold X while running. And from what I understand, it's only possibly in certain versions. This is the PAL version.

Yeah thanks just did it a few second ago. It does work on the NTSC version though.

I like how that was put into place. It also applies if for any reason the controller 2 port was broken on the PS1.

the enemies can't see and hear as far than in very easy and I think you have less ammo and can find and carry less rations in Expert
