ALERT! Our revamped walkthrough for Snake Eater will prove most useful on your mission to destroy the Shagohod, once and for all.
Boss: Volgin
Volgin erects an energy shield when he’s attacked from
the front so you’ll have to attack him
from the side or the rear to inflict damage. Another concern is when you’re hit by Volgin’s
electricity bolt, any weapon hand also suffers--some ammunition explodes! It’s better to
holster your weapon between attacks in case you’re struck.
Spot Volgin charging his bolt and then run away from the projectile and toward Volgin’s side. Equip your weapon and attack as quickly as possible. When you hit Volgin’s shield, holster the weapon and repeat. Occasionally Volgin recharges his energy at a panel in the left corner. While his back is turned, blast him with your weaponry.
And perhaps the most difficult problem: you must defeat Volgin in under five minutes or the explosives detonate and you perish in the explosion.
Midway through the battle (inflicting significant damage) Volgin mixes up his attacks. He’ll fire a multi-pronged electricity bolt; just remain in between the bolts to avoid damage. Volgin will also use his powers like a machine gun. Run and perform rolls to avoid most projectiles and move to Volgin’s side or back to attack and inflict damage.
You can acquire Volgin’s camouflage by defeating him using the mk22 only. You’ll find additional mk22 ammunition in the northwest corner of the room and it respawns on occasion if you need more. Use the same strategies outlined above but just use the mk22 only. Grab the cold war uniform after Volgin falls.
For a couple of additional ways to distract Volgin, try putting on the officer uniform and mask. Volgin will recognize Raikov and become quite upset giving you an opportunity to attack. Toss out some of the glowcap mushrooms that restore battery life when you eat; they have an effect on Volgin too but not one that he’ll be happy with. Once again use the opportunity to inflict some damage. Try tossing stun grenades behind Volgin or using chaff to disrupt Volgin’s lightning attacks.
I tried using the Yoshi guide on gamefaqs.com it was useful, but the Yoshis on the runway during the chase are hard to hit, as is the one at the end when you fight the boss. They are hard to see, let alone hit! I got all Yoshis yp to that point, and gave up, for me that kind of ruins the fun of the game.
I am tryng to get the "whale" rank and capture all 48 animals, but can only get 45-47, can anyone help?, I need to know what all the animals are and where to find them?
After playing This game for what seems like the 100th time i noticed there was a climbable tree in Svatagornja west that had a place at the top where you could stand or crouch on, but when i went and restarted the game it wasn't there anymore, if it was I couldn't find it, it seems that there are a few things that are like that, they are there and you notice them, but when you go back to see them later they arfe gone!
Does any one know what the best effective way to stamina kill volgin is?, I have tried the stun guns, there's not emough time and a combo of stun guns and stun grenades, and I only get him half way, then time runs out!
@PadamanI got it, but I still cant get the cold war camo, but oh well, the stealthcamo is far better than all !btw what did you use for the photo camo in granins office? and... where are the locations of that "legendary snake" the tsukinoko?
@JGlascock for tsukinoko granininy(sp?) gorki south at night. use mousetraps by the closest climbalbe tree to the entry. i'll send you the pic for the photo-camo tomorrow
Is the stealth camo unlockable on the 3ds version?, if so, how do you sneak past the scientists when leaving Granins office so they don't cause an alert to go, since the stealth camo is only unlockable with no alerts in the game.
2 more questions, about MGS 3d, how do you get the crocodile cap?, and has the GA-KO uniform been switched for the fruit uniform for 3ds, I could not find the GA-KO unifoem in the northeastern end of the swamp, only the fruit uniform. one last question, what are all the obtainable uniforms and face paints and weapons?
On MGs what is the radio frequency to find TheEnds location on the map/, also what is the set of numbers displayed by the floating figure in the cut scene right before you fight Volgin? (MGS for 3ds).
1 Like @JGlascock Little Late, But It Is Not A Codec Frequency, It Is The Konami code, Up Up Down down Left Right Left Right B A. And That Is the Sorrow With A Timer for the C3.
@Padaman @JGlascock do you have to put it on pause, a different screen or what, because if the game isnt paused, it just makes snake move up and down, switch his weapons, and items, and thats it, but I do have a tutorial on YouTube on how to find The End (JGlascock100 on youTube).
@JGlascock I Havent Exactly Tried It My Self, A Friend Of Mine Said It Worked And He Is Usually A Reliable Source Of Information. Have You Tried It?
@Padaman @JGlascock will this work on the 3ds?, if so I will try it, next run through, right now I have killed him early and heading to the Grannin lab on a Yoshi search run.
