Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

For a final boss it's surprisingly easy, provided you know what to do of course. So, sword fight, one on one. The tactics are very simple - we stand in the block (hold L1), wait for him to carry out his attack, then attack. Solidus has only 3 unblockable techniques - a flat strike with both katanas, a sweep with tentacles and a jump to the roof from a height; a simple somersault to the side saves you from all these attacks. He also constantly spams missiles - we just run to the side, and as an option (you need perfect timing), the missiles can be destroyed with katana strikes. When HP drops below 50%, Solidus will throw off his tentacles and the battle will become slightly easier. Here he will constantly dash all over the roof, just watch him (in the block, of course) and turn Raiden in the right direction in time. If you get caught in the flames and catch fire, equip/remove the BDU (military uniform) several times, the fire will not even have time to cause damage.

Extreme . Everything is the same, except that he will act a little faster, don’t yawn. This time you can't run away from the missiles (and destroying them is suicidal), so when he fires them, jump towards him and you can immediately attack, he won't be able to block your attacks.

It should also be noted that there will be torture in front of the boss . At Extreme this is perhaps the most difficult moment in the game, torture endurance in its purest form, and your strength will be tested in the literal sense of the word. You should knock as fast as possible (5-7 clicks per second) for 15 seconds, otherwise first the stamina will instantly evaporate, and then all the lives. Thank the gods that the HD version simplified the torture; on PS2 you had to spam the tringle for 60 seconds. Remember that in extreme mode health is not restored and you will start the battle with Solidus with the amount of HP that remains after the torture.
