Today’s game is some more Metal Gear Solid 3. And specifically the last entry. I spent all day playing a Fox Hound run today. Got up at 9 and just spent 12 hours perfecting the entire run. Whole thing came out around 2 hours and 40 minutes. Because of how I tried to perfect it. With 9/20 injuries and 4 health segments lost.

The biggest challenge was The Pain. His arena didn’t have a lot of wiggle room and I didn’t have much ammo it grenades to knock away the bees. Thankfully it went by a whole lot quicker once I remembered the grenade camo and brown face camo. I hid under water and dodged grenades. Then came out, lobbed a few, and went back under. After that all the others were pretty easy. Though I had an issue with The Fear coming down and eating and recovering stamina. I wasn’t keeping an eye on time so I kept having to reload because I wasn’t afraid of going over the 5 hour limit.

The sorrow thankfully was easier after i realized I could stun the ghosts with a kick or a gun shot to save some of my precious health. Waded through there and got out in a few minutes.

After that I dealt with Volgin, and then came the real boss fight. The chase. It was hard getting through the chase segment because I was at the bare minimum health so a stray shot would take me out. I used the Cold War camo to at least keep enemies off my back and took them out. After 5 ish attempts I made it.

And with all that, I was done. I did The Boss’s fight, took her down pretty easily with a combo of QCC and AT Camo + Tranq Gun. Then got out of there and finished the run. After all that? I have to say it was an amazing challenge. It felt weirdly well balanced. I was expecting something on par with Halo 2 legendary. But it was closer to Halo CE. There were some challenges, but for the most part it was a fun battle. I feel pretty well accomplished
