How to Kill Vamp in Metal Gear Solid 4

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a game for the PlayStation 3. The Metal Gear Solid series has characters that are fantasy based, with super human capabilities. Vamp is the boss character for chapter four of Metal Gear Solid 4, which takes place in the "Shadow Moses" stage. To defeat Vamp, a particular method and proper tools are required. He will revive himself without fail after you successfully deplete his life bar or psych gauge.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Syringe Rail gun

1. Press "Start" to get into your menu the instant the fight begins. Go into your Items menu and put the Syringe into your active items. Equip a weapon that is familiar to you. The Rail Gun seems to work particularly well against Vamp. Only a few fully charged shots will deplete his whole life bar.

2. Position the Syringe and your weapon in the equipped items box. Both of these items are necessary for defeating Vamp.

3. Deplete Vamp's life bar. Hold the "L1" button and continue peppering Vamp with shots until his life bar is completely gone. When his life bar is empty, Otacon will declare victory over your headset. Vamp will fall to the ground, only to get up in a daze almost immediately.

4. Grab Vamp immediately by holding the "R1" button when he initially gets up. Put away any weapons you have ready by tapping the "R2" button. When you have him, press the Triangle button to inject Vamp with the Syringe.

5. Watch the cut scene. Raiden will come to your aid against Vamp. A wave of Geckos will attack. Use your Rail Gun to eliminate the Geckos while Raiden finishes Vamp. This will take roughly 4 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• The M82A2 rifle and the rail gun will be your main weapons against the Geckos. One head shot from a fully charged rail gun will kill a Gecko outright. The M82A2 will take three or four shots.
