Beating Psycho Mantis in Popstation.....HOW IN THE BLUE HELL??? :S

**Apoklepz** · January 5th, 2007, 04:41

Okay, I haven't got to that point yet....I just rescued Baker from Ocelot's grasp, Grey Fox Sliced his hand and escaped...etc. etc. BTW, the game crashes on Baker's "Muff" Explanation movie (the one about real live footage in Nuclear Facilities)...but you can bypass it by hitting the buttons as soon as you see the Rocket Launching.

....Anyways, I was just curious about how to fend off Mantis, since there's no switching around PSX Controller Ports this time around...I wish there's still a way around beating him.

I need feedback from anyone who's been this far already, but discussion is always welcome.:thumbup:

hmm.. dats weird i played metal gear and mine didnt crash during the video. Also to beat mantis u can jus shoot and destroy the two statues in the top corners of the room. After u do dat he should be easy to beat:thumbup:

Oh hey, thanks man.

bout the video...I was using my USA NTSC copy, straight oof my disk...and I just checked, and my PS2 plays the movie fine, so...yeah it's weird.

Anybody else getting this particular glitch?

I had this happen to me aswell, it also happened a bit later on when I was talking to Octogan, on another one of the videos, it seems to happen on some of the movie(black and white videos) bits.

Yeah, it blows....other than that, the whole game plays well...Just beat it last night. Stealth Mode, here I come!

i think you can also beet him buy using CWcheat and giving snake infinte health, but thats n00by.

BTW there is no way to switch discs

Yeah, I had that video snag too. I was wondering what Mantis would say when I didn't have any game saves on my card. He just tells me that my memory is clean. I'm about to try the statue trick...

That vid played fine for me. Bad rip, maybe? I got to Mantis, but deleted the game after that. Having only a 1 gb card sucks.

Rwar, How can I get on Disc 2? =( just killed Sniper Wolf in the second battle...

**gamerremag** · January 28th, 2007, 03:52

^cant you just play on disk 2 then load from the menu there? (i havent played metal gear that far, as my second disk cant be read by my ps2 AND I HAD THE DISK CLEANED BY A MACHINE AT GAMECRAZY)
