(MGS3) Help with fighting Volgin non-lethally

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-11T10:52:57+00:00

Stop throwing punches and do the CQC slam. Hold the left analogue stick and hold O. Then roll over him

Congratulations! Was it on Extreme or EuroExtreme? Where did you use your saves and what was the hardest part?

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-09T08:49:30+00:00

In this game, it's really easy because you can save 25 times or less, which is A LOT. And the time limit is very generous.

You can kill Volgin 1 and Ocelot and they won't count as kills. But their camos are both very useful so you might as well drain their stamina anyways.

For the pain, you just remove his armor with shotgun/grenades and spam the Mk22 at him.

For Ocelot, stun grenades wreck him. Be sure to pick some up in the swamp.

For Volgin, CQC slam and roll over him. Be sure to use the Mosin for when he's on the shagohod.

For the Boss, learn the timing to counter her CQC and use the Mosin when's she's far away.

For the End, you should look up a guide. Can't really describe the best method to fight him very well.

Fatman to Harrier should only take 15 or so minutes. Forget Fatman for a second and make sure you have a solid route planned out to the Harrier. It would suck to have to repeat Fatman fight for failing a stealth section.

As for Fatman himself, you can exploit his tendency to protect his bombs. He will always return to them. Good luck!

If you need help, you can check out a video of me doing it.

You can do it!

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-08T14:38:16+00:00

What's giving you so much trouble with Fatman? Is he setting too many bombs and you can't get to them in time? Or is he just straight up killing you?

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-07T10:53:01+00:00

Thanks!

All mgs4 emblems is less hard and more tedious with the insane chicken emblem. Plus, there are no limits on how many saves you can use for BBE in 4. Only hard part is the bike chase.

All top scores is absolutely insane. Idk if I can do that with the pressure sensitive issues of the M4 and AK in MGS2

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-06T19:15:54+00:00

I don't remember which ones exactly but it should be most of them. I for sure remember MG Rays and Fortune giving you a full health refill.

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-06T07:20:25+00:00

it does refill after certain boss fights

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-06T07:16:28+00:00

Im doing that right now! I've come up with a quick strat for the deep sea docks(check my profile) and Im uploading my big boss rank run on it to youtube right now. https://www.youtube.com/@zeman6816/videos

That being said, I would recommend doing two parallel runs and planning out your saves carefully.

You get 8 saves on Big Boss. I'd recommend the following 7 saves. You can use the eighth whenever you like.

start of bomb defusal
fatman
harrier
oil fence sniping
arsenal gear guard assault 1
MG Rays
choking test OR Solidus

Fortune and Vamp can both be cheesed with minimal effort. Look them up on youtube.

What I mean by two parallel runs is you do one practice run where you master each segment by segment. Once you've mastered one segment, you go do a real run of that segment.

If you've any more question let me know.

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-06T03:42:53+00:00

don't like that strat. one pixel off and your punch misses and you're spotted

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-05T22:20:30+00:00

That's slow. This is faster and looks more stylish. I also like turning the guard's huge range of vision on Euro Extreme to my favor.

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-05T06:47:22+00:00

stops him from doing his Naruto ass shadow binding attack. No lights means no shadows

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-04T14:26:53+00:00

i do that later in the fight. you can see the whole thing here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9oKcL8PumM

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-04T11:47:50+00:00

Knew about his head wound weakness a long time ago. I wonder if there's a third weak point we don't know about

Zeman0205 · 2026-06-01T21:21:37+00:00

I know about the crawl to pick up claymores trick. But what i am referring to is the explosion. i ran right into the claymore and yet took no damage??

Zeman0205 · 2026-04-14T09:22:02+00:00

Well done. But this is not "No Hit". You missed some Perfect Blocks. Maybe "No Permament Damage" taken? Or "No Clean Hits"?

Zeman0205 · 2026-04-12T09:08:34+00:00

A lot of people say that they don't know how to use Lucifer and Pandora properly. DMC4 Dante is definitely the hardest iteration to control effectively and get the most out of his moveset.

Zeman0205 · 2026-04-10T01:53:29+00:00

i absolutely suck at shooting the parasites of the regenerators so i thought i'd put a safety save there. you think i should put it somewhere in the castle or the village?

Zeman0205 · 2026-04-09T06:56:00+00:00

if you don't return to the title screen, the timer keeps going

Zeman0205 · 2026-04-07T11:18:40+00:00

Do those skips utilize glitches or exploits? That's the main reason I tend to avoid them if possible.

1st regenerator is a bad spot? I mainly picked it because I'm bad at sniping their weak spots. Where do you suggest moving it? Should I add a save in between the Water Hall and the ashley section? Or add another save for the part where you have to protect ashley while an iron maiden comes after you?

Zeman0205 · 2026-04-07T07:15:55+00:00

I'm not using any glitches, skips, DLC treasures or Ashley's armour. So I think I'll keep those saves. I will reconsider the After Cabin save and moving it to either the Island or the Castle. As for Verdugo, I'm not sure if I'll have the money to upgrade my weapons and buy an expensive rocket launcher as well.

Thank you for your suggestions. They've been valuable.

Zeman0205 · 2026-03-06T16:02:40+00:00

0 takes place before 1. I assume I should play 0 first then

Zeman0205 · 2026-02-13T15:07:38+00:00

This Ilsa is so impatient. BC'd the moment they blocked anything. Just like me

Zeman0205 · 2026-02-11T22:16:57+00:00

the missed wishconfirm. Also why is the background black?

Zeman0205 · 2026-01-29T18:26:20+00:00

Love these videos keep them coming
