true. his past is indeed tragic and how much he was despised, which turned him into who he was.

[@pidgeonpatrol861]

Especially since the original guide book sets up he’s not even the one doing this- he’s urged on by the parasitic nature of his own powers and the evil of the minds he’s encountered. According to the original guide, he’s trying to get someone to kill him “as he believes that the parasite within him will disappear [upon his death], allowing him a brief moment of piece.”

[@toastedravis]

None of FOXHOUND were heartless (save for maybe Liquid), that’s why they are the best MGS cast of antagonists of all the games IMO. You walk away from each of their deaths feeling like they are human because they open up in their final moments to reveal something deeper about themselves. Mantis, Wolf and Raven were not evil -they were simply on the opposite side of the battlefield.

[@gfys756]

With the advent of the internet, there is no way it could ever be done again. Sure, you could possibly do the memory reading part by looking at save files and creating scripted parts for them but utilizing the puzzle solving elements OUTSIDE of the game would easily be ruined by the internet just revealing how to beat the boss using controller port swapping or how to get around the Hideo screen. Psycho Mantis truly is a boss fight that will never be done again. It makes his boss fight truly unique.

I'm here after reading this review. For example, there’s the case of a boss fight against Psycho Mantis, who could read Snake’s mind and predict his actions. The game’s intended solution was plugging the controller to a different port. He also could read the memory card (it was back in those days of PlayStation) and mock some games you played before based on game saves. It made players someone more than just holders of the controller. Source Top 10 Fun Games That Break The Fourth Wall 😅

This may sound crazy, but imagine if Psycho Mantis was a woman. Hell, Mantis's physique even LOOKS rather feminine! I recently was looking at a fan casting of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie with Oscar Isaac, and the person posting it listed actress Tatiana Maslany as Psycho Mantis. This intrigued me, and I realized Mantis is one of those characters that potentially COULD have an interchangeable gender. To be honest, I found the idea of female Psycho Mantis kind of interesting. Thoughts?

I can see that

He's skinny as all Hell, I can see his ribs. I think Mantis hasn't been eating. And wasn't there Screaming Mantis? ... Well, that's in MGS 4, tho.

[@sgauden02]

@@0_dearghealach_083 True, but Screaming Mantis wasn't quite the same.

Hi there! I'm making a video about Kojima and Metal Gear and was wondering if you'd give permission for me to use your recording of this boss fight? I'll of course credit on screen and in the video description. Thanks in advance - Karn

I played this game on PC, so Mantis couldn't predict my moves. He was pretty easy. You can duck under 90% of his attacks.

What if you use an emulator and you have an Xbox 360 controller for the PC is he able to read that because my controller shakes right after he says he can shake my controller

I imagine the screen going black and "HIDEO" appearing in the corner was a lot freakier on the CRTs of the 90s than it is on the LCDs and OLEDs of the modern age.

[@ephemeraltimekeeper8127]

The fact that this boss can take over your controller and can read your mind up to the point where the game breaks the 4th wall to tell you to switch the controller port to defeat him makes this one of the most unique bosses in all of gaming history.

[@denisskenderovic3707]

This game man ... pure genius.

[@miamimagicians]

The story in this game is off the chain

[@hazegrayprepper4396]

I played through this game multiple times after it came out. Seriously one of my Top 5 favorite games of all time!!

[@AmelpsXett]

He said that im poor soldier and reckless cuz i save rarely And my memory is completely clean cuz im on emulator

[@st3ve874]

You probably saved on your emulator not on the actual game save itself that's the only thing that he can read

[@AmelpsXett]

@@st3ve874 no shit

[@AbdullaSulaimani]

Do you notice the HIDEO video signal that appears during this boss fight? I have when I watched my brother play this game back then.

[@dylan32c]

I just saw Evil dead 2 and the laughting scene in the cabin instantly reminded me to this scene before the battle. Was this inspired by Evil dead?

[@AdamHelige-ci6dq]

I love how he yells Why ! I can't read You on my favorite boss fight in whole videogame
