[@KicktheSky34]

Tried and true methods. Important: I was only able to duplicate this after switching to the level 4 active decoy, anything higher seems to have too much impact force to keep her on top of the ruin. In addition, you need to try and angle her towards the stairs. She runs away if she falls off the platform any other way. Also, she doesn't always jump to that platform from the arch unless you actually mark and watch her. You just need to hit her four times before she backs up onto the steps, then one punch/kick combo should be enough to finish it. (

[@khlad.t8028]

I got really lucky. At first, it didn't work, but on the second try I just a spammed decoy at her, active it when she got up but jumped after the third decoy, but fortunately, that broke her AI, she just started jumping back and forth to the same spot without her rifle, so I did the decoy trick until the last hit finished her with my hand, cuz ran I out of decoys.

[@rayman17578]

​@@thetkidaI just wasted 2 minutes of my life

September 2023 still working thank you! Make sure that you try to sneak from the right side to her, when she goes to the second spot. If she faces the stairs even a little, she will just disappear.

[@abimas2258]

still working 01/17/2021 the strategy is very very tricky, and you will probably fail many times, you gotta be quick and patient. I will try to give some tips, although my english is very broken. 1 - Follow his steps precisely, do not add or take anything that he does. 2 - Take D-Dog with yourself, he will come in handy. 3 - The decoys are very tricky, you have to put it a little bit straight ahead of her gun, so she doesn't look at u. If she notices you she will flee away.

I hope that makes sense I am not a native speaker

[@nakedsnake4248]

​@whoknows8223 that doesn't complete all tasks tho. 1 is take her down without firearms

[@Stinkyremy]

They probably patched this out. I think when the game came out they were watching very closely and patching out any sort of cheese strats for at least the harder missions and tasks like this. They patched out a lot of stuff over the initial few months. Patched in her being able to be got back as well (unless it was meant to be like that, kojima trolling us and was meant to be patched back in anyway) Funny because it took them a long time to patch bugs that stopped me from being able to 100% the game. Some blueprints were completely missing.

[@Ivotas]

Tried that a lot of times, doesn't work. She always disappears after the first successful hit. :(

[@-esden-]

Yeah, tried this several times and she jumps every time after the first knock down by active decoy. They must've patched this maybe? Anyone else had success in 2018/9?

[@jeromeking46]

[@-esden-]

@@jeromeking46 nah, I had to walk away from it for a bit and finish up a couple of tasks I missed. It's drivin me cur-crazy! You can't even stun her with d-dog. I'm gonna go back to my last method where I started to make some headway: shoot her with the Brennan till her health's low enough, order a rain strike and try and get her with the supply drop while she dances in the rain. That's gotta work next time (well, somewhere in the next 25 times!). Lmk, if you work it out.

[@-esden-]

@@Novus_art I haven't done it cos I needed to save GMP for upgrades. But I can tell you this: you can shoot her as many times as you like, even w/tank, but the very last thing to take out her last bit of health must not be firearm, like stun arm, supply drop, shooting loose rock above her head (can see w/nvg). Also have you made use of the weather mod to call in rain - it makes her dance/distracted. I think it has to be trial and error with all the dif methods cos she is never truly predictable imo

[@-esden-]

@@Novus_art @Jerome King You guys beat it yet? Just did it FINALLY and it couldn't have been easier. Cred to this KZbinr: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqOsn3SZmNZjqa8 It only took me one weapon drop even though his took more. Amazing!

[@SammyFuqU]

@@rolexistimeless I got it to work. You have to follow his exact path to where she's at. Stand underneath the tower & look up, she'll shoot and jump. Immediately as soon as she jumps, run towards where she jumped and croucnh just as you get close to her. Walk up the stairs, throw the active decoy, and press R2 & Y button to pop it. Now, she will immediately fall and jump away. Drop & pop another decoy, so she'll only aim at them. Then just follow her around in your scope, shoot her with the ZZZ sniper when she stops and boom, EASY S rank. I recorded it if you want to watch, as this KZbinr's method doesn't work anymore.

I just used the lightning stun arm and I passed it with an S Rank. Except I didn't get to close to her. I just used it at the distance the electricity arm can hit her.

[@20mat]

I figured out a new method while doing the whole "replay the boss fight 6 times" thing, if you copy this dude's method but instead of throwing decoys, you pull out either the serval semi-automatic or the bolt-action when you sneak up behind her and headshot her, after she'll jump over to where you spawned, just pre-aim at that location and hit her one more time anywhere, doesn't have to be a headshot, and that's it, fight's over- it's WAY more consistent. Might help you, idk.

[@Bowen_Windcalibur]

10/28/2022 I tried this and I think they patched it. Using the AM MRS-73 NL Tranq and moving the second she shoots at you and returning fire just worked for me. I also made use of Decoy/Active Decoys to make openings. Also I managed to get an S Rank using the method I just mentioned. Typing this as the Score Screen is on my TV.

I tried and used this method 5 minutes ago. Had the same problem that it doesnt work first. Then I figured out that you have to place the decoy so that quite falls back to the steps, as seen in this video. If she sees you she will immediately run of and you placed the decoys wrong. Keep trying needed about 10 tries to make It work. Good luck.

M Gk im trying this rn. I think it's patched :(

[@mgk5856]

@@AaronHolder99 I found a way to beat the mission. Mark her and call supply drop. I know that she avoids to be hit by it but it can be done. When she sees you she usually fires one shot and then if she sees you again it just shows you that white sign. So what I did was,hide,mark her and called supply drop,when the supply drop is 8-10 meters above her just stand up from your hiding spot just for a second for her to see you and try to shoot you. That will distract her enough for the supply drop to hit her.

2022/2023 this is a genuine valid approach even if she jumps away just make sure you stay the hell away from the grenade she drops as she jumps and that tower is a really easy place to snipe her from

[@LeviatanCortez]

For everyone who is trying this in 2021: Suply Drop works only 3 times, so before doing that, shoot Quiet with the ZZZ sniper until the blue bar is less than half, then use Suply Drop. Note 1: The mission only requires the LAST damage to be non-lethal (Suply Drop), so you can attack with anything you want first. Note 2: When the Suply Drop is close to 10 meters from her, quickly exit the cover so that she shoots at you, so she cannot avoid Suply Drop. Note 3: I tried the rocket arm, gas bombing and ZZZ sniper shots as the last damage, but everything went wrong. Use Suply Drop at the end that works. Note 4: At night it all seems to work better, but I'm not sure.
