This page will help you to defeat the various bosses in Metal Gear Solid 2.

Olga
Attacks:


 * USP
 * Grenade

Olga will begin by shooting at you, interspersed with talking. Get in as many attacks as you can here. As soon as she stops talking, shoot the light and two closest catches on the cloth. This way she cannot blind you. Now run from cover to cover, with the box equipped if you have it, tricking her into shooting where you are not. Get a shot in whenever she is not looking, and she goes down easily.

Gurlukovich Soldiers
Attacks:


 * Machine gun
 * Grenade
 * Melee

The soldiers will be shooting at you from down the hall. You can hide behind the crate here, and there is ammo and a ration behind you. Crouch behind the crate and shoot in first person view (R1) and peek to the left (L2) and up (L2 & R2) to get head shots in. If they throw a grenade, stand up and quickly retreat, then resume the strategy.

When you have shot enough soldiers, a final group of three will run up to you in a line. The leader will kick you over and shoot you while you are on the floor. To avoid this, stand up and shoot at their heads repeatedly before they reach you.

= Plant =

Fortune
Attacks:


 * Railgun

You'll encounter Fortune in the bottom of Strut A, after dealing with the bomb. She will constantly shoot at you with her railgun, leaving you little room to jump out and shoot at her - even if you do try shooting her, you'll notice that your bullets are magically redirected mid-flight, and none of them will ever hit her. Don't even think about running in and punching her, as she'll most likely shoot you before you even make it to her.

So your only option here is to take cover. You may end up having to switch covers during the fight, as Fortune's railgun is powerful enough to destroy just about anything in the room. If she doesn't see you, she'll shoot randomly until the room is wrecked. The fight ends at this point.

Fatman
Attacks:


 * Roller Skates
 * C4
 * Machine Gun

Fatman's battle has some unique conditions - he will plant C4 around the helipad, and it's your job to find where he's placed it and freeze it with your coolant spray before it explodes. But you also have to worry about killing Fatman, and good luck catching him (as he's wearing rollerblades and can skate around the helipad as he sees fit). Also, don't get in his way when he's skating - he can knock you over easily.

The bombs that Fatman plants can usually be found on the large industrial shipping crates - on the sides, on top, or underneath - but always within reach of your coolant. You may have to crawl under the crates to reach the explosives.

When attacking Fatman, remember to aim for the head - his bomb blast suit absorbs just about any blow (though he will still be knocked over). Your best opportunity to shoot Fatman is when he has to stop and rest (you'll hear his heavy breathing).
