* Try shooting down the hornet's nests on Ocelot's side of the ravine. He'll have to stop to swat the hornets down, which gets you a free shot - but don't use it unless you're near the end of the battle, because Ocelot will do the same to you (and unlike him, you have no way of defending yourself against the hornets). | * Try shooting down the hornet's nests on Ocelot's side of the ravine.

* Pull out a pistol (either one works) and wait for a while without shooting. Ocelot will challenge you to a quick-draw duel, but you don't need to actually participate - you can seize the moment to grab a free shot. Don't bother aiming for the head here; it takes too long, since he'll see you cheating and open fire. | * Pull out a pistol (either one works) and wait for a while without shooting.

* While Ocelot is reloading (it usually takes a while, considering he's got two guns) or otherwise taking cover, use grenades to flush him out or score some extra damage (any kind will do).

* When The Fear's stamina goes down to 2 bars, he'll start looking for food. Keep some dead food on hand for a while and let it rot for just this purpose. When The Fear says he's hungry, throw the rotten food to him, and he'll head straight for it, eat it, and promptly puke his guts out. This gets you a (relatively) free shot at him with the shotgun, or better yet, the Mk22, since this is also the easiest way to score a stamina kill. | * When The Fear's stamina goes down to 2 bars, he'll start looking for food.

* There is an extremely cheap trick here that entails popping a Fake Death Pill, waiting until the Fear comes to investigate, then reviving yourself and using a rolling attack. This only works once, but you can bombard him with Stun Grenades and Mk22 shots while he's on the ground. If he survives to return to the trees, you can be sure his stamina will be critically low. | * There is an extremely cheap trick here that entails popping a Fake Death Pill, waiting until the Fear comes to investigate, then reviving yourself and using a rolling attack. This only works once, but you can bombard him with Stun Grenades and Mk22 shots while he's on the ground. In addition, once he is stunned, you can fire on him with an automatic weapon, which will drain his stamina instead of his health for the stun grenade's duration. If he survives to return to the trees, you can be sure his stamina will be critically low. | ||

* After his stamina gets very low he will issue a prayer to the forest spirits to regenerate LIFE and stamina. You'll know when he does so because the lights will get all funky and he'll become very conspicuous; if he is not interrupted, he'll be almost fully healed and you might as well load, unless you fancy doing half the battle over. | * After his stamina gets very low he will issue a prayer to the forest spirits to regenerate LIFE and stamina.

* If you want to get The End's Mosin-Nagant tranq rifle, you have to knock him out. Sneak up on him and jab a couple of Mk.22 rounds into his skull. He might start running and drop a flash bomb, but turn away from the blast and you won't be blinded. Turn back around and you can get a few more shots while he's running away (if you're good enough). | * If you want to get The End's Mosin-Nagant tranq rifle, you have to knock him out.

* A good way to see where The End has gone if he does manage to blind you with a flash bomb is to equip the thermal goggles - you will be able to see his footprints for a short time after he has moved, allowing you to track him with ease. | |||
* Every time you load a save in Sokrovenno, the game checks the PS2's internal clock. If more than a day has passed since saving the game, a cutscene will play and Snake will automatically be defeated (so always be sure to duck back into Svatogornyj North to save). If more than a week has passed, however, another cutscene will reveal that The End has perished of old age! (You won't get the Mosin-Nagant this way, though.) | * Every time you load a save in Sokrovenno, the game checks the PS2's internal clock.

* The End also happens to fall asleep from time to time, and this is a perfect time to put a few rounds through his head. | |||

This battle works much like the one at the abandoned factory in that a permanent Evasion status is in effect. Unlike the End, you do not have to defeat them, merely get by them. The tunnel entrance is open. Just remember: silenced weapons whenever possible, and the guards will completely ignore tranquilized comrades. | ||

* Walk to the end of the river, avoiding the ghosts of people you've killed. The Cobra Unit (The Pain, The Fear, The End, and The Fury) will be here regardless of whether you used the tranquilizer to defeat them or not, but if anyone else appears and you're going for a no-kill run, you're screwed. | * Walk to the end of the river, avoiding the ghosts of people you've killed.

* The Sorrow will also occasionally shoot a psi-blast at you. Stay on either edge of the river, and when he shoots you, start walking diagonally in the other direction. If you get hit, that's OK too--the animations you see are pretty cool and it doesn't do all that much damage. | * The Sorrow will also occasionally shoot a psi-blast at you.
