Find the Extreme bomb location and learn strategies for the Fortune and Fatman boss fights in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
Walkthrough
- 1If playing on Extreme, stand at the northwest corner of the water near the ladder, facing south.
- 2In first-person view, look up along the right wall, well above the grey shelf.
- 3Freeze the C4 high up on the beam.
- 4After Raiden reports the bomb threat is over, head back to the elevator room.
- 5Proceed forward for a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a cinematic event).
- 6Fortune, also known as "Lady Luck", arrives via the elevator.
- 7BOSS: FORTUNE AKA "LADY LUCK"
- 8You cannot defeat Fortune; this encounter is about survival.
- 9Try your best to take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (a mechanic to hide behind objects) with any object you can find and quickly find another when it gets destroyed.
- 10Stay away from the gas barrels, which will explode from Fortune's blasts.
- 11Other objects may fly once hit enough and can knock you down.
- 12Note the two boxes of SOCOM BULLET X 12 in the middle and right of the center area, and a RATION to the left.
- 13After some time, the elevator will beep and start descending.
- 14Continue avoiding Fortune's blasts until the elevator arrives.
- 15The two large crates towards the camera are useful for hiding late in the fight; stay behind them.
- 16Campbell will call to inform you about Fatman, who has placed C4 on the heliport (Strut E) with a 400-second timer.
- 17The battle with Fortune ends in a cutscene.
- 18After the cutscene, Raiden makes his way back up the elevator.
- 19Take note of the 400-second timer and proceed to the roof of Strut E.
- 20Equip the Mine Detector if you have it to spot two CLAYMORE mines by each of the two gates on the Strut A roof; crawl over them to get past safely while collecting them.
- 21Proceed inside on either side.
- 22In the Strut A Pump Room, take out the guard stretching at the bottom of the stairs on the west side.
- 23Be mindful of the guard on the east side of the office area.
- 24Use the knocking method or eliminate the guard and advance to the FA bridge on the right side.
- 25On the FA connecting bridge, a lone guard patrols; he will move down to the lower level.
- 26Enter Strut F warehouse.
- 27Wait for the guard around the corner to turn, then take him out.
- 28Quickly take the left path to avoid the guard on the right.
- 29Leave through the north door.
- 30On the EF connecting bridge, pass through to Strut E.
- 31In Strut E Parcel Room, take out the left guard or dash quickly along the wall to reach the stairs.
- 32Head out to the roof.
- 33Find the stairs up to the helipad on Strut E; SOCOM BULLET X 12 is at the top.
- 34There is a live C4 on the helipad marked "H", which your timer is tracking.
- 35Pull out the Coolant and freeze the C4.
- 36Enjoy the cutscene and meet Fatman.
- 37BOSS: FATMAN
- 38Fatman will plant bombs that you must freeze before the timer counts down.
- 39He plants two bombs initially, then three as the fight progresses.
- 40Keep Sensor A equipped to locate the C4s on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) (a small map display, often in a corner of the screen).
- 41The first C4 is to the east on small crates near the ledge.
- 42The other C4 is to the west, on the south side of the crate where the radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) cloud is.
- 43Freeze the C4s as soon as possible and shoot Fatman when he is near.
- 44To defeat Fatman non-lethally: punch, kick, and roll him to down him, then shoot him in the head with the M9. Shoot him in the head whenever he stands still.
- 45For a lethal kill, use the SOCOM.
- 46You must hit Fatman four times in a row with the SOCOM to knock him down, or punch/kick him.
- 47He will rise to his hands and knees with stars over his head; shoot him then.
