Laughing Octopus is encountered in Act 1. She uses OctoCamo to blend into the environment and surprise Snake with melee attacks and ink projectiles. Her weak points are her head and the glowing points on her tentacles when she reveals them. Use the Solid Eye to track her. For a lethal approach, assault rifles and shotguns are effective. For non-lethal, tranquilizer rounds to the head are key. After her health is depleted, she enters her Beast form, becoming more aggressive. Stay mobile, use cover, and continue to target her weak points. Obtaining her doll requires a non-lethal takedown in both forms.
