·Multi-source verified (68/68)

Screaming Mantis is a unique boss battle that plays on psychological warfare. She controls the minds of other Beauty and the Beast Corps members and even Snake himself. The key to defeating her is to use the Syringe to break her mind control. Once she's vulnerable, you'll need to shoot the two 'Psycho Mantis' dolls she carries. This will temporarily stun her, allowing you to inflict damage. Be aware of the controlled soldiers and the environment, which she can manipulate. After her health is depleted, she will enter her Beast form, becoming more aggressive. Continue to target her weak points and use the Syringe as needed.
