Metal Gear Solid V - The Man on Fire Boss Tips

Eventually you’ll get some one-on-one attention with the Man on Fire. This giant humanoid can absorb explosions, melt bullets and incinerate targets with heavy flame attacks. Bringing an explosion weapon, like a grenade launcher, will makes things easier.

When entering the hospital at the end of Mission 20 Skull Face will spot you, but instead of fighting he’ll call on his allies, the Telekinesis Boy and the Man on Fire, to burn you along with the hospital. Miller will attempt to extract you but the tunnel leading to the chopper will collapse due to the Man on Fire’s attack.

Like the beginning of the game The Man on Fire is weak to water. The open-field has two large water tanks, along with 3 mini-water tanks inside the exposed building, C4 will also work if you’re planning to avoid him: however the field is litter with tiny flame patches that will damage Snake if he gets too close. When the Man on Fire gets close immediately shoot the tank closest to him and call in the helicopter. Expect the pilot to take his sweet time, my recommendation is to call the chopper before shooting the tank to give you ample time to escape.

Once reignited The Man on Fire will attempt to shoot down the helicopter, speed is essential. If you run out of water tanks just survive long enough for it to start raining. This will cause The Man on Fire and the Psycho Kid to retreat. This will of course cost you time and disqualify your chance at an S ranking.
