Now im nt going to brag about mgs2 because i was very dissapounted when i completed it in a day. For those of you that are stuck on a boss i will try to help you on your way to completion of the game.
Fatman: lay claymores around the edgaes of the platform because this is where Fatman will usually skate off to after weaving inbetween the piles of boxes. If you dont have any claymores try to hide from Fatman until he gets out of breath and stops to take a breather, once he is resting, kreep up behind him and use the laser sighting to aim at his head. You can also chuck a stun granade at him when he is resting, he will be knocked to the floor and will be a sitting duck for you to kick his but.
Fortune: There is only one thing you can do when facing Fortune and that is run and dodge her unrealisticly big gun. This is because she is set on a timer. Put up with that bullet dodgeing freak for a certain amount of time and you will be allowed to continue on your way to complete the game.
Harrier: The only tip i can really give you to defeat that multi-million dollar plane is to watch where the harrier flies of to. You should be able to see a little spec of black in the distance. Aim your stinger at this dot until a red box surrounds it. When you ee the red box pull the trigger and release a pile of explosives into the front of the harrier. Unfortunately this is the only tip i can give, hopefully there will be more tips to defeat the harrier in peoples posts.
Vamp: Now this is a very simple boss to kill. You could use eather the M4 or the AK-47 and fill his afterlife bodie full of led or simply chuck a couple of stun grenades into the water when he is in it and he will die in a couple of seconds.
Vamp(the second seeing): This is surely the easiest part of the game. Rather than using two of your powerfull PSG1 bullets you could use the tranquiliser sniper and use only one bullet.
Metal Gear Rays: This is another hard boss. My only tip would be is to use your stinger and shoot one of the rays in the knee, once the ray is kneelt down shoot it in the head. This system takes away more damage than to just keep shooting the rays in the head. Another tip is to stay on the run. When a ray shoots the missiles out of their head run for a while and then kick their butts.
Solidus: This guy has a rediculous amount of health. Luckily, you only have to get it half way down to kill Solidus if you follow my instructions. Now there will be a couple of rations around the place, make sure you keep stocking up on these if you want to survive. My tip is to keep Solidus at the edge of the platform. Firstly get them mechancal arms of of him and get him to use his swords. Once you have done this, time your attacks and then swing at him with your sword. If you keep Solidus at the edge of the pkatform and keep attacking him with enough force he should lose his ballance, fall off of the edge and land next to George Washingtons statue.
well, thats the end of my hints post. I hope it helps you and i hope the posts flood in. Thanks alot, Shalashaka.

Good info there. I sugest you post it in the Hints section of SR. You may get yourself a GAD too....
You can knock Solidus off the edge? I was gonna try that but didnt think it would be possible. I'll try it if I decide to play through the game again.
Just wondering, the bit about Solidus where you say he falls off the edge, do you mean in the cut scene or you can actually knock him off.

sadly i done most of them the hardway but i aint done the last boss yet so i'll give that a try, a what can i say i aint a hard core gamer like savatt not everyone has to complete it in a day LOL
A tip for fighting Vamp the first time. Fire Nikita missiles at him:
At the very begining
When he jumps out of the water and lands on the other side. If you are quick the missile will hit him before he can stand up and dodge.
If he keeps nailing your shadow (after he has lost most of his health) then while he still has a lot of health left shoot out the lights so you dont leave a shadow.
