10 All Time Greatest Boss Battles From Metal Gear Franchise
7. Vulcan Raven (Metal Gear Solid)
He's already tried, and failed, to put you down with a tank, so here comes Vulcan Raven once again. This time, he's brought a ridiculously-huge minigun to the party instead.
A ritualistic shaman with a penchant for the cold, big weapons and ravens, good old Vulcan waits for Snake in a freezing-cold warehouse. Snake's no match for Vulcan Raven's minigun in a straight up fight. Instead, you must think tactically.
Using the environment to your advantage, you can use Nikita missiles, Claymores, Stinger missiles and your other firearms to strike at Raven when he's not expecting it. You've got to be on your toes at all times - despite his massive gun, Vulcan can run at speed and will come at you suddenly if you're not careful.
Claymores are particularly effective at putting Raven down. Only problem is you'll have to make sure you've got your mine detector equipped, as you can quite easily blow yourself up too if you're not careful!
Once you've finally put him down, Vulcan Raven will surrender some useful information to Snake and then proceeds to willingly be eaten by his own flock of ravens. Grim.
