10 Genius Ways To Beat Video Game Bosses You Totally Missed

2. Sniper Wolf (Metal Gear Solid)

The Master Fallout

Although Sniper Wolf is much too hail and hearty to expire after a week of inactivity - hypothermia not withstanding - she can be beaten through inattentiveness.

Like her Metal Gear Solid 3 counterpart, the first MGS' sniper supremo can be something of an ordeal if you try to beat her at her own game. The clue's in the name 'Sniper' Wolf; of course she has the edge behind a scope.

What she doesn't have is eyes in the back of her head. Setting the rifle down in the snow and instead taking her from behind with a series of well-placed, remote-controlled Nikita missiles is a much easier way to send Wolf to the dogs. Bit of howler on her part, really.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
