10 Most Infuriating Escort Missions In Gaming History

7. Eva - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

One of the few minor blips in an otherwise amazing game is the escort mission near the end of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, where Big Boss has to protect a wounded Eva, and to make it worse, there are guards hot on your trail. Given how easy most of the latter part of the game is, this is definitely the biggest difficulty spike, and makes for a pretty frustrating experience. The real problem is that though Eva is mostly a helpful, likeable character, here she's injured and so her stamina drains away like a tap, meaning that you constantly have to feed her to keep her going (and if you run low on food, God help you). You have to take down the guards who attack, move forward a few feet, call Eva forward, feed her, rinse and repeat for what seems like an age. In the end, I opted to just knock Eva out and drag her across the map myself, as it meant having total control of the situation and not needing to worry about stamina. Still, this is way more challenging than the final boss fight that follows immediately after, and something I dread every time I replay MGS3.
