10 Video Game Bosses You Can Trick Into Killing Themselves
2. The Fear (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)
Another boss in Metal Gear Solid 3 who you can trick into an unusual death, The Fear is an insanely cool character who uses a Predator-style cloaking device to hide himself from view as he darts between the tree branches up above.
It's quite an intimidating fight, because - without the use of thermal goggles, at least - he's a hard foe to keep track of, and his rapid movement speed can make him a tough target to pin down.
Fortunately, The Fear will climb down from the tree branches to seek out food when his stamina reaches a certain threshold, giving you the opportunity to get extra sneaky with your fighting tactics and trick the character into eating some poisonous grub.
He'll start looking for some munch in order to replenish his stamina, and when he does so, simply chuck some poisoned or rotten food onto the ground and he should make a beeline right for it, gobbling it down ravenously. This will hurt him even further and speed the encounter along, and thankfully, he's a massive idiot, because he'll go for this tainted food more than once.
