7. An Army Of Metal Gear Rays Metal Gear Solid 2
The Context: Similar to the above entry, it would take multiple paragraphs to accurately describe every little narrative detail surrounding this fight, but the highlights involve multiple character deaths - Olga and Fortune both before and after the fight - and Solidus pitting Raiden up against an endless supply of Rays. The Fight: Now obviously the amount of machines isn't literally endless - although every time you kill one another emerges in its place - but Raiden has to put many of them out of commission before the story moves on. The amount that must be defeated also varies from difficulty to difficulty, ranging from five all the way to twenty on the game's hardest difficulty; dubbed European Extreme. With that said, whether you are fighting five or twenty it is a long, challenging and arduous fight that grows in intensity with each passing second. Chaff grenades naturally help by temporarily stunning them, but the ultimate key to success is knowing when to cartwheel around the circular arena dodging attacks and when to fire off missiles of your own. Furthermore, hats off to anyone that has actually completed this battle on European Extreme.
