Ranking All Of Metal Gear Solid's Boss Battles From Worst To Best

39. Eli (MGS V)

Young Liquid Snake finally comes into the picture in episode 23 as The White Mamba, a legendary child soldier who Snake is tasked with taking down. Once you find him at an abandoned boat, the boss fight kicks off, with Eli using his speed to dart around the boat and try and confuse Snake. He'll also try and stab you, but he's incredibly easy to take down with some snappy CQC. Yes, it's an almost hilariously easy fight that ends after you get him on his back a few times, but a) a kid being able to kick Big Boss' a** would have been really silly, and b) it's still memorable and fun all the same. Plus, having to tranq-snipe all those other child soldiers before taking Eli on is a ton of fun. Plus, if you fancy it, Eli challenges you to a rematch in a side-ops mission.
