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

36. The Skulls - Mist #1 (MGS V)

The game's very first mission (outside of the prologue, of course) sees the introduction of The Skulls, who show up when Snake is about to extract Kaz. Hilariously, the entire boss "fight" can actually be avoided if, before getting to the original chopper LZ, you move the LZ somewhere else. The more likely approach is just get on D-Horse and cheese it out of the area, which though relatively easy, is still incredibly intense given that it's the player's first encounter with these agonisingly persistent enemies. You eventually escape the mist and the Skulls are gone, but you're left with the feeling of dread knowing that they're definitely going to be back.
