How to Kill Mantis Nonlethally in Metal Gear Solid 4

"Metal Gear Solid 4" is a stealth and action based third-person shooter video game released exclusively for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. You play as Snake, striving to defeat the evil men conspiring against him and the world. Players get special cutscenes if Snake defeats certain bosses, such as Mantis, without using lethal methods. To defeat Mantis nonlethally, you must steal her red doll and use it against her.

Instructions

- 1
  Play through "Metal Gear Solid 4" until you reach Mantis. She appears after you exit the Command Center in Outer Haven.

  Avoid Mantis' attacks. She only has one move: She disappears and suddenly reappears beside you, immediately attacking you. You can avoid the move by not standing still when she disappears.
- 3
  Aim your weapon at the red doll Mantis holds. Press "R1" to shoot the doll, making her drop it. Pick up the doll to permanently add it to your collection.
- 4
  Equip the red doll instead of your normal weapon. Press "R1" to fire the doll at Mantis. You only need one shot to force her out of her suit.
- 5
  Equip your tranquilizer pistol instead of the red doll. Fire at the unsuited Mantis until her health bar is fully depleted. Your tranquilizer rounds will not kill her.
