it took me ages to beat that bird freak. i just stayed at the bottom and planted c4 on the boxes. when he starts running then u are screwed. don't use stinger cause he will just shoot them!

Like ziffgone mentioned you can just claymore the hell out of the area and laugh your ass off when he keeps tripping them - that's the method i always use. If you want to avoid blowing yourself up just equip the mine detector and you can easily negotiate your little death traps I usually mine the centre - keep out of sight for a bit while you're setting up the mines and then when you're ready merely stick your head out a bit and ol' vulcan will come running - right into your little ambush. When setting the mines always makes sure you have an escape route and that you don't restrict your own movement by totally cutting off directions you can run.

The secret to doing it this way is just to have patience and don't panic when Vulcan comes legging it towards you. Just take your time and Vulcan will never hit you with a single round - i don't think i've ever taken any damage at that part of the game (except when i didn't equip my mine detector and i forgot where i'd set some of the mines - ouch!).

ok,now ive beaten vulcan.......put PAL codes in(liquid stupid ***ch!!)mg rex is next........beat first time then fox got killed and now cant beat mg rex again????????????

[font=tahoma]fart, the easiest way to beat MG Rex is to keep the air constantly chaffed, this way the missiles cannot lock onto you, and as long as you keep moving you'll be ok. However, this does mean you haveto equipchaff granades, throw one, dodge, equip stinger, lock on, fire, deequip stinger, dodge, equip chaff, throw, etc etc but if you keep doing that you wil defeat MG Rex in no time

fart, if you follow ER's advice you won't go far wrong. The only other thing i can add is to emphasize the keep moving bit. When you've thrown some chaff don't stop moving until it takes effect, otherwise Liquid will nail you.

Stick and move, that's the secret - and keep that chaff flying.

Also be carefully of 'doubling back' when you're running around. One of Rex's missiles will probably head to where you used to be - if you head back, you're likely to run head first into it - which is not good for your health.

Just keep at it - i remember it taking me quite a few attempts the first time i took on Rex, but you'll get there in the end.

* * * * * *hi fart,
* * * * * * * * * *so ur near mgrex well it's so easy to defeat him,i think after raven he is the easiest boss to defeat,here is what u should *do firstly *u must be a bit close to him not very close but a bit close if u have noticied the circle u must be at the circle then equip the stinger missile *and hit him once then unequip itthen u will see that even if he throws missiles at u it wil be outside the range of u,but always remember if u hit him once always unequip it first because after hitting him once or twice he should be hitting *u with a laser (that is if u are closer to him),this trick is good and always works if u follow it correctly then u could not lose any one ration also.
* * * * * * * * * * u can also use that chaff and hit him with the stinger...but that's the old trick also it takes longer time my trick is new and works all the time.:thumbsup:
* * * * * * * * * have fun gaming and bye.:wave:

thanks guys thats helped alot,cya ya guys round :wave:

Hi fart i know it is to late now but for next time when u are being tortured get a mste to press the o button on the second pad to keep up your health me and the wife did it and it works like a charm *:thumbsup:

Not really challenging the torture level, you just have to do a bit of button bashing. Try this level on EXTREME, no that'll give you sore fingers!!

If you have MGS : Special Missions, you should be offered the ninja suit after completeing a number of levels.

Another Way Of Beating Rex in MGS

Some real good advice on beating Rex, but ive noticed no-ones mentioned the way i did it. You can beat Rex without using anything but stingers (saving ammo) and from a stationary position. Not possible !! i hear you cry !!

Heres how:

As soon as the level starts, turn round and start running towards bottom left hand corner. You should notice the pillars against the wall and some barrels ahead of you. Go past the barrels and head for the last pillar on the left wall to hide behind. If you are quick enough T-Rex should not of got you or noticed where you are immediately.

Now this is the important bit:

Once you've made it behind the pillar, its time to position yourself. Move slightly away from the pillar (too far or too close; means Rex can hit you) and face towards T-Rex. Select stingers and check view: If you cannot see T-Rex but can target him then wait till you can see him a little before shooting stingers. Soon as he is in sight (not full sight), target rex and stray to the right (stinger view) before releasing the stingers (this ensures you dont hit the pillar you are behind and blow yourself up, and it makes it almost impossible for him to get you). Stay in this position and carry on shooting the stingers at him. You will notice him come closer; DONT PANIC * carry on targeting and shooting. A few shots without the aid of auto-aim helps kill him quicker.

This is the method i worked out, i dont know if anyone else has used it, but you can *improve on it like using chaff grenades to buy you some time.

Any other MGS probs ? Just post.

Cant wait for MGS 2, bye for now!!

[b] :idea: If you really want to beat rex stand right between his legs where he cant see you once he has lost you stay behind him and lock on with the misssiles.As long as you stay behind him he cant hurt you.

i no the torture really is torture to ure fingers but anyway just beat the hell out of the circle button and hope that ure life stays up it aches but keep at it and u will persevere
