Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Part 27 walkthrough: Strategies for defeating Crying Wolf and navigating the Blast Furnace and Underground Base.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When facing Crying Wolf, utilize the Solid Eye's (a device that enhances vision) night vision to spot her, as her armor obscures her body heat. Stay upwind to avoid her scent tracking.
  2. 2
    Hide under the truck for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects), but be aware this is a slow method.
  3. 3
    Use a long-range weapon with a scope, like the SVD or Mosin Nagant, to attack Crying Wolf only when she is preparing to fire her rail gun, as this is when her exposed body is visible.
  4. 4
    Head towards the Communications Tower and crawl, using the camera to search for her.
  5. 5
    Once spotted, check for Haven Troopers and engage Crying Wolf.
  6. 6
    After defeating Crying Wolf, she becomes Crying Beauty. Keep your distance as she attempts to grab you.
  7. 7
    In the Blast Furnace, head west along the first catwalk and shimmy across a narrow ledge.
  8. 8
    Go down the stairs and check the locked door in the northeast corner.
  9. 9
    Head back up to the third floor and drop to the ground level, avoiding Scarabs (small, rolling robotic enemies). Use a chaff grenade (an electronic jamming device) if needed.
  10. 10
    Take the elevator to the B5 basement.
  11. 11
    Inside the casting facility, stay in the elevator to avoid Gekko (bipedal robots).
  12. 12
    Follow the south wall east, then cross to the western side before entering the northern portion, minding the Gekko's position.
  13. 13
    In the northern half, stay on the west side and slowly move north, using equipment for cover from Gekkos.
  14. 14
    Wait for the three Scarabs patrolling near the end to finish scanning and roll away, then quickly run across and dive behind equipment.
  15. 15
    Wait for the Gekko in the center to walk south, then climb onto the conveyor belts.
  16. 16
    When the Scarabs on the other side are facing away, jump down and run to the exit.
  17. 17
    Climb down the ladder and exit through the door to the Underground Base.
  18. 18
    Crawl through the broken gate at the end of the hallway.
  19. 19
    Follow behind a rolling Scarab on the catwalk and wait for it to move away from the entrance to Rex's holding area.
  20. 20
    Duck under the Gekko on the wall to avoid detection. The door to the elevator will not open if you are in an alert phase (detected by enemies).
  21. 21
    Enter the Underground Base to prepare to fight Vamp.
