Master Mission 23: The White Mamba in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Learn strategies for the boss fight, handling child soldiers, and completing mission tasks for rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approaching the White Mamba or entering his chambers initiates the boss fight.
  2. 2
    The first stage involves the White Mamba rushing you. Wait for the CQC prompt to appear and counter his attack.
  3. 3
    The second stage has the White Mamba hiding. Use D-Dog to reveal his location.
  4. 4
    If attempting to capture him without a fight: go to the left on the ship and climb to his level. If he is sitting, you will likely miss all shots. Use your knocking ability to lure him up, then shoot him in the head with a tranq dart.
  5. 5
    Mission Task 4: The rough diamonds are in a green tent in the guardpost near where you land. You cannot kill the children here, but you can stun or put them to sleep.
  6. 6
    Mission Task 5: When first completing this mission, you cannot extract children with the Fulton Device. You must carry them to the helicopter. It is less time-consuming to wait until you obtain the Child upgrade for your Fulton Device and return to complete this task.
Tips
  • Use a sniper rifle with tranq darts to shoot the interfering child soldiers.
  • Counter the White Mamba's attacks with CQC when prompted.
  • D-Dog is useful for locating the White Mamba when he hides.
  • For Mission Task 5, it is more efficient to wait for the Child Fulton Device upgrade before extracting children.
  • Rough diamonds (Mission Task 4)
  • Children for extraction (Mission Task 5)
