-----------------| BOSS BATTLE : METAL GEAR REX |-----------------

Master the Metal Gear REX boss battle in Metal Gear Solid. Learn its weak points, attack patterns, and strategies for both phases to emerge victorious.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Metal Gear REX — Weak point: Radome on left shoulder (Part I), Liquid's cockpit (Part II). Primary weapon: Stinger missiles.

Phases:

1. Part I: Destroy the Radome
   - Target the radome plate on REX's left shoulder. Other parts are invulnerable.
   - DON'Ts:
   1. Don't stand still (missiles).
   2. Don't get too close (stomp attack).
   3. Only use Stinger missiles.
   4. Fire missiles rapidly; wait for the target box.
   - Strategy:
   - Use a chaff grenade at the start to confuse REX.
   - Hit the radome at least twice.
   - To avoid missiles, run directly towards REX.
   - To avoid machine gun, run away from REX.
   - Equip body armor if available.
   - After sufficient damage, a cutscene plays where Grey Fox intervenes, damaging REX and revealing Liquid. Fox is then injured by REX.
2. Part II: Defeat Liquid
   - REX's mouth is open, revealing Liquid. REX will not move.
   - The basic DON'Ts from Part I still apply.
   - REX will use missiles, a machine gun, and a blue laser (if close).
   - Strategy:
   - Throw a Stun grenade to distract Liquid.
   - Use this time to hit Liquid in the cockpit twice with Stinger missiles.
   - This battle is similar to Part I.
