Vulcan Raven

Vulcan Raven is the eighth boss faced in Metal Gear Solid and its remake Twin Snakes.

Description
The boss takes place in a large arena-like cold storage room where there are several arrays of large storage containers set about. Unlike most bosses, the best way to handle this one is through stealth, as Raven is fast, powerful, and hard-hitting with his huge minigun. Raven will patrol the area with his huge field of vision, and upon spotting Snake, will let loose. It's easy to lose him thanks to the cover of the containers, however, where the player can get a good surprise attack on him, lose him again, and repeat. What attack is up to the player, but Stinger and Nikita missiles, as well as claymore traps, are considered the best options due to the amount of damage they deal. There are several crows flying around the area that throws off the Stinger's heat-seeking, making the boss significantly harder if you use this tactic. Raven also has incredibly good hearing, so it's best to keep your distance even if you're behind him, and will sometimes push over containers to block the player's potential escape paths.
