Psycho Mantis Fight

Psycho-Mantis

The Psycho Mantis boss fight is one of the most memorable scenes in Metal Gear Solid history. It also happens to be one of the craziest, most mindblowing scenes in the series and in gaming history during that point in time. Before the fight starts, Psycho Mantis will read your past by looking up save files in your PS1 memory card. He’ll even identify games like Castlevania to try to freak you out.

During the boss fight, you’ll find that you won’t be able to hit him with your bullets. If you call the Colonel for help, he’ll inform you that it’s because Mantis is reading your inputs and you’ll have to swap controller ports from 1 to 2. Huh. Who knew mind-reading worked that way?
