Metal Gear Solid Delta: How to Beat The Fear

The third main boss fight encounter in Metal Gear Solid Delta, you come across The Fear in Graniny Gorki South, when you're backtracking to Ponizovje Warehouse. This Metal Gear Solid Delta guide reveals how to beat The Fear.

How Do You Beat The Fear in Metal Gear Solid Delta?

Before even thinking about taking on The Fear, you first need to heal yourself. Dive into the Cure menu and remove both the Venom Poisoning and the crossbow bolt. Once you're fully healed, it's time to defeat The Fear.

The Fear sticks mostly to the treetops, jumping from one branch to another. He also has some form of invisibility, which makes him much harder to track. That is, unless you have the Thermal Goggles. Equip these, and you will be able to see The Fear jumping around above you, making it significantly easier to track his position.

On his end, he'll continue to try and shoot you with crossbow bolts. If any hit you, there is a possibility you'll be poisoned again and have to return to the Cure menu to heal yourself fully.

With the Thermal Goggles equipped, shoot him until either his health or stamina bar is fully depleted. If you beat The Fear non-lethally, you'll get a new Uniform after the fight called Spider. The Fear regularly drops down to the ground to eat food, and if you drop some poisonous items for him to munch on, he'll also be poisoned.

Just be warned that if you wish to beat The Fear non-lethally, then him eating food will restore his stamina.
