How Do You Kill The End Before the Boss Battle in Metal Gear Solid Delta?

Metal Gear Solid Delta: How to Kill The End Before the Boss Battle Guide 1

You have the chance to kill The End before his normal boss encounter when you reach Ponizovje Warehouse Docks.

Here, after a cutscene plays, there's a short window of opportunity where you can equip a sniper rifle and shoot him before he disappears into a warehouse. Doing this means you skip his boss fight later in the game entirely.

In order to do this, however, you need to perform a small bit of prep work before getting there. In the area prior, named Ponizovje South (the area you walk through water with trees on both sides), you can take a side path to Ponizovje West.

Here, eliminate the two guards, then search the small building to your right to find an SVD. Go into your inventory and equip it to the D-Pad, granting you quick access to it.

Return to Ponizovje South and take the northern path to the objective this time to reach Ponizovje Warehouse Docks. Before entering, we recommend making a save. This way, if you mess up the kill or wish to play the game naturally but still see this easter egg, you have a save to go back to.

Go through and watch the cutscene. So you know this is the correct place for the Trophy, the cutscene includes Sokolov wetting his pants and The End sleeping in a wheelchair.

As soon as you regain control of Snake, equip the SVD and shoot The End. You'll need to aim between the large stack of boxes and the soldier. The End will explode and The Early End Trophy will unlock.
