You may not have put any thought in it when you pulled the trigger or ran a blade across a soldier’s throat, but now you are confronted with each and every kill. At the same time this ‘boss fight’ puts you face to face with the people you’ve killed during the game. Caught between the worlds of the living and dead, Snake needs to ‘die’ as well as revive himself to escape this place. It isn’t even a fight, it’s more like a situation you have to escape from. Kojima is known for his out-of-the-box boss battles, and the fight against The Sorrow certainly qualifies. There’s a serene atmosphere, birds can be heard singing from deep within the forest, rays of sunlight pierce through the canopy, butterflies flutter by. He coughs up the water he swallowed, the water that almost meant his death. Running out of breath, he claws his way to the surface, and swims to the shore, where he collapses, exhausted.

As you plow forward, you can see the Sorrow moving along with you in the fog, a few meters in front of you, or circling you. The Sorrow disappears, and control is returned to the player. “Now you will know the sorrow of those whose lives you’ve ended.” he says with a grim voice. “The dead are not silent.” A tear of blood rolls from his eye. But make no mistake…” He firmly points his finger at Snake. “The living may not hear them.” the Sorrow continues. This whole time Snake keeps his gun pointed at the levitating man. He removes his hood, and reveals his pale, but commanding face. “And you are one of them.” he proclaims, pointing at Snake. His voice is soft and subdued, but decisive at the same time. Suddenly, it starts to rain, and the fire quickly dies out.Ī gloomy figure rises above the surface, his back turned to Snake. Snake begins to move forward, wading against the stream. The mangrove is burning, forming a tunnel of flames across the water. However, he ends up having to jump into a river several hundred meters below.Īfter throwing himself into the depths, Snake finds himself standing in the waist-deep water of a mangrove river.
