If you venture into the jungles, there's a few things you should probably know...
"Hah hah hah hah!! Greetings... fellow wanderer of the jungle. I see you've walked right into my trap. I hope you enjoy this dart coated in the Brazilian Wandering Spider's venom that's being aimed right for you. Oh? What's that? You... wish to know more about me and The Cobras? Fair enough, I suppose. I'll grant you this one wish... before I kill you for the sake of my mission. The Joy wouldn't be too happy if I failed. But where's the fun if I just hurry up and finish you off?"
METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER
Released on the Playstation 2, the mastermind genius of the entire series is Hideo Kojima. The majority of the setting takes place in the 1960s during the Cold War with Russia. The game is placed in the soviet jungles where the player, as Naked Snake, must complete his various missions. This is a unique installment to the series because it not only deals with the usually seen inflation and stealth factor but (newly seen) all the key elements of nature must be manipulated as well to successfully get past your objectives.THE FEAR
Coming straight from the game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater,
The Fear is a member of a unit called The Cobras.
It consists of the leader The Joy, The Sorrow, The Pain, The Fury and The End.
All possess certain abilities or skills that they've expanded on. The Fear, for example, has super human agility that helps him leap from branch to branch in order to snipe from the trees using his crossbow (which is loaded with poison coated arrows from the Brazilian Wandering Spider). He's double jointed and is able to turn invisible for brief periods at a time using a stealth camouflage that can be acquired after beating him if you defeat him using certain requirements. His battle is difficult. Not only does he poison Naked Snake prior to the start of the battle but the forest floor is booby trapped. The player has to pick their way through the forest while dodging the arrows and firing into the trees, hoping to weaken The Fear.
His Japanese voice actor was Kazumi Tanaka, and his English voice actor was Michael Patrick Bell.
HIS BATTLE TECHNIQUE AND WEAPONS
As stated before, The Fear uses a crossbow loaded with poison coated arrows, including the venom of the Wandering Spider and other various animals (perhaps poison dart frogs) mingled in with the acrid mix. He uses everything to his advantage. His stealth camouflage made it nearly impossible to spot him until it was virtually too late. This piece of equipment rends him invisible by bending all the light around his body, masking him. However, using this didn't come without a drawback. Since, based on assumptions and information gathered from the game, this piece of gear was still being tested on. This, in return, sucked away at The Fear's stamina, causing him to have to forage for food constantly to keep his strength up. Of course, this is one of the better ways to keep this frantic, speed demon of the trees put for a second: give him rotten food and, thusly, give him food poisoning. Beware, though. The Fear likes to booby trap where ever he's holed up, so if you fight him, expect to tread the ground carefully.
The Fear actually has two weapons. It may be hard to tell (when engaging yourself in battle with him), but he has two crossbows. His large, main one (used for long distance fighting) is named William Tell, and the smaller one (used for closer, one on one skirmishes) is named Little Joe.
HIS DEATH AND BEYOND
Once you defeat him in the game, The Fear will have on nasty move left on his chessboard. He'll explode himself with a microbomb (that all Cobra Unit members seem to have on hand in case of their defeat), blowing himself up instantly. However, Naked Snake has to dodge the showering barrage of Brazilian Spider venom coated arrows. Though this was initially his death, this isn't the last time you see of The Fear.During your trip down The Sorrow's River, you'll start to notice it has recorded all your kills. You should know what comes next. Yes, indeed, The Fear shows up, and he's none too happy he's been killed, thanks to you, the player. He can't truly hurt you at this time, but it's a horrible reminder that- whether good or bad- the people you kill still remain in the separate realm, watching our every move.THE COBRAS
The Cobras are the enemies that Naked Snake battles throughout the course of MGS3's plot development. In order to complete the game the player must take down each individual member and kill them. Their codenames (The Fear, The Fury, The Pain, The End, The Sorrow and The Joy) reference either their fighting style or their particular "emotion" they have, outlook wise, with skirmishes. The Joy, also known as The Boss,
of course, is the last to be battled. She was the mentor of Naked Snake and thusly that battle was the most climatic in the game. The only Cobra member not to truly be battled was The Sorrow. He was dead upon start of the game so the visage you encounter is merely his spirit coming back to make you face all of the souls you created (mainly every single person you've killed during your game play experience). He was the only exception to the rule.TRIVIA: MGS4 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST UNIT AND THE COBRAS
Apparently, the Beauty and the Beast unit, or the B&B unit from MGS4, has ties to not only past bosses and villains but the Cobras themselves! It appears that each Beast member takes something- whether weaponry or simply the "emotions" (in point case of the Cobras)- and combines it to create their personal styles. Here are the B&B members, and which Cobras they've aligned themselves to:Laughing Octopus = Decoy Octopus; Solidus (tentacles);
The JoyRaging Raven = Vulcan Raven; Fatman (explosives);
The Fury and
The PainCrying Wolf = Sniper Wolf; Fortune (railgun);
The SorrowScreaming Mantis = Psycho Mantis; Vamp (knives);
