Shoot the targets with the PSG1 or M4 quickly, if you don't do it quickly the targets will disappear again. The soldier will release a sound wave which will immobilize you, then shoot out beams from his eyes which will take away approximately 1/4 of your full life bar. When immobilized, press L2 and R2 repeatedly to get out of it. To avoid being immobilized, right before the sound wave hits, roll and you won't be immobilized. There's a funny trick to beating him easily. In the middle of the room are 3 blocks. Hide behind them and you'll be seen and attacked. Out of the broken blocks will be some books. Take the book and place one on the floor and stand beside it. Once the giant Gurlukovich soldier sees the book, you will win the battle hilariously.

Battle Metal Gear Ray Just battle Metal Gear Ray like in the regular game. You will receive 2 Rations.
Battle Solidus Snake will battle Solidus bare-handed. Solidus isn't as strong as in the regular game. You will receive 2 Rations.

If you are confident with your control, you can roll toward Solidus as he approaches you to knock him down. Defeat Solidus and all 5 Snake Tales are cleared.
