Continuing on after the Gray Fox fight. Meryl appears to have gotten herself into trouble. If you head to B1 of the Nuclear Storage Building,you'll be able to find her disguised in a guard's uniform. She does walk differently from other guards,but she's always in the same spot too: the left hand side of the room in front of the elevator. If you follow her fast enough to the bathroom,you'll catch her with her pants down,literally. The 2 will chat for a bit,then eventually Meryl will give Snake a Level 5 PAN Card. She also gives us a PAL Key,but says that's the only one she has. This is a good time to loot the area of supplies since the guards are all gone. You can find Cardboard Box B,Night Vision Goggles,and some Diazepam in addition to the other usual supplies here. Head to the Commander's Room and Meryl will start acting strange. Throw a Stun Grenade when you have control again,and Psycho Mantis will reveal himself. After he shows off his psychic powers,it's time to face him as a boss! As soon as the fight starts,you need to switch your controller to Slot 2/Port 2,otherwise Mantis will be able to dodge all of your attacks. If you throw on Thermal Goggles,you can keep a bead on Mantis at all times even if he makes himself invisible. The FA-MAS or Socom Pistol are your best weapons to hurt him here. Throughout the fight,Mantis will either try to throw blasts of psychic energy at you,or use telekinesis to throw objects in the room. You can essentially dodge all of his telekinesis attacks by crawling on the ground though. If he possesses Meryl's body again at any point,use Stun Grenades again to knock her out. Once he's finally defeated,Mantis will give his sob story,and show us the way to go next before dying.
