4th boss: "The End"

100+ year old sniper who is "the father of modern sniping" and has moss growing on his body so he can use photosynthesis for food while standing still for weeks. He's been sleeping for years and wakes up only to fight Snake and the forest spirits grant him enough life for the fight. After you kill him he falls to the ground and his eyes bulge out then his dentures pop out and fly 30 feet up into the air where you get a slo mo Matrix pan of them. Then his body explodes (for no reason), and after that he yells out his name.


There's an amusing trick where if the PS2 clock reads a week or more past the time you saved the game at The End fight, he'll just die of old age in the middle of the battle (you can manually change the PS2 clock to cheat). Snake sneaks up behind him only to discover he's dead. He holsters his gun, walks away, and The End's body explodes but he doesn't yell out his name (because dead people can't talk obviously).

There's then a third way to kill him. Right after a previous cutscene where he's asleep and pushed out in a wheelchair, you have a few seconds to cap him with a sniper rifle before he's wheeled back inside. Shoot him and he yells out his name then explodes and one of the wheels on his chair flies 300 feet through the air right to your hidden sniper perch and hits you for damage.
