The Fear Walkthrough and Guide - Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater

After the explosive defeat of The Pain, his hornets will clear a way to the Chyornaya Peschera Cave Entrance. Continue on this path and there will be a short cutscene of Snake hiding from flying patrol guards.

Watch your step while exploring the cave since it's a minefield! Luckily, you can grab a Mine Detector nearby. Equip it, and it'll start making a sound when it detects Claymores, but remember it uses battery power.

Beware of the patrolling guards in the skies! Wear the Water Camo or Croc Cap to avoid getting detected from their lights. If you prefer to fight, you can also shoot them down from a distance but this will alert other enemies.

Keep walking to sneak your way to the next area, but make sure to shoot the Ga-Ko by the log.

Take the exit on your left to reach Ponizovje West. Before taking on the enemies, dive into the water to find a Kerotan hiding behind the sewer gate.

At the locked red door, capture the Cobalt Blue Tarantula alive andsave your game. Then, climb the stairs on the right and go straight to enter the Ponizovje Warehouse.

Be careful! There are guards in the warehouse. You can earn the "Taste the Poison!" trophy by equipping and throwing the Spider you caught earlier at a guard. Afterward, reload your save to continue with the story.

Continue on your path and collect the Desert Face Paint behind a crate.

When you’re done looting the item, look up and shoot the Kerotan hiding on the ceiling.

Climb the stairs and take a detour to get the Instant Noodles inside a room. Then, continue moving up and shoot the Ga-Ko on the pipe.

Go through the red door to get to Graniny Gorki South. There are few things you can get in this forest such as Ga-Ko, Mushroom D (Fly Agaric), Book weapon, and European Rabbit.

As you move ahead, look up for a Kerotan on a tree branch. Just be careful approaching it because there’s a trap nearby!

Head straight to Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior: Outside Walls. Equip your Thermal Goggles to find Bird C (Red Avadavat) hiding in the grass. Shoot the nearby Ga-Ko, turn left, and crouch to cross the electric fence.

Take a few steps and look left for a Kerotan hiding between two trees. Then, crouch and head through the opening on your right to enter Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior: Inside Walls.

Once you get there, head straight to see another Ga-Ko and Kerotan peeping at the window of a building. Keep in mind that there’s also guards in this area.

From the building where you shot the Kerotan, head left and enter the storage room. You'll find the XM16E1 weapon inside.

Sneak your way to the side of the building and crouch again to reach Graniny Gorki Lab 1F. You can equip your Scientist Camo and remove any Face Paint you're wearing to avoid any suspicion.

As you enter the vents, turn left to grab the Oyama Face Paint. There's also a nearby Ga-Ko. Once you have them, continue to the other side and pass through the red door.

Look to your right and shoot the Kerotan on top of the lockers. Head left and climb down the stairs which leads to Graniny Gorki Lab B1 East.

Defeat the guard (if you're not wearing the Scientist Camo) and keep walking to the last cell and look inside since there’s a Kerotan there. You'll also find another Ga-Ko in this area.

Head outside the bathroom and drop over the railing and go down the stairs to reach Graniny Gorki Lab B1 West. Go inside the small office to get the Cig gas-spray weapon.

Go to the next room and shoot the Kerotan next to a lamp. Then, open the nearby locker to loot the Handkerchief weapon.

Continue through the doors until you meet Granin, a scientist and the head of the Granin Design Bureau. After the cutscene, you’ll need to return to Graniny Gorki South.

It’s now time for a boss fight! When you reach the area, The Fear will ambush you with a poisoned arrow. So before going on the offensive, cure Snake's venom poisoning first by removing the arrow and cleaning the wound.

The Fear is a quick boss that jumps from one area to another. You can monitor him better by equipping the Thermal Goggles. You’ll get the Spider Camo as a reward if you’re able to defeat him by depleting his stamina.
