Okay, I have seven accounts of the game on one memory card. I drain the Pain's stamina all the time. And how IRRITATING is he!

THE PAIN
**********
ATTACKS
-----------
1. Stupid Bee Armor: This isn't an attack but it's worth complaining about.
This armor keeps The Pain nice and safe from all your attacks. If you shoot
him, the bees will block the shot. This is more annoying than anything
else since he's got this on 90% of the time. Throw any grenade to disrupt
the Stupid Bee Armor.

A few shotgun blasts will also disrupt the armor.
(Credit to numerous emailers)
Gotta love tactical reload shotgun blasts. What's that? You're trying your
Stupid Bee Armor again? 2 seconds later he's wiiiiide open.
2. Bee Scent: The Pain throws some jars with a white trail that, when the
land, break and release a scent that his bees can find. If you're hit,
you'll turn yellowish and bees will begin to attack you. This is easy
enough to avoid. Just dive underwater to wash it off.
3. Tommy Gun: The Pain will yell "Tommy Gun!" and his bees will form a gun.
Dive into the water and swim towards the platform The Pain is on. By
swimming directly below the platform you'll be too close and The Pain
will just be shooting at his own feet. You can also dive deep and swim
to another area to avoid the bullets (better).
4. Grenade: The Pain will yell "Grenade!" and a ball of bees will appear
near him and waft towards you. When it arrives, the ball will disapate and
drop a grenade. If you see this attack either move from your current
location or try shooting the ball of bees a few times. If you're good,
the ball will break up and drop the grenade right at The Pain's feet.
You can also shoot the area where the greande would appear to disrupt the
bees and cancel this move completely. Wait until the ball forms if you
want a grenade to be inside.
5. Grenade Barrage: The Pain will yell "Grenade!" again but this time he
makes a bunch of bee ball things. They move just like the singular
grenades but there's just a bunch of them now. You can try to shoot
some or all of them but don't be afraid to move out.
6. Swarm: A dark cloud of bees form around Snake and give him the ol'
poke-a poke-a. Just dive into the water to get them off of you.
7. Swarm Lockdown: A cloud of bees, this time visibly yellow, will form
around Snake. Dive into the water the second you see this! If you don't,
bees will swarm around you and prevent you from moving. The Pain usually
follows this up with a grenade. Mashing action helps you get out faster.
(Confirmed by numerous e-mailers)
8. Swarm Doppelganger: A yellow cloud of bees will form just like the Swarm
Lockdown, but this time take the form of The Pain. One is the real one.
If you shoot the wrong one The Pain will counterattack with Grenade Barrage.
9. Swarm Teleport: The Pain's bees will swarm around him but instead of
gathering into his Stupid Bee Armor, he will disappear and quickly
reappear right in your face, dealing damage.
The lesson here is just stay away from swarms of bees.
10. Bullet Bees: The Pain will begin to use these bees after you've
depleted him to about half life/stamina and the cutscene triggers. Listen
for him to say "Go my bullet bees!" These red-trailed bees will strike you
and burrow into your skin doing considerable damage. To avoid them, just
stay underwater. Use the cure menu to remove the bees if you're hit.
11. Seeker Bees: If The Pain loses you, typically from you diving and
swimming somewhere else, these bees will find you when you surface. They
just alert The Pain to your location. They have a white trail.
STRATEGY
------------
After hearing about grenading/shotgunning to disrupt the
Stupid Bee Armor this boss battle took a MASSIVE drop in annoying-ness.
Thanks again!
You can dodge just about everything he throws at you by diving and
swimming somewhere else, plus a bunch of his attacks won't even bother
you if you're in the water to begin with. When you dive and swim,
make sure you stick to the edges of the area and stay deep so The Pain
can't see you as easily. If you stay low and swim fast, you'll be fine.
You can also shoot at him while underwater.
Pop out of the water to take shots at him and to throw grenades. Hop
right back in when he starts an attack you can't counter.
I like staying on one platform until he does an attack I can't counter
then I dive and swim to the other platform. Safe! Whenever he's not
doing a move that'll hit me immediately, I wail on him with the M37
then switch to another weapon once the Stupid Bee Armor is gone.
EXTRAS
----------
* To get his camo after you deplete his stamina bar, go to the right of
the cave exit and follow the path around. Theres a ledge you can roll off
to land on The Pain's platform.
* I keep saying bees but he uses hornets as well.
(I'll get you...science.)
* The Pain, I hate you. (Update: No longer! Now you're a chump!)
I really don't like to post this...
But yeah, admins please pardon me...
Just wanted to talk about my view on this, thanks!
