I'm going to try and set him on fire with the torch when I reach him on this playtrough. User Info: yaaay. OK, I took a picture of Raikov at The Sorrow's river, and when I looked closely at the picture, there was the face of a Konami staff member. More topics from this board Defeating the Sorrow?

Take his body out of the red striped locker and put it in a normal one. Place a Claymore in front of said locker, making sure that the lasers are pointing at the locker's door. Place a TNT on the locker next to where you put Raikov.
Walk a safe distance away and detonate the TNT. This will in turn trigger the Claymore and send the now bloodied body flying. After Snake's deception was revealed, Raikov was discovered, rendering Snake's disguise useless. Sometime after Groznyj Grad's destruction, Raikov lost his position due to his abusive behavior towards his soldiers, the Kremlin having evidently taken the opportunity to punish Raikov due to Volgin's presumed demise. An unspecified time later, a spy unit belonging to Snake's resistance group , located Raikov, and he was later rescued by the team largely because of his previous experience and rank within GRU.
However, he was caught by surprise when Campbell asked for his help, since his skills and experience as a GRU major would be useful to them. Although initially hesitant, especially as their leader had presumably killed Colonel Volgin, he later decided to join them, mainly to seek revenge on Gene's army for imprisoning him, and to redeem himself in the eyes of the Soviets.
Raikov's middle name "Raidenovitch" is patronymic, according to Russian cultural tradition, and means, "Son of Raiden. Ivan is a Slavic Christian name equivalent to the English "John. Raikov outwardly appeared to be polite and mild-mannered, although he was described by EVA to be "the kind of person who [sat] in his room and [admired] his bug collection.
He was gluttonous to the extent that he was perfectly willing to eat even roadkill if it came his way. Raikov had a handsome appearance and was the favorite soldier of Colonel Volgin, once referred to by EVA as a "precious pet" of his, and was also his lover. His being Volgin's lover was emphasized by Volgin frequently grabbing his crotch.
This became apparent when he beat Naked Snake to a pulp in retribution to Snake "hurting" Raikov to obtain his disguise. Raikov also had effeminate characteristics, and was also implied by EVA to be homosexual.
Until the aftermath of Operation Snake Eater, Raikov frequently used his position as major to physically abuse his subordinates for his own amusement, and has apparently slept on duty frequently enough for even his lower rank officers to get irritated with it and demand that he get up.
Further more, if an alert was raised in the East wing of Groznyj Grad, Raikov would run and hide in the bathroom as opposed to face the enemy alongside the guards he so readily injured. That said, however, he was willing to put up an immense fight when cornered and even take advantage of the narrow space within the bathroom stall to beat up his enemy should they follow him in there.
By the s, Raikov was hesitant to discuss the reasons for his imprisonment on the San Hieronymo Peninsula, reacting angrily when Roy Campbell deduced that it was due to his past actions towards his soldiers. He initially refused to aid Snake and Campbell, although he relented after considering the possibility of being redeemed in the Soviet eyes, as well as viewing working with Snake to be a far better alternative to his then-current position.
Raikov's uniform, during his time as a GRU major and when in exile, was normally used by Summer daily officers, as well as non-commissioned officers and former members of the service DL-astroa. He first appeared in the E3 trailer, showing the scene where his crotch was grabbed in a similar manner to Johnson grabbing Raiden's crotch in Metal Gear Solid 2.
According to Hideo Kojima in an interview with IGN, he admitted he was surprised that not many people were laughing at that moment, and also explained that the scene was a self-parody of Johnson's verification of Raiden's gender. When asked if it had nothing to do with the story for Metal Gear Solid 3 , however, Kojima revealed that the scene was indeed very relevant to the story. Raiden's character received mixed-to-negative reviews for his replacement of Solid Snake as the main star in Metal Gear Solid 2 , and much humor is derived from Raikov's characterization and physical resemblance in Metal Gear Solid 3.
The similarities are subtly referenced by EVA during a cutscene, [7] with Raikov turning directly toward the camera while briefly smirking. His implied sexual orientation was also a response to complaints from Western audiences regarding Raiden's androgynous appearance.
Besides the name Ivan, another connection with the name "John" in Raikov's name is that his patronymic Raidenovitch literally means "Son of Raiden. Raikov's thong also has a lightning bolt design on it, referring to the meaning of the word Raiden thunder and lightning.
In addition, according to a director's commentary, Raikov's patronymic name was also partially a pun on the term "Thunderbolt's Bitch," referring to Raikov's relationship with Colonel Volgin. In a leaked voice casting sheet for Metal Gear Solid 3 , Raikov was apparently intended to hold the rank of lieutenant, but was changed to major nearing finalization.
Other characters eg, Volgin also appeared to have had their ranks changed. According to a commentary by Hideo Kojima , the photo that EVA shows to Snake depicting Raikov and Volgin, was taken while Volgin had his hand inches from Raikov's groin, but it was cut off from the photo's edges. The player has the option of either killing or knocking out Raikov. Likewise, the calls after gaining Raikov's disguise will be slightly different depending on how the player took him out.
Also, if the former option is taken and a guard discovers the body either before putting him inside a locker, or removing him from the locker, it will result in an automatic mission failure. According to Hideo Kojima, the reason for the ambiguity behind Raikov's fate in Snake Eater was because he wanted to have the players act depending on what their views on Raiden were, as choices were the essence of Metal Gear Solid.
He also guessed that the European players will probably kill Raikov immediately. If Raikov is spared, what happens to him after his unconscious body is discovered isn't revealed. Although the player can fool the guards, scientists, and officers when wearing the disguise prior to the backfired rescue attempt, it will not fool attack dogs , causing dogs to raise an alert after smelling the player.
In order to find him and recruit him, players must place spies in the Western Wilderness. According to the story, Raikov has fallen down in rank because the cruel way in which he treats his soldiers.
Roy Campbell convinces Raikov to join Naked Snake's efforts because he would gain heroic status for stopping a nuclear catastrophe and regain his rank. This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:. Until you earn points all your submissions need to be vetted by other Giant Bomb users.
