The final boss is hard as nails. Just remember you have infinite continues, get your movements down and never give up.
Stage 7
The building shortly after the start contains a hostage who will tell you to watch out for the marshes and that you may need the fins. You'll also find a bazooka as well as some body armor. It will save you from taking damage a few times against the next boss.
The scuba drivers come out of the water and shoot at you. Thankfully, they have a little snorkel that they use before they surface, and if your aim is good enough (or you can get close enough to stab them), you can take them out before they surface.
The second building in the stage contains grenades and Food. Food recovers only one unit of health.
When you see the five flamethrower guys, take out the two at the bottom so you can get rid of the rest.
The third building contains a flamethrower and Muscle Emphasis Tablets. The hostage here tells you that the enemy headquarters is nearby, but there is still more marshland. More enemies will show up as you go north from this building. Watch your back.
The boss here is a swamp boat with a turret. The flamethrower will make quick work of the wooden roof on the right side of the boat if you have it; otherwise, you'll be doing a lot of dodging and you'll be shooting and stabbing a whole bunch of enemies coming at you from behind.
Stage 8
You'll be able to get a motorcycle at the start. Use it to mow down enemies, then get off when you see a truck. Destroy everybody, save the hostage to get a Cross, which saves you from taking a hit at random (from what I've read). The box contains more grenade. Afterwards, there is another truck to the right. Beat up all the guys in the truck and rescue the two hostages, one of which warns you of the doors that trap you with infra-red beams. If you don't have the Infra-Red Goggles from Stage 6, you won't be able to see the beams. Also, break the box to get Muscle Emphasis Tablets.
After the second trucks, go north to climb the fence. Once you enter the door all the way to the right, you're in the base proper.
Keep jumping to get past the infra-red beams. If any touch you, the floor will collapse beneath your feet, and if you're above the pit, you will die. You'll then face another tank just like the one in Stage 6. The way to beat it is the same, but this time, debris will fall from the top of the screen whenever the tank fires a missile, and you'll have to avoid that as well.
After you face some enemies, you'll have to face Knife Killer again. Guess what? You can use your gun and kill him in one shot this time. After this, free the hostages. One of them will tell you that the enemy has brainwashed the first character you played as, and that he is on watch duty in a nearby room. One of them will refill your health completely, too.
The next room has more infra-red beams, but also robots that shoot electric barriers that you can't get past unless you destroy the robots. If you double back a bit too much near the end, you can have two robots on top of you instead of one, and you'll probably be forced to use a continue. Thankfully, continues are infinite.
You'll then have to face the first character you played as in a one-on-one battle. Just like with the High Commander, you are forced to use only your knife. When your comrade runs at you with the knife, jump away. Stay away from his bazooka shots, the resulting explosions and the grenades. After three bazooka shots, he will throw a grenade before charging at you twice again. When you stab on the first charge, jump away and stay away during and after the second charge, or else you're going to get hit. When you finally beat your comrade, walk up to him. He will come back to his senses, and you'll be able to play as him again with all of the second character's items in his inventory. Go through the door to the north.
You'll then take on some more infra-red beams as well as some soldiers. If you can, trip the infra-red beams to keep the more difficult soldiers at bay. You'll then be in a corridor. Take out the all-black soldiers with grenades, and do the same with the flamethrower guys if you can. If you know what you're doing, you can take out multiple all-black soldiers at once with one grenade. Also, you can shoot down the flamethrower guys with the gun safely.
You'll then take on the High Commander again, and this time, you can use your gun. It's hard to tell due to all the videos in this Let's Play being 30 FPS (I wouldn't do 60 FPS until Looney Tunes in Carrot Crazy), but the High Commander teleports everywhere and attacks from all angles, and it can be very difficult to anticipate where he is going.
The battle starts with the High Commander moving around in a circle and shooting fireballs every so often. It will take some practice, but you'll be able to anticipate when he will shoot the fireballs the more practice you get in with this boss battle. After three fireballs, he throws eight boomerangs in eight directions. Take out as many as you can, as they will eventually return to where the High Commander originally threw them.
At half health, the High Commander will be on his knees before leaping away and moving very quickly all over the room. Again, it is hard to tell exactly what he is doing due to all the videos being 30 FPS, but that's what he's doing, and he will attack you as he moves around in a way as translucent, see-through clones move around that seems to violate the space-time continuum. When you get him down to one hit, he goes even faster. You'll really have to buckle down and just watch the screen to see where he goes, and if you can somehow stab him with your knife at this point, more power to you.
When you eventually beat the High Commander, the High Commander will fall and you will get a million points. But there's even more! Go through the door to the north and fight off all the grenade-tossing soldiers and blaze a path past them all to the north end of the room. If you die at this point, you won't have to face the High Commander again, thankfully. Soldiers will surround you, but the helicopter that shows up kills all the enemy soldiers and saves you. The second character will save you, then you'll find out that you have to save the President again. Our heroes bow out this time. But hey, you've beaten Bloody Wolf! Congratulations!
