Pariah for Arcade Room Mod (not really)!
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/file/926596/53111II. General Tips (GENTIP)
----------------------------------------------------
1. Use your Octocamo - Just because it's a boss fight doesn't mean
stealth isn't important. Bosses that become confused and unaware to
your presence will allow an easy shot.
2. Pay close attention to your psyche. - The psyche gauge is just
below Snake's health bar. The higher the bar is, the greater Snake's
psyche is, and thus, better performance. High amounts of stress in
combat will cause his psyche to deplete gradually; this occurs
frequently during bosses and will drop your aim considerably. Eating
noodles, drinking Regain, smoking a cigarette, resting, reading a
magazine and the syringe you receive later on all help keep the
psyche meter high.
3. Take cover often and rest. - If you take a lot of damage and don't
have much recovery items left, find safe cover and have Snake rest
idly as long as possible. Snake's health will gradually restore
itself. The higher Snake's psyche gauge, the quicker it will restore.
The higher Snake's psyche gauge, the quicker it will restore.

====================================================
1. Laughing Octopus (LOCT)
====================================================
Difficulty: Medium
The first boss you fight, it seems like quite awhile before you even
fought one. Unlike most first bosses in the series, Laughing Octopus
is not a push around and can deal some serious damage if you don't
think on your feet.
Octopus will rely on the same technology - Octocamo as well as
facecamo which allows her to take on the face or even shape of
another object or person. Because of this, it's important to keep
note of your surroundings and any changes.
If you are going for a tranq kill, prepare for a long fight. Stun
Grenades work well here, as she will usually deflect your MK bullets
with her tentacles. Fighting her upfront as she is approaching you is
usually useless in this sense.
She will primarily attempt to fool you by using disguises and
blending into the environment. Using your night vision on the Solid
Eye is a good tactic for discovering where she is. Pay close
attention to the radar as well, she will frequently yell and give out
her location. She will not move from her position until you shoot her
out of it. Make good use of this advantage and rest to recover health
when needed.
Occasionally, Octopus will send out these small floating red orbs
that will attach themselves to you if they touch you. You can either
shoot them in the air or roll if they attach to you. They will
explode after some time if you run away from them as well.
Be careful to maintain distance from her as well, her tentacle attack
has range and can deal a large bit of damage. Be especially careful
of her rolling attack which can catch you extremely quickly and deals
massive damage if you are hit. Find a crate to go up on if you see
this coming.
Normal weaponry will take awhile to bring her down with, any heavy
assault weapons will bring her down faster. If you are just going for
the facecamo, you can lethal kill the beast.
After you kill Laughing Octopus, she will shed her protective armor
and enter human form: Laughing Beauty. I don't really consider this
its own boss fight so I am including it here. All you must do is keep
shooting her as she slowly walks to you. There is no reason to get
hit at all, and if you do she will try to choke you, in which you can
easily shake her off. I recommend stamina killing her for her
facecamo. You will eventually land shots and bring her down
regardless of her dodging.
Congratulations! You have beaten the first boss.
