The End, when fought in a fair sniper duel is still one of the best sniper battles in the series bar none. Though Sniper Wolf is my other favorite.

Apparently I forgot to save and had to fight the End again.

I just love the scope of this boss; it covers 3 areas, it's 1v1, and there's so many tricks both parties can pull (and not all of them can be found on the wiki's/guides). I.E. I was in first person view and killed a frog with a knife. This caused the End to spawn right behind me (literally at my feet) when exiting first person view and shoot me point blank. They do say he is "in touch with the forest" after all.

Hunting him down and sneaking up behind him is my favourite strategy. Today I tried throwing live snakes at him but they won't bite him. One of my favourite things is to sneak up on his hiding spot and place claymores in the directions he can escape to. After shooting him point blank he will run into the mines, giving you extra follow-up damage and more time to chase him.

I wonder if you can plant TNT on him. And is it possible to CQC him? I need to do more testing!

Edit: apparently using the fake death pill causes him to come close to you and see if you're alive.
