In Act 5 of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on the PlayStation 3, you must inject yourself with the syringe in able to engage in combat with Screaming Mantis. To do so, press Start to open the pause menu. In the Item menu, go to the Recovery Items tab and select the Syringe and put it in your inventory. Then exit the pause menu to return to the game. Hold down L2 to open the Item window, select the syringe and follow the instructions onscreen to inject yourself. You are now able to use your weapons against Screaming Mantis. At some points during the boss battle, she may shoot fireballs at you. If you are hit you must inject yourself with the syringe again.
When the battle starts, use the syringe. Shoot at her dolls, the blue on first. Eventually, she will control Meryll. Inject Meryll with the syringe, and continue to attack the blue doll. She will again try to control Meryll, so inject her again. Now you can knock away her blue doll. Pick it up when she drops it. She can no longer control the dead bodies. Now shoot the orange doll. Once you get it, equip it, hit Mantis with it, then shake the controller. You should win. (Note: this counts as a stamina kill)
From gamefaqs.com: 6. Screaming Mantis ==================================================== Recommended Weaponry (Lethal/Non-Lethal) - Assault Rifle, Mantis Doll (to win) This fight is extremely nostalgic to Psycho Mantis, and you will soon find out why. You must protect yourself, as well as Meryl's own life from Mantis' control. Begin the fight by immediately injecting yourself with the syringe, the actual fight will begin once you do that. If you look carefully, you will notice two dolls to the left and right of Mantis. A Psycho Mantis doll and a The Sorrow doll. You must shoot these, not Mantis herself. Be careful of the floating FROG corpses, they can shoot you or stab you if you get too close. Once you shoot either doll a few times, Mantis will begin to manipulate Meryl more and have her attack you. Take cover behind one of the pillars at the top of the stairs, and Meryl will leap over to you. Grab her using a CQC attack (remember only handguns, knives or unarmed for a grab), make sure the syringe is equipped, and then press the action button when she is grabbed to inject her with the syringe. Basically this is the exact same thing you did to Vamp. It will instantly knock her out. Once Meryl is knocked out, continue to fire on Mantis' dolls. After another few more hits, Mantis will raise Meryl once again, and put the gun to her head this time. Quickly go down to the center of the battlefield and grab Meryl in another CQC hold and inject her again with the syringe. The FROGS corpses will most likely be near you and will attempt to stop you. Keep trying to hit her with the syringe if they land a hit on you. Once you deal with Meryl again, you will finally be able to kill Mantis freely. Continue to work on whatever doll you were shooting at the time, you will notice it gradually fall from her side. After about 10 hits or so it will fall from her side and fall to the ground nearby. Quickly run to where the doll fell and pick it up before she does herself. Repeat this for the second doll. Be careful of her warping and slash attack, she will scream "SNAAAAAKE" before she warps to you, giving you plenty of time to run away. Once the second doll falls, you can now kill Mantis. Equip the Mantis doll and fire off the projectile at her. If it lands, you will be able to string her up like she did to the others. Hold L1 and keep moving the Sixaxis back and forth between you and the screen, this will shake her and inflict damage to her. You can kill her in one go with this, quickly ending the fight. Note that both her stamina and health gauge will deplete together. *To end this fight quickly you only need to bring down the Mantis doll and use it against her. The Sorrow doll is not needed to win, however if it is your first time playing shoot both dolls so you can acquire both for future playthroughs. You know the drill now, either tranq or lethal kill Screaming Beauty to win.
