Is Ishmael a hallucination to Ocelot too? Remember, Big Boss popped out of the vehicle that Venom and Ishmael were riding in. Venom would not have been able to hallucinate the details of that seen, unless Ocelot was also hallucinating.

Aren't Volgin's fire attacks psychic based? Ishmael could have avoided damage through sheer mental strength. But if that's not how it works, Kojima may not have wanted to program in fire damage effects to character's skin and clothes.

I'm confused as to what wetting oneself has to do with hallucinations... Volgin's fire attack are actual fire because otherwise the House of the devil in the "voices" mission wouldn't have burned down,

Venom could have hallucinated the conversation between Big Boss and Ocelot, during the Paz cut scene we see Miller and Ocelot explain Paz's condition, then she is revealed to be a hallucination, so I suppose Snake hallucinated the whole conversation, and that doesn't mean Ocelot and Miller where having the exact same hallucination hahahahahhahahaha

To answer Jim Ishmael was completely engulfed by the flames and we even see him burning and yelling, and two seconds later he is perfectly fine, and characters do get burned if Volgin hits you during his "boss battle" snake's skin looks burned.

Although like I said I'm just being stubborn you two are probably right :P
