This a walkthrough and strategy guide for the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
game. It is the fifth game in the Metal Gear series and follows the very
successful Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. You (as Snake) must work to
infiltrate enemy territories using stealth in order to complete various
missions.
With any action-based game, there are difficult parts as well as some easy
parts. The goal of this guide is to help you accomplish each mission and not
to tell the "story" (that will come as you play the game). The strategy
provided for each mission or objective is only ONE way it can be done, there
can be many. It is recommended that a mission be attempted before reading the
strategy for it. You may find that the way you completed the mission is the
same or is completely different. Bear in mind that there is no right or wrong
way to complete a mission. The guide is only meant as an aid.
Finally, you have to be prepared to improvise while doing the missions.
This strategy guide is only meant as an aid and is not 100% foolproof.
Enemies can appear in different locations if a different route is taken, you
have been detected or the mission objectives are done in a different order.
Decisions must be made based on the current situation, remaining undetected,
and being able to complete the objectives.
******************************************************************************
4. General Information
******************************************************************************
Whenever specific traveling directions are given, they are given based on your
view into the game, not the character's view. For example, the direction
"left" refers to the left side of the screen and not the character's left
side. In addition, compass directions will occasionally be used (e.g., north,
southwest, etc.). These are based on an overhead view of the area (as seen on
the Map in the Survival Viewer menu), even when using the first person view.
During the missions, there are several special displays shown on the screen.
The most important is the life gauge displayed in the upper left corner. It
shows the amount of life remaining and is the most vital to watch during the
game. If the indicator reaches zero (empty), the game is over. The gauge
will decrease as injuries are sustained by enemy attacks, falling, becoming
sick or poisoned, etc. The life gauge will restore itself over time based
on the current stamina level. The life gauge can also be restored by saving
the game or taking a Life Medicine. If a serious injury (i.e., stab wound,
broken bone) is sustained, a portion of the indicator will turn red. If
this occurs, you must select the proper treatment for the type of injury
from the Cure option on the Survival Viewer menu (refer to the Medical
Treatment section for additional information). The life gauge regenerates
very slowly (or not at all) as long as there is an injury.
Located below the life gauge is the stamina gauge that displays the amount
of energy. If the stamina gets too low, the ability to do various things
(e.g., running, aiming a gun, etc.) will become impaired. The amount of
stamina will also affect how quickly the life gauge will be naturally
restored and the size of the grip and O2 gauges when they appear. In order
to replenish the stamina gauge, you must find food and then eat it from the
Food option on the Survival Viewer menu (refer to the Food section for
additional information).
When hanging onto a ledge or railing, the stamina gauge will be replaced
with the grip gauge showing the amount of grip. The initial amount and the
rate it decreases are based on the current amount of stamina. When the
indicator reaches zero, you will fall.
When swimming underwater, the stamina gauge will be replaced with the O2
gauge showing the amount of air remaining. The initial amount and the rate
it decreases are based on the current amount of stamina. When the indicator
reaches zero, the life gauge will begin to decrease.
If you are engaged in a "boss" battle or are operating with a partner, the
other person's life and stamina gauge will also be displayed in the upper left
corner.
If a special item has been equipped, it will be displayed in the lower left
corner of the display. If the item uses a battery (e.g., motion detector), a
gauge will be displayed above the item indicating the battery's life. If the
gauge reaches zero, all items using a battery will no longer function until
the batteries are recharged. The battery will automatically recharge over
time when not being used and the rate of recharging is based upon the stamina
gauge. If there is more than one of the items being carried (e.g., Life
Medicine), the number remaining and the maximum number that can be carried
will be displayed.
If a weapon has been equipped, it will be displayed in the lower right corner
of the display. This display will show various information about the
currently selected weapon. If the weapon uses ammunition, the number of
bullets remaining and the maximum number that can be carried will be
displayed. If the weapon has multiple firing modes, the current firing mode
will also be displayed (1 bullet = single shot, 3 bullets = burst, 5 bullets =
full automatic). If the weapon has a suppressor attached, a gauge will
displayed above the weapon indicator the suppressor's strength. If the gauge
reaches zero, the suppressor will no longer silence the gun. Finally, if the
weapon can be used in Close Quarters Combat (CQC), the display will show a red
"CQC" for the weapon (refer to the Close Quarters Combat section for
additional information).
The upper right corner of the display will show the camouflage and face paint
being worn. Refer to the Camouflage section for additional information.

In order to avoid detection by the enemy, camouflage is worn to help blend in
with the surroundings. It is divided into two parts: uniform and face paint.
The current uniform and face paint being worn is displayed in the upper right
corner of the display. Located below the current camouflage is the number
representing how well you are blending into the surroundings (known as the
camouflage percent). The higher the number, the harder it is to be detected
by the enemies. This number is also affected by whether you are moving and
your current body position (standing, crouching, prone).
The current uniform and face paint being worn can be changed by selecting the
Camouflage option from the Survival Viewer menu and then selecting the Face or
Uniform option. After the option is selected, a list of available patterns or
uniforms is displayed. Each selection will have a number that indicates its
effectiveness for the current area. The number shows how much the camouflage
percent will change if selected. The higher the number, the greater the
camouflage effect.

As you progress through the missions, energy is expended causing the Stamina
gauge to decrease. In order to replenish it, food must be eaten. The amount
it is restored is based on the food's taste (better tasting foods replenishes
stamina more). Various vegetables, fruits and animals can be turned into food
items by attacking them with your hands or a weapon. Dead animals, vegetables
and fruit will spoil after a certain amount of time (based on the difference
between the console's date and the date of the save file). If an animal is
captured alive, it will not spoil. However, only three live animals may be
kept at a time.
Selecting Food from the Survival Viewer menu will display a list of the food
that has been collected. Each item will display a picture of the food and its
current state: cage (live capture), no flies (ready to eat), one fly (starting
to spoil - may become ill if eaten), two flies (spoiled - will become ill if
eaten). If the spoiled food is eaten, you will become sick and need to
administer medical treatment (refer to the Medical Treatment section for
additional information).
Food can also be used as a weapon. A live animal can be thrown at an enemy to
frighten them. Spoiled food can be thrown in front of enemies and when eaten,
they will become sick and leave their post.

4.7 Close Quarters Combat (CQC)
******************************************************************************
Close Quarters Combat (CQC) is used to engage one or more enemies in close
proximity using a series of movements to disarm the enemy or provide defense.
It is extremely useful in battle. CQC can only be used with weapons that
allow one hand to be free to pull an enemy. The CQC weapons are indicated by
a red "CQC" in the weapon display and are the following: Survival knife, MK-
22, M1911A1, EZ-Gun, and Knockout Handkerchief.
In order to perform CQC, you must get behind an enemy undetected. The best
way to do this is by stalking. Once you are behind an enemy, you have two
options. The first is to simultaneously pressing the circle button and moving
the left analog stick. This will throw the enemy hard enough that they will
be rendered unconscious. The second option is to press the circle button
without moving the left analog stick. This will grab the enemy in a
chokehold. Once an enemy has been grabbed, any of the following can be
performed:
* Interrogate: Press and hold the L3 button to extract information from the
enemy. Releasing and re-pressing the L3 button will extract additional
information. Be careful since enemies will sometimes lie in order to get
away.
* Human shield: Press and hold the square button to use the enemy as a human
shield. Other enemies in the area will not fire their weapons for fear of
hitting the hostage. Use the First Person View to aim and shoot at other
enemies while holding a human shield.
* Throw: Press the circle button and move left analog stick to throw the enemy
down in front of you.
* Drag: While lightly holding the circle button, use the left analog stick to
drag the enemy's body.
* Cut throat: Press and hold the circle button to slit the enemy's throat with
the knife.
* Break neck: Press the circle button repeatedly to first render the enemy
unconscious and continue to break his neck.
******************************************************************************
4.8 Enemy Status
******************************************************************************
An icon appears over each enemy's head to indicate their status and whether
they are aware of your presence. The following are the enemy status
indicators:
? : Suspicious of something seen out of corner of eye and will stare for a
moment. If nothing else is seen, he will return to normal patrol route.
! (blue) : Noticed a strange sight or heard a strange noise and will move to
investigate.
! (red) : Spotted you, alert stage will be entered and will call for
reinforcements on the radio.
If you have not been detected by the enemies, the enemies will travel their
normal patrol routes. However, if you are detected, the enemy actions will
change and the following alert modes will occur:
Alert (red): You have been spotted by an enemy. He will call for
reinforcements on the radio and additional enemies will enter the area. If
the enemy who spotted you is quickly killed or neutralized, the alert mode
will be cancelled immediately. Otherwise, it will continue for 99.99 seconds.
Evasion (orange): Begins once the alert mode timer expires. During this mode,
the enemies have lost sight of you but are still actively searching (i.e.,
looking in trees, under tables, etc.). If you are spotted during this stage,
the alert mode will be restarted. The mode will also last for 99.99 seconds.
Caution (yellow): Begins once the evasion mode timer expires or if an enemy
hears gunfire or explosion in the area but does not see it. During this mode,
the enemies are more alert and additional soldiers may be brought into the
area. This mode also lasts for 99.99 seconds. If an enemy spots a dead body,
footprints, etc., the timer will reset to 99.99.
******************************************************************************
4.10 Radio
******************************************************************************
The radio is used to allow you to communicate with various other individuals
in the game. These individuals provide you with valuable information
throughout the game. The radio is started by pressing the SELECT button.
Once in radio mode, the frequency can be manually adjusted by pressing the
left analog stick right or left or by pressing down to select a frequency from
memory. Once the desired frequency is obtained, press the circle button to
begin the transmission.
Occasionally "CALL" will be displayed on the screen indicating you are
receiving a call from another person. If the sign is displayed in red, the
call is urgent and the radio mode will automatically be entered. If the sign
is displayed in white, press the SELECT button to enter radio mode to answer
the call.
The following list is the various frequencies used during the game:
140.85 - Major Tom
141.80 - The Boss (available only during Virtuous Mission)
141.96 - Save
142.52 - Eva (available only during Operation Snake Eater)
145.73 - Para-Medic
148.41 - Sigint (available only during Operation Snake Eater)
Located in each area is a green Kerotan Frog (64 total). When a frog is shot
with a gun or punched, it will "rib-bit". If all of the frogs are shot, you
will receive the stealth camouflage [UNIFORM/STEALTH] when the ending credits
are over. All frogs do not have be shot in a single playthrough (i.e., shot
frogs carry over when starting a new game from a save file). However, if you
die in an area after shooting a frog, you must re-shoot it after continuing
the game.
The Kerotan Frog locations are listed in each area in the mission walkthrough.
******************************************************************************
4.12 General Tips and Strategies
******************************************************************************
Here are some additional general tips and strategies to use while playing the
game:
- When a weapon is quickly unselected and reselected, the weapon will be
reloaded (known as a tactical reload). This is extremely useful with slow
reloading weapons or during boss battles since it decreases the amount of time
needed to perform a reload. This should be used during boss battles when the
half of the magazine is used to prevent having to manually reload.
- Headshots will kill or tranquilize an enemy immediately. It will take
several shots to the body (depending on the area hit and the difficulty
setting) to accomplish the same thing.
- Answer all radio calls since they provide a valuable source of information.
- Always pick up packaged food items since they will not spoil.
- Be sure to always watch the Stamina gauge and eat food if it becomes too
low. Only eat packaged items if you are in area when no animals or fruit can
be found. Otherwise, gather food and eat it immediately to prevent it from
spoiling.
- Use stealth as much as possible since gun battles are difficult in some
sections, especially if you have not acquired weapons.
- Be sure to pick up any items or weapons discovered, but only carry weapons
or items that are needed for the particular area.
- If a dead, unconscious or sleeping enemy is picked up and dropped, he will
drop various items. Be sure to do this for any enemies that are
incapacitated.
- Swimming through water is much quicker than wading or walking through it.
- When shooting an enemy (other than during boss battles), aim for the head
since this will put him to sleep (if using a tranquilizer gun) or kill him
with one shot. It takes more shots when the enemy is hit on other parts of
the body (the number depending on the game difficulty setting).
- Only tranquilize or kill the necessary enemies. That is, sneak past them
without neutralizing them whenever possible. This is important since if a
dead or asleep enemy is spotted, the sleeping soldier will be awoken or a
caution mode will occur.
- Always pick up weapon suppressors since their use is vital to remaining
undetected.
- Roll down a flight of stairs to reach the bottom quickly.
- Changing the camouflage or items being carried before entering an area where
the game will be saved will eliminate having to changes these things when
reloading the game (since the game is saved with the items when entering an
area and not when actually selecting to save).
Although the soldiers encountered during the missions can be eliminated by any
means, this walkthrough will focus on subduing them using non-lethal means
(i.e., tranquilizing or rendering unconsciousness).
During each mission, there will be various weapons and items located in the
area that can be picked up and added to your backpack. The walkthrough will
indicate the items to be picked up that are along your path (although not all
of the weapons and items may be used.) The path will only include specific
weapons or items that are needed or are helpful later in the mission. A list
is also included that gives the location of any additional weapons and items
that can be found in the area. Note that the indicated ammunition item will
only appear if that weapon has been picked up (e.g., AK-47 ammunition will
only be seen if the AK-47 is being carried or is in the backpack). If the
weapon has not been picked up, the ammunition will be for a different weapon.
This walkthrough was originally written on the Normal difficulty setting.
There may be more or less enemy soldiers on the other difficulty settings and
their patrol routes may be different. Soldier locations and strategies for a
specific difficulty setting will be enclosed in parentheses where applicable.
******************************************************************************
5.1.1 Dremuchji South
******************************************************************************
Travel north along the path until receiving a call from the Major. After the
call, follow the path west and then north. Crawl under the fallen tree and
continue north until reaching the tree with ivy with your backpack hanging off
a branch on the right. Climb the tree and walk onto the branch to retrieve
the backpack. After the backpack has been retrieved, you will receive another
call from the Major. After the call, follow the path north.
Additional weapons/items in area:
LF MED - From starting location, follow path east and north to top of hill
Kerotan Frog - After retrieving backpack, re-climb the tree and face south.
The frog is located next to the top of the hill to the
southeast near a tree.
Travel north along the path until reaching the swamp. The swamp contains
quicksand that if entered, will cause you to slowly sink. Once it reaches
your chest level, you will die. Move west around the edge of the swamp and
slowly past the alligators (use the Mk22 to tranquilize the alligators if
necessary). Pick up the Mk22 suppressor [SP/Mk22] in the northwest corner of
the swamp and continue moving around the edge of the swamp until reaching the
path on the north side. When reaching the path, follow it north.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Mk22 BULLET - Next to tree on island in center of swamp
GRENADE - In tall grass near tree on east side of swamp (near alligators)
Kerotan Frog - After moving around the quicksand, follow the path north
until reaching a group of trees on the right. The frog is
located on the hill to the southeast of the trees.
******************************************************************************
5.1.3 Dremuchji North
******************************************************************************
When entering the area, a cutscene will be seen and you will receive a call
from the Major. Once the call is over, change the camouflage uniform to Leaf
and the face paint to Woodland. Crawl into the hollow log to the left
(northwest) and pick up the bug juice [BUG JUICE] inside. A soldier will
approach from the north. Shoot the soldier with the Mk22 when he approaches.
After the soldier is asleep, proceed north until reaching the grass where the
path continues straight (north) and right (east). There is a soldier
patrolling in the section to the north. When he is out of view, go down the
path on the right (east) until reaching the fallen trees on the right (south).
Pick up the stun grenade [STUN G] behind the tree.
There is a soldier patrolling in the section to the northeast. Move east
until reaching the start of the grass. Use the Mk22 to shoot the soldier.
Move around the fallen tree and then northeast until reaching the hollow tree
trunk. Move inside of the tree trunk to pick up the Mk22 ammunition [Mk22
BULLET].
Move north along the cliff until reaching the downed, hollow tree trunk.
Crawl through the trunk, picking up the thermal goggles [THERM G]. Another
soldier will be patrolling in the section at the top of the hill to the north.
Use the thermal goggles to locate him and use the Mk22 to tranquilize him.
Once he is asleep, follow the cliff north until reaching the path on the
right. There is another soldier patrolling to the west. When he moves to the
west, follow the path. Be cautious since the patrolling soldier may see you
or the body.
Additional weapons/items in area:
SVD - Next to cliff at end of path to the right (east) of starting location
GRENADE - In hollow tree on left side of path when path continues straight
and turns right
Kerotan Frog - On top of the north side of the hollow tree trunk containing
the Mk22 ammunition in the far eastern section
After the opening cutscene, there is a soldier patrolling near the rope bridge
and two on the bridge. Shoot the hornet's nest (white ball) located in the
trees to the right of the bridge when the soldier is near it. The hornets
will attack the patrolling soldier who will then run across the bridge and
cause the hornets to attack the soldiers on the opposite side. Once the
soldiers are eliminated, quickly move across the center of the bridge. If you
are too close to the edge, you will fall off and hang from the edge.
After crossing the bridge, there is a soldier either moving along the path to
the west or walking south toward the bridge from the tree where the path turns
left. If the soldier is moving along the path to the west, Crouch and shoot
him with the Mk22 when he is in view; otherwise shoot him with the Mk22
immediately after crossing the bridge before being spotted. Once he is
asleep, follow the path to the north.
Additional weapons/items in area:

When entering the area, a cutscene will be seen and you will receive a call
from the Major. Once the call is over, there is a soldier standing on the
path to the north of the wall and another soldier patrolling in the far north
area. Quietly move north along the path and shoot the soldier with the Mk22.
Once he is asleep, follow the fence to the east and then north.
(EXTREME: There is a soldier standing at the top of the stairs on the west
side of the building.) (HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier patrolling from the
south side of the building to the east side of the building near the southeast
corner. Shoot the soldier with the Mk22.) (NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: There is a
soldier walking along the east side of the building. Shoot the soldier with
the Mk22.) Move to the ladder on the north end of the east side of the
building. Climb up the ladder onto the roof. Walk south along the roof until
it ends, jump down into the room and move toward the door on the north wall.
When the door is approached, a series of cutscenes with Sokolov and the Ocelot
unit will be seen. Once the cutscenes are over, move south out of the
building and then follow the path west and then south.
Additional weapons/items in area:
LF MED - Northeast corner of northwest room of building
M37 - Left side of crates in southwest room of building
XM16E1 BULLET - Top of stairs in west area of building
SP/XM16E1 - Top of stairs in west area of building
Kerotan Frog - At the base of the stairs on the west side of the building,
there is a hole in the wall to the north. The frog is
located on the hill to the north. (Tip: Shoot the frog
after the cutscenes with the Ocelot unit.)
After the opening cutscene with Sokolov, Volgin and The Boss, you will receive
a call from Para-Medic and be on the riverbank with broken bones and deep cut
injuries that you need to treat. Medical treatment is administered by
selecting Cure from the Survival Viewer menu. You must treat the broken bones
with a splint and bandage and the cuts with suture kit, styptic, disinfectant
and bandage. Refer to the Medical Treatment section for additional
information. Once all of your injuries have been treated, a final cutscene
will be seen and you will be asked if you want to save the game.
******************************************************************************
5.2.1 Dremuchji East
******************************************************************************
Travel north along the path.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - When the path turns northwest before leaving the area, there
are fallen trees on top of the hill on the left. The
frog is located under the trees.
******************************************************************************
5.2.2 Dremuchji North
******************************************************************************
Move northwest along the path and when reaching the ledge, jump off. Continue
west on the path and a cutscene will be seen where you will lose your M1911A1.
Shortly after the cutscene, two soldiers will patrol from the north and
discover the crashed drone. When they do, a caution mode will occur.
Immediately after the cutscene, move south along the path into Dremuchji
Swampland to prevent or cancel the caution mode. (Note: You can also proceed
south through Dremuchji Swampland into Dremuchji South to find a stun grenade
[STUN G] and grenade [GRENADE] behind a tree in the southeast section. In
addition, there is a Kerotan Frog located in Dremuchji Swampland behind the
tree along the northwest section of the swamp. There is also a Kerotan Frog
located in Dremuchji South on the hill in the far southwest corner of the
area.)
Return to Dremuchji North and travel north along the path until reaching the
area where a path forks to the right for the second time (immediately after
passing the crashed drone on the left). Use the survival knife to kill the
snake in the grass before being bitten. There is a soldier patrolling in the
section to the north. Get into the prone position in the grass and change the
camouflage uniform to Leaf and the face paint to Woodland. Use the binoculars
to locate and watch the soldier's movements. (HARD/EXTREME: There is also a
soldier walking west toward the fork along the path to the right. Wait until
the soldier turns around and starts walking to the east before proceeding.)
When he turns away (north), begin to stalk behind him. He will walk north,
briefly pause, begin walking northeast, briefly pause again and then turn
around. Once behind him, use a CQC throw to knock him unconscious before he
turns around.
There is another soldier patrolling in the section to the east and moves up
the hill leading to the north path. Use the binoculars to see if the soldier
is near the top of the hill. Once he is not in view (or walking away), move
northeast until reaching the path between the rocks and follow the path north.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - When reaching the area when a path forks to the right for
a second time, proceed east along the path until reaching
the climbable tree and face west. The frog is on top of
the hill. (Note: This frog cannot be shot until a weapon
is obtained in Rassvet.) (Tip: Return to the area after
receiving the Mk22 and the Ocelot unit battle in Rassvet
since the weapon can be used to tranquilize the soldiers.)
Follow the path north until reaching the tree at the top of the hill and get
into the prone position. There is a soldier patrolling near the entrance to
the rope bridge. (VERY EASY/EASY/NORMAL/HARD: When the soldier turns north
and begins walking toward the bridge, move down the hill, stalk behind him and
use a CQC throw to knock him unconscious. Once the soldier is unconscious,
move across the bridge.) (EXTREME: There is also a soldier walking
north/south next to the ledge on the left (west). Move or make noise to cause
the soldier near the bridge entrance to become suspicious. He will move up
the path on the hill on the west side. When he begins moving west, quickly go
down the hill and move east next to the cliff. Follow the cliff north to the
edge and then quickly cross the bridge.) If you are too close to the edge,
you will fall off and hang from the edge.
After crossing the bridge, continue until reaching the tree where the path
turns left. (EXTREME: There is a soldier standing next to the edge of the
cliff on the far right (east) side.) (NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier
moving along the path to the west that leads to the edge of the cliff. Crouch
and wait for the soldier to begin moving south along the path. When he does,
stalk behind him and use a CQC throw to knock him unconscious.) (VERY
EASY/EASY/NORMAL/HARD: Move to the end of the path at edge of the cliff.
Press against the rocks on the right and quickly walk along the narrow ledge
to the alcove under the rope bridge. Pick up the life medicine [LF MED],
raindrop camouflage [UNIFORM/RAINDROP] and smoke grenade [SMOKE G]. Once the
items are collected, move west along the ledge to the path and follow it
north.) (EXTREME: There is a soldier moving along the path to the west that
leads to the edge of the cliff. Crouch and wait for the soldier to begin
moving south along the path. When he does, follow the path north.)
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On top of the right (east) bridge support post on the
north side of the bridge. (Note: This frog cannot be shot
until a weapon is obtained in Rassvet.) (Tip: Return to the
area after receiving the Mk22 and the Ocelot unit battle in
Rassvet since the weapon can be used to tranquilize the
soldiers.)
Follow the path north until reaching the building. Proceed to the east side
and pick up the bug juice [BUG JUICE] near the gate in the northeast corner.
Move to the north side of the building and pick up the zombie face paint
[FACE/ZOMBIE] in the southwest corner by the fence. Proceed to the ladder on
the east side of the building and climb it to the roof. Jump off the west
side of the roof into the room. Pick up the cardboard box [C BOX A] on top of
the crates. Move through the door in the southeast corner into the room and
pick up the mine detector [MINE D] in the southeast corner. Move through the
door on the north wall into the room and pick up the thermal goggles [THERM G]
in the locker in the southwest corner. Exit the room and a cutscene with Eva
will be seen. She will give you an Mk22, M1911A1 and a scientist disguise and
you will be asked if you want to save the game.
Additional weapons/items in area:
AK-47 - Top of stairs in west area of building
Kerotan Frog - Under the stairs in west section of the building
******************************************************************************
5.2.5 Rassvet (Part 2 - Ocelot unit battle)
******************************************************************************
After the opening cutscene with Eva, an evasion mode will occur. Members of
the Ocelot unit will begin searching and four of them will breach the room and
move into it. Quickly crawl under the bed and equip a stun grenade. Once the
soldiers have moved into the room, throw a stun grenade so that it lands near
the feet of the soldiers standing to the right of the door near the locker.
This will knock one or more of the soldiers unconscious. Shoot the remaining
soldiers with the Mk22.
Once all of the soldiers are asleep, crawl out from under the bed, move to the
trap door in the northwest corner and open it. Crawl south to the grated
openings on the left. (VERY EASY/EASY/NORMAL/HARD: Shoot the soldier
patrolling on the east side of the building with the Mk22.) (EXTREME: Two
soldiers will move from the south side of the building to the east side.
Shoot both soldiers with the Mk22.)
Continue crawling south until reaching the opening in the south wall. (VERY
EASY/EASY/NORMAL/HARD: A soldier will walk back and forth and momentarily stop
on the right and left sides. Move to the left side of the opening and shoot
the soldier with the Mk22 when he stops on the right side.) (EXTREME: There
is a soldier standing along the fence to the far south. Shoot the soldier
with the Mk22.)
(HARD: There is also a soldier moving along the south side of the building.
Crawl northwest into the west section and then south until reaching the
opening in the south wall. Shoot the soldier with the Mk22 when he passes
between the gap in the wall to the south.)
After shooting the soldier, crawl northwest to the opening in the north
exterior wall of the building and crawl outside. A sniper is on the roof and
he will stop at each corner. While staying close to the building, move to the
northeast corner and wait for the sniper to move to the corner. When he moves
away, quickly climb the ladder on the east side of the building and shoot the
sniper with the Mk22 before he turns around. The shot must be to the head or
he will turn around and spot you! (Note: If the sniper falls off the roof, he
will be killed and this will be counted as a kill.)
(NORMAL/HARD: Once the sniper is asleep, jump off the west side of the roof
into the room. Move south into the next room and then west into the room
containing a set of stairs. To the west of the bottom of the stairs is an
opening in the wall near the ground. There is a soldier standing outside of
the wall. Get into the prone position and shoot the soldier with the Mk22
through the opening.)
(EXTREME: Once the sniper is asleep, jump off the east side of the roof and
move south along the fence until even with the south wall of the building
(approximately 1/2 of the way before the fence turns west). There is a
soldier standing on the far west side of the building and will begin walking
east. Shoot the soldier with the Mk22. (Tip: Equip the thermal goggles since
the soldier is difficult to see.) Move south along the fence until it turns
west. Proceed west until reaching the tree before the barrels on the right.
Crawl west until the soldier standing along the west fence can be seen. Shoot
the soldier with the Mk22.)
Once all of the soldiers are eliminated, move toward the gate in the northeast
corner to trigger a cutscene with Ocelot and Eva. Once the cutscene is over,
move through the gate.
Note: Once a soldier is asleep or unconscious, he will not wake up.
Additional weapons/items in area:
SMOKE G - Northwest corner of northwest room of building
M1911A1 BULLET - Top of stairs in west area of building
Kerotan Frog - Under the stairs in west section of the building
IMPORTANT NOTE: While in the water, leeches will attach to your body. Once
attached, you will hear a brief sucking sound and they will begin draining the
stamina gauge. You need to periodically use the Cure option from the Survival
Viewer menu to check for leeches and if they are present, use the Cigar to
remove them. Refer to the Medical Treatment section for additional
information.
Equip the M1911A1 and remove the suppressor. There are numerous Indian Gavial
alligators in the lake. Use the thermal goggles when swimming to locate the
alligator positions. Either swim around them or shoot them with the M1911A1.
Move along the shore to the southwest section of the lake. Go into the water
and pick up the white phosphorous grenade [WP G], smoke grenade [SMOKE G] and
AK-47 ammunition [AK-47 BULLET]. Swim north to the west section of the lake
and swim under the green logs until reaching the shallow water. Pick up the
Mk22 ammunition [Mk22 BULLET] and grenade [GRENADE]. Proceed north on the
shore until receiving a call from Eva. After the call is completed, continue
until reaching the tree with ivy on the right. Beware of the trap located to
the north of the tree (dark area on the ground - use the thermal goggles to
see). Climb the tree and hang onto the rope. Move east across the rope until
directly above another rope. Let go of the rope and immediately press the
triangle button to grab the second rope. Move north across the rope until
reaching the small island. Drop off the rope and pick up the crocodile cap
[CROC CAP] on the south tip of the island.
Jump off the south tip island into the water and pick up the stun grenade
[STUN G] and M1911A1 ammunition [M1911A1 BULLET]. Proceed to the northeast
corner of the lake to pick up the GA-KO camouflage [UNIFORM/GA-KO] and chaff
grenade [CHAFF G]. Proceed west along the path. When the path turns north
after passing the trees, there will be a trip wire across the path that when
broken, will cause a large log with spikes to swing into the path. Move to
the left side of the trip wire and shoot it. Move around the large log with
spikes and follow the path north.
Tip: There is limited food available in the next several areas. Shoot the
Indian Gavial alligators or Arrowana fish in the lake to be sure you have an
ample supply of food.

Follow the path north until reaching the electrical fence. Crawl under the
right side of the fence along the path. Equip the thermal goggles to see the
location of the five claymore mines in the near vicinity. (HARD/EXTREME:
There is also a trip wire connected to a noisemaker between the two trees.)
Crawl northwest to the hole in the next fence on the hill (use the thermal
goggles to see the hole's location). (Note: Crawling over a claymore mine
[CLAYMORE] will pick it up).
(VERY EASY/EASY/NORMAL/HARD: After crawling through the hole in the fence,
there is a guard dog sitting near the tree to the west.) (EXTREME: After
crawling through the hole in the fence, there is a guard dog walking west
along the cliff to the north.) (HARD/EXTREME: There is another guard dog
walking to the left (west).) Crawl east, staying as close to the electrical
fence as possible, until reaching the quicksand. Change the camouflage
uniform to Tree Bark. A soldier will approach along the west side of the
quicksand and walk across the strip of land between the quicksands. Shoot the
soldier with the Mk22 when he appears. (NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: Move along the
west side of the quicksand until reaching the body. Drag the body south along
the west side of the quicksand and drop it when it is out of view of the north
end of the quicksand.)
Move along the west side of the quicksand until reaching the strip of land
between the quicksands. Climb onto the ledge on the east side and move along
the ledge to pick up the splitter camouflage [UNIFORM/SPLITTER].
There is a soldier to the west standing on the left side of the opening in the
electrical fence. (NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: There is also a soldier standing on
the right side of the opening in the electrical fence.) There is another
soldier patrolling in the section north of the fence. (HARD/EXTREME: There is
another soldier patrolling along the cliff on the far west side and a guard
dog walking in the section northwest of the fence.) There is also a trip wire
connected to a noisemaker between two trees to the south.
(NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: Move or make noise to make the soldier standing on the
right side of the opening to become suspicious. As soon as he begins moving
toward the ledge, jump off and quickly run west and then south along the
quicksand until small area, approximately 1/2 of the way to the strip of land
between the quicksands. Crouch and shoot the soldier when he reaches the
north end of the quicksand and stops to investigate. Once the soldier is

5.3.4 Bolshaya Past Crevice (Ocelot boss battle)
******************************************************************************
After the opening cutscene with Ocelot, his life and stamina gauge will be
displayed, as well as an indicator of the number of shots he has left in each
of his guns. Crouch behind the middle of rock to the left, remove the
suppressor from the Mk22 and use the first person view. Ocelot will use the
trees and rock for cover. He will peek out from around the rocks and
occasionally stop in between them. When he stops or peeks out from cover,
shoot him quickly; otherwise, he will have a clear shot. If he hits you, you
will lose the aim and first person view. Once he has been hit, you need to
move to avoid his counterattack (e.g., press the L2 button to move one step to
the left). If you run low on ammunition, wait until Ocelot is reloading
before attempting to retrieve it. As the battle progresses, Ocelot will be
able to start ricocheting his shots. When you see or hear a ricocheting shot,
begin moving to make it harder for him to aim. Occasionally the Ocelot unit
soldiers to the south will fire at you, but Ocelot will tell them to stop.
Once his life or stamina gauge is empty, the battle is over and a final
cutscene will be seen where you will fall into the cave.
Tip: When the Ocelot unit soldiers begin firing, Ocelot will stop shooting.
This provides an opportunity to shoot him.
Tip: When Ocelot is reloading his gun, he will sometimes stand in the open.
This provides an opportunity to shoot him.
Tip: If the cap is shot off Ocelot's head, he will stop to pick it up later in
the battle. This provides an opportunity to shoot him.
Tip: There are three hornet nests in the trees above Ocelot that can be shot
to momentarily distract him.

If Ocelot was defeated using non-lethal means, pick up the animals camouflage
[UNIFORM/ANIMALS] on the rock ahead to the right. When worn, this camouflage
will prevent your hand from shaking when aiming a weapon. Follow the tunnel
on the right (northeast) until reaching the open section with three tunnels.
Go through the tunnel on the left (north) and follow it until reaching the
section with two waterfalls. There is an alcove between the two waterfalls.

End of right (northeast) tunnel.
Kerotan Frog - When reaching the large hole in the ground (with the night
vision goggles on the south side), stand on the north side
of the hole and look south. The frog is located on the
ledge of the wall. (Tip: Use the night vision goggles since
the frog is difficult to see.)
Follow the narrow tunnel on the right (northeast) and when reaching the open
section, pick up the M37 [M37] and Mk22 ammunition [Mk22 BULLET] in the
center. Crawl through the tunnel in the north wall. When reaching the end,

******************************************************************************
5.4.3 Chyornaya Pescheva Cave (The Pain boss battle)
******************************************************************************
After the opening cutscene with The Pain, his life and stamina gauge will be
displayed. Change the camouflage uniform Water, equip the Mk22, remove the
suppressor (if attached) and quickly shoot The Pain several times with the
Mk22 until he covers himself with bees. When he is covered, he is impervious
to bullets. The Pain will then begin to attack using several different
methods:
1. Bee scent - He will throw jars that when broken will release a yellow gas
that will attract the bees.
2. Bee grenades - He will form a ball of bees that will slowly move toward you
and drop a grenade.
3. He will occasionally throw grenades at you.
4. Tommy gun - The bees form a gun and he will begin firing at you.
5. Bullet bees - When his stamina or life gauge reaches 50%, he will begin
shooting bullet bees (with red trails). If hit, a cut injury will be
sustained and you must treat it by selecting Cure from the Survival Viewer
menu and cure it with the suture kit, styptic, disinfectant and bandage.
Refer to the Medical Treatment section for additional information.
He will always yell before using one of these attacks. When he performs an
attack, quickly dive into the water and swim away to avoid the attack. The
bees will also sometimes swarm attack you and if The Pain cannot find you, the
bees will locate you and warn him.
After initially shooting him, swim to the rocks to the northeast of The Pain's
platform (containing the two boxes of ammunition). Throw a grenade at him to
cause him to temporarily lose the protection of the bees and then shoot him
with the Mk22 while he is uncovered. Be sure to only fire when you are sure
of a hit since you need to conserve your ammunition. Keep shooting him and
throwing grenades (if he covers himself with bees) until he uses one of his
attacks. When he does, dive into the water and begin swimming to avoid it.
Once his attack is complete, climb back onto the rocks and continue the
grenade/Mk22 attack pattern.
He will also occasionally create a mirror image of himself on the platform.
If this occurs, equip the thermal goggles to determine which is the real one
and begin shooting at him.
Be sure to keep the stamina gauge at 75% or higher since this will allow for
staying underwater for a longer amount of time. There are numerous Maroon
Sharks and Arrowana in the water that can be killed and used for food. Use
the M1911A1 with suppressor to shoot the fish since this gun will not use the
ammunition needed to defeat The Pain and the suppressor will not reveal your
position.
Once his life or stamina gauge is empty, the battle is over and a final
cutscene with The Pain will be seen. After the final cutscene is complete,
move toward the tunnel to the northeast. If The Pain was killed using non-
lethal means, move into the tunnel; otherwise climb onto the ledge to the
right (east) before entering the tunnel. Follow the ledge and roll onto the
platform where The Pain had been. Pick up the hornet stripe camouflage
[UNIFORM/HORNET STRIPE] and then move into the tunnel to the northeast. When
worn, this camouflage allow bees to stick to you after shooting a hive and
attack enemies.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Mk22 BULLET - On rock in northeast corner of area
M37 BULLET - On rock in northeast corner of area
AK-47 BULLET - On rock in southeast corner of area
M1911A1 BULLET - Under water in southeast corner of area

Kerotan Frog - After the battle, swim to the south platform (where the
battle started). The frog is located on a ledge near the
top of the north side of the large opening in the ceiling.
Follow the tunnel until reaching the open section where you will see a
cutscene of soldiers flying overhead in hovercrafts. Continue following the
tunnel until reaching the next open section. There is a bat cave alcove in
the northwest corner of the area. Crawl into the alcove to pick up two
claymore mines [CLAYMORE], M1911A1 ammunition [M1911A1 BULLET] and Mk22
ammunition [Mk22 BULLET] and AK-47 ammunition [AK-47 BULLET]. After
retrieving the items, return to the open area and continue following the
tunnel north to the cave entrance.

5.5.17 Graniny Gorki South (The Fear boss battle)
******************************************************************************
After the opening cutscene with The Fear, his life and stamina gauge will be
displayed. You will have a poisoned crossbow arrow injury that you need to
treat. Select Cure from the Survival Viewer menu, heal the poison with serum
and the crossbow arrow with the survival knife, styptic, and bandage. Refer
to the Medical Treatment section for additional information.
The Fear is wearing camouflage that makes him appear invisible and he will
jump from tree to tree. This jumping will drain his stamina gauge. Use the
thermal goggles to see him, but watch the battery life indicator.
Occasionally he will stop on a branch and shoot crossbow arrows at you. He
will either shoot multiple arrows or shoot a single "special" arrow (flaming
or with a grenade attached). Before attacking, he will always say something
to you. When his stamina reaches 50%, he will say that he is hungry, move to
the ground, find food and eat it. This will restore his stamina to full
strength.
Once the injuries are cured, hunt and pick up the poison dart frogs (R.FROG C)
in the area if you did not do so when in the area previously. The poison dart
frogs have a red body and blue legs and there are five in the area: two
northwest of the large rock in the center, one southwest of the large rock and
two in the south section near the area's south entrance. Once you have the
frogs, remove all of them from the backpack and throw each of them into a
single area. If The Fear says something indicating he is about to attack,
begin running and once the attack is completed, continue throwing the frogs.
Once all of the frogs have been thrown, equip the Mk22 and remove the
suppressor (if attached). Equip the thermal goggles and locate The Fear. If
he makes a comment indicating he is about to attack, begin running and once
the attack is completed, continue looking for him. Once he is located, follow
his movements until he stops on a branch (indicating he is getting ready to
shoot). Once he stops, shoot him with the Mk22. He will not attack and will
begin jumping again. Continue this pattern of locating him and shooting him
when he stops until his stamina gauge reaches 50% and he says he is hungry.
Once The Fear says that he is hungry, he will move to the ground to find food.
He will go for prepared food first (i.e., food that has already been turned
into rations and can be picked up). Aim for the area where the poison dart
frogs were thrown. When The Fear stops and begins eating, shoot him with the
Mk22. When he eats the frogs, he will become sick (since they are poisonous),
lose additional stamina and will move back into the trees. He will
immediately come back down and try to find food again. Shoot him again when
he comes to the poison dart frogs.
Once his life or stamina gauge is empty, the battle is over and a final
cutscene with The Fear will be seen. After the final cutscene is complete, if
The Fear was defeated using non-lethal means, pick up the spider camouflage
[UNIFORM/SPIDER] to the southwest. When worn, this camouflage will steadily
decrease your stamina. Proceed south along the path.

cautious of the soldier patrolling near the front corner (southwest) of the
cabin). Climb the tree, walk onto the branch and jump onto the roof. Change
the camouflage uniform to Tree Bark. Move to the east side of the roof where
there is a missing roof slat. A soldier will patrol in and out of the room
below. Aim at the door and shoot the soldier with the Mk22 when he appears.
Once he is asleep, crawl toward the southwest corner of the roof. After
passing the peak of the roof, look south to see if the soldier is patrolling
to the south of the cabin. Shoot him with the Mk22 if he is. Otherwise,
continue crawling to the southwest corner. Shoot the soldier with the Mk22
when he is walking along the deck or when moving south into the grass. Once
the soldier is asleep, jump off the south side of the roof and enter the cabin
through the door on the west side. (Alternate strategy: If the soldier is
leaving the room when looking through the hole in the roof, jump off the east
side of the roof and SLOWLY enter the cabin through the east door. SLOWLY
open the door on the south wall and shoot the soldier with the Mk22 as he is
walking on the south side of the room. Exit the cabin through the east door
and crawl underneath it. Wait until the remaining soldier is walking in front
of the cabin. Shoot him in the leg with the Mk22 and once he is asleep, crawl
out from underneath the cabin and enter through the door on the west side.)
Once inside of the cabin, pick up the M37 ammunition [M37 BULLET] by the
window on the south wall, the SVD ammunition [SVD BULLET] in the southeast

three soldiers are approaching along the rocks, wait until they proceed
between the rocks and begin traveling south along the path.) Proceed west
along the path between the rocks until reaching the path leading south.
Follow the path south until it turns west. (NORMAL/HARD: When approaching the
area where the first two soldiers were tranquilized, look to see if they are

Tip: It is a good idea to save the game when entering this area. If the game
is saved at the beginning of the next area when starting the boss battle, the
battle will immediately be lost if the game is reloaded on a later day.
Follow the path until reaching the tall grass by the tree on the right next to
the cliff. Move to the east side of the tree and change the camouflage
uniform to Leaf. There is a soldier on top of the hill to the south.
(NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier walking in the northwest section.
Aim west between the trees and shoot the soldier with the Mk22 when he
appears.) QUICKLY run west until reaching the path and follow it north before
being spotted by the soldier on the hill to the south.

5.6.10 Sokrovenno South/North/West (The End boss battle)
******************************************************************************
After entering the area, an opening cutscene will be seen and a call will be
received from Eva. After the call is over, select the Map option from the
Survival Viewer menu to display a map of the area. The battle takes place in
Sokrovenno South (current area), Sokrovenno North and Sokrovenno West. The
map will contain white circles that represent the locations where The End may
be. If The End shoots, the location will appear as a red circle on the map.
The End fires powerful anesthetic needles that when will rapidly drain your
stamina. If hit, select Cure from the Survival Viewer menu and use the
survival knife to remove the needle. Refer to the Medical Treatment section
for additional information. If your stamina gauge is empty, the battle will
be over and you will wake up in the jail cell in Graniny Gorki Lab B1 West.
The End's location must first be determined. The first is to run through the
area to cause him to shoot his rifle (he will make a comment just before
firing). Once he shoots, his location will appear on the Survival Viewer map.
The second method is to check each possible location to see if he is there.
Quietly move to each location, making sure to use the grass, trees and rocks
to stay as hidden as possible. When near the location, equip the thermal
goggles to see if he is there or use the directional microphone to listen for
him making noises (breathing, talking, snoring, etc.). You can also use the
binoculars to look at each location. Be careful since the lens will reflect
in the sunlight and may reveal your location. However, the scope on his
sniper rifle will also cause a reflection that will reveal his location. When
the battle starts, the end is USUALLY in one of the sniping locations on the
cliff in the northwest or northeast part of Sokrovenno South. Several methods
can be used to determine The End's location.
Once The End's position has been established, you need to approach him from
behind. Unless he hears you approaching, he will always be facing toward the
center of the area. BE SURE TO STAY OUT OF HIS LINE OF SIGHT! The following
is a list of the possible locations in each area and the best route(s) to
travel to reach the location undetected. Note that some of the locations
require approaching from a different area.

Begin stalking when nearing a location. If The End is at the location, be
sure to stay out of his line of sight and remain silent. Otherwise, he will
see or hear you and shoot at you. Use the thermal goggles to help determine
if he is at the location. If it begins to rain, The End will fall asleep. If
this occurs, you can look for the Zs above his head at the location.
Once you are behind him, point the Mk22 at his head. The End will raise his
hands, lay down his gun and lie down on the ground. Once he is lying on the
ground, point the gun at his head three times. The first two times, he will
shake and say, "I don't think so.". However, the last time he will shake and
drop the moss camouflage [UNIFORM/MOSS]. When worn, this camouflage will
increase your stamina while standing in the sunlight. Once he does, quickly
shoot him in the head three times, pick up the camouflage and change the
camouflage uniform to moss. After he has been shot, he will throw a stun
grenade and begin running to a new location. Once he throws the stun grenade,
return to normal view (if in first person view), turn away from the stun
grenade's location to avoid being blinded and begin running after him.
The End will be able to outrun you so once you lose sight of him, follow the
footprints that he leaves (using the thermal goggles will make them easier to
see). Occasionally he will stop running to catch his breath. If he does, run
behind him and shoot him with the Mk22 until he resumes running. Use the
Survival Viewer map to determine which location he is heading. Since he makes
sharp turns when running, this may need to be an educated guess. DO NOT
FOLLOW HIS FOOTPRINTS TO THE LOCATION! This is because once he reaches the
location, you will be shot if he sees or hears you. If his footprints
disappear before determining his location, you will need to find him using the
methods previously described. Once his new location is ascertained, approach
him from behind, hold him up and shoot him three times with the Mk22. He will
throw a stun grenade and run to a new location. Continue using this pattern
of locating his position, moving to his location and shooting him until he is
defeated. If The End's stamina is significantly low (down to approximately
25%), if he is not found quickly, he will begin speaking to the forest. A
large beam of light will appear at his location and his stamina will be
completely replenished. If the beam of light appears and you are close to its
location, quickly run to the location and shoot The End with the Mk22 before
the stamina is recharged.
Once his life or stamina gauge is empty, the battle is over and a final
cutscene with The End will be seen. After the final cutscene is complete, you
will automatically be in Sokrovenno North. If The End was defeated using non-
lethal means, pick up the Mosin Nagant [MOSIN N] in the center of the trees
west of your position following the final cutscene. Proceed to the northeast
corner and enter the tunnel.
Note: If you killed The End in Ponizovje Warehouse: Exterior, the areas will
be filled with soldiers.
Tip: If you save during the battle, set the console's clock head by one week,
when reloading the game you will receive a call saying The End is dead.
However, you will not be able to acquire the Mosin Nagant.

5.7.8 Groznyj Grad Underground Tunnel (The Fury boss battle)
******************************************************************************
Proceed down the stairs and when reaching the bottom, pick up the XM16E1
ammunition [XM16E1 BULLET], M37 ammunition [M37 BULLET] and M1911A1 ammunition
[M1911A1 BULLET] in the corner at the south end of the hall. Travel north
through the hall and pick up the bandage [BANDAGE] and ointment [OINTMENT] on
the right side when nearing the exit. When reaching the exit, turn right and
pick up the Mk22 ammunition [Mk22 BULLET] and AK-47 ammunition [AK-47 BULLET]
at the east end of the catwalk near the barrels. Follow the catwalk to the
west and then north. When reaching the north end of the catwalk, change the
camouflage uniform to Olive Drab and face paint to Black. Jump to the lower
level and a cutscene with The Fury will be seen.
After the opening cutscene with The Fury, his life and stamina gauge will be
displayed and he will fly overhead to the south end of the area. The area is
comprised of six aisles. Once reaching the south end, The Fury will begin
slowly walking north up an aisle looking for you. If you are spotted, The
Fury will fire his flamethrower at you. His flamethrower can shoot fire down
the entire length of an aisle and some fire will remain on the aisle's walls
and floor after he stops. He will also use his jetpack to fly around and
shoot fire and will sometimes run down an aisle while shooting. Finally, he
will sometimes begin counting down. When he reaches zero, he will use his
jetpack to fly through the aisle, filling it with fire. He will stop his
countdown if he is shot before he says "Ignition! Fire!". Numerous barrels
are located throughout the area and will explode if hit with fire. There are
also pipes overhead that are filled with water that if shot, will extinguish
the flames. However, only certain pipes have water and the total amount of
water is limited (i.e., second pipe shot will have less water than the first).
If the flames hit you or you stop moving too close to the flames on the floor
or wall, you will catch on fire and may be burned. If you catch on fire,
begin running and rolling to extinguish the flames before being burned. If
you are burned, you will need to treat it with ointment and bandage by
selecting Cure from the Survival Viewer menu. Refer to the Medical Treatment
section for additional information.
Once the opening cutscene is over, run to the north end of the current aisle.
Equip the thermal goggles and look down each aisle to determine The Fury's
location. Once he has been found, shoot him in the CENTER of his helmet with
the mosin nagant. After shooting him, unselect the mosin nagant (since you
cannot move with the weapon selected) and VERY QUICKLY move west or east to
another aisle since The Fury will shoot his flamethrower. Climb onto the
ledge at the north end of the area, move into the north hallway with the red
door and get into the prone position. Equip the Mk22 and remove the
suppressor (if attached). Wait until The Fury appears at the north end of an
aisle or lands on the ledge. Watching for flames shooting out of an aisle and
the glow from his jetpack can help determine which aisle The Fury is in. When
he appears, shoot him three times with the Mk22 (he will be knocked down on
the third shot) and then he will use his jetpack to fly away. He may spot you
if he is walking on the ledge. If you are spotted, quickly shoot him once,
stand up and try to shoot him two more times. If he is not shot three times
before he shoots his flamethrower, he will shoot flames into the hallway that
will hit you. Quickly run south into the farthest west or east aisle,
whichever is further away from him. Once he begins moving, watch for his
location and once the flames in the hallway by the door are out, move back
into the hallway and continue repeating this pattern. Whenever you are moving
in the aisles, make use of the right analog stick to change the camera view to
see around corners and be sure to peek around a corner before moving around
it.
Once his life or stamina gauge is empty, the battle is over and a final
cutscene with The Fury will be seen. After the final cutscene is complete, if
The Fury was defeated using non-lethal means, pick up the fire camouflage
[UNIFORM/FIRE] to your left. When worn, this camouflage will prevent you from
being injured by fire. Proceed down the hall and pick up the disinfectant
[DISINFECTANT] on the right side and the Mk22 ammunition [Mk22 BULLET] on the
left side. When reaching the end of the hallway, pick up the Mk22 suppressor
[SP/Mk22] on the right side of the bridge. Go across the bridge and pick up
the ointment [OINTMENT] and bandage [BANDAGE] on the left and right side of
the catwalk, respectively. Climb up the ladder.

river and The Sorrow will be floating above it to the north. Begin moving
north through the river. The ghost of all soldiers that have been killed and
the ghost of the previous bosses will begin to appear. Walk around the
enemies and avoid being touched because if you are, your life gauge will
decrease. The ghosts cannot be killed with a weapon, but shooting them will
stun them momentarily, allowing you time to get past. In addition, The Sorrow
will occasionally shoot an energy beam. While this causes no damage, it will
knock you over and possible allow a ghost to touch you.
When reaching The Sorrow's skeleton in the river, touch it and the "Snake is
Dead" screen will appear. When this occurs, open the Items menu and use the
revival pill. DO NOT SELECT CONTINUE OR EXIT! After being revived, a final

After entering the area, you will automatically move west to the hangar door
and receive a call from the Major and SIGINT. Once the call is complete,
change the camouflage uniform to Maintenance. Only if the maintenance uniform
is being worn, the soldiers will not notice you. However, if you bump into a
soldier, he will look at you but as long as you do not move until he says to
get back to work, he will ignore you. If another maintenance technician spots
you, he will move closer to look at you. When he does, turn your back towards
him until he walks away. If your face is seen, he will cry out, an alert mode
will occur and the alarm will be sounded. In addition, the normal weapons
cannot be selected while wearing the maintenance uniform.
You need to plant a C3 explosive by each of the four liquid fuel tanks in the
hangar. There is a tank on the ground floor on the right (east) side of the
Shagohod, in the northeast corner of the hangar, in the northwest corner of
the hangar and on the platform on the left (west) side of the Shagohod. If a
soldier or maintenance technician sees you planting an explosive, the mission
is a failure.
After entering the hangar, there is a maintenance technician facing north at
the control panel at the top of the stairs. Travel down the stairs and when
reaching the bottom, pick up the mosin nagant ammunition [MOSIN N BULLETS]
under the stairs by the crates. There is a maintenance technician on the
ground level walking east and west and another technician walking on the
catwalk in front of the Shagohod to the northwest. While staying close to the
east wall, quickly begin traveling north. There is a soldier patrolling south
down the incline and when reaching the bottom, he will turn around and move up
the incline. Continue moving north until reaching the shipping crates at the
top of the incline. When reaching the crates, move northwest to the south end
of the first liquid fuel tank. A maintenance technician will approach the
tank from the north and will walk to the control panel on the south side.
When the technician reaches the top of the incline, quickly equip the C3 and
place it by the fuel tank. Do not plant the C3 before the technician reaches
the top of the incline or you will be spotted by the technician on the catwalk
in front of the Shagohod.
After the C3 charge is placed, quickly unequip it and move to the southeast
corner of the crate to the right of the tank. The approaching technician may
notice you but will not move toward you since he has lost sight of you. When
the technician is walking along the left (west) side of the crate, move north
along the right (east) side of the crate and proceed down the incline.
(NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier patrolling in the area at the bottom
of the incline.) Continue north until reaching the hangar door and then turn
right (east) to the second liquid fuel tank. Equip the C3 and place it by the
control panel on the north side. After planting the C3, you will receive a
call from Eva.
Once the call from Eva is done, travel west until reaching the parked trucks.
Crawl under the front of the truck on the right (east) and pick up the instant
noodles [R.NOODLES]. Crawl under the front of the left (west) truck and pick
up the life medicine [LF MED]. After picking up the items, move to the west
side of the left truck. There is a soldier patrolling north and south in the
area and a maintenance technician on the platform on the west side of the
Shagohod that will walk between and stop at the control panels at the north
and south ends. Move southwest to the north side of the third liquid fuel
tank. Watch the soldier and when he is looking or walking away, equip the C3,
place it by the control panel and unequip it.
After the C3 charge has been planted, move to the west wall, go south through
the narrow passage and continue traveling south until reaching the stairs. Go
up the stairs and when reaching the top, move to the center of the west side
of the final liquid fuel tank. A soldier is walking in the area to the far
south. When the soldier is not facing north or is out of view, plant the
final C3 explosive. Once the final C3 charge has been placed, a cutscene will
occur and a call will be received from the Major. Once the call is completed,
a cutscene with Volgin, Ocelot and The Boss will be seen. When the cutscene
is over, you will be asked if you want to save the game.
(Note: If the hallway is followed to the Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: West Wing
Corridor, a life medicine [LF MED], M1911A1 suppressor [SP/M1911A1] and XM16E1
suppressor [SP/XM16E1] can be found at the west end of the hallway.)
Tip: Be sure the stamina gauge is full before planting the last C3 charge.

After the opening cutscene with Volgin, Ocelot, The Boss and Eva (during which
the platform will be lowered), Volgin's life and stamina gauge will be
displayed. A 5-minute timer will also be displayed, indicating the time until
the C3 charges explode. If the timer reaches 0:00, you will be killed.
Whenever there is an electrical charge around Volgin, he is invulnerable to
bullets (he has an electric shield around him) and you will be injured if he
is touched. He will begin to attack using several different methods:
1. Bolt of electricity - He will throw a bolt of electricity (one during the
first half, multiple during the second half) in your direction. If a gun is
currently equipped, the bolt will be attracted to it, regardless of where you
are at, and if hit, you will lose ammunition. This attack can be avoided by
running perpendicular to the bolt (during the first half only) or getting into
the prone position.
2. Rapid fire - He will raise his left arm overhead and when he lowers it, he
will rapidly fire bullets at you. When he raises his arm, quickly run to the
one side of the platform (preferably the right (east) side) and once he lowers
his arm, run to the opposite side. You should be able to stay ahead of his
shots.
3. Bullet spread - He will raise both arms overhead and when he lowers them,
bullets will be fired in all directions. This attack can be avoided by
getting into the prone position. After he shoots the bullets, he will be
momentarily vulnerable and can be shot.
4. Multiple shots - He will make a quick thrust with an arm, firing several
bullets in one direction. Quickly run to one of his sides to avoid these
shots.
5. Rolling electricity - Volgin will bend down and cause electricity to move
back and forth across the platform. Roll over the electricity to avoid it and
shoot Volgin to stop the attack.
6. Punch/kick - Volgin will punch and kick you if you are too close and some
will cause significant health loss.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not deplete all of the ammunition for a weapon or it will
be unavailable in the upcoming areas where there is infinite ammunition.
Once the opening cutscene is over, change the camouflage uniform to sneaking,
quickly equip stun grenades and begin throwing them at Volgin. You need to
throw them quickly so that once the first one explodes, the next one explodes
before he is able to react and move. Continue throwing stun grenades until
either you have one left or his stamina (or life gauge) reaches 1/2 (when
another cutscene will be seen).
Avoid his various attacks and keep moving until you are able to get behind him
after one of his attacks. Once he has completed his attack, there should not
be an electrical charge around him so quickly do a CQC grab. Once he has been
grabbed, quickly perform a throw to knock him to the platform. Do not hold
him too long or he will break free and will perform a punch/kick
counterattack. Once he has been thrown, quickly shoot him once with the mosin
nagant before he gets up, unequip the gun and then roll into him (which causes
him to lose additional stamina). Quickly move away to avoid a counterattack.
Whenever he needs to recharge his electrical energy, he will move to the
electrical panel in the northwest corner of the platform. When he begins
powering up, quickly shoot him.
Continue repeating this pattern of CQC grabbing, shooting with the mosin
nagant and rolling into him. Once his life or stamina gauge is empty, the
battle is over. If Volgin was defeated using non-lethal means, he will drop
the cold war camouflage [UNIFORM/COLD WAR]. When worn, this camouflage will
prevent guards from shooting you when you are facing them. Quickly pick up
the camouflage during the brief pause before the final cutscene is seen. A
final cutscene of the C3 charges exploding will be seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Mk22 BULLET - Northwest corner of platform
XM16E1 BULLET - North side of platform
SCORPION BULLET - Northeast corner of platform
M1911A1 BULLET - Southwest corner of platform
AK-47 BULLET - Southeast corner of platform
(EXTREME: GRENADE, WP G - Ocelot will periodically throw them onto the
platform)
Kerotan Frog - On the ledge above the southwest corner of the platform and
is visible when standing in the northwest corner (Tip: Shoot
the frog between Volgin's attacks.)

5.10.1 Groznyj Grad
******************************************************************************
This area is automatically entered while riding on the motorcycle with Eva
during the final cutscene in Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: Main Wing. Eva's life
and stamina gauge will be displayed, along with the damage gauge for the
Shagohod. While in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition and
only one shot is necessary to tranquilize an enemy, regardless of where the
shot lands on the body.
As soon as the area is entered, change the camouflage uniform to Cold War and
equip the mosin nagant. A cinematic will be seen of the Shagohod breaking
through a wall and beginning to chase you and Eva on the motorcycle. After
the cinematic, Eva will begin driving. When she says "Snake, up ahead!",
there are two soldiers directly ahead between the crates, soldier(s) between
the crates to the right (NORMAL: one, HARD/EXTREME: two) and a soldier with an
RPG in the tower to the far north. Shoot the soldier in the tower with the
mosin nagant. Throw a stun grenade at the soldiers directly ahead between the
crates and between the crates to the right before the next cinematic. (Note:
The soldiers will not fire at you as long as you are wearing the Cold War
camouflage uniform and are facing them.).
Once Eva begins moving, use the first person view to face the front of the
motorcycle. After passing through a hole in the wall, Eva will say "Up
ahead". When she does, a soldier will move into the path from the crates on
the right and another from the crates on the left. Eva will drive down the
path and turn right after passing the crates. Throw a stun grenade at the
soldier on the right as you approach and then throw a stun grenade and face
the soldier on the left while turning the corner.
Immediately after making the turn, quickly face the front of the motorcycle.
Eva will say "Look up ahead" and three soldiers will move to the front of the
building ahead. Another soldier will move toward you from between the second
and third buildings. Throw a stun grenade at the soldiers standing in front
of the building before reaching them and Eva turns rights. While Eva is
turning right, use the first person view to turn left so that you remain
facing the soldiers. After Eva turns right, face the front of the motorcycle
and throw a stun grenade at the soldier moving between the buildings. While
passing the soldier, use the first person view to turn so that you are facing
the soldier.
After passing through a gate, Eva will stop near the tanks. There is a
walkway bridge to the right with two soldiers on the ground below it and three
soldiers on the walkway. Use the Mk22 or mosin nagant to shoot as many of the
soldiers as possible. When Eva says "Snake, behind you!", she will start
driving and a cinematic of the Shagohod chasing you and Eva will be seen.
After passing under the walkway bridge during the cinematic, a cutscene of the
Shagohod destroying the bridge and Ocelot chasing you will be seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On top of the searchlight in the tower to the north when
Eva stops the first time
******************************************************************************
5.10.2 Groznyj Grad Runway South
******************************************************************************
This area is automatically entered while riding on the motorcycle with Eva in
the cutscene. While in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition
and only one shot is necessary to tranquilize an enemy, regardless of where
the shot lands on the body. The RPG [RPG-7] will be automatically added to
your backpack if you did not acquire it earlier.
After passing the three soldiers at the entrance to the area, face the front
of the motorcycle. (HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier standing by the wall
directly ahead. Throw a stun grenade at the soldier before Eva turns left.)
After Eva turns left, there is a canopy ahead with a soldier standing near the
crates behind it. When reaching the canopy, throw a stun grenade at the
crates. After passing under the canopy, Eva will turn left and proceed down
the aisle in front of the buildings. Two soldiers will move into the aisle
from between the two buildings on the right and another two soldiers will move
into the aisle from the side of the last building on the right. When reaching
the end of the aisle, Eva will turn around, drive back to the canopy and stop.
A fifth soldier, carrying an RPG, will appear on the roof of the last building
on the right. Use the Mk22 or mosin nagant to shoot the soldier on the roof
first and then shoot the remaining soldiers. (Tip: While Eva is driving in
the aisle, you can also throw stun grenades at the enemies.)
After shooting each of the soldiers, equip the stun grenades. Eva will drive
down the aisle, go around the last building on the right and into the next
aisle. There is a soldier on the left near the center of the aisle, another
soldier on the left at the end of the aisle, a third soldier on the right at
the end of the aisle and a fourth soldier on the right behind you. After
driving around the building, throw a stun grenade toward the enemy on the left
and throw a stun grenade at the left and one at the right side of the end of
the aisle. When Eva reaches the end of the aisle, three more soldiers will
appear from the left and she will drive back up the aisle and between the
buildings on the left. Continue to throw stun grenades toward the end of the
aisle until passing between the buildings. After passing between the
buildings, Eva will stop. Several soldiers will proceed toward your location
between the buildings. Use the Mk22 to shoot each of the soldiers.
Once the soldiers have been tranquilized, Eva will drive down the aisle, go
around the last building on the right and into the next aisle. Three soldiers
will appear at the end of the aisle and another soldier with an RPG will
appear on the roof of the last building on the left. While Eva drives down
the aisle, throw stun grenades at the soldiers at the end and toward the
soldier on the roof.
When reaching the end of the aisle, Eva will turn around and drive back to the
start of the aisle. (HARD/EXTREME: Two soldiers will move into the start of
the aisle. Ignore these soldiers and continue throwing stun grenades at the
soldiers at the end of the aisle.) When reaching the start, Eva will drive
down the aisle, turn left and drive under the canopy into the third aisle.
There is a soldier on the second floor of the first tower on the right and a
soldier standing on the ground on the right before the awning of building on
the right. There is also a soldier standing on the right after the building
awning. (HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier standing on the left after the
building awning.) There is a soldier with an RPG on the second floor of the
last tower on the right. (EXTREME: There is also a soldier on the first floor
of the last tower on the right.) Face the front of the motorcycle and
continually throw stun grenades at the soldiers as Eva drives down the aisle.
After passing under the building awning, use the first person view to turn so
that you are facing the soldier in the tower with the RPG as Eva drives
through the gate and turns right.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On seat of forklift on left side of first aisle
******************************************************************************
5.10.3 Groznyj Grad Runway
******************************************************************************
This area is automatically entered while riding on the motorcycle with Eva.
While in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition. After entering
the area, a cutscene with the Shagohod and a helicopter will be seen. Once
the cutscene is over, ten motorcycles will begin pursuing (four immediately
after the cutscene, six later). Shoot the driver of each motorcycle with the
Mk22 to force the motorcycle to crash. (Note: Even though the motorcycle will
crash, the passenger's death will not be counted as a kill.) When reaching
the plane sitting on the runway, another cutscene with the Shagohod will be
seen.
After the cutscene is over, the Shagohod and three motorcycles will begin
pursuing. Ignore the motorcycles since they will be run over by the Shagohod
and equip the RPG-7. Once the motorcycles have been destroyed by the
Shagohod, begin continually shooting the treads of the Shagohod with the RPG-7
to slow its pursuit. (Tip: After firing an RPG-7 shot, use the tactical
reload since it provides a quicker reload than the manual reload.) The
Shagohod will ram your motorcycle if it gets too close. Occasionally the
Shagohod may fire missiles at you. If this happens, VERY QUICKLY throw a
chaff grenade to confuse the missile's guidance system. Continue shooting the
Shagohod tread until another cutscene with the Shagohod is seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - After Eva turns left, on top of the fifth runway marker
on the left (first marker after crossing second taxiway)
Kerotan Frog - After the Shagohod cutscene, on top of the fourth runway
marker on the right
******************************************************************************
5.10.4 Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge (Shagohod battle)
******************************************************************************
While in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition. Following the
Shagohod cutscene, you will be facing the bridge with the SVD automatically
equipped. Eva has planted C3 charges (indicated by a blinking red light) on
the support structures of the bridge. You need to shoot each of the charges
before the Shagohod crosses the bridge or the mission is a failure. There is
a charge on the right side of the support structures in the center of the
bridge. (NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: There is also a charge on the left side of the
support structure in the center of the bridge.) (HARD/EXTREME: There is also
a charge on the left support structure further south behind a metal grate.
This charge cannot be shot until the metal grate is destroyed after the first
two charges are detonated. Once the metal grate is destroyed, a piece of
metal will swing in front of the charge, temporarily blocking it from view.)
(EXTREME: There is also a charge on the piece of swinging metal on the left
side of the bridge after the first two charges are detonated.) Change the
camouflage uniform to Animals. Aim for a charge by placing the targeting
center (^) on the blinking red light and listening to Eva's aiming directions.
When lined up, shoot to explode the C3. Repeat for all but one of the
charges. The last C3 charge must be detonated while the Shagohod is on the
bridge. Aim for the last charge and shoot when Eva says, "It's here". Once
the final charge is set off, a cutscene with the Shagohod will be seen.
After the cutscene with the Shagohod, you will again be on the motorcycle with
Eva. Change the camouflage uniform to Sneaking. Start continually shooting
the treads of the Shagohod with the RPG-7 to force it to stop. When you are
behind it, there is an area near the top that is damaged and may have smoke
coming from it. Continually shoot this area with the RPG-7 until it can no
longer be seen (either from Eva driving around or the Shagohod beginning to
move). Once this happens, begin shooting the treads again. Continue this
pattern of shooting the treads and damaged area until the Shagohod's damage
gauge is empty. When this occurs, a cutscene with Volgin and the Shagohod
will be seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On the left (east) side of the metal arch between the second
and third vertical support beams from the north (must stand
in order to see and shoot the frog)
******************************************************************************
5.10.5 Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge (Volgin boss battle)
******************************************************************************
Once the cutscene with Volgin and the Shagohod is over, Volgin's life and
stamina gauge will be displayed. You will on the ground and Volgin will begin
chasing Eva in the Shagohod. Volgin attacks with the Shagohod using several
different methods:
1. Crushing - When you get too close to the Shagohod, Volgin will say "I'll
grind you into dust!" and attempt to run over you. This attack can be avoid
by avoiding the treads or can be stopped by shooting one of the treads with
the RPG-7.
2. Machine gun - Red shots will be fired from the Shagohod's heavy machine gun
in the front. This attack can be avoided by running to one side or can be
stopped by shooting one of the treads with the RPG-7.
3. Dual mounted guns - When at a certain distance from the Shagohod, Volgin
will fire the guns mounted on the right and left side. This attack can be
avoided by running to one side or can be stopped by shooting one of the treads
with the RPG-7.
4. Missiles - Volgin will fire 2-3 missiles at your location. This attack can
be avoided by running to one side or throwing a chaff grenade to confuse the
missile's guidance system.
While in this area, you do not have infinite ammunition for your weapons!
Wait until the Shagohod is approaching from the left and when it does, shoot
one of its treads with the RPG-7 to stop its movement. VERY QUICKLY shoot
Volgin with the Mk22 or mosin nagant before the Shagohod begins moving. When
the Shagohod begins moving, run TOWARDS it and then under it, slightly to the
left or right of the center (be careful of the treads in case it begins
moving). After passing under the Shagohod, turn around and shoot one of its
treads with the RPG-7 to stop it. Shoot Volgin with the Mk22 and repeat the
same pattern of shooting a tread and then Volgin. If the weapons are quickly
equipped and fired, it is possible to complete the battle without the Shagohod
moving again.
When the Shagohod's damage gauge is empty, the battle is over and a final
cutscene with Volgin and the Shagohod will be seen. The final cutscene will
also include you and Eva getting back onto the motorcycle and beginning to be
chased by soldiers in hovercrafts and on motorcycles.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - At the base of the northeast support of the radio tower in
the southwest corner
******************************************************************************
5.11.1 Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge North
******************************************************************************
This area is automatically entered while riding on the motorcycle with Eva.
While in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition. After entering
the area, change the camouflage uniform to Cold War. Three motorcycles will
begin pursuing. Throw a stun grenade at the motorcycles to force them to
crash. (Note: Even though the motorcycle will crash, the riders' death will
not be counted as a kill.) Additional motorcycles will begin pursuing as you
pass each of the two buildings on the left side along the path. (Tip: Since
the area is dark, equip the thermal goggles if necessary in order to see the
pursuing motorcycles.)
The path being traveled will take you through a tunnel. After exiting the
tunnel, face the front of the motorcycle and a tall tower will be seen. At
the base of this tower is an ambush site with several soldiers and trucks.
When reaching the ambush site, continually turn to face toward the soldiers.
When Eva begins traveling along the path, face the front of the motorcycle.
Shortly afterwards, you will come to a roadblock in the path with a truck and
several soldiers. Continue facing the soldiers as Eva turns right into the
forest.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On the ground between the center and left barricades at the
roadblock
******************************************************************************
5.11.2 Lazorevo South
******************************************************************************
When entering the area, three soldiers on hovercrafts will begin pursuing you.
While in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition. One hovercraft
will be directly behind you, one will be to the right and one will be to the
left. Use the Mk22 to shoot the soldier in the hovercraft. Concentrate on
shooting the soldier in the center hovercraft. Do not worry about the
hovercrafts on the right and left since turning toward one of them to shoot
will cause the soldier in the other hovercraft to begin firing at you. When a
hovercraft crashes, another will begin pursuing so that there are always three
in pursuit.
During the pursuit, Eva will say, "Snake, up ahead! Log!!" When she does,
equip the RPG-7 and use it to shoot the log blocking the path. If the log is
not destroyed, both you and Eva will lose a portion of the life gauge. Once
the log has been destroyed, equip the Mk22 and resume shooting the soldiers in
the hovercrafts. After passing between two cliffs, all of the pursuing
hovercrafts will crash.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On the ground in front of the rock on the right immediately
after passing the second log on the right
******************************************************************************
5.11.3 Lazorevo North
******************************************************************************
When entering the area, numerous motorcycles will begin pursuing you. While
in this area, all weapons will have infinite ammunition. Shoot the driver of
each motorcycle with the Mk22 to force the motorcycle to crash. (Note: Even
though the motorcycle will crash, the passenger's death will not be counted as
a kill.) When Eva says "Here comes a jump. Hold on tight.", a cinematic of
the motorcycle jumping over a ravine will be seen and the pursuing motorcycles
will crash. Once the cinematic is over, a motorcycle crash cutscene will be
seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On the top of the rock to the left of the path just after
entering the area
******************************************************************************
5.11.4 Zaozyorje West
******************************************************************************
This area is automatically entered during the final cutscene from the previous
area. After the cutscene, you will have a deep cut and broken bone and Eva
will have two deep cut injuries that you need to treat and will receive a call
from Para-medic. Select Cure from the Survival Viewer menu, heal the broken
bone with a splint and bandage and the cuts with suture kit, styptic,
disinfectant and bandage. Refer to the Medical Treatment section for
additional information. Once all of yours and Eva's injuries have been
treated, a cutscene with Eva will be seen. Once the cutscene is over, you
will receive a call the Major and Para-medic.
Once the call is completed, pick up the mosin nagant ammunition [MOSIN N
BULLET], SVD ammunition [SVD BULLET], AK-47 ammunition [AK-47 BULLET], grenade
[GRENADE], smoke grenade [SMOKE G], stun grenades [STUN G], Mk22 ammunition
[Mk22 BULLET], XM16E1 ammunition [XM16E1 BULLET], claymore mine [CLAYMORE] and
two rations [RATION] near the tree immediately to the north.
After collecting the items, change the camouflage uniform to Leaf and face
paint to Woodland. Due to Eva's injuries, her stamina will continually drain
quickly. When her stamina is completely gone, she will stop moving and sit
down. Hunt and collect the Reticulated Python (R.SNAKE H) to the southeast of
the starting location.
After collecting the food, begin moving south along the path. After every few
steps, push the triangle button to signal Eva to move to your location. Eva
will not follow if she is unable to see your location. Continue following the
path south and then west. When the path turns south, there is a Tree Frog
(R.FROG B) near the pool of water and a Reticulated Python (R.SNAKE H) in the
grass to the northeast of the water. Wait for Eva to reach your position and
when she does, select Food from the Survival Viewer menu and feed her the
collected items to replenish her stamina. (Note: You must be close to her in
order to be able to feed her.) Be sure Eva's stamina gauge is full before
proceeding down the path. Travel south along the path until a cutscene of
soldiers finding the crashed motorcycle is seen.
After the cutscene, a caution mode will automatically occur and a group of
four soldiers will be moving along the path in the region where it turned
south. Turn north and throw a stun grenade near the tree where the path turns
south to delay the soldiers. After throwing the stun grenade, immediately
begin moving south. Continue traveling south along the path until reaching
the fork. Proceed along the left (west) path and follow it until down
reaching the log across the ravine, collecting the two Russian False Mangos
(R.FRUIT B) along the path. Cross the log and follow the path south and then
east until reaching the area with several fallen tree trunks. Go east across
the area until reaching the ledge and a call from the Major will be received.
Once Eva reaches the ledge, a cutscene of you helping Eva onto the ledge will
be seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - On the ledge on the south side of the ravine to the right
(west) of the log crossing it
******************************************************************************
5.11.5 Zaozyorje East
******************************************************************************
After entering the area, change the camouflage uniform to Tree Bark. Quickly,
but quietly, move east until reaching the path leading north. Do NOT signal
Eva to follow (i.e., leave her at the base on the ledge).
(NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME: Shoot the soldier walking north along the path with the
Mk22.) Move north along the path, approximately half way to the two trees at
the end. There are two soldiers walking east on the north side of the area
and they will continue traveling along the northeast path into the next
section. Quickly shoot the soldier in the front with the Mk22 and then the
soldier in the rear. If the first shot misses, it will stop both of them from
walking, allowing a head shot to be taken on both. Be careful since one or
both soldiers may move toward the path you are on if they hear or see you on
the path.
Once both soldiers are tranquilized, continue north on the path until reaching
the two trees at the end. There are two soldiers patrolling counterclockwise
in the northwest corner of the area. One of the soldiers will be walking on
top of the ledge; the other one will be below it and behind the first
soldier's position. When the soldier below the ledge is walking east, shoot
him with the Mk22. Shoot the soldier on the ledge with the Mk22 or mosin
nagant.
Once all of the soldiers are asleep, move back to Eva's position. Feed her
and signal her to follow. Move north along the ledge on the west side,
collecting the Reticulated Python (R.SNAKE H) in the grass. Continue
following the ledge as it turns east until reaching the fork of the path in
the northeast corner of the area. Proceed along the path on the left that
goes north.
When reaching the grass at the end of the path (at a ledge), change the
camouflage uniform to Leaf. There are several stationary soldiers in the
region. There are two soldiers in clear view, one on a ledge to the east
facing north and the other behind a tree trunk to the north, facing south.
The remaining two soldiers are well camouflaged and can only be seen with the
thermal goggles. There is a soldier is lying prone facing south in the grass
by a tree on the west side of the area, west of the first soldier's location.
There is a soldier is lying prone facing east behind a log in the south
section of the area (unable to be seen from the current location).
(HARD/EXTREME: There is a soldier lying prone facing east just below the
ledge. Shoot the soldier with the Mk22.) Shoot the soldier on the ledge to
the east with the mosin nagant. This will cause the soldier lying prone
nearby to investigate the body. When he moves to investigate, shoot him with
the mosin nagant. Shoot the soldier to the north with the mosin nagant.
Move back to Eva's location (if necessary), feed her and signal her to follow.
Jump down the ledge and follow the cliff north and then east until reaching
the ledge in the northeast corner. When reaching the ledge, a call from the
Major will be received. Once Eva reaches the ledge, a cutscene of you helping
Eva onto the ledge will be seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Various medical supplies - Plants contain various medical supplies
Kerotan Frog - Between the very large tree and the cliff at the path fork
in the northeast corner of the first area
******************************************************************************
5.11.6 Rokovog Berej (The Boss boss battle)
******************************************************************************
After entering the area, a cutscene with Eva will be seen. Once the cutscene
is over, a cutscene with The Boss will be seen. After the cutscene, her life
and stamina gauge will be displayed. You have ten minutes to defeat The Boss
or the mission is a failure. There is no on-screen indicator of the time
remaining, but The Boss will say when there are five minutes, three minutes
and sixty seconds remaining.
Immediately after the opening cutscene, The Boss will rush toward you and try
to CQC grab you. If she does, she will CQC throw you. You must counter her
attack by continually pressing the circle button as soon as she starts to grab
you. If you are able to break free, perform a CQC throw or punch-punch-kick
combination on her to knock her to the ground and then shot her twice in the
head with the Mk22.
After shooting her in the head, change the camouflage uniform to Snow and face
paint to Snow. Quickly begin running clockwise. When The Boss gets up, she
will begin firing her patriot gun at you. Continue running until reaching the
north end of the log in the north section and crouch. Once she stops
shooting, she will start looking for you. She will hide behind a tree, peek
out from one side and then move to the next tree. If she sees you, she will
rush toward you and attempt a CQC grab if you are standing or a cartwheel
stomp if you are lying prone. Equip the mosin nagant or Mk22 (with
suppressor). While staying crouched, aim the weapon and stand on your tiptoes
(by pressing L2+R2 while aiming). Search the area for The Boss' location.
(Tip: Watch for the ? and ! that will occasionally appear over The Boss' head
and if necessary, use the thermal goggles to help locate her.) Once she has
been found, shoot her with the gun. The mosin nagant is better if she is in
the center or the far south end of the area since it can be zoomed to aid in
aiming. The Mk22 is better if she is closer since it is silenced and will not
reveal your position. After shooting her, immediately crouch behind the log
while she fires her patriot. Use the right analog stick to change the camera
view to watch where she runs to after she stops shooting. Continue using this
pattern of locating her position, shooting and crouching until she is
defeated. If she is moving toward you behind the trees on your right (east),
move to the left (west) side of the log since she will see you once she
reaches the last tree. Once she moves south, move back to the north end of
the log.
Once her life or stamina gauge is empty, the battle is over. If The Boss was
defeated using non-lethal means, she will drop the snake camouflage
[UNIFORM/SNAKE]. When worn, this camouflage will provide the best cover for
the current surroundings. Quickly pick up the camouflage during the brief
pause before the final cutscene with The Boss is seen.
Additional weapons/items in area:
Kerotan Frog - At the top of the tree in the center
An initial cutscene will be seen on the WIG with Ocelot. Once the cutscene is
over, you will be facing Ocelot and there will be two Single Action Army guns
[SAA] on the ground in front of you. The gun on the left is loaded and the
gun on the right is empty. Pick up the gun on the right and begin shooting it
until the cutscene with Ocelot is seen. Since you selected the unloaded gun,
Ocelot will tell you to keep the gun during the cutscene. Once the cutscene
with Ocelot is over, the final cutscene with the WIG will be seen. Once the
cutscene is complete, you will be asked if you want to save the game and the
final cutscenes and credits will be displayed. When the credits are over, you
will automatically receive the patriot [PATRIOT], tuxedo camouflage
[UNIFORM/TUXEDO], stealth camouflage [UNIFORM/STEALTH] if you had no alerts
and no kills or shot all of the Kerotan Frogs and the infinity face paint
[FACE/INFINITY] if you completed the game in under five hours, with 25 or less
saves, no continues, no alerts, no kills, 20 or less serious injuries (those
treated using the Cure option on the Survival Viewer menu) and no special
items or life medicines used.
Note: The infinity face paint cannot be obtained on the Very Easy difficulty
setting based on the game statistics.
Additional weapons/items in area:

Special thanks to Jeff Veasey (CJayC) at GameFAQs.com for posting this guide,
to everyone on the MSG3 message board at GameFAQs.com who helped me when I was
stuck, to Hideo Kojima for making a great game and most of all to my daughter
for putting up with me always wanting to play the game (especially while
writing this guide).
