SOLID SNAKE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The legendary hero who has thrice saved the world from the menace of Metal
Gear in the past, Solid Snake is an infiltration expert who always completes
his mission no matter how difficult the odds. Originally a member of FOXHOUND,
now a member of the NGO "Philanthropy", an anti-Metal Gear group.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
RAIDEN
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A member of the special forces unit FOXHOUND, Raiden has no experience in real
life combat situations, but his skills as a soldier have been honed to the
highest levels through VR simulation training. The infiltration of the Big
Shell is his first actual mission.
______________________________________________________________________________
==============================================================================
[4] THE BASICS [0400]
==============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
CQC
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
CQC stands for close-quarters-combat, which proves to be very useful in this
game. Some times, if you don't have any guns, this proves to be vey useful.
If an enemy has spotted you, press O to unleash a 3-hit combo on your
opponent, knocking him to the ground. If you aren't noticed by a guard, sneak
up behind the enemy and press Square when you are right behind him. You will
grab the enemy by the throat. There are several techniques used once you've
grabbed your opponent:
Direct Throw (Left Analog + O) - You will slam the enemy to the ground,
stunning him
Human Shield (Square) - Once the enemy is grabbed, press Square to use the
enemy as a human shield
Neck Snap (Tap Square) - Snake will start to choke the enemy, then proceeds
to snap their neck
You can also hold up enemies, but this really doesn't have anything to do
with CQC. If you sneak up behind a guard and hold down Square (with a weapon
equipped), Snake will pull out the gun and tell the guard to freeze. The enemy
will stop in their tracks. Hold down L1 and slowly walk in front of them. Now
you can use R1 to aim your gun at the enemy. If you aim it down at their
crotch, the guards will usually beg for mercy and drop any items, including
dog tags. After collecting the goods, you can then dispose of them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STEALTH
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Stealth is what this whole game is all about. Instead of normal shooter games
where you wipe the field of enemies, you must be very strategic in this game.
if an enemy is near, use the D-Pad to stalk him instead of the left analog
stick, where you will make more noise. Crawling under boxes and vehicles is
very important for being undetected. Press X to crouch, then use the analog
stick to crawl under platforms or other objects.
In order to lose all hope of being detected, drag unconcious or dead bodies in
unaccessible or hard-to-find places, such as dropping them off of a bridge or
hiding them under an object. If an enemy spots a body of their comrade, they
will be even more cautious than before. When Snake is up against a wall, he
can knock on the wall by pressing O to attract nearby enemies to their
unsuspecting doom. Sadistic, I know. I love it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SAVING
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I must admit, I didn't know how to save until late in the game. If you don't
explore enough with in-game menus and such, then you will have the same
problem as I did. In order to save your game, you must press select and access
your radio. From there, type in the frequency "141.96" to contact Otacon to
save. Later in the game, you will have to use the frequency "140.96" and
contact Rose in order to save your game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ENEMY STATS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Certain icons appear over enemies head to represent their status:
? - Suspicious of something (might have seen something strange). Enemy
proceeds to stare where he possibly saw you, then continues on his patrol
! (Blue) - May have heard a strange sound or seen a dead body. Enemy moves in
to investigate.
! (Red) - Enemy spots Snake. The enemy will enter alert stage and tries to
call for backup.
*** - Unconcious. Either kill or avoid the guard before he wakes up.
ZZZ - Asleep. Either kill or avoid the guard before he wakes up.
Certain alert stages will occur if the enemies become suspicious of you. If
one comes up, a meter will appear under your radar and it will start to
deplete. You have until the meter runs out before the enemy resumes patrolling
and loses all suspicion of anything:
Alert Phase - When a guard spots Snake. Guards will come to reinforce each
other. If you kill or tranquilize the guard who saw you, alert
stage will turn off.
Evasion Phase - Occurs when the alert phase timer expires. Enemies will have
lost sight of Snake, but will resume the process of looking
for him. Another meter will appear once this phase starts.
Caution Phase - This phase is triggered when the evastion phase ends, and
another meter will start. Enemies patrol the area like
normal, but are more alert and cautious.

[5] WALKTHROUGH [0500]
==============================================================================
NOTE: The item placement, enemy patrol routes, and all that junk is based on
the Normal difficulty.
NOTE: I'll be using the terms "north", "south", "east", and "west" in this
walkthrough a lot. I really hope you know what they mean.
==============================================================================
MISSION 1 [0501]
==============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
AFT DECK
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Pentazemin, Ration, Bandages
Weapons: M9, Chaff Grenades
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, here we go. After the opening cinema, a small tutorial will start. You
can skip it by pressing Start, but I recommend that beginners sit through it.
Once the tutorial is over, you're ready to roam around on the deck. There's
good news and bad news about this area. The good news is that the rain will
help drown out your movements, letting you sneak around easier. The bad news
is that Snake can actually catch a cold if staying out in the rain for a long
period of time. If Snake has a cold, he will sneeze at random times, possibly
alerting guards. Cure colds with Medicine.
At the start, walk to the left to find a box under a staircase. Collect it
for some Bandages. There is a guard north of you, as you can tell by his
flashlight. You can also notice him on the radar; the guard is the red blip
and the blue area is his range of view. Remember, this is a stealth game;
don't go runnin' and gunnin' all over the place. Lean up against walls, hide
behind stuff, and tranquilize enemies.
For now, all you have is an M9 tranquilizer gun. Enter first-person view by
holding R1 and tranq the guard when his back is towards you. You can drag his
body around the boat, so unequip your gun (hold down R2 to access your weapons
and L2 to access your items) and hold down Square. Drag him north towards a
white box on the ground. Snake will throw the body over the boat's edge.
Run north to find a Ration behind a small box. Now make your way to the right
side of the deck and ascend the small flight of stairs. Jump over a box to
find some Chaff Grenades. Go back down the stairs and head north to the far
end, where you'll find a Pentazemin behind a metal box. Climb the stairs and
take out the guard, then go north to find anoter set of Bandages.
Climb up to the third floor to find one last guard. Take him out, then return
to the second floor of the left side of the deck. When you approach the metal
door, Otacon will call you. After the conversation, repeatedly tap Triangle
next to the hatch to open it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK A, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: M9 Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proceed south to find two sliding doors. Go through either one to enter a
tiny locker room. Open the lockers to find a Ration and some M9 Ammo. A neat
way to keep hidden is to knock out a guard, then stow him in one of the
lockers. After the guard is taken out, exit the locker room and go down the
northeast hall and through the door.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK A, CREW'S LOUNGE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: M9 Ammo, Stun Grenade
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two guards situated in this fancy area. From the start, go down the
stairs in front of you for some Stun Grenades. Return to the entrance and
look to the left. There is one guard patrolling the hallway, so tranq him
before you're spotted. The second enemy walks around the tables, so crawl
behind the window to reach a magazine rack. Shoot one of the magazine to
distract him, then take him out with any method.
There is a Ration past the magazine rack and some M9 Ammo behind the mini
bar. The mini bar is another good hiding place if you are accidentally
spotted. Go up the staircase once both guards are taken out and head through
the doorway on the right.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK B, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: None
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go south a little ways to find a dark-lit corner. Not only is it a good
hiding spot, but you can also find a Ration here. Tranq the guard south of
here; he walks back and forth through the hallway. Hide him in one of the
lockers and go down the hall. Continue to the western side of the area to
find a secluded staircase. Ascend the stairs to the next set of crew's
quarters.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK C, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: Chaff Grandes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snake will take notice of the security camera in the hallway. On the radar,
it looks just like a normal guard -- it has a range of view and everything.
Hug the northern wall and walk under the camera to avoid being spotted.
Alternatively, you can use a Chaff Grenade to disarm it momentarily. Go past
the camera to reach a flight of stairs. Open the locker behind them for a
Chaff Grenade and head up the steps.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK D, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration, Cardboard Box 1
Weapons: M9 Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as you climb up the stairs, a guard will enter the cafeteria on the
left. Quietly follow him into the room and Snake will notice another camera
on the southwest corner of the room. Ignore it and knock out the guard. Hide
him behind the counter, where you'll also find a Ration. Return to the
entrance of the area and walk to the left. When you come to a fork, go north
to enter a small warehouse. You can find some M9 Ammo and Cardboard Box 1 in
the back.
Exit the warehouse and look towards the southern end of the hallway to spot
some massive contraption. Otacon will phone Snake and tell him to MOVE NO
FURTHER! There is a tripwire linked to a whole bunch of C4 explosives. If you
trip the lasers, you'll go kaboom. In order to find the invisible lasers, you
can do one of two things. One option is to equip your Cigarettes; the smoke
will help detect the lasers. The second option is to shoot the fire
extinguisher on the other end of the death trap. The smoke will render the
lasers visible.
Before you do either one, wait for the guard to walk near the lasers. He will
be in sight, but he won't spot you. Tranquilize him, then do one of two
methods above. That way you won't be spotted as soon as you pass the lasers.
Oh, by the way, simply crawl under the lasers to avoid blowing up. Once past
the C4 trap, head west and up the staircase.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK E, THE BRIDGE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: None
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snake will find a bunch of dead people here. Lovely. After the scene, go
through the door to the left. There is a box containing USP Ammo, but you
can't get it since you don't even have the weapon.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NAVIGATIONAL DECK, PORT WING
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration, Thermal Goggles, Wet Box
Weapons: USP, M9 Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snake will encounter a woman in this cutscene -- an evil woman. He attempts to
capture her, but she has other plans. Boss time already? You know it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Olga Gurlukovich
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olga will run all over the place during this battle, but you should stay in
relatively the same spot: the set of boxes in the center of the arena. First
off, shoot out the spotlight behind Olga. That way it will be harder for her
to find you. Next, check out the giant tarp on top of the boxes near Olga. If
you shoot out the ropes on both sides, the tarp will fly off. Now you can
peer in between the boxes for a clearer shot of Olga.
Olga has three hiding spots. The first is the massive group of boxes in the
center; you can spot her through the boxes if you shot the tarp off. The
second is the pillar on the left side. Olga will sometimes perform a fancy
cartwheel and stop in the open, leaving you a few shots off without any
interferance. Make sure to take cover a LOT, since Olga has incredible aim.
Only peek out when she is reloading (when you don't hear any shots,
basically).
Olga also uses grenades in this battle. When you here her shout out something
along the lines of "take that!", she will toss it at you. The loud rain
sometimes deters from the noise that it makes, so simply run away from your
position to avoid the explosion.
This battle isn't too hard, but you have to make sure not to be too reckless.
If you need any M9 Ammo, there is some in the middle of the arena. I found it
easiest to hide behind the double stack of boxes on the right. Hold down R1
to enter first-person view, then hold down L2 to strafe to the left. Let to
to move back to your normal position. Use this tactic to peek out from behind
the box. Peek, shoot, hide. Peek, shoot, hide. Peek, shoot, hid-- okay, I
think you get the point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle and the cutscene that takes place afterwards, walk past
Olga's unconscious body. If you want, you can shoot her to get a scolding
from Otacon. I would suggest not using the USP you stole from her. Walk
towards the tiny set of stairs and jump down on the other side to find a
Ration tucked away in the corner. Go past the door that leads to the Bridge
and go up the staircase.
Climb up the gigantic mast to find a pair of Thermal Goggles at the very top.
Head back down and descend the stairs. Continue east for a soldier to enter
the area. Tranq him before he climbs up the stairs. Once the coast is clear,
go up the small steps and head to the back end to find a Wet Box. Like the
name implies, this is a cardboard box that's totally soaked. It would not be
wise to use this indoors. Walk through the door that the guard came out of.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK E, THE BRIDGE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: USP Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have a USP, you can grab the ammo nearby. Go down the steps
afterwards to the crew's quarters.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK D, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: None
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walk to the right to find a guard patrolling the hallway behind the C4 lasers.
Knock him out, then crawl under the lasers. Tranq the guard in the cafeteria
and and watch out for the soldier that occasionally comes up from downstairs.
I'd like to remind you that you CAN kill enemies now that you have the USP. I
also suggest that you shouldn't do it too often. First, it makes a loud noise
that can attract other enemies. Second, it's mean. You don't want to kill
everyone in a stealth game, do you? >:(
Once the coast is clear, go down the stairs.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK C, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: None
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A guard is now present in this small area. He will walk to the left as soon
as you go down the stairs. Knock him out before he turns around and hug the
wall to avoid the security camera. You can also destroy it with a well-placed
USP shot. Either way, proceed down the stairs on the west side of the hallway.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK B, CREW'S QUARTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: None
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The room is identical as when you first went through here. Go either north or
south; it doesn't matter. Simply return to the door on the eastern side of
the area to reach the crew's lounge again.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK A, CREW'S LOUNGE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: USP Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lone guard patrols the main hallway. Take him out any way you'd like. Go
down the western flight of stairs to find a rather stinky guard. Immobilize
him and grab the USP Ammo down here. The flies will follow Snake now, but
that isn't a big deal now that there are no enemies. If there were soliders
left, the flies could reveal Snake's location. Return to the east side of the
lounge and descend the stairs. Go through the door to reach the engine room.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ENGINE ROOM, STARBOARD
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: Grenade, USP Ammo, M9 Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proceed north to spot the shadow of a rather old foe. Call Otacon for a funny
conversation. Ignore the apparent danger lurking around the corner and go
north. Haha, it's only an action figure. Oh Snake, you and your paranoia.
Grab the USP Ammo from on top of the box. Don't bother opening up the
lockers, especially the one on the left, unless you're a fan of dead bodies.
Return to the hallway and go through the sliding door to the left. Don't walk
in though, point your gun at the guard looking over the balcony. Tranq him
and stow his body in a locker. Return to the lazy guard's post and head south
down the catwalk. Stop when you get to the stairs and look down. A guard
should be making his way towards the base of the stairs. When he stops, shoot
him in the head with a tranquilizer. Proceed down the stairs and drag his
lifeless body in the alley to the right.
Continue north and walk down the stairs. Tranquilize the next guard, who is
facing the other way. One you have knocked him out, it is safe to shoot them
without attracting any attention. If you wish, kill him and the guard on the
floor above.
Return to the bottom floor and head north down the catwalk. You will not only
find some M9 Ammo back here, but if you look to the left, you'll find a guard
across the chasm. I suggest killing him, because he will most likely wake up
by the time you reach his body. Pop a cap in his head, then return to the
staircase and walk to the left.
There is a Ration on the far end of the walkway, so grab it if you'd like.
Walk south and around the bend. Climb up the stairs and head north. You will
find the dead body of the guard you killed. Shake his body for some items and
collect the USP Ammo nearby. Go back down the catwalk and climb up the stairs
here. You will find a guard on the side of a balcony who seems to be looking
at something through his binoculars. Take him out and walk to the back end of
the walkway.
Cross over to the left and you'll find some more USP Ammo. Follow the path to
another set of stairs. Go up the stairs and shoot the guard patrolling. Walk
to the end to find a door and continue through to leave the engine room.
==============================================================================
MISSION 2 [0502]
==============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ENGINE ROOM, PORT
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: None
Weapons: USP Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A scene will occur when you enter the northern end of the area. A guard will
come out from the southern door and report to his commanding officer. Hide
behind the corner and take him out after the conversation ends. If you take
out the guard as he's talking, then the guys on the other end of the line
will send for backup.
Collect the two sets of USP Ammo here and head north for an urgent call.
There's another C4 laser trap here. We have a problem though. The lasers
cannot be avoided and they MUST be disarmed. In order to disarm the lasers,
you must use your USP and shoot out tiny boxes. They are distinguishable by
blinking green lights.
Alright, time for the first box. Equip your Thermal Goggles to check out the
first set of lasers. Make sure you don't bump into them as you crouch nearby
and get onto your stomach. Position yourself on the left side of the gate and
take off the goggles. Look on the right side of the area and you should spot
a small box with a blinking green light. Carefully aim your USP and shoot out
the box. If you do, the first laser trap will be disarmed.
Get up and climb onto the lefternmost metal box. There's some USP Ammo on the
top if you need it, but that's not what we're up here for. There is another
set of C4 tucked away on a ledge north of your position. Enter first-person
view and hold down L2 and R2: Snake will stand on his tippy toes. Doing this
will give you access to another box, which is located above the C4 charges.
Shoot it out to lower the second gate.
Now for the third box. Get on the ground and crawl past the first two gates;
you can do this now that the lasers aren't in tact. Stay on the right side of
the area and enter first-person mode. There is another C4 box positioned
similar to the first one, except it's on the left side. Try holding down L2
if you need some more room to destroy it.
Once all three boxes are destroyed, the laser trap will be disarmed and Snake
will be free to go. Whoopee! Go through the door past the now-harmless trap.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK-2, PORT
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: USP Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignore the voice over the loudspeaker and move along. You can find a Ration
on the open area to the right. Grab it and continue down the dark hall. Wear
your Thermal Goggles during this area so you can spot enemies from far away.
They wear them too, so make sure to spot them before you're spotted yourself.
I suggest using your M9 to tranq the enemies, since your USP has a built-in
flashlight that can give away your position.
Continue down the hallway, collecting the USP Ammo along the way. I don't
know why, but the ammo box in the corner of the hallway kept regenerating.
I'm not complaining, since, you know, unlimited ammo is cool. Continue east
down the hall and through the hatch.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DECK-2, STARBOARD
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: USP Ammo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nab the USP Ammo at the start and move down the hall. There is another set of
USP Ammo and a Ration in the room to the left. After walking down the hall a
little more, a cutscene will begin. Snake will be ambushed by a group of
guards. Uh oh.
This is a shootout. None of that fancy "breaking necks and tranquilizing
guards" stuff. This is an all-out battle. Hide behind the box in front of you
and peek out of the sides in order to shoot at the guards. They will do the
same, so think of it like the fight with Olga... except with more targets.
Peek out from the top and side of the box to shoot at the soldiers. Watch out
for the guard in the back; he will throw grenades at you. Run away from your
location to avoid the blast. You can also find a Ration, USP Ammo, and M9
Ammo behind you if you ever get low on supplies. The battle will come to a
close when three soldiers run towards you. Jump out from the confines of the
box and blast them to end the battle.

Otacon reminds Snake of his mission: he must take pictures of Metal Gear RAY.
He only has seven minutes to do so. On top of that, you cannot be spotted in
the next three areas. If you are, say hello to the fancy "Game Over" screen.
Climb down the ladder in front of you and do the same with the next one to
reach the floor. As you can see, you are in a room with a crapload of
marines. However, they are all glued to the screen and shouldn't be a
problem. Walk to the left and crawl under the projector. If you walk into it,
your shadow will block the projection and you'll be automatically caught. You
can actually turn off the projector as well. It's funny, but not recommending
considering you will get a game over by doing so.
Walk north across the metal grating. Sneak past the marine and continue
north. You will want to either roll over the metal grating or walk across. If
you run, Snake will make too much noise and attract unwanted attention. Go
through the sliding door to the next hold.

This hold is a bit trickier. As the scene implies, there are two projectors
this time. Only one will be on at a time. One projector aims at the left side
of the hold while the other one is towards the right side. So if the left
projector is on, the marines will be facing to the left. If not, then they
will face to the right. The lights will turn off for a couple seconds before
the next projector turns on, so you will be given some time to get out of the
open.
First, crawl under the two projectors to the eastern end of the hold. Wait
for the projector on the left to turn on. Once the marines have their backs
turned to you, make your move. Roll over the metal gratings and run the rest
of the way to the north end of the room. Go around the boxes and through the
door.

Metal Gear RAY is here, so you will have to take some photos here. You will
have to take four photographs of Metal Gear: a front view, a view from the
right, a view from the left, and a shot of the Marines' logo on the
prototype. When you first enter the room, whip out your camera and take a
shot of Metal Gear RAY to get a shot from the right. You will know if you
have taken a good picture if Snake says something uplifting, like "way to
go!" or "all right!". Yay for self-motivation.
You will have to get on the left side of the room for the other shots. Walk
behind the marines while the instructor is giving his speech. While back
here, snap a photo of Metal Gear RAY to get a frontal view. Make sure to
quickly get to the other side. If the instructor stops his speech, he will
say something along the lines of "alright, take a break". The good news is
that the timer will stop. However, the marines will turn in all different
directions and talk to each other, making you an easy target.
Once on the left side, stand next to the camera man and take another picture
of Metal Gear RAY. Only one more picture left. Sneak past the marine on the
side and go north to reach a dead end. Look up and search on Metal Gear RAY;
you should spot the word "MARINES" in giant white print. Take a picture of
the word to get the final picture.
Return to the crowd and sneak past them again to the right side of the room.
Near the entrance of the area is a computer. Press Triangle to log on and
email the pictures to Otacon. He will approve of the pictures. If he rejects
one of the pictures, simply take a better photo afterwards. After Otacon
accepts all four pictures, the mission will end.
A very long and important cutscene starts, so watch it all for some action,
drama, and all that good stuff. I'll include a small, spoilerific summary of
what happens. Ocelot arrives. Ocelot defects to The Patriots. Ocelot kills
Colonal Gurlokovich and General Dolph, the marines commander that was making
the speech. Ocelot is possessed by Liquid Snake. Ocelot hijacks Metal Gear
RAY. Ocelot destroys the tanker. Ocelot escapes while the tanker floods and
Snake is left on his own. Got all that? I didn't think so.
==============================================================================
MISSION 3 [0503]
==============================================================================
A lot of stuff goes down inbetween the closing cutscene and the start of this
mission. Two years have passed, and Snake is nowhere to be found. You now
take the role of Raiden, the newest member of FOXHOUND. He is on his first
mission. What a newbie.
The creation of the Big Shell is a result of what happened two years ago. The
destroyed tanker leaked massive amounts of oil, and the Big Shell was created
in order to help clean up the mess. However, a terrorist organization decided
to waltz in and kidnap the president, along with many other hostages. It's
your (Raiden) goal to infiltrate the Big Shell, rescue the hostages, and
defeat the terrorist organization. I know it's your first mission, but you
can do it. You damn well better do it! *shakes fist*

Just a reminder if you have not realized the simplest of concepts: YOU ARE
NOT PLAYING AS SOLID SNAKE ANYMORE! You are now playing as Raiden, the young
and inexperienced member of FOXHOUND. Get used to him, since you'll play as
Raiden for the rest of the game. Whine if you like, but Raiden is pretty
cool. I mean, he can do teh flipz!!
From the start, dive into the pool and listen to Colonel Campbell's swimming
controls. Dive down to the bottom of the pool in search of Thermal Goggles.
They are hard to spot, but I'm pretty sure they are found in the southeast
corner of the pool. Don't stay down there too long unless you want to drown.
Exit the pool and open the lockers at the north end of the room for a Ration.
Go back down the stairs and to the right. Stomp all over the pesky bugs and
when you approach the metal gate, lean towards the railing overlooking the
water. Press Triangle to grab the railing. Shimmy past the metal gate and
press Triangle again to jump up. Pick up the Shaver and dive into the water.
Climb back out and walk around the southern perimeter. Once on the east side,
crawl under the machinery to find another Ration. Return to the lockers and
open the hatch. I'm sure Colonel Campell has complained about you wasting too
much time here.
You will see a scene of a soldier apparently waking up. He then walks to the
right. Raiden informs Campbell of the Russion intruder -- must be one of
Gurlokovich's men. Follow him to the next room.
You will approach an elevator room. A scene starts where a bunch of soldiers
get owned by a strange intruder, then Raiden tells Campbell. You will have to
use a nerd, err, node in this room. Walk over to the computer in the northern
corner and press Triangle.
You can input your information here. Have fun making up wacky information
about yourself. My name was ":D" and I am from Mongolia. Also, my birthday is
January 1, 2100 and my blood type is O. Haha. Along with that, you have
uploaded a map of the Big Shell and can alter other in-game options. A small
note about nodes: they are in nearly every room. You mus access a node and
download the map of the room in order for your radar to appear. So if you
want to use radars here in the Big Shell, then find nodes.
The enemy guards will start to wake up after their assault from the unknown
intruder. Run in the alcove behind the barrels. When the guards wake up and
patrol the area, simply wait there until the elevator to come down. When it
arrives, quickly dash behind the soldiers and enter the elevator. Raiden
doesn't have the fancy techniques Snake had, so don't go trying to break any
necks here. Just avoid the soldiers and head to the elevator.

L), and they are all connected by bridges. In the center of each hexagon are
Shells. There are only two (duh): Shell 1 and Shell 2. Right now you are on
Strut A. Mmkay?
Jump up on the boxes next to you for some Bandages. Avoid the bird crap on
the edges of the area. If you run, you will slip and fall on them. If you do,
make sure to phone Colonel Campbell for useless fun. Walk over to the caged
area on the left and get on your stomach. Crawl through the openeing on the

Either way, get across the bridge to Strut F. It's easiest to go down the

Prepare for a cutscene that can be described as nothing short of awesome. You
are introduced to Vamp, the first member of Dead Cell and one of the
terrorists that is behind all of this chaos. He is also one of the most
badass characters in the series. Anyways, you are saved from Vamp by a
seemingly normal soldier that bears a striking resemblance to a certain
character. His name is Pliskin, who also knows a lot about FOXHOUND and the
VR training programs that Raiden went through. Funny that we meet someone
that is more than meets the eye in the TRANSFORMER room. Get it? GET IT??
Anyways, Pliskin gives you his cigarettes and his SOCOM. He also gives Raiden
his frequency: 141.80. After Raiden goes on without Pliskin, grab the SOCOM
Ammo nearby and download the radar from the node. Open the lockers for a
Ration and more SOCOM Ammo. There is also some M9 Ammo on a catwalk. Finally,
go through the sliding door in the north end. Save your game when Rose calls.

Enter the first door in front of you into the men's bathroom. Open the stall
on the left for SOCOM Ammo. Why anyone would leave gun ammunition in a
bathroom stall is beyond me. It's also fun doing stuff while looking at your
reflection in the mirror. Now it's time to be a rebel. We're going into the
woman's bathroom!
Head inside and open the stalls to find Bandages and M9 Ammo. Exit the
restroom and proceed down the hall to trigger another cutscene. Raiden and
Pliskin will meet up with a man named Peter Stillman. He is an old cripple
that used to be a bomb diffusor. He is here to stop Fatman, another member of
the Dead Cell. Fatman was a student of Stillman; he taught Fatman everything
he knew about bombs.
However, Fatman is evil now, and he's using his knowledge for chaos and
corruption. Stillman asks for Pliskin and Raiden's help in diffusing the many
C4 explosives throughout the Big Shell. He gives you the Coolant Spray and
Sensor A. the sensor can be used to find the bombs on your radar. When you
find a bomb, use the Coolant Spray to freeze the bomb. You can't disarm it,
but this is the next best thing. You also receive the Lvl 1 Card, which can
open doors marked "Level 1". Time for a scavenger hunt.
First, let me make a note: always keep the Sensor A equipped. This little
gadget is the only way to find C4 bombs. When you gain control, log onto the
node to the left and download the map. Head back to the woman's bathroom and
walk towards the mirrors. See all that green junk on the radar? That means a
C4 bomb is nearby. Look up in the corner to find the C4 bomb on the wall.
Take out your Coolant Spray and hold down Square to spray the bomb.
Once the bomb is frozen, Raiden will contact Stillman. The old man states that
the bomb's location is not like Fatman's normal routine. Oh well, there's
still a lot more bombs to find. Time to go backtracking! You can disarm the
C4 bombs in any order, but I will list them in the set I'm most comfortable
with. Feel free to go rogue and take care of them any order you wish. I won't

patrol to the right. Hide just around the corner and tranq him before he
calls for backup. This is the only other guard, so take him out and you're
good to go. Well, there is a camera, so shoot that out too.
Grab the SOCOM Ammo under the security camera and go south. Climb over the
stairs and crawl under the pipe to the right. Once on the other side, leap
over the ledge to find Box 1.
Now head to the southeast end of the pump room. Crawl under the first two
pipes to reach a fork. Make your way to the left side to find a Ration.
Return to the fork and spot the brown pipe leading south. Crawl under the
pipe and go south; parallel to the pipe. You will reach a small alcove,
wherer another bomb is positioned.
Deactivate it and Stillman will call you. He says that all the bomb's
locations are placed in amateur locations; something Fatman wouldn't do. Trap
or not, we still have no choice but to deactivate the others. Head to the FA

Lotta stuff here. Yay. Unfortunately, this area is tough considering the fact
that there are a lot of enemies here yet we haven't accessed the node yet.
From the start, tranq the guard in the hallway nearby and stowe his body in
the empty room south of here. You can also find a Ration cleverly hidden
behind the boxes just outside of the room.
Tranquilize the guard patrolling the hallway to the right. Hide his body as
well, then run north. Some guards will probably get sent into the area
because a status report hasn't been sent. Run to the railing in the northeast
corner and drop down to the lower floor. Hide here in the staircase and the
guards will leave after everything looks normal. Now all you need to do is
immobilize the guard patrolling the area downstairs. There are many boxes to
hide behind.
The box in the southwest corner can be easily accessed by standing on top of
it. Grab the SOCOM Ammo on top and drop down. Collect the Stun Grenade near
the middle of the floor and continue down the southern hall. At the end is a
Chaff Grenade. Enter the room on the left to find Box 2. Also open the
lockers for a Ration and Pentazemin, then download the radar from the node.
There is a small air duct in the southern end of the locker room. Crawl
through to reach an alcove holding a SOCOM Supressor and SOCOM Ammo. Equip
the supressor so your shots will be silenced.
Return to the locker room and leave. Next, enter the room on the right. Grab
the Mine Detector and crawl under the shelf for M9 Ammo. Return to the second
floor. In order to get the two Books on the high boxes, you'll have to crawl
onto the railing and drop down. Now it's time to disarm the bomb... finally.
Go up to the second floor and dangle off of the railing to the left. Drop
down onto a high stack of boxes. Look down and you should see the C4 attached
to the wall. Use the Coolant Spray on it, then go up the stairs in the

the stairs where Olga was to reach the heliport.
Box 3 and a Stun Grenade are to the left of the stairs. Watch out for the two
guards up here. The heliport is fairly large, so sneaking up behind them is a
cinch. Go north towards the jet and crawl under. You can tell by all the
green stuff that there is a bomb nearby. Crawl under the right wing of the
jet and you should spot the C4 latched onto the wheel.
Freeze it and Raiden will contact Stillman. He confesses that he can walk
just fine; he lied about having a fake leg. He was so ashamed about what
happened years ago, that he wanted to hide from the past. Stillman decided to
go to Shell 2 in order to disarm another bomb. Blah blah blah, I don't care.

The node is right next to the entrance, so download the contents. This area
is pretty tough even with the radar, since there are several soldiers and no
real hiding places. The guard on the lower floor gives status reports, so
refrain from knocking him out. From the entrance, look up and knock out the
two guards on the top floor.
Wait for the guard on the bottom level to have his back turned, then run down
the catwalk and up the stairs to the top floor. Run to the guard in the
circular part of the room (the center) and drag his body north towards the
staircase you just came up. See that white gate to the right? You can dump
the bodies into the water below there, so do so with this guard. Make sure
not to do it when the guard is right below you.
Do the same with the second guard on this floor, so that the only guard left
is the one on the bottom floor doing the status reports. Collect the Ration
in the middle of the top floor. You can find SOCOM Ammo on the left side of

Now we have to deactivate the bomb. The bomb is cleverly hidden -- it's
clearly on the left side of the room. It is on the bottom floor, but not in

Raiden gets a call from Stillman. He says that Fatman has one-upped him, and
Stillman is trapped with a bomb. He warns Pliskin to get away from Strut H
and reassures Raiden. His influencial words are cut off by a giant explosion.
Well, see you later Stillman. Eh, I guess not actually -- he's DEAD!
There are some goodies in the elevator room. If you have time, grab the
Ration and SOCOM Ammo. You should have plenty of time, but sprint your heart
out if not. Return to the pool where the mission first started and walk to
the southern end of the water. Equip Sensor B and it'll start beeping near
the hanging submarine. Crouch down to find the final C4 underneath the
submarine. Spray it with your Cooling Spray to deactivate the final bomb.
Colonel Cambell says that the explosion moments ago flooded Shell 2, but he
still has to save the president and the hostages. He calls a little later
saying that a hostage has been killed, and that another one would die every
hour. Rescuing the president is a must now.
Return to the elevator room to start a scene. Fortune arrives on the

killed her father. She realizes that Raiden isn't that person, but decides to
fight him anyways. Time to cheer her up... with weapons!

This is a fight that you cannot win. Your only goal is to stay alive. See,

appears. Luckily there is a lot of cover in this area. The boxes to the left
are on fire, so avoid them until it ceases.
Hide behind the boxes as Fortune takes a shot. When the room dims and you
hear a buzzing sound, take cover before you get pummeled. Make sure not to
get hit, since one shot from her rail gun can take out over half of your
health. The crates can withstand a lot of punishment, so you should be fine
hiding behind the same set of boxes for nearly the whole fight. It would help
to run back and forth across the room though.
After the room takes a beating, objects will begin to fall from the ceiling.
They're just another thing to avoid here, so run away from any falling rocks
or other junk. Fortune is usally calm with her shots, but sometimes she'll
lose it and continuously fire for several seconds. Stay on the move to avoid
the chaotic situation. Eventually, the battle will end with Colonel Campbell
calls you. Saved by the bell, right?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatman has contacted the Colonel and lets him know that another bomb has been
planted. This time, he wants to meet up with Raiden. Fatman seems to be on
his own without Dead Cell, so a rogue Fatman is much more dangerous. You have
to make your way to the heliport to meet up with Fatman, but getting past
Fortune is more important.
Vamp will come down the elevator and meet up with Fortune. He tells Fortune
of Fatman's plans. They realize that they have to stop Fatman as well. As the
two Dead Cell members are talking, Raiden fires a shot at Fortune. It
deflects off of her and finds its home in Vamp's forehead. Lovely. Raiden
escapes while Fortune mourns the death of her longtime friend. Well, only for
a couple seconds: Vamp wakes up. What? You thought a bullet to the head could
take out someone that awesome? Nah.

\______________ _______|_______|_______/ the ones in the game so

START scout the area and know
the map well. Fatman will
hide bombs throughout the Heliport, just like he has been doing throughout the
game so far. You will have to battle the big man while disarming the bombs.
Needless to say, knowing this area up and down is very important to winning
the upcoming battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Fatman
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatman will skate around the heliport while placing bombs around. You only
have around one minute to disarm the bombs before the whole place blows up.
Make sure to equip Sensor A to help find the C4 bombs. Fatman usually places
two at a time, so you will have to be quick. It's best to ignore the big guy
entirely while you take care of the bombs.
Run around the heliport and disarm the bombs as Fatman skates around. If you
meet up with him in between the metal boxes, then watch out. A small tip: do
not go head-to-head with Fatman; the big man will always win at a game of
chicken. He'll mow right through you and keep on moving. Most of the bombs are
easy to find. They are usually on the side of the green metal boxes or on the
edge. Fatman will rarely place them on the shelves or crates at the south end
of the area, but plans may change later in the fight.
Sometimes Fatman will follow you around while you chase after the bombs. Just
to make things more annoying for you, he will pull out a machine gun and
start shooting at you. This would be a good time to retaliate. Either shoot
him with your SOCOM or keep the Coolant Spray equipped and knock him down
with CQC. Fatman gets knocked out often, so a couple shots or kicks will
leave him unconscious for several seconds.
Another good way to damage Fatman while searching for the bombs is to plant
Claymores around the helipads; they best work in between the boxes. Fatman
weaves through the metal boxes, so him getting hit will be common if you
place several Claymores around the vicinity. Just make sure not to run into
them yourself. You can also attack Fatman with your SOCOM if you end up
running into him (not literally) while searching for the C4 bombs.
After Fatman loses over half of his health, he will begin placing more bombs
in trickier locations. Sometimes Fatman will place up to four bombs at a
time. You will have to move quick and keep Sensor A equipped. Stay on the
move to take out all of the bombs. He will number the bombs, so you'll know
how many there are. The timer also states how many as well.
Another dumb strategy is to try and kill Fatman as quickly as possible without
focusing totally on the bombs. That isn't recommended; the strategy in the
fight with Fatman is to be patient. Keep yourself safe by disarming the C4
bombs and attack Fatman when you get the chance; not the other way around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In his last breath, Fatman activates his final bomb as he wishes to die as a
legend. The bomb will go off in less than 2 minutes. If you have Sensor A
equipped, you'll realise that the bomb is right near Fatman. Pick up his
corpse and drag it to the side, revealing a bomb under him. Deactivate it to
finally end Fatman's reign of terror. Laugh and get fat? I think not.

Yeah, we know. After talking with Pliskin, Raiden realizes that the hostages
must be in Shell 1. Head south after the conversation to meet up with Mr. X.
Wait, he wears a ninja suit just like Gray Fox did! Hm.
He seems nice, since he gives Raiden a Cell Phone to communicate and be hip

You will start off at the northern end of the room. A guard south of here
will walk to the left and right. Sneak down the hall and take him in front of
the doorway. Go into the room to find some lockers and a couple packs of C4.
Stuff the guard's body into the locker and grab the C4. Do the same with the
guard that walks around the perimeter of the area.
Exit the room and go west. Head to the west wing, where you can find another
door marked "Level 2". Go inside the room, but stop immediately upon
entering. See the C4 tucked in the corner? This room is rigged, and your
Coolant Spray doesn't work. Whip on your Thermal Goggles to spot the lasers.
Crawl under the lasers to the north end of the room, where you can find an M4
and some ammo. Also check the locker for more M4 ammo.
By now, guards have most likely gotten worried about the lack of status
reports and are now heading to your location. It's no sweat now that you can
enter so many tiny rooms. Just hide in a room and wait for them to leave.
They will leave if you managed to hide the bodies well.
Drop down to the second floor (or go down the stairs) and eliminate the lone
soldier. The northern doors are connected by a large room, so go through
either door. You can find an AKS-74u along with its corresponding ammo. Make
sure to also collect the other ammo lying around. Now that you have the AKS-
74u, you can infiltrate the shell core!

There is another sentry in this area, so you can either wait for him to

Immediately upon entering, equip the B.D.U and the AKS-74u to properly
disguise yourself. Walk up the stairs to reach the main section of the first
floor. It's crawling with guards, but you should be alright if you act
normal. And what I mean by that is simple: don't do cartwheels, don't unequip
your outfit or weapon, don't bump into guards, and don't do anything else
wacky or idiotic. Simply walk around the area like a normal human being.
Proceed to the southwest end of the hall to find a doorway; head on in. You
can find a Chaff Grenade and the node. Downloading the map is a must. Open
the lockers for M9 Ammo and M4 Ammo. The northern locker is stuck, so you
will have to use CQC to break the door down. Make sure to do it when no one
is around. If the locker door hits you, Raiden will lose his suit, so
immediately equip it again. Open the lockers at the south end of the room for
a Claymore, Book, and C4.
Exit the room to the left and head down the west wing. The door down here is
locked, but you can find some SOCOM Ammo. Remember not to bump into any
soldiers, since you will lose your suit and immediately become spotted. If
you do, hide in the locker room and either put your disguise back on or hide
in one of the many lockers.
Continue to the northern end of the area and press Triangle next to the
elevator. The security camera will check you. If you have the B.D.U and the
AKS-74u equipped, then you're good to go. Enter the elevator and select the

Remember to keep your disguise on; you're not out of the water yet. Go to the

big stack of Books onto the ground.
Before entering the main computer room, head to the eastern hallway. Open the
lockers on this side to obtain some M9 Ammo. Go north to find a Ration tucked
away in a small alcove.
Now return to the main computer room. Remember to keep your cool, since there
are three soldiers in here. One of them just goes from computer to computer,
looking at pornography. I think he's too distracted to be some sort of
threat. Avoid the guards and enter the small cubicle in the northeast end to
find Box 4 and AKS-74u Ammo. Also access the node to get the map.
Walk in between the pair of guards to find the Directional Microphone in the
northwest corner, lying plain in sight. There is a Bandage under the
computers in the middle, but I would ignore it if I were you. Apparently the
guards think crawling around on the ground is strange, and you will get
caught.
That is all you need here in this floor. Return to the elevator and select

You'll witness a scene of a guard using a retinal scan to access the next
area. Well we obviously cannot do that, so we will have to find a guard
willing enough to help us out. First off, enter the small storage room to the
right and download the map from the node. Search the lockers to find a Ration.
One guard will patrol the hallway and the break room; the other two are on
their break and won't do a damn thing. One just stares at the vending machine
like a buffoon. I suggest killing the active guard and stuffing him in the
locker in the break room. Also collect the Stun Grenade and the SOCOM Ammo
from there as well. We have to use one of the guards to access the retinal
scan, so at least one soldier must be alive. Here's how I did it:
Enter the break room and start punching one of the lockers. The closest guard
will go to investigate. Once he stares at the locker long enough, shoot him
with your M9 or SOCOM. I suggest M9, because if you mess up with the other
guard, then you always have a backup. Either way, stowe him in a locker with
his dead buddy.
Now there should be only one guard left. He is staring at the big FHM poster
on the wall, so he's an easy target. Sneak up behind him and press Square to
get a hold of him. Drag him out of the break room. If he starts to struggle,
press Square to show him who is the boss. Drag him all the way to the retinal
scan, and Raiden will use him to open the door.

The colonel will phone you some tips to find Ames. First off, you have to use
the Directional Microphone to find out which one is Ames; he has a pacemaker.
Second, press Triangle to interact with the hostage if you think it's him.
Only press Triangle if you're sure it's Ames. If it is the wrong hostage, the
lone guard in this room will get suspicious. Quickly switch back to your AKS-
74u if that happens. If you blow it in here, then it's game over.
Run around the room to find a Bandage in the southwest corner and a Ration in
the southeast corner. Now it's time to search for Ames. You will have to use
the Directional Microphone on the hostages, but make sure to do it when the
guard is far away. If he sees you with a giant microphone in front of a
hostage, then he will obviously get suspicious. If this happens, equip your
disguise and he will question you. You should be fine if you act normal.
If you want to skip the hard work and find out where Ames is, then I guess
I'll tell you. That is my job I guess. First off, I will let you know that
the Directional Microphone will emit a beeping noise instead of a normal
heartbeat; that should help you when finding him.
If you want to know where Ames is, then fine: Ames is in the southwest corner.
He should be in a blue suit and lying on the south end of a table covered in
boxes. Double check by using the Directional Microphone. When you find Ames,
press Triangle with the Directional Microphone still equipped to start a long
cutscene.
You'll learn a lot of stuff during this scene. He states that the president
is in the core of Shell 2. To sum things up, the president must stay alive in
order to activate the new Metal Gear. Ames also says that the Big Shell
wasn't built in order to help clean up the oil spill; all of that was
planned. In fact, the Big Shell was built to hide the new Metal Gear.
Raiden spies on a conversation of Ocelot and "Snake". They talk about Fatman's
death and a "man in a sneaking suit". They are sealing the path leading from
Shell 1 to Shell 2. It's a pretty crazy conversation, so a lot of stuff will
be too early to understand. Olga will enter the scene and talk smack, then
Liquid will try possessing Ocelot again. It's all crazy to understand. Is that
man really Solid Snake? Or are there two Solid Snakes?
Raiden starts talking with Ames again. He talks about the bad guys' plans and
the "Sons of Liberty". Raiden takes the Lvl. 3 Card from Ames. After the
conversation, Ocelot will walk into the hostage room. You have ten seconds to
equip your AKS-74u. Simply equip the gun and refrain from moving to start
another scene. Blah, blah, blah, stuff happens. Oh yeah, and Colonel Ames
dies. Raiden gets caught, but Mr. X saves the day!

|________| big yellow pillar thing. Kay? Now aim to the left
START and you should see the next control box on the
ground. Zoom in and fire at the green light.
Now for the sixth and seventh control boxes. Point your rifle towards the
doorway to Shell 2, which is easily distinguished by the large white "SHELL 2"
next to it. Look to the left to find a control box surrounded by explosives.
Fire at the control box, then look to the right of the doorway to find a
similar explosive setup. The control box is in the center of a ring of
explosives. Be careful and fire away. Remember that you can use Pentazemin to
calm yourself.
The next control box is behind the flag to the left of the doorway leading to
Shell 2. Walk to the right side of the balcony and you should see the very
tip of the control box behind the flag when it flaps around. Simply shoot
through the flag to hit the box.
The ninth control box is in another hard-to-find location. Use R1 to enter
first-person view and look to the right. Look under the seventh control box
(the one in the middle of the circular set of explosives) to find a small
flock of birds resting on a ledge. Zoom in onto that area with your sniper
rifle to spot a control box behind the birds. Shoot once to scare the birds
away, then fire to destroy the ninth control box.
The final control box is the trickiest of them all. Look above Shell 2 to
find a Cypher floating around. If you zoom in at the bot, you'll notice a
control box mounted above its head! Wait for the Cypher to stop moving, then
shoot at the control box. That's all ten!
Once all ten are destroyed, you're free to go. Walk across the bridge to get
a call from Pliskin. He found an escape vehicle and introduces Raiden to
Otacon. However, things on Pliskin's end isn't working out so well. Raiden is
introduced to a lot of other things from Colonel Campbell and Rose. Anyways,
another scene begins.
A helicopter closes in on Raiden's location, but it's Pliskin! Yay! However,
Raiden spots a mysterious figure. It's that Snake guy! Pliskin thinks
otherwise. The imposter calls Pliskin "brother" and another interesting
nickname. From now on, we'll call the bad guy Solidus Snake. Ya know, that's
what the game says.
Anyways, a fight ensues and other crap happens. Can you say "Vamp with a
Harrier"? They escape and Pliskin gives Raiden a Stinger. Raiden versus
Harrier. Who do you think will win?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Harrier
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, pick up the Stinger and Stinger Ammo once the battle begins. The
Stinger will automatically home on to your target, so simply aim and let the
missles fly! That's a very good thing, since the Harrier will be hundreds of
feet away. Simply look for the red blip on the map to spot it.
Aim at the airplane and wait for a red diamond to appear. When it does, fire
away and the Stinger should hit its target. As the Harrier makes a successful
lap around the bridge, it will fly over you. Make sure to avoid the Harrier
as it flies overhead. Sometimes, the Harrier will fly out of sight; make sure
to look at the red blip (make sure you're not aiming at Pliskin though!).
You'll see a streak of light, and the Harrier will race towards you. If you
manage to lock on, then fire a Stinger missile at it to knock the Harrier off
its route.
The Harrier's next attack is very obvious. It will fly right above you and
start to drop missiles onto the bridge. In order to avoid getting rained on,
run down the stairs and take cover. Once the missiles stop, the Harrier will
jet away. You can actually manage to get two good hits from this close if you
have good aim of the Harrier.
When Solidus Snake says "Go to hell!", then seek shelter immediately. Either
hide behind one of the orange pillars on the top floor or go downstairs. The
Harrier will fire its machine gun, and staying out in the open is suicide.
Pliskin will help out by attacking the Harrier during this time.
The Harrier can also float beside the bridge and shoot volleys of missiles.
Run below to avoid the attack. When the missiles stop, the Harrier will float
there for several seconds. This is your cue to fire around two missiles at
the plane.
The Harrier's final attack is devastating. The Harrier will fly away and a
small scene will show. It will release three powerful missiles that break
apart. They will fly towards your location. You can actually lock onto all
three with your Stinger. If you manage to destroy all three before they come
in contact with the bridge, then you will be fine.
If not, then run the hell down to the lower level. The bombs will hit the
bridge and even destroy it partially. If you are caught in the hit, then
Raiden will lose over half of his health and will be caught on fire. Repeated
cartwheels will put out the fire, but use two Rations to heal up before the
next attack on the Harrier.
Of course, Pliskin isn't dead weight. He will occasionally tell Raiden that
he'll handle the Harrier and attack for you. Aside from that, Pliskin will
drop Rations and Stinger ammo down onto the bridge. If you accidentally
destroy Pliskin's helicopter, then no more aid for you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the battle ends, the Harrier will crash and fall into the water below.
However, it gets caught by... Metal Gear RAY! Oh crap. Well, at least Solidus
Snake lost his eye. Solidus got served! Vamp retreats by running on water.
Ehh, I won't even bother making any obvious referances. Anyways, Metal Gear
RAY and Solidus escape, but the connecting bridge and totally destroyed.
Oh yeah, and Raiden finally finds out that Pliskin is the real Solid Snake.
Gosh, I would have never guessed. After the long conversation, it's time to
get moving. Lets roll!
Walk towards the nearby fire to get a text message from Mr. X. Raiden is
soooo hip! Answer your Cell Phone and it'll tell you to use Coolant Spray in
order to extinguish fires. Try it out with the fire right there, then run
down the stairs and grab the Ration. Hurry back up before the bridge falls.
Next, walk towards the small ledge. Perform a running cartwheel over the gap
to the ledge. Pick up the PSG1 Ammo and go north. Put out the fire here and
grab the AKS-74u Suppressor.
Next, cartwheel over the yellow pipe to the ledge and continue across. The
brown platforms will fall from under you, so hurry across to reach a dead
end. Drop down onto the railing and carefully drop down onto the catwalk
below. As soon as you drop down, three guards will begin to patrol the bridge
above. Snipe all three, then run down the walkway. Jump over the first gap,
then shimmy across the railing once you reach the second gap. Climb the
ladder to the next area.

The catwalk is monitored by some guards through the windows. You can either
sneak past the two or tranquilize both. Either way, avoid them unless you
want to deal with a squad of Cyphers. Cross past the windows to reach a
narrow ledge. Shimmy across until you reach a large vent, then crouch and
continue across.
Walk under the guard that decides it's a good time to take a leak over a
balcony. Unfortunately, he does it right above you. Avoid the long stream of
pee and walk to another dead end. Drop down onto the walkway below and pick
up the AKS-74u Ammo, then continue across. Walk to the far end for a Ration,
then return to the stairs and slowly ascend to reach an area filled with
Cyphers.
Run north to a dead end and pick up the Chaff Grenade and AKS-74u Ammo. At
the opposite end of the catwalk is some SOCOM Ammo. Destroy the Cyphers with
your M4 to make the area a lot safer, then go across the ruined bridge. Drop
down over the railing and shimmy over the gap, then enter the door.

Head down the stairs and hop onto the box where the SOCOM Ammo was. There is
a ventiliation shaft in front of you, so fire a Nikita missile into it. The
missile travels slowly, so guiding it through the vent should be cake. When
you reach the president's room, aim for the blue circuit panel - NOT the

Once they are destroyed, the electric floor will be no more. Head north of

betrayal. You'll learn a lot of stuff about the Patriots and all other stuff;
it's super complicated.
Anyways, Raiden is given a new task: find Emma Emmerich, the last remaining
programmer for the new Metal Gear (Arsenal Gear). Raiden receives the Lvl. 4

kills the president. Head back down to the basement.

this moment of battling Vamp has finally come, and it's a good one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Vamp
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The arena has a very basic layout; there is a square-shaped walkway with a
large pool of water in the center. The water is basically like a vaccum: once
you fall in, you sink like a rock. Lets put it this way: if you fall into the
water, then you automatically die. Of course, Vamp can swim around in the
stuff like a fish, but then again, he's badass. I guess badass people can do
those type of things.
As soon as the battle starts, fire a few rounds of your M4 to hit Vamp. He
will then glow red and sink into the water. After a few seconds, Vamp will
leap onto the square-shaped ledge above you. He will begin by throwing a
knife at you. Avoid the knife; it looks like a sparkle of light. When you see
Vamp glow red, he will spin across the railing; throwing several knives at
you. Cartwheel out of the way and fire when you get the chance.
Vamp will end up jumping back into the water. When he emerges this time, he
will jump onto the playing field. Vamp is a master at close-hand combat, so
don't try to outbox him. Fire away with your M4 or RGB6. If he gets too
close, he will swipe at you with incredible speed.
When the fight with Vamp winds down, he will begin to stay underwater longer.
This gives you more time to collect the various weapon ammo and Ration around
the room. His attacks deal a lot of damage, so make sure to avoid his knives.
You can shoot them away with your gun, but that is a lot riskier.
Vamp's final attack is interesting. He will throw a knife at your SHADOW, and
you will be pinned to the ground. Once this happens, he will run up and
attack you. Simply shoot the knife off of the shadow to move around again.
Alternatively, shoot out the lights to avoid every casting a shadow.
The battle with Vamp is very tricky. You should be alright if you have a full
stock of Rations and if you move around a lot. Dodge his knives when he is on
the balcony above you and make sure to run away when Vamp is pursuing you.
When Vamp is on the balcony, use your M4 or AKS-74u to attack him. If Vamp is
on the platform along with you, use your RGB6. Stand in one of the four
corners and wait for Vamp to jump out of the water. As he momentarily catches
his breath, hit him with a grenade to damage him and knock him back into the
water. It's a tough fight, but you should be able to win.
Keenan H. - Additional Strategy
"To start, shoot the lights so there's no possibility for his shadow binding
trick, ignore him at first. He will go underwater and then come up and start
throwing the glowing knives, just keep dodging them until he goes back
underwater. Once he's underwater that time he will stay long enough for you
to launch two grenades from the RGB6 down there, the grenades will explode
and drain his O2 meter to nothing.
Then stand at the spot where it's easy to fall in and point your RGB6 at the
other side, he will come up parallel to you giving you a chance to shoot him
with the RGB6, he will then go back underwater again and come back up almost
immediately to start throwing those knives again. Dodge his attacks and when
he goes underwater AFTER throwing his knives, repeat the process all over
again.
When his health is low he won't go underwater, just whip out your M4 and try
to find where he is standing, if he's standing on the upper area just dodge
his attacks some more, but when he is in the same level as you try to shoot
the M4 where he is standing, just hit him a couple of times and you win! I
hardly lost any health in the fight, but it took me an hour to figure out
this way to do it."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vamp will emit a battle cry and sink into his watery grave. It looks like
Vamp is finally gone for good. Still, Arsenal Gear is active, and we don't
have time for chit-chat. Enter the room north of the entrance.

There is a scene learning about Emma and Otacon's past. After the scene, it's
time to drag Emma around. Press Triangle to hold her hand and drag her

Avoid the left side of the arena; it's filled with Claymores. Head to the
southern door for another scene. Remember that annoying bird back in Shell 1?
Well, that pest was Emma's pet. Figures; they share some similarities.
You'll have to bring Emma through the main Filtration Chamber. This time,
it's a lot more difficult with the girl, but just make sure to rest at the
white blips. You should know how to make it out of here. Once you reach the
elevator, you will be stopped by another "hazard": bugs. Emma hates bugs, so
just knock her unconscious and drag her body into the elevator. From there,
head up to the first floor of Shell 2.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things can get tricky here, because we have to avoid enemies with all that
dead weight on your back. First off, leave Emma in the elevator and take out
the guard in the break room. Leave his body there, along with Emma. Head down
the southern hall; the next guard should be patrolling in the west wing.
Tranq him, pick up the Pentazemin, and leave his body in the store room
across the hall. Bring Emma into the store room and down the stairs.
Descending the stairs will trigger a guard's appearance back at the elevator.
Leave Emma in the store room and kill the guard that appeared. There are two
guards patrolling below the stairs, so head back there. Kill them both and
hide their bodies in the corner. If more soldiers come down here, then they
will most likely end up leaving.
Once the coast is clear, drag Emma down the stairs and up to the other side
of the area. Leave her behind the boxes and enter the chamber where the
president was before. You can find a Ration, M9 Ammo, PSG1 Ammo, and AKS-74u
Ammo. If any more soldiers come, Emma should be safe in her position. When
the coast is finally clear, bring Emma out of Shell 2.
I used an alternate strategy. After leaving Emma in the store room, go down
the stairs and kill the two guards patrolling here. The other guards
stationed in the area will go down the stairs and see the bodies. Kill the
guard before he phones for help. More guards will get suspicious, so keep
repeating the process to eliminate all the guards in the area. If you wait
too long and a guard calls for backup, then you will have to do this with
more soldiers.

Once Raiden and Emma are done climbing down a ladder that rivals "The Ladder"
(Metal Gear Solid 3 fans will know what's up), then it's time for some more
sniping. Forget about the sunset; Snake puts it nicely: it's time to play
sniping. Hehehe...
Emma will have to cross the narrow catwalk while Raiden backs her up by
sniping the enemies in her way. It's best to keep your Thermal Goggles to
help spot hazards easier. First off, dispose of the two guards across the
walkway. Once both of them are taken out, focus on the walkway Emma is on.
Claymores. Take out the group of Claymores before Emma hits them. Also take
out the Cypher in the background to the right. Don't worry about ammo; an
unlimited amount of PSG1 Ammo will appear next to you when you're running low.
If any enemy spots Emma, take them out before any Cyphers appear. They are
more dangerous than soldiers, so initiate quick headshots to save time.
Remember to use Pentazemin, but not too much. You only have a max of ten, and
this is a long trip.
Snake will help you out when Emma reaches the second walkway. If you ever in
too deep, call him and he'll help with the sniping. The only thing you need
to worry about on the second walkway are Cyphers. Take them out when they fly
around occasionally. Guards are posted at the second oil tower, so snipe them
before Emma reaches it.
The third walkway is a bit tougher, just for the fact that it's the farthest
away. Make sure to take out the Claymores -- it's a lot easier when using
Pentazemin. Also take out any Cyphers here, since there shouldn't be many
soldiers after the second walkway.
Once Emma makes it far enough, a certain someone takes Emma hostage. I
wouldn't say this is a boss battle, but you must take out Vamp before he
strangeles Emma to death. Pop one last Pentazemin and quickly shoot Vamp in
the head four times to end the "battle".
Vamp will fall into the water again, yet Emma appears to be hit. Snake goes
to get her; apparently Emma was stabbed badly. Now you have to reach Snake
and Emma before Emma dies of blood loss.

However, nothing is ever easy in the game. The virus didn't upload, so we are

Vamp is causing us more problems than I realized! But then we realize more
gross stuff about the Emmerich family.
An announcement blares over the speaker that Arsenal is ready to launch.
Otacon is assigned to take care of the hostages, and the Raiden/Snake team is
going to destroy Arsenal Gear and take out Solidus Snake for good. The ninja
appears, and reveals himself as a... her? Mr. X was really Olga Gurlokovich,
and the ninja totally owns Raiden without Snake doing a thing! Okaaaaaaay,
this is weird. Save the game, even though Raiden cannot respond.
Raiden wakes up in a torture chamber with Ocelot and Solidus. Hit Triangle

Solidus refers to Raiden as his son. Hm? Jack the Ripper? Wow, even more

Due to the fact that Raiden is naked, he cannot do much. He cannot hang from
ledges or perform basic attacks. You cannot flip over enemies or do any of
that fancy stuff from behind. In fact, don't bother even trying to attack
enemies. Raiden gets a call from Colonel Campbell, which is fishy to say the
least. Every once and a while, you'll get weird calls from Campbell. They're
funny to hear, but annoying at times.
There is a guard to the right; when he turns his back, cartwheel to the box
on the right. When he walks back south, speed past him. The second guard is a
little tricky. He will stand in between a row of boxes. When he looks to the
left, then run to the box to the right of him and duck down -- he will look
to the right. When he turns back to the left, run north and you should be
able to avoid him. Run to the box at the right and walk around to the other
side; there is a Ration found here.
The third guard will walk around the perimeter of a large box in the center.
Simply walk around the side opposite of the guard and head to the northwest
side of the box ahead for some Medicine. Use it immediately; you wouldn't
want to sneeze and blow your cover, would you?
South of the Medicine is a stairway, so proceed up the stairs. As you do,
Campbell and Rose will call and tell Raiden to turn the game off. Needless to
say, don't. From now on, they'll start calling Raiden; telling him that he's
been playing too long. What are you guys, my parents? ;>_<
You should now be on the top floor. Head south a little ways and you should
see a guard along the way. Hide behind the box north of the guard's position
and wait for him to head down the catwalk. When he does, sprint south past
the guard and under the camera to reach Box 5. Grab it and equip the box.
This next part sucks, because I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get past
without being detected. Return to the camera and the guard north of the box.
Stand under the camera, then when the guard turns his back, sprint past him
and go north. Once you reach the staircase leading back down, cross the
catwalk to the right side of the room and run down the hall. When you enter
the door to the next area, Alert Mode will stop.

Eventually, Rose will call you. Answer and listen to the long conversation.
It looks like Rose is a spy sent by the Patriots, but she fell in love with
Raiden and things went off track. Still, Rose is a dirty spy! It's like an
episode of Jerry Springer!
Well, Snake finally arrives and gives Raiden his stuff. Along with it comes a

You will have to fight a crapload of Metal Gear RAYs, but only three come out

will wait in the background and fire missiles at you every so often. The
three work together; one will attack after the other, and it keeps going in
an endless, deadly cycle. They will either fire a cluster of missiles at you
or shoot the machine guns on their shoulder. Once one Metal Gear RAY
finishes, the next will start, leaving you little time to attack.
The only weapon you can use is the Stinger. Use the quick-equip method
through this fight: press R2 to unequip it, then R2 again to equip it. Doing
so saves time when getting bombarded by these beastly machines.
The battle changes slightly when one Metal Gear RAY steps onto the platform.
First off, it will usually start by emitting a laser from its mouth. Avoid
the laser and counterattack with a Stinger to the face. Also listen for the
beeping; it will let you know if there are any oncoming missiles from the two
Metal Gear RAYs surrounding the arena.
The Metal Gear RAY on the arena can also shoot a pair of missiles from its
knees, but they are slow and easy to dodge. The only other attack it has is
its massive feet. Don't get too close, or it will step on you. Luckily for
us, Rations and Stinger ammo appear occasionally. Make sure to pick them up
if you run out.
The Metal Gear RAYs have three targets on their body; their two knees and
their head. You can only damage it by hitting their face, but there is a neat
trick: hit a Metal Gear RAY in their knee with a Stinger missile and it'll
open its mouth. Fire a Stinger in its mouth to take out around a quarter of
its health! This can also be done if you fire a Stinger into a Metal Gear
RAYs mouth when it is using its mouth laser attack.
There is a pretty large amount of these guys you have to fight. It is all
about patience and endurance. Don't get too trigger happy, or you'll end up
dying before you know it. Make sure to constantly move and stock up on ammo
and Rations around the battlefield as well. It is a long fight, but I'll
admit, it's pretty fun. Don't fret if it takes you several times. You have to
defeat five or six Metal Gear RAYs to end the battle.
Keenan H. - Additional Strategy:
"I didn't see a mention of Chaff Grenades anywhere. The Chaff Grenades
prevent the tracking of the missiles that the RAY's launch from their backs,
not the ones from the legs though, but without Chaff Grenades I would've
found that fight even harder."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, time for my awesome, super short, spoilerific summaries of a good,
hour long cutscene. Olga appears. She sacrifices her life for Raiden so that
her child can stay alive. The virus effs up all the Metal Gear RAYs, but
Solidus destroys them all. Damn. Fortune appears with a bound Snake. Way to
go champ. Okay, save your game.
Solidus will strangle Raiden again, so repeatedly tap Triangle to avoid
dying. Turns out that Fortune was going to eventually betray Solidus, but he
finds out. He was actually going to give Arsenal to Fortune anyways. He was
using Dead Cell all along. Ocelot appears and finds another way to make
things complicated. Still, Ocelot does the seemingly impossible: he shoots
Fortune.
She never had any special powers; she had an electromagnetic field around
her. One that now Ocelot controls. He cannot be hit by bullets, so he hijacks
a Metal Gear RAY. By stroke of luck, Fortune gets up. She somehow deflects an
onslaught of missiles! Looks like she is Lady Luck, but even luck cannot stop
everything. Fortune dies and Ocelot prepares to attack, but is possessed by
Liquid again. Metal Gear RAY jumps into the ocean and Snake follows.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
FEDERAL HALL
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items: Ration
Weapons: None
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Raiden and Solidus. Well, they appear in front of Federal Hall. He
talks about bogus, boring stuff. Raiden gets a call from "Colonel Campbell"
and "Rose", which makes things even more complicated. Solidus starts talking
again, who reveals that he killed Raiden's parents. Who cares, right? Lets
just fight already!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Solidus Snake
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solidus is armed not only with his metal tentacles, but also two deadly High
Frequency Blades. First off, keep your High Frequency Blade sharp (press
Square until the icon is red); this is the only weapon you can use and this
is the only way to fight.
Solidus Snake must have like, a degree in swordfighting or something; he's
insane with a blade. He is capable of blocking nearly any frontal attack, so
don't even bother walking up and slashing him -- you will most likely get a
kick in the gut for your troubles.
Solidus can also attack with his tentacles. When they glow blue and hover in
front of his body, he will perform one of two attacks: first, the tentacles
will whip towards you. Block with L1 or just dodge them. If you get hit, then
press Triangle rapidly to avoid getting choked.
His second attack is unblockable. Solidus will fire several missiles out of
his tentacles. This attack is deadly, but leaves him open for attack as well.
When he begins firing his missiles, quickly run to the side of him and slash
his back for some easy hits.
Somtimes, Solidus will jump onto the nearby building, then launch himself
towards you. Cartwheel out of the way, then slash his backside. He also has
an annoying mode of transportation, which involves him jetting away and
creating a stream of fire behind him.
The best time to attack Solidus is when he is using tentacle attacks. You can
also attack when Solidus rears his two swords back. As he lunges foward, move
to the side and slash away. You will have to also be careful during this
fight. You do not have any Rations, so there is no way of healing. Equip the
Body Armor to reduce damage received.
After whittling down around half of Solidus Snake's health, he will lose the
tentacles and beef up. Now the battle will become much more dangerous.
Solidus will now jet around the arena up to three times, so avoid his zig-zag
motion. He will follow up with lunge attack, so simply stay away from Solidus
the whole time. Luckily, Rations start to appear in the corner of the arena.
The battle isn't that difficult (the previous boss was harder), but there are
several things to be careful of, like falling off of the building and
avoiding his attacks. It's more difficult when the tentacles disappear, since
it becomes a straight-up sword fight. Make sure to block his attacks and
attack when you see an opening. For example, block Solidus when he kicks you,
then slice and dice your foe. Stay on your toes and attack when the time is
ready, and you will eventually come out the victor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, time for another super-long cutscene. I don't feel like describing
the ending of the game other than the fact that Solidus Snake is killed after
the battle, so you're left on your own to find out what happens. Well hey,
thanks for selecting my guide to help you with your troubles, and I hope that
it did help you enough. Okay, bye.
..
Wait, how the hell did Raiden fight and kill Solidus with handcuffs on?!

[6] BOSSES [0600]
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Olga Gurlukovich
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olga will run all over the place during this battle, but you should stay in
relatively the same spot: the set of boxes in the center of the arena. First
off, shoot out the spotlight behind Olga. That way it will be harder for her
to find you. Next, check out the giant tarp on top of the boxes near Olga. If
you shoot out the ropes on both sides, the tarp will fly off. Now you can
peer in between the boxes for a clearer shot of Olga.
Olga has three hiding spots. The first is the massive group of boxes in the
center; you can spot her through the boxes if you shot the tarp off. The
second is the pillar on the left side. Olga will sometimes perform a fancy
cartwheel and stop in the open, leaving you a few shots off without any
interferance. Make sure to take cover a LOT, since Olga has incredible aim.
Only peek out when she is reloading (when you don't hear any shots,
basically).
Olga also uses grenades in this battle. When you here her shout out something
along the lines of "take that!", she will toss it at you. The loud rain
sometimes deters from the noise that it makes, so simply run away from your
position to avoid the explosion.
This battle isn't too hard, but you have to make sure not to be too reckless.
If you need any M9 Ammo, there is some in the middle of the arena. I found it
easiest to hide behind the double stack of boxes on the right. Hold down R1
to enter first-person view, then hold down L2 to strafe to the left. Let to
to move back to your normal position. Use this tactic to peek out from behind
the box. Peek, shoot, hide. Peek, shoot, hide. Peek, shoot, hid-- okay, I
think you get the point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Fortune
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a fight that you cannot win. Your only goal is to stay alive. See,
with Fortune's crazy powers, you cannot hit her with bullets. You have no
real way of hurting Fortune, so you must avoid her attacks until the elevator
appears. Luckily there is a lot of cover in this area. The boxes to the left
are on fire, so avoid them until it ceases.
Hide behind the boxes as Fortune takes a shot. When the room dims and you
hear a buzzing sound, take cover before you get pummeled. Make sure not to
get hit, since one shot from her rail gun can take out over half of your
health. The crates can withstand a lot of punishment, so you should be fine
hiding behind the same set of boxes for nearly the whole fight. It would help
to run back and forth across the room though.
After the room takes a beating, objects will begin to fall from the ceiling.
They're just another thing to avoid here, so run away from any falling rocks
or other junk. Fortune is usally calm with her shots, but sometimes she'll
lose it and continuously fire for several seconds. Stay on the move to avoid
the chaotic situation. Eventually, the battle will end with Colonel Campbell
calls you. Saved by the bell, right?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Fatman
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatman will skate around the heliport while placing bombs around. You only
have around one minute to disarm the bombs before the whole place blows up.
Make sure to equip Sensor A to help find the C4 bombs. Fatman usually places
two at a time, so you will have to be quick. It's best to ignore the big guy
entirely while you take care of the bombs.
Run around the heliport and disarm the bombs as Fatman skates around. If you
meet up with him in between the metal boxes, then watch out. A small tip: do
not go head-to-head with Fatman; the big man will always win at a game of
chicken. He'll mow right through you and keep on moving. Most of the bombs are
easy to find. They are usually on the side of the green metal boxes or on the
edge. Fatman will rarely place them on the shelves or crates at the south end
of the area, but plans may change later in the fight.
Sometimes Fatman will follow you around while you chase after the bombs. Just
to make things more annoying for you, he will pull out a machine gun and
start shooting at you. This would be a good time to retaliate. Either shoot
him with your SOCOM or keep the Coolant Spray equipped and knock him down
with CQC. Fatman gets knocked out often, so a couple shots or kicks will
leave him unconscious for several seconds.
Another good way to damage Fatman while searching for the bombs is to plant
Claymores around the helipads; they best work in between the boxes. Fatman
weaves through the metal boxes, so him getting hit will be common if you
place several Claymores around the vicinity. Just make sure not to run into
them yourself. You can also attack Fatman with your SOCOM if you end up
running into him (not literally) while searching for the C4 bombs.
After Fatman loses over half of his health, he will begin placing more bombs
in trickier locations. Sometimes Fatman will place up to four bombs at a
time. You will have to move quick and keep Sensor A equipped. Stay on the
move to take out all of the bombs. He will number the bombs, so you'll know
how many there are. The timer also states how many as well.
Another dumb strategy is to try and kill Fatman as quickly as possible without
focusing totally on the bombs. That isn't recommended; the strategy in the
fight with Fatman is to be patient. Keep yourself safe by disarming the C4
bombs and attack Fatman when you get the chance; not the other way around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Harrier
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, pick up the Stinger and Stinger Ammo once the battle begins. The
Stinger will automatically home on to your target, so simply aim and let the
missles fly! That's a very good thing, since the Harrier will be hundreds of
feet away. Simply look for the red blip on the map to spot it.
Aim at the airplane and wait for a red diamond to appear. When it does, fire
away and the Stinger should hit its target. As the Harrier makes a successful
lap around the bridge, it will fly over you. Make sure to avoid the Harrier
as it flies overhead. Sometimes, the Harrier will fly out of sight; make sure
to look at the red blip (make sure you're not aiming at Pliskin though!).
You'll see a streak of light, and the Harrier will race towards you. If you
manage to lock on, then fire a Stinger missile at it to knock the Harrier off
its route.
The Harrier's next attack is very obvious. It will fly right above you and
start to drop missiles onto the bridge. In order to avoid getting rained on,
run down the stairs and take cover. Once the missiles stop, the Harrier will
jet away. You can actually manage to get two good hits from this close if you
have good aim of the Harrier.
When Solidus Snake says "Go to hell!", then seek shelter immediately. Either
hide behind one of the orange pillars on the top floor or go downstairs. The
Harrier will fire its machine gun, and staying out in the open is suicide.
Pliskin will help out by attacking the Harrier during this time.
The Harrier can also float beside the bridge and shoot volleys of missiles.
Run below to avoid the attack. When the missiles stop, the Harrier will float
there for several seconds. This is your cue to fire around two missiles at
the plane.
The Harrier's final attack is devastating. The Harrier will fly away and a
small scene will show. It will release three powerful missiles that break
apart. They will fly towards your location. You can actually lock onto all
three with your Stinger. If you manage to destroy all three before they come
in contact with the bridge, then you will be fine.
If not, then run the hell down to the lower level. The bombs will hit the
bridge and even destroy it partially. If you are caught in the hit, then
Raiden will lose over half of his health and will be caught on fire. Repeated
cartwheels will put out the fire, but use two Rations to heal up before the
next attack on the Harrier.
Of course, Pliskin isn't dead weight. He will occasionally tell Raiden that
he'll handle the Harrier and attack for you. Aside from that, Pliskin will
drop Rations and Stinger ammo down onto the bridge. If you accidentally
destroy Pliskin's helicopter, then no more aid for you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Vamp
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The arena has a very basic layout; there is a square-shaped walkway with a
large pool of water in the center. The water is basically like a vaccum: once
you fall in, you sink like a rock. Lets put it this way: if you fall into the
water, then you automatically die. Of course, Vamp can swim around in the
stuff like a fish, but then again, he's badass. I guess badass people can do
those type of things.
As soon as the battle starts, fire a few rounds of your M4 to hit Vamp. He
will then glow red and sink into the water. After a few seconds, Vamp will
leap onto the square-shaped ledge above you. He will begin by throwing a
knife at you. Avoid the knife; it looks like a sparkle of light. When you see
Vamp glow red, he will spin across the railing; throwing several knives at
you. Cartwheel out of the way and fire when you get the chance.
Vamp will end up jumping back into the water. When he emerges this time, he
will jump onto the playing field. Vamp is a master at close-hand combat, so
don't try to outbox him. Fire away with your M4 or RGB6. If he gets too
close, he will swipe at you with incredible speed.
When the fight with Vamp winds down, he will begin to stay underwater longer.
This gives you more time to collect the various weapon ammo and Ration around
the room. His attacks deal a lot of damage, so make sure to avoid his knives.
You can shoot them away with your gun, but that is a lot riskier.
Vamp's final attack is interesting. He will throw a knife at your SHADOW, and
you will be pinned to the ground. Once this happens, he will run up and
attack you. Simply shoot the knife off of the shadow to move around again.
Alternatively, shoot out the lights to avoid every casting a shadow.
The battle with Vamp is very tricky. You should be alright if you have a full
stock of Rations and if you move around a lot. Dodge his knives when he is on
the balcony above you and make sure to run away when Vamp is pursuing you.
When Vamp is on the balcony, use your M4 or AKS-74u to attack him. If Vamp is
on the platform along with you, use your RGB6. Stand in one of the four
corners and wait for Vamp to jump out of the water. As he momentarily catches
his breath, hit him with a grenade to damage him and knock him back into the
water. It's a tough fight, but you should be able to win.
Keenan H. - Additional Strategy
"To start, shoot the lights so there's no possibility for his shadow binding
trick, ignore him at first. He will go underwater and then come up and start
throwing the glowing knives, just keep dodging them until he goes back
underwater. Once he's underwater that time he will stay long enough for you
to launch two grenades from the RGB6 down there, the grenades will explode
and drain his O2 meter to nothing.
Then stand at the spot where it's easy to fall in and point your RGB6 at the
other side, he will come up parallel to you giving you a chance to shoot him
with the RGB6, he will then go back underwater again and come back up almost
immediately to start throwing those knives again. Dodge his attacks and when
he goes underwater AFTER throwing his knives, repeat the process all over
again.
When his health is low he won't go underwater, just whip out your M4 and try
to find where he is standing, if he's standing on the upper area just dodge
his attacks some more, but when he is in the same level as you try to shoot
the M4 where he is standing, just hit him a couple of times and you win! I
hardly lost any health in the fight, but it took me an hour to figure out
this way to do it."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Metal Gear RAYs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will have to fight a crapload of Metal Gear RAYs, but only three come out
at a time. With that said, only one can stand on the arena, so the other two
will wait in the background and fire missiles at you every so often. The
three work together; one will attack after the other, and it keeps going in
an endless, deadly cycle. They will either fire a cluster of missiles at you
or shoot the machine guns on their shoulder. Once one Metal Gear RAY
finishes, the next will start, leaving you little time to attack.
The only weapon you can use is the Stinger. Use the quick-equip method
through this fight: press R2 to unequip it, then R2 again to equip it. Doing
so saves time when getting bombarded by these beastly machines.
The battle changes slightly when one Metal Gear RAY steps onto the platform.
First off, it will usually start by emitting a laser from its mouth. Avoid
the laser and counterattack with a Stinger to the face. Also listen for the
beeping; it will let you know if there are any oncoming missiles from the two
Metal Gear RAYs surrounding the arena.
The Metal Gear RAY on the arena can also shoot a pair of missiles from its
knees, but they are slow and easy to dodge. The only other attack it has is
its massive feet. Don't get too close, or it will step on you. Luckily for
us, Rations and Stinger ammo appear occasionally. Make sure to pick them up
if you run out.
The Metal Gear RAYs have three targets on their body; their two knees and
their head. You can only damage it by hitting their face, but there is a neat
trick: hit a Metal Gear RAY in their knee with a Stinger missile and it'll
open its mouth. Fire a Stinger in its mouth to take out around a quarter of
its health! This can also be done if you fire a Stinger into a Metal Gear
RAYs mouth when it is using its mouth laser attack.
There is a pretty large amount of these guys you have to fight. It is all
about patience and endurance. Don't get too trigger happy, or you'll end up
dying before you know it. Make sure to constantly move and stock up on ammo
and Rations around the battlefield as well. It is a long fight, but I'll
admit, it's pretty fun. Don't fret if it takes you several times. You have to
defeat five or six Metal Gear RAYs to end the battle.
Keenan H. - Additional Strategy:
"I didn't see a mention of Chaff Grenades anywhere. The Chaff Grenades
prevent the tracking of the missiles that the RAY's launch from their backs,
not the ones from the legs though, but without Chaff Grenades I would've
found that fight even harder."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: Solidus Snake
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solidus is armed not only with his metal tentacles, but also two deadly High
Frequency Blades. First off, keep your High Frequency Blade sharp (press
Square until the icon is red); this is the only weapon you can use and this
is the only way to fight.
Solidus Snake must have like, a degree in swordfighting or something; he's
insane with a blade. He is capable of blocking nearly any frontal attack, so
don't even bother walking up and slashing him -- you will most likely get a

When he begins firing his missiles, quickly run to the side of him and slash
his back for some easy hits.
Somtimes, Solidus will jump onto the nearby building, then launch himself
towards you. Cartwheel out of the way, then slash his backside. He also has

creating a stream of fire behind him.
The best time to attack Solidus is when he is using tentacle attacks. You can
also attack when Solidus rears his two swords back. As he lunges foward, move
to the side and slash away. You will have to also be careful during this
fight. You do not have any Rations, so there is no way of healing. Equip the
Body Armor to reduce damage received.
After whittling down around half of Solidus Snake's health, he will lose the

Solidus will now jet around the arena up to three times, so avoid his zig-zag
motion. He will follow up with lunge attack, so simply stay away from Solidus
the whole time. Luckily, Rations start to appear in the corner of the arena.
The battle isn't that difficult (the previous boss was harder), but there are
several things to be careful of, like falling off of the building and

it becomes a straight-up sword fight. Make sure to block his attacks and
attack when you see an opening. For example, block Solidus when he kicks you,
then slice and dice your foe. Stay on your toes and attack when the time is
ready, and you will eventually come out the victor.

==============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
HIGH FREQUENCY BLADE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Arsenal Gear: Ascending Colon (Mission 7)
A badass weapon that is unfortunately obtained at the very end of the game.
You use this weapon with the Right Analog Stick. Push the Right Analog stick
left and right to slice horizontally and up and down for a vertical slash. If
you move it in a circle, the Raiden will perform a spinning slash. Press R3
to have Raiden lunge forward. The only real downside other than the learning
curve is how long it takes when you equip and unequip it. Other than that,
the High Frequency Blade is awesome.
==============================================================================
SIDEARMS [0702]
==============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
M9
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Aft Deck (Mission 1)
Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 3)
Your basic weapon, the M9 is a tranquilizer gun that you start off with in
the opening scene. This M9 is silenced and can be used to put enemies to
sleep. A headshot is the best way to put a guard to sleep, since hitting them
in the chest or limb won't do much at first. Beginners might toss this weapon
aside later in the game, but stealth masters use this and only this if they
want to prevent killing their targets.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
USP/SOCOM
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Navigational Deck (Mission 1)
Strut B, Transformer Room (Mission 3)
Suppressor: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 4)
After fighting Olga, Snake will take her USP. Both the M9 and USP are light
and small weapons, so they are rather similar. The obvious difference is that
the USP fires bullets which can injure your targets. After the Tanker
chapter, Raiden will receive the SOCOM in place of the USP -- both are nearly
the exact same weapon. The SOCOM have a laser sight which provides better aim
when in first-person view whereas the USP has a flashlight at the tip. You
can find a suppressor for the SOCOM later on.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
AKS-74U
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 5)
Suppressor: Shell 1-2 Connecting Bridge (Mission 6)
The AKS-74u is found at the warehouse later in the game and is used primarily
as a disguise. Other than pretending to be a soldier, this weapon is very
powerful when in use. It has a very high rate of fire and can deplete a clip
in a hurry. This is on par with the M4 in terms of usefulness. This is best
used in Alert Mode when deciding to fend off enemies as opposed to hiding.
You can also obtain a suppressor for this item.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
M4
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 5)
The M4 is found at the same time as the AKS-74u and is similar in style. Both
are machine guns and have a large clip and high rate of fire. In all honesty,
both the M4 and AKS-74u are incredibly similar, so I found myself using one
instead of the other throughout the whole game. Both are very good items, but
the M4 does not have a suppressor while the AKS-74u does.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
PSG1
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 6)
The PSG1 is a sniper rifle found late in the game. This is really only used
in certain situations and pretty useless otherwise. The PSG1 automatically
zooms in through the crosshairs when equipping, and you will have to take
Pentazemin in order to stop trembling. A plus side is that it is an
incredibly powerful gun and fun to use.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
PSG1-T
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 6)
The PSG1-T are for the people who play this game without killing a soul. This
is the same as the PSG1 except that it shoots tranquilizers instead of
bullets. Other than that, the two are exactly alike. You will have to take
Pentazemin in order to get a clear and steady shot of your targets.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
RGB6
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 6)
The RGB6 is a grenade launcher that, needless to say, can fire grenades. The
clip only holds four or five grenades, but these things can destroy groups of
soldiers if aimed properly. The RGB6 is powerful, but not very good in
stealthy situations. Only use it when in Alert Mode and have nowhere to hide.
The RGB6 will end up collecting dust when you get the Stinger, though.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STINGER
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Shell 1-2 Connecting Bridge (Mission 6)
The Stinger is a massive missile launcher designed to take down bigger and
badder foes. Upon equipping, you'll enter first-person mode and you'll be
stuck like that. The neat thing about Stingers is that you can lock onto a
target and after firing, the missile will home onto its location. This is
useful if you, oh I don't know, ever have to fight a Metal Gear RAY or
something. Ya know, just throwing that out there. It's a tad on the slow
side, but very useful.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NIKITA
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber (Mission 6)
A neat, yet useless weapon. The Nikita is another missile launcher, but you
get to control the missiles via remote control. They go very slow, so you can
steer the missile wherever you want. However, the sluggish weapon will alert
guards before they're even hit and will most likely get shot down. It's a
totally useless weapon aside from the one point where you HAVE to use it.
==============================================================================
CONCUSSIVE WEAPONS [0703]
==============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
GRENADE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Engine Room, Starboard (Mission 1)
Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 6)
It's like an RGB6, except you have to pull the pin and throw the damn thing
(aka: don't ever use these weapons). It's hard to aim where you want to toss
it, so stick with the RGB6. You won't have to deal with them, since Grenades
are rather rare.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STUN GRENADE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 4)
Strut E, Parcel Roon (Mission 4)
Strut E Heliport (Mission 4)
DE Connecting Bridge (Mission 5)
Shell 1 Core, B1 (Mission 5)
A crappy weapon that should never be used by the player. The Stun Grenade
will stun enemies after throwing it, but it automatically sends you into
Alert Mode. They are commonly found, which makes this weapon that much more
annoying. Argh.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This can be used in the early stages of the Plant chapter to temporarily
disable Cyphers and other mechanical devices. After throwing, a Chaff Grenade
will mess up radio waves and any other type of mechanical device. They're fun
to use in order to mess up guards' radios and Cyphers.

Another fun weapon, you can collect Claymores by crawling on them when
active. Claymores can be placed and set in areas; just like little mines.
They will explode after someone treads on one, so make sure that person isn't
you! The only time I used Claymores was during the fight with Fatman.

C4
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 5)
Shell 1 Core, 1F (Mission 5)
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2 (Mission 6)
Just like Claymores, C4 can be placed and detonated. However, they can only
be detonated by remote control. I'm not sure if that makes them more or less
useful than Claymores; it's up to you. The only time I used C4 was during the
fight with Fatman.

Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 4)
Shell 1 Core, 1F (Mission 5)
Shell 1 Core, B2 Computer Room (Mission 5)
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2 (Mission 6)
Books are a neat little weapon. The empty Books don't do anything other than
reverting a guard's attention. Throw it away from you, and the guard will go
and inspect the noise. Some Books are "naughty" and contain explicit
pictures. Toss them a guard's way and they will open the book and become
distracted, allowing for you to sneak by unnoticed. Hehehe.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
COOLANT SPRAY
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut C, Dining Hall (Mission 4)
Again, not really a weapon, but a very useful tool. Coolant Sprays can be
used to disarm C4 bombs scattered around the Plant. This can also be used to
extinguish fires temporarily.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DIRECTIONAL MICROPHONE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Shell 1 Core, B2 Computer Room (Mission 5)
It's not really a weapon, but it's in the category for some reason. The
Directional Microphone is used to hear stuff. Wow, I can hardly contain by
excitement. You can phone in on secret conversations, listen to guards from
far away, or pinpoint specific people out of a large group if they happen to
have a pacemaker or something like that. You know, just throwing that out
there. :)

These cards are found throughout the Plant. A card's number can only doors
with its corresponding number. You can get five cards through the game, each
opening specific doors and allowing you to proceed through the game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
B.D.U
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut E Heliport (Mission 5)
This is a guard's uniform, so this with the AKS-74u lets you impersonate a
guard perfectly. This is vital in accessing Shell 1 in the game, but is
totally useless afterwards (your mask was stolen!).
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
BODY ARMOR
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Room No. 2 (Mission 6)
Wear this Body Armor to reduce damage dealt to you by half. Very useful in
tough areas or boss fights, however it's found very late in the game. :(
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
AP SENSOR
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Aft Deck (Mission 1)

You will find a variety of boxes in this game; primarily used for hiding.
Don't get into the habit of walking around under a box, since guards aren't
used to mobile boxes. Boxes can be safe in a pickle, but don't rely on them
too much.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VIRUS DISK
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 1 (Mission 6)

simply deliver it to Otacon and Snake.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SCOPE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut A, Deep Sea Dock (Mission 3)
You can see stuff from a distance using the Scope. Zoom in with Circle and

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Navigational Deck (Mission 1)
Strut A, Deep Sea Dock (Mission 3)
Strut 1 Core, B1 (Mission 5)
Strut L Oil Fence (Mission 6)
Whip these goggles on to detect heat. Bright red objects let off heat, so
lights and humans will be bright red. Helpful in spotting enemies and other
things in a dark room and such.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 1 (Mission 6)
These let you see in the dark. However, they are found so late in the game,
you will probably never have to use them. I didn't.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SENSORS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut C, Dining Hall (Mission 4)
Strut C, Dining Hall (Mission 4)
These two Sensors can help you spot C4 bombs planted around the Plant. When
equipped, green clouds will appear on the radar if a C4 is near. Sensor A
works on normal C4 explosives whereas Sensor B works on odorless ones.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
MINE DETECTOR
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut F, Warehouse (Mission 4)
Strut E, Parcel Room (Mission 4)
The Mine Detector can help you detect... mines. Yep. You'll probably only
have to use it once or twice in the game to spot Claymores.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
CAMERAS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Aft Deck (Mission 1)
Strut E, Parcel Room (Mission 7)
You can take pictures with a Camera. Snake will use it in order to snap

CIGARETTE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Aft Deck (Mission 1)
Strut B, Transformer Room (Mission 3)
Cigarettes will deplete your health, but help you spot hidden laser traps.
They can also help you stop shaking when sniping if you happen to be out of
Pentazemin. Otherwise, don't use Cigarettes unless you want to die.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SHAVER
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Location: Strut A, Deep Sea Dock (Mission 3)
A trivial item, if you manage to find it and give it to Pliskin, he will be
clean-cut the next time you meet him.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Found if you collect enough Dog Tags, the Bandana will supply you with
unlimited ammo when worn. Only used in the Tank Chapter
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STEALTH SUIT
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Found if you collect enough Dog Tags, the Stealth suit will render you
invisible. Yeah, INVISIBLE. Wear it and mess with guards for a fun experience.

BROWN WIG
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Found if you collect enough Dog Tags, the Brown Wig will supply you with
unlimited ammo when worn. Only used in the Plant Chapter.

unlimited amount of oxygen. Now you can imitate Aquaman and swim as long as
you want! Only used in the Plant Chapter.

[9] DOG TAGS [0900]
==============================================================================
Dog Tags are a neat little item dropped by guards and other enemies. You will
have to get guards to surrender them to you. In order to do this, hold them
up. After holding up a guard, walk in front of them and aim at the guard.
They will become scared and drop the Dog Tag along with any other items.
Some guards are a little persistant, so simply aiming your weapon at their
crotch should get the job done. Others are even less willing to drop their
Dog Tags, so shoot one of their limbs (don't hurt them that much) to finally
make them surrender their stuff. Dog Tags are important because you can nab
some sweet items if you collect enough.

[10] SECRETS [1000]
==============================================================================
There are a crapload of easter eggs and secrets in this game that I don't have
nearly enough time to find them all. However, I found a nice list on Konami's
official site for the game. Check it out:
http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs2/english/mr/secret_en.html
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SNAKE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SNAKE SNEEZES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shoot the fire extinguisher or flour bag with a USP, etc. and get sprayed/
powdered for a certain period of time.
Or (1) stand on the deck in the EXTREME game level and go in, or (2) stand on
the deck in the VERY HARD game level for more than a minute and then go
inside.
Conditions to start sneezing:
- standing still
- flattened against a wall
- crouching
- crawling position but not moving
- flattened against a tank
If you stay still for 3 minutes, you will stop sneezing.
SNAKE GETS EXCITED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stand in front of the sexy poster in the locker room in Deck A and call Otacon
on the Codec. You can see Snake excited.
RAVEN'S SHADOW
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you call Otacon on the Codec after you see Raven's shadow in the Tanker
engine room starboard, you'll hear them being surprised about Raven being
alive.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OTACON
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
MEI LING APPEARS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Otacon recites proverbs when you save the game on the Tanker. If you keep on
saving, Mei Ling makes an appearance on the 13th time.
OTACON IS KIND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have one more photo to take in the Metal Gear Ray photo shoot event in
the tanker when you only have 30 seconds left, Otacon says what he already
has (i.e. 3 photos) will do.
OTACON CHECKS PHOTOS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take photos of the following and show them to Otacon, and you will get
special responses. If you take photos of these many times, you will get
different responses.
- Locker posters (both left and right) in tanker 1F locker room
- Olga (she will talk if during battle)
- Olga's face and crotch
- Engine room starboard macho poster, portside boy and girl posters, south
wall girl poster, Raven figure
- Hold 1: underwear soldier (if taken from under the floor)
- ghost photo (starboard screen photo taken from the projector position
(happens at a 1/3 possibility)
- Metal Gear Ray - front, front left, front right, MARINES lettering;
Commandant Scott Dolph, Ocelot.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OLGA
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OLGA GETS ANGRY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take a photo of her during battle and she gets angry.
OLGA MAKES FUN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you enter Hanging Mode during battle, she makes fun of you.
REACTIONS FOR DOING THINGS TO OLGA WHILE ASLEEP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you call Otacon on the Codec right after battle, he says that she is cute.
If you attack her while she is asleep, Otacon reprimands you.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
MARINES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
HUMAN BOWLING PINS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you attack the Marines that are lined up, they crash into each other and
fall down like bowling pins. Getting a "strike" does not give you anything.
UNDERWEAR MARINES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you are playing the Tanker Chapter for an even number of times (2nd
time, 4th time, etc.), the Marines in Hold 3 are in their underwear.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ENEMY SOLDIERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ENEMY SOLDIER REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spray the Coolant Spray at a sleeping enemy and the enemy will wake up
quickly.
The enemy's clearing patterns will change if you remain unspotted in
clearings in the deep sea dock, Strut F warehouse, Shell 2 Core 1F.
If you approach an enemy soldier with a shield and get shot, your blood will
splash onto the shield.
If you shoot attacking enemies, they will inject painkillers in themselves.
On the first floor of the tanker, if the soldiers come into the locker room
to do a clearing, they will look at the poster if the locker door with the
poster is open.
Shoot the exclamation point on top of the enemy's head and he loses track of
what he was doing.
Place a book on the floor and the enemy will sit down and start reading it.
DEALING WITH THE STUBBORN SOLDIER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stubborn enemy soldier will not give you items when holding him up unless
you shoot at him (not with the tranquilizer; the bullet does not have to hit
him) or point a more powerful weapon such as the Nikita missile, Stinger, and
RGB.
URINATING SOLDIER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a urinating soldier at a certain point of the Strut L perimeter. The
urination continues for about one minute. If you call the Colonel on the
Codec while being urinated onto, he will try to make you feel better.
DOG TAG STUFF
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thermal goggles will enable you to see whether or not a soldier has a dog tag.
If you keep on pressing the Action button (triangle) when equipping the
camera or binoculars, you will see the name of the soldier on top of his head
from whom you have acquired the dog tag. If the date of birth shown on that
soldier's dog tag coincides with the date of the PS2 console clock, you will
see "Happy Birthday!!" right above the name on top of his head.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
RAIDEN
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
RAIDEN CATCHES A COLD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raiden catches a cold 2 minutes after the torture event. Take the medicine or
get your gear back from Snake to recover.
Conditions to catch a cold:
- standing still
- flattened against a wall
- crouching
SPECIAL EVENTS FOR NAKED RAIDEN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the enemy performs a clearing in the torture room, flatten yourself
against the torture bed. You can fool the enemy that way.
The enemy will look at Raiden and say a few words of envy.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
PLISKIN
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ATTACKING PLISKIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pliskin will attack you if you attack him first in the following locations.
- Strut B, Transformer Room
- Strut L Oil Fence
- Arsenal Gear: Ascending Colon
- Arsenal Gear: Sigmoid Colon
PLISKIN TALKS IN HIS SLEEP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Strut B transformer room, call Pliskin on the Codec a few times while
he is sleeping. He will say "Liquid!".
PLISKIN SHAVES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have picked up the Shaver in the deep sea dock, you will end up giving
Pliskin the Shaver. Then when you meet him as Snake in Arsenal Gear, he does
not have his beard.
CARDBOARD BOX EVENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can spot a guy wearing a cardboard box on the CD Connecting Bridge. You
must go to the CD Connecting Bridge within 1 minute after the Peter demo.
(After 1 minute, or if you go to another location, the cardboard will no
longer appear.
If you attack the cardboard box man, he will run away while leaving cardboard
box debris. Even if his cardboard box is totally destroyed, he will wear
another one.
If you wear a cardboard box and keep on calling Pliskin on the Codec, he will
start talking about his passion for cardboard boxes.
And if you totally destroy the cardboard box of the guy on the CD Connecting
Bridge, you can hear Pliskin's grievance.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
EMMA
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
EMMA'S REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2: There is a window at the first
breathing point. After the Vamp battle, if you go there before going to the
locker room, you will be able to see Emma sitting on the stairs.
After rescuing Emma, you can call her on the Codec when accompanying her on
frequency 141.52.
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2: Shoot Emma with the M9 and call
her on the Codec. She talks in her sleep. "Venus in Cancer..."
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2: Attack her (but do not kill her)
and call Otacon on the Codec. Otacon will be angry with you.
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2: If you kill Emma yourself, the
Colonel, Rose, and Otacon will all criticize you upon GAME OVER.
Shell 2 Core, B1 Filtration Chamber No. 2: Set a C4 near Emma's back, and you
can actually set a C4 on her back.
EMMA EVENTS (STRUT L OIL FENCE SNIPING EVENT)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can listen to Emma talking to herself with the directional microphone
when she is behind the two large pillars during the pontoon bridge sniping
event. Behind the first pillar she talks about Raiden's looks.
Behind the second pillar she encounters Johnny.
Point the microphone at Snake and you hear him talking to himself about
asking Emma out for a meal.
Point the microphone at Emma while she crosses the bridge. You can hear her
complaining.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STILLMAN
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STILLMAN'S REACTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Peter Stillman is inside the pantry, knock on the door or press the
Action button in front of the door. Peter will respond. If you do this 8
times or more, Peter becomes angry.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
PRESIDENT
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
THE PRESIDENT'S REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you flatten yourself against the wall of the room with the President, you
will see a demo.
The President is asleep when you meet him in the HARD and EXTREME modes.
Knock on the wall of the room with the President or make a bullet hit the
wall. The President will flatten himself against the wall.
When the President is asleep, he will not be woken up by an explosion unless
it happens right on the wall or inside the room.
Point the Directional Microphone at the President and you can hear him
talking to himself.
The President will dodge Nikita missiles in EASY mode by rolling, sliding,
and doing sommersaults. In EXTREME mode, he'll run into the missile.

FATMAN
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
FATMAN'S REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It only takes one shot at Fatman's inline skates to make him fall. The skates
cannot be destroyed.
When Fatman is playing with a seagull, if it lands on Fatman's collar, the
seagull pecks on Fatman's head.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VAMP
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DURING THE ENDING
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the ending polygon demo (when Rose appears), you will find Vamp in the
crowd in the background.
SHADOW BINDING COUNTERMEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you destroy the surrounding lights, Vamp will not be able to perform his
shadow binding. You can undo Vamp's shadow binding not only by hitting the
lights but also by shooting the knife that is binding the shadow.
VAMP HAS HIS WEAKNESSES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you attack Vamp on his forehead and chest scars, you can give him more
damage than usual.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
HARRIER
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
MISSILE ATTACK COUNTERMEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Harrier has a missile pod that you can lock onto with your Stinger
missiles only when it is close to you. Shoot that pod with the Stinger and
destroy it. Then the Harrier will only launch a few missiles from then on.

CREATURES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SEA LICE REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spray the Coolant Spray on them and they will go away.
Attack them in First Person View with explosive weapons and the dead sea lice
come flying at you.
If you crawl for 2 seconds or more where there are sea lice, a sea louce will
enter your item menu. The sea louce in the item menu will eat 1 ration every
20 minutes. After eating 3 rations, the satisfied sea louce will disappear.
Move the item icons rapidly to get rid of the sea louce.
Equip Rations with the sea louce attached and get attacked by the enemy. The
Ration will be unequipped automatically.
Use all Rations while the sea louce is attached and you will be able to read
a description of sea lice.
If you complete the game with the sea louce attached and then register your
CLEAR CODE at our MISSION RECORDS website, you will be given the rank of SEA
LOUCE.
SEAGULL REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spray the Coolant Spray onto a seagull and it will fly away immediately.
If a falling seagull (falling when attacked/tranquilized) lands on an enemy,
the enemy will incur damage and faint.
If you keep on attacking seagulls, the Colonel and Rose will reprimand you.
If you attack the seagulls 20 times, seagulls flying nearby the player will
attack the player.
If you look at a seagull in First Person View when it is flying over you,
droppings will land on the camera.
You will slip and fall if you run on piles of seagull droppings on the Strut
A roof. If you slip on the pipe at the Shell 1-2 Connecting Bridge, you will
fall off and die.
If you wear Cardboard Box 5 (the Zone of the Enders box - the one with the
eye symbol), seagulls will not attack you. Birds in general are afraid of big
eyes, as seen on rice fields where "big eyes" are used to scare away birds.
PARROT REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attack the parrot and bullets will not hit it. Grenades will not explode.
The parrot will then mimic the enemy and bring about the Alert mode (when
enemies are around).
If enemy soldiers talk about girlie magazines (Book), the parrot will then
memorize that talk and then give you hints on where books are hidden.
If you point the microphone at the parrot and keep on asking "You must be
Ames." for 10 times, the parrot will start saying "You must be Ames."
BUGS' REACTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use the Coolant Spray to kill bugs near light bulbs.
There are bugs flocking around an enemy on B1, portside. If that enemy drops
a ration when you shake him when he is unconscious, the bugs flock to the
ration. If Snake picks up that ration, the bugs flock to Snake. Even if Snake
moves onto another area, one bug will keep on chasing Snake.

MISCELLANEOUS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DEMOS AND CODEC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the Codec, press R1 or R2 to "voice your opinion." The R1 is for
positive responses and R2 for negative responses. How strong you press the
button determines how positive or negative a response you will give.
You can move the camera with the Analog Sticks during the Codec. Moving them
up, down, left, and right will move the characters accordingly, and pushing
them in will allow you to zoom in.
During polygon demos, you can zoom in with the R1 button and move the camera
with the right analog stick.
The first website photo of the tanker flashback demo in the Shell 2 Core 1F
will feature the photo you actually took in the hold. (If you play the game
from the Plant Chapter, a predetermined photo will be used.)
If you toss an enemy body over the deck or knock him off the railing on the
tanker, the second website photo of the tanker flashback demo in the Shell 2
Core 1F will feature this scene.
STAGE STUFF
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a steel pipe in the farthest of the 3 rooms in Deck 2 port. Flatten
yourself against the wall and wait for the enemy to come. Then the pipe falls
and the enemy will spot you.
If you destroy the light in the small room on the 1st floor of Strut F, the
enemy's vision will be limited.
After completing the game and playing it again, from the 2nd time on, Ames'
position in the hostage room becomes random.
The location and number of scented and unscented bombs in each strut changes
in VERY HARD and EXTREME difficulty levels.
In EASY mode, you can use the radar in all areas if you access the node once.
Shell 2 Core electrified floor
------------------------------
If you step on the electrified floor while equipping a cardboard box, the box
will burn up and disappear. You will see a MOAI statue inside the duct for an
instant.
Place a BOOK on the electrified floor and it will burn.
Toss a Grenade (regular, Chaff, Stun) onto the electrified floor and you will
see electric currents while it is moving. It will explode when it stops.
Toss a Magazine (gun clip) onto the electrified floor and you will see
electric currents while it is moving. Shoot the Magazine to move it and you
will see electric currents again.
Spot with flames
----------------
Equip the cardboard box and come in contact with the flames. The box will
burn up and disappear.
Place a Book where there are flames. The Book will burn up and disappear.
When your clothes are on fire, equip the enemy soldier uniform or Cardboard
Box and you can put out the fire.
Anywhere you see flames, use the Coolant Spray and you can extinguish the
fire.
Shell 1/Shell 2 infrared control units
--------------------------------------
Press the L1 button on Controller 2 (a controller inserted in the controller
slot 2) to move the "Sons of Liberty" flag. If you hit the L1 button
repeatedly, the flag will be blown in the wind in the other direction.
If you enter, exit, and re-enter the Shell 1-2 Connecting Bridge area 8
times, you will see a "flashback" of where the hidden control units are
hidden.
The number of control units changes depending on the difficulty level.
From the 2nd time on, the hostages other than Ames -- shown in the demo
during the dialogue with the Ninja when the hostage room is shown for the
first time -- change depending on the time of the PS2 clock.
12 AM (midnight) - all young women
10 PM - all middle-aged women
1 PM - all middle-aged men
HIDDEN CHARACTERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can take a picture of Ocelot in Hold 3. This is possible when you come
under the floor from Hold 2. If you look in First Person View toward Ray's
front leg from the vertical pole mezzanine and you will see Ocelot. If you
move your viewpoint and then come back again, he is gone.
If you point the Directional Microphone toward the toilet (on the left of
where Solidus and Ocelot are) in the Shell 1 Core Hall during the hostage
event, you will hear Johnny Sasaki ragging. If you equip Sensor A, you will
get a
different response from when it detects a bomb.

noise. However, if you hit it slowly, you will not make this noise.
There are books on top of the locker on the left side of the Shell 1 Core, B2
Computer Room. Punch/kick the locker and 5 Books come falling down.
STRUT C RESTROOM EVENTS AND MORE

If you approach and then leave the urinal in the men's room, you will hear a
flush.
If you call Rose on the Codec from the ladies' room in Strut C, she will look
down on you and not allow you to save for a while.
In the Hostage Room, crawl under the table in front of the young female
hostage. If you call Rose on the Codec while staring at the lady, she will
look down on you and not allow you to save for a while.
NAME ENTRY AT THE NODE

If the birthday entered at the node happens to be the date of the PS2 clock,
you will see "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" in the bottom right.
PROJECTOR FUN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hold 2 to switch projection directions. Change it 7 times and you see a
special movie and the game ends. You can see this movie once only. If you
continue and change the projection direction 7 times again, a Marine will
come looking for you.
HANGING MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you climb back up from Hanging or fall off from Hanging or from something
you have climbed up on and land on an enemy walking by, you can knock him
unconscious. If you land on a sleeping/unconscious enemy, he will wake up.
If you fall while in Hanging mode, press the Action button (triangle) to grab
onto the railing on the lower level ("fall-and-grab").
Do pull-ups while in Hanging mode by pressing the R2 and L2 buttons in First
Person View. Do 100 pull-ups (they don't have to be consecutive) and your
Grip Gauge will become longer (Level 2). Do 100 more (a total of 200) and the
Grip Gauge will become longer again (Level 3 is the maximum level).
A fall-and-grab while in Hanging mode counts as 10 pull-ups.
If you watch closely, you see a wire in the air at the north side of the
Engine Room. You can take a shortcut across the wire in Hanging mode.
Hold 1: You can keep going forward on the landing of the right and left
ladders. You can then move to other holds from the 2nd floor by
hanging across the railing.
Hold 1: You can go across the wire near the starting point in Hanging mode.
COLONEL CAMPBELL'S CODEC QUOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the game (after the torture scene), Colonel Campbell will, uh,
get messed up. From this point on, he will constantly phone you with random
gibberish. You don't have to answer his calls, but they are funny. Here is a
list of all of Colonel Campbell's quotes (courtesty of El Greco):
"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm, in flap-jaw space,
with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on Hiri-Kiri rock! I need scissors 61!"
"La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo! La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo! La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo!"
"...Infiltrate...the enemy fortress...Outer Heaven!
..Destroy...the final weapon...Metal Gear!"
"Your mission is to infiltrate the fortress Galuade, rescue the hostages and
neutralize Metal Gear before its assembly is complete."
"Variety Level 13 Rescue Meryl, the 'Return of Genola.'"
"Mind the gap."
"President Baker should be somewhere to the south of where you blasted through
the wall. Hurry and save him before the terrorists discover his code."
"Kawanishi-Noseguchi, Kinunobebashi, Takiyama, Uguisunomori, Tsuzumigataki,
Tada, Hirano, Ichinotorii, Uneno, Yamashita, Sasabe, Kofudai, Tokiwadai,
Myoukenguchi."
"I noticed this a while back, but you have far too many Game Overs. Sorry to
be blunt, but you really stink at this game."
"Honestly, though, you have played the game for a long time. Don't you have
anything else to do with your time?"
"You got a PSG-1? You can use that against Sniper Wolf. Hurry up and save
Meryl!"
"You seem to get a real thrill out of slaughtering the enemy. Are you
frustrated about something?"
"Even my patience has its limits. I just can't leave this thing up to you any
longer. I'll do the fighting! You can just go home!"
"Actually, I am in really bad shape financially. I pay money to my ex-wife as
part of our divorce settlement, among other bills... I just had no choice but
to make you pay for lunch the other day. I'm really sorry."
"Anemone or Clematis plant's juice can cause a rash. When pruning them it's
a good idea to wear gloves."
"Big Boss here... Enter the track on the bridge to the right...Over."
"Actually, there is something I have been meaning to tell you but I just
couldn't... I think you should know, though. On Saturday morning last week I
saw a guy leaving Rosemary's room...How should I put it, it was like they
were..."intimate." I'm sorry. Sorry to bring this up during the mission,
but..."
"I say again. Your duty is to infiltrate Zanzibar Land. And seize Kio Marf, an
abducted Czechoslovakian biologist."
"Snake, there's a fork in the conveyor belt. The machine is automatically
sorting cargo according to some system. Take a good look at the device."
"Snake, take the power plant out. Set C4 explosives on four key points
to destroy the structure."
"Snake, they've input both detonation codes. The only way to stop the launch
now is to use the card key to re-input the codes."
"Snake, destroy the power plant's main turbine. It's located in the B1 floor
of the plant. Break into the B1 floor."
"Variety Level 7 Shoot down the space invaders! Training will have to be
postponed if we are invaded by UFOs."
"Weapon Mode Socom Level 01 Destroy all targets to reach the goal! Number of
targets: 3."
"Snake, like Shakespeare said: "Nought's had, all's spent, Where our desire is
got without content." Basically, it means that your desire can get you into
trouble if you're not careful. That goes for Items too. Don't get too greedy
or you might be sorry. Be careful, Snake."
"Snake, remember what De Gaulle said: "The graveyards are full of
indispensable men." Snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys. Try to
be careful and avoid getting into a fight whenever you can."
"Listen, you haven't reported in for a long time until now. You think you can
just CALL only when you want something? You disappoint me."
"Communicator Entertainment Program Idea Spy 2.5 (Two-point-five) Episode 1
New York. Here in the city where dreams come true and desires rule, something
is being bought, sold and thrown away, even as we speak. But behind the scenes
of business as usual, the nefarious J.E. (Junker Expensive) Corporation lines
itsnalready bloated coffers with profits from worthless products. As J.E.
swindles yet another innocent into purchasing high-priced junk...the FBI
mobilizes a top-secret task force to put a stop to the menace. Now, the city's
best-kept secret spy is out there, briefed and ready to protect the people
from J.E., the catalogue of conspiracy -- just call him 2.5 (Two-point-five)."
"I can't believe it -- that someone who has committed all those twisted acts
in the woman's bathroom would make it this far... this is the end of the
world."
"Munch, munch...Um? Raiden? I'm eating right now. Get back to me
later...munch,
munch..."
"You wouldn't be trying to give yourself a bogus score using some ingenious
trick would you? That's just about as low as anyone could possibly stoop! I
can't believe you sometimes..."
"That reminds me, I saw Gubayama the other day in Shibomnigee. He said to give
you his best."
"I'm not home right now. Please leave a message after the beep. BEEP"
"ZZ...zz..."
"I was a North American Fall Webworm in my past life. Those were the good old
days... What were you in your former life?"
