Introduction
--------------
I recently got Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance from one of my friends. He found
that the game was too difficult for him and thus decided to hand it to me.
I can say the game is a great one. I absolutely loved the game, it has
awesome graphics, great gameplay and impressive music.
This is my first FAQ, so please excuse me if you find anything weird with it.
If you wish to contact me, please refer to the <Contacts> section.
This FAQ is written as detailed as possible to allow the understanding of
readers. It is also written for the US-Playstation 2 and XBOX version of
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (It may work on the Japanese version
too, I've not tried it out yet. Any information on whether it works may be
accepted and the contributor will be credited).
And one more thing...this walkthrough is written for those who only want to
complete the missions, and not for those who are bent on obtaining high
scores. However, there are some strategies which may allow you to obtain
a high score for that level.

5. Previous Stories and history of MGS
******************************************************************************
This section contains previous stories of Metal Gear Solid. The information
and stories are taken from the Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance PS2 game
manual.
======================================================
5.1 The Outer Heaven Uprising, 1987
Game release date: 1987
======================================================
FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake infiltrates Outer Heaven, a fortress-nation deep
in the heart of South Africa, and destroys their prototype weapon Metal
Gear, a walking tank with nuclear capability. In the process, he discovers
that the leader of Outer Heaven is none other than Big Boss, the supreme
commander of FOXHOUND, and puts an end to his former comrade's twisted
schemes.
======================================================
5.2 The Zanzibar Land Disturbance, 1990
Game release date: 1990
======================================================
After surviving the Outer Heaven incident, Big Boss escapes to Zanzibar Land
and sets up an independent military regime with the hope of creating a world
of strife, the only kind of world a born soldier can truly enjoy. At the
request of FOXHOUND, Solid Snake infiltrates Zanzibar Land and again
destroys Metal Gear, which had been transferred to Zanzibar Land following the
collapse of Outer Heaven. He triumphs once again in a final, decisive battle
with Big Boss and ensures the downfall of Zanzibar Land.
======================================================
5.3 The Shadow Moses Island Incident, 1998
Game release date: 1998
======================================================
On Shadow Moses, a remote island off the coast of Alaska, FOXHOUND leads an
armed uprising and seizes the new Metal Gear REX in the single biggest act of
terrorism in history. At the request of the government, Col. Roy Campbell,
the former commander of FOXHOUND, summons Solid Snake out of retirement and
sends him to infiltrate Shadow Moses Island in one last solo covert mission.
Snake must penetrate deep into the heart of a nuclear weapons facility.
Aiding him in his mission are Dr. Hal Emmerich, aka Otacon, a former Metal
Gear developer; Meryl, Col. Campbell's niece; and a team of top specialists
in each field, who communicate with Snake via Codec. In the middle of his
battle against members of FOXHOUND, Snake encounters a cyborg ninja, who
thirsts only for battle. This mysterious figure's true identity turns out to
be Grey Fox, Snake's former FOXHOUND comrade who defected to the enemy and
fought against Snake in Zanzibar Land. After destroying Metal Gear REX,
Snake confronts the head of the terrorist group, Liquid Snake, Each of the
Snakes, Liquid and Snake, carries the genes of the 20th century's greatest
soldier, Big Boss. With the support of the cyborg ninja, Snake fights a
decisive battle with Liquid. After a long and protracted struggle, Snake
finally defeats Liquid and leaves the legacy of Shadow Moses behind him.

6. Controls (for PS2)
******************************************************************************
Controls are one of the most important elements in playing this game. To move
around, to engage in a battle and to do many other things require actions,
which require controls. Below are the controls and techniques for this game.
Note: The controls here are only for the Playstation 2 version of the game.
==============
6.1 Movement
==============
Many skills are needed to move around in this game. Mastering the basic moves
is necessary to get through the game.
---------------
6.1a Sneaking
---------------
In Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, character movement control is pressure-
sensitive.
Pressing the left analog stick or digital pad in any direction
allows the character to move in that direction.
Pressing the left analog stick fully will allow the character to run,
while pressing it lightly will allow the character to move slowly,
which is known as 'sneaking'.
Sneaking is an important method and tactic to escape the enemy's attention.
----------------
6.1b Crouching
----------------
The character can be heard if he runs over objects that produce sound, which
may alert nearby guards.
To pass unheard, sneaking can be carried out or the X button may be pressed
to allow the character to crouch. In this position, you can hide from
enemies behind crates, boxes, containers, walls, etc.
When crouching, the character can crawl by pressing the left analog stick or
the digital pad.
---------------
6.1c Crawling
---------------
As mentioned above in the <Crouching> section, this movement is activated
by pressing the left analog stick or the digital pad when the character is
in a couched position.
Crawling comes into great use when moving through vents or under certain
obstructions. Pressing the X button will allow the character to stand up.
--------------
6.1d Rolling
--------------
When moving, pressing the X button will allow the character to roll.
Solid Snake will dive across the ground and perform a somersault. Raiden
will perform a torso-axial flip.
Both rolling methods can be used to knock down enemies. A roll can be used
to dive from corner to corner to avoid character from being seen. Raiden's
torso-axial jump can be used to jump over small gaps or to leap down
stairs.
---------------
6.1e Swimming
---------------
While in the water, the character can swim. The controls are the same for
basic movement (left, right, up, down buttons or the left analog stick).
To dive underwater, press the O button. While underwater, the O button can
be pressed again to allow the character to swim forward.
==============
6.2 Hiding
==============
Hiding from enemies is a very important tactic and getting away undetected
is necessary to get through this game. Hiding can be done behind any opaque
object that blocks the enemy's view of the character.
------------------------------
6.2a Pressing against a wall
------------------------------
Move the character towards a wall and he will press his back against it.
The camera angle will switch to in front of the character and you can see
what is going on behind him.
Pressing the X button while the character is pressed against the wall will
allow the character to crouch, enabling him to hide behind low objects.
--------------------
6.2b Side-Stepping
--------------------
This is another important tactic to master. When the character's back is
leaned against a surface, he can side-step by tilting the left analog stick
a little to the left or right, or by pressing the L2 or R2 button.
This tactic can be used to look around corners or to cross ledges. The
character can also crouch and side-step. Simply press the X button.
------------------------
6.2c Knocking on walls
------------------------
You can allow an enemy to leave his patrol route by diverting his attention,
then quickly run over to your destination. This is done by pressing the O
button when pressed against a surface. The character will knock on the
surface, creating sound to distract the enemy. If the enemy does not hear it,
just knock on the surface a few more times.
------------------------
6.2d Hiding in lockers
------------------------
If the character is being spotted by the enemy, he can hide in several
places. One good hiding spot is the locker. To open a locker, face it and
press the Triangle button. To hide inside it, go all the way in and the
character will shut the door. Once in the locker, you will enter first-
person mode.
During a 'clearing' (activated when character is spotted), the enemy can
see through the vents into lockers. How do you counter that move? Press the
X button and the character will crouch.
============================
6.3 Action Button Commands
============================
The Action button by default for the PS2 is the Triangle button. The Action
button gains temporary functions during certain events in the game.
--------------------
6.3a Opening doors
--------------------
Pressing the Action button will allow the opening of doors.
------------------------
6.3b Calling elevators
------------------------
Face the call button of an elevator and press the Action button to summon it.
To allow an elevator arrive more quickly, tap the Action button twice
consecutively.
------------------------
6.3c Climbing ladders
------------------------
Facing a ladder and pressing the Action button will allow the character to
cling onto it. To allow the character move up or down, press the basic
movement buttons (Up and down for digital pad or left analog stick).
------------------------------
6.3d Climbing onto obstacles
------------------------------
Certain areas in the game are not accessible unless the character climbs over
an obstacle. To do this, simply face the obstacle and press the Action
button, allowing the character to climb over it.
-----------------------------
6.3e Hanging from a railing
-----------------------------
The character can hang from a railing over the edge of a platform or walkway.
The character will hop or flip over the railing and hang from it. From this
position, the character can shimmy along the railing left or right by
pressing the movement control buttons. The character can also drop from the
railing to a lower level by pressing the X button. To get back on the
platform or walkway, press the Action button again.

You can allow an enemy to leave his patrol route by diverting his attention,

button when pressed against a surface. The character will knock on the
surface, creating sound to distract the enemy. If the enemy does not hear it,
just knock on the surface a few more times.
------------------------
7.2d Hiding in lockers
------------------------
If the character is being spotted by the enemy, he can hide in several
places. One good hiding spot is the locker. To open a locker, face it and
press the Y button. To hide inside it, go all the way in and the
character will shut the door. Once in the locker, you will enter first-
person mode.
During a 'clearing' (activated when character is spotted), the enemy can
see through the vents into lockers. How do you counter that move? Press the

8. Tips: What you must or should do when playing the game.
******************************************************************************
When playing the game, always remember these few pointers:
- Always go into first-person mode when shooting an enemy.
- Never make unnecessary sound or noise when navigating through the area.
- Try not to kill anyone unless you really have to.
- Always hide at a strategic location if you enter Alert Mode.
- Always keep a distance from the enemy and be sure not to enter his cone
of view.
- Constantly look at your radar. Without it, you will find playing the game
more difficult than anything.

| There are a few pointers to remember when handling guards: |
| |
| 1)If you tranquilize a guard and another one finds him and wakes him |
| up, everything will return back to normal (You must not be seen). |
| |
| 2)If you happen to enter Alert Mode and you hide under an obstacle, |
| the guards will immediately spot you if they are close to your |
| position. |
| |
| However, if you are in Evasion Mode or Caution Mode and you hide |
| under an obstacle, you will not get spotted even if a guard is near |
| you. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
There are many more pointers, but these should do. If you have any comments,
suggestions or better pointers, please e-mail them to me. If it is accepted,
full credit will be given to you.

9. Alternative Missions - Raiden
******************************************************************************
These are the alternative missions for Raiden. It is not really that hard
to get through the missions if you are a MGS2 veteran. However, if you are a
newbie, don't worry...go through the <Controls> section and you'll become
a stealth expert in no time! Okay, let's begin.
Note: There are a total of over 150 Alternative Missions in this game.
========================
9.1 Bomb Disposal Mode
========================
In the Bomb Disposal Mode, you will be required to dispose bombs in an area.
Given a reasonable time limit, you must dispose the bombs as quickly as
possible to obtain a high score. If you are not satisfied with your score,
you can always choose to restart that particular mission.
=============================================================================
Level One
Time limit : 7 min 00 sec
Bombs : 2
Initial equipment: Sensor A (equipped), Scope, Socom, M9 (equipped, with
suppressor), Chaff Grenades and Coolant.
Venue : Shell Two Core

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you begin, enter first-person mode and knock out the guard in front of
you with your M9. Quickly unequip your M9 and drag the guard to your starting
point, keeping him out of sight.
Equip your M9 again and proceed to the wall beside the stairs. Lean against
the wall and stay very near to the edge. Knock on the wall a few times to
alert one of the guards, then immediately run north to the end of the
passageway. Quickly enter first-person mode. When you see the guard
investigating, tranquilize him, and drag him out of sight.
Now go down the steps (be careful not to be spotted by the guard) and wait
for the guard to turn away. Then sneak up to his back and take him out.
Proceed west and up the stairs, then lean yourself against the wall, again,
at the edge (notice the green area on your radar? That's the location of the
bomb you need to dispose). You should see a guard coming out of a small
passage, stretch his arms, look around, then return to his area. Now quickly
run south towards the wall, enter first-person mode and shoot the guard at
the other end of the passageway.
The guard you saw earlier on will come out again. Tranquilize him. Another
guard may come out of a room at the other end of the passageway...take him
out too.
Swiftly, proceed behind the crates in front of you and equip the
Coolant. Spray on the bomb hiding behind some stuff until it freezes.
The first bomb has been defused.
Note: You can immediately rush to defuse the bomb and go on to the next one
(that's what I did), but that would be risky.
Going for the second bomb...
Head back to your starting point and proceed north, then west. You will see a
door. Enter it. I have drawn out a map to aid you in your second bomb
disposal.

After entering the room, you'll be at O. The bomb is just above the place
marked X. Stand at Point S, equip the Coolant and defuse the bomb. You
have completed your first bomb disposal mission.
============================================================================
Level Two
Time limit : 10 min 00 sec
Bombs : 2
Initial equipment: Sensor A (equipped), Scope, Socom, M9 (equipped, with
suppressor), Chaff Grenades and Coolant.
Venue : Engine Room
============================================================================
Defusing the first bomb is as easy as pressing a button on the controller.
Head forward till you reach the first locker at your destination. The bomb is
located directly above it. Equip your Coolant and dispose the bomb.
Head back and go through the door on your left. Follow the route and down the
stairs. Immediately take out the guard standing in front of you (what I did
was I stood on the steps and took him out).
Proceed forward and down the stairs again. Carefully hide behind the pillar
before you and tranquilize the guard when he turns away. Continue west and
follow along the path. When you reach the bomb location, you see a flight of
steps and another route on the same level.
Now you must be wondering where the bomb is...on the higher or lower level?
The answer lies below the flight of steps. Position yourself facing the
bottom of the steps and equip the Coolant. Defuse the second bomb to
complete this mission.
|--------------------------------------------------------------\
| Note for second bomb disposal (contributed by Eddie Fanning) \
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| If you're having trouble with that guard snooping at you, wait at the |
| lowest level, and back against the wall next to the stairs. He will |
| investigate, but won't see you. As he leaves, follow him and shoot |
| him. Proceed to freeze the final bomb. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
============================================================================
Level Three
Time limit : 15 min 00 sec
Bombs : 3
Initial equipment: Sensor A (equipped), Scope, Socom, M9 (equipped, with
suppressor), Chaff Grenades and Coolant.
Venue : Arsenal Gear
============================================================================
As you start out, head out of the door to your left, proceed south, then
east. You'll immediately see the bomb in a sink. Dispose of it.
Head all the way back to your starting point and proceed to the door on your
right, into Arsenal Gear-Jejunum. Now this part is a little tricky...hide
behind the large container and wait for the guard to turn his back on you.
Put him to sleep, and then quickly drag him to your hiding place to keep him
from being noticed by other guards in the area.
Now, quickly run towards the central container and hide behind it. Once
again, wait for the guard to look away and then tranquilize him without
much difficulty.
Continue forward and hide behind the central container at the end of the
hallway. When the guard looks to the other side, send him to dreamland and
head up the stairs on the left.
Proceed all the way south until you see a guard. If you alert him run
backwards and shoot him while he is investigating. If not, immediately
knock him out when you see him.
Continue south until you arrive at a pillar with a surveillance camera.
Carefully sneak and stay under the camera. Then, equip your M9, enter
first-person mode and take out the patrolling guard on the other side.
Wait patiently till the camera faces north, then run south to the next
bridge and sneak across it. Head north until you reach another bridge.
Sneak to the center of the bridge, face Raiden to the right and enter
first-person mode. Look down a little and there is your second bomb. Equip
your Coolant to defuse it.
Head back to where you started on this level (I know it's troublesome and
remember to watch out for those cameras) and head across the first bridge
you see. Sneak to the middle of the bridge, wait for the surveillance
camera on the other side to face south, then quickly run across. Proceed east
through the door to the Ascending Colon.
As you enter, stop where you are and do not move! Enter first-person mode (or
equip your Coolant immediately) and look at the upper left hand corner of the
door from which you came in...ah...the final bomb. Dispose the bleeping
device.
============================================================================
Level Four
Time limit : 20 min 00 sec
Bombs : 5
Initial equipment: Sensor A (equipped), Scope, Socom, M9 (equipped, with
suppressor), Chaff Grenades and Coolant.
Venue : Deck-A Crew's lounge
============================================================================
Beginning this mission, face left and head towards the lounge. There are
three guards in this lounge. One is patrolling, the other two are sitting
by the stairs loafing. DO NOT tranquilize the guards sitting on the steps
because their bodies are strapped with the bombs!
Slowly sneak towards the guards and go behind them, below the stairs.
Equip the Coolant and spray their backs. After defusing the bombs,
immediately switch to your M9 and hold the guards up (you should hear
Raiden shout "Freeze!"), then tranquilize them. You should still be able to
see the patrolling guard. If not, go out a little and knock him out.
Proceed up the steps and enter the door on your left into Deck-B Crew's
Quarters, Port. Take out the guard up ahead and drag his body into a safe
place. Continue south till you see a patrolling guard on your radar. Wait for
him to turn away and then take him out. I have, once again, drawn out a map
to aid you in your third bomb disposal.

| A |
|_____________________________|
After taking out the guard from Point A, proceed to X. Equip the Coolant and
freeze the bomb, which is above where you are standing.
Head back to the place where you took out the first guard in this area and
go through the door, out to the Aft Deck. Proceed down the staircase and
go through the door at the bottom of the stairs into Deck-A Crew's Quarters.
Go right, enter first-person mode and put the guard at the end of the
passageway to sleep. Continue south and go through the first door into a room
full of lockers. Open the locker beside the basin and there is the bomb...
well, what else can I say but "Defuse the bomb"?
For the final bomb...
Go back to Deck-B and head up the stairs to Deck-C. Tranquilize the guard
at the end of the passage way by entering first-person mode and head up the
stairs to Deck-D Crew's Quarters. Enter the kitchen by going through the
door on your left.
Quickly take out the two guards in there or they will swiftly notice you,
forcing you into Alert Mode, which I'm sure you do not want. Go to the
cooking area, face the frying pans and equip your Coolant. Dispose the bomb,
which is attached to one of the pans. Mission Complete!
============================================================================
Level Five (Final Level)
Time limit : 25 min 00 sec
Bombs : 5
Initial equipment: Sensor A (equipped), Scope, Socom, M9 (equipped, with
suppressor), Chaff Grenades and Coolant.
Venue : Strut B Transformer Room
============================================================================
Follow the path and put the patrolling guard outside the room to sleep.
Enter the room and take out the guard in there. Go north of the room and
where there are two control lockers. Close the opened locker door, look up,
equip your Coolant and dispose the bomb. Exit through the door up north.
Note: There is an AKS-74u you can pick up in the Transformer Room.
Note: As you come out of the room, you will see three lockers in front of
you. Open the middle locker to obtain a book, which is useful for
distracting the enemy (You may not need it in this mission, though).
Head out through the main door (orange in color) to the BC Connecting Bridge.
Knock out the guard and go across...shooting the Cypher with your AKS-74u
along the way. If it spots you, be ready to enter Alert Mode and take some
damage.
You'll see the bomb beside the big letter 'C' on the wall...dispose
the bomb. Proceed through the door into the Strut C Dining Hall. Enter the
women's room and look up, then right just as you enter. You will see the bomb.
Freeze it with your Coolant. You must carry out all these as quickly as
possible or else one guard will investigate the room. If he does, send him to
his dreams.
Go out and proceed north, follow the path and go out to the CD Connecting
Bridge. Take out the guard on the upper level and go down to the lower level.
Here, you must be quick and cautious because there are trap panels which
will make you fall right into the sea. Keep running till you reach the floor
panels on the right of the bomb (the middle of the two railings on the right
of the bomb), which is attached to the railing. If you missed it, do a
torso-axial jump over the broken panel (by pressing the X button). Dispose
the bomb, then run all the way, up and right, to the Strut D Sediment Pool.
As you enter, proceed north and follow the path round, taking out the two
guards on the level along the way. Go up the steps onto the small, raised
platform. Face right, enter first-person mode and look up. Freeze the final
bomb.
Congratulations! You have completed the Bomb Disposal Missions for Raiden!
======================
9.2 Elimination Mode
======================
In the Elimination Mode, you will be required to eliminate guards in an area.
Given a reasonable time limit, you must take out the guards as quickly as
possible to obtain a high score. If you are not satisfied with your score,
you can always choose to restart that particular mission.
============================================================================
Level One
Time Limit : 2 min 30 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped) and M9.
Venue : FA Connecting Bridge
============================================================================
As you begin your first elimination mission, switch your equipped Socom to
the M9.
Head out to the bridge and take out the two guards on the top level.
Then head down the stairs to the bottom level and wait for the guard to turn
away.
Carefully tranquilize the guard and repeat the tactic for the next
guard. Now head to the finishing point at the other end of the bridge (on the
lower level). Mission completed!
Note: If the guards on the lower level spot you when going down the stairs,
quickly run back up and wait for him to investigate. While he is
looking into the matter, quickly tranquilize him.
============================================================================
Level Two
Time Limit : 2 min 30 sec
Enemies : 3
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped) and M9.
Venue : Deck-A Crew's Quarters
============================================================================
Again, switch your equipped Socom to the M9. Head south and follow the path
till you see a guard on the radar. Head up his back and put him to sleep.
Continue along the path and take out the next guard. Proceed to the next
passageway and wait for the guard to turn his back against you. Shoot him.
Note: If the guard sees your footprints and investigates, head into the room
and hide in a locker. When the coast is clear, continue to eliminate
him.
Head to the finishing point, it's that simple!
============================================================================
Level Three
Time Limit : 2 min 30 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial equipment : PSG1, PSG1-T, Scope and Pentazemin (equipped).
Venue : DE Connecting Bridge
============================================================================
Head to the opening and use a Pentazemin, then equip the PSG1-T. Take out the
guard at the end of the bridge. Another guard from the bottom level will come
up. Tranquilize him too.
Now aim your rifle upwards and shoot the head of the guard guarding the
higher bridge. Now aim a little higher and shoot the guard on top.
Note: You may notice that your handling of the gun gets unstable after a
while. Use a Pentazemin to stable it.
Run all the way to the other end of the bridge (the level you are on) to the
finishing point to complete the mission.
============================================================================
Level Four
Time Limit : 2 min 30 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial equipment : AKS-74u.
Venue : Strut E Material Distribution Facility
============================================================================
Equip the AKS-74u and just simply run around the area and shoot at the
guards. In no time they will all be wiped out and you can head south-east
to the finishing point.
============================================================================
Level Five
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial equipment : Claymore (equipped) and Stun Grenades.
Venue : Shell One Core
============================================================================
This mission is an interesting one. You'll have to go around strangling
the guards and you cannot use explosives as it will alert the others. Here we
go!
Unequip the claymore and stay where you are. Watch the radar until you see
a guard heading into your area. Hide behind the wall next to the door and
wait for the guard to come in. When he does, sneak up behind him and break
his neck.
Head east and down the two flights of steps. Wait for the guard to head west.
Run up behind him and break his neck.
You will see another guard heading towards your direction from the south. Run
east to the other end , switch to first person mode and wait for him to
emerge from behind the walls. When he begins to make his way back, quickly
run up behind him and strangle him.
One last guard to go...
Head south and lean against the edge of the wall. Wait till the guard turns
away and strangle him. You must be quick with him or he will spot you.
Head to the finishing point.
============================================================================
Level Six
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 6
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped), M9, Stun Grenades, RGB6 and claymore.
Venue : Shell One Core
============================================================================
As you start out, switch your Socom to the M9 and head east. As you come out,
take out the guard heading north. Quickly head south, follow the path and
enter the room through the door.
Watch your radar. When you see the guard just outside the other end of the
room turn away, head out and tranquilize him.
Head to where the guard fell and take out the other two guards in the area,
be quick.
Proceed all the way north and again, take out the two guards here carefully.
Now head back where you took out the third guard to the finishing point.
Note: If you run out of ammo while using the M9, use the Socom.
============================================================================
Level Seven
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 7
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped), M9, Stun Grenades, C4 and Stinger.
Venue : Shell Two Core
============================================================================
Equip your M9 and stay where you are. Face left and enter first person mode.
Wait for a guard to past by and quickly shoot him.
Head out and wait for the guard up north (watch your radar) to head east. Run
behind him and hold him up, tranquilize him.
Head out, south and down the stairs. Quickly sneak behind the guard and take
him out. Proceed west and shoot the other guard (If he has gone up the stairs
quickly take him out).
Head up the stairs and run south to the wall. Enter first person mode and
tranquilize the guard at the other end of the passageway. Grab the M9 ammo
lying on the floor.
Head all the way north and face right. Enter first person mode, shoot the
final guard. Head to the finishing point to end this mission successfully.
============================================================================
Level Eight
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 5
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped), M9, Stun Grenades, Grenades, Stinger
and Claymore.
Venue : Strut F Warehouse
============================================================================
Equip your M9 and head out, taking out the first guard. Now take out the
other guard across where you are standing.
From the top, you can eliminate the other two guards on the lower level. You
must aim correctly or you will be out of ammo very quickly. If met with this
situation, you have no choice but to break the guards' necks.
If you took out all four guards using the M9, you'll be out of ammo. Switch
your weapon to the Socom and head north, hiding behind the wall. Wait for the
guard to turn away and shoot lead into his head.
Head to the finishing point downstairs.
============================================================================
Level Nine
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 7
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped), M9, PSG1, PSG1-T, Stun Grenades, RGB6,
C4, Scope and Pentazemin.
Venue : Arsenal Gear - Jejunum
============================================================================
Now this mission is a little tough. Switch your equipped Socom to the M9 and
quickly take out the first guard you see.
Head to the center of the screen (still behind the two big containers), use
a Pentazemin and equip the PSG1-T and zoom in to the right. Eliminate the
guard that appears.
Head to the central container and then up ahead to the right container. A
guard on top should spot you. Quickly hide behind the central container and
take him out when he is not prepared (look at your radar). If he doesn't
spot you, continue up the stairs and take him out.
Head up the stairs to your right. Proceed west, then south to collect the
Night Vision Goggles. Carefully head north till you see a guard. Take him
out. From there, you can equip either your PSG1-T or PSG1 to eliminate the
guard on the lower level, remember to use the Pentazemin as well.
By now, your M9 and PSG1-T would be empty. So switch to the Socom and
continue forward. Take out that guard up ahead. Head to the center of the
bridge and equip your PSG1. Make sure there are no other guards around. See
the only guard on the lower level, zoom in and shoot.
Run over to the finishing point. Now onto the final mission!
============================================================================
Level Ten (Final Level)
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 7
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped), M9, PSG1, PSG1-T, Stun Grenades,
Grenades, RGB6, Nikita (empty), Claymore, C4, AP Sensor
(equipped) and Pentazemin.
Venue : Engine Room
============================================================================
This is the toughest mission so far, so be really prepared!
You are not provided with a radar in this mission, so now you are on your own.
However, you do have an AP Sensor. When an enemy is near you, your controller
will vibrate faster.
Starting this mission, follow the path and head out through the door, down
the stairs. Take out that guard. Continue north and head down the stairs,
sneaking up behind that guard and eliminating him.
|---------------------------\
| Note about Thermal Goggles \
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| There is a pair of Thermal Goggles at the starting point. From the |
| starting point, head north to the lockers and look around for the |
| Thermal Goggles. Equip if desired. |
| |
| With the Thermal Goggles, you will be able to see all guards, which |
| includes camouflaged ones. Now you can deal with the guards at ease. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Note: Be careful with the guard below the long flight of steps because he has
the stealth camouflage equipped. I suggest you stay on the steps till
you figure out his position before shooting him.
It all depends on your skills here.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Alternative Strategy (Use this if you don't have the Thermal Goggles) \
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| After eliminating the first guard, head south and lean on the railing. |
| You'll be able to see the camouflaged guard. After he turns away, hang |
| and drop down, taking him out. Beware of the guard on the other side, |
| though. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
From here, take out the other guard across the other side (he's holding a
shield). If he spots you, run to the other end and enter first person mode,
wait for him to investigate and take him out. You can also choose to use the
PSG1-T. It's all up to you.
Head to the other side, then north to collect the Socom ammo. Equip your
Socom if your M9 has run out of bullets. Head south and follow the path till
you reach the bottom of a flight of steps. Enter first person mode and take
out the guard on the highest level.
Now quickly equip your PSG1 rifle, use a Pentazemin and kill the camouflaged
guard. Head up the small steps, to the right and head north. Take out the
guard and grab the M9 ammo. Equip your M9 now.
Head back and go up the long flight of steps. See that guard over there, send
him to bed.
You should be able to see the finishing point on the highest level. Head
north and follow along the path, heading up the two staircases and to the
point.
Mission Completed!
Congratulations! You have completed the Elimination Missions for Raiden!
============================================================================
Just to tell you what I did after playing through the missions:
I was typing the walkthrough on my laptop and playing at the same time.
After completing the missions, I exited without saving. Can you believe it?
Anyway, my concern was this walkthrough. So I really want to add a little tip
here, though you may find it stupid: Never press your buttons too quickly
when navigating the menu and always save your game after playing.
==================
9.3 Hold Up Mode
==================
In the Hold Up Mode, you will be required to hold up guards in an area.
Given a reasonable time limit, you must take out the guards as quickly as
possible to obtain a high score. If you are not satisfied with your score,
you can always choose to restart that particular mission.
To hold up a guard sneak up or run behind him and aim your gun at him. If
done correctly, you will hear Raiden shout "Freeze!".
============================================================================
Level One
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 1
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped, empty), M9 and Coolant.
Venue : BC Connecting Bridge
============================================================================
This is a very simple mission. Switch to your M9 and head out to the bridge
and quickly rush to the guard and hold him up when he turns away.
If you are slow, he will immediately turn around and spot you and this
mission will end.
Head to the finishing point.
============================================================================
Level Two
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 2
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped, empty), M9 and Coolant.
Venue : Strut A Pump Facility
============================================================================
Actually, you don't really need to switch your weapon as you are not going
to shoot the guard. So head out of your starting point.
Go around the square area and hold up the first guard you see. If the other
guard spots you, run back to where you began.
Head south and follow behind the second guard around the crates. At the
right timing, hold him up.
Head to the finishing point to complete the second Hold Up Mission.
============================================================================
Level Three
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped, empty), Box 3.
Venue : Shell One Core
============================================================================
Grab the book lying to your right and head out through the right door and
down the two flight of steps. Watch the radar and when the guard nearest to
your position turns away, hold him up.
Wait for the second guard to turn away and head east. Quickly run behind him
and hold him up.
Proceed north and equip Box 3. Stop moving when you reach the entrance of
the computer area. When the guards turn away, unequip the Box and hold him
up. Quickly equip the Box again to avoid detection by the other guard
Repeat the same Box method for the final guard, and then head to the
finishing point. You have completed Mission Three.
============================================================================
Level Four
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 2
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped, empty), M9, book and Coolant.
Venue : AB Connecting Bridge
============================================================================
As you start out, head outside and hold up the first guard you see (it's
very simple, trust me). If he is reporting, wait till he finishes and hold
him up, or else an investigation will be carried out and you will fail
your mission.
I have drawn out a map to help you hold up the second guard.
----------------------|
A |
-----------------| |
| |
| -------------------
|
| X
| -------------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
-----------------| |
B |
----------------------|
Equip the Book and place one at X. Wait for the guard to arrive at point A
and let him spot you. When he proceeds to investigate, quickly head to point
B and hang down the railing. When the guard sees the Book, he will get
excited and bend down to read the Book.
Now is the chance to strike. Run up to him and hold him up. Then head to the
finishing point to complete the mission.
============================================================================
Level Five
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped, empty), M9 and Coolant.
Venue : Strut B Transformer Room
============================================================================
Grab the two Books lying behind you and head west, then leaning against the
wall. Watch the two guards. When they turn away, quickly run over and hold
both of them up.
Note: There is an alternative strategy for holding up the first two guards.
As you start out, head into the way of the two guards, keep a distance
from them and place the two Books on the floor.
Hide behind the wall. If done correctly, the two guards will bend
down when they see the books. Head out and hold them up.
(It's very cool to see them have the both reactions when they see the
books and when they are being held up.)
Head inside the Transformer Room through the south door. As you enter, get
Box 1 lying on the floor. Equip it and run north, holding up the third guard.
If he turns around, stop moving (your Box is still equipped, unequip it to
hold the guard up).
Proceed down the stairs south of the room and hold up the final guard when
he turns away.
Head out through the door north of the room to the finishing point.
============================================================================
Level Six
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 5
Initial equipment : Socom (equipped, empty), M9, book, Box 1 and Coolant.
Venue : Strut F Warehouse
============================================================================
Wait patiently until the two guards north of your starting point turn away,
then hold up the guard nearest to your position. Now quickly head back to
your starting position.
When the other guard comes over and turns away again, sneak behind his back
and hold him up.
Proceed north and hold up the guard on the other side of the level. Head

task. Head out and hold up the first guard. Be quick or he will spot you,
instantly terminating the mission.
Hide behind the central container and wait for the other guard to turn away.
Hold him up.
Head all the way north till you see a guard. Carefully sneak up behind him
and hold him up.
Now quickly head back south and hide behind one of the containers when the

containers. When he faces the other way, quickly hold him up.
You will see another two guards just left of your position. Watch their
movements on the radar. When you see them moving sideways to the left, run
up to them and hold both of them up at the same time. Don't worry, it's
simple.
Head a little to the left until a guard spots you. Quickly run south and when
you see him investigating, get behind him and hold him up.

and wait for a guard to past by, then proceed to hold him up.
Head north, then east through the door into the Air Purification Room.
Be careful as there is a camouflaged guard in the room. I have drawn out a

Continue west and up the stairs, hiding behind the wall. Quickly head
through the door on the east wall just around the stairs. In there is a
camouflaged guard. Hold him up and head out of the room.
When the guard at the other end of the room heads south and then north again,
go behind him and hold him up.
Beware as there is another guard up north in stealth camouflage. Hide in the
room or go further south until you see him turn away (you need to have sharp
eyes), then go behind him and hold him up.
Note: If you have trouble locating the final camouflaged guard, switch to
first person mode and quickly look around, then hold him up.
Head to the finishing point.

You will have Sensors A and B to help you in your bomb disposal. Sensor A
detects bombs that can be disposed at close range, while Sensor B detects
bombs that can only be disposed at a certain distance away from the bomb.
Head out and take out the first guard you see. Then head north, then south
and through the door into the Air Purification room. Hear the beeping
sound getting faster? The bomb is nearby.
As you enter, go left a little, just a little, a floor tile away from the
west wall, and crouch down. See the bomb (enter first person mode)? Equip
the Coolant and dispose the bomb.
Equip your HF Blade and head back out of the room. Continue south and down
the stairs. Take out the snoozing guard (be careful not to go too much to
the left or the bomb will be activated, just stand at the bottom of the

the way to the right and get behind those crates you see. Equip the
Coolant, face the crates and look through the gap.
See the bomb? Dispose it.

Hide at the entrance of Strut C till the Cypher is out of view, then get
to the middle of the bridge, to the broken bridge area. Stop moving when
you get near the broken railing.
Crouch down and equip the Coolant. Look down towards the sea and you will
see the bomb strapped to the broken railing on the right. Defuse it. Do all
these quickly or the Cypher will force you into Alert Mode.
Now let's go for the third bomb. Equip Sensor A and head north, through the
door into the Strut C Dining Hall. Proceed north and kill the guard, fast.
Go into the dining area through the north door.
Just as you enter, equip the Coolant. Look to the left and spray the box
you see, defusing the bomb.
Equip the HF Blade and head out east through the main door to the CD

are standing), get behind him and eliminate him.
From here, rush towards every guard and hack-and-slash wildly. Eliminate
anything in your way and this mission will be soon over (I am not trying to
be lazy here, but this is the best way I can think of...any alternative
strategies for this mission may be accepted).
Head to the finishing point.
Note: Remember to crouch behind a corner to heal up when you are low on

to get you into Alert Mode (I'm serious...) and get back to your starting
position.
Wait patiently as the guards, one by one, enter. Take them out. If no guards
appear for quite a long time, get out and stay at the door...when you see a
guard (sometimes lots of them), quickly slash them wildly.
Continue this until you've eliminated all the guards (it'll be quick...trust
me).
Head to the finishing point.
Congratulations! You have completed the Elimination Missions and Alternative

11. Alternative Missions - Snake
******************************************************************************
These are the alternative missions for Snake. Nothing much to elaborate on.
Begin now...
==========================
11.1 Bomb Disposal Mode
==========================
In the this Mode, you will be required to dispose bombs in an area.
Given a reasonable time limit, you must defuse the bombs as quickly as
possible to obtain a high score. If you are not satisfied with your score,
you can always choose to restart that particular mission.

Enemies : 3
Initial equipment : M9 (equipped), USP, Chaff Grenades, Sensor A (equipped),
Scope and Coolant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting out, enter first person mode and take out the guard in front of
you. Head out and proceed south. Stay at the top of the stairs and face
the bottom of the stairs. Enter first person mode, take out that guard (he
may be sleeping).
Head down the stairs and tranquilize the other guard. Now climb onto the
stack of boxes. Equip the Coolant, face left and look up to the ceiling.
Freeze the bomb you see.
Unequip your Coolant and equip the M9. Continue west and up the stairs.
Quickly head into the room round the corner of the wall (there are two
surveillance cameras in there, equipped with guns, so be careful).
Stay under the camera to your north. Face right and equip the Coolant.
Look into the vent in front of you and you will see the bomb. Dispose it.
Now head out and left into the small area. Put that guard to sleep.
Continue all the way north to the other end of the passageway and take out
the guard.
Get into the small room on the right...there is another guard here. Head
out of the room through the north door opening and go right. Hear the
beeping sound? Face the circuit breakers and equip the Coolant. Spray on
the circuit breaker which has three bullet holes to get rid of the final
bomb.
Mission completed!
============================================================================
Level Two
Time Limit : 10 min 00 sec
Enemies : 2
Initial equipment : M9 (equipped), USP, Chaff Grenades, Sensor A (equipped),
Scope and Coolant.
Venue : Engine Room
============================================================================
As you start out, head forward and out through the door on the left. Hang
down the railing, wait for the guard to walk away and drop down to the
bottom level. Now head down the flight of steps till you hear a beeping
sound. Stay there, equip the Coolant and look directly up. Defuse the bomb.
Equip your M9 and proceed down the stairs. Wait for the guard here to turn
away (watch your radar or enter first person mode) and head to the other
side across the small bridge (on your left).
Head south and follow the path. Continue up the long flight of steps. Take
out the guard on this level. Now head north, following along the path and
then up the stairs (just go up, up and up).
Get into the room through the door (it's pretty straightforward here so I
will not elaborate further). Now go north of the room to the watertight
door. Face left, equip the Coolant, see the bomb and complete the mission
by doing your job.
============================================================================
Level Three
Time Limit : 15 min 00 sec
Enemies : 3
Initial equipment : M9 (equipped), USP, Chaff Grenades, Sensor A (equipped),
Scope and Coolant.
Venue : Shell Two Core
============================================================================
Head out through the left door into the torture chamber. Get to the control
panel south of the torture machine, crouch and let Snake lie on the floor.
Equip the Coolant and defuse the bomb.
Get back to your starting position and head out through the right door into
Arsenal Gear, Jejunum. Get behind the first guard you see and immediately
tranquilize him (if you don't do it swiftly, he will retaliate).
Continue north and wait for the guard up north to turn away. Then rush in
to tranquilize him. From afar, take out the final guard on this level.
Now head up the stairs and get behind the container you see. Face right,
crouch, equip the Coolant and dispose the bomb on top of the container
on the lower level.
Equip your M9 and head towards the first bridge. Wait for the surveillance
camera on the other side to face south, then quickly run across, north,
then east through the door to Arsenal Gear, Ascending Colon.
Head all the way south till you hear the beeping sound. Stop. Face left
and equip your Coolant. The bomb is under the double pipes. Defuse it.
============================================================================
Level Four
Time Limit : 20 min 00 sec
Enemies : 5
Initial equipment : M9 (equipped), USP, Chaff Grenades, Sensor A (equipped),
Scope and Coolant.
Venue : Deck A Crew's Lounge
============================================================================
Head left from your starting point towards the two guards sitting on
the steps. Hide behind the bottom of the stairs, enter first person mode
and tranquilize the two guards. From your position, look towards the
lounge and take out the lone guard there.
Head to the bartender area, punch and kick the bottles on display. See the
beeping bomb? Equip the Coolant and defuse the bomb.
Equip the M9 and head up the stairs (where you took out the first two
guards) and go through the left door into Deck B Crew's Quarters. Take out
the guard up north and head forward, following along the path and taking
out the guards.
Continue till you see the greenish area on your radar. Head towards that
place and you will see a staircase. Head up the stairs, face north, equip
the Coolant and turn 180 degrees around. Defuse the bomb.
Head out to the Aft Deck through the watertight door at the bottom of the
staircase. Once you are outside, head down the stairs and take out the
guard as you proceed north.
Continue west, taking out another guard, then head all the way north
to the disposal gate (you should know where it is if you've played through
Sons Of Liberty...fell free to ask questions on this section).
Now you should see the bomb if you get to the edge of the ship. Equip the
Coolant, look up and freeze the bomb.
Equip your M9 and head back to the starting point at Deck B Crew's Quarters.
Head up the stairs located west to Deck C Crew's Quarters. Tranquilize the
guard at the other end of the passageway before he spots you.
Head east till you reach the locker area. Equip the Coolant and look up
at the cross-beam. You should see the bomb. If not, try looking around that
area on the ceiling. You know what you should do...
Tackling the final bomb...
Head up the stairs you see after defusing the fourth bomb to Deck D Crew's
Quarters.
Proceed east, then north and through the door on the east wall into the
food pantry. See the guard sleeping and the bomb there at his feet? Lure
him away from his position and put him to sleep.
Dispose the bomb.
============================================================================
Level Five (Final Level)
Time Limit : 25 min 00 sec
Enemies : 7
Initial equipment : M9 (equipped), USP, Chaff Grenades, Sensor A (equipped),
Scope and Coolant.
Venue : Strut B Transformer Room
============================================================================
Beginning the final mission, head east, then north and tranquilize the
patrolling guard. Now head into the Transformer Room through the door on
your right.
Once inside, head down the stairs to the lower level, grabbing Box 2 at the
same time. Head north and position yourself in the middle of the green
area on your radar.
Face left and crouch. Equip the Coolant. Defuse the bomb. Head out of the
room through the north door, grabbing the PSG-1 lying on the floor too.
Head to the BC Connecting bridge through the main door.
As you head out, tranquilize the guard and stay under the entrance of
Strut B (the place you just came out from). Turn around and face south.
Equip the Coolant, look up and dispose the bomb.
Equip the M9 and continue all the way north to the Strut C Dining Hall
(beware of the Cypher while heading across the bridge).
Get into the Men's Room and open the left cubicle's door. Face north and
equip the Coolant. Look up, do your job.
Head out, then north and follow along the path. Head out to the CD
Connecting Bridge through the main door.
Enter first person mode and tranquilize the guard as you head out. Again,
there is a Cypher patrolling the area, so be careful.
Head out and grab the USP Supressor, equipping it at the same time. Head
down to the lower level by using the first flight of steps you see. Stop
at the bottom of the second section of the staircase. Face the large pipe,
equip your Coolant and defuse the bomb that is wedged in between the pipe
and the upper level of the bridge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I currently have not much time to complete this section, so I will give
you the locations of the last three bombs. I will write up a detailed
walkthrough for the next update, so don't worry if you are stuck.
Here are the locations of the last three bombs:
Bomb #5: The upper level of the CD Connecting Bridge, in between two
railings (look at the radar to comfrim the location).
Bomb #6: Strut D, Sediment Pool. Get to the green area. The bomb is
not accessible but you should be able to dispose it from your
position. Be accurate in your aiming.
Bomb #7: Strut D, Sediment Pool. Get to the lower level and the bomb
is right on the railing above the door that leads to the DE
Connecting Bridge.

12. Alternative Missions - Pliskin
******************************************************************************
These are the Alternative Missions for Pliskin. To unlock this character,
get 50% or more of Snake's Missions done.
Note: This whole section was contributed by Masamune3, and will be remained
unaltered.
However, if you find any defects, please do not hesitate to
correct me. You will be fully credited if your information is
acceptable.
=========================
12.1 Bomb Disposal Mode
=========================
Bomb Disposal Mode is derived from the bomb disposal that you do on the Big
Shell. However, this time, you have a set amount of time to find them all,
and get rid of them.
To increase the difficulty, all of Pliskin's bombs can only be found with
Sensor B, which means you need to keep your ears open, and your eyes
fixed. What's more, because you are using Sensor B, you cannot come within 2
metres of the bomb, or else it'll explode.
However, this can work to your advantage for that pesky bomb that you just
can't seem to find - let it explode, then trace the source of the explosion.
As a general rule of thumb, the first time through a level, take out all the
guards, and then search for the bombs. Makes life 10 times easier, I assure
you.
Note: Only the bomb locations are listed here. If there are many requests
to write up a detailed section, I will.
============================================================================
Level One
Time Limit : 7 min 00 sec

when you walk out into the open.
3) Attached to the bottom-left dining chair in the Strut C dining room.
4) Underneath the top-level of the CD Connecting Bridge. Find it just above
the pipes on the lower-level.

Connecting Bridge door, Strut D.
=======================
12.2 Elimination Mode
=======================
In this part of the game, you need to dispose of the enmies in the shortest
time possible. This is much like the Eliminate All Mode in VR Missions, but
rather than in a VR environment, you are placed in a section of the either
the Tanker or the Big Shell.
Another difference is the weapons you have - the amount of ammo you have
gradually decreases in each level.
As the difficulty rises, you are forced to think of new options to take out
the enemies.
============================================================================
Level One
Time Limit : (not sure)
Enemies : 4

============================================================================
Level Four

Enemies : 4
Initial Equipment : M4 rifle, M9 Tranquilizer.
============================================================================
Run outside, and wait for the guard to see you. Then run back in and equip
and throw the Stun Grenade out the door.
This should take out some enemies. Now run south, head through the door and

there. Clear the rest of the level with the M4.
============================================================================
Level Eight
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 7
Initial Equipment : M4 rifle, M9 Tranquilizer, Stun Grenades, Grenades,
Stinger and Claymore.
============================================================================

Stinger, and take out the remaining 3 with the M4.
============================================================================
Level Nine
Time Limit : 5 min 00 sec
Enemies : 8
Initial Equipment : M4 rifle, Stun Grenades, PSG-1 rifle, RGB6 and C4.

an Alert with a C4. Wait.
Two guards should die for the Claymores (if not, just use another weapon to
finish them off) and then clear the rest of the fools (most of them will
come to you) with either the RGB6 or the M4.
===================
12.3 HOLD-UP MODE

============================================================================
Level Three
Time Limit : 3 min 00 sec
Enemies : 4
Initial Equipment : USP and Coolant

the south-western most part of of the floor.
Knock on the wall to get a gaurd to come over, and just before he turns the
corner (i.e. his head turns), then get him. Watch the movements of the last
guard, then go get him too.

the light warps) get him. Go into the room where you found the President, and
get the other gaurd (also wearing stealth).
Come back out, and head down the stairs. Hold-up the enemy in stealth who is
standing by the staris, and then the second guard in stealth standing by the
boxes.
By now, another guard (noy in stealth) will be headed your way, so take this
chance to nab him too.
Proceed up the stairs on the opposite side of the area you are in now, and
take a peek around the corner.
=============================================================================
There will be more Alternative Missions coming really soon! Check back every

====================
15.1 Sneaking Mode
====================
Sneaking Mode - Sneaking requires you to sneak around the area and get to
the goal.
Sneaking Mode - Eliminate All requires you to sneak around the area and
eliminate all of the guards patrolling the area.
================================
15.1a Sneaking Mode - Sneaking
================================
<This section is contributed by Kjell Le.>
---------
Level 1
---------
This is very easy, just run through behind the guard when he faces right.
---------
Level 2
---------
Wait till the guard is facing right. Run up to the second guard that is
facing left and choke him once (don’t kill him. Hit the choke button once
only!) and run to goal.
---------
Level 3
---------
Wait till the guard is facing up. Run up and head right-up. You will see
two guards on the right (radar). When you run, do a torso-axial flip through
the nearest guard to the goal.
---------
Level 4
---------
Flatten against the wall and make a noise. Run up where the guard stood,
between two other guards. The one on the right is facing left and south.
Run past him when he is facing south and head to goal. (In this level you
can run all the way to goal after you flatten against the wall, trust me.)
---------
Level 5
---------
Use hanging mode to knock out the guard below you. Don’t let a guard spot
you when you run to hang. (“Is somebody there?”)
After knocking out the first guard let a guard who is facing down spot you.
(You can see him.)
Don’t hesitate to run and lean against the wall, nearest to the guard, when
he is facing down. (You will save time) He won’t see you but you must run
past him quick.
Spin over the noise-making floor. Stand where you are for a while and head
to goal. (Waiting for the guard facing left so you can spin over the last
noise-making floor)
Note: there is a guard above you who can see you.
---------
Level 6
---------
This is a tricky level. Climb up two times onto the obstacles and flip over
to the right two times. Flip again towards north, then to the right twice and
head to goal.
Note: You can make all these easier, but it will take away two seconds from
your time limit: Flatten to the wall and make a noise when you begin.
---------
Level 7
---------
This level requires much skill. Run to the third locker. When the guard is
trying to facing left flip towards him. (This is what I call skill playing.
It is possible to take him out.) Run south, at the second cut-out run right.
At the corner, flatten to the wall and wait till the reinforcements run past
you. Then the goal is clear. Note: If you don’t like the reinforcement to
come, remember not to kill the guard.
---------
Level 8
---------
Run up the stairs and flip down the other. Run up until you see a guard. He
will stop. (Keep running) Freeze him, head right and up the stairs, then
up-right to goal. Note: you must be fast or the last guard will see you.
---------
Level 9
---------
This level is easy if you know what to do. Grab the box and wait till the
guard is facing north. Choke him once. Run behind the second guard. Choke
the last guard and head to goal.
----------
Level 10
----------
This is easy, too. Run up the stairs (ignore the magazine on the floor) and
head up then right. Take the box and run past the guard. Flip over the
noise-making floor. Head down the stairs. Instead of turning left, head
north then turn left. Choke the guard once and head to goal.
Note: you must run as fast as you can, or the first guard will see you.
=====================================
15.1b Sneaking Mode - Eliminate All
=====================================
<This section is contributed by Kjell Le.>
---------
Level 1
---------
Take up the M9 and take out the guard quickly. (Headshot only!)
---------
Level 2
---------
Wait till the guard turns right. Pick up the M9 then shoot the upper guard
and the right one. Run near goal and shoot the last guard.
---------
Level 3
---------
Head right and pick up the M9. Shoot the guard and head up.
Shoot another guard and head up then left. Face down and shoot the last
guard.
---------
Level 4
---------
Flatten against the wall and make a noise. Run and grab the M9.
Freeze the guard and shoot him. Run up, at the first intersection turn left.
Freeze the guard and shoot. Run a little forward, face right and shoot the
last guard.
---------
Level 5
---------
Run north, then right and pick up the M9. (Don’t let a guard spot you)
Run left, face north and shoot him. Run to the middle of the noise-making
floor and shoot a guard at the same level as you.
Crouch and shoot the nearest guard to you, then the other near goal.
Back track, go into hanging mode and knock the guard below you. Head towards
the goal.
---------
Level 6
---------
Take the M9. Shoot the nearest guard, and then the other. Run right, and then
north till you see a sleeping guard, then shoot.
Wait till the other guard facing up, then shoot. Run forward and climb
towards the goal.
---------
Level 7
---------
Take M9 from the first locker, and then shoot the guard. (Don’t hesitate
further!) Run up and wait at the corner, and then shoot the guard before he
is facing south. It is very easy to take out the remaining two guards.
---------
Level 8
---------
Run right and take the M9. Run north, under the surveillance camera and
shoot the guard. Turn left, then face north and shoot the two guards. Face
right and shoot the last guard.
---------
Level 9
---------
Take up the M9. Shoot the guard when he is facing north. Flip through his
body and shoot the other guard. Wait for the final guard to face south. Rush
in for the kill. When you wait for the goal to appear run and grab some
items.
===================
15.4 Variety Mode
===================
Make use of all the skills you have learnt so far to get through these
missions.
<This section is contributed by Justanormalgamer.>
---------
Level 1
---------
This one’s easy. Run across the disappearing floor, keeping on the inside to
avoid the mines. Crawl through to the next part, and then climb the blocks to
make your way up and west. Continue running through the zigzag platform,
avoiding the mines and making sure not to fall.
At the end, hang and drop to a lower level, and run a short way north to the
goal while avoiding the mines.
---------
Level 2
---------
Same level as before, only you have to destroy targets with your handgun now.
Hold Square and L1 to run and shoot, and use this technique to destroy the
first 4 targets. Continue through the same path as before. After jumping off
the blocks, head west and climb up the first set of stairs.
Turn east and shoot the target moving up and down in first person mode.
Continue across the platform, destroying targets along the way. At the end,
pick up the AKS-74U and drop to the lower level. Use it to destroy the walls
blocking your path and reach the goal.
---------
Level 3
---------
Head to the right side of the platform and hang over the railing. Drop all
the way down and catch the railing right after the structure. From there,
drop down again and catch the railing below. Make your way down along the
railing, and when Raiden’s feet is aligned with the railing below, drop and
catch. Right along the railing, drop and catch when Raiden’s feet is aligned
with the railing below.
Move up, drop and catch when feet is aligned with railing. Right, same thing.
Up, yada yada. Left, you know the drill. Up, drop on the platform, and run
to the goal.
Note: If you have trouble with the Grip Gauge running out too soon, do as
many hang-drop-catch as possible on the structure. 1 hang-drop-catch
equals 10 pull-ups. Do 10 of these and you’ll gain a level on your
Grip Gauge.
---------
Level 4
---------
Hang-drop-catch to the lower platform to get a better view. Crouch, equip
your PSG1 or PSG1-T and take a Pentazemin. If you’re quick enough, you can
shoot the soldier going right on the second level. Another soldier will
arrive from the top level and take the same path.
2 more soldiers follow this same path, so that’s 4 out of 8 soldiers killed.
A fifth soldier will come running left past the second level, and a sixth
will soon peek from the box to the east near Emma, leaving his head
vulnerable. A seventh is straight behind him, hiding from a further box.
The last soldier will charge from the left side. Shoot him down to finish
this level.
---------
Level 5
---------
Hmm…a mission in the dark. Equip your M9 and aim straight ahead. You will
see the thermal goggles of a soldier on the platform far above. Tranquilize
him by shooting at his head. Move forward a little bit, and aim at the
northeast upper platform. Another guard is up there.
Head to the east, following it north to arrive at some stairs leading up. Up
those stairs is another guard. Once 3 guards are tranquilized, move to the
northeast part of the level to find a passage leading into the next area and
the goal.
Lean against the wall before the passageway with the disappearing floor.
When you see a guard pass by, tranquilize him. Run past the disappearing
floors and stop. You should see a guard up ahead. Tranquilize him and
continue east to the goal.
---------
Level 6
---------
When you start, immediately run north and east, climbing up the blocks and
hopping off them at the end. Lean against the first column you come to. When
the creature nearest you turns his head to his right, run east and north,
crouching behind the low black wall.
Hide here until the creature ahead begins to roar and moan. As soon as you
hear the sound, stand up and run a little ways north, then east up the
stairs. Don’t stop running and continue up the second set of stairs, then
the third up to the roof.
Once on the roof, run east towards the gap and use Raiden’s torso-axial flip
to cross it. The goal is just ahead.
---------
Level 7
---------
One of my favorite Raiden missions, a little quite difficult to complete
until you get the hang of it.
<<Round 1: VS Soldier >>
Run around and collect all the boxes, then take care of him using the M9.
<<Round 2: VS Soldiers >>
Run right and collect the box, then up towards the Claymores. Lay one facing
to the west and wait east of it, behind the tall box with the ration. A
soldier will walk right into it. Equip the SOCOM and make your way to the
southwest, collecting the supplies.
A soldier will enter your side of the arena. Hide behind the box and pop out
from the west, shooting him on the head when he is reloading. Take out your
PSG1-T and take a few steps south from the southwestern large box, then face
north and up to take out the guard there. Then aim to the northeast.
There should be another guard peeking through the alcove below the northeast
balcony. Shoot him as well. There should be 2 more guards left, both near
the gap separating your side of the arena to theirs. Kill one of them, then
collect the rest of the supplies before killing the last one.
<<Round 3: VS Tengus and Soldiers>>
Head to the southwest box again, and collect the 2 boxes. Equip your HF
Blade and lean against the large box. Tengus will start jumping on top of
the box. For the sword users, remain leaned and they should jump down right
in front of you. Shred them to pieces.
For gun users, take out your SOCOM and shoot them down. Continue this
strategy until all Tengus have been taken out. Along the process, there
should also be a normal soldier shooting at you. Quickly deal with him and
continue leaning against the box. Your kill count should read 7.
Note : Raiden will sheathe or unsheathe his blade when you equip or unequip
his blade. This will take up valuable time and will get you hit in
the process. To prevent this, equip and/or unequip his blade while
leaning.
Take a few steps south and equip the PSG1-T again. This time, the guard is
on the northeast balcony. Put him to sleep. Another guard should be
attempting to rush you around this time.
Take care of him. Another guard will respawn in the northeast balcony, so
take him out the same way. After that one, yet another guard will respawn.
Another soldier will rush you. Take him out as well. The remaining 2 guards
should be easy to kill.
Remember to collect all the supplies before killing off the last guard.
<<Round 4: VS Gurlugon>>
Don’t worry, this guy’s easy to beat if you have at least a quarter of your
life bar left. As the round starts, lean against the tall box with the
Stinger. Gurlugon will freeze you with his attack and hit you with his eye
laser. The box should be destroyed.
See the Book? Lay it down, and stand right next to it. Let Gurlugon attack
you, and laugh when you watch him :)
