As she does this back away to avoid being blinded. Occasionally she will launch flying bombs at the same time. She will also occasionally attempt to blend into the environment by appearing to be various objects such as machines, cardboard boxes, dummy manikins and paintings. V-rings are available under a desk in the lab. Halfway through her stamina she will attempt to imitate the Mk.II Metal Gear, Naomi Hunter, or a dead Haven Trooper. You will always be able to tell the difference by using the Solid Eye. If Octopus curls into a ball and attempts to roll into to as an attack, try to climb on top of a table or box. When her stamina has been depleted there will be a cutscene. After the cutscene, use the stun grenades and lob them in front of Laughing Beauty to stamina kill her easily.

Follow the triangular foot prints and occasionally turn on the Solid Eye for reference. Snake will reach a narrow path of rocks covered with grass before an archway made of stone. Tranqualize the Haven Trooper here, and move under the archway. Take out the PMC directly ahead setting the claymore. Crawl over the claymore to retrieve it. When the paths split again, ignore the hand prints and take the left foot print path. The paths will meet up in the end, however, the left path is easier to take.

Most of the footprints will now converge down a single path. Stun the PMC down this path and continue following the footprints between narrow rocks, and Otacon should send a message a message to Snake. When he does, that means that Snake is standing right beside the mine shaft where Naomi was taken. Enter the mine shaft to exit the area. 22.

Enter the weapons menu and equip the V ring Twin Barrel Shotgun. When Drebin stops the APC, take out the Twin Barrel and start blasting the zombie like PMCs. If any of them climb onto the APC, either use CQC or use the Twin Barrel on them. In the second area, when Drebin stops the APC, mount the machine gun turret and use it to kill the Gekko units only, but avoid hitting the PMC zombies. When Snake has killed enough Geckos in the way, Drebin will continue to drive. In the next area, when Drebin start complaing about an "MGS" (we assume this doesn't stand for Metal Gear Solid), shoot the turret on the enemy APC. When Drebin stops in front of a door, start shooting it with the machine gun, and do not stop until both doors have been demolished. After Drebin drives through the large doors, stay on the machine gun turret and start shooting at any Gekkos that get close to the APC. When the Gekkos start pursuing the APC, start blasting their legs to slow them down or destroy them. ------------------- 23. South America: MarketPlace ------------------- Immediately equip the rations and start running through the marketplace. Refer to the map to find the way.

This time, use the Mark 2 to shock Otacon, Dr. Naomi, and Sunny to individual FaceCamos. There are two different types of ammo in front of the helicopter, as well as iPod music beside the fridge on the second floor and a battery next to Sunny's bed. A compress is availible in the bathroom. The figures that Snake has collected throughout his missions can be seen on the shelf that holds the TV beside the radio table. 26. Eastern Europe: Midtown S Sector ------------------- Enter the camouflage menu and equip automatic octocamo and FaceCamo. Move forward done the street with the signal int equipped. A cutscene will play. After the cutscene go prone behind the van and wait for the resistance member to pass. Start crawling across the street after him. Be sure to keep some distance between Snake and the resistance member. Halfway down the street a PMC announcement will come over the speakers. Follow the resistance member as he crosses the street. When the resistance member nears a construction area run behind the construction block and tranquilize the PMC soldier in the middle of the street. Wait for the resistance member to go check out the body of the PMC soldier. Then follow him back the way he came ensuring that Snake is always in a crouch or crawling. The resistance member will walk up a set of stairs and climb onto a ledge. Follow him as he does this. When we jumps off the ledge, tranquilize the PMC on the ground. Drop down and follow the resistance member after he starts moving again. Pick up the PMC soldier's Mk.17.

When the resistance member moves to the top of the ramp, follow him through the parking lot. He will move done a set of stairs. Wait until he rounds the corner before moving down the stairs and blending in with the street. The resistance member will duck into a doorway. Wait until he moves again before moving up. The resistance member will stop in yet another doorway. Make sure that you do not follow too close. He will run into an archway that leads into a different part of town. Follow him when he does so. 29. Eastern Europe: Midtown NE Sector ------------------- Go prone in the middle of the street and blend in. Look to the left and the resistance member will cross the street by the van. Follow him when he does so. When the resistance member gets close to the spotlight, follow him at a safe distance but remain behind a car. When the resistance member is past the cars he will duck into a door way. Stay back while he checks behind him. When the resistance member continues he will try to walk behind two PMC soldiers. Tranquilize the soldiers so that the resistance member does not get caught. Take the stairs and get the ammo from the higher ground. Move down the stairs while crawling and the resistance member will walk right past Snake. Crawl forward to the van where there will be some .22 ammo. Follow the resistance member as he runs down the street into a different area. 30. Eastern Europe: Midtown N Sector ------------------- Run forward and hide in the doorway, and the resistance member will emerge in a PMC uniform. Run into the area he was just in for a compress and two rations on top of some boxes. Run back into the alley and follow the resistance member as he makes his way down the road. Tranquilize the two PMC soldiers standing beside the oil drum. Follow the resistance member as moves up a different street. Equip the Solid Eye in normal mode and tranquilize the real PMC soldiers in the group the resistance member joins. Follow the resistance member as he leaves the alley and walks onto the sidewalk. Watch as the resistance member crosses the street and follow him. Take the ration in the street if needed. There will be a box of grenades in the alley. Take them up and continue following the resistance member. Follow him across the street and immediately blend in with the wall. A vehicle patrol will return regularly. When it does, blend into the wall in a crouch to avoid being seen. At the end of this street the resistance member will change back into his normal clothes. Follow him as he heads to the door. A cutscene will start. 31. CHASE SEQUENCE ------------------- As soon as the chase starts, make sure that the Twin Barrel(V Ring) is equipped, long with the Mark 2 pistol. Start firing the Twin Barrel at the Haven Troopers and the PMC soldiers as they appear. If a Hummvee appears with a gunner on top, firing the Twin Barrel at the gunner. If a Haven Trooper jumps on top of the van, make it a priority to shoot her off as soon as possible. Ensure that Rations are equipped and that any PMC or Haven soldiers are blasted as soon as possible. When the cutscene at the bridge occurs, start using the Twin Barrel to shoot down the unnamed aircraft that swoop down and drop bombs. The V Rings should still be able to destroy the aircraft. Raging Raven can be shot at this point, but it won't affect her later on. When a truck appears with a gunner on top, shoot the gunner and the truck will vear off. A barricade of trucks will appear. Try and shoot the gunners if possible, but it is not important. Avoiding hitting the drums in order to avoid killing any of the frogs. ------------------- 32.

Sunny made considerable contributions to its creation demonstrating the full extent of her genius as an electronics engineer. Equipping allows Snake to manually operate it for ground reconnaissance. Comments: Although the MG MK. II is an excellent idea and can be a useful tool on occasion, it does not serve a purpose for most of the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cardboard Box An ordinary cardboard box. Equip to hide under box and hide from enemies. A generic cardboard box. It may look pedestrian but it's light, sturdy, and has a hundred and one uses -- how would we get by without them? A good cardboard box is a soldier's best friend -- having one handy can mean the difference between life and death. Comments: A Metal Gear staple, the cardboard box makes a return in MGS4, although it takes a backseat role in single player with the introduction of the new drum can item.

The drum can also allows Snake to roll inside, letting him attack enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPod(R) A portable music player.

Comments: Completly useless after the first few seconds of the Europe level, unless the player somehow loses their resistance member, in which case it's simply easier to start over rather then locate a new one. (SIGNAL INT. is similar to Signal Intelligence, what SIGINT stands for in MGS3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cigarettes Equip it to restore some Psyche. but be aware, smoking is hazardous to you health. Hand-rolled tobacco. Snakes's favorite. Contains 16mg tar. Its relaxing effect restores Psyche, but also reduces Life. smoking too much is hazardous to your health.

Although the PSS is amazingly quiet and easily concealed, it achieves its silence at the expense of performance, and the magazine size is a paltry 6 rounds. A handgun whose low noise makes it well-suited to stealth missions. Comments: This pistol has a built in silencer, like the MK.2, but has a low magazine capacity, and the ammo for this gun is extremely rare. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ G18C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9mm machine pistol with 33-round long magazine.

Bullets have nearly 3 times the initial energy of a 45-caliber rounds, and the gun's 26-cm length and 2 kilogram weight put it in a class of its own. Its gas pressure operating mechanism causes it to behave more like a rifle than a pistol. The standard barrel is 6 inches long, but a 10-inch long-barreled variation also exists. Holds 7 rounds. Has extremely strong recoil, but its sheer power is legendary. Comments: The Desert Eagle is the largest automatic handgun in the world, designed by for Israeli military operations. It's large size and unreliable operation, along with the heavy kick due to the weight of the slide, combined with the recoil, makes this an impractical choice of a pistol. In the game, it is used by Meryl.

The cruel laughter of some unseen villian. And... A voice... Calling my name! I covered my ears. All I could do was drift through the skies. What power did a tiny, insignificant creature like me have? But no matter how I tried, I couldn't shut the voice out. Who was it? Why was he calling me? I'm just Sunny... Tiny, insignificant Sunny... Then, suddenly, I felt the light... A faint flicker emanating from my body. And the words came to me... I don't remember where I heard them -- or when -- but they were warm and strong: "May the sun shine forever in our hearts!" And then it hit me. In this world, I was the sun! upon realizing this, my body began to overflow with light. It was so bright that I closed my eyes... ...And then, I was back in my bed. But I saw him. I know it. The moment I shielded my eyes against the light, I saw him -- the boy who was calling my name, standing on the earth. I saw his face, beaming brightly. And I saw the weapon he held up high -- the solar gun! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 58.

The ultimate hand-to-hand combat weapon, combining the lethality of a knife with the knock-out power of a stun gun. Comments: Snake's knife. Used in CQC. The stun feature is useful, although it takes a few seconds to charge after a few uses. Is not particularly helpful alone in the later parts of the game, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.It may not be placed on any web site or otherwise distributed publicly without advance written permission.
