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. Ensure that Snake is constantly retreating
in order to avoid her hugging attack that drains both psyche and health.
During this segment, the Laughing Octapus doll will be availible on a bed,
as Snake stamina killed her as opposed to damage killing her.
-------------------
21. South America: Mountain Trail
-------------------
Immediately turn on the Solid Eye NV mode, and follow the trail of footprints
down the path. When the footprints split into multiple directions, follow
the left collection of footprints (the footprints are triangular. When
Snake reaches a bridge, go prone and slowly crawl across. There will be a
PMC soldier on the on the right side watching. On the other side of the
brdige, tehre will be another PMC soldier patrolling near the grass.
Knock him out and take his M60E4. Take the right trail when the footprints
split up again. Take out the sniper in the opening on top of the hill before
proceeding. Move around the hill and crawl through the grass. Use your solid
eye to locate the soldier through the fence, and shoot him in the head.
Take his Masterkey before proceeding to the river behind him. Across the
river, take the left path. At this point, Snake will start encountering
Haven Trooper, who are able to hear the sound that the Solid Eye's NV
mode makes. If the Haven Troopers hear Snake, quickly take them out.
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.
Tranquailse the Haven Trooper with the DSR-1 and take it from her.
Move up to the hill where she was lying use the Solid Eye to locate
the head of an enemy. Crawl foward and shoot the PMC. 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. CHASE SEQUENCE
-------------------
Despite what Otacon tells you, do not immediately use the machine gun
turret on top of Drebin's APC. 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. Right before reaching the helicopter,a
Gekko will guard the barrier between Snake and the helicopter. Roll
through the opening to avoid being hit by the Gekko.
==================
24. Act III "Third Sun"
==================
25. Mission Briefing
-------------------
Set up the Metal Gear Mark II as soon as the briefing starts. 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. At the top of the street wait around the corner while the resistance
member glances behind him. When he crosses the street and enters a large
doorway follow suit.
27. Eastern Europe: Midtown Central Sector
-------------------
Enter a crouch and move along the hedges until Snake reaches the end. The
resistance member will double back around the hedge. A PSS is behind the
construction block. Follow the resistance member as he leaves the area through
a different door.
28. Eastern Europe: Midtown S Sector
-------------------
Immediately go prone and watch as the resistance member goes into the park.
Follow him into the park and blend in with the grass. Tranquilize the two PMC
soldiers that enter the park and wait for the resistance member to move. When
the resistance member exits the park wait until he walks out of view before
following him down the stairs. Lie down in the middle of the street and wait
for octocamo to change. 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.

her grenade shots. After she has been hit a certain amount, she wil fly off.
Repeat the same process when she returns. Ensure that the Mosin is reloaded
everytime Raven leaves. If a beeping noise starts, run to the top of the
tower to avoid the attacks. There are v-rings and and iPod(R) track at the

look for her with the Solid Eye. Zoom in with the Mosin and shoot her while
she is lying down on the roof. After this event return to the initial stairway
landing and repeat this process until Raging Raven is defeated. If you do not
have time to reload the Mosin, then switch to the twin barrel.

==================
55. Items
==================

and supplies the wearer with a variety of tactical data. Open the item window
and press the square, triangle, and circle buttons to switch between modes.
A multi purpose goggle created by Otacon especially for this mission,
the Solid Eye combines the functions of a high-power monocular,
light amplifier, and infrared vision device into one package.
Also provides Snake with tactical data on target unit, organization,
and emotional state, as well as weapon names and types.
Projects images and symbols onto Snake's field of vision through an RSD
(Retinal Scanning Display) system.
Comments: One of the most useful items in MGS4. Unlike previous MGS games,
thermal goggles, nightvision goggles and binoculars aren't indivdual items,
but are all featured in various modes in the Solid Eye. Useful for locating
enemies and items in dark areas.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camera
A digital camera. Open the item window and press the circle button to switch
between 1P First Person and 2P modes. In 1P First Person mode, use the R1
button on the controller with port indicator 1 lit to take pictures. In 2P
mode, use the controller with port indicator 2 lit.
A single-lens reflex digital camera. The image receiver employs a low-power
consumptions CMOS module, and picture data is stored using a unique, ultra
high-compression system developed by Sunny herself. Equipped with
high-capacity flash memory for data storage. Photos taken can be
uploaded to Metal Gear Online's Community Support Page.
Comments: Players can use the camera to take screenshots of themselves in
game with the aid of a second controller (or assigning the first controller
to the second controller). They can also take takes pictures of the
environment in first person view.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metal Gear Mk.II
A remote mobile terminal that follows Snake around, providion mission support.
Equip it from the item window to enable manual control. Useful for sending
the gadget in Snake's place.
A remote mobile terminal that automatically tails Snake, providing mission
support and acting as a node on contact between Snake and Otacon. Has as an
internal cargo bay for transporting weapons and items, and a minipulator that
doubles as a shock prod for self-defense. Standard equiped with stealth camo.
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. In MGS4 online, the cardboard is
a useful tool for players to hide in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drum
A battered, rusty old oil drum. Equip it to hide inside. while equipped,
press the X button to fall to the side and roll around in the drum.
A standard-issue oil drum. this one loods pretty beat up, as if it's been
subjected to the elements for too long. with plenty of room for the average
adult to hide inside, it can be used as a disguise to fool enemies.
Comments: Like the cardboard box, hiding in the drum can will conceal
Snake from enemies. The drum can also allows Snake to roll inside,
letting him attack enemies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iPod(R)
A portable music player. Play stored songs and radio programs in place of the
default background music.
Comments: Although the clear in game advertising is very annoying, the
fact that the iPod lets players choose their own background music is a
very good idea. This also allows players to hear music from other Metal Gear
and Konami titles, as well as restoring some Psyche.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Signal Interceptor
A radio signal interceptor. when equipped, allows you to interceot radio
traffic from the PMC Raven Sword. Intercepting PMC radio traffic causes the
map screen to display areas where Resistance members are currently located.
A radio interceptor built with pride by Otacon. Intercepts the radio
communications of Raven Sword, the PMc assigned to Eastern Europe.
Handy for discerning the location of Resistance members.
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.
Comments: Like in other Metal Gear games, is completly useless for the most
part. (there aren't even any IR beams to use it on this time)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Muna
An herb native to South America. The smell helps you relax and feel at ease.
Restore Psyche faster by equipping it.
An herb native to South America. The locals use its odor to relieve the
symptoms of altitude sickness. Can also be brewed into a delicious tea.
Slightly increases Psyche restoration speed while equipped.
Comments: Useful for restoring Psyche faster.

A syringe that restores Psyche and suppresses nanomachine activity. Open the
item window and press the OK button to use. To use it on others, capture them
using CQC and then press the triangle button.
A pen-shaped syringe given to Snake by Naomi, Single-hand operation. Contains
a drug that temporarily suppresses nanomachine activity within the body.
Restores depleted Psyche in one burst, though abuse will dilute the drug's
effectiveness and harm the body with its severe side effects.
Comments: As a self administered item, it isn't particularly useful or
good for Snake. Use only in the Vamp boss fight (on Vamp himself), and the
Mantis boss fight (on Snake).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scanning Plug
A device that extracts SOP link data. Capture an enemy using CQC and press
the triangle button to access SOP link data and analyze other enemies linked
to the System.
A portable scanner that transmits local SOP link data to the Solid Eye by
scanning the nanomachine signal of individuals connected to the SOP domain.
Using it on a registrant enables you to see any and all enemies linked to SOP.
Comments: Play 10 hours of MGS4 online to get this item in Drebin's shop.
Useful for players who use CQC, althrough the Solid Eye can be used to locate
enemies with ease anyway.

in a day. A variety of menu choices are available, so as ato break up the
monotony of repetition. Restores Life and Psyche.
Comments: A Metal Gear staple, rations are used to heal Snake when he takes
damage. Having it equipped when Snake runs out of LIFE also automatically
restores his life at a cost of a single ration. An item that should be
found in most areas and on most enemies. This item should be constantly
in Snake's inventory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instant Noodles
Steaming hot cup of instant noodles. Simply add boiling water, let stand, and
enjoy? Restores Life a bit of Psyche, and warms the body when consumed. Open

press the OK Button to use.
A drug in the benzodiazepine family. Has anti-anxiety, anti-convulsive, and
muscle relaxant properties and is also used as a sedative and hypnotic. Binds
with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in the central nervous system,
increasing the ferequency of ion channel opening. This augments the efficacy
of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, resulting in the aforementioned
effects. Some snipers use it to reduce body tension and prevent hand tremors
while aiming. Temporarily prevents hands from trembling while sniping.
Comments: First used by Sniper Wolf in MGS1 while sniping, Pentazemine is
useful for reduce shaking while sniping if Psyche is low.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press the triangle button while aiming to use the iron sights. With the weapon
window open, press the circle button to change the type of ammo.
A 22-caliber automatic pistol often used in intelligence operations. The Ruger
is equipped with a built-in suppressor, and the bolt is locked in place while
firing, making it almost completely silent. However, as a single shot weapon,
it is unsuitable for rapid fire. Uses tranquilizer and emotion rounds. While
non-lethal it is a valuable tool for covert infiltration and no-kill
completions.
Comments: An excellent weapon due to the fact that it comes with a built in
laser and is silenced. Fires non-lethal rounds and emotion bullets. Useful
throughout the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operator
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45-caliber automatic pistol. Ready it with the L1 button, fire it with the R1
button. Equipped with a laser sight in the recoil spring guide. Press the
trianble button to use the iron sights.
A 45-caliber pistol custom made for Snake's mission. Comes equipped with a
laser sight and boasts enhanced stopping power. A flashlight can be attached
to the rail system on the frame, and the muzzle can be fitted with a custom
suppressor. Although somewhat difficult to fire in rapid succession, it
possesses excellent close-range stopping power and impact force.
Comments: The Operator intially comes silenced, although the suppressor will
break with frequent use. The rail on the bottom allows the mounting of a
flashlight. Appears to be customized, this gun is great to look at, although
it only perform medicorely. Features a 3 hole trigger and a ring hammer.
Possibly chosen due to the fact that it looked like Naked Snake's custom
M1911A1 from MGS3.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GSR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45-caliber automatic pistol. Ready it with the L1 button, fire it with the R1
button. Press the triangle button while aiming to use the sight.
A 45-caliber combat pistol. Among the many 1911 clones, this one is
distinguished by its unique appearance. Most of the parts are machined, which
improves the gun's overall performance and makes it highly durable. A rail is
attached to the bottom of the frame, allowing the user to attach a tactical
flashlight. Holds 8 rounds. While somewhat lacking in its rapid fire
capability, its powerful rounds make up for this make up for this shortcoming.
Comments: Slightly more powerful then the Operator, but cannot be silenced.
Like the Operator, can have a flashlight mounted to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five-seveN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pistol that fires the new 5.7mm rounds. Ready it with the L1 button, fire it
with the R1 button. Press the triangle button while aiming to use the sight.
An automatic pistol that uses 5.7mm x 28 rounds developed for the P90. Boasts
one of the highest penetrating powers of any pistol. The bullets tend to
maintain a high velocity, providing relatively high stopping power against
distant enemies. Carries a large 20-round magazine and has low recoil, making
it easy to use. Also used by Snake when he infiltrated Galuade. Its excellent
penetrative power makes it a useful weapon against enemies with heavy armor.
Comments: The large magazine makes this pistol one of the largest capacity
sidearms in the game. The 5.7mm x 28 rounds developed by FN are supposed to
be able to pentrate body armor. Carried by Haven Troopers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PMM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Medium automatic pistol. Fires 9mm x 18 rounds. Ready it with the L1 button,
fire it with the L1 button, fire it with the R1 button. Press the triangle

An easy-to-handle handgun with relatively low recoil.
Comments: Not particularly useful, though it appears to be somewhat rare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PSS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silenced pistol used for special operations. Ready it with the L1 button, fire
it with the R1 button. Press the triangle button while aiming to use the
sight.
A silenced pistol that uses a special type of soundless ammo. The piston is
located within the cartridge, trapping the firing gas inside. This makes the
ammo virtually silent and eliminates the ened for a suppresssor. 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

press the triangle button to switch between Semi Auto and Full Auto fire.
A machine pistol capable of full-auto fire at a blazing 1200 rounds per
minute. Although equipped with a compensator to suppress muzzle jump, to claim
that it is somewhat difficult to control in full-auto mode would be an
understatement. Uses 9mm x 19 ammo. Holds 33 rounds. Effective at taking down
an enemy at point-blank range.
Comments: An extremely useless automatic pistol. If used, make sure that
Semi Auto fire is on, as Full Auto fire is useless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

design favored by U.S. soldiers and comes with a high-performance laser aiming
module and specially developed suppressor. Holds 12 rounds. Proved
indispensable to Snake during his infilitration of Shadow Moses in 2005.
Maintains its high stopping power from medium range and has a slightly larger
magazine capacity than other weapons of the same caliber.
Comments: Although the SOCOM design would later lead to the popularity of the
USP Tacitcal and USP .45, the SOCOM was the basis for the design of the USP
family. Comes with it's unique LAM built in, and can be suppressed. Can
be found under the truck in Shadow Moses. Used by Snake during MGS1, and
Raiden during MGS2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rapid-fire performance, uses reduced charge ammo that provides just barely
enough pressure to fire. Naturally, this also results in relatively low
stopping power. Uses 9mm x 23 ammo. Holds 19 rounds. Easy to fire in rapid
succession and deliver shots in a tight spread.
Comments: A gun designed for IPSC based on the 2011 design, intended to be
futuristic versions of the 1911 design. Instead of firing .45 rounds, this
gun fires .38 rounds. The bullets richoet. Unlocked after completing the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D.E.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Large, 50-caliber automatic pistol. Ready it with the L1 button, fire it with
the R1 button. Press the triangle button while aiming to use the sight.
The world's most powerful automatic pistol, firing 50-caliber rounds. 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. Not particularly useful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the strangest dream... The world was enveloped in darkness. I looked all
about me, but there was no light... I was floating through the sky. Dark
clouds stretched out below me, and I could see no trace of land... But I heard
voices. Voices wailing in despair, screaming in fear. 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!
