05. BASICS
===============================================================================
These are the basics for Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance.
LIFE GAUGE: Your health bar. Once when it turns orange blood will flow
and little by little health will be reduced.
Your Life Gauge looks like this:
___________________________
[_LIFE______________________]
RADAR: The Radar display the player\'s surroundings.
These are the different types of RADAR:
ALERT MODE: The Radar cannot be displayed. This happens
when the player has been discovered by an enemy,
camera, or cypher. You will move to EVASION once
the red ALERT MODE bar reaches to zero.
EVASION MODE: The Radar cannot be displayed. This happens
during a Clearing or when an enemy is searching
for you. You will move to CAUTION once the orange
EVASION MODE bar reaches to zero.
CAUTION MODE: The Radar can be displayed in Caution mode. Occurs
when enemy soldiers are more vigilant than usual in
patrols. You will move to NORMAL mode once the green
CAUTION MODE bar reaches to zero.
JAMMING MODE: The Radar cannot be displayed. This happens when you
throw a CHAFF GRENADE. The CHAFF GRENADE will mess
up the signal. This means that cyphers, surveillance
cameras will not function properly. Also enemies
will not be able to use the radio to call for back up.
WEAPON EQUIPPED: Displays the weapon that is currently in use.
ITEM EQUIPPED: Displays the item that is currently in use.
GRIP GAUGE: Your GRIP bar. Once it reaches to zero you will no longer
be able to hang. To increase your Grip Gauge you must do
50 pull ups to increase to LEVEL 2 GRIP. To increase to
LEVEL 3 GRIP you must do 100. If you are in LEVEL 2 GRIP
just to 50 more pull ups and you\'ll increase to LEVEL 3 GRIP.
02 (OXYGEN) GAUGE: This is your oxygen bar. If it reaches to zero your
Life bar will begin to reduce. Pressing the action
button will decrease the rate at which the 02 gauge
diminishes.
BOSS LIFE GAUGE: Reduces as the boss receives damage.
BOSS STUN GAUGE: Reduces as the boss is hit by the M9 Tranquilizer
darts and punch/kick attacks.
(The Boss will die once the stun or life gauge is down to zero)
===============================================================================
06. WEAPONS
===============================================================================
Here is a list of all the weapons in the game.
M9 Tranquilizer: An M92F customized to fire tranquilizer darts, equipped
with a suppressor and laser sight.

light. Can attach supressor.

---RAIDEN---
By: Chris Escobar (Escobar4Life)
*SNEAKING*
Level 1:
This VR misson is easy. All you have to do is get to the goal. First you
go straight and lean to the left gapped wall. Then you will see the enemy
walking straight. As soon as he stops get to the goal!
Level 2:
Face to the left and walkstraight. Lean on the wall. As soon as the enemy

Level 4:
You will have 20 magazines. Use them to distract the enemy. Go right and stay
near the small wall so the enemy wont see you. Throw a magazine to the far
wall. He will be distracted. Now walk behind the enemy. He will not see you.
Now stop in between the 2 small walls. Wait until the right sided enemy turns
around and walk behind him. You should get to the goal.
Level 5:
Go straight and hang. You should see an enemy below. Drop down to knock down
the enemy. An enemy will walk by and get distracted. Now lean on the wall.
He might see you near the wall. If he does he will go near you. So he sees the
knocked enemy. He will go help him. Now continue walking and you should see a
metal floor. So you wont make any noise, do a diving somersault. You should
see another part of the metal floor. Now just do another somersault. And you
should get to the goal.
Level 6:
As soon as the enemy turns around do a somersault avoiding the noise making
floor. Now lean on the wall and wait for the enemy to turn around. Continue
straight and head right. Lean on the wall and wait for the enemy to turn
around. Go straight and do a somersault to avoid the metal floor. The enemy
around there wont notice you at all since he\'s asleep. Now walk slowly because
theres now a smaller peice of metal floor. As soon as the enemy in the east
turns around run and climb on the big step to get to the goal.
Level 7:
Start by opening one of the lockers near where you start by, then drag the
unconscious guard in the locker, then hide in the little corner you start at,
when a guard wanders by just stay there until he leaves. When the guard leaves
follow him rolling over the footprint platform, when he goes around the corner
stay on HIS left side when you get to the hall leading right go and run below
the guards sight and make a turn down, there will be a guard looking left
when he turns around follow him and stay on his left side and when he
turns right stay out of his sight while running to the goal, and your done.
Level 8:
In this VR Mission you have 2 weapons. A Socom and an M9. Switch to the socom
and take out the camera. You have the option to kill the enemy. But if you
kill the enemy, you wont get bonus points (no kill bonus). So use the M9 to
tranquilize him. Now that he is out of the picture lean to the wall. Because
there is an enemy walking on the upper level. Near you there is an enemy that
is gonna passby. Tranquilize him. Now watch out for a camera and destroy it.
Go forward and turn right. Becareful, there is an enemy nearby. Wait for him
to walk forward. Now go up the stairs and stun him while his back is turned.
Now get to the goal.
Level 9:
This is very easy. Get the box behind you. Wait until the guards back is
turned. Use the box and while the guards back is turned, go forward and
take a right. Now stay there until he turns around. Now go forward. Stay
near the wall. You should see the goal. Near the goal is an enemy and near
the wall you\'re at is also an enemy. Just wait until both of them turn around
to get to the goal.
Level 10:
This is also an easy one. Go straight. Climb on the box and continue to the
stairs. Now lean on the gap of the wall. Wait for the enemy to pass by. Now
go straight and use hanging mode to drop down to be in the lower level. Now
go straight and lean on the wall. Now face forward the gap of the wall and
throw a magazine straight up forward. Either the left side or the right side
enemy will be distracted and the other enemy will walk forward. Now this is
your chance to get to the goal.
*SNEAKING MODE-ELIMINATE ALL*
Now these are similar to Sneaking mode. But now you have to Eliminate them.
You can eliminate them by either killing the enemies or tranquilizing them.
Remember, tranquilizing the enemies will give you \"No-Kill\" bonus points!
Level 1:
This mission is easy. There is only 1 guard. Get the M9 behind you and go
forward. Now if you want, you can lean on the gap of the wall and take out
the enemy when he\'s done walking. Or you can just freeze and tranquilize
the enemy when your near the wall. Now head to the goal!
Level 2:
Use First Person View to aim well. You should see an M9 near a guard.
Just wait until he leaves and get the M9. Once you got it, you should see
an enemy walk pass you. He wont see you. Just tranquilize him and turn
around to tranquilze the other guard. Now walk forward and you should see
an enemy in the left, tranquilize him and get to the goal.

Now get to the goal.
Level 5:
First get the M9. Now shoot the enemy nearby. Now go back where you started.
You should see a guard on the lower level. He should walk forward and then
backward. Wait for him to face your direction so you can use hanging mode and
jump down on him. By doing this you will knock out the enemy. Now go east and
wait for the guard to continue walking. He should stop. Shoot him. Now shoot
the guard on the west and shoot the guard on the upper level. And get to the
goal.
Level 6:
You should see the M9 on top of the wall. Climb on the big steps and get the
M9. The guards should\'nt see you because they are on the lower level. Take
out the two guards nearby. Now jump down from the wall and go east. Then go
North, you should see an enemy sleeping in his job. Just freeze him and
tranquilize him. Now go north and take a right. Take out the enemy nearby and
