| Let me just start with the words "great game." You may find a lot of "duh"
| info in here, but it's better to have it than not. I've put more work into
| this than any other guide I've done (even though I haven't done many). This
| guide has about everything you need for the game and so far only has a few
| tiny holes that will fill in shortly. That's only due to the fact that the
| information in here has to be accurate. FYI, all directions (North, South,
| South-East, etc.) are abbreviated (N, S, SE). Also, the guide may contain a
| few teenie weenie spoilers. I said "teenie weenie." Relax.
|
| The game is actually a prequel to the first two Metal Gear Solid games,
| taking place in 1964 just after the Cuban missile crisis over the course of
| just two weeks. Your codename is Naked Snake; you had been sent on a mission
| in Russia to rescue a scientist deep within the jungle. If successful, the
| FOX organization might have become a recognized branch of U.S. defense. But
| during the mission something went haywire. An American Davy Crockett
| portabile missile system had been stolen and the anti-government Breznhev
| faction used it to demolish a key military research facility. The Russian
| leader Khruschev blamed the US, on the grounds that A: it was an American-
| made missile system and B: a U.S. aircraft signature was reported over
| Russian airspace about an hour prior to the event. If proof of innocence is
| not presented within a week, Russia will unleash a full-scale nuclear
| holocaust on the United States. What, specifically, did Khruschev have in
| mind? The destruction of the U.S. defectant deemed responsible for the whole
| catastrophe--The Boss.

|��������������
| HEALTH/STAMINA
| Your Health is the upper bar in the top left section of the screen. Your
| current health slowly regenerates at a rate determined by your Stamina (the
| bar below it). Your maximum Health also increases very slowly as you play.
| If you run out of health, Snake dies. You can also regain health by using a
| Life Medicine.
|
| + Tip: it's better to wait for Health to recover by itself if possible, since
| Life Medicine supplies are extemely limited throughout the game.
|
| Stamina governs a couple concepts of the game: 1) How fast your Health
| recovers, and 2) your aiming accuracy. Stamina decreases very slowly over
| time, but the decay can be sped up by actions like running, swimming, and
| especially wounds and diseases. The speed at which stamina is lost through
| movement has to do with the total weight equipped between weapons and items.
| Stamina may be regained by eating, and is also affected in various ways by
| some camouflage uniforms' effects.
|
| CQC
| o Tap repeatedly for combo attack + knockdown
| o With Left Analog Stick pressed in a direction, hit Circle to throw down
| enemy and render him unconscious
| o With Left Analog Stick neutral, hold Circle to put enemy in chokehold. From
| chokehold:
| - Use Left Analog Stick to drag enemy around
| - Press L3 to interrogate enemy
| - Firmly press Circle to slit enemy's throat
| - Press Square to use equipped weapon while using enemy as a shield
| - Tap Circle repeatedly to choke the enemy and knock him out
| - Keep tapping Circle after he's unconscious to break his neck and kill him
| - Use Left Analog Stick + Circle to throw enemy to the ground (won't KO)
| + Tip: draw your gun when he's on the ground to hold him up
|
| TRANQUILIZING
| By using the Mk22, you are able to knock out an enemy for a short period of
| time. The speed at which the tranquilizer takes effect depends on the
| placement of the darts and number of the darts. Getting a head or neckshot
| will instantly drop them. Shooting them in the torso will take several
| seconds to kick in, and shooting an appendage takes a very long time. If the
| target does not go to sleep immediately, more tranquilizers can speed up the
| process. They may also prolong the sleeping period, since after a little
| while guards will begin to wake up. This takes several minutes at the least,
| so even moving through an area very slowly should pose no problems.
|
| Dogs might awake if you go near them after they have been subdued. It's
| better off to just kill the dogs. What the FCC don't know won't hurt em.
|
| SHOOTING SOLDIERS
| Like when tranquilizing, a well-aimed bullet can kill in one blow to the
| head. Chest shots take a few more hits, and arm/leg shots take even more
| bullets. Additionally, hitting a soldier in their right arm will make them
| drop their weapon, often resulting in their drawing a handgun if the arm is
| not rendered useless. Shooting them directly in their radio near the left
| shoulder will break it, preventing both incoming and outgoing calls. Even if
| you cannot afford to kill anyone, using a lethal weapon to disable radio and
| remove their weapon will not kill them but instead give you a greater
| advantage.
|
| INTRUSION VIEW
| Automatically engaged when crawling through thick grass and leaves and places
| you can only travel through by crawling. You will be in FPV but without
| restricted movement. You can enter FPV normally by pressing R1. Intrusion
| view will cancel when you leave the covering or stand up.
|
| CAMOUFLAGE
| Your Camo Index is at the top right of the screen. This shows the % of your
| camouflaged-ness. Obviously the bigger the number the more hidden you are.
| Choose the right camo and face paint for every environment you stay in for an
| extended period. This means changing it often. There is a huge variety of
| camoflauge and its uses. See the camouflage section for all their locations
| and effects.
|
| HOLD UP
| Draw your gun from behind an enemy or in close proximity to one without his
| seeing you to hold him up. He won't make any moves as long as it's aiming
| towards him. You can hold an enemy up in FPV or out of it.
|
| CURE
| Wounds restrict your maximum HP based on how many and to what extent your
| injuries are. Telltale signs of an injury or sickness are bleeding, rapid
| stamina loss, and the obvious red bar at the top of the screen. Injuries heal
| slowly over time but can be cured partially or wholly by using either a
| combination of or all the surgical items for each ailment.
|
| o Broken Bone: Splint + Bandage
| o Cut: Styptic + Disinfectant + Suture Kit + Bandage
| o Gunshot Wound: Knife + Styptic + Disinfectant + Bandage
| o Burn: Ointment + Bandage
| o Leech: Cigar
| o Bullet Bee: Knife + Styptic + Disinfectant
| o Arrow Bolt: Knife + Styptic + Bandage
| o Hypodermic Needle: Knife
| o (The medicinal cures are self-explanatory)
|
| + Tip: at the very least, extract all bullets with the knife, since you can't
| run out of that surgical item.
|
| FOOD
| Man's gotta eat. Eat to regain lost stamina. You can either find food on
| guards occasionally or lying around encampments, but most of the time you'll
| have to hunt for your food. By killing your food, it will spoil over time.
| If food is tranquilized, it will never spoil, obviously due to the fact that
| it is still alive. However, you only have 3 cages to keep small animals in
| but many more spots for killed (rationed) animals. Some large animals such
| as Indian Gaviels and Markhors cannot be caged and therefore must be shot.
| The time it takes for each food to rot depends on the type of food (i.e.:
| meat spoils faster than plants)
|
| ALERT
| There are 4 stages of an alert: no alert, caution, evasion, and alert. The
| current alert status is displayed if there is any, and the counter shown
| counts down to the next stage of alert.
| o Alert Mode
| - Activated if directly spotted by the enemy
| - Enemies know where you are
| - Additional enemies will come as long as the alert is active, up to a
| certain point
| - Counter goes down when you are completely out of sight (speed is
| determined by the distance between you and the nearsest enemy)
| - Counter disappears completely when all enemies that know of your presence
| are gone
|
| o Evasion Mode
| - Activated by cancellation of Evasion mode
| - Enemies don't know where you are but are more alert than usual and
| patrol more aggressively
| - No more enemies will come as long as this mode is active
| - Counter goes down if you stay out of sight (speed " ")
| - Counter disappears completely when all enemies are gone
|
| o Caution Mode
| - Activated either by cancellation of Evasion mode, if an enemy hears
| gunfire or is hit and not dropped, or if an unconscious soldier who knows
| you are here is woken up, but didn't necessarily spot you
| - Enemies may or may not increase in number, based on radio call status
| - Enemies are slightly more alert than usual
| - Counter goes down if you stay out of sight (speed " ")
| - Counter disappears completely when all enemies that know of your presence
| are gone
|
| RADIO
| A radio call for support has different effects depending on the situation.
| There are three types of radio calls:
| o Alert Call
| - If radio call is completed on alert mode, enemies will keep coming
| until no more can be spared
| - If radio call is interrupted, support group comes
|
| o Caution Call
| - If radio call is completed, caution mode is activated, and may or may
| not request support group
| - If radio call is interrupted, support group comes
|
| o Support Call
| - If radio call is completed, support group comes and may or may not
| activate caution mode
| - If radio call is interrupted, support group may or may not come
|
| + If a call is "interrupted," the soldier was taken out somewhere between
| opening the call and completing it
|
| This seems like really vague information, but in reality the effects of all
| radio calls are hard to predict. It's also hard to determine whether or not a
| call in no alert mode will be a caution or support call, but every radio call
| completed in alert mode will produce many enemies. Therefore, it is possible
| to enter alert mode and, if all witness guards are removed before the link
| has been opened, alert mode will cancel. Also, leaving the area will not
| affect the alert status, but it will nullify all support calls made. If
| chaff grenades, for example, are used before the link is opened, the call
| doesn't count.

| These are the following things you should consider before starting a new
| game.
|
| //DIFFICULTY
|
| VERY EASY
| Extremely dense guards that are few in number. Free use of the EZ gun from
| the start, where Camo Index stays at 80% regardless of anything and has
| unlimited ammunition, although it has a one-bullet feed capacity. Maximum
| ammo for weapons is on average 2x that of normal difficulty. Health starts at
| about 75% and recovers quickly.
|
| EASY
| Slightly more alert guards and a few more in number as compared to very easy.
| EZ gun no longer available. Max ammo and health are the same as very easy.
|
| NORMAL
| Average (game difficulty-wise) guards, numbers, and ammunition. Health starts
| at about 50%.
|
| HARD
| Guards are more aware, greater in number, and maximum ammo is about 1/2 that
| of normal. Health is the same as normal.
|
| EXTREME (play through once to unlock)
| Guards are completely aware and are very numerous. Maximum ammo is about the
| same as hard, but health starts at about 25%.
|
|
| //REWARDS
|
| Your status of time taken, alerts set off, people killed, etc. is constantly
| being recorded throughout your adventure. Depending on what kind of
| credentials you meet, you may get rewarded with several valuable items. Jump
| to the Post Game section if you're aiming for a certain reward, but for the
| first time playing it's best to not worry about these things and just enjoy
| the story. And you can easily replay this, seeing as the game itself isn't
| too long.

| After the radio call, it's time to experience your first encounter with the
| dull, unsuspecting USSR soldiers of MGS3. Before you head N to engage them,
| go W to a little side-area and pick up the SVD sniper rifle, your first
| lethal weapon. Equip it from your Backpack in the Survival Viewer (Start).
| Instructions are shown in the weapons window (R2) on operating it when the
| gun is selected and the menu is open. It's best to go ahead and sneak around
| and/or silently remove guards (this is crucial to success on higher
| difficulties), but sometimes you might just have to face them. Remember that
| if you hear a guard say "Who's that?" or something similar, first of all
| don't move, crouch down, and keep unloading on him if you see him walking
| towards you until he drops. If he doesn't move, he'll eventually say
| something along the lines of "I must be seeing things" to let you know when
| you're in the clear.
|
| + Look over the Basics section for more information on dealing with soldiers.
|
| When shooting at any and everybody in this game, always aim for the head. If
| you're using a lethal weapon, a headshot will take them out in one hit. The
| same applies to tranqs. But when using bullets, shooting someone in the arm,
| leg, or chest once won't kill them. You can, however, knock out anyone with
| an arm, leg, or chest shot with tranq darts; it just takes longer than the
| headshot to kick in. You can go around collecting the items listed above,
| but at this point in the game they're not at all crucial to survival.
|
| + Tip: try picking up bodies with Square. The fallen guards may drop various
| supplies when picked up.

|
| If you're up to it, hang onto the left side at the N end of the bridge by

| (Triangle), climb up (Triangle), and grab the XM16E1, M22 ammo, and a little
| something called Pentazemin, a suppressant that steadies your hands--ideal
| for sniping. If you're not oh so daring, shoot down the other hornet nest to
| the N if the guards are still there. Go around to the left and down the path
| to the cave. Go N when you're ready.
|
| + Tip: if you let a body drop off the bridge, then yes, Einstein, it does
| count as a kill if they're not dead already. So does pushing unconscious
| bodies into water, for future reference.

| * Guard positions here are relative and they will have greater patrol sweeps
| here than usual
|
| The best way of going about this without raising any alarms is to shoot the
| deusch (doosh?) directly in front of you with the Mk22 (the XM16 is too noisy
| now; if you want to use it get the SP at the top of the stairs first). Grab
| the M37 after you've popped the guard behind him near the bottom of the
| stairs by the boxes. The shotgun is more fun than anything but is forbidden
| if you don't want any alerts on your record. Move E along the fence and
| remove the guard on the E side of the building. Climb up the ladder, and at
| the top, shoot any potential problems in the neck before jumping onto the
| deck below and getting the Life Medicine if you need it before approaching
| the door. This is the first PONR (point of no return) of a handful to come.
| Of course, this doesn't really matter since there's nothing of significance
| here you can miss anyhow.

| The Boss just blew up your ride and f'n broke your gun (that's not all, you
| had a pantload of suppressors with you!). What a bitch! First things first,
| get down and hide. Guards are gonna come runnin when they see that mess you
| made. Lay down beside the N passage and wait until they investigate the
| crash. You can sneak by them, which will eventually raise a caution alert, or
| you can throw a stun grenade at them before they call in to HQ for smooth
| sailing. From there, go to the W fork and crawl between the sentries using
| the grass and other obstacles as cover. Taking them on here isn't a smart
| idea with only your knife and grenades, but if you simply can't resist, who
| am I to say no?

| Same ol, same ol, we're back at the bridge. It seems like Kojima compensated
| for your lost gun by making the guards blind and deaf. Either way, you can
| literally run up behind the guy on the bridge before taking him out with a
| CQC throw--that is, if you don't fall off the bridge. After you do, drop off
| the side near the end to get to the cave underneath (or crawl around to it).
| Under there is the Raindrop uniform, Life Med, and some smoke grenades. Watch
| out for the guy patrolling the path to the cave. If you fell down, you have
| the advantage of taking him out from behind (assuming he's facing N).
|
| RASSVET II
| Rest assured, this place is devoid of enemies. Grab the smoke grenades to the
| NW, AK-47 up the stairs, the bug juice on the E side, Zombie face paint
| behind the warehouse, and the cardboard box atop the crates. If you've got
| some free time, keep calling Sigint with the box on. Once you squeeze a
| reaction out of him, call him with anything else you fancy equipped. In the
| room S of Sokolov's there's a Mine Detector in the SE corner. Enter Sokolov's
| quarters, open the locker to the SW, Thermal Goggles are inside. What, did
| you actually expect him to still be there? Exit.
|
| + Tip: if you're unsure about any camouflage just call Sigint when you put
| it on. He'll also tell you the details of and possibly the history behind
| any weapons you have equipped.

| The guards outside are ready to kick your ass. That is, if they can find it.
| The only way to go through with this is to immediately go under the bed and
| have stun grenades ready. Toss one immediately when the door opens. If that
| doesn't knock out 4 guards, keep tossing them (not all at once) until you're
| stuck with 4 less enemies. From there, go down through the trap door in the
| corner (Triangle) and shoot the guards on the E side and the one right in
| front of the opening due S of you. You'll probably make several leg shots
| that will take several seconds to get the job done. Don't bother wasting your
| suppressor here, it won't do anything. Make your way to the E side and find
| a spot where you can safely take the roofer out. Climbing up the ladder
| without his seeing you is doable, but tricky. Either way, taking out the few
| guards left from the roof is usually easy pickins with the exceptions of the
| stragglers on the W sector of the complex. Once all of them have been
| disposed of, raid the bodies for loot and go to the NE sector to initiate a
| cutscene.

| Walk on to Chyornyj Prud.
|
| CHYORNYJ PRUD
| This place is guard-free too. All you have to worry about are those damn
| leeches and crocs. You'll pick up a leech every couple strokes in the water
| without your bug spray on. You'll have to burn every single last prick off
| with a cig in the Cure menu if you don't. Once in the water, swim underneath
| the submerged log to the left, turning any croc that comes within 100 feet
| of you into swiss cheese (yes, you can use guns underwater...). On land
| you'll get a call from EVA. Blah Blah. Climb the tree and hang from the
| branch. Work your way across the tightline until you come to another rope
| underneath you. Drop down and catch it, then continue onto the island to
| receive your honorary croc club hat. Really useful later on. Afterwards, go
| to the next area through either exit; they both lead to the same place.
|
| BOLSHAYA PAST SOUTH
| There are two guards up front, which you should be able to drop no problemo
| without crossing to the other side of the fence. Shooting the transformers on
| either end of the fence will disable the electric current for those of you
| that can't help not running into it. If you see Claymores on the ground (the
| small boxes; use thermals if you can't see them), just crawl over them to
| pick them up. Now, STEPPING on one is a whole other story. On top of
| receiving damage as well as nasty burns, it'll trigger a caution alert. Now
| onto doggy style. Shoot out any dogs you see from here on, whether they're
| sleeping or not. They'll bring attention to you if you go anywhere near them.
| They'll also find you anywhere if they've picked up your scent; camo doesn't
| do any good. Sometimes the guards nearby will hear the death whine of a dog
| you shot and go to check on Sparky. Pop em. Make your way E to the mud and
| disable the guard you see halfway through. Step on the small ledge on the
| right and at the end of it is the Splitter camo uniform. Shoot anyone else
| visible from that point. Continue N to d-bo the Choco Chip uniform from the
| hollowed stump past the fence, and head up the NW path to exit.
|
| BOLSHAYA PAST BASE
| Jump inside the trench and crawl around, picking up the Snow face paint along
| the way. Head over to the large building, taking out every guard that comes
| within sight of the trench, and climb up to the roof to receive the Water
| uniform. There are a lot of guards to take out here; only take out the ones
| with a clear view of the trench. But if you get lucky, the guards will keep
| checking on the ones on the ground, allowing you to claim about half the camp
| from one spot. Once you meet a guy at the N mounted machine gun, hold him at
| gunpoint or whatever game you want to play with him before removing him. Yes,
| those big beautiful guns look tempting but so much as one bullet fired will
| raise an alarm if anybody's still up and about. Either exit the area, or if
| you want to take the time to explore the buildings you'll an M19 SP in the
| main building, food and a mousetrap in the one N of it, and ammo, grenades,
| and TNT in the NE armory. Otherwise, move on.
|
| + Tip: if you engage the enemy here or anywhere else, blowing up armories
| like the one in the NE corner here will severely limit their firepower and
| thus inflict less damage to your person. Blow them up either with the
| machine gun or TNT you found. It should only take about 2 or 3 explosives to
| ignite the building.

| BOSS BATTLE: OCELOT
|
| + Tip: always remember to take off suppressors during boss battles
|
| o Stalling him:
| - Shoot his hat off
| - Shoot down a local wasp nest
| - Walk to the N edge of the stage to initiate a quick-draw duel
| o Ammo is mainly in SE corner; WP grenades are on top of tree
|
| Welcome to your first boss battle of the game. Camouflage does nothing here,
| you ninny. The only thing keeping you safe from his bullets are trees, rocks,
| and woodland creatures, although you can still get hit anywhere with
| ricochet. The techniques used to beat him couldn't be any more basic--just
| shoot him when he peeks his head out and when he decides to reload in the
| open. On higher difficulties you'll need to take cover from his shots.
| Ducking behind the rock on the left is usually the best choice. But on normal
| and easier you can just stand still and take it if you're not a horrible
| shot. He can't hide if you're on top of the tree branch, but keep in mind
| that shooting from there makes you an easy target as well. Only try this if
| you have excellent accuracy--if you shoot him first you won't be hit.
| Defeating him non-lethally (depleting his stamina rather than his life) will
| earn you an Animals camo uniform. It's similar to the Choco Chip but has even
| better coverage and grants non-shaky hands when holding a gun, regardless of
| stamina position. A camo well worth the effort.
|
| - Cutscene: OFF, Anyone? -
|
| CHYOMAYA PESCHERA BRANCH
| You've passed another PONR. Don't forget to pick up your Animals uniform if
| you defeated Ocelot with tranqs (first time playing I did it by accident
| thinking I had my M19 out). Light up a cigar and take first the right path,
| then left. Continue on to reach 2 waterfalls. Between them is a box
| containing a torch. Equip it and light it to actually see. You can also use
| it as a weapon (more entertainment than functional) to light the enemy
| ablaze. Backtrack a little and go E. Go through the crawlspace you come to,
| from there it's pretty much one direction. Just don't jump off any ledges.
|
| CHYOMAYA PESCHERA CAVE
| At the fork in the beginning, go right and enter the surprisingly roomy
| crawlspace after picking up the M37 shotgun and Mk22 ammo. Gut any tasty
| critters you see along the way. Upon reaching the roof extension, grab the
| Snow uniform and continue crawling. Nab some smoke grenades and meet up with
| The Pain.
|
| BOSS BATTLE: HORNET SOLDIER - THE PAIN
| o Attacks:
| - hornet armor (invincible)
| - hornet sting
| - grenade
| - hornet suit (you're immobilized)
| - tommy gun
| - bullet bee
| o Ammo is on the rocks, grenades are in water.
|
| The Pain is a kindly fellow at heart but can be pretty mean and bumpy to
| strangers. This is a fairly easy fight, seeing as he absolutely doesn't move
| the entire time. To start, simply pelt him in the noggin with your weapon of
| choice. After a few he'll enter annoying buzzy Hornet Armor mode--all attacks
| are neutralized. Throw any grenade (besides chaff or smoke, brainiac)
| somewhere near him to blow it off, then continue to plug the bug. If you
| throw a grenade with his armor off he may catch it and throw it back--be
| ready for that. Continue this until he starts dishin shit back with his
| hornets, at which point you should dive into the water. He'll also whip out
| his tommy for you (oh! so big!). You can either throw a grenade the second
| he shouts out "Tommy Gun" or dive into the water for safety (lucky you--this
| is a Japanese game; all the characters shout out their attacks before using
| them). When in the water, you can occasionally pop up to shoot him, but you
| can't grenade him too well. Climb back up on any rock when it's safe. When
| you've got him down to 1/2 health or stamina he'll launch his bullet bees
| (seen with red trails) which take off a serious amount of health. They can be
| easily avoided when seen coming towards you with a dip in the lake. I'll say
| it once more, just grenade, shoot, dive, grenade, shoot, dive, or whatever.
|
| Afterwards, step onto the thin ledge to the right of the exit, and at the top
| roll onto the middle platform The Pain's camo is on if you tranqed him. This
| grants you dominion over bugs and other various creepy crawlies. If you flat
| out squashed him with bullets, no camo for you.
|
| CHYOMAYA PESCHERA CAVE ENTRANCE
|
| - Cutscene: Search Party -
|
| Nothing much here. You'll find some D-Meds from the fruits lying around at
| the beginning. You'll also find some ammo for the Mk22, M19, and AK-47. Just
| watch out for the Claymores near it. Afterwards, walk on through.
|
| PONIZOVJE SOUTH
| Now would be a great time to try on that handy dandy Croc Cap. When swimming,
| you're invisible with the Croc Cap is on, regardless of camo. Even if you're
| standing up when a searchlight passes onto you, crouch down quickly and go
| about your bisnass. About halfway through, pick up some chaffies underwater
| and head W.
|
| PONIZOVJE WEST
| Take out the guards from the water before climbing to the pier. Easy as cake.
| Inside the room is an SVD sniper rifle, TNT, grenades, and ammo. Backtrack.
|

| Swim north to the warehouse with your Croc Cap still on.
|
| PONIZOVJE WAREHOUSE: EXTERIOR
|
| - Cutscene: Russian Roulette -
|
| There are 3 guards here which pose no problem. For some reason your Croc Cap
| works here too. Once they're limp, step onto the barges to collect AK-47 and
| Mk22 ammo and stun grenades. Behind the crates you'll find some Night Vision
| Goggles.
|
| PONIZOVJE WAREHOUSE
| There are 3 guards here, too: one at the bottom of the small stairs, one
| patrolling the far crates, and one near the top of the larger staircase.
| Knock out the first two and you can take the third out from the left wall by
| moving very slowly. Make sure backup doesn't come. Grab the Desert face paint
| behind some boxes to the S. Pick up a Mk22 SP pack atop the stack of boxes by
| jumping over the rail above it. Behind the door halfway up the tall stairs is
| some Noodles, a Calorie Mate, and a mousetrap. Skeedaddle.
|
| GRANINY GORKI SOUTH
| Here you'll find a lot of bad eats, but you will find a few Instant Noodles
| spread about and a book (Japanese spread models; not exactly my taste but
| still entertaining. You can throw those about to distract guards if you can
| bear to part with them. The rope-triggered traps here you can crawl under or
| roll over, and snare traps--the ones that pick you up and dangle you by your
| feet--can be disarmed by pressing Triangle. Pitfalls can be ran over, just
| don't stop. Whatever you do, do NOT stop or de good Lawd have amussy on your
| soul. All traps can easily be seen with Thermal Goggles, strangely. Don't
| bother disarming any traps here, they'll just be reset by the time you
| revisit here.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB EXTERIOR: OUTSIDE WALLS
| Kill the dog first and then you can easily take out the other guards. Crawl
| through the hole in the fence to the far left. Once you're sure everybody's
| takin a break (by that I meant they're dead, etc.), pick up an M19 SP on the
| W wall. The crawlspace below you is quicker but the other way's easier. If
| you go to the E side, you'll find a door. Locked. No problem, just ask
| somebody to let you in. Put your back up against the door and knock on it
| with Circle. Then, play a little ding dong ditch by diving into the grass on
| your right. Shoot him when he opens the door. Sucka.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB EXTERIOR: INSIDE WALLS
| If you went through the door, crawl along the outside wall to reach the grass
| patch right in front of the door (not the big doors, the smaller one to the
| right). There should be a guard patrolling the area. Pop him. There are also
| a few walking around way on the other side of the area. These are the guards
| you'll see up close if you went through the crawlspace. Take them out either
| way. Head to the NE armory to find TNT and M19, M37, and AK-47 ammo and the
| badass XM16E1. Exit the shack and you'll find some claymores and smoke g's on
| the back of the W wall past the guards. Go about halfway down the wall and
| you'll find a crawlspace to enter the lab. You'll get the Oyama face paint
| crawling through the vent or you can just go through the front door. If you
| already have the face paint, or don't want it (it's pretty much useless not
| to mention the dumbest-looking), go through the door; it's quicker.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB 1F
| Crawl through the ducts and pick up the Oyama face paint. Keep going until
| you reach the courtyard. To not make trouble with any guards, if you run into
| them, look them in the eye when they yell at you. Leave when they tell you
| to. And don't do anything obvious that would get you shot at. Also, don't let
| any scientists see your face. If they look at you, turn your back and run.
| If you need some supplies, head downstairs to B1 East. If not, head upstairs
| to 2F. If you came through the door and don't need anything, just head
| through the lobby to the N and go to B1 West.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB B1 EAST
| In the guard's office you'll find Mk22 bullets and some Antitodes. Under his
| desk is M19 and M37 ammo. Go to the end of the hall and into the 2nd prison
| cell. When no one's looking, crawl under the bed to pick up a Life Med.
| There's nothing in the ducts. A mousetrap is in the 3rd cell. When you're
| done snooping head back up the stairs.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB 1F
| Keep going upstairs.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB 2F
| Go N. In the first door you'll find a Mk22 SP. In the 2nd you'll find the
| bathroom. Notice the last stall is locked. When no one is around punch the
| shit out of the door. It'll pop off (and possibly crush you in the process)
| and inside is the Fly camo. Sweet! Awesome! Idiot! In the hall, go to the end
| and check the first two lockers on the left to find XM16 and AK-47 ammo. Go
| through the door if you didn't pick up the Choco Chip uniform in Bolshaya
| Past South. Else, go back and head SW. In the next door you come to a Calorie
| Mate and two Instant Noodles are laying around. In the last door you'll find
| another balcony. Here you'll find a book. That's everything on the 2F. You
| can drop off the balcony for fun or go back down the stairs. Either way is
| fairly safe.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB 1F
| Go S and in the 3rd locker you'll find some M19 bullets. Go into the
| library--the door across from the lockers--and pick up Med supplies. Be
| careful of the scientist. Here, I think it's easier to just KO throw him from
| behind with your labcoat off, but only if it's mono-e-mono. No one else can
| see you. If you removed the outfit, put it back on and exit. Move W, N, then
| W through the lobby and down the stairs to B1 West.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB B1 WEST
| Go in the door on your right and the end of the hallway to pick up the Cigar
| Gas Spray. This is really the only weapon you can use as a scientist, plus
| it's non-lethal. Exit and go into the door across the hall. There's another
| science nerd in here too. Why not try out that neato gas spray you just
| picked up? Go into the next room, stepping over the science geek's limp body.
| Here, just avoid them rather than try to knock them out. There's a battery
| right when you walk in. Continue on to meet up with your objective.
|
| - Cutscene: Nice Shoes / Philosopher's Legacy -
|
| Now make your way through to the stairs. Easy as it was walking in.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB 1F
| Run through the computer area. In the room after that, immediately use the
| Cig Spray after opening the door. Then, just go back to the duct. It's a lot
| easier to leave through there than it is the front door.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB EXTERIOR: INSIDE WALLS
| Take your scientist coat off and for Pete's sake smear something on your
| face. Do the same thing you did before, only backwards. Take out all the
| guards then exit through the hole to the SW.
|
| GRANINY GORKI LAB EXTERIOR: OUTSIDE WALLS
| Same goes for here, too. Nothing's changed. Take out any guards you see and
| prepare for a fight.
|
| GRANINY GORKI SOUTH
|
| BOSS BATTLE: SPIDER SOLDIER - THE FEAR
| o Ammo is everywhere
|
| First and foremost, Cure the venom and remove and bandage the bolt. Once
| that's taken care of, take out your Thermal Goggles--you'll rely on them
| heavily throughout the battle. He'll pretty much stay in the trees, and stop
| occasionally for you to shoot him while he shoots back at you. If you're
| blood thirsty and using a full auto it'll be over pretty fast, but using the
| Mk22 takes a little longer. Both ways are incredibly easy, seeing as your
| shots deal more damage than it did on Pain. The only difference is The Fear
| will start to look for food when his stamina gets low. Shoot up some Poison
| Dart Frogs and poisonous mushrooms for him to snack on (with a lethal
| weapon). He's a lousy shot, so whipping him up some poisonous food even while
| he's firing like a maniac is still a walk in the park. He will eat everything
| you prepare when he's hungry. Plus, he's very vulnerable when climbing down
| to look for some food. But get too close to him on the ground and he'll bowl
| you over. This battle will be over quickly if you don't set off too many
| traps on yourself.
|
| After it's over, go SW a little to pick up the Spider camo if you tranqed
| him. It gives about 80% coverage everywhere but drains stamina very fast. If
| you want to get the Infinity Face Paint the easy (*cough* cheater) way, place
| mousetraps around here to pick up a goofy looking Tsuchinoko. It's impossible
| to pronounce, but its rewards are great. Make sure it stays alive.
|
| + To the best of my knowledge, there's only one Tsuchinoko in the game, so
| eating it when trying to get the IFP is a huge no-no.
|
| PONIZOVJE WAREHOUSE
| We're back here to enter the previously locked door. But if you want a little
| something special, you'll have to go the extra mile. In order to get the
| Water face paint, you'll have to backtrack all the way to Ponizovje South
| (the river). I'm not gonna lead you step by step. Just look underwater near
| the entrance to Peschera Cave. BTW, all the guards that were patrolling the
| river have left. Anyway, getting through the warehouse is the first priority.
| There's no one on the top level where you are. From the edge of the catwalk,
| you should be able to take out all the guards on the ground floor with your
| silencer on if they all go to check on each other. That just leaves the guy
| on the 2nd level. Get in the SE corner beside the staircase and while
| crouching hit him when he's at the end of his walkway (it's a tough shot).
| From there, either go get the Water face paint or go through the previously
| locked door to Svyatogornyj. It's that sliding door right next to the one you
| came through on your first visit here.
|
| SVYATOGORNYJ SOUTH
| Take a few steps and you'll get a call from EVA. There aren't any guards in
| the area. Just stock up on food, wait for health to recover, take a break if
| you need it. There's a book around here somewhere...
|
| SVYATOGORNYJ WEST
| This isn't necessarily tough to get by here, it's just the fact that the
| guards don't stand out too well. There's quite a handful of them around here.
| Use thermals if you need any help. Make your way north using the grass, logs,
| rocks, whatever for cover. There're no items here, so go on through without
| searching. At the fork ahead, take a detour and go E instead of N, where your
| target is.
|
| SVYATOGORNYJ EAST
| Head E so you won't have to deal with any guards in the woods and carefully
| make your way to the cottage. There's only a few guards outside that need to
| be removed. Only shoot at them if you can take em out in one hit. You don't
| want support arriving, not here. Crawl underneath the supports and in the
| very back, towards the center, there's a door you can climb through. Claim
| your M63. There's someone walking around; be careful if you're going through
| the rooms. He's pretty loud, though, so you'll know if he's near. You can
| find some SPs if you check the place out. Leave through the door in the floor
| you came through. The storage shed to the NW has 2 Calorie Mates and a
| Ration. When you're satisfied, go SW and return to Svy W.
|
| SVYATOGORNYJ WEST
| Head N, avoiding everyone as best you can. Half of the guards behind you you
| won't have to worry about unless you trigger an alarm. You've only got a few
| of them between you and Sokrovenno.
|
| SOKROVENNO
|
| BOSS BATTLE: ANCIENT SNIPER - THE END
| o Favorite hiding spots:
| - Sokrovenno South: high ledge just right of the path to Sokrovenno North
| (to get there, go to Sokrovenno North, go E up a large hill, then S to
| come back out on the ledge)
| - Sokrovenno North: on any of the places on the N ledge
| o Hiding spot giveaways:
| - He gives off heat (thermals, poindexter)
| - He will doze off if you take too long finding him (plus he snores)
| - He makes weird noises when he's hungry
| - His scope sometimes reflects sunlight at you (look for a small flash)
| - He's bald and his forehead sticks out a little.
| o Ammo is in armory in Sokrovenno South
|
| After you finish your chit chat with EVA, the fight will start. I'll say it
| up front: if you absolutely DO NOT want to fight this dude, save your game,
| and you can either wait 10 days in the real world or set your PS2 clock 10
| days ahead. When you open your game, it turns out The End is dead. But if you
| do this you forego the Moss camo--one of the best--and his Mosin Nagant
| sniper rifle--also the best (even though you don't get to keep the Nagant
| when starting a new game anyways). This fight is very time consuming and
| extremely aggravating. First off, look at the map. He's hiding in one of
| several sniper spots. The possible locations will appear on the map as
| circles. Your job is to find him. He should be on the ledge due N of your
| position when you start off. If he fires, you're in sight of him. Crawling
| around everywhere can't hurt when you don't know where he is. Running around
| will definately get you shot. If you are shot, be sure to remove the needle
| immediately. Look on the map--it'll show where he's hiding when he fired.
| He'll more than likely stay put until you fire back at him or he sees you
| come close to him. He'll almost always be laying down in tall grass. He will
| also crouch behind the occasional rock or something else. It doesn't matter.
| Just sneak around behind him. Once you manage to track him down, either by
| using the techniques above or by pure luck of guessing, DON'T CHARGE HIM, GO
| AROUND you big ninny. Hold him at gunpoint until he surrenders his Moss
| uniform (it takes awhile). With this you gain 100% Camo Index laying in grass
| plus you regain stamina in sunlight! Anyway, shoot the bastard once he coughs
| it up. Whenever you find him, the battle becomes easier. He'll get up, throw
| a stun (turn your back) and run. Pump him full of lead. Attach your thermals
| and follow him, shooting as you go (don't use Mk22 bullets, but don't kill
| him either if you can't afford to). He'll surprisingly outrun you, but
| hitting him stalls him for a split second. Once you've stalled him enough for
| a well-placed headshot, fire away. If you manage to catch up beside him he'll
| throw another stun and disappear. If you still have your thermals on, you can
| see his footprints. If you don't hurry, the footprints will lose their heat
| distribution. Also, watch his stamina. When it's draining fast he's on the
| move. When it stops he's waiting for you. So don't just follow his footsteps
| blindly. Check your map often; when you see the prints leading you straight
| to a sniper spot, sneak around behind him. Shoot him in the back as many
| times as you can before repeating the chase process and receiving
| chastisement for shooting an old fart from behind.
|
| + Whenever you sneak up on him, take time to look at all the tranquilizer
| darts on him if you used the Mk22. Like a porcupine.
|
| Even if you don't hit him point blanc he might move. If you're trying to kill
| him, then that M63 you picked up earlier can even end the battle when he's
| running from spot to spot. When his stamina gets low, he'll be on the move
| since he'd prefer to hunt rather than snipe you. One meal and he's back at
| his peak, though--don't lollygag when you're trying to beat this guy. I
| haven't confirmed this yet, but it's rumored that shooting his parrot on top
| of the Sokrovenno South armory will stop him from regaining any stamina.
| Lastly, here's some advice: don't lay down and try to snipe him (if he holds
| up YOU you'll be put in a cell back at the lab). Just don't lose track of him
| and you'll wipe the floor with his grimey geriatric ass sooner than you
| think.
|
| Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight! To show him what a
| good sport you are, shoot down his pet parrot on top of the armory and devour
| it if you feel like it. Or you can just celebrate. Whatever you do, don't
| forget to pick up his Mosin Nagant in the middle of Sokrovenno North if you
| tranqed him and the SVD in the armory if you passed it in Ponizovje. When
| you're done laughing out of spite move on to Kraznogorje. Don't even bother
| trying to say these names out loud. No, don't even try.
|
| KRASNOGORJE TUNNEL
| When Kojima decided to push the limits of the PS2, he did it in the most
| unthinkably maniacal way possible: to put a ladder in the game that you never
| reach the end of... Well, you do... eventually. Set the controller face down
| so that it's pushing up on the left analog stick. In the time it takes to
| climb MGS3's ladder of doom you could be saving on hundreds in car insurance.
| Why haven't you called GEICO yet?
|
| KRAZNOGORJE MOUNTAIN BASE
| Another PONR. This is the toughest area to get by so far. When you get to the
| large open area go to prone and grenade the guard in the ledge right ahead of
| you (you may not see him but toss one over anyway). From there, snipe the guy
| on that high point on the rock wall. There should be a crawlspace near the
| first guy you removed. Go through it and you'll be on that killer position.
| Toss the guy over if you want to. From there you can easily take out anyone
| you need to. Don't bother shooting everything that moves. In this area the
| guards will pretty much stay put; shoot only the guards that you don't need
| to go past to exit the area. Pick up ammo underneath the archway rock near
| the exit.
|
| KRAZNOGORJE MOUNTAINSIDE
| Take extra caution that you don't invoke the wrath of the almighty Hind
| chopper. That's the last thing you want happening. If a guard sees you, you
| could be looking at a missile aiming right between your butt cheeks from that
| eye in the sky. Use the many holes in the mountainside to work your way
| around the guards and at the top, there are two ledges that lead to the small
| camp to the W. If you get on the higher one you can pick up some Mosin tranqs
| and snipe the guards below with either gun, but watch your back frequently;
| the guards also check that spot. If you don't mind killing, set a claymore
| behind you to discourage them from discovering you. But if all else fails,
| there are several mounted machine guns on the mountain... Check the shacks
| for lots of cool goodies, including the coveted RPG. Lots of fun with this
| gun.
|
| KRAZNOGORJE MOUNTAINTOP
| Just like in Bolshaya Past base, jump in that trench and wreak havoc from
| there. As long as you are very careful of the few guards patrolling the
| trench you should have no problem. Use the small holes linking the trench to
| the supply sheds to your advantage. Here, too, you don't need to take out
| every guard, just the ones that are necessary. You shouldn't need to remove
| more than half the guards. EVA's waiting for you in that shack at the top.

| BOSS BATTLE: FLAME SOLDIER - THE FURY
| o Ammo is found everywhere
|
| Don't worry, this is nothing like The End. The Fury's much easier. Very easy.
| In fact, you shouldn't lose any life to him. There's really no strategy
| here besides to put on black camo and don't even hide--just find a spot
| at either end of a hallway, crouch, and when he noisily clanks on by nail him
| as many times as you can. Then just run and pick another spot to shoot when
| he sets everything on fire. If you're caught on fire, just roll. But you can
| easily avoid the fire if you keep your distance from him.
|
| Yet another PONR, as indicated by the now-blocked passageway. Pick up the
| Fire camo if you tranqed him and proceed. The only place you use this is...
| well... fighting Fury! Really there's no real reason to get this other than
| to just expand your collection. Snake's backpack is really starting to bulge
| with all that crap in it. Hard to believe he has an RPG and sniper rifles in
| there. They must be collapsible.

|
| This area isn't that tough to get through. For now, anyway. Don't worry. All
| guards are in easy access and usually hang out in the open spaces where you
| have plenty of room to shoot at them if they suspect something's up. I won't
| cover all the sections of the exterior of Graznyj Grad but feel free to
| explore. I wouldn't recommend it, since there's nothing valuable worth the
| hassle it takes to snoop around in this place--just because it's easy doesn't
| mean you have free reign over the place. Go to the door roughly N of your
| starting position.

| Same thing as the lab: put on your Scientist coat and take off your face
| paint. Only here you can't explore the entire place completely unguarded. You
| need to find Raikov. I'd recommend doing this before tearing the place apart
| looking for goodies. Once you find him (I guess it's a him...), knock him/it
| out, kill him, or do both when nobody's around. Be sure to do it when he's
| near the lockers upstairs, otherwise you'll have to drag him there. And
| patrol units WILL shoot the instant they see you dragging Raikov's lifeless
| body around. Surprise, surprise.
|
| - Cutscene: Goodnight Blondie -
|
| Was he sportin the g-string? Anyway, put on his uniform and--hey! Put on

| drop a log in the toilet without flushing, or even beat the living shit out
| of anybody and they won't do anything as long as you're Raikov. An XM16 SP is
| in the 5th locker, 1st row. There are also a few rations in some other
| lockers. On the 1st floor in the previously off limits NE room you'll find a
| Scorpion, Mk22 SP, and ammo. In the room right below the stairs there are
| med supplies and in the SE room a mousetrap is on the crates. In the library
| there's a book on the floor (hm...) and in the bathroom there's nothing.

| For a little bonus, save your game here and reset. You're in for a surprise

| regain consciousness, you'll find you're stripped of all your belongings and
| you're in your birthday suit, but at least the gents gave you a fork.
| Apparently they don't know U.S. seals are trained in the ancient art of fork.
| The guard will toss you food every so often. Plan your escape once you've had
| your fill. Remove the transmitter and fake death pill from your body. Once
| again, as always, you have an option as to your mode of escape, but the first
| way is more fun: 1) Wait until he gives you some rotten food, then throw it
| back at him through the hole. When he eats it and exits your sight, clutching
| his ass, call the frequency Sorrow gave you in the cutscene if you went to
| FPV--144.75 2)Just use the fake death pill and revive yourself the instant he
| turns around. As long as you exit the area before he sees you or the empty
| cell you're safe. Unleashing fork-fu on him is another option. Just don't
| send out don't send out any alerts. You can't make it through this area with
| an alert if you're playing on the difficult levels. Zero will call you when
| you exit, but don't pick up if you're not in a talky mood. Notice that from
| now on you can't see completely in FPV; the right side is blocked. It doesn't
| really put you at that much of a disadvantage though. You can find a camera
| in the guard's office, with this you can take pictures of damn near anything
| and save them on your memory card. You get to keep the camera when you start
| a new game. Pick up some med supplies in his bedroom if you need any, then

|
| GROZNYJ GRAD SOUTHEAST
| The SAA you have for some reason is the very essence of cool. Why? Not only
| can you spin the right analog stick with it equipped to play with it, but
| when shooting it, you can ricochet bullets off walls to hit people like
| Oscelot did. Only difference is, you need practice. Now the only thing you
| need are bullets. You'll find SAA ammo around here in various locations; some
| you can pick up from guards. For some reason, your KO throw has been
| disabled. No matter, when you head around the building to the right just
| pick up Cardboard Box C. If you want to get some SAA bullets, hop down in the
| drainage tunnel just N of the building (you'll have to take out that guard N
| of the cardboard box). But that way brings you a lot farther away from your
| objective than just going through the crawlspace in the wall to the W. Either
| way, you'll end up in the same area, but in different starting positions. You
| can also take the door, but there's no advantage there.
|
| GROZNYJ GRAD NORTHEAST
| If you manage to make it to the door on the W in one piece, go through it by
| all means. But there are some guards you just can't sneak by. This is where
| the cardboard box comes into play. If you hear "Who's that?" then throw on
| your Sunday best and wait till they come over to check you out. They will
| first kick the box then peer inside. Give em hell when they lift it off. This
| doesn't let you get by without raising any alarms, just taking out guards
| individually without support coming. Don't just leave your box if they take
| it off you when you're done with them. But all in all it's better just to not
| even get caught. Head W.
|
| GROZNYJ GRAD NORTHWEST
| The sewer entrance you're aiming for is in the NE corner. You're gonna have
| to go near the tanks on the left to get by the searchlight. It's pretty easy
| sneaking around the people patrolling here. It's the dogs that are the
| problem. You can shoot them if you have bullets, but that'll raise caution.
| The obvious choice is to just not go near them; if you do, stalk or crawl.
| SAA bullets are on the truck just past the tanks. Head N and if you crawl
| behind those barricades no guards should notice you. Be careful of the dog
| near you, though. If you're crawling he shouldn't be a problem as long as
| you don't bump into him. Go through that gate just past the dog and crawl

| very long river--you'll see his lifeless body floating there and you'll
| instantly die when you touch it. If you do, you'll get my favorite camo--

| BOSS BATTLE: COLONEL VOLGIN
| o Vulnerable when:
| - His frontal shield is overpowered
| - His back is turned (running, recharging)
| o Ammo will be thrown down occasinally from Ocelot
|
| I'm not gonna lie to you, this is a beast of a battle. You have 5 minutes to
| kill this shmuck. He's pretty much invincible when he has his shields up.
| Keep shooting until they fall or you can grenade him. He can only block shots
| from the front. Shooting him from behind, although the opportunity rare,
| always delivers damage. Whenever he hits you with a lightning bolt, you'll
| lose all the bullets in the clip. Either unequip your weapon if you think
| you're gonna be struck or just don't let it hit you. If you're killing him,
| just keep shooting him with an automatic until he starts taking damage and
| shoot him every time he turns his back to recharge or yell at Ocelot. He'll
| lose energy with every attack he makes and every hit he takes. The room gets
| bluer as he stores more energy. Get your gun ready when the room's color has
| faded and he starts making his way over to the fuse box. If you're draining
| his stamina, stun grenades is the easiest way but you can't finish the battle
| like this, seeing as supplies are limited. Shoot down his shield with lethal
| weapons and squeeze in a few darts while he's temporarily stunned. When the
| battle is halfway complete, you get a little break where Volgin asks for help
| and the complex is evacuated. When the battle resumes, your opponent will
| appear with a few new tricks, like the bullet wave. Lay down when this
| happens, you absolutely do not want to be hit with this. He'll also fire a
| bigger electric bolt, but the mechanics of the fight remain constant. This is
| probably the toughest battle to pull off; it might take a few tries. If you
| short circuited his stamina you'll get the Cold War uniform. With this on
| you stick out like a sore thumb anywhere but guards can't shoot you from the
| front. It's really not as useful as it seems.

| - Volgin can only be shot from the back
| - Attacks include duel machine guns, particle beam, missiles
| - No additional ammo can be found
|
| Holy bejeezus! That thing's still alive. All right, time to get serious. This
| battle is split into two parts, but they're both not that hard. In the first
| part, shoot the treads with an RPG and it'll lock up. Then blast it in the
| back where you see sparks coming out. Repeat the process until you go into
| part 2, where you go it alone on foot. EVA will distract it while you blow
| the crap out of Volgin, who ingeniously decided to pilot it from the top. As
| always, you can't hit him from the front for some reason, so it'll only work
| from the back. Once shot at, Volgin will turn his attention to you. You
| should spend most of your time under the tank (not under the tread), rolling
| underneath then turning around to blast him from behind. The RPG will be your
| main weapon (although now ammo is limited), but you can hop onto any of the
| mounted guns around here. Use them to shoot down any missiles as well as
| hammer Volgin. Just make sure to abandon them on the double if you see that
| tank barreling towards you. For all you pacifists, Volgin does have stamina
| again, so you'll have to tranquilize your way through this battle. Don't
| worry, the Mk22 takes off a bigger chunk than usual here so it's not that
| much harder. Aiming for his head takes off about double damage as a body
| shot. But just keep hitting him in the back and don't get run over and
| you'll do fine. Not as much as you'd expect from the "weapon from hell."

| from the entrance. They'll be walking around and are very careful as to your
| hiding spot. They won't miss you if they come anywhere near you. Some golova
| fruits here should be enough to tide EVA over for the duration of her
| suffering. After the first set is taken care of, continue on until you reach
| a drop. DO NOT go down there, instead, using a sniper and thermals if you
| need them, snipe all the guards in hiding. When you think you're done,
| instead of jumping down, fire off a few unsuppressed bullets to rile any
| survivors up. Squeeze as much ammo out of the dropped sentries as you can
| before continuing to the final boss battle. Remember not to leave EVA behind.

| as much cleavage as EVA shows off (Boss is way too perky for her age if you
| ask me, but who's complaining?). At the start, she'll charge. You can either
| scoot your little behind out of the way or counter with CQC. To do this, wait
| until she bumps into you (don't attack too early) and do either a KO throw or
| chokehold maneuver (the button combination is the same but the results
| aren't). You'll disable her assault and leave you ample time to shoot her,
| hit her, whatever. Disappear after you deliver your attack, cause she'll
| start shooting at you. You can't actually run up to her and CQC her. Only she
| can come to you. You aren't able to run from her attacks either, just dive
| out the way the second she attacks if you feel like ditching. Also, if she
| throws you down, she'll take grenades, for example, away from you if they're
| equipped, as well as leave you with a broken bone some of the time. This
| battle is mostly hide-and-seek, but it's timed hide-and-seek, where she'll
| shout the time remaining. She'll easily lose track of you in flowers if
| you're laying down (almost too easily). Pick any spot and keep tabs on her
| at all times. If you lose her, try the thermals (they don't help much) or the
| Motion Tracker, but the trail of flower petals she kicks up when she runs
| should be enough. Fire off a suppressed shot or use a sniper rifle if
| necessary (which might give away your position but hey, do what you gotta do;
| it's alright if you duck behind a log). Only fire clean headshots when she's
| not moving--you've got plenty of time and ammo is limited. When you hit her
| she'll blast away with her Patriot regardless of whether she actually saw you
| or not. If she stops firing after a short time, you're golden. If not, find a
| new spot. The only thing you have to worry about is if she "knows" where you
| are. This rarely happens but then again, it does happen. She'll walk right up
| to you and start shooting. If you're hungry, snack on the three delicious
| white snakes found only in this area (Solid, Liquid, and Solidus... where
| have I heard that before...), all 3 hanging out by different logs. If you
| defeat Boss non-lethally you'll start a new game with the Snake uniform in
| your pack. No, it doesn't look like her shiny jump suit. I would kill for
| that thing. Well, I did. Nothing happened, what can you do?
|
| - Cutscene: Eternal Parting -
|
| After the game's only non-skippable cutscene, you can zoom in with Triangle
| while you pull the trigger manually on your beloved Boss. By now you should
| have a bigger tear on your cheek than the Indian on that old TV commercial.
|
| - Cutscene: Field of Blood / Prolonged Fight -
|
| That scar gave us all the heebie jeebies friend. When the game resumes play,
| select the SAA on the right and you'll get to start the next game with one.
|
| WIG INTERIOR
|
| - Cutscene: Duel! -
|
| Depending on which gun you select, you can initiate two different cutscenes.
| Choosing the left one will let you win the duel but won't give you an SAA on
| your next game. Winning the duel doesn't mean you kill him, either--it was a
| blank anyhow.
|
| - Cutscene: Close Call / Miracle -
|
| Oh, it's you, Zero... What do you want now?
|
| - Save Prompt 06 -
|
| - Cutscene: Love Machine / True Patriot / Big Boss / The Unsung Hero -
|
| - Closing Credits: "Way to Fall" -
|
| - Phonecall from Ocelot to Chief Director -
|
| ~ Fin.
|
| + Bet none of you figured out ADAM was Ocelot. He was working for the CIA the
| whole time, but you would've known that already if you were paying
| attention. There're also more discreet inferences in the story I'll leave to
| you to piece together, such as the identity of the Boss' child and the true
| destination of the Legacy. After fully enjoying the whole experience, see
| how you did.

| 011.Snake Vs. Monkey |
|������������������������
| I won't cover the details of the mini-game since you really don't need to
| steal somebody else's strategy, just keep playing it. It should take anywhere
| from 1-10 tries depending on memory, and--more importantly--luck for all you
| mediocre Metal Gear Soliders. It's not hard at all to score 1st place in
| these missions. Just have perserverence. Go team! Yay!
|
| ESCAPE FROM THE JUNGLE
| Monkeys = 9
| Time to beat: 1:00:36
| - Automatically unlocked -
|
| DRAGNET OF THE APES
| Monkeys = 15
| Time to beat: 1:45:36
| - Automatically unlocked -
|
| DAWN OF THE APES
| Monkeys = 21
| Time to beat: 2:00:36
| Unlocked when Rassvet is reached
|
| APE FEAR
| Monkeys = 18
| Time to beat: 3:00:36
| Unlocked when Bolshaya Past Base is reached
|
| GONE WITH THE APES
| Monkeys = 18
| Time to beat: 2:30:36
| Unlocked when Graniny Gorki Lab is reached
|
| Shatter all the 1st place records in all five levels and you'll get both the
| outrageous banana camo uniform and the shockingly sexy, FPV-nullifying monkey
| mask for use in the real game! Just be sure you save your SVM game data (it's
| a save file that's separated from your actual MGS3 story data).

| 012.Kerotan Frogs |
|���������������������
| Shooting the whole lot of Kerotan frogs will get you the stealth camo upon
| completion of the game; an alternative to the no-alert strategy. In my
| opinion this is far more tedious, but allows you to kill everything that
| breathes and still wind up with MGS3's coveted stealth camouflage. This is
| kind of an unfinished (and somewhat inaccurate) listing of the frogs; I'll
| polish this later on.
|
| + Tip: make sure you go through this list in order, to save any possible
| backtracking, with the exclusion of the sidetrack needed for 2 frogs at the
| beginning of Operation Snake Eater.
| Looking in FPV a lot will really help you find these frogs. Go ahead.
| Try it.
