Hi, I'm DomZ Ninja, and this is now my third FAQ. Metal Gear Solid is
actually the first Metal Gear Solid game that I've ever played, but it's
difficulty and replay value makes this game very enjoyable, even for a n00b
to the game like me. The story is very rich and well done, and you actually
feel like you're watching a move when the cinemas come on. The controls and
camera are incredibly well done, and the gameplay keeps you coming back for
more. This is an example of a truly perfect game; this game is just
unforgettable. Well, on to the FAQ!

{==Stamina==}
Stamina is as important as health in this game. Stamina will deplete if you
move using the Left analog, shimmy, climbing, attacking, etc. If Snake's
stamina is low, aiming will be harder, for Snake starts shaking the gun. If
you run out of Stamina, Snake's stomach will growl, possibly alerting any
nearby enemies. Killing animals and taking food will help. Eat food in the
survival viewer to regain stamina, helping Snake perform more activities.
{==Backpack==}
Snake can't hold every single weapon and item that he acquires in the game.
In order to use a particular item or weapon on the battlefield, you must open
your survival viewer and select "BACKPACK". From there, you can select
weapons and items to your window. Back in the game, press R2 to view
accessible weapons to use, or press L2 to use accessible items. You can only
hold a certain amount of weapons and items in your arsenal, so you must
choose wisely. At anytime you want to disable an item or weapon, just access
your backpack and take it out. You can replace it with another weapon or item
to use.
{==Cure==}
After the prologue, Snake will be able to cure himself of inguries sustained
in battle. Open the survival viewer and select "CURE". The screen will show
injuries on Snake's body. You can use certain medicine for certain injuries.
An example is a burn. You can use ointment and a bandage to completely heal a
burn wound. For a gunshot wound, first you must extract the bullet with your
knife, then use disinfectants, stitches, and bandages. If you find out that
you don't have all of the medicinal items used to heal a wound, then your
wound will only be somewhat cured. If a would is left without any type of
medicinal care, then Snake's stamina will decrease more than usual.
{==Saving==}
I must admit, I didn't knkow how to save until Mission 3. If you don't
explore enough with in-game menus and such, then you will have the same
problem as I did. In order to save your game, you must press select and
access your radio. From there, type in the frequency "140.96" to contact para-
Medic to save.
{==CQC==}
CQC stands for close-quarters-combat, which proves to be very useful in this
game. Some times, if you don't have any guns, this proves to be vey useful.
If an enemy has spotted you, press O to unleash a 3-hit combo on your
opponent, knocking him to the ground. If you aren't loticed by a guard, sneak
up behind the enemy and press O when you are right behind him. You will grab
the enemy by the throat. There are several techniques used once you've
grabbed your opponent:
Left Analog + O = Direct Throw (You will slam the enmy to the ground,
stunning him)
L3 + O = Interrogate (You will interrogate the enemy, where they could
possibly leak useful information out of fear)
[] = Human Shield (Once the enemy is grabbed, press Square to use the enemy
as a human shield)
O (Hold) = Slit Throat (Snake will slit the enemy's throat, leaving a bloody
body to be dealth with)
O (Tap) = Neck Snap (Snake will start to choke the enemy, then proceeds to
snap their neck)
{==Stealth==}
Stealth is what this whole game is all about. Instead of normal shooter games
where you wipe the field of enemies, you must be very strategic in this game.
if an enemy is near, use the D-Pad to stalk him instead of the left analog
stick, where you will make more noise. Crawling under grass and underbrush is
very important for being undetected. Press X to crouch, then use the analog
stick to crawl under platforms or through tall grass. In order to lose all
hope of being detected, drag unconcious or dead bodies in unaccessible or
hard-to-find places, such as dropping them off of a bridge or hiding them in
tall grass. If an enemy spots a body of their comrade, they will be even more
cautious than before. When Snake is up against a wall, he can knock on the
wall by pressing O to attarct nearby enemies to their unsuspecting doom.
{==Enemy Stats==}
Certain icons appear over enemies head to represent their status:
? = Suspicious of something (might have seen something strange). Enemy
proceeds to stare where he possibly saw you, then continues on his patrol
! (Blue) = May have heard a strange sound or seen a dead body. Enemy moves in
to investigate.
!(Red) = Enemy spots Snake. The enemy will enter alert stage and tries to
call for backup.
*** = Unconcious. Either kill or avoid the guard before he wakes up.
zzz = Asleep. Either kill or avoid the guard before he wakes up.
Certain alert stages will occur if the enemies become suspicious of you. If
one comes up, you have 99.99 seconds before the enemy resumes patrolling and
loses all suspicion of anything:
Alert Phase = When a guard spots Snake. Guards will come to reinforce each
other. If you kill or tranquilize the guard who saw you, alert stage will
turn off.
Evasion Phase = Occurs when the alert phase timer expires. Enemies will have
lost sight of Snake, but will resume the process of looking for him. Another
timer will be set to 99.99 seconds once this phase starts.
Caution Phase = This phase is triggered when the evastion phase ends, and
another 99.99 second timer will start. Enemies patrol the area like normal,
but are more alert and cautious.

**Taken from the Official Bradygames guide**
{==Snake==}
The main character, this is who you play as. A man who formally introduced
himself as "John Doe" and whent also by the nickname, "Jack". The operative
assigned the codename "Naked Snake" during the historic operation "Virtuous
Mission" reputedly cared little for the rappings of identity. Long before he
would lead the US to victory in the Cold War, his chief concern in life was
one of many disciplines he learned during his training under The Boss, the
woman whose combat talents led tha Allies to victory in World War II, aslo
known as the mother of today's Special Forces. The exact depths of the
relationship between Naked Snake and The Boss remain unclear, but what is
known is that they met ten years prior to Virtuous Mission and drifed apart
perhaps five years after their meeting. Together they crated the martial
arts=inspired fighting style knows as Close Quarters Combat, or CQC.
A mixture of martial arts combined with handgun and knife techniques, CQC is
a means of disarming and disabling an opponent in as few moves as possible.
Naked Snake utilized these legendart skills during the failed Virtuous
Mission and the successive Operation Snake Eater. Though the circumstances of
how he was able to complete the mission remain unknown, he was subsequently
awarded the title of "Big Boss" and went on to establish the Special Forces
Unit FOXHound. In later years he would betray his country and President to
obtain the stolen weapon Metal Gear in an attempt to establish the soldier-
ruled regime of "Outer Heaven" in Zanzibar Land. many psychologists have
attempted to puzzle together the roots of his demoralization and eventual
treason, and some point to the vague events of Operation Snake Eater.
Understanding this complex historic character may be more than most could
hope for.
{==Zero==}
The Major assigned to run Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater, both
designed to aid Russion weapons development scientist and defector Doctor
Sokolov escape from the clutches of the GRU. "Major Zero", as he came to be
known, was the creator of the original FOX unit and a former member of the
SAS. having failed to rescue Sokolov from Russian authorities during a
previous mission that did not involve Naked Snake, the Major bore a heavy
conscious and plunged ahead with Virtuous Mission.
It may be due to his hasty preparations that Virtuous Mission failed and that
The Boss defected to Russia. If he had prepared better, he might have known
of The Boss' intentions before hiring her as a weapons and tactics
consultant. When debriefed following the subsequent Operation Snake Eater,
Major Zero remained unforthcoming as to the fulfillemtn of the mission and
the involvement of the man later to be known as Big Boss. He would only agree
that the operative codenamed Naked Snake was a major part of the operation,
and that things would have gone terribly wrong without his involvement at the
time.
{==Sokolov==}
A Russian weapons research scientist and attempted defector, Sokolov was the
subject of the rescue attempt entitled Virtuous Mission and the subsequent
campaign called Operation Snake Eater. Due to his dissappearance during or
after Snake Eater, many historians point out that he was likely assigned a
new ientity. Sokolov is, after all, credited with the infamous Shagohad
project, a precursor to today's Metal Gears. Though his reason for wanting to
defect remains unclear, one can surmise that perhaps he became disillusioned
about the nature of his work and wished to cease weapons production in light
of the supposed lethality of the Shagohad. However, since the United States
intended to utilize Sokolov in its own weapons research and development, what
he hoped to gain by defecting could not be determined.
{==Eva==}
Thought to be a KGB spy working for Khrushchev, the spy working under the
codename EVA rendezvoused with Naked Snake instead of the missing operative
ADAM. It remains unclear whether Operation Snake Eater was largely successful
due to her help or in spite of her rumored interference. The only man who may
know the answer regarding her involvement is the main operative codenamed
Naked Snake, later known as Big Boss. Therefore, the truth regarding the
woman known as EVA is perhaps lost in history.
{==The Boss==}
Little is actually recored in any of the files regarding the woman known by
the revered title, "The Boss". This is mainly due to the top secret, cloak
and dagger nature of most of the missions in which she participated. What all
of the files do state in resonance is that she was largely responsible for
the victory of the Allies in World War II, and that she went on to become the
creator and "mother" of the Special Forces. Yet for reasons entirely unknown
to the US government, The Boss betrayed the country she had sever for over 20
years and two wars, defecting to the USSR during Virtuous Mission. She was
blamed and accused of launching and detonating to "Davy Crockett" class
portable nuclear warheads in Russian Territory. The reasons for her sudden
and erratic behavior were unknown to all, save the other participants in
Operation Snake Eater and her beloved hand-picked Cobra Unit, also known as
the "Sons of The Boss".
{==Ocelot==}
The commander of the Ocelot Unit that served the renegade Russian Colonel
Volgin of the GRU was well known for his amazing learning and adaptive
capabilities. Able to employ advanced combat skills within mere hours of
seeing them in action, the Ocelot ommander was unmatched in his unit. For
this reason, the GRU treated Ocelot as second in command to Volgin, despite
prescent of other highter-ranking officials within the specialized army. In
his later life, he joined the unit FOXHound and became known as "Revolver
Ocelot". Ocelot's actions indicate the possibility that he could be a double
agent, alling his true loyalty and motivations into question.
{==Volgin==}
Colonel and commander of the Russian GRU, which led an uprising against
Khrushchev in the early '60s, Volgin bore the codename "Thunderbolt", due to
his reported ability to channed and control electric energy. Volgin built and
presided over the imprnetrable fortress Groznyj Grad, named for Ivan Groznyj,
or "Ivan the Terrible". The Shagohod weapons system was allegedly being
developed inside his fortress when Dodtor Sokolov attempted to defect. Volgin
often uttered the Japanese phrase "Kuwabara, Kuwabara" before or after the
performing psychotic, vicious acts of cruelty. There is no exact translatjion
in the English language for this phrase, but in Volgin's usage he most likely
meant to say, "The horror..." perhaps promising death and destruction to his
enemies.
{==The Pain==}
Cobra Unit hornet soldier "The Pain" was a master bee tamer and hornet
specialist supposedly capable of commanding entire swarms of stinging hornets
to do is bidding and attack his enemies. A former comrade of The Boss, The
Pain was one of several fearsome Cobra Unit commandos involved in the events
of Operation Snake Eater. The Pain ostensible developed his rare gift by
allowing thousands of hornets to sting him for months at a time, unti lthe
hive came to believe that he was in fact another hornet himself. His intense
willingness to suffer pain for his art enticed The Boss to recruit him for
the Cobra Unit during the last world war.
{==The Fear==}
Cobra Unit spider soldier "The Fear" was appropriately named, due to his
frightening appearance and abilities. The Fear dislocated limbs at will to
enhance his strange ability to climb rough surfaces like a spider. The
dislocation allowed The Fear to leap great distances and to crawl across the
ground at lightning-fast speeds. A formidable wilderness hunter, The Fear
preferred to use a crossbow gun to "sting" his opponents with toxic poitions
extracted from the world's deadliest insects.
{==The End==}
A veteran of dozens of wars, The End spent most of his latter days in a kind
of preventative hibernation, staving off his own natural death until he
finally found a battle worthy of his life. A superior marksman and sniper,
The End employed camouflage techniques that made him invisible even the
brightest, most exposed arenas. His sole companion in life was a squawking
parrot, which woke The End up just in time for battle.
{==The Fury==}
An astronaut on secret Soviet rocket messions, The Fury reportedly fought
with all the anger and rage he felt regarding the warlike state of the world.
Equepping a headvy spacesuit and the most powerful flamethrower ever made,
The Fury would unleash his flames of wrath upon his enemies, consuming them
in puriflying fires he wished would consume the whole world, wiping mankind's
slate clean.
{==The Sorrow==}
A former Cobra Unit spirit medium soldier, The Sorrow could evidently speak
to dead men on the battlefield to determind enemy positions and armaments.
His tap into the spirit world also probided him a means to see slightly into
the future, and to read the minds of interrogation subjects. However, The
Sorrow was reportedly killed years before Operation Snake Eater. Therefore,
there is no way he could have been part of The Boss's defection and the GRU
uprising.......could he?

The first area of the game. Don't worry, there are no enemies here. After
Snake is done talking with the Major on radio, get a feel for the game by
walking around and crawling. Remember that the Major says that he always
refers north as up, south as down, east as right, and west as left. I will be
using the same references. Got it? Go east, then north once you reach the
dead end. Pick up the box by walking over it. It's a life medicine. Slide
down the hill, then press Triangle while next to the central tree with the
ivy on it. You will climb it. Walk to the end of the branch, then press
Triangle when you're under the backpack to swing down and get it. This is a
good area to hunt for food, because there aren't any enemies. Look on the
ground for snakes. They aren't hard to miss. Walk up to one and press Circle
three times to kick the snake, killing it. Pick it up, and you can access the
food in the Survival Viewer. You can use the Mk22 against it too, but there's
no need to waste bullets, is there? Head north into the next area.

For your second area, this place can be dangerous. There are numerous gavials
scattered along the swamp, and they can hurt you. Use your Mk22 to
tranquilize them from a distance. If you're brave (or stupid), you can kill
the gavials with your knife, but I don't recommend it. Most of the area is
covered in quicksand, so stay near the edges. Search the grass near the first
animal for bug juice, then continue east in the grass to find grenades. Go
north through the quicksand and proceed onto the island. Watch out for the
two gavials. Aim up in the tree and shoot the hornet's nest. Head off of the
island towards the west side of the swamp. There will be more gavials, so
avoid them and collect the suppressor in the western corner of the swamp.
Continue east through the quicksand until you reach the northern bank. Walk
down the path, shoot the fruit from the trees, and continue to the next area.

Ooh, guards! This is where you really can't run around anymore. First off,
crawl in the crass in front of you. If you move around the camera a bit, you
should see a guard coming straight ahead. Equip the Leaf Camouflage and wait
until the guard is close enough for firing range. Now, I must admit, I was
awful at this area, because I'm not used to not having crosshairs for games.
So what I did is that if I wanted to aim for a guy's head, don't aim at his
head, aim a little below. If you're a pro at MGS games, then just tranq him
in the face. Unequip everything, and press Square to drag hiss unconcious
body into the tall grass. Knife him to death, and get up, and hide behind
trees until you see a fork in the road. When the right path is accessible,
head right and up the hill. At the top, you will find the Dragunov Sniper
Rifle. You can use it if you want, but it's very noisy, so guards can spot
you easier if you use it.
Head back down the hill, and crawl under the tree trunk to find bug juice.
You can wait for the next enemy to come along. Crawl out of the other side of
the trunk and into the tall grass. You can either tranq him or use some CQC,
it's your choice. Either way, drag his body away from any guards' sight and
kill him. You can pick him up and put him down so he drops ammo. It's a
useful technique called "shaking". Head north, and tranq any guards in your
way. Instead of going straight the whole time, head east once the path is
open. Crouch and look around for any guards. If the coast is clear, make a
mad dash eastwards and a little north until you find another tree trunk.
Crawl in it and collect the thermal goggles. There should be another enemy in
front of you, so tranq and knife him. If at any time, an enemy sees you,
quickly tranq him and hide in the tree trunk before reinforcements see you.
Once all the guards are eliminated, head to the western side and search the
grass to find grenades. You can hunt for wildlife in the area, but if you're
fine, then head north until you find a center pathway. Head up the path to
the next area.

One little item found here can make the whole area easy as hell: the hornet's
nest. Look down the ledge at the guard. Look above him. There should be a
hornet's nest in the tree right above him. Shoot the nest, angering the
hornets and attacking the guard. The guard runs across the bridge, and the
hornets end up attacking all of the other gaurds, chasing them out of the
area! For some strange reason, like, if you miss the nest and alert the
guard, simply tranq and kill the lone guard, then snipe the two on the
bridge. Bring the guard's unconcious body next to the other two on the
bridge. Slice the ropes on either side of the bridge, and the bridge will
slide, sliding the bodies right off of the bridge and into the river. That
was easy, wasn't it? You'll probably slide with the bodies. If you fall to
the edge, Snake will grab on the edge. Press Triangle to climb back onto the
bridge.
Across the bridge, collect the mushrooms on the base of the tree. Head west,
then south down the small tunnel. You will come to the edge of the cliff.
Shimmy across, and you'll end up in a small alcove under the bridge. Collect
the XM16E1 and Pentazemin, then head back across and up the tunnel. Go west
into the next area.

After the cutscene, head to the side of the right-hand wall. Crawl, and there
will be an opening on the eastern side of it. Crawl through to the other
side. A guard will be patrolling down the road. Once he gets inbetween the
two brick walls, get behind him and perform CQC to knock him out. Drag him
into the grass and knife him. Head up the pathway towards the eastern side.
When you come up to the building, hide behind a wall and check that the coast
is clear, then enter. You can find an M37 behind some crates. Move up the
stairs. Only proceed up the first flight, then look above you at the
platform. A guard shoud be ducking and looking around. He can't see you, so
tranq him in the face. Go up the next flight of stairs and knife him on the
upper level (I love that phrase). Collect the suppressor and ammo for your
XM16E1. Go back down the stairs, move east and hide behind some stacked
cardboard boxes. A guard should come past and walk right next to you without
seeing you. Use CQC on him and slit his throat or whatever. Just don't make
noise.
Head back towards the eastern side of the ruined building and look on the
wall for a ladder. Climb up to gain access to the roof. Shoot some Sunda-
Whistling Thrushes, and go back to the building. Go north all the way to the
end of the building, and dive through the opening on the east side. If there
is a guard waiting for you, take him out with CQC or your Mk22. Head south,
then east in the small room. Open the door to encounter Sokolov.
After the cutscene, head back to Dremuchij North. A rather long cutscene will
ensue, so kick back and relax. Once the cutscene ends, you will have to cure
your injuries. Open the survival viewer, and since Para-medic will be holding
your hand through the whole thing, listen to her orders and you'll be fine.
You have just beaten the Prologue!

You don't actually find any items or weapons here, but Snake does start off
with some. He has a M1911A1 pistol as his only weapon. Use it to capture
food, because you won't have it for long. Hunt for frogs and snakes on the
ground, and search the trees for flying squirrels scurrying on branches.
There's little to do here, so proceed north to the next area.

Like the previous area, there is little to do here. Slide down the hill and
move forwards. Aim in the branches of the tree on the side of the pathway to
find a green tree python. Shoot it and take it as food. Continue down the
path and witness a cutscene between you and The Boss. She steals your gun and
tells you to leave. I doubt you'll listen to her anytime soon. The cutscene
will end, and two guards will come onscreen. With you weaponless, flee
southwest to the swamplands.

Strangely, one of the guards will leave and the lone sentry will roam the
crash site. With no weapons, you must use stealth actions wisely. Equip leaf
camouflage and black face paint, and crawl in the underbrush. Take him out
when his back faces you. Head straight, taking either path. There are no
items to collect, so hurry to the next area.

A guard will patrol in front of the bridge. When he has his back turned,
quickly slide down the hill and take him out with CQC. Hide behind the tree
to the left. If another guard spots the corpse, he will rush over to see
what's wrong. With his back to you, run behind the guards and perform another
CQC on him. You can shake their bodies for useful items or ammo, then proceed
across the bridge. Take out the guard past the bridge, then head down the
side of the cliff like last time. Enter the alcove, and pick up the Raindrop
Camouflage and Smoke Grenades. Continue back up the cliff and onto the next
area.

Enemies are absent this time through, so you can either hurry or take your
time. You may want to go animal hunting if you're short on food. Enter the
ruined base to trigger a cutscene. Eva arrives on the scene, and in the
beginning of the cutscene, when the R1 icon appears, press R1 to "enjoy" the
scene a little more. Eva gives you an Mk22, an M191A11 and a Scientist
Camouflage. She tells you to rest. Snake falls asleep after their
conversation. Snake will wake up to find Ocelot soldiers infiltrating the
ruins. Eva escapes in a secret passageway under the ruins, and Snake tells
her that he'll take care of the soldiers.

Follow Eva by opening the trapdoor by pressing triangle. Once you're under,
turn around and crawl towards the opening. By the time you're right next to
the opening, a guard should walk by. Throw a grenade right under his feet and
watch him get decimated. More guards will be alerted and run to investigate.
Let them suffer the same fate by chucking a grenade at them. You can take out
at least 5 out of the 8 soldiers this way. Go through the opening and into
the building. Jump on the crates to the northwest to obtain the Cardboard Box
A. Return to where Sokolove was held, and open the locker in the corner to
get Thermal Goggles. Exit the room, and in the corner is a Mine Detector.
Pick it up, then head west. When you reach the stairs, go up them and get the
AK-47 on the platform. From here, you can get a bird's eye view of most of
the area. Pick off the guard who is to the left of you.
Jump down and go back east. When you can go no further, continue north past
the barrels. When you reach the boxes on the eastern side, bang on them to
attract the soldier who's right on the other side of them. Kill him, then
head north then west. Keep going west until you reach a dead end. Pick up the
zombie face paint. Go back to where the guard near the boxes was, and aim
towards the roof. Shoot a couple times to alert a guard on the rooftop. When
he peeks over the edge, pop a cap in his head to take out the last soldier.
A cutscene will occur, where Ocelot gets served yet again, but by Eva this
time
in a rather painful way. Eva will crash through a gate in the northeast side
of the area, so proceed there once the scene ends. Mission One ends after you
leave Rassvet.

This is a big area. Start off by taking out any snakes on the coast to obtain
some more food. Avoid the gavials, or if you'd like, kill them to obtain
three portions of food. Stay towards the west side of the lake to pick up
Smoke Grenades, White Phosphorous Grenades, and AK-47 ammo. Proceed forward
until you see a submerged log. Dive underwater by pressing X and swim under
the log to the other side. Swim to the bank, where Mk22 ammo and Grenades are
waiting. Pick them up and continue to the ivy-covered tree on the west side.
Climb up it, walk on the branch, and press Triangle to shimmy along the rope.
Shimmy until you reach another hope below you. Drop by pressing X, then
quickly press Triangle to grab onto the rope below you. Shimmy along that
rope until you reach a platform. Drop onto it and pick up the Crocodile Cap.
Jump off of the platform and swim to the western side of the lake. Search the
corner and equip the Thermal Goggles to help look for two submerged boxes.
They contain the CA-KO Camouflage and Chaff Grenades. Head back to the
submerged log and where you found the Mk22 bullets and grenades. Continue
past the ivy tree, but stop and equip the Thermal Goggles. Avoid the red
spot; it's a trap!(sorry, I had to) Continue up the path to your next
destination.

I enjoyed this area a lot. I don't know why, but I did. If you went the left
path, then continue forward until an electric fence blocks your way. Look at
the lower part of the fence on the right side. A little part it cut out.
Crawl through to the other side. Climb the ivy tree that's ahead of you,
climb across teh branch, and drop down on the other side of the next fence.
Proceed a little bit, and look around. You will see a guard dog with it's
back facing you. Shoot it in the head a couple times before it can alert the
guards. Go east this time, and hide in the hollowe dout tree trunk. Equip a
camo to keep you hidden, such as the Tiger Stripe or Tree Bark. Bang on the
tree to attract some guards. CQC a guard if he's alone. If not, then unleash
your AK-47 on all of them. Shake their bodies for goods, then proceed west.
Avoid the quicksand by staying on the left side, and follow the lone guard.
Stalk him, then CQC him if the coast is clear. Drag his body in the grass
(funny, you can't throw bodies into quicksand).
If guards become cautioned, hide in the grass and tranq then as they
approach. Kill them, and backtrack towards the quicksand. Head back south,
then turn east when the quicksand ends. Jump on the platforms and shimmy
along the cliffside. Make sure you don't fall off, and when you reach the
widened ledge, pick up the Splitter camo. Jump down, then proceed north. Walk
west along the electric fence, but proceed slowly. There may be a guard on
patrol. Snipe him, and enter the opening past the electric fences. There
shouldn't be any guards past this point. Head west and go inside the hollowed
tree on the west side to obtain the Choco Chip camouflage. This time, take
the right path; it makes things easier in the next area.

This level is also very big. From the start, look straight ahead. A guard
will be patrolling right ahead of you. CQC him when the time is right, and if
anyone sees you, run to the ditch and dive in it. Equip Sqaure Camo to stay
hidden, and crawl around the base. You will find Snow Face Paint and Mk22
Ammo if you make a whole lap around. At the other side, hop out and tranq any
nearby guards. Go left until you reach a building. Go inside and collect any
medicinal items. Go east to the next building. I actually reccommend
alearting guards. Run into the building on the far right, and when enemies
open the door to get you, you'll be right there with a gun in their face. Do
this to take out a bunch of enemies. Get all the amo and such, then head
south towards the helicopter. If there are any enemies, navigate around the
helicopter and CQC or tranq them.
Machine guns stationed in the corners of the base work well to conserve your
ammo. navigate around the outer edges of the base, taking out any sentries on
patrol. Then, make your way into the base. From where you started, go
northwest until you reach a ladder. Climb up the ladder and pick up the Water
Camo in the top-left corner of the roof. Go back down, and take out any
enemies inside. Go back to those two huts in the eastern side of the area.
Equip TNT, then place them on the wall with Square. Run out of the building,
and when you're in a safe position, pres O to detonate and destroy the
building. Do the same with the next building, and with the helicopter. Once
they are all destroyed, head north to your next area.

Walk to this area to trigger a cutscene between Snake and Ocelot. He wants to
fight you in a one-on-one duel. Only pistols. No interference.

The area will be a large canyon. Ocelot is on one side, and Snake's on the
other. Ocelot will run behind boulders and trees, while peeking out of the
sides to shoot you. Stay behind rocks of your own, and when he scurries by,
try to get a shot or two in with your M1911A1. He will stop in the middle of
the open area and try to get a good shot on you. That's where you shoot him
in the head numerous times. Look for hornet nests on the trees. When Ocelot
runs under a rock, shoot the hornet nest above his hiding place to chase him
out of hiding. You can get a few shots off of him when he's panicing.If you
ever run out of ammo, head south to a tree. There will be grenades high in a
tree, and there will be gun ammo in the western part of the canyon. It
doesn't hurt to explore for items while the battle is going on.
When you take out about half of Ocelot's health, he starts getting more
talented and instead of simply firing at you, he will ricochet shots off of
rocks and hit you, so there aren't many places to hide for cover. If you run
out of M1911A1 ammo entirely, then switch to the AK-47. Ocelot wants a pistol
fight, and if you use the AK-47, he will consider it "cheating" and his
soldiers will fire at you. If you're out of all other ammo, then there is no
choice to use it. Ocelot will take a lot of time reloading, because he's not
used to the new gun. If you hear the noise of clicking guns and bullets being
put into a gun, then he's reloading. He may take a while, so throw a grenade
at the foot of the rock or tree to blast him out of hiding. The blast will
hurt him and make him run away to another location. The battle isn't too
hard, so you will probably have little trouble.
Once the battle ends, another cutscene will start up. The Pain will make an
appearance, interrupting the duel. He sends his hornets to attack everyone.
Ocelot flees, leaving his men to die at the hands of the hornets' lethal
stings. Snake, in an attempt to lose the bugs, takes cover and jumps into a
crevice leading to an underground cave. That's the end of Mission 2!

This cave area is very dark, and you WILL have trouble finding out where to
go. I will try my best to help you, but it may be confusing. I will only
navigate you to the most important items. If you wish to find all of the
items, then have fun wandering around. From the start, head east to the large
cavern. Walk along the western wall and descend through the first passageway
on the left. Continue straight, and in between the two waterfalls is a small
opening with a skeleton. Kill any crabs on the ground and pick up the torch
and the White Phosphorous Grenade that's next to the skeleton. Equip the
torch to recieve some light for navigating through the caves. Return to where
you started, and this time, go east. Crawl on the ground through the small
passage, killing any snakes or rats in your way. You will end up in another
waterlogged passage. Swim straight forward and climb on the platform. Walk to
the end and collect the battery. Head back once again to your starting point
and go east again. Return to the waterfall room and hug the west wall and
enter through the small tunnel. Climb to the top, collect the Cold Medicine
and Serum, then crawl through the passage on the east wall.
You will crawl down towards another room. Search the edges of the room to
find night vision goggles. These make navigating through these caverns a lot
easier, so equip it. Dive down and look for an underwater passage. Quickly
swim through it and get back to the surface before your stamina runs out. You
will be back to the waterlogged passage where you found the battery. Once
again, go back to the starting point and head east. This time, go through the
central passage in the middle of the large cavern. Go up through the tunnel,
and you will be back in the waterfall room, but on an upper level. Go north
and stay on the upper level. Proceed north to enter another tunnel to your
next area. (man, that's a lot of backtracking!)

Once you enter, there will be two paths to take. Head right, through the
narrow passage. Crawl through, and collect the M37 and Mk22 ammo. There are a
bunch of crabs and frogs, so eat away. Crawl on, and collect the Snow
Camouflage. The tunnel will continue on, so when you're out of the tight
space, turn around. There will be some ammo scattered in the open area. Pick
it up, then turn back around and proceed north. You will enter a sunlit cave,
with water everywhere and an island in the center. Snake will enter, and The
Pain will make his entrance, attacking you with hornets. He will land on the
island in the center, and Snake jumps in the water to avoid the hornets. IT'S
ON!

The Pain will take his place on the central island for the whole battle. You
should stay in the water for a large portion of the battle. The Pain likes to
talk to himself a lot in this battle, which actually makes it easier. For
example, if he says "Tommygun!", then stay under the water. He will pull out
a Tommygun and start shooting you, even if you're under the water. Swim
halfway around the pool, and he will surely be done firing at you. When he
yells "Grenade!", he will spawn a grenade and have his hornet friends carry
it to you. When he does say this, hop onto the surrounding rock structures
and fire at The Pain with an AK-47 or M1911A1. He will just stand there,
waiting for the hornets to throw the grenade at you; he's pretty much a
sitting duck.
After you damage The Pain a bit, he will gather his hornets and make a shield
around him. You can take out the shield with some M37 shots, grenades, WP
grenades, or stun grenades. Hop in the water and look for ammo or food if
needed. Sometimes he will ask himself where you are. If he can't find you,
wait underwater with your Water Camo on, and he will walk around the edge of
the island and bend over, looking for you. Equip the Thermal Goggles to make
things easier to see him, and pop in some shots while underwater. Always look
at your stamina! When underwater, your health will decrease if you run out of
stamina. The madman also makes mirror images of himself. If you shoot the
decoy, it will give away your position and you will be attacked. Equip the
Thermal Goggles and shoot the one with the body hit for a surefire way to
hurt The Pain.
Once half of The Pain's health has been depleted, he will start shooting bees
out of his mouth! These are bullet bees, and as the name implies, treat them
as bullets. If you get hit by one, you have to use the same cure treatment as
a gunshot wound. Quickly swim around the island to avoid these attacks. If
you ever run out of ammo, you can find some underwater and on the surrounding
rock structures. There's also many fish to find, so there's plenty of food in
this area. Once you've depleted all of The Pain's health, the hornet-loving
fiend will be done for. He will explode, letting you continue your way out of
the cave.

This is a very straightforward area. Walk along through the cave. There will
be a point where you decend down a rocky pathway. make sure you don't fall
down into the pit below, or you're dead. Continue through, and hug the right
wall to find an alcove. If you didn't pick up the Metal Detector in Rassvet,
it's in the alcove. There will be a small cavern on the left side, with two
Claymores on the ground. Shoot them and pick up the various ammo on the
ground. Proceed north out of the cave.

Being spotted isn't a particularly good thing here, because they signal for
hovercraft guards to take you out. Stay low in the water. When you reach the
dock, swim under the dock and aim for a good shot. Stay angled, and when a
guard starts to patrol the dock, tranq him in the head. Find the other guard
not far away and tranq him too. You can kill them both once the area is safe.
Climb onto the concrete platforms and watch out for the cobalt blue
tarantulas. They're venomous, but provide little stamina recovery. A good use
for them is to tranq one and capture it. At any time, throw it at an enemy's
feet so it can bite and poison them. Head into the weapons storeroom to find
a plethora of supplies, including the main reason for why I told you to come
here: the SVD. If you got this weapon in the beginning of the game, coming to
this area was well worth it, and it will be used in an important battle a
little later in the game. ^_~ Go back to the previous area, and take the
northern path this time.

CHEAP BASTARDS TIP
*````````````````*
Hey, do you want to *NOT* fight a boss later in the game. Well, you
sharpshooters may have a chance to! You saw that creepy old guy in the
wheelchair featured in the cinema about two seconds ago, right? That's The
End, and you can kill him off early in the game, totally preventing this boss
fight from happening! Once the cinema ends, equip the SVD and check out the
dock. Snipe the lowly fools on the dock, and look for a guard pushing The End
in his wheelchair. You gotta be very quick, so shoot the guy pushing the
wheelchair. Proceed shooting the wheelchair until it blows up, killing The
End. There you go, you cheap bastard, you just prevented a boss fight from
ever happening! But I must say, there will indeed be a surprise for you when
you get to the point in which you were supposed to fight The End.
*`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````*
Okay, that's the end of that. Let's rewind a bit. Once you start in the area,
snipe the guards on the dock. They're radiomen, and they will call for backup
if you are seen or heard. There are about three, so when they are done for,
swim to the boats. They carry some ammo. Pick all of it up, then proceed down
the dock and into the warehouse. Not too hard, eh?

I found this place to be somewhat hard to not be spotted in, but I have a
strategy. When you first walk up to the first flight of stairs, stick a TNT
on the wall. Now proceed through the doorway and down the stairs, looking to
avoid any guards. If one calls for reinforcements, run back to where you
stuck the TNT. Shielded guards will come and run up the stairs towards you.
Press O when you have the TNT equipped to detonate it and blast the whole lot
of reinforcements. Go back down the stairs and take out one or two guards.
Head west to the wall, then south down a corridor where you can find the
Desert Face Paint. Go back up north, and look up with your sniper rifle. Look
up the flights of stairs to a balcony high up. Snipe the guard on the
balcony, then proceed up the stairs. On the seonc floor, check the room in
the corner for food supplies and a mousetrap. Head up to the third floor then
out to the exit.

This whole area, which is quite large, is also enemy free and booby trapped
like no end. Equip Thermal Goggles and stay away from areas that give away a
lot of body heat. They are all different types of traps, ranging from pits to
spiked logs. Stay on the eastern side of the area and look for platforms to
climb. On the eastern side on some platforms is a Life Medicine. That's
really the only item that should concern you. Hurry out of the area to avoid
losing any health from traps.

There are two guards and a watchdog in this small area. You start off on the
eastern side. If the guard walks in straight ahead on the other side of the
fence, simple tranq him. Try to snipe the dog from a distance. Proceed west
until you find the second guard. Tranq him as well, then continue west. There
will be a Taiwanese cobra in the bushes. Kill it and avoid it's bite. There
will be a hole in the fence; crawl through. Proceed north and collect the
suppressor. Once on the other side of the fence, kill the two guards before
they wake up. Proceed east and then north. Once you reach the door, press
against it and knock on the door by pressing O. An impatient guard will reply
with, "yeah, yeah, I'll open the door". Run to the left side of the door and
wait there. When the guard opens the door, blast the unsuspecting punk with a

Once you enter through the doorway, make a mad dash straight ahead and dive
into the grass. Equip your SVD and look behind you. If the guard near the
weapons storage room didn't see you, then snipe him. Look to the left towards
the two trucks. There are two guards patrolling between them. Snipe both of
them, then shake all of the guards' bodies. Head near the trucks, then walk
down the path. Crawl in the grass, and you should see vents along the wall.
Crawl in a vent and take the left way to the dead end. Collect the Oyama Face
Paint, then head back outside. Equip the Scientist Camoflage. Go back to the
weapons storage room that was near the entrance. Get all the supplies, then
exit. head west and go into the side door with the scientist outfit on.

You must keep the scientist outfit when in front of guards at all time. If
they become suspicious, press triangle to fix your glasses to look nerdy. You
can indeed kill the guards, but while behind them you must unequip the
outfit, use CQC on the guard, then switch back to the scientist outfit before
anyone notices. Stay away from scientist though, because they know there
fellow workers, and they know that you aren't one! Head down the corridor,
then go north. Kill your first guard up ahead, then enter the room with large
stone pillars. Take out the next guard, then descend the stairs.

make eye contact with the scientist on the otehr end of the room. Proceed
closer to him, trying to face the other way. Once close enough, as in close
enough to perform a CQC, use the Cigar Gas Spray on him. He will be knocked
out. Open a cabinet and stuff his body inside. If you're a risktaker, you can
silently knife him to death. Head through the next doorway. More scientists!
Once again, don't face them and inch closer and closer to take them out. If a
scientist notices you, switch camos and tranq him before he signals the alarm
at the end of the room. Dash into the next room and through the next doorway
for another cinema. A drunken Granin will give you a key to the warehouse
back in Ponizovje. Once the cinema is over, backtrack all the way back to the
first floor. If there are any guards, simply CQC their arses.

This place can be tricky, since there is a balcony showing the first floor.
That means that guards from the 1st floor can also see you. The hallway to
the north is a good place to take the enemies out. CQC the one patrolling up
there, then enter the first door. Enter the library and pick up the Mk22
Suppressor. Now enter the door above the library. This is the bathroom. As
strange as this sounds, this is a good hiding place, because you can hide in
the stalls. The third one, though, is locked. Punch and kick the last stall
door to break it off of it's hinges. Enter to find the Fly Camo. Exit and go
back out and walk back down the hallway, and go west down the hallway this
time. Turn south and head east once at the end. Enter the first door to find
some good food supplies. Enter the next door to end up on the balcony.
Collect the book. Head back to the bathroom, but instead of going inside, go
down the western hallway. Collect the ammo and head into the balcony which is
past the next door. Jump down to end up on the interior wall area, where the
vents were. Take off the scientist outfit and equip a proper camo. There are
more guards, so take them out. Around three reside near the main entrance, so
chuck a grenade their way. Exit the interior and exterior walls to end up
back to Graniny Gorki South.

Once you enter the area, another cinema will occur. A dart will come your
way, finding it's way into Snake's thigh. As he hobbles behind a tree, he's
bombarded by more arrows. A menacing laughter comes from the trees as a lanky
shape drops to the ground. It's the next member of the Cobra Unit: The Fear.
With his crossbow aimed, he's poised and ready to fight!

|_|???|_|???????????? ????????????|_|???|_|
As soon as the battle starts, cure yourself of the arrow wound and the
poisoning. THe Fear will go invisible, leaping from tree to tree like a
monkey. The only way to fight this goon is to use Thermal Goggles. Keep them
equipped at all times. Since The Fear maneuvers around the area with such
speed, he will always be able to see you. Heck, you can equip any camo you
want, and it won't help you in this battle. As The Fear hops along the
treetops, search him down in First-Person Mode and blast him once he stops
momentarily. He will unload his crossbow and fire. It's pretty hard to see or
know when he's attacking you with your Thermal Goggles on, because it's
really hard to hear the arrows. You can listen for him pulling the arrow
back, kinda like how a bow and arrow sounds like. Always open the cure menu
to check if you have any injuries. The traps from earlier are still in tact,
so don't move around a lot.
Continue blasting at him with an AK-47 or XM16E1 as he is in the trees. After
a while of fighting, The Fear will start complaining and searches for food.
He will sometimes shoot food from the treetops, then hop onto the ground and
eat it to regain stamina. If you have any poisonous animals (living, that is)
throw them on the ground, and they may attack The Fear as he gathers food.
Sometimes, he will eat rotten food and his stamina will go down and he will
be stunned. He will also become uninvisible for a short time, so use that as
an opportunity to take him out and continue pummeling him with some sort of
an automatic weapon. Run up to him with your M37 shotgun and blast him as an
added bonus. He doesn't have many other attacks or tactics other than
shooting you with arrows. The Fear will go down rather quickly; he's probably
the easiest of the Cobra Unit. If you depleted all of his stamina, the Spider
Camouflage will be yours. That's the end of Mission 5! Head back to Ponizovje
Warehouse to continue your mission.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~SITHDUKE says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
What i do first is just to the left of your startling location is a tree with
two mushrooms and a 2nd tree with a 3rd mushroom just left of that one. These
are ideal to keep The Fear from collecting his own food and regenerating his
stamina. If you shoot/Kick them from the tree's base he'll automatically want
your food instead of huntign his own. When the Fear consumes them he'll be
poisoned and you'll also have enough time to kick him a few times while he's
collecting the food.
This is an ideal strategy if you're going for a stamina kill.

Once again, you are in the warehouse, but for a short time. Continue down the
first flight of stairs. A guard may be partrolling the stairs below you. If
he didn't see you, try to get him with a tranquilizer dart. If you want to
speed out of the whole warehouse, jump off of the balcony on the top floor
and run south to the entrance stairs, run up, and go through the orange-red
door. There are two or three guards patrolling the warehouse; it isn't
particularly hard to get by them.

This a fairly large area, and it's pretty hard to navigate through. If you
take the right path, it's much easier and you won't have to deal with as many
guards. It's one long narrow passage. Be very careful, because this dense
jungle makes the guards really hard to find. Put on the Thermal Goggles here
and there to check if any camouflaged guards are nearby. The Anti-Personnel
Sensor really helps here too. Crawl throught a lot of the area, as you can
easily hide in the tall grass and numerous tree trunks. Equipping the Thermal
Goggles and sniping guards far away defeats the caution throughout some of
the area. Cautiously take out guard by guard while crawling in the tall grass
with a well camouflaged outfit. When you get to a large area, equip the
Thermal Goggles. There will be a pitfall trap waiting right in front of the
ammo. Navigate around the pit and get the ammo. When the road forks, take the
right path.

Once you enter the wooded area, two guards will patrol the area. Quickly find
tall grass to crouch in and let the guards pass by. The second one kinda
slacks off and stays behind; he's the radioman. Take him out first, because
if not, he will signal for help. CQC him, then if the second guard possibly
hears or sees you, take him out however you want. Since the radioman is dead,
you can alert guards and they won't call for backup. Go north and stop at the
first right. Start going east a little bit, but not all the way out into the
clearing. Check out the cabin; guards are stationed on the porch. Take out
all of them and go north again until you can go no further. Go left and slide
down the hill towards the small shack. Collect the food inside, and blow it
up if you'd like with the TNT. Go into the main cabin once the guards on the
porch are killed. Collect all of the items, ranging from weapons to ammo, and
exit the area. This time, take the north path in Svyatogornyj West.

If you killed The End back in Ponizovje Warehouse: Exterior, you will have to

| |___| |____________ ____________| |___| |
| | | | | |
|_|???|_|???????????? ????????????|_|???|_|
Okay, here is one of the highpoints of the game. This battle isn't just
a "he's there, you're here, shoot each other" battle, it's a test of
endurance. You must be patient with this battle; don't be surprised if this
battle takes up to an hour long, even on Normal Mode. This fight actually
takes place along three humongous areas, all part of a dense jungle:
Sokrovenno South, Sokrovenno West, and Sokrovenno North. As you may know
already, The End is a master sniper, so you guessed it: this is a sniping
battle. The forest is VERY dense, and The End will be stationed at specific
sniper spots to fight you. You can view those sniper spots on the map.
Speaking of map, you must use this map constantly to win. The End actually
shoots tranquilizer darts, which decrease your stamina rapidly if not cured.
A simple survival knife will fully cure you, but if your stamina runs out,
The End will capture you and throw you in jail all the way back at Graniny
Gorki Lab. All enemies will reappear normally, so you can't just simply run
back here.
Because of stamina being such a big importance in this battle, you will find
many different animals in the three areas, which respawn once killed. You can
even shoot and kill The End's pet parrot, which can be found in a tree near
the weapon supply shack in Sokrovenno South. Thermal Goggles are a hassle to
use, because there is so much animal and plant life that actually sensing The
End will be near impossible. He is also a master of camouflage, so
occasionally you will be shot at without even knowing where he is. Some pure
giveaways is his weapon. The scope on his sniper rifle will reflect sunlight,
possibly giving away his location. If it starts raining, you know that the
old man has fallen asleep. Run around the areas to all the sniper points,
listening for noises. He snores quite loudly, so if you hear snores, look at
the closest sniper points to get the upper hand. If The End ever says
something, that means he's about to or already fired at you. Once the first
of his shots has been fired, open the map. His location will be revealed as a
red circle. That should help you find out where he is and target him. You
have one of two options: snipe him if you know his exact location OR run
towards his sniper point and attack him close hand or hold him up.
To hold up The End, point your gun at him, and Snake will tell him to freeze.
He will refuse and run away. If you hold him up one more time in another
point, he will give you his Moss Camouflage. If you want the camo, you can
also get it by depleating his stamina. This can be really easy, since the old
geezer loses stamina over time, running from point to point. Once you think
it's low enough, unload your tranq gun on him to take out his stamina
completely. But beware, if The End's health or stamina is low, he will use
the power of the forest (yeah, sounds cheesy) to regain all of his
health/stamina!Prevent this by not letting him out of your sight. This can be
a pain to do, because he's actually quick. Look around on the ground. The End
leaves footprints in mud, so you can actually track him down for the whole
battle. It's pretty hard, but always stay on his tail. Very rarely will you
actually encounter The End running from sniper point to sniper point. I'm
glad to say that I did at one point in the fight. If you ever end up being
close to the guy or see him in the corner of your eye, unload on him. If
close enough, wail on him with shotgun bullets, or snipe him if he's afar.
The End also throws stun grenades at you in a ground battle and runs away. If
he steps in mud, you can track him easier. Ammo will be scarce, and there's
limited ammo in the weapons supply room in Sokrovenno South. (I ended up
having only one SVD bullet left when the battle was over!) This is the type
of battle where you either love or hate. Some inexperienced players may have
a lot of trouble in this battle, where experts may find themselves restarting
the game just to replay the battle! With a lot of time and patience, The End
will meet his end. The mission will also come to an end, where Mission 7
starts up after you exit, which is found in the northeast corner of
Sokrovenno North.
And because I found this battle to be incredibly unique and innovative, I
have some users give me their tips, tricks, and strategies for this stunning
battle.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~LuigiandYoshiFan says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"Wear the Mask, the scientist suit, torch, and any other ways of making
yourself visible. Then when you've got his attention check the map. It will
give you his location. When you go there however he will have moved. Either
snipe him with the SVD you found or run as fast as you can to his current
location then hunt him down via thermal gogs. After that you wanna whip out
your favorite weapon (in terms of accuracy and damage) this way you don't
have to worry about hunting blindly and several times."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~cheatachu72 says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"Spin around in circles until The End shoots at you. Get down, get to where
he is, hold him up, get moss camo, get three headshots, turn away while he
throws a flashbang, follow footprints with thermal goggles, rinse and repeat.
The Fake Death Pill works once by letting him come to you and getting a free
hit for you. I went into the weapons shack using the FDP 3 times and it
screwed up his lines. Five minutes later he said, 'Think I can't tell the
difference between a Fake Death and a Real one?'"
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~solidhatzi says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"wear thermal goggles and u will see his footsprin[ts that u can follow and
use the directional mic to hear his breathing and know where is him"
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~Da Rattleshake says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"Run around like a lunatic, wait for him to shoot, find cover, look at his
position on the map (which is now marked because he took a shot), find a safe
place that you can see his position from, pop on your thermal goggles and
blast him with your gun of choice. Rinse and repeat."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~Graeme777 says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"Always shoot him 3 times.
And learn the map. Some places are better than others which The End will use
more often. Also watch out for the light reflecting off his scope. Sometimes
it can be a full blown lens flare effect, other times just a little flash."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~Drevius says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"torch him"
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~VictimToDie4 says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"my way of taking down the end was to use the Directional Microphone to find
out what general direction hes in then go towards him using the crawl stalk.
Then reapeat the directional microphone part again to pinpoint even closer.
When you do find him get right up behind him and wait. I usually go for the
stamina kill so i wait untill his stamina goes down to the point where he
regains him stamina. Then i shoot him. After that i just keep finding him and
just take him out. Not the quickest way but works for me."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~sephirothWEAPON says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"When using the Dir. Mic, listen for snoring.
Or the cheap, never fight him way. Advance the clock 10 to 14 days (PS2
clock) and he will die. Or, when you first see him wheelchaired around, you
can take him out.
Stamina Kill - Mosin Nagant
Hold Up (Be slow, not too close) - Moss Camo."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~GinsuKnight says:~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"when it rains, it seems that his stamina goes down all on its own, and
sometimes makes him fall asleep. I was in the river map (west area?) and saw
Z's floating up from him almost all the way across the map. just ran the long
way around and held him up before he awoke. Worked well...course, he snuck up
on ME about 5 minutes later and i got thrown in the pokey.
Oh, and dont forget that using a big/loud gun (m63 comes to mind) to hold him
up works well too. He refused to give up the camo, so i shot around his head
a dozen times, and he gave it up on the spot."

As soon as you enter the area, switch to Choco Chip camo and Desert Face
Paint. You may need it for a while, so use it now to be safe. Get the itmes
in the corner, then go west and slide down the hill. Kill the cobra that's in
front of you; watch out for it's bite. When you come upon the large cliffside
area, take a couple steps out in the open. Equip your SVD and look on the
right wall. There should be a soldier standing on the high ledge. Snipe him
first; he has an RPG-7: a very powerful rocket launcher. Once you snipe him,
slowly proceed north. Guards are pacing the area in low trenches. Once you
are out of their sight, go in the trench and CQC them. There are only about
two or three of them, but if they call backup, many more guards come.
If they do call for backup, run to the large boulder on the western side of
the cliffside. There's some crawl space to hide in. You can chuck grenades at
a group of guards' feet to take them all out in one blow. You might want to
stay low, because the reinforcements have RPG-7s. Once everyone's gone,
collect the goods by shaking the bodies. Vultures will be feasting on the
dead bodies, so if you're low on food, these guys are sitting ducks. Take
them out as well, and collect more supplies scattered around the area before
you proceed to the second mountainous area.

This is an extremely hard area if you won't sneak by and just kill everyone
in sight. If you destroyed the helicopter back in Bolshaya Past Base with the
TNT, then hovercraft guards patrol the area. Usually one patrols the area and
the rest are used for backup if needed. Equip the SVD when you enter and aim
to the left a bit. If you look up the pathway, there should be a guard
patrolling right where you would walk up next. Snipe him, then go north and
walk up the said pathway. There is a cave found here that's pretty good for
hiding. Enter through the doorway to find some items and a cobra. Avoid it's
bite and kill/tranq it. There is also a crawlspace that leads to the side of
the mountain, which is also a good escape route. DO NOT KILL THE HOVERCRAFT
GUARD. If you do, people will radio for backup, and a seemingly endless wave
of hovercraft guards and normal guards will come to take you out. It's not
worth it. Just avoid him, as you sneak up the pathway. Once you exit the cave
and go east up the other path, duck behind the rock. If there are any guards,
your best strategy is to tranq them and kill them with your knife or silenced
pistol.
You will reach a turret. There really is no need to use it, because if the
hovercraft guards hears you, then you're pretty much done. Same with the
helicopter; if you take it out, another one will come. Just ignore it and
proceed north, towards the three bunkers. Make sure the hovercraft is far
away before you snipe the patrolling guards up near the bunkers. Check all of
the bunkers for a plethora of items and weapons, including the RPG-7. There
is one more guard, well, guarding the exit. Take him out by any means. If he
alerts anyone, you can easily escape in time before any other guard sees you.
Exit the area by proceeding north.

There's alway a helicopter patrolling the area here, no matter what. It can
be handy if you "use" it correctly. If you want to snipe enemies or run, make
sure to do it when the helicopter is above you, so the helicopter drowns out
any sound you make. This proves essential for sniping guards here. First off,
there is a lone guard walking down towards you when you enter the area. Hide
behind the crates at the start, then CQC him. Snipe any visible guards who
are looking off cliffsides or ledges. Once again, make sure you snipe them
when the helicopter if overhead. To be safe, travel through the trenches to
reach the shacks in this area. There are mounted turrets, but DO NOT SHOOT
DOWN THE HELICOPTER! THe alert meter will come up, and the helicopter will
strike back, using machine gun fire and a barrage of missiles to take you
down. Helicopters will probably kill you, and even if you do destroy it,
another one will arrive to take it's place. It's a lose-lose situation for
you, so just avoid the thought at all costs. With that said, there really
isn't much use of the turrets, unless you have a good eye and decide to save
SVD ammo and take out the guards that way.
The shack to the right has some ammo and grenades. Proceed through the
trenches. Most of the guards stay up on the land, so in certain parts you can
jump out and get them. It's better to just avoid them. You should reach
another shack on your way to the northern side of the area. This place has a
lot more ammo, TNT, and Claymores. Leave, and head west through the trenches.
The top shack has a bunch of medical supplies, including bandages, suture
kits, and ointment. Head est from the medical shack through the other trench.
Keep going east, then go south with the trenches. The winding path ends up
going north again, where there will be a doorway. Open the door and go inside
to have another cutscene with Eva.

Eva will give you the Key B in the cinema. You will end up here once the
cinema is over. There is almost nothing to do here. You can check out Groznyj
Grad from here though. You can even snipe some guards, but they send a
helicopter to take you out. Don't even bother with them. Just go back into
the cabin. You can find some noodles and a lot of ammo in the rooms. Exit the
cabin and head back to the mountaintop.

Flamethrower guards, yay! You heard me, now guards with flamethrowers have
been positioned on the mountaintop. No worries, you won't be here for long.
Go south from the cabin through the trenches. When the trench goes west, keep
on the lookout for a flamethrower guard patrolling close by. You can either
take him out the quiet, sneaky way, or you can shoot the fuel tank on his
back for a quick kill. If you do shoot the fuel tank, it'll explode,
revealing your hiding space. Choose either way you want. After taking him
out, go up the ledge on the southern side of where you were just standing to
get out of the trenches. Head down south a little bit and you should find a
red door. The key that Eva gave you opens that door. Unlock the red door and
go inside.

Switch to the Splitter camo and face paint for now. Go down the stairs and
you should see bats hanging on the ceiling. They're just waiting for you to
take them down. Free and easy food for the taking. Go down the next flights
of stairs and head south to the dead end for some various ammo. Go north
through the tunnel to find some medical supplies. Go east for some more ammo,
then west, north and down the stairs. In the cutscene, Snake will be
patrolling the dark corridors. He hers a loud, clanking noise, but he can't
tell where. The Fury comes around a corner, and blasts his flamethrower
towards the ceiling, dropping bats like flies. He flies up on his jetpack and
shoots right towards Snake. Boss time!

The Fury will fly right over your head once the battle starts. Run to the
north and get on the ledge. You will be fighting this battle in six long
corridors. They are very dark, so thermal goggles are important here. Pace
the ledge, looking down each corridor for The Fury. Make sure you have your
thermal goggles on to help you spot his black suit in the darkness. When you
find him, equip your SVD and shoot him about three times. He will fall to the
ground and curse. Run to the other side quickly, because when he gets up,
he'll charge to where the gunshot was emitted and blast the area with his
flamethrower! Never fight him close up unless you're good with the knife. You
can actually slice open his suit, stunning him and making him get hurt by the
flames. The Fury is
surprisingly quick, too. If you ever find him right behind you, dive roll
into him to knock him down, then get the heck away from you.
Run down one of the corridors and just try to make things hard for the guy.
Try to stay away from the south side of the area, because it's a pit which
makes things a lot easier for The Fury. He can easily charge into you can
watch as you go careening off of the pit. After you shoot him a good five to
six times, he'll get really angry. He won't pace the corridors anymore, he'll
use his jetpack to fly around all of the corridors, giving you barely any
time to snipe him. If he ever gets you with his flamethrower, dive to get the
flames off of your body and cure yourself with ointment and a bandage. If at
any point in the battle, The Fury sees you far away, he'll engage a
countdown. If he gets to zero, he'll activate his jetpack and use himself as
a battering ram, crashing right into you. Right when you start hearing him
count, run inbetween the corridors.
There are also a lot of barrels here, so Use them to your advantage. If you'd
like to save bullets, shoot a barrel that's close to him, instead of shooting
him up to three times. Barrels even damage the guy more. When you deplete at
least three-quarters of his health, his patterns are nearly unpredictable.
Once he finds you, he'll usually point that out to you, by saying something
like, "There you are!". If you hear that, dive roll into him. Since he
travels so fast now, close combat is all you can do now. Right when he gets
up, pump him with your shotgun before he can whip out his flamethrower. He'll
say that his suit is ripped, leaving him momentarily stunned. Lash out on him
at this point and try to run and hide. He'll be smoked in no time. (Get it:
smoked? Hehehe...)
With that battle done, there's no more Cobras left (other than The Boss, of
course). After the cinema though, the tunnel is sealed off, so no
backtracking for you! Proceed forward, collecting the medical supplies and
get out of this dang tunnel!

When you start in this insanely huge area (it's composed of several parts),
you will be near a stack of crates. Collect the items on the lower floor then
jump on top of the boxes. A guard will be patrolling very close nearby.
Crouch on top of the highest box and tranq him when his back is turned. Kill
him, and you might as well leave his body there; there aren't any enemies
patrolling nearby. Go east until you reach a truck. Bang on the back of the
truck to attract a nearby guard, and wait for him to walk around the truck to
the back of it. Go around the front of the truck and get behind him when he's
investigating where the noise came from. CQC him and leave his body there as
well.
Now turn around and go north, past the large storage sheds. A guard will be
patrolling the north side. Use the sheds to hide behind him and CQC the enemy
when you have the oportunity. Dash to the east behind the three sheds. Take
out the next guard patrolling those sheds. Go through the northwest door in
the cornet to head towards the northwest quadrant.

If you happen to see "zzz" on the screen, then a sleeping dog is nearby.
Tiptoe past them to avoid waking them up nad making things harder for you.
Hide behind the first armored cars. Once guard is standing still on the left
side of the cras on the far west. Snipe or tranq him, then go north past the
dog. Take out two more guards by sniping them. They are right next to each
other, so one is bound to see you if you get close. Go up the stairs on the
right for some ammo, then descend them and continue north. The north shack
has some nice ammo and TNT, so stock up. Go all the way back down to where
you entered. It's best to clear out all of the areas before proceeding any
further. Go to the eastern door near where you came in.

Upon entering, hide behind the structure. From here, you can snipe about 4 of
the guards patrolling this area, which makes things a lot easier. If anyone
calls reinforcements, head east and wait at the door behind the shed. When
people come through the door, whip out your RPG-7 and let them all have it.
Keep doing this until all the reinforcements are dead. Go east from the shed
until you reach another shed. From there, go north and take out the guard
around the corner. Go into the shack to get some food and go back south. You
should be right in front of a door; go inside it.

back of the building and eliminate another patrolling guard. Don't go through
the alleyway, and do not pick up the box there! Save it for later, when you
really need it. Head back to where you took out the first guard to find
another one. Duck behind the metal rods and CQC him when he turns around. Go
ALL THE WAY BACK to Groznyj Grad Northwest and hop inside the truck at the
far north of the area. Equip Cardboard Box A to go to the weapons lab.

That's major Raikov; you must follow him. He will go into the room on the
west side. Wait for him until he leaves and goes up the stairs. Make sure to
stay out of the room Raikov goes in. There's a scientist in there, and just
like Graniny Gorki Lab, if one sees you, they will alert the guards. Follow
him up the stairs when he leaves and into the upstairs room. He will walk
south near a bunch of lockers. Keep on his tail and unequip the uniform to

a locker. You will get his uniform. You can press Triangle to salute to
guards when they salute to you. Equip the Officer Uniform and the Raikov Mask
(you got it in the beginning of the game) and enter the southwest door.

Go down the long hallway and past the locked door (remember that door). Go
north and through the next door. Two guards will be guarding the next door.
Salute to them and they will let you pass into Sokolov's chamber. Entering
the room triggers a long cutscene. Volgin enters the room after a long
conversation between Snake and Sokolov. He beats up Snake after finding out
that he's not the real Raikov. Snake is sent to the Torture Room.

In the cinema, make sure to hold L2 and/or R2 so Snake doesn't take damage
from Volgin. After the cinema, Snake is trapped in a prison cell with a guard
keeping a close eye on him. You actually have a number of ways to escape:
{Option 1}: In the previous cutscene, if you pressed R1 at the desired time,
you saw The Sorrow holding up a sign with a radio signal on it. That radio
signal is 144.75. Use it to open the cell door. The guard, confused, rushes
in. You can now proceed to fork him to death (I've always wanted to say
that!).
{Option 2}: Use a Fake Death Pill to "die". The guard will open the cell door
and inspect Snake. use the Revival Pill to wake up, then kill the guard.
{Option 3}: The guard will throw food into Snake's cell. Like the hardass
that you are, simply throw back the food at him. He will eat the food
instead. Occasionally, the food is rotten, and the sentry will hurry off to
the little guard's room. Dial in the radio frequency, and go to the bathroom
and take out the guard by surprise. I don't reccommend this option, because
the food isn't always rotten.
{Option 4}: This is just like Option 3, well, kinda. Proceed to throw back
the guard gives to you. If the food isn't rotten, he will consume three or
four of them. A funny cutscene will start, with the guard talking about his
family. He holds up a picture of his family. When the R1 icon comes up, press
it to look at the back of the card to see the radio frequency: 144.75. He
will also give you Cigar Gas Spray. Why? I don't know. When the scene ends,
stand as close to the bars as you can and use the gas on the sentry. He will
fall asleep, and you can open the door and fork him to death.
{Option 5}: This one is incredibly simple, but lame and boring. Crawl under
the bed and hide there for a bit. The idiotic guard will wonder where you
went and will panic. He will open the door and go inside to look for you.
Crawl out from under the bed and kill him with your trusty fork.
Leave the facility by going through the room right next to your cell, exiting
through the southern door, and going through the second door on the left. Now
you'll be back in Groznyj Grad Southeast. All the enemies will reappear, but
hurry through the areas instead of taking them out. Don't even bother
tranquing them. Go through the north door, then go through the east door when
in the northeast section. You will end up in the northwest section. Go near
the truck where you went inside to get to the weapons lab. Instead, hug the
left wall and go through the small opening. Crawl under the pipes and open
the trap door on the ground north from where you entered. This leads to the
sewers.

Head down the stairs, collecting ammo and items as you go. On the floor, go
north through the sewage and muck. When you reach a dead end, crawl through
the space on the left side. There will probably be guard dogs on each end, so
whip out your SAA to take them out. The right side contains some SAA Bullets.
Once at the end of the corridor, crawl through the space on the right wall.
You will be in a section with a lot more water, enabling you to swim and dive
in it. Collect the styptic and food on the bottom floor under the water. You
will have to go under another crawl space on the left, so walk through until
more bars block your path, like the other passage.
Crawl through the hole on the right and continue going east. Watch out for
the guard dogs here; take them out with your gun. Go north towards the light,
and another cinema will be triggered. Snake is cornered by Ocelot and some
guards. In front of Snake are the bad guys, and behind Snake is a waterfall.
He jumps off of the waterfall to avoid Ocelot and swims down a river. He
meets a strange foe, whom you might have seen several times before in the
game. He's The Sorrow, and he's one strange foe.

This really isn't a boss fight, but since there is a boss meter, I guess it's
an exception. The funny thing is that the boss meter is already empty! That's
because The Sorrow is a ghost, and everyone knows that you can't kill a
ghost. The Sorrow will resurrect EVERY SINGLE ENEMY YOU HAVE KILLED! That
means that if you're a stealth master and haven't killed many people, then
this "battle" will be easy. If you're like me and end up killing over 500
enemies at this point, then this might take a while. As you tread upstream,
ghosts will be coming towards you. Some will merely walk past you, ignoring
you completely. Most of them, on the other hand, try to get their revenge and
take out Snake. If Snake touches a ghost, then his life meter will start to
get drained. Ghosts are slow, so they are pretty easy to maneuver around.
The Sorrow also shoots out strange beams of energy. Technically, they don't
hurt you, but it knocks Snake down. If you get knocked down with a group of
ghosts around you, you'll be hurting. The beam is incredibly slow when shot,
so you should have no trouble moving to the other side of the river and
dodging it. You can shoot the ghosts to momentarily stun them, as they emit
an ear-piercing scream. That proves to be very useful when a wall of ghosts
is moving towards you. You will also come across the bosses as you make your
way through. They aren't any different from the normal ghosts. Just shoot
them and proceed. At the end of the river, you will come upon The Sorrow's
corpse. After a couple of seconds, Snake will drop dead. Don't continue
though, open your item screen and use a Revival Pill. It was just a lame
trick by The Sorrow. After you use the Revival Pill, the "battle" ends. You
get the Spirit Camouflage for beating the ghastly Cobra member.

You should have little problem with this area if you removed the transmitter
already. If not, Ocelot guards will swarm the area. Go east past the small
stream to go on the other side of it. Go north and you will reach a log. Go
across it and you will end up on the other side of the stream again. Continue
north up to the waterfall. When you get to it, walk around on the right side
along the ledge to get behind it into the cave.

Eva will meet up with Snake in the cave. After the cutscene, you will have
your backpack and Key C. Now you will have all of your camo, weapons, and
food. Joy! Collect the Disinfectant and the Mk22 Suppressor in the cave.
Proceed through the tunnel at the north end of the cave. THere are items and
ammo in each alcove of the tunnel. Collect them all, and don't miss the ones
at the dead end. Go up the ladder back into Graznyj Grad.
