Plant chapter: Angry characters: -------------------------------- When you are covering E.E. with the sniper rifle, shoot a lot of birds. They will contact you on the CODEC. The next time you try to save, Rose will get mad at you. Plant chapter: Emma comments: ----------------------------- When you are sniping the guards to get Emma across the oil fence, get Snake to snipe for you. Use the directional microphone to listen to Emma talk to herself. She says things about how she thinks Raiden is cute. Defeating the Metal Gear RAYS: ------------------------------ Use the following strategy under the hard difficulty setting. In the first part, the organization of the machines allows you to win easier if it is done fast. Quickly hit the machine in the middle, then hit the machine in the right corner, followed by the one in the left corner -- always one leg and one head, so that it starts again. Do this three times and on the fourth quickly select which machine you want to fight and hit it. In the second part, run towards to avoid the machine's attack. Stay in the middle to prevent being attacked by homing missiles and getting stomped. If you get in position and can hit it, attack fast but concentrate on the head. The position makes it more difficulty but you have two chances. When the machine near attacks quickly escape from it. If you stay exactly in the front the others, the machines will hardly attack. During the beam attack, quickly avoid it and use the Stinger. To detect the beam, note that the near machine will face your horizontal line and nod before attacking. At that moment, avoid. After the near machine is defeated the two others will usually prepare to approach you. Try to guess your next opponent and take his life down and hit the other consecutively. Note: If you get far from the machines and go back, the near machine will usually launch horizontal homing missiles. Watch what the near machine is doing or wait for its attack to become safe to quickly avoid it. Do not run forward until you are safe or the machine will get you. Defeating Solidus: ------------------ In the final battle with Solidus, before he sheds the tentacles from his suit, you can run off the side of the building and hang on the ledge. Solidus will come over and say "What are you doing?" and go for an overhead double sword strike. When he does this, press the button to climb back up and Solidus's attack will go through you, giving you a free shot at him. This can also be done to avoid his homing missiles, but you have to climb back up at just the right time to avoid all four. Defeating Vamp: --------------- As soon as the fight begins, run over to Vamp and get as close as possible to him without falling into the water. Quickly equip the stinger missile launcher and begin to constantly bombard him with missiles. Tap the button as fast as possible to defeat him in about fifteen seconds. Choking enemies: ---------------- A silent and reliable method for knocking out an enemy is to choke them until they lose consciousness. However, this technique has an extremely high chance of "accidental death" due to the enemy's neck breaking. It takes eleven chokes including the initial grab to eliminate the enemy. Therefore, choking the enemy nine to ten times will result in the enemy being "knocked out". Codec comments: --------------- When playing as Raiden in the Plant chapter, go into strut C after the intermission sequence where Vamp kills the SEALS. Go into the women's bathroom, open a stall, then go into first person view. Look at the toilet. This may require a few times attempts. Call the colonel and he and Rose will be mad at you and Rose will not let you save the game. You can also go into the men's bathroom and call the colonel when looking at the urinal and he will excuse Rose. Guard with red eyes: -------------------- Whenever you kill a guard and shoot his eyes, they normally will not get bloody. However, there is a guard in the Plant chapter where this does not happen. After you have defeated the Harrier you will proceed to a path on the side of one Shell. You should find a guard on the roof that urinates off of it. Use your silenced AK to shoot him down. This is very difficult, but you can have a chance to shoot his head when he speaks about his urge to urinate. If you miss the first time, shoot the wall under him. He will walk to the noise, then return and begin talking again, giving you another chance. When he falls, approach his corpse and shoot his eyes, which still will be open. They will have blood in them. Knock out guard with cigarette: ------------------------------- Have Snake or Raiden put a cigarette in his mouth. Then, hold up an enemy and move as close as possible to him. He will start to cough. After he coughs about four or five times, he will fall and become stunned. More air and grip: ------------------ To make your O2 or GRIP gauge decrease slower, make sure you have full health. Use Rations to restore your health if needed. Waking the President: --------------------- In the Plant chapter in the Extreme and European Extreme modes, you have to wake up the President. To do this, throw a stun grenade at the wall directly in front of the elevator. When he wakes up, go to the wall and put your back against it. Then, find a location where there are no crates and keep knocking. When he gets there, run to the place where you have to shoot out the Nikita. That will distract him and move him from the electric box. Bird talk: ---------- Go to B2 of the Shell 1 Core. Eliminate all guards and find the caged parrot. You can teach it to say "You must be Ames" by pointing the Directional Mic at it and pressing Action several times. Firing different weapons at the bird will also cause it to say new things. For example, Coolant Spray will cause the bird to say "This sucks". When you are in the computer room on B1 of the Shell 1 Core with guards in it, if you shoot the bird, he will say "Enemy spotted, send reinforcements" and the game will enter Alert mode. Scared woman: ------------- In Shell 1 Core: Main Hall, go to the flag pole. Put the D Mic up and press [Action] near the woman. Raiden should ask her if she is Ames. Look at her and the floor near her to see that it starts turning yellow. Secret passage: --------------- In the Holds 2 room, go all the way to the left to find a hatch. Open it, and you will climb down into a small area. Crouch and go through the vent on the ground. You will eventually see a gun clip fall through and a man will start talking. His shadow will be on the ground. Wait there until his shadow leaves, then move through the area. After you get past that, you will reach an opening and an intermission sequence will begin. After it ends, crawl through a vent on the right side of the small room. After you crawl through, you will find a ladder. Climb up the ladder, and it will lead you to a small perch. Look down at the bottom of Metal Gear RAY, and you will see Ocelot standing there. He will then go away. You can keep doing this and experiment with things to do with Ocelot. Defeating Genola: ----------------- When you play the VR Missions as Metal Gear Solid 1 Snake, you will have to fight Genola. To defeat him, simply aim the Stinger Missile Launcher up and look for a lock-on square. Lock on to it and shoot a missile. When it hits, Mech Genola will appear and defeat Genloa. Domino effect with guards: -------------------------- In the holds, stand next to any guard and do the punch, punch, kick combo. They will go flying, knocking down almost half of the guards. Also grab the guards by the projectors and hold them up. Then, do the combo for longer distance. Knock out guard with cigarette: ------------------------------- Have Snake or Raiden put a cigarette in his mouth. Then, hold up an enemy and move as close as possible to him. He will start to cough. After he coughs about four or five times, he will fall and become stunned. Choking enemies: ---------------- A silent and reliable method for knocking out an enemy is to choke them until they lose consciousness. However, this technique has an extremely high chance of "accidental death" due to the enemy's neck breaking. It takes eleven chokes including the initial grab to eliminate the enemy. Therefore, choking the enemy nine to ten times will result in the enemy being "knocked out". Panicked guard: --------------- Go to an area where there is only one soldier (such as the Strut E heliport). Shoot the soldier with the tranquilizer. Next, shoot him with the SOCOM gun in the arm. Take out your tranquilizer and shoot his radio so he cannot use it. Wake him up by spraying him with Coolant. When he wakes up, run and hide somewhere for a few seconds. After that, run in front of him. He will be alerted and try to radio in. After two attempts to radio in, he will run to find another comrade to help. Hold up a guard. Afterwards, shoot him in the arm, the leg, then his radio. Stand in front of him and disarm you weapon. He will attempt to call for help, then helplessly limp away. Hints: ------ Go to hostage room in Shell 1 Core and find Jennifer. Note: She does not have a gag. Use your directional microphone two times to ask her. The second time she answers "Stop don't touch me!", because she was violated by guards. Codec comments: --------------- When on the Plant chapter, after getting the Stinger Missiles find an area where there are seagulls . Lock on one of them and fire a missile. The colonel and Rose will call you on the Codec with a funny message.
