INTRODUCTION =============================================================================== I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "why?". Why you ask? Why am I making a FAQ for an older PlayStation game, and one that's oversaturated? Well, there are a few answers for that. One is that yes, Metal Gear Solid is oversaturated, but 70% of the FAQs and Guides for it are either: A) Crap Guides B) Incomplete C) Very Incomplete D) A combination of A and B E) A combination of A an C So I decided to properly show my FAVORITE PLAYSTATION GAME OF ALL TIME some respect. I decided to do a COMPLETE FAQ for Metal Gear Solid, something that the Metal Gear Solid FAQ section at GameFAQs apparently needed. I also hope that this FAQ will bring back some nostagia for a lot of the gamers who played through MGS when it was first released, almost 2 years ago. And I hope this FAQ will inspire all of you HARDCORE gamers out there to pop in MGS in your PlayStation, and play through it again for old times sake. You'll love it. I probably will not update this FAQ at all, except to maybe fix any type of errors, be they grammatical or gameplay related. If anyone can spot any type of mistake in this FAQ, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at one of my e-mail addresses. I will respond to you ASAP, and this I can promise you. Thank you for reading this FAQ of mine, and once again, PLEASE send me any type of mistakes that you may find within this document for Metal Gear Solid. Thank you once again. =) Metal Gear Solid was released in October of 1998, right before Zelda 64 for the Nintendo 64. It was a hype machine. Nobody really thought it would live up to the endless and almost seemingly impossible hype. Well, it did. :) MGS is the best game for the PlayStation, IMHO. The storyline, graphics, sound, and gameplay all weave together seemlessly, and all combine to create one of the most splendid games of all time. =============================================================================== 2.

Prologue =============================================================================== The nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island in Alaska's Fox Archipelago is attacked and captured by Next Generation Special Forces led by members of FOX-HOUND. The terrorists have secured hundreds of nuclear warheads and they're demanding that the government turn over the remains of Big Boss. They warn that if their demands are not met within 24 hours, they'll launch a nuclear weapon. Solid Snake is once again called back to duty in a top-secret mission to deal with the greatest terrorist threat the world has ever seen. First, he must single-handedly infiltrate the nuclear weapons disposal site and rescue two hostages, DARPA Chief Donald Anderson and the President of ArmsTech, Kenneth Baker, and then eliminate the terrorist threat and prevent a nuclear launch. The clock is ticking. Once again, Snake heads into battle...alone. =============================================================================== 6. Walkthrough =============================================================================== +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ DISC 1 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is the walkthrough for the First Disc of Metal Gear Solid. Since the First Disc is much longer than the Second Disc, this Walkthrough will also be longer. Oh, and this walkthrough should only be used for whilst playing on the First Disc of the game itself. Go figure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOCK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right when the game starts out, head back into the water area, and search beneath the steps to find some Rations underwater. Exit the water, and go back up the stairs. Crawl underneath the pipe, then run forward and hug the wall. There is a guard here, so watch out. When the coast is clear, go right and straight ahead until you reach an alcove to the right, near the water. Behind the large crate are some more rations, so take them, then watch out for another guard walking around here. Also, beware of the pools of water in this area, because if you step in them, a guard or guards will hear the sound, and come at you. Don't do this. When you are ready, head north up the right wall until you get to a forklift. There are some Rations near the forklift. Take them, and when the coast is clear again, head over to the elevator (after the other guard gets out of it of course), and you will head up to the Heliport, and watch the opening credits. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HELIPORT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right off the bat, Campbell will contact you via CODEC, and him and Mei Ling will show you the basics of the game. This will take about 3-4 minutes. When it's done, you will take control of Snake again. Look near the elevator to find some Rations. Now run along the left-most edge of the helipad, past the searchlight, and to the left and into the room with a camera. Avoid the camera by crawling, and take the 3 Stun Grenades. Exit the room, and run past the helipad and over to the other side of the Heliport, near the snow and large crates. There is a guard over here, so beware. Run north near the crates, and up towards the stairs leading up. Avoid the security camera, and go up the stairs. Kill the guard up here, then go back downstairs, and back to the other side of the helipad. You should see a truck here. Inside the truck is your first weapon: The SOCOM pistol. This baby has laser sighting as a bonus, so it basically kicks ass. Take it, then go back upstairs and to the area where you killed that guard. Once at the top, you should see a small open ventilation shaft towards the floor. Crawl into it to enter the Tank Hangar: Upper Floor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TANK HANGAR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you have exited the shaft, you will be in the Tank Hangar. There are some Chaff Grenades right behind you, so take them. Use one to disable the nearby camera, and run past it. Run past the first room to the right, and into the second room. Avoid the camera inside, and take the Thermal Goggles that are inside the room. Exit the room. Run along the catwalk around to the last room up here. Go inside it and take the Cardboard Box A and the Chaff Grenades. Leave the room, avoid the camera, and head downstairs. Once downstairs, run around the stairs and take the SOCOM Bullets. To avoid the guard here, crawl underneath the tank nearest to the stairs, and wait for him to pass you. When the coast is clear, enter the elevator, and take down to the Basement B1 and into the Cell Area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CELL AREA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exit the elevator, and head south all the way down. At the bottom, go right and climb the ladder at the end and go into the ventilation shafts. Make your way through the shafts, past an excercising Meryl, and to the end of the shafts, where you will drop down into a cell. After the LONG cut-scene, take the Rations that are underneath the bed, then exit the cell. Uh oh! The guards are attacking you at once. Stand there with your SOCOM equipped, and near the center of the room. After killing the first wave of enemies, head over to the right hand corner, next to the doorway. This makes it almost impossible for the guards to hit you with anything before you can kill them. Run out into the open in between sets of guards to refill on ammo and rations. After the battle, and the cut-scene, head back into the elevator (you should have the Level 1 keycard by now), and head into the B2 Basement: The Armory. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMORY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exit the elevator, and head into the middle room right in front of you. There is a trap along the middle of the path, so if you hear a "click", then you have triggered it, so run away fast. Grab the C4 explosives from inside of the room, then head back up near the elevator. There are 2 collapsable walls here: One on each side of the elevator. Set a C4 explosive on each wall, then detonate them. Enter each of the two hidden rooms. The room to the left of the elevator has some Chaff and Stun Grenades, and the room to the right of the elevator has some more C4 and some more SOCOM bullets. While in the Armory, explore every room here. You should be able to find the Nikita Rocket Launcher, the FA-MAS Assualt Rifle, and a bunch of ammo. Okay, now go south and to the left side of the room (you're left, not Snake's left), and there is another collapsable wall. Blow it up, and go through it. Run down this hallway, and towards the end should be another wall to blow up. Do it, then head through that hole. Once again, there is another wall towards the top of the screen to blow up. NOTE: You can tell collapsable walls because they are dis-colored. Head into that hole in the wall to fight the first boss: Revolver Ocelot. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 1: Revolver Ocelot | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ The first boss in the game. A pretty easy one too. Just remember that you CANNOT use any type of explosives in here, or else the room will explode, and the game will be over. Wait until he starts running, then run in the opposite direction, that way you can meet up with him faster. When your SOCOM laser is locked on him, fire your SOCOM. After around 10 or so shots, he will run away, and your health bar will increase. After the fight, you will talk with Baker. After the LONG conversation, head out of the newly unlocked door, and back into the Armory. Head up to the Elevator, and go back upstairs to the Tank Hanger. At the Tank Hangar, exit the elevator and go right and over to the room that requires a Level 1 Keycard. Use it and slowly enter the room. Sneak up behind the guard and kill him. Now take the SOCOM Supressor. Exit this room, and go right and through the huge exit to the right of the elevator, and outside to the canyon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANYON ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you are in the Canyon, crawl along the ground and pick up all of the Claymore mines that you can. Now run out into the open Canyon to start the second boss fight: The Tank. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 2: Tank | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is the second boss you will face in Metal Gear Solid. It's not really boss, but since your health bar increases after the fight, it is a boss fight. You will be fighting a tank for this fight. Before you begin to fight the boss, collect all of the nearby claymore mines. Approach the tank, and toss a Chaff Grenade at the Tank. This will disable the machine gun fire. Now get close to the tank, and toss a couple of regular Grenades at it, then back away. After about 2-3 hits with your Grenades, you will have blown up the Tank, and your health bar will increase. After the fight, you will get the Level 3 keycard (you also should've gotten the Level 2 Keycard from the Ocelot boss fight). Run to the other side of the canyon, and through the giant doors, and into the Nuclear Building. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR BUILDING ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once inside here, run up the ramp to your left and take the Rations up here. Hop down off the ramp, and run down forward until you get to a door that is 3/4ths of the way closed. Crawl underneath the door, then run left and into the corner that is towards the bottom-left of the screen, all while avoiding any guards and cameras. Take the Chaff Grenades here, then head up the stairs in front of you, and around the corner to the right. Enter the elevator, while still avoiding a guard up here, and go down the the B2 floor. Leave the elevator, and walk into the room straight ahead, but don't step on the electric floor. Equip your Nikita, and shoot it. Use the First-Person mode to control it better. Take it down the hall and to the right, and through the next room, into the room at the end, and into the second room to the right, through the glass. Make it hit the power generator here. If you did it right, the electric floor will stop operating, and it will be safe to walk on. Run down the hallway, and go left at the end. Toss a Chaff Grenade into the room to disable the cameras here, then run into the room, and start exploring the various rooms to your right. The first room has some Body Armor, the second room has some Grenades and C4, the third room has some Nikita Rockets, and the Fourth room has some Night Vision Goggles. There are also some Rations and Chaff grenades in the upper room. Go back to the main hallway, and enter the end room to the right, and take the Gas Mask. When you are ready, go back south and go right and through the door at the end. Head through the two doors, and through the door to Snake's left. Pass through the hallway of corpses, taking anything you can find along the way, then go into the room at the end to fight the third boss: Ninja. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 3: Ninja | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is one of the more difficult, if not annoying boss fights in Metal Gear Solid. The Ninja has many different tactics: He'll turn on his Stealth Camouflage, he'll hide from you, and he'll block your gunfire with his sword. Remember that you cannot use any type of firearms, since he will just block them. You must beat him with your hands and fists. When he turns on his Stealth Camo, use your Thermal Goggles to see him. Attack him with everything you've got (hand-to-hand wise), until you finally bring his health bar down enough that he starts to convulse. Whip out your FA-MAS, and shoot him to keep him away. This will end the boss fight. After the fight, you will recieve the Level 4 Keycard, and your Health Bar will increase as well. After the long cutscene, head back to the elevator and take it to the B1 floor. Your goal here is to find Meryl. She is disguised as a guard on this floor. Run into the room in front of the elevator, and watch for a guard that walks like a chick. Let her see you, and she'll run into the Women's Bathroom. Follow her to start a cut-scene. Afterwards, she'll give you the Level 5 Keycard, and she'll say she's got your back. Use this time to explore the entire floor. Within all of the rooms inside of the big room where you found Meryl, you will find Cardboard Box B, Rations, Medicine, Diazepam, ammo for the SOCOM and FA-MAS, some Stun Grenades, and some more Nikita Rockets. When you are ready, head past the Men's Bathroom, and down the hallway. Enter the room at the end to start the fourth Boss fight: Psycho Mantis. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 4: Psycho Mantis | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Psycho Mantis is another annoying fight. He will control Meryl's mind right off the bat, so knock her out with your fists. When she's down, he'll start to fly across the room. Okay, now take out your controller and insert it into Controller Port 2, that way Mantis won't be able to "read your mind". Avoid his attacks (flying objects), and fire at him with your FA-MAS all you can. After a while, Meryl will get up again, so knock her out again, and continue your attack on Mantis. When you are done, a cut-scene will interrupt the fight. When his is done, your Health Bar will increase again. Once the fight is over, head back to the elevator, go back to the B2 floor, and use the Level 5 Keycard to open the room with the Night Vision Goggles. Take them, then head back to the room where you fought Psycho Mantis, and head through the secret passage he opens up for you, and into the Caves. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAVES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run into the caves, and equip the Night Vision Goggles. Run down to the end of the hallway, and get the Rations and SOCOM bullets from the corners of the hallway. Go back to where you entered this area, and crawl underneath the rock that is directly across from where you entered here. This is an area with plenty of dogs, so watch out. There is also some FA-MAS bullets in this area as well. If you run right immediately, you will find another space to crawl under. Past this space is a hidden room with some Diazepam, and some FA-MAS bullets. Take them, leave this room, and head right and around the corner. Around this area here is another space to crawl under. Find it on the east wall, and crawl underneath it to find Meryl to the right. Run up to her then go through the door that is nearby. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNDERGROUND PASSAGE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Meryl's steps, or run around to the right and past the claymores. If you run forward, Meryl will be shot by a sniper. Now you must backtrack to the Armory and get a Sniper Rifle to save Meryl and to fight the next boss. The PSG1 Sniper Rifle is inside the upper left room in the Armory. Take it, then head back to where Meryl was shot. Once there, you will have to fight the fifth boss: Sniper Wolf. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 5: Sniper Wolf | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ For some reason, this fight is one of the easier fights in the game, just as long as you use plenty of Diazepam. Just equip your PSG1 and your Thermal Goggles, so you can see Sniper Wolf on the tower ahead. When she comes out of hiding, fire at her. If she gets an aim at you, get back up, and run to a different position. After she has died, watch the cut-scene, save your game, and watch your Health Bar go up. After the fight, SAVE YOUR GAME. Now run forward and explore this area. Take whatever you need, then head through the door near the Tower... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TORTURE ROOM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great! Now look what happened! You'll have to endure Revolver Ocelot's torture rack to live, or else it's game over for you. See why I told you to save your game? This is a major turning point in the game. If you give in to his torture, then you will live, but Meryl will die. If you survive the many rounds of torture, then Meryl will live. This also decides whether or not you get the good ending. After the torture is over, you will be in your cell. Use your CODEC and call Otacon. He'll bring you some Ketchup, a hankerchief, and a Level 6 Keycard. When he leaves, wait until the guard leaves again, then crawl on the middle of the floor in your cell, and use the Ketchup. This will make it appear like you killed yourself to the Guard. When he comes back, he'll run into the cell. Jump up and break his neck like a twig. When he's dead, leave the cell and go into the torture room. Inside here, run behind the Torture Rack and take your Equipment. Immediately go into your inventory and throw away the Timed Bomb before it explodes. This was placed here by Revolver Ocelot. Leave the room and use the elevator and go up to the first floor. Once at the top, run through the Canyon, and into the Nuclear Building. Use your sniper rifle to take out any guards here, then enter it. Run upstairs to the elevator, and take it down to the B1 floor and go to the place where Meryl was shot and you fought Sniper Wolf. After the Cut-scene in the area where Meryl was shot, go through the door that you originally intended to go through after the fight with Sniper Wolf. This will lead you to the Comms Towers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMS TOWER A & B ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run forward, and immediately, an alarm will sound. Run as fast as you can through the door at the end, grab the Rope near the stairs, then head up the stairs. Be sure to equip your FA-MAS to shoot down any guards along the way to the top of the building. This is a very long way to the top of the building. It's around 26 floors, so it'll take a while. Shoot down any guards that happen to get in your way. Once you get to the top, run around the area and climb the ladder to get to the roof. You will watch a cut-scene. A cool on at that. After the cut-scene, stand near the edge of the building, and equip the rope to rappell down the side of the building. Just avoid any steam pipes along the way, and you should be fine. At the bottom, stand near the walkway and equip your PSG1 rifle, and snipe the 3 guards at the end of the walkway. Run down the walkway, take the Rations, and head through the door to the right. Inside here, take the Stinger Rocket Launcher and the rockets, and head into the next area. Run down the stairs, see that it's a dead end, then go back upstairs to the top of the tower to fight the sixth boss: The Hind D. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 6: Hind D | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Okay, this boss fight is probably one of the harder ones so far into the game. It doesn't really seem hard at first, but when you see how cheap Liquid and his Hind helicopter get, you will get frustrated fast, and get lazy. Use the Stinger Rocket Launcher on the Hind when it appears from the sky, and after you've let loose a shot, run away to another area. Avoid the Hind's missles and incoming fire at all costs. Keep some Rations equipped during the battle, and use the Quick Equip function with your Stinger. After enough damage, the Hind will come crashing down. After the fight, head back downstairs, and over to the elevator. You will find out that the elevator now works for some reason... Get onto the elevator, and you will recieve a call from Otacon saying that the weight limit of the elevator is almost exceeded....You're not alone! Equip the Thermal Goggles to see the Stealth-ed guards, and blast them. At the bottom of the elevator, exit and head through the Level 6 doorway, and into the Snow Field. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SNOW FIELD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you take a few steps into the Snow Field, you will encounter Sniper Wolf again. This is the seventh boss fight of the game: Sniper Wolf. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 7: Sniper Wolf (again) | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Wow. Yet another fight with Sniper Wolf. This one is INCREDIBLY easy to beat. But it's only easy if you are using the Nikita Missle Launcher. Right when you start, run to the right and into the little niche in the side of the rocks. This will protect you from Sniper Wolf's incoming fire, and will hide you from her. Equip the Nikita, and fire a rocket. Use the First-Person View so you have more control of the rocket. Make it hit her (she's in the trees, behind them.) After enough damage, she will finally die. Ahhhhhhhhhh. After the fight, you can explore the Snow Field area. There are several rooms along the outer perimeter of the Snow Field. You can find: - Diazepam - Chaff Grenades - Grenades - Ammo for PSG1 - Ammo for FA-MAS - Ammo for SOCOM - Rations After fully exploring this area, head through the upper-left most room and chaff the cameras here, then head through the door here to go onto the Second Disc, and into the Blast Furnace. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ DISC 2 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is the walkthrough for the Second Disc of Metal Gear Solid. Since the Second Disc is much shorter than the First Disc, this Walkthrough will also be shorter. Oh, and this walkthrough should only be used for whilst playing on the Second Disc of the game itself. Go figure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLAST FURNACE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter the Blast Furnace, and immediately kill the first guard. Go left and across the catwalk. At the end you will find some SOCOM ammo. Now it's time to walk along the ledge to the right of the catwalk. Slowly creep along the ledge that is directly over the lava. Crouch whenever the large crane sweeps by, and make your way to the other side. Once across, go down the stairs, and turn right to find a hole in the wall. This hole leads to a hidden room. Crawl into it and you will find some PSG1 Ammo, and some Nikita Rockets in this room. Leave the room when you are done, and go through the door directly across from the hidden room. Head forward through the room, and get the Ration, the C4, and the two sets of Nikita Missiles on the elevator. Ride the elevator down. Along the way down, some guards will ambush you. Blast them all with your FA-MAS, then get off of it when it stops. Run around to the left side of the elevator to get some FA-MAS ammo, then run the other way. There is a machine gun camera near the next elevator, so take care of that, or avoid it all together with a Chaff Grenade. There are some Claymore mines around here too. You can get the Ration here, as well as the FA-MAS ammo to the right of the next elevator. Ride the next elevator down. When you reach the bottom, you will find plenty of Ravens.....hmmmm... Search behind each of the four large crates to find: - Nikita Rockets - C-4 - Some more Nikita Rockets - And some Rations After collecting this stuff, head through the next large door to fight the eighth boss in Metal Gear Solid: Vulcan Raven. You will fight him in the Warehouse area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 8: Vulcan Raven | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This boss fight is also pretty easy to beat, since Raven is pretty dumb and slow. :) Use your Stinger Rocket Launcher on him for the best results. He usually walks in a straight path, so use that to your advantage. Run around the area, and cut him off in between the boxes, so you can catch him as he walks through. When you see him, shoot a Stinger rocket at him. After enough damage (which isn't much really), he'll fall to the ground and die. So, so sad. ;) After you have defeated Raven, you will get the Level 7 Keycard from him. Awwww....what a nice guy. Explore this area to find the following: - Rations - Nikita Missiles - Stinger Missiles - C-4 - More Stinger Missiles - More Nikita Missiles Once you have taken everything you wanted from the Warehouse, exit through the large door using your Level 7 Keycard. Right when you have stepped though this door, grab the Chaff Grenades to your left. Watch out for the two trap doors on the floor, and walk forward slowly. There are TONS of cameras here. Toss a Chaff Grenade, then run through this area. If you have time, you can head over to the right side of this room and get some more Stinger Missiles. I reccommend doing so, since you will need them later. Go through the next door to enter the Underground Base. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNDERGROUND BASE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run forward to finnally see the infamous Metal Gear Rex.....wow. Run around the Rex to the right, and climb up the first set of ladders. Run around the second floor to find yet some more FA-MAS Ammo, and some Chaff Grenades. Continue up the next set of ladders until you get to the top of Metal Gear Rex. Climb the ladder to get to the other side of Rex, and go right at the bottom. Go around to the left to find a guard patrolling the area. Snipe him with your Sniper Rifle, then follow the Catwalk, grabbing the FA-MAS and the SOCOM Ammo along the way. Run until you reach some stairs that lead to a large control booth... After the cut-scene, you will find that the PAL Key has fallen into the sewage below. Run back down to the first floor, and head into the sewage near the feet of Metal Gear Rex to find it. Once in the sewage, go left and you should find it on the bottom of the ditch. Also in the sewage is some Rations, and some SOCOM and FA-MAS ammo. Remember that the sewage eats away at your health, so hurry. Once you have found the PAL Key, go all the way back upstairs to the Control Booth where you found Ocelot and Liquid Snake. At the top, you will find that Ocelot and Liquid Snake have left. Run into the room (after you have disabled the camera first), and place the PAL Key into the first computer. Head back to the Warehouse where you fought Vulcan Raven, and once there, DO NOT equip the PAL Key, and wait there for a bit. After a while, it will turn blue. Run back to the Control Booth and insert the PAL Key into the Second computer. Time for the third computer. Run all the way back to the Blast Furnace, but remember that there are some guards along the way there. Once at the Blast Furnace, go into the hidden room (or crawl rather), and wait for the PAL Key to turn into a redish color. Go back all the way to the Control Booth near Metal Gear Rex. Once back at the Control Booth, insert the PAL Key into the last computer to stop the nuclear launch. Ahhhh.......wait! This actually ACTIVATES the launch! Damn. Run outside of the Control Panel, and approach the Metal Gear Rex to fight the ninth boss in Metal Gear Solid: Metal Gear Rex. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 9: Metal Gear Rex | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is actually two battles in one. Well, the Metal Gear Rex has two different phases of attacks, and one comes after you've dealt out enough damage to Rex's first phase. To defeat the first phase, toss some Chaff Grenades at Rex, and when they detonate, use your Stinger Rocket Launcher, and fire away as many rockets as you can before the Chaff Grenades wear off. When they do, repeat this process until a cut-scene interrupts the game... Now comes the second phase. This is easier, since Liquid is now in view, and in your sights, exposed. But this time you cannot use Chaff Grenades, so to avoid Rex's fire, run underneath him, then turn around, and wait until the cockpit is in your view, then fire off some more Stinger rockets at the cockpit. After enough damage, Rex will finally collapse... After the battle, it is finally over.......wait!!! No! Liquid is still alive! Now you will end up on top of the collapsed Metal Gear Rex, and you will have a final showdown with Liquid Snake... +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 10 (?): Liquid Snake | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ I'm not really sure if this is a real boss fight or not, but I'm guessing that it is, since it's the hardest fight in the game. You must fight Liquid Snake on top of the trashed Metal Gear Rex. You must also fight him with hand-to-hand combat, since your gear is at the bottom of the Rex. You also cannot choke or break Liquid's neck. :( Just stick and move: Approach him, wait for him to attack you, then avoid it, and then attack him. Knock him around until he's near the edge of the Rex, and continue the flurry of attacks until he falls off the edge of Metal Gear Rex. Oh, and remember that you only have 3 minutes to dispose of him, or else everything will blow up! Finally, he's gone... Whew. After the fight, a cut-scene will "cut" in (heh), and you will get your gear back. Now you will be forced to escape with "someone" (that someone is the person you chose to save during your torture with Revolver Ocelot). Run through the exit, and grab the Rations near the door. Run down the hall and take the Rations near the stairs. Head up the stairs, and take the Rarions near the jeep. Blow up all of the barrels near here BEFORE getting into the Jeep. Now hop into the Jeep for a wild ride... ARGHHHH!!! Why won't Liquid die??!?!?!? Well, while "someone" is driving the jeep for you, you will have to control the jeep's machine gun. Your job is to mow down the guards that try to stop you at every stop. Use the First-Person mode to make it easier on yourself. At the last stop, Liquid Snake will enter with HIS own Jeep. Just keep firing at him back and forth as he changes positions. After a while (or enough damage), you will finally reach the end of the tunnel, and you will watch the ending of Metal Gear Solid.

Bosses =============================================================================== +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 1: Revolver Ocelot | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ The first boss in the game. A pretty easy one too. Just remember that you CANNOT use any type of explosives in here, or else the room will explode, and the game will be over. Wait until he starts running, then run in the opposite direction, that way you can meet up with him faster. When your SOCOM laser is locked on him, fire your SOCOM. After around 10 or so shots, he will run away, and your health bar will increase. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 2: Tank | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is the second boss you will face in Metal Gear Solid. It's not really boss, but since your health bar increases after the fight, it is a boss fight. You will be fighting a tank for this fight. Before you begin to fight the boss, collect all of the nearby claymore mines. Approach the tank, and toss a Chaff Grenade at the Tank. This will disable the machine gun fire. Now get close to the tank, and toss a couple of regular Grenades at it, then back away. After about 2-3 hits with your Grenades, you will have blown up the Tank, and your health bar will increase. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 3: Ninja | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is one of the more difficult, if not annoying boss fights in Metal Gear Solid. The Ninja has many different tactics: He'll turn on his Stealth Camouflage, he'll hide from you, and he'll block your gunfire with his sword. Remember that you cannot use any type of firearms, since he will just block them. You must beat him with your hands and fists. When he turns on his Stealth Camo, use your Thermal Goggles to see him. Attack him with everything you've got (hand-to-hand wise), until you finally bring his health bar down enough that he starts to convulse. Whip out your FA-MAS, and shoot him to keep him away. This will end the boss fight. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 4: Psycho Mantis | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Psycho Mantis is another annoying fight. He will control Meryl's mind right off the bat, so knock her out with your fists. When she's down, he'll start to fly across the room. Okay, now take out your controller and insert it into Controller Port 2, that way Mantis won't be able to "read your mind". Avoid his attacks (flying objects), and fire at him with your FA-MAS all you can. After a while, Meryl will get up again, so knock her out again, and continue your attack on Mantis. When you are done, a cut-scene will interrupt the fight. When his is done, your Health Bar will increase again. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 5: Sniper Wolf | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ For some reason, this fight is one of the easier fights in the game, just as long as you use plenty of Diazepam. Just equip your PSG1 and your Thermal Goggles, so you can see Sniper Wolf on the tower ahead. When she comes out of hiding, fire at her. If she gets an aim at you, get back up, and run to a different position. After she has died, watch the cut-scene, save your game, and watch your Health Bar go up. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 6: Hind D | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Okay, this boss fight is probably one of the harder ones so far into the game. It doesn't really seem hard at first, but when you see how cheap Liquid and his Hind helicopter get, you will get frustrated fast, and get lazy. Use the Stinger Rocket Launcher on the Hind when it appears from the sky, and after you've let loose a shot, run away to another area. Avoid the Hind's missles and incoming fire at all costs. Keep some Rations equipped during the battle, and use the Quick Equip function with your Stinger. After enough damage, the Hind will come crashing down. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 7: Sniper Wolf (again) | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Wow. Yet another fight with Sniper Wolf. This one is INCREDIBLY easy to beat. But it's only easy if you are using the Nikita Missle Launcher. Right when you start, run to the right and into the little niche in the side of the rocks. This will protect you from Sniper Wolf's incoming fire, and will hide you from her. Equip the Nikita, and fire a rocket. Use the First-Person View so you have more control of the rocket. Make it hit her (she's in the trees, behind them.) After enough damage, she will finally die. Ahhhhhhhhhh. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 8: Vulcan Raven | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This boss fight is also pretty easy to beat, since Raven is pretty dumb and slow. :) Use your Stinger Rocket Launcher on him for the best results. He usually walks in a straight path, so use that to your advantage. Run around the area, and cut him off in between the boxes, so you can catch him as he walks through. When you see him, shoot a Stinger rocket at him. After enough damage (which isn't much really), he'll fall to the ground and die. So, so sad. ;) +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 9: Metal Gear Rex | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ This is actually two battles in one. Well, the Metal Gear Rex has two different phases of attacks, and one comes after you've dealt out enough damage to Rex's first phase. To defeat the first phase, toss some Chaff Grenades at Rex, and when they detonate, use your Stinger Rocket Launcher, and fire away as many rockets as you can before the Chaff Grenades wear off.

After enough damage, Rex will finally collapse... +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ | Boss 10 (?): Liquid Snake | +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ I'm not really sure if this is a real boss fight or not, but I'm guessing that it is, since it's the hardest fight in the game. You must fight Liquid Snake on top of the trashed Metal Gear Rex. You must also fight him with hand-to-hand combat, since your gear is at the bottom of the Rex. You also cannot choke or break Liquid's neck. :( Just stick and move: Approach him, wait for him to attack you, then avoid it, and then attack him.

Time Attack: Use the same strategy as above, only go faster. :) Gun Shooting: Again, wait until the guards emerge, then shoot them down one at a time, only wait until the guard is far enough away from the others so they won't hear it. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0003 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: Right when you start, go straight and crawl underneath the cube in front of you. At the end, sneak up behind the guard to the left, and kill him. Run to the right, and underneath the hole in the right side of the cube, then go up to the Goal. Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0004 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: To beat this stage, you'll have to attract guards, and make them get away from their normal routes. Just knock on the walls to lure them to you, then when they turn around, sneak up behind them and snap their neck. When all 5 guards are disposed of, run to the Goal. Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0005 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: This level has water hazards in it, so you'll have to sneak past them so the guards won't hear you. Just sneak north and head towards the Goal. Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. DO NOT wake them though! Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. Make sure you don't wake some of them first though. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0006 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: This is the first level to have Security Cameras. When sneaking past security cameras, always wait until they are not facing you, and to hug the walls when going underneath them. Make your way to the Goal. Also, you can get through this Stage without harming any guards. Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. Still, you need to get past the cameras as fast as you can. Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. Make sure you don't activate any of the cameras though. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0007 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: Pretty straightforward. Crawl the entire way north, and stay behind the pillars when the guards turn and face you. If they are all behind you, you can stand up and run to the Goal. Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. Still, you need to get past the guards as quick as you can. Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. Make sure you don't alert any guards though. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0008 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: This is the first snow-based level. Remember that the guards can see your footprints in the snow. Use this to your advantage, and lure the guards out of their spots, then run past them when their backs are turned.

Still, you need to get past the guards as quick as you can. Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. Make sure you don't alert any guards though. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0009 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: This stage is almost like the first stage, but it's harder (duh). There are plenty of guards here, so watch out. Lure them out by knocking on the walls, then snap their neck like a twig. x_x Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. Still, you need to get past the guards as quick as you can. Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. Make sure you don't alert any guards though. Remember that you must kill them BEFORE they see you. +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ STAGE 0010 +=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+ Training: This is the last and toughest stage in the VR Training missions. This stage combines almost everything from the previous stages, so you'd better watch out. Immediately turn right and crawl through underneath the ramp and go all the way to the end. You should see a guard. Wait until he turns around, then pop out of the hole, and run up the ramp and to the goal. Time Attack: Use the same tactics as above, but this time go faster, and don't kill the guards, only flip them over. Still, you need to get past the guards as quick as you can, and avoid the cameras and spotlights! Gun Shooting: Just blast the guards when they're not looking, then head to the goal. Make sure you don't alert any guards though. Remember that you must kill them BEFORE they see you.
