Walkthrough
for Nintendo Gamecube
This is a walkthrough of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
This walkthrough has two parts. One is, well, a walkthrough. The second part is
a detailed look at each and every single room in the game, which can help you if
you're looking for an item, or if you're having trouble with certain guards.
Enjoy.
WALKTHROUGH
So, far this walkthrough relates to the VERY EASY, EASY, and NORMAL difficulties.
As I play the other difficulties, I'll update with the proper info related to difficulty.
I won't point out every single item in this section, but I will make notes about
important ones. I'll use compass headings as I refer to directions in the game.
These may not really refer to the actual headings in the world, but I'll use north
to refer to the top of the screen.
Cargo Dock
You'll enter on the southwest side of the dock. If on VERY EASY, your first
weapon, the M9, is right next to you. Press X to drop to your knees and crawl under
the boiler or nearby pipes. There are two guards wandering around the west and east
end of this area. Watch the puddles on the ground. If you run too fast, you'll make
noise. The elevator you're looking for is at the north end of the room. Once you
get there, it will start down, with a third guard on it. If playing on EASY, next
to the door is your first weapon, an M9 pistol. If you're playing on NORMAL, the
M9 is in the leftmost locker. This weapon can tranquilize enemies. Use it to knock
out the two patrolling guards, including the third guy coming down on the elevator
(on EASY and higher). Once all three are out, you have the place to yourself, so
raid the area of the ammo, three Rations, and AP SENSOR, which you'll find under
the water on the east side. Anyway, once you're cleaned up here, hop in the elevator.
Heliport
Once you get control, you'll find that you're at the south end of the area.
Your objective here is to gain entry to the building. The front entrance is out,
so you'll have to sneak in through a vent. There are two, one on the first floor,
and one on the second. There are three guards in this area, two on the ground, patrolling
the west and east sides. The third is on the second floor, patrolling the catwalks.
Make sure you take a trip into the truck to pick up the SOCOM pistol. There's also
Chaff Grenades on the helipad, but you'll have to avoid or shoot out the spotlights.
If you want some early Stun Grenades, go to the west end of the area, but there's
a Camera that's really tough to avoid, so you may have to use one of your Chaffs,
or you can shoot it, if the guards are all knocked out. Anyway, to enter the building,
you can go in on the first floor, but you'll have to avoid the two guards and two
cameras near the front door. If you wish to enter through the second floor, you'll
only have to deal with the guard on the east side, and on the catwalk, and slip
in through the vent up there.
Tank Hangar
Regardless of which vent you use, you'll end up here. Your goal is on the north
side of the first floor, in the form of the elevator. There are two guards wandering
around the tanks on the ground floor. On the upper catwalks are two cameras on the
NW and NE corners. Also, there's a camera in the storage area on the east side of
the second floor, which has a Book and Thermal Goggles. Once you're done here, tap
Y to start the elevator, hop in, and walk over to the buttons. Select B1.
Holding Cells
Head down to the southeast corner, and climb up the ladder and into the vents.
If you want to take a detour, you'll listen to a fantasizing guard. Follow the vents
and you'll pass over a nice-looking young lady. Keep going, and you'll reach the
DARPA chief, Donald Anderson. He'll tell you about the real reason this whole nuclear
threat is such a problem, and give you a CARD LVL 1. He'll then have a heart attack
and die. The lady next door will then show up, having knocked out her guard and
swiped everything but his pixilation. While the two of you are negotiating, the
alarm will sound and the bad guys will show up.
Fifteen soldiers will come in three at a time. You can either knock them out
with the M9 or gun them down with the SOCOM. There's ammo lying around the room,
and downed enemies can drop items. Once you take down your first three, your companion
will decide to help you out (Ravi's note: After your companion actually decides
to shoot her FA-MAS once in a while, I say you should stand near the opening of
the door, aim via first person mode and shoot the incoming guars in the head before
they even enter). Once all soldiers are gone, she'll take off and you'll be left
alone. Now, leave the cells by the LVL 1 door and head back to the elevator. Select
1.
Tank Hangar
Now that you have your new card, go to the east side of the room (ground floor).
Dispose of the guard in this room, and take the SOCOM SUPPRESSOR to silence your
gun. Also, go in the upper west storage room and take the Chaff and BOX 1. Head
back to the elevator and select B2.
Armory
This place is (currently) nice and empty. Careful, though, because there are
a few spots in the place with weak flooring that give way. There are six rooms here,
which contain weapons. Enter the middle north room to find a bunch of C4. The middle
south room has a SOCOM (if you don't already have one) and ammo. The southwest room
has Grenades. Now, you have to find Baker, and they say that he's behind an unpainted
wall. This wall is in the southwest corner of the room. Bust it down using the C4
(set with A and blow with B).
Armory South
There's another wall to blow up on the southeast corner of this corridor. After
that, you'll have a choice of two walls. The east-most wall leads to a couple of
sentry guns and locked doors. The north wall leads to Kenneth Baker, president of
ArmsTech, and boy is he in a pickle.
 BOSS:
REVOLVER OCELOT
Ocelot will use the northwest pillar as cover. In addition to his and Baker's
health, you'll also see a meter denoting his current revolver ammunition. The best
time to shoot him is when he's reloading, but it's tough to get a clean shot. He's
a rather good marksman. Just about any of his shots will hit you, unless you're
in cover. Four head shots with either the SOCOM or the M9 will put him down.
Ravi's strategy: Quickly pull out your SOCOM, now hold A+B and run around. When
you notice Snake is actually aiming his SOCOM at Ocelot, fire. If you hit Ocelot,
great, if not, continue running and try again. You can usually actually get up to
him after you hit him. Now after you're able to hit him, wait a couple of seconds
and fire again. Repeat. He's dead. Or at least he should be, but instead a cutscene
plays and he lives. Bastard.
Armory South
In the aftermath of your fight, a new character will emerge, the Ninja. He'll
cut off Ocelot's right arm, cut down all the wires holding Baker, and go a quick
round with you before running off. You'll speak to Baker and he'll tell you more
about Metal Gear, and he'll give you the CARD LVL 2 and an MO DISC, before he, too,
dies of a heart attack. He'll also tell you to contact Meryl, and that her frequency's
on the back of the package. What package, you ask? Why, the package your game came
in, of course. If you lost it, or never got one (Ravi's note: Or if you're a dirty
pirate), then I'll tell you that Meryl's frequency is 140.15. After a conversation
with her, she'll tell you that she'll open the cargo door in the Tank Hangar for
you. Head north out the LVL 2 door.
Armory
There are two guards here, now. Also, you can open the southeast door with your
new card. Be careful, because there are IR sensors in here that will sound the alarm,
so crawl under them, and pick up the FA-MAS assault rifle. Make your way back to
the elevator and head to the first floor.
Tank Hangar
NOTE: If you were already here when you called Meryl, leave by the elevator
and come back. As you get off the elevator, Meryl will tell you the door's open.
Notice that one of the tanks is missing. The guard on the east side of the ground
floor has now moved to the catwalk, and the guard on the west side is now making
regular reports. If he gets knocked out or dies, they'll send in an attack team
to find out what happened when he doesn't report in. Now that you have a CARD LVL
2, go to the upper east storage room and get the MINE DETECTOR. Now, head through
the open cargo door on the north wall. There are IR sensors in this small anteroom
that will release gas if broken. If you have the Thermal Goggles, you can put them
on and time your movements past the beams. If you don't, you can also look to your
left past the beams to find several control boxes for the IR beams, although you'll
have to use your SOCOM to shoot them out (hope it's silenced). Once past the IR
sensors, head through the far door.
Canyon
You'll receive a message from a guy named Deepthroat about mines in the area.
If you got it in the Tank Hangar, turn on the Mine Detector, to reveal four mines
in front of you, and one off to your far left. Crawl over these mines to pick them
up for yourself. Once you get about halfway, you'll meet your newest adversary.
 BOSS:
M1 TANK
Although Vulcan Raven's driving, your real opponent is the tank itself. It can
fire cannon shots and machine guns at you. The cannon shots are by far the most
devastating part of the tank. Fortunately, you can disable the cannon fire by dropping
a Chaff Grenade. With the cannon temporarily disabled, you can focus on dodging
gunfire and trying to get a shot at the Gunner in the turret. You can use any of
your guns, and Grenades particularly shine here, as Snake's pretty good at getting
them in the gunner's lap. Each Gunner takes three head shots, and there are two
to deal with. Once you've dealt with the gunners, Snake will then disable the tank
in a particularly cool fashion, and you'll be able to move on. If you need items,
there are Rations, Grenades, SOCOM ammo, Chaffs, and Stuns lying around.
Ravi's Strategy - I can't say much because I found this to be the hardest boss in
this game. I'm a lot better now that I am used to the Gamecube's controls. Remember
- the longer you hold A, the more strength Snake uses to toss the grenade. Don't
hold too hard or else it'll explode in your hands. If you simply suck at throwing
grenades, then hide out in the trench, once in a while pop out and shoot the gunner.
This takes a damn long time and your hands will hurt like whoa... but it works.
Canyon
After destroying the Tank, you'll get the CARD LVL 3 off a guard and you can
enter the Nuclear Building to the north, where Meryl is hiding.
Nuke Building 1F
Head down the ramp and crawl under the door. The crew will radio in and tell
you about all the nuclear material in here. For that reason, you cannot use any
weapons besides Chaff Grenades On VERY EASY and EASY difficulties, you can still
use the M9. Your objective here is the elevator up the stairs in the northwest corner.
On the ground floor are two guards patrolling around, as well as a Security Camera
on the east wall. On the catwalks above are another guard and another Camera on
the north wall. Best way to get through this is to make your way to the west, then
up the west stairs and into the elevator. Or, you can just pick off the guys here
and raid the area of items. Try not to get caught, because if these guys fire their
shotguns, they'll probably hit the nuclear material, which will start killing you.
Once in the elevator, go down a floor.
Nuke Building B1
Yes, I know Dr. Emmerich is in the second basement, we're taking a little detour.
There are two guards down here: one in the bathroom doing his business, the other
patrolling the computer room. Deal with them both. Now, you can raid this room for
items. Specifically, take the NIKITA remote-controlled missile launcher in the computer
room to the south. Now, head back to the elevator and down a level.
Nuke Building B2
Head through the south door and you'll get a call about the floor being electrified.
Also, the whole hallway is gassed. Apparently, someone doesn't want Dr. Emmerich
leaving. You can survive the gas for some time, so open the door to the gassed hallway
and fire off a NIKITA rocket. If you don't move the rocket, it will travel faster,
so remember that. Turn right at the junction, then you'll enter an office area.
There are four sentry guns in this area, two on the southwest corner of the wall,
and the other two on the east wall of this room. If you move the missile quickly
enough around the corner to the right, you can quickly get by the first gun, then
pass under the second gun. Veer left as you pass the second and ride the missile
into the breaker room. A little more maneuvering and you'll slam the missile into
the circuit breaker, shutting down the electric floor. Don't worry about running
out of air in the gassed hallway; your missile will run out of juice long before
you start suffocating. Once the breaker's down, you'll (more or less) have your
run of the place. The gas is still up, and will be forever, so your next task is
to find some way to stay alive. Head down the central hallway, and take the third
(southernmost) door on camera right. In here, in addition to a Sentry Gun, you'll
find the GAS MASK. Slip it on and you'll be able to hold your air longer in the
gas. There are also three other guns here, two in the area you sent the missile
in (explore it for some items), and one other at the southeast door, which is your
destination. Head through it.
Nuke Building B2 (East)
You'll see a scene of pwnination as you enter the room. Chase the ninja through
the busted open LVL 4 Door.
Laboratory
As you enter, the Ninja will attack.
 BOSS:
NINJA
Shooting him is worthless, as he'll just block your shots, so start punching.
Chase him around the room. After he flips and lands is one of the best times to
swat at him. Try not to land combos, just use single punches, or else you may give
the Ninja an opening. After knocking him down a lot of health, he'll go into hiding
with his stealth camo. You can see a little distortion where he's hiding, but he
usually picks corners, so just pound him. After that, his camo will be busted, and
he'll start getting up close and personal. Keep hitting him and he'll be done.
Ravi's Strategy - Remember that shooting that little Mario figure adds a little
bit to your health, in case you're getting whipped by the Ninja. Also, pressing
"B" with the Nikita equipped makes Snake slap Ninja with the Nikita missile launcher,
which takes out more damage.
Laboratory
The Ninja will reveal an interesting fact, and take off in a huff. You'll meet
Dr. Emmerich here, who likes to be called Otacon. He'll talk about Metal Gear REX
and give you the CARD LVL 4. Otacon will take off in stealth camo and will promise
to help you. Remember his frequency (141.12) because it won't be automatically stored
in the Codec. Now, you have to find Meryl.
Nuke Building B2
You can open a couple new doors here. One of them (the far north door in the
west side) has Night Vision Goggles, which can help you see in dark areas. Head
up to B1.
Nuke Building B1
Note the spare guard in the area. Take out the original two guards, then get
noticed by the new third one (Ravi's note: ...and if you don't know which one is
the new one, look at their asses and decide which one you'd hit. *wink*). Watch
as she(?) takes off and follow her to the ladies' room. Hey, it's Meryl. You'll
have a chat with her and she'll want to help you out. She'll give you the CARD LVL
5 and the PAL KEY, which is used to shut down Metal Gear. Use it to start raiding
the offices in the computer room to the south, which will net you some items, including
BOX 2. Now, head north through the LVL 5 Door.
Commander Room
You'll automatically enter the office. Watch this VERY interesting scene (in
more ways than one), and you'll discover the root of your problems is Psycho Mantis.
Knock out Meryl with a few punches or an M9 and your enemy will face you. Pay close
attention to this scene as he looks into your soul.
 BOSS:
PSYCHO MANTIS
Mantis is a HUGE pain IF you don't know the super secret to defeating him. He'll
attack one of four ways: he'll lift the chairs in the room and rotate them around
himself. He'll lift the suit of armor and send that flying around. He'll send the
portraits and books flying out to hit you, or he'll just create a psychic blast
and toss it at you. The secret to beating Mantis is that he's "reading" your mind
through your Controller. Oh, it's true! So, what you have to do get a good shot
at him is simply switch your Controller to another socket. From that point, you
can just peg him with impunity. If he regains power over you, switch your controller
to another socket (one of the ones you haven't used yet). After you drain a good
portion of his life, he'll bring up Meryl to fight you. Tranquilize her or punch
her (but don't empty her life). After you knock her down, he'll instead try to get
Meryl to kill herself. Knock her out once more, and you can spend the rest of the
fight focusing on Mantis. Once you defeat him, he'll spill his story and open up
the secret door to Metal Gear.
Ravi's Strategy - I never had a problem when I simply put the controller into port
four. If you can't find Mantis, holding "Z" for a while lets you see things in Mantis'
view. I recommend running around in circles and firing randomly when you can't find
him. Unless you don't have ammunition.
Commander Room
Head north through the secret door, picking up a few items on the way, then
head north.
Caves
Meryl will head on to the end ahead of you. Your way forward is to the northwest,
crawling under the rocks. The dogs in the area will attack you, so tranquilize them.
Once you get out from under the rocks, head east, north, east, then south, and you
can crawl out to the east and you'll reach Meryl. That's the quick way, but you
can explore the caves and find several items. There are two adult dogs, and a puppy,
who won't attack. Once you reach the northeast door, you can go with Meryl through
the door.
Underground Passage
Meryl will walk through the minefield here. You can either trace her steps with
her or just crawl on the ground, which won't set off the mines, and you may even
pick up a few. As you pass the minefield, you'll find you have a serious problem.
FOXHOUND's Sniper Wolf will attack, and Meryl will be injured. Unfortunately, the
only way to fight back is to get your own Sniper Rifle. If you call Otacon, he'll
tell you there's one in the Armory. You'll have to leave and go all the way back
there. Turn around and go to the Caves.
Caves
Head back to the Commander Room.
Commander Room
Head out to...
Nuke Building B1
(Ravi's note: I have found a PSG-1 modified to shoot tranquilizer rounds in
the Nuke Building B1. The Level 5 Card Key Mantis gives you unlocks a door to the
room in the area with computers that has it. If you do this, head back to the Underground
Passage and skip to "BOSS: SNIPER WOLF" in this walkthrough. If not, then, well,
continue) Take the elevator to 1F.
Nuke Building 1F
Don't forget to crawl under the south door, then out to the Canyon.
Canyon
Well, you've got problems here, because things have changed since you were here
last. Your most immediate problem is two Sentry Guns above the north door sweeping
the near area, and a guard pacing around. The towers near the gully in the middle
of the area each have a Security Camera, and there are two more guards in the south
area. Good luck getting on through. I suggest not tranquilizing/killing the first
guard, as his body will probably be spotted by the cameras, opening up a whole new
can of worms. Once you get past the cameras, you can take it a little easier, since
you'll have more cover. Head out the south door to the...
Tank Hangar
...which hasn't changed, so go down to the Armory.
Armory
There's a new guard in front of the LVL 5 Door. Take out all three in the area.
Once you enter the PSG1 room, crawl under the IR sensors in the area, then grab
the PSG1 and ammo. Now, head aaaaallllllll the way back through the Canyon and to
the Nuke Building.
Nuke Building B1
Go to the computer room to the south. The LVL 5 Door here will have the PSG1-T
in case you don't want to kill Wolf (Ravi's note: You could've done this first...
oh well). Now, head to the Underground Passage. Meryl will be gone, but you still
have an enemy.
 BOSS:
SNIPER WOLF
Grab some PENTAZEMIN nearby and munch on it to steady your hand. The trick to
this fight is basically to shoot Wolf before she shoots you. Don't head out of the
square entry section, because if you get close, Wolf will automatically hit you.
Otherwise, she'll take a few seconds to line up her shot, longer if you're moving
around. Face down her way and pull out your rifle. Zoom in with B and line up your
shot. You'll do far more damage if you connect with her head (like every other boss).
Once you take a shot, she'll jump to a new spot. Shoot her up enough and she'll
collapse.
Ravi's Strategy - You can shoot her while she's running to a new spot. If you have
plenty of ammunition, you might as well waste them on her. She's really the only
person you'd use any of the PSG-1s on.
Underground Passage
Head north. There are a few items in the alcoves, but watch the third alcove
for a Sentry Gun. Once you reach the base of the tower, you'll find that Wolf's
gone. Take any items in the area, then head for the LVL 6 Door to start a cutscene.
The short story is that you'll be captured.
Medical Room
You'll have a chat with Liquid, Ocelot, and Wolf. Ocelot will begin the torture.
You have a choice here. If you choose to "Submit", by pressing START + A, then Meryl
will be killed. If you don't submit once during all these sessions, she'll be spared.
The ending of the game plays out differently either way, and I leave the choice
up to you. You aren't allowed to save during these tests, and there are no "continues"
(as Ocelot will tell you), so if you die, you'll go back to the last save. If you
choose to resist, rapidly press A to restore your strength as the electric current
starts sucking it away. After three bouts with the current, you'll be tossed in
a cell. Talk to the Colonel on the Codec, then talk to Otacon, and it'll be time
for more torture. Three more runs with the current, then back to the cell. Otacon
will show up with four things, a Ration, some Ketchup, a Handkerchief, and the CARD
LVL 6. Lay down and quickly use the Ketchup. If your guard didn't see you actually
use the Ketchup (and you don't move while he comes to check you out), you can get
the drop on him. If he sees you use it, the ploy won't work, but you have to try
anyway to get the story moving. So, if it fails, it's back to the torture machine.
After that run, sit around in your cell, and you'll get released by the Ninja. If
you submit during your torture, you'll go through all the same stuff, only without
the torture bouts. Time to go. The guard will notice you're loose, so you'll have
to knock him out. (Ravi's note: If you're such a klutz that you are never able to
escape, don't fret - an old friend of yours will break you free... and Ocelot gives
you extra ammunition for going through all those tortures... unless you submitted)
Run out into the torture room, and grab your stuff. If you resisted torture, check
your Items. Look for the TIME BOMB. Well, someone left you a nasty surprise, eh?
Toss it away then take cover. Watch out for that Sentry Gun near the door.
Holding Cells
There are two Sentry Guns here, but just avoid them and hop into the elevator.
If you submitted during torture, you'll notice that you're now sneezing up a storm.
Looks like you'll need to go find some cold medicine. It's time to head all the
way back to the Underground Passage. On your way, remember to stop by:
Nuke Building B1
Open the LVL 6 Door here to get MEDICINE. Use it if you're sneezing.
Nuke Building B2
Open the LVL 6 Door here to get BODY ARMOR.
Caves
Equip the Handkerchief and the Dogs won't attack you. Head to the Underground
Passage.
Underground Passage
Clean up the items, then head (finally) into the Communications Tower through
the LVL 6 Door. Time to switch discs!
Communication Tower A
There's some ammo in front of you. As you leave the entry passage, you'll automatically
run over some tripwires. Nice work, sneaky boy. Now, an unlimited number of guards
will start pouring in from behind you. First, grab the ROPE that's lying in one
of the boxes in front of you, then head south. You'll be at the base of the tower.
There's a bunch of ammo lying around, but I suggest ignoring that and making tracks
for the stairs and start climbing. If you can stay ahead of your enemies, you should
be fine up to the first "checkpoint", which has several more items. The door up
here is frozen shut, so you can't get to the outer walkway. Looks like you'll have
to cross over to the next tower from the roof. So, keep climbing, and you'll notice
you have a new problem; enemies are now coming from both above and below (Ravi's
note: Stun Grenades are very useful here. Also, if you learned how to run and quickly
take out your FA-MAS while running and then putting it away, this part can be a
piece of cake). Remove them from out of your way however you wish, then continue
climbing until you reach the top floor, which kind of twists around. Once you reach
the end, press Y to grab the ladder and climb on out.
Communication Tower Roof
As you step outside, you'll find you have company, in the form of Liquid in
the Hind helicopter. You have nothing that can harm him at the moment, so just equip
the ROPE you have and run to the railing. You'll automatically start rappelling
down.
Communication Tower Wall
Here's how to rappel. Pressing A will kick you off the wall, and pressing B
will stick you on the wall, allowing you to move slowly. Use these two buttons in
conjunction with the Control Stick to make your way down the wall. As you descend,
your Grip Gauge will decrease. If it empties, you're street pizza. In order to restore
it, you have to find landing points, which are in the form of girders placed regularly
on the way. Oh, and while you're doing this, Liquid is strafing you from the Hind.
Have fun. As soon as you reach your third girder, you'll automatically make the
remaining descent, landing on the walkway you were originally trying to get to.
Communication Tower Corridor
If you wish, you can bust open the frozen door using the nearby C4, but it only
sends you back to Tower A. The way forward is across the bridge, and there are three
bad guys on the far side. Take out your Sniper Rifle (either one) and take them
out (Ravi's note: Keep caution. Taking one down triggers an ALERT. Either quickly
take them all down or... take cover and use Nikita missiles?). Continue forward
and into the door, avoiding the Hind. As you enter the door, you'll find your savior:
the STINGER missile launcher. Grab the ammo and enter Tower B.
Communication Tower B
Can't go up. There are boxes in the way. Hit the elevator. Can't use that. Start
heading down. Stairs are broken. There's no way out of this game! Head back to the
elevator and you'll see Otacon. He'll have done what you could not; moved the darn
boxes (Ravi's note: Has hell froze over? The legendary Solid Snake is defeated by
boxes while 'ol Hal here pushed them away?!). Head up the stairs. As you climb these
stairs, you'll find that every four floors are stationed Sentry Guns, adding one
every floor. Shoot them out (Ravi's note: With Stinger Missiles), chaff them, or
avoid them. Once you reach the top, take all the items up here and climb the ladder.
Communication Tower Roof
As you'll expect, Liquid will chopper up to challenge you. Fortunately, you
now have a means of fighting him off.
 BOSS:
HIND D HELICOPTER
In the main, Liquid will focus on using the guns to try to take you down. Hide
behind structures, because dodging is right out. When he stops shooting, use the
radar to get his position (a red line on the edge of your radar) and pull up the
STINGER. Now, remember, when using the STINGER, that equipping it will automatically
bring up the Lock On mode, and you won't be able to move. To be able to move again,
you have to unequip the STINGER. Anyway, three lock-on spots will appear on the
Hind. Fire at any one, because they all do the same damage. It takes about twenty
rockets to bring him down. At about halfway, Liquid will start firing off missiles,
which will bust up the area. After you finish the Hind, you can head back into the
tower.
Ravi's Strategy - When Liquid fires homing missiles for the first time, he's letting
you take a clear shot. Stand to the north side of the screen and shoot. The missile
will never get you. After his missile explodes, you have another open shot towards
him. The second time he fires a missile, the Hind D has already gotten 100% damage
so don't think you have to hit him again. Run to the South side of the screen to
avoid getting hit.
Communication Tower B
Head back downstairs. The elevator is now working, so hop in. Buzz? That's weird.
Activate the elevator and Otacon will call in. Long story short, you've got company.
Take out these four soldiers, and you'll reach the ground floor. Head out, clean
up any items you wish, watch out for the Sentry Guns hanging around, and head outside.
Snow Field
As you exit, you'll find that someone's back for a rematch.
 BOSS:
SNIPER WOLF
This fight is to the death. Basically, the only thing that makes this fight
any harder than your other fight with Wolf is that you'll have to cover a larger
field of area. Easy way to find out where she is, is to just run around for a while.
Eventually, she'll start sighting towards you, and you'll know where she's coming
from. Once again, it's the game of "shoot her before she shoots you". There's really
no other way to do it, because, like before, if you try to get close, she'll automatically
shoot you. It takes about six head shots to take her out.
Ravi's Strategy - Did I forget to mention that you can shoot her while she's running?
What about Thermal Goggles helping you see where she's hiding? I did? Damn. What
about looking for her breath to spot her as well? I forgot that too? I'm bad.
Snow Field
Otacon will show up, to witness you finishing Wolf. Now, this whole area's open
to you. Check all the warehouses for ammo and items. Just watch out for the Sentry
Guns. The LVL 7 Door, which you can't get into yet, just has STINGER ammo. Watch
out in the easternmost bunker on the north wall, which has planted CLAYMORES. Your
way forward is through the westernmost bunker on the north wall. There are stairs
in the back leading down.
Blast Furnace
As you enter the room, you'll find a guard patrolling up on the top floor. Now,
it seems like you've got nowhere to go from here. You can either drop down using
the railings, or head to the southwestern corner of the room. From there, you can
flatten yourself against the west wall and start inching over to the other side.
Be sure to duck while you're inching, because the nearby pulley passes pretty low.
Once you get on the north side, you can take out the other guard here and head for
the door. If you wish, you can explore this area, particularly the southeastern
corner of the ground floor, which has steam vents and Sentry Guns, as well as several
items. If you didn't get the B.ARMOR before, it's here now.
Cargo Elevator
Poke around for items, then hop on the elevator and press Y to get her going.
As you ride down, you'll be attacked by four enemy soldiers. Take them down, and
you'll reach the bottom. On this floor, you'll find more items and a Sentry Gun.
Head to the next elevator and ride down. Whoa. Someone get Alfred Hitchcock on the
phone. Once you reach the bottom, pick up items and head through the north door.
Warehouse
As you enter, you'll meet...
 BOSS:
VULCAN RAVEN
Raven marches around the warehouse (rather slowly) and fires off his minigun
in random directions. It's tough to get a well-aimed shot on him, as he will fire
rather quickly. I find it best to pull out your STINGER, lock-on, fire, and run
away before he can gun you down. It takes about ten STINGER missiles to take him
down. If you don't wish to kill him, ten Stun Grenades will work just as fine. Once
he's finished, you'll get the CARD LVL 7, and you can head through the north door.
Ravi's Strategy - As mentioned in my review for this game, I managed to kill Raven
using jump shots. This is a little bit more tricky in Extreme Mode where he actually
runs, but in the other difficulties, you go against a wall (your back facing Raven's
face) then jump out with the SOCOM or M9 (by pressing "A" near the edge of the wall)
and you'll fire a shot and hide. Repeat. Remember to use tactical reload when your
ammunition clip is nearly out of ammunition so you aren't vulnerable because you're
reloading the old fashioned way.
Warehouse North
Watch out in the southern part of this room, since there are a few loose tiles
that will give way. There are also two guards here, one patrolling the catwalk,
and another a couple floors up looking down. When you finish with them, also take
care of the two Sentry Guns near the north door. You can exit through those.
Underground Base
As you enter, you'll see your target right in front of you. This area's a maze
of stairs, with plenty of items. There are two guards in her, one patrolling the
east side of the room on the 2nd and 3rd floors, the other is patrolling the same
floors on the west side. After you dispose of both of them, head to the south side
of the third floor to listen in on Liquid and Ocelot. You'll soon discover that
you have all three keys to deactivating Metal Gear. Ocelot will notice you and shoot
the key out of your hand. Now, you have to go chase after it. Head down to the drainage
ditch. Run under the bridge and you'll get a call from Master that a rat ate the
key. Oh, and you also picked up a TIME BOMB while you were under the bridge, so
toss that away. Well, I can never find the rat, but you don't really have to; there's
an easier way to take it out. In the northwest corner of the first floor is a small
rat hole (Ravi's note: That's where the rat comes out of, in case you're fresh out
of Claymore Mines for some reason). Lay down a Claymore in front of the hole and
eventually the rat will go boom. Grab the PAL KEY. Now, head back up to the (now
empty) control room. Underground Base (Control Room) - DEFINITELY shoot out the
Cameras here, or you'll get gassed when they spot you. Equip the PAL KEY and press
Y in front of the yellow laptop to use it. Now, you have to cool the key to change
its shape. Run all the way back to the Warehouse. SUPER SECRET TRICK - If you don't
want to make trips to the Warehouse and Blast Furnace just sitting around, then
you should take a look at the southeast corner of the middle floor. See that railing
area that it looks like you can't get to at all? You can get to it, but it requires
a Hang- Drop-Catch. First hang from the railing above that one, then press X to
let go, then press Y again just as you hit the next railing. Once you're in this
secret area, you may notice the two pipes on the wall. One's liquid nitrogen, the
other's steam (Ravi's note: For the people who dropped out of elementary school,
liquid nitrogen will make you shiver while steam might make you sweat). Shoot them
while holding the KEY, and it will automatically change color. You have to Hang-Drop-Catch
again to leave, by grabbing onto the wire at the bottom, so be careful. However,
if you prefer the simpler (Ravi's note: *cough*longer*cough*) method, just head
out to the Warehouse (Ravi's note: Oh come now, you're willing to waste twenty minutes
because you can't press a coupla buttons? Sad).
Warehouse
There are two new guards here. Deal with them, or just avoid them. After about
two minutes or so, your key will change colors to blue. Now, head back to the Underground
Base's Control Room and use the key in the blue computer. Now, you have to warm
it up, so head to the Blast Furnace.
Blast Furnace
One of the guards moved down to this floor, so take him out quickly. After about
two minutes of hanging out here, the key will be back to yellow, then another two
minutes later, the key will turn red. Now, head on back to the Underground Base.
Make sure you don't hang out in the Warehouse for more than two minutes, or else
the card will change color again.
Underground Base (Control Room)
Toss the key into the red slot. Well, looks like you shut down Metal Gear, right?
Wrong! Good work, Snake, you just turned it on. Master Miller reveals his true identity.
Now, the room's filling with gas. First, slip on the gas mask, then get on Otacon's
case to have him hack the door. Contact him four times (if you don't, you'll run
out of time) in succession, and a few seconds later, the door will open. Once you're
out, you'll confront Liquid, who will hop into REX and fire it up.
Supply Route
As Liquid keeps yakking at you, talk to Otacon, who'll tell you about REX's
weakness. Time to take it down.
 BOSS:
METAL GEAR REX
REX has three attacks (in addition to stomping on you if you get really close),
it can fire twin machine guns, it can fire a laser weapon, and if you're far, it
will fire three missiles that home in on you, so run around to dodge them as you
hear them incoming. When you get an opening, pull out your STINGER and lock onto
REX's radome, which is the circular thingy on its top right side. Get missiles onto
the radome, five on VERY EASY, six on EASY, seven on NORMAL. After that's done,
there's a cutscene where your Ninja friend will show up one last time, destroy the
radome, and get squashed. Now, you'll have a second round, where you'll have to
target the cockpit. The same amount of missiles to the cockpit will finish REX.
Ravi's Strategy - I'd run and hide behind REX. It's field of vision is blue. Sneak
to it's right and fire a missile at the radome. Repeat. Now when the cockpit is
exposed, pretty much do the same (while avoiding the plasma cannon) except aim for
Liquid.
Supply Route
REX will blow, and Liquid will tie you up. He'll throw words at you for several
minutes, and gesture towards Meryl, who has a Time Bomb next to her. You know have
three minutes to give your brother a good whoopin'.
 FINAL
BOSS: LIQUID SNAKE
Actually, Liquid's pretty easy. Just focus on him with single punches, like
when you were fighting the Ninja. Using combo attacks can leave you open. Oh, and
watch your step, because if you fall, you won't be coming back. Once you punch him
out, you'll toss him over the edge. Time to get out of here before the base is nuked.
Depending on whether or not you submitted to your torture, your escape partner will
be different.
Ravi's Strategy - You can't actually fall off the edge since Snake grabs onto the
edge. Same with Liquid. When he does that go a tad bit back. He will jump back.
Now knock him off the edge again. You can repeat this for a while. Quite useful?
Also, if you think he's about to head butt into you, just go off the ledge. Then
climb back up and sock him. Also, if you find yourself missing him when you kick
him (and he hits you instead) try tapping "B" twice so you just punch him and have
the time to get away before he hits you.
Escape Route
You might wanna grab the RATION, since you don't have any items anymore. Head
up the stairs and to the jeeps. Your buddy will fail to find keys in the first jeep,
then start up the second jeep. While this is going on, you either have to hold off
your enemies or hide from them. There's a RATION in the southwest corner of this
room, too. Once the jeep is started, hop onto the back and grab the machine gun.
Start firing at your enemies, as well as the barrels next to the gate. Blowing those
will bust open the gate, and you will start driving up the tunnel. On the way to
the outside are two checkpoints. Shoot the barrels out of the way, then you'll drive
up to the surface. Just before you reach the surface, Liquid will show up again
(geez, does that guy EVER die?) Use the machine gun to fend off Liquid. Just after
you start passing pillars in the middle of the tunnel, you're almost there. Once
the cutscene starts, the game is over. Liquid will become a victim of Fox-Die and
the two of you will make your escape. Congratulations! You once again saved the
free world from the threat of Metal Gear! Following your victory, you'll be tallied
on your abilities, which is related to your time, your number of saves, continues,
people killed, and rations used. You can put your code up on the Internet to check
your rankings.

exits include the south door, leading back to Communication Tower A (which you'll
need C4 to open), and the northwest door, which leads to Communication Tower B.

overhead; be prepared to duck. Exits are at the top floor, southeast side, leading
