1 x Giant Anaconda (Appears after you get the Backpack)
3 x Reticulated Python
2 x Magpie
3 x Tree Frog
4 x Siberian Ink Cap
5 x Russian False Mango
2 x Russian Oyster Mushroom
After Snake lands equip your Survival Knife and go to the tree to your left
and up to the north. Go into FPV and collect the mushroom here by stabbing it
with the knife. You can also collect some tree frogs in the tall grass you
are standing in, but you shouldn't bother with them.
Head left a little ways and take the mushroom on the ground by the tree, just
past the opening. Continue left some more and go south half way to get a
mushroom on the stump. Head north and to the left to get another mushroom. You
can jump this fallen tree with Triangle and jump down the other side.
In this little closed off section you can kill two Reticulated Pythons. There
is also an ammo box for the M1911A1. Head back over the log and go right a
little to reach the opening north.
Crawl under the log and kill the Python. Now walk over to the light green
vines on the tree and press Triangle to automatically climb to the branch.
Head right across the branch and press Triangle to flip down onto your
Backpack.
Snack will then flip down and talk on the radio. After the conversation is
over a cut-scene begins. Head north to see a Giant Anaconda on the ground,
just after getting out of the tall grass. Kill it and put t with the rest of
your food. There are also five Russian False Mangos you can shoot out of the
tree to the left of the climb-able tree.
Head back south and under the log again. Now go right and then take the north
route, switching to Leaf camo and crawl through the grass. When you reach the
open dirt area, crawl to the next tall grass section and kneel right before
going in. Look for a patch of moving grass off to the left and toss a grenade
in that spot.
This will kill two Magpie, collect them for your food supply. There is also
another M1911A1 ammo box up here in the top corner. Go left and slide down the
hillside. No head north into the next area.

1 x M37 Ammo Box
4 x Golova
1 x Hornet's Nest
6 x Indian Gavial
4 x Magpie
2 x Reticulated Python
2 x Siberian Ink Cap
7 x Tree Frog
As you come around the corner to the left you will see a tree in the middle of
this little area. Just to the left of the tree are two Magpie sitting on the
ground. If you scare them away, move a little ways off and they will return.
Just after the tree going north is a Siberian Ink Cap mushroom. Continue
north to reach an open area with some Indian Gavial (Alligators). There is
another Siberian Ink Cap just to your left, before reaching the swamp water.
Be careful in this water, if you stand in it to long, you will sink in to your
death. For now head along the bottom right side safely along the land. You
will soon come to an alligator, youcan throw a grenade into its mouth for a
silent kill, shoot it once in the face with the sniper rifle, or shoot it with
the shotgun.
After you kill it, continue along the edge collecting the food it leaves
behind and take the grenade box hidden under the bushes. You will see another
Alligator, dispose of it and take the food. There is another box of grenades
in this corner as well.
Laying in the bushes pull out your sniper rifle and shoot the two alligators
sitting on the center island. Then shoot the hornet's nest hanging from the
tree inbetween the two gators. Go over and pick up whatever you want to carry.
You can also wait a little bit and shoot two more Magpie as they land on the
branch near the hornet's nest.
Run and roll over to the island to get to it fast, collecting your food before
it dissapears. There is also another grenade box for you to collect.
From the middle island look at the north west corner. Two more alligators are
sitting over here. Kill them and go over there to collect the food if you want
and an M37 ammo box.
Now head through the northeastern part, there are two Reticulated Pythons
here, as well as some fruit on the ground (fallen from tree, stab with a
knife) and in the middle tree for a total of four Golova. Head north into the
next area when you are ready.

4 x Enemy Soldiers
1 x M1911A1 Ammo Box
2 x M16 Ammo Box
1 x Stun Grenade Box
1 x SVD Ammo Box
4 x Magpie
2 x Reticulated Python
4 x Siberian Ink Cap
2 x Sunda Whistling-Thrush
3 x Tree Frog
This area starts with a cut-scene of Snake's first encounter with enemy
soldiers. Run over to the right once you gain control of Snake to enter an
unpatroled area. Head up the hill and into the tall grass, you will find an
SVD ammo box, an M1911A1 ammo box, and two Reticulated Pythons.
Now you will have to sneak back into the previous area with a guard that walks
in and back out the way he came. Tiger Stripe and Leaf camos work the best
getting back into the first section. Get into the tall grass and switch into
your Leaf camo.
Wait in the grass for the guard to leave this area and head south towards the
previous areas entrance. Hide in this tall grass so you can let the guard
return and leave without seeing you.
Now crawl to the north and left past the chopped up tree stumps into the next
patch of tall grass. There is a Siberian Ink Cap Mushroom by the stump if you
need it.
Crawl over to the fallen log and go inside it for cover, switch to Tiger
Stripe camo to help with your visibility level. When you know the coast is
clear enough for you to crawl to the patch of grass ahead, go for it and
switch back to your Leaf camo.
Wait for the enemy guard to pass by you again so that he is heading towards
the way you came. Then crawl out heading north into the next patch of tall
grass. Make sure the second guard up here is heading north as well, so he
doesn't see you.
Quickly crawl into the next set of tall grass and head left as the guard
coninues straight. Go into the tree stump with the M16 ammo box and switch to
the Tree Bark camo. Press up against the back of the stump and crouch down.
Let the guard pass by and head back to the north. This lets you know the first
guard is also heading back south into the area that doesn't concern you
anymore.
Quickly crawl back into the south grass patch and switch back to the Leaf
camo. Now when you get out the other end of the grass turn to Snake's left
and enter a new section. Switch to Tiger Stripe and hug the bottom portion of
this section.
Crawl along and quickly get around the logs to get a Stun Grenade box and a
Siberian Ink Cap Mushroom. Now crawl into the tall grass on the right side and
put on your Leaf camo. Head across until you reach a fallen log. A Giant
Anaconda is sitting right along this area.
Go to the bottom side of the log and crouch. Put on the Thermal goggles and
check the location of the guard in this section. If you don't see him, quickly
stand up and hop over the log with triangle. Then lay back down in the grass.
When the guard walks off for a while, crawl to the right onto the dirt and
switch into your Black camo. Crawl into the open tree trunk to get a grenade
box. Now camp out in here until the guard comes back and leaves once more.
Once he leaves again, crawl around to the right and up into the tall grass.
Switch back to Leaf camo and crawl along the wall until you reach the edge of
the grass. Go to the left side of the fallen log and fire a silenced shot with
your tranquilizer gun into the tall grass right next to the log. This will
scare away three Magpie. Go inside the fallen log to provide cover along with
some M16 ammo. and quickly leave the other side so the Magpie don't come back.
If they do, they may give away your position.
Wait in the grass for the guard to walk past to your left. Now crawl forward
along the wall and into the dark spot, switch to the Tiger Stripe camo. Lay
down here and don't move at all. The final guard for this area will walk right
up to the dark spot and stand there for a few seconds. He won't see you unless
you move.
Once he leaves, crawl towards his direction and get into the tall grass, make
sure to switch into the Leaf camo. Wait until he heads back away from you and
then crawl into the next area.

Crawl into the tall grass over looking the two guards. Let the one guard go
across the bridge. Pull out your silenced tranquilizer gun or .45 and aim at
the Hornet's Nest. Wait until the guard goes underneath it and shoot it down.
This causes him to get hoarded with Hornet's and makes him run across the
bridge, quickly hop down and move towards the bridge. If it worked right, it
will attack the other three guards as well.
Run across the bridge with them and turn left as soon as you get off the
bridge. take out your silenced pistol once more and wait for the next guard to
stand under the beehive. Shoot it down to cause him to run as well.
Now all four guards have run out of this area, head up and to the left to make
it around a hill. Head south and you will come to a narrow path. Hug the wall
and side step into a little indention under the bridge.
Quickly get up and jump down the side of the cliff into the tall grass. Run
around the wall going right, and duck into the third patch of grass. Fill up
your stamina to the max. Two guards will eventually come back over to your
side, starting the process all over.
Wait until the guard starts going back across the bridge and crawl after him.
Switch into your Tree Bark camo and continue across. If for any reason you
think you may get spotted, quickly get to an edge of the bridge and press
Triangle to hang off the edge of the bridge. Try to move slowly and when its
safe quickly press Triangle again so you climb back up. Watch your grip meter
below your life though.
Change into your Tiger Stripe camo and head over the the left part of the
bridge. Stand up real fast and slowly walk off the cliff side so Snake will
grab onto the edge. Drop down and press Triangle so grab onto the tree branch
or the cliff edge. Then press Triangle again to pull yourself up.
In here you will find an MK22 ammo box, an M37 ammo box, and a Life Recovery
Medicine. By this time some new guards have moved into the area, so you'll
need to move fast. Equip the Tiger Stripe camo and squeeze against the narrow
path to head back up.
Crawl up the path and into the tall grass on the hill. Wait for any guards to
get out of your line of sight and make a dash for the north exit.

When you enter the next area a cut-scene will begin, followed by some talk on
the radio. When you gain control of Snake again, run t the right side of the
path. Switch to your Leaf camo and go into the tall grass.
Head through the hole in the stone gate and crawl through the grass until
Snake comes out into third person view, but stay in the grass so you are at
least 90% invisble. One guard is walking up the path towards you, while the
closer guard is walking down the path to the right.
Wait for both guards to come back and then leave again. Now head to the right,
crawling along the fence past the two barrels and into some grass. Hide in
here until the guard heads back again to the same spot.
Continue once again to the right along the fence into another patch of tall
grass. Look back the way you came and wait for the guard to come towards you
and then head back to the opposite direction.
Change into the Tiger Stripe camo and crawl north. When you reach the dark
green patch, change into the Leaf camo. Head up and to the right, to get
into some more tall grass. Tranquilize the guard behind the crates and
put on the Tiger Stripe camo.
Crawl over to the crates and wrap around them. Now head over to the corner
of the red factory. Stand up and press Triangle to climb up the ladder.
Now put on the Squares camo and crawl down to the south end of the roof,
keeping about 5 shingle layers away from the right edge. Any closer and you
risk being spotted, and any closer on the left and the bird may give you away.
Standing up, use the Analog Stick to jump off the roof and land behind the
right boxes. Now enter the brownish door to get inside and finish the DEMO.

After Snake lands equip your Survival Knife and go to the tree to your left
and up to the north. Go into FPV and collect the mushroom here by stabbing it
with the knife. You can also collect some tree frogs in the tall grass you
are standing in, but you shouldn't bother with them.
Head left a little ways and take the mushroom on the ground by the tree, just
past the opening. Continue left some more and go south half way to get a
mushroom on the stump. Head north and to the left to get another mushroom. You
can jump this fallen tree with Triangle and jump down the other side.
In this little closed off section you can kill two Reticulated Pythons. There
is also an ammo box for the M1911A1. Head back over the log and go right a
little to reach the opening north.
Crawl under the log and kill the Python. Now walk over to the light green
vines on the tree and press Triangle to automatically climb to the branch.
Head right across the branch and press Triangle to flip down onto your
Backpack.
Snack will then flip down and talk on the radio. After the conversation is
over a cut-scene begins. Head north to see a Giant Anaconda on the ground,
just after getting out of the tall grass. Kill it and put t with the rest of
your food. There are also five Russian False Mangos you can shoot out of the
tree to the left of the climb-able tree.
Head back south and under the log again. Now go right and then take the north
route, switching to Leaf camo and crawl through the grass. When you reach the
open dirt area, crawl to the next tall grass section and kneel right before
going in. Look for a patch of moving grass off to the left and toss a grenade
in that spot.
This will kill two Magpie, collect them for your food supply. There is also
another M1911A1 ammo box up here in the top corner. Go left and slide down the
hillside. No head north into the next area.

As you come around the corner to the left you will see a tree in the middle of
this little area. Just to the left of the tree are two Magpie sitting on the
ground. If you scare them away, move a little ways off and they will return.
Just after the tree going north is a Siberian Ink Cap mushroom. Continue
north to reach an open area with some Indian Gavial (Alligators). There is
another Siberian Ink Cap just to your left, before reaching the swamp water.
Be careful in this water, if you stand in it to long, you will sink in to your
death. For now head along the bottom right side safely along the land. You
will soon come to an alligator, youcan throw a grenade into its mouth for a
silent kill, shoot it once in the face with the sniper rifle, or shoot it with
the shotgun.
After you kill it, continue along the edge collecting the food it leaves
behind and take the grenade box hidden under the bushes. You will see another
Alligator, dispose of it and take the food. There is another box of grenades
in this corner as well.
Laying in the bushes pull out your sniper rifle and shoot the two alligators
sitting on the center island. Then shoot the hornet's nest hanging from the
tree inbetween the two gators. Go over and pick up whatever you want to carry.
You can also wait a little bit and shoot two more Magpie as they land on the
branch near the hornet's nest.
Run and roll over to the island to get to it fast, collecting your food before
it dissapears. There is also another grenade box for you to collect.
From the middle island look at the north west corner. Two more alligators are
sitting over here. Kill them and go over there to collect the food if you want
and an M37 ammo box.
Now head through the northeastern part, there are two Reticulated Pythons
here, as well as some fruit on the ground (fallen from tree, stab with a
knife) and in the middle tree for a total of four Golova. Head north into the
next area when you are ready.

This area starts with a cut-scene of Snake's first encounter with enemy
soldiers. Run to the left of the stump in the little area, and around the
left side of the fallen tree. Up near the narrow path is a patch of tall
grass right next to it. Have Snake lay in it and crawl near the right side
so you can see the two guards down the path and equip the Leaf camo.
Wait for the one guard to walk south over to your location and shoot him
with a silenced weapon in the head. Get up and drag his body into the tall
grass you were just laying in.
Before the second guard makes it around his route to come back south, heading
towards you, move down the path into the tall grass where the two guards
started there routes. Looking a little to the left you will see an open tree
trunk. Aim to the left of it with a silenced weapon and wait for the guard to
walk in this dark area to take him out. Make sure his body is in the dark spot
and then head back south.
Turn down the right path inbetween the grass patches. Run down this path until
you reach the large field of tall grass. Crawl to the fallen log on the bottom
of the area. Now press X once to kneel and take out your M16 with a silencer
equipped. When he is standing in the tall grass shoot him in the head to
instantly drop him and have him automatically hidden in the tall grass.
Now jump over the log and head up along the wall. Crawl through the tall grass
and when you come out the opposite side, take out your sniper rifle. Aim off
to the left for the final guard. When he walks over to the dark area near the
wall, take him out. Now you can freely explore the area for any food or ammo
you may want to collect. Head through the exit when you are ready.

Crawl up to and through the tall grass to poke out a little over the cliff,
but watch your camouflage index percentage. Take out a silenced weapon and
wait until the one guard crosses the bridge. Shoot the guard that stays behind
when he reaches about the middle of the trees.
Drop down into the tall grass below and carefully carry his body into some tall
grass away from the main path of the bridge. Equip the Tiger Stripe camo and
crawl to the beginning of the wooden bridge. Two guards should be on the
bridge walking to the other side. Using the silenced M16 or the sniper rifle,
shoot the closest guard followed immediatly by the second guard. Both the
bodies should automatically be hidden by falling off the bridge into the river
below.
Now go to the right side of the bridge, staying on this side. Lay down
inbetween the bridge and the tall grass. Take out your sniper rifle and aim
across the chasm, waiting for the last guard to come out from behind the hill
on the left. Shoot him in the head and cross the bridge.
Once on the other side of the bridge go on the left of it and drop off the
cliff, catching yourself on the edge of the cliff below with Triangle. Go
inside the little cubby hole to collect some ammo and an item. Now hug the
wall and head up to the left. Continue down the path to enter the next area.

After you regain control from the cut-scene and the radio transmission head
across the path into the tall grass and equip the Leaf camo. Crawl through a
hole in the fence and into another patch of tall grass. A guard will head off
to the right and a second will head north, away from you.
Carefully and quickly head north across the path into the next patch of tall
grass. Crawl through the grass to get a good view of the guard, then pull out
your silenced .45 and shoot him in the head. Immediatly check around you with
either a radar or the Right Analog Stick to make sure the coast is clear for a
little bit, then quickly take the body into the tall grass.
Crawling through the tall grass is again, go a little bit towards where the
other guard went off to. Look through the grass for him and wait until he
passes the barrels near where you started, make sure you don't shoot him when
he is crossing past the barrels or else they may explode giving you away. Then
take out your silenced weapon and shoot him in the head when it is safe.
Now sitting on the edge of the tall grass move the camera around looking
inside the building's open area for a guard walking around on patrol. When he
is walking over to the right or staring at the other guard, equip the Tiger
Stripe camo, crawl through the factory door and to the left around the brown
crates.
Eventually he will come walking over to the orange boxes in the middle of the
room. As he turns around, crawl after him and shoot him with the silenced .45
before he passes the orange boxes again. Drag his body over behind the crates
you were at.
Now crawl around the boxes and to the north of the building. You will see
sideways barrel and a guard a little further north. When he is walking north,
away from you, crawl over to the crates a little ways up towards him and lay
down next to them. Stay as close to the building as possible and wait for him
to walk towards you and then eventually back north. As he is leaving crawl
around the crates and shoot him in the head with the silenced .45, drag his
body into the tall grass close by.
Now jump onto the first stack of crates next to the building and take out the
.45 pointing it through the hole in the wall. When the guard walks by, shoot
him in the head.
Jump down off the crate and head up to the tall grass where you just dropped
the guard before the last one. Equip the Squares camo and crawl through the
crawlspace under the factory. Head into the next section forward and look
through the grate next to the lit square in the corner. The square may be an
alternate way in or out in the official game.
Now take out a weapon and aim at the last guard, take him out. Turn to the
right and exit the crawl space. Head back into the factory area and jump
onto the ledge next to the large helium looking tanks. Go through the right
door and north into the metal door to finish the DEMO.

3. Extras
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
******************************************************************************
3.1 - Close-Quarters Combat
******************************************************************************
Close-Quarters Combat (CQC) is one ofthe new features in Metal Gear Solid 3.
To do CQC you will need to equip something that is available for it in the
DEMO (Bare Hands, Knife, Knife with Traquilizer Gun, or the knife with regular
gun) and use the Circle button. Depending on how you use the circle button
determines what kind of CQC move you will perform.
Pressing Circle in front of the enemy will perform a basic punch, use this to
knock them down and out.
If you press Circle when sneaking behind them you will grab the enemy from
behind. Once you have done this you can perform the following.
Push forward on the left analog stick and Circle to shove them to the ground.
Then pull out your gun and aim down at him. He will then get scared and give
you items. This may be how you will get Dog Tags in the Official Game.
You can also hold down Circle while you are holding them and press L3 to
interrogate them.
While still holding them press Square to pull out your gun and use him as a
human shield. This will make the others not shoot at you.
Rapidly press Circle to choke and break his neck.
Press Circle again to slice his throat.
******************************************************************************
3.2 - Food
******************************************************************************
Instead of Rations like in the previous Metal Gear Solid games you will have
to catch your own food while out on your mission. The food helps replenish
your stamina bar that drops everytime you do something in the game. Keeping
your stamina up will help you have a good grip bar and heal faster when
wounded. Be careful, if you hold food for to long, it will rot and become
useless to you, although you can throw it at enemies. Use Thermal Goggles to
easily spot any type of food including mushrooms. I found thirteen different
types of food in the DEMO.
Listed in Alphabetica order:
Giant Anaconda - There is one that appears in Dremuchij South right on the
edge of the tall grass by the climbable tree, but only after
you get your backpack. Another is in Dremuchij North off to
the right, sitting next to a fallen log in the larger area
with the black dirt. Provides a high stamina increase.
Golova - A few can be found in the trees in Dremuchij Swamp Land, north of the
swamp water. You can cut some down with the knife and shoot the
others to get at them. Provides a medium stamina increase.
Hornets' Nest - Found hanging in trees, Dremuchij Swamp Land on the center
island of land in the swamp, and two in the Dolinovodno area
before and after crossing the bridge. Snipe them from a
distance so the hornets' don't attack you. They will only go
after humans. Shoot them down when the enemy is near it
causing the hornet's to chase them out of the area.Provides a
high stamina increase.
Indian Gavial - These large alligator's are found in the Dremuchij Swampland.
When you kill one it gives you three portions to eat. Beware
of the gator's mouth and tail. They are so huge that Snake
can't cage them when you tranquilize them. You must kill them
if you want to take it with you. These provide a high medium
stamina increase.
Magpie - These small birds are found in Dremuchij South, Dremuchij Swamp Land,
and Dremuchij North. In area one two birds are up on the right hill.
In area two there are two sitting in the tall grass as you come
around the curve in the path as you first enter, and two are flying
around the hornet nest on the middle island in the swamp water. In
area three, there are four sitting in the tall grass in the large
area off to the right near the fallen hollow log. You should snipe
them, or use a grenade when they are on the ground. These provide a
medium stamina increase.
Rat - Found under the red factory crawl space, in the Rassvet Area. They
provide a small stamina increase.
Reticulated Python - Found in pretty much every area slithering through the
tall grass. These provide a descent amount of Stamina.
Russian False Mango - Found in a tree to the left of the tree which holds
your back pack in the Dremuchij South area. Provides a
somewhat medium stamina increase.
Russian Oyster Mushroom - Found in the Dremuchij South area. Pretty much the
same as the Siberian Ink Cap but a little better in
the amount that stamina is increased. Slice them up
with the knife so you don't waste ammunition. These
provide a somewhat medium stamina increase.
Siberian Ink Cap - Found in all but the last area of the DEMO. Pretty much the
same as the Russian Oyster Mushroom but a little less
powerful in replenishing the stamina. Cut them up with the
knife so you don't waste any ammunition. These give you a
small stamina increase.
Sunda Whistling-Thrush - Only three of these birds are found in the DEMO. Two
are located in Dremuchij North. They are in the tall
grass that the guard walks through on his way to the
area where you enter. The third bird is located in
Rassvet on the roof of the old factory building.
These provide a medium stamina increase.
Tree Frog - Found in every area except the last in the DEMO. You will need to
use Thermal Goggles most of the time to pick them out. They are
not worth the trouble and space they take up. They give a small
stamina increase.
Yabloko Moloko - Located in a tree in the Dolinovodno area before the bridge.
You can shoot them down to distract the enemy.Provides a
little less than medium stamina increase.
******************************************************************************
3.3 - Camouflage
******************************************************************************
Another new thing in the Metal Gear Solid Trilogy is the use of camouflage to
blend in better with the enviroment. Pressing the Start button and going into
the camouflage menu, you can change the face paint as well as your clothes.
Depending on where Snake is at the moment the camouflage will have a certain
percentage helping you hide. When your percentage drops drastically check the
menu to see if any of the other options will help you blend in. A negative
number will make you more visble to the enemy, a +00 will have no change to
your current visibility, and the positive number will help you blend in more.
The highest I have gotten the percentage is 95%.
In order from game:
No Paint - This option takes the face paint off Snake. You don't want to use
this option if you plan on sneaking silently to your destination
in the DEMO.
Woodland - Use this face paint in the woodlands, it will add 5% to your
invisibility. This is needed to make it through the DEMO and
without being seen. Just keep this equipped through the entire
DEMO unless you want to run through like Rambo.
Naked - This option is as useless as the No Paint face paint. It takes off
Snake's shirt, leaving him with no hiding percentage. You have no
help with this one, use when you want to be like Rambo.
Olive Drab - This is the default camo Snake has when he lands from his jump.
It blends in with the leaves and trees but not as good as the
other camo's.
Tiger Stripe - A good camo to lay in the grass and certain parts of the
ground. Good to use in trees, tall grass, soil, and the wooden
bridge. This will be one of the most used camos to stay hidden
throughout the DEMO.
Leaf - This camo is used in pretty much all the areas throughout the DEMO. You
will use this the most to stay out of sight.
Tree Bark - Usefull when pressed right up against a tree or stump.
Squares - Only useful when running around the red factory at the end of the
DEMO.
Black - This camo is better than the Olive Drab but not as good as any of the
other camos. Only useful in dark areas which the DEMO doesn't have
many areas. You might as well stick with the Tiger Stripe and the
Leaf camos.
******************************************************************************
