Banana camouflage
Get the high score in each stage of the Snake Vs. Ape mini-game to unlock the Banana
camouflage.
Cold War camouflage
Defeat Volgen to get the Cold War camouflage.
DPM camouflage
Successfully complete "Special" with top scores to unlock the DPM camouflage.
Alternately, obtain the "MGS3: First Bite" CD and download the camouflage from
it.
Fire camouflage
Defeat The Fury to get the Fire camouflage. The Fire camouflage is flame retardant; you
will not incur any burns.
Fly camouflage
Go to Grainy Gorki Lab second floor and go into the bathroom. Break the last stall door
off (kicking recommended). Go inside to find the Fly camouflage. When wearing it, flies
will suddenly swarm around you.
GA-KO camouflage
The GA-KO camo has the ability to make the Kirotan frogs call out to you when it is
equipped. It is located in the first swamp north of Sokolov's research facility. It is in
the northeast section, in shallow water. They will barely appear, even with thermal
goggles. Once it is equipped, exit the survival viewer and you will hear the Kirotan frog
only three times. If the sound is weak, you are not close to it. Move to another part of
the area and press Start to open the survival viewer. Then, press X to exit and hear the
frogs again. If the sound is stronger, then you are getting closer. Repeat this process to
find the Kirotan Frogs in every area.
Grenade camouflage
The Grenade camouflage gives Snake infinite grenades. It can be downloaded from the
official web site for the game.
Hornet Stripe camouflage
Defeat The Pain to get the Hornet Stripe camouflage.
Moss camouflage
Get near The End and when he hits you, open your map from survival viewer and sneak to the
red dot. The dot is The End. Point a shotgun at him. Note: The weapon must be the shotgun.
He will lay down but will not give it to you. Aim your shotgun two or three more times and
he will give the Moss camouflage to you.
Get Moss camouflage easily
To get the Moss camo easily you will need the Spirit Camouflage, a shotgun, and the AP
sensor. The Spirit camouflage eliminates the sound of your footsteps and the AP sensor
makes a lot of beeps when someone is near you. Run around until you get shot at. When you
get shot by The End, his location will appear on the map. Look at the map, and find his
position. Try to get around him, as you must approach him from behind. He cannot hear your
approach due to the Spirit camouflage. Run to his position, and when you get near, walk
slowly towards him. When you are a few feet away, point the M37 Shotgun at him. Do not
shoot. Just point at him in first person view. Keep moving the shotgun (while remaining in
first person view) up and down. When you have aimed at his head about three times he will
give you the Moss camouflage. The Moss camouflage will give you 100% camouflage in grassy
areas and restore your stamina when you are in the light.
Mummy camouflage
The Mummy camouflage helps Snake take less damage. It can be downloaded from the official
web site for the game.
Snake camouflage
Defeat The Boss to get the Snake camouflage.
Sneaking camouflage
Return to the locker where you originally stuffed Major Raidenkov into. This can only be
done after you get your equipment from EVA under the waterfall. When you return to the
locker and open it, instead of Raidenkov's body being inside, you will find the Sneaking
Suit. Put on the mask and the Sneaking Suit for some old fashioned 1960's Raiden action.
Note: Across from the suit and about two doors down is a worker's costume. This will allow
you to plant the C3 with no trouble, as the entire room is full of them; do not use the
mask as they will recognize that Ivan is dead.
Spider camouflage
The Fear's Spider camouflage is one of the best in the game. It will raise your camo up to
75 to 80 no matter where you are, but there is a catch. When wear it, the camo will drain
your stamina. It is best to only use it when absolutely needed.
Stealth camouflage
Find and shoot the hidden frog in every area to unlock the Stealth camouflage.
Green Face Paint
Successfully complete Duel mode and have the top score in "Normal" to unlock the
Green Face Paint.
Kabuki Face Paint
After you meet Eva behind the waterfall in Tikhogornyj, go back out of the waterfall. As
soon as you come out, there should be a small lake in front of you with fish in it. Look
in the northeast corner of the lake to find the Kabuki Face Paint.
Oyama Face Paint
Go to Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior: Inside Walls. Go to the west side of the area. Walk
north when you reach a light pole. There will be a grassy area next to the main building.
About halfway into the grassy area, there should be a hole in the wall which leads into a
duct. Enter the hole. Once inside, go to the left and the Oyama Face Paint will be there.
Snow Face Paint
When you get to Balshaya Past Base, go to the south. There should be a turret. To the left
of the turret is a tunnel. Go into the tunnel. Under the first wooden bridge, there will
be the Snow Face Paint.
Zombie Face Paint
The Zombie Face Paint is located in Rassvet. It is behind the building where you meet
Sokolov and EVA, and next to the two barrels. Note: It can only be found while in
Operation Snake Eater.
Tsuchinoko animal and Infinite Face Paint
A mousetrap is required for this trick. While you are fighting Ocelot, notice that there
is a tree that is cut off with branches sticking out the side that you can also climb.
Remember this tree and what it looks like. Then, go to Graniny Gorki South (immediately
after the Ponizovje Warehouse). Graniny Gorki South is a huge area filled with trees. Find
it that tree in the north, if you are coming from the Ponizovje Warehouse exit. When you
find it, there should be a lot of bushes nearby. Take your mousetrap and lay it down in
the bushes, mostly near that tree though. Place it about an inch of screen length away
from that tree. Lay it down and look at the ground. If done correctly, you should see a
rabbit hit the mousetrap first. Lay down on the floor and crawl to pick up your mousetrap
again (like a claymore mine), and get the animal as well. Then, get up, and put your
mousetrap down again. It does not have to be in the exact location, but close enough.
Then, instead of looking down, run around the forest until you hear the noise of a
captured animal. Run back. pick up the animal, and it should be a snake. Keep repeating
this process until you get the Tsuchinoko. There should be a rabbit, two snakes, a
squirrel, another snake, another squirrel, then the Tsuchinoko. Dispose of all of them or
eat them to fit the Tsuchinoko, because they are alive and take up space. When you
retrieve it, do not look in your food items area. Call Major Zero immediately. He will
tell you information that you may need to know. Keep it alive in the cage (do not eat it).
If you keep it alive through the entire game, when everything is completed and your
ranking appears at the end, you should notice that you now have the Infinite Face Paint.
Note: Use the following trick to keep the Tsuchinoko when you lose the food when Snake
gets captured at Groznyj Grad. When you find EVA at Tikhogornyj, behind Waterfall area she
will give you your backpack, Equip your MK22. Notice that in your food Items, you do not
have the Tsuchinoko. This is why you must hurry and go back out of the waterfall. When
your out of the waterfall, stay on the trail that you came out of from the waterfall (on
the right side of the river). Follow it down till you see the Tsuchinoko squirming on the
floor. Quickly shoot it with the MK22. Grab it and make sure that it is in a cage and
still alive. Take it through the rest of the game alive without eating it, and you will
get the Infinite Face Paint. Additionally, if you put down a mouse trap in any heavy
forrest area, save game afterwards. Then, keep reloading and checking your traps. You can
find the Tsuchinoko randomly caught in the trap. If you look and there is nothing decent
in the traps, press L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + Start + Select to reset the game. Go back into
"Load" and replay your saved game. Eventually there will be a Tsuchinoko in the
trap. This can take 5 minutes or 4 to 5 hours.
Hidden frog bonus
Find and shoot the hidden frog in each area to unlock a special camouflage.
Completion bonuses
Successfully complete the game to unlock the bandanna, camera, Patriot gun, Spirit
camouflage, Tuxedo camouflage, and extreme difficulty setting. When the Bandanna is worn
in a new game you will have infinite ammunition. The Patriot gun fires like a machine gun
and carries infinite ammo. However, if you use it during the game it will lower your rank
at the end. While equipping The Sorrow's Spirit camouflage, be careful of how you attack
an enemy. Your stamina goes down with every enemy you kill.
PAL version completion bonuses
Successfully complete the European PAL version of the game to unlock Duel mode, European
Extreme mode, and Demo Theatre mode. Note: After all intermission sequences are unlocked
in Demo Theatre mode, a bonus "Peep Show" sequence featuring Eva in her
underwear in various videos will become selectable.
Single Action Army
To get the Single Action Army gun, when you are at the final duel with Ocelot choose the
right box. He will shoot you, but it is a blank. He feels that he got his revenge, puts
the gun in your pocket, and falls out the airplane. If you choose the left box, you will
shoot him, then give the gun back to him. Thus you, will not start with it in the next
game.
Using the Single Action Army
In order to kill anyone with the Single Action Army, do not to shoot the enemy, but
instead shoot behind the enemy. The Single Action Army ricochets. Shooting behind the
enemy will cause the bullets to bounce back and hit him. When you equip the Single Action
Army revolver, go into first person view and move the Right Analog-stick in circles to
spin it.
Snake's nightmare
When captured in the cell after Volgin's torture, save and quit (while inside the cell).
Snake will go to sleep. When you load the game again, it will appear that you are in a
colorless room with men attacking you with canes. After a while, Snake will wake up
shocked. Note: If you do not quit after the save, you will not fall asleep; remember
Para-Medic's words "If you save the game and quit, you will fall asleep..."
Watch intermission sequence through Snake's eyes
At specific points during some intermission sequences, the caption "R1" will
appear for a moment at the upper right corner. Pressing this will allow you to see through
Snake's eyes during that exact moment, giving you a unique perspective and occasionally
allow you to see something hidden. Sometimes, but not always, you will even be able to
move around your view with the Left Analog-stick (for example, at the beginning of
Operation Snake Eater when you are in the jet, look up to see a hidden picture of a
model). Note: Press X to skip the intermission sequence. Press Triangle to zoom in.
See Ocelot in intermission sequence
During the final intermission sequence, just after Snake is given his medal, press R1 (it
is not prompted) If you look to the left, you can see Ocelot for the last time outside of
the window.
Hidden intermission sequences
In Groznyj Grad after the torture scene, you will wake up in the prison. Get the fork and
remove the bullet, but do not remove the transmitter. Then, continue the game. Later when
you meet Eva behind the water fall, there will be a funny extra intermission sequence that
takes place after Snake pushes her away from the kiss. The extra scene will only play if
you still have the transmitter in you at this point.
After you have been captured and find yourself in the cell, do not break out admiralty.
Hang around for awhile. You will see the guard "Johnny" get sick and run to the
bathroom. Let this happen at least three times. After the third time an intermission
sequence will begin, where Snake and Johnny talk, and he gives Snake his cigs with the
knock out gas.
While facing The End, let him shoot you with as many tranquilizer darts as possible until
you collapse. When this happens, a hidden intermission sequence begins, showing him
picking you up and carrying you all the way back to Graniny Gorki, with the Japanese model
and the frog on the table. For some reason he forgets and leaves the door completely open
for your escape.
When fighting Ocelot on the wig, choose the pistol on the left (loaded). Then, let Ocelot
shoot all of six shots and wait. After awhile, an intermission sequence will occur where
Ocelot asks why Snake did not shoot.
After defeating The Boss, a horse will come to you. Hold R1 to see the ghost of The Boss
behind the horse. The R1 display up at the top right is not shown.
At the end when Snake is looking at the grave of The Boss, then salutes it, press R1 to
see all the graves around him moving as if blurred from tears.
Hidden ending text
After dying, remain idle at the "Game Over" screen. The letters will change
until the words "Time Paradox" appears; this also happens if Eva, Revolver
Ocelot, or Sokolov dies.
Game developers' faces
Take some pictures when you are facing The Sorrow. Save them, then go into the picture
viewer. Start editing the colors and you will notice faces of the game developers in the
photos.
In-game reset
While playing the game, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start + Select.
Referred as dead on the radio
When fighting The Sorrow, call anyone using your radio. They will think you are dead and
start talking as if you died in any part of the game.
Cancel alert radio
Tune to 144.40 on your radio to cancel Alert mode. Note: This can only be done one time.
Additionally, during alert mode, grab a guard and interrogate him. He will give you a
radio frequency number. Call it and the alert will go away; the number changes each time.
The following is a list of some of the "Cancel alert" frequencies:
140.61
141.45
141.98
142.79
146.67
149.46
Healing radio
Using the interrogation maneuver on some guards by using L3 while engaged in Close
Quarters Combat. This will make them spit out various hints, some of which will tell you
secret stations you can tune to with your radio. After getting at least one secret
frequency number, a new selection under your "Memory" will be available called
"Healing Radio". There are a total of eight secret frequencies you can find.
Each will heal Snake to various degrees when you listen to them, and your life/stamina
meter will appear to show you by how much it is helping you. The following is a list of
all "Healing Radio" frequencies:
148.39 Surfing Guitar / 66 Boys
146.65 Rock Me Baby / 66 Boys
148.96 Pillow Talk / Starry.K
144.86 Jumpin' Johnny / Chunk Raspberry

camouflages:
Animals camouflage (reduces hand shaking when aiming guns)
Cold War camouflage (some enemies hesitate when shooting)
Fire camouflage (fire damage reduced)
Hornet Stripe camouflage (keep hornets, leeches, and spiders away; can tame hornets)
Snake camouflage
Spider camouflage (stealth increased while stamina is reduced)
View item and weapon details
While in the backpack, you can see the informaion for an item (hold R2) or a weapon (hold
L2). This is different from the viewer by pressing R1. You can use the D-pad or Right
Analog-stick to scroll through your equipped items. Note: This only applies to items or
weapons you have equipped.
EZ gun
Capture all 47 animals and plants to get the EZ gun. Note: You do not have to keep or eat
them. After capturing one, you can drop it from your inventory. Alternately, play the game
on the very easy difficulty setting to get the EZ gun, which has infinite tranquilizer
bullets.
Mosin Nagant gun
After defeating The End, go directly west to find a clearing. The box should be there. Use
thermal goggles to find it easier. The rifle is called a Mosin Nagant and is a
tranquilizer sniper rifle. Call Sigint while gun is equipped for a history lesson.
Shotgun
The shotgun is located in East Sokrovenno. When you meet The End, turn back to the south
exit. You will find an area with lots of traps (you just passed the area to meet The End).
Once you are there, turn east and there will be a cottage. The shotgun is located in the
area. Additionally, when you fall into the dark cave, get the torch behind the waterfalls.
Then, craw through a tunnel to get on top of the waterfalls. Keep going until you see two
tunnels, one directly ahead and another on your right. Go to the one on your right. Keep
going and you should see a place with a long hole in the wall. Use your torch and look on
the ground near the hole. You will see a long box containing the shotgun. The shotgun is
also useful against The Pain.
American portable light machine gun
This weapon is located in the room behind some boxes where the shotgun is found. Check the
entire area to find more items. Note: It is recommended to first eliminate all the enemies
before searching the area. You can go back to fight The End.
Quick reload
While reloading your gun, quickly press R2(2), which will unequip and re-equip your gun to
cancel the reloading time and still have your gun reloaded with ammunition. This method is
only effective with guns that take more than two seconds to reload (for example, the
RPG-7).
Aiming firearms
When firing either of your pistols (the MK22 or the M9111A1), you will aim using the
center pin of the sight. Whatever that pin is on is what you will be firing at. When using
any other weapon, the shot goes directly towards the middle of your screen.
Battle damaged Snake
Before you go into surgery for any necessary treatment of wounds, change Snake's
camouflage to "Naked." After you apply bandages to wounds, they will show up on
Snake's body.
Sleeping Snake
To make Snake fall asleep with "Zzz" above his head, eat a special mushroom to
the west of the warehouse.
Snake stretches
Go into the survival viewer and go to "Cure" Press R1(3) to see Snake
stretching. It changes depending on his status.
Sick Snake
During a mission, go into the items screen by pressing Start. Press R1 to go into View
mode to see Snake in the middle, and a set of coordinates on the left side of the screen.
Both Analog-sticks will control the rotation of the view of Snake. Spin the view very fast
either to the left or right so that Snake is spinning, and tilt the camera up and down
continuously. Do this for at least ten seconds then exit back to the game. If done
correctly, Snake should vomit. Note: Be careful as patrols can hear Snake vomit.
Purge poison
When Snake is stricken with food poisoning, use the "Sick Snake" trick to make
him vomit. It will cure the food poisoning. Note: The "Sick Snake" can be done
when standing and crouching.
Special snake
When you are fighting The Boss at the field of daffodils, throw a grenade anywhere when
you get the chance. If you hear the sound of an animal turning into a ration, put your
thermal goggles on and look for the ration with a special snake inside. Press Start and
look at your food. If you picked it up, you will have a snake named after one of the sons
of Big Boss. You can eat it, and he loves it. If you do not find a ration or hear a sound,
throw another grenade. Eventually you will get one. They are mostly near the rocks.
Sleep talking
In the scene where you have to reach the Wig with Eva injured, shoot her with a
tranquilizer dart. She will pass out and begin to talk in her sleep. To wake her up again,
go into the survival viewer and cure her with the knife. Alternately, you can kick her
awake. Eventually, eva will replace the word "Snake" with other names like
"Boss" and "Fido".
Crocodile cap
When you meet EVA the first time, in the next area is a big swamp. Get into the swamp and
go north. You will see two logs blocking your way. Go underwater and cross the logs to get
to the area, where there is an ivy tree. Climb up the tree and press Triangle. Hang and
move on the rope until you see another rope beneath you. When you see another rope, hang
so that it comes directly beneath you and press X and then Triangle to grab to the second
rope. Move yourself all the way to the other side of the rope and drop down to get the
crocodile cap.
Fork
When in the prison cell after Colonel Volgin's torture, look around on the floor. There is
a fork. This can be used to skewer small animals (which Snake immediately eats), or as a
method of self defense.
Handkerchief
In the east wing of the Groznyj Grad Weapons facility, in the "break room" area
just north of the door leading to the hanger, there are two tables. Underneath one of
these two tables (usually the left) is a box containing a handkerchief soaked in a
knockout agent. It is highly effective when used in CQC.
Instant kill
For a quick kill, manually aim at the target's head and shoot. If this does not kill them
instantly, it will do a good amount of damage and they will probably die after the next
shot.
Kill Gavial crocodile
When a Gavial opens its mouth to yawn, throw a grenade in and it will blow up into little
pieces. Pick up all of the pieces for rations.
Golovas
When you get Golovas, which are the all around best food in the game in restoring stamina,
do not dispose of them if they spoil. Eat them even if they are spoiled. It does not
matter because you can just open up the Cure Survival menu and spin Snake around so that
he throws up when you exit it, therefore curing the food poisoning. You will lose a
quarter stamina, but it is worth it when you are low on food or are not able to hunt.
Saving medical supplies
If running low on medical supplies or want to use less, only heal part of the wound. As
you heal the wound, the circle around it will become smaller. When healing a wound with
one item, it will make the wound automatically heal, but the more supplies used the faster
it will heal.
Finding medical supplies
You can get medical supplies from special garden plants (which appear using the thermal
goggles), holding up soldiers/scientists, dragging scientists, and from special fruits and
animals.
Avoiding detection by workers
When wearing a scientist or maintenance uniform, stay away from other workers as they will
know you are not one of them. Use cig-spray or the handkerchief to knock them out first.
Sneaking around the Groznyj Grad
When you first get to the Groznyj Grad, there are Ocelot's guard's. Some are very stupid.
If you are near a guard or anything else, tap on the wall to get them near you. Then, kill
them with any of your EZ or other guns and they will be down for awhile. Note: If another
guard is near the guard that you hit, he will say, "Are you ok?" or something
similar. If you have Major Raikov's uniform on, this may not work. If you do not have the
Major's hat, no one will believe you, and they will take you down. When you get nearer to
where you need to go (anywhere in the area), hide under or in trucks until the guards are
gone. Note: If you are on caution, and still in the 90's or 80's, go under a car or truck
and do not move. Sometimes the guards can see you under them, and in alert they can still
find you. If they see you, they will attack and alert mode will keep rising. When a guard
is near you and you are not on caution or alert mode, take out your knife or dagger. Do
not get to close and hit or cut them in the leg. This will make them fall to the ground.
This may not always work if you are in alert or caution mode. Do not attack; the more you
hit a guard in caution or alert mode, the more the alert or caution mode will rise and
make it difficult for you to escape. If you are found by a guard, run or attack. If you
choose to attack, use the EZ gun to knock them out. If more are coming, do the same,
though. If you choose to escape, if there are boxes nearby and a guard has not seen you
yet, climb the boxes and go on a roof and lay down. This may not always work. If there are
no boxes available, but there is a door, go though that door. In most cases, there is a
truck in every area. Hide under them. In one or two parts of the base are secret openings
in the ground that lead to specific areas for an easy escape.
Act like a scientist
While wearing the scientist uniform, press Triangle to adjust your glasses or hold
Triangle to hold your finger at your glasses, posing like an actual scientist.
Bigger torch flame
This trick is has no actual effect other than making the flame look bigger when you swing
it. Get the torch and NVG in the cave. Equip them both from your backpack and turn them
both on. Your flame will appear twice as large, and when sparks shoot off they are more
visible.
False grenade
Take out a grenade. When you take it out, you can hear Snake pull the pin out. Then, run
around or stay in one spot. The grenade will not blow up.
Sonar
Be careful when using the sonar. If you are close to an enemy and use it, they can hear
the sonar "beep". This has the potential of putting them on alert.
Escaping from prison
After being tortured by Volgin, you will be put into a prison cell. There are two ways to
get out. The first is to get the fork off the ground and dig out the fake death pill that
The Boss shot into your leg out and use it. Or, if you pressed R1 during the torture scene
you may have seen The Sorrow holding a number (144.75). Call this while you are in prison.
The doors will open and you will be able to escape. Additionally, an alternate way to get
out of the prision cell after Volgin's torture, is to make Snake sick. Snake will vomit,
and the guard will open the door to check on you. As soon as he opens the door, take him
out and you will be free.
Escaping torture
To escape Volgin's torture unharmed, hold R2. This saves health for the time that you get
outside. You will have leftover energy for when you get shot.
Regaining stamina after torture
When in the prison cell after Colonel Volgin's torture, wait a little while. The guard
makes two stops by your cell. With each stop he says "Chow Time!" and throws you
a ration. There is also a rat running around your cell. Use the fork to skewer and eat it
to help regain stamina.
Annoy guard in torture chamber
Go up to the prison door and make noise (press Circle). Keep doing this and he will
eventually get mad and say "No more food for you" or something similar. Note: He
may literally stop giving you food; before you do this stock up on food or get your
stamina up by killing the rats. Also, if you hide under the bed he also gets angry.
Saluting guard
When dressed as Radien, go to a solider and hold Triangle. The longer you hold Triangle,
the longer they will salute.
Sick prison guard
After the torture scene and you are in the cell, throw the food you are given (and the
rat). The guard will say, "Oh you're not hungry? Thanks!". The guard will then
say, "OWHHWH...." "OWW... I can't hold it any more". He will run for
the restroom, start screaming, then say, "OHH... I don't think it will come out"
followed later by, "I didn't think that was possible". He will try to flush the
toilet, and it will become clogged.
Poisoned guard
Toss a snake at a guard. This will cause the guard to wrestle with it. If its a poisonous
snake, it will infect the guard.
Weaker guards
Whenever you come up on a Russian outpost, try to find their food and ammo supply
houses/rooms. Plant TNT charges and the houses/rooms will explode. This will cause the
enemy in that area to get weaker. You can hear them saying how hungry they are. If you
take a ration or something and throw it at a group of soldiers they will yell
"Food!" and race for it. If they start shooting at you, after they use up that
clip they will have to switch to their pistol.
Sprinting guard
In Groznyj Grad 1F immediately after you meet up with Eva in the waterfall, when u go
through the door you will hear someone saying "Move!" and shooting. When you go
closer, you will see two guards. One guard is running back and forth and the other is
shooting in the air and screaming "Sprint!" and "On the double!"
Interrogate guard with a shield
When the guard gets close, throw a grenade. He will become dazed. That is your chance to
grab and interrogate him. Note: Use him as a shield to kill other guards first.
Defeating guards with shields
To kill a guard with a shield, shoot the slit. This saves heath and time. This requires
good aim.
Opening the door in weapons lab and getting Scorpion
To open the door that requires a radio frequency, you must capture a guard. Hold the knife
to him to get the information by pressing L3 (145.86). Call that while standing in front
of door to open it. You should hear a click. Once inside the door, the very powerful
Scorpion (includes laser sighting) can be found in the far northeast of the room, along
with ammunition. Note: The room can only be entered through the door located to the east.
The one to the west does not open until after the east door is opened. There is an officer
that keeps walking through a locked door. All you have to do to get the Scorpion is follow
him into the room while wearing the scientist's disguise.
Drunk Granin
Stay after talking to Granin in the little room between the cells and the room he is drunk
in. He laughs and starts saying "Someone's in here!", falls asleep, then dreams
"Ahh Tanya yes ohhh". Note: Keep knocking on his door and he will get angry.
Eva's bathing suit
After you crash with Eva, after beating the Shagohod there will be two more areas before
you reach The Boss. In the second area, there will be a fork. There will be a tree at the
very beginning of the right fork. Go behind it and enter first person view. Shoot the
frog. Then, get near Eva and open up the survival viewer. Go to "Cure", then to
Eva. She should now be in her bathing suit.
Jiggly Eva
When you are with Eva go to the cure screen and press R1. This will display an x-ray of
her. If you zoom in, notice that everything is visible. Also, if you move the camera up
and down she will get a little jiggly. Additionally, when you are helping her through the
woods after the crash, go to the survival viewer and view her skeleton. Zoom in close,
then turn her to the side.
Aggravate Eva
At the scene where you have to make your way to the Wig with an injured Eva, take a fake
death pill. She will be alerted and rush to your side. If you revive yourself, she will be
annoyed at you. Continue doing this and she will not believe you, making her more
aggravated each time.
Lay on the ground and wait for Eva to also lie down. Try to crawl on top of Eva. She will
start yelling and you will get a Codec call from Para medic.
Stare at Eva for a few seconds and she will tell you to stop.
Hide from Eva in a box or put on the Monkey Mask in front of her.
Put books down in front of Eva. She will start yelling and call Snake a pervert.
Suggestive Eva comments
After the motorcycle crashes, shoot Eva with a dart. This will make her say things like,
"mmm… thats the spot..." and "Ohh... Snake that feels so
good…".
Interrogate Eva
Get Eva to stand, then grab her and interrogate her as you would a guard. She will say
four different things. Note: You must keep holding L3.The comments are: "And then
when I was 17", "Instant noodles", "36 23 34", and "Up up
down down left right I forgot the rest". Additionally, when you interrogate Eva, she
says four things. These all have meaning, however insignificant. "And then when I was
17..." means that she is telling Snake about her life, and only got up to 17 years
old here. "Instant noodles" refers to the food you obtain in the game. "36
23 34" are her measurements (bust, waist, hips). "Up up down down, left right I
forgot the rest" is a code from the NES game, Contra.
Eva's medical record
Near the end of the game when you are supposed to cure Eva, take a look at her medical
history. Among many other injuries you will find a breast enhancement, a broken
fingernail, a bad case of gas, and some other funny things.
Get Eva through extreme mode
Use the following trick to complete areas when you are with Eva in extreme mode. Its very
difficult to bypass the parts with Eva in extreme mode because there are a lot of enemies
and her stamina runs low very quickly. Put her to sleep by shooting her with your
tranquilizer gun. By doing this, her stamina replenishes and does not run low. Carry her
yourself so she does not get lost, left behind, or shot and dies. To wake her up at the
end of the areas, go to "Cure" and use the survival knife to awaken her.
Wound Ocelot
After you complete the game, you should get a Single Action Army or a Patriot. Play the
game again until Snake fights Ocelot (in movie mode) for the first time. When Ocelot and
all of his guards are passed out, shoot Ocelot in the leg once (Single Action Army
recommended). If done correctly, when you fight him in the game he will have a bandage
around his leg. You can also kill him, and the Colonel will come on and say something
funny about not killing him because you need him for the future.
Kill Ocelot
After you get Sokolov, and after the scenes, the GRU soldiers will be on the ground. Just
kill Ocelot as you would a soldier. You will see the "Game Over" screen with the
message "Ocelot is Dead".
Showdown with Ocelot
At almost the end of the game, when you have the showdown with Ocelot, you can do one of
three things. Choose the gun on Snake's left and you will not get the Single Action Army
in New Game. Select the gun on Snake's right shoot Ocelot and get the Single Action Army
in the New Game. Select the gun on Snake's right, but do not pull the trigger. An
intermission sequence will start after Ocelot pulls the trigger the sixth time, and you
will still get the Single Action Army in the New Game. Additionally, in the final duel
with Ocelot, save the game. Choose the gun on the right, aim for his body, and shoot. He
will say that it is a blank. Reload the game and choose the gun on the right again and aim
for the wall. You will see a bullet hole in the wall.
To do a quick draw duel with Ocelot, stand directly in front of him at the edge of the
cliff. You may get shot a few times and probably be hit, but it will work eventually. He
will call a quick draw duel after a few shots. If you have an automatic, it will really
pay off.
Funny calls with Para-Medic
Basically with anything that you capture, either animals or plants, you can get a laugh
from calling her because she describes them all.
In the mountain area, kill a guard. This will attract vultures. Once a vulture appears and
begins to eat the dead guard, kill it and eat it, then call her.
When you are in the area where you are dressed up as a Scientist, there is an area in the
building that is outside. Near this tree is a mushroom that Para-Medic has no information
for. Once you have talked to her, eat it. Then when you get the chance, quickly call her
back.
In the cave, find a Russian Glow Cap. Call her before eating one. Then eat it, and call
her back.
Naken Raiden appearance
Kill Raikov to see a naked Raiden running down the Sorrow's river.
Hit on by Raikov
Go to the building where steal Raikov's clothing. Wear the scientist's outfit and mask. Go
to the locker room, then begin knocking the doors off the lockers. Raikov will appear and
ask "What are you doing?". Look at him and he will get very close and say
"How beautiful".
Raikov acts strangely
Wear the Raikov costume and mask in front of Raikov. He will act like any other guard. If
you wear a scientist costume, he will grab you below the belt, then smack you to the
ground and move on.
Raikov gets insulted
When trying to get the outfit to imitate Raikov, call Eva. She will first tell you what to
do. Call her again and Snake will ask why Major Raikov has Colonel class clearance. Eva
will say "You dont know? Even after seeing the photo"? Snake will respond
"No". She will then say "You're a little slow. Think about it", then
hang up on you. When Volgin walks in and sees Snake in his Raikov costume he will say,
"Major you were suppose to meet me in my room", then grabs Snake below the belt.
He reaches back and does it again before saying "I know the Major better then anyone
else". Later, after The Boss asks Volgin if he will kill Snake, he agrees but says
that he will first make him pay for hurting Ivan. Raikov's first name is Ivan. Raikov when
seeing food on the floor says "food" in an high pitch whiny voice.
Fool people with Raikov
When wearing Raikov's uniform and mask, punch the guards and scientists. The guards will
apologize or thank you for hitting them. The scientists will become afraid. When wearing
Raikov's uniform, get in the box while people are watching. If guards see you, they will
look at it, lift up the box, think that Raikov is underneath, and apologize. If scientists
see you, they will keep looking at the box, fascinated.
Fighting Raikov
When you first get to Graznyj Grad, you must steal Major Raikov's uniform. He can be found
in the restroom, and will use Raiden's "Double Kick" and "Cartwheel"
moves.
Funny calls with Sigint
Call him with the following items, weapons, face paint, or camo on: Sneaking Suit, Tux,
GA-KO, Naked Camo, Box, Patriot, EZ Gun, or any of the non-helpful face paint.
Signit describes camouflage
If you keep calling for Sigint, eventually he will describe the uniform your wearing, then
the face paint. Note: When he describes a uniform, you can change it to get another
description. You will not have to go through all the other conversations again.
Worried Signit
Equip the box and call Signit. This will start a conversation with Snake saying how the
box makes him feel safe, and it is his destiny. This will thoroughly creep out Singit.
Signit's dream
Radio Sigint immediately after playing the Nightmare mini-game. He will tell you about a
dream he had.
Kill Sokolov
When you go to rescue Sokolov, kill all enemies (to make this easier). Then, go to the
east side. Near the ladder is a window. Once there, throw a grenade in it. You will hear
Sokolov scream and the "Game Over" screen will appear with the message
"Sokolov is dead".
Screaming Sokolov
To make Sokolov scream, go near his room (crawl space, window, or door). Fire a shot and
he will say, "Please stop!" or will scream.
Parrot ghost
When fighting The End, find his parrot and kill it. Eat the parrot, then kill The End.
When you are fighting the Sorrow, look closely to see a ghost parrot on The End's arm. It
will say "Grandpa! Grandpa!".
Vulture ghost
If you kill a soldier on the mountains, then kill the vulture eating him, you will see a
soldier's ghost being pecked at by a vulture ghost.
Ghost guard runs on water
Sometimes a ghost guard will appear running on the water by you during the area with The
Sorrow. This may happen if you toss a guard's body off the bridge.
Ghost guard heads
When you are fighting The Sorrow, all the people you killed will appear as ghosts.
However, if you want their head chopped off, do the CQC. Hold the CQC and Snake will use
his knife to cut their neck. Then when you are with The Sorrow, the soldiers you killed
with the CQC they will appear with their heads falling off. They will say "My head;
it's gonna fall off" or "Help! It's gonna fall off".
See The Sorrow's corpse
Get to the section in the first part of the game after The Boss throws you off the bridge
and Snake is fixing himself up. During the intermission when the "R1" icon
appears, and you can see what he is looking at, look to the left in the river. You can see
The Sorrow's corpse laying in the water against the rock.
Funny Ghosts and comments during The Sorrow battle
If you killed a solider during the game while he was looking at a book or magazine, he
will be walking down the river looking at the book and say "Show me more". If
you shot and killed a soldier by shooting him in the crotch, he will be walking down the
river saying "I'm worthless now", while holding his crotch.
Immortal GRU and KGB troops
When fighting Revolver Ocelot, shoot bullets or throw grenades at the squad in the back.
They will duck the grenades and dodge the bullets (even Patriot).
Destroying helicopters
If you look at the chopper in the Bolshaya Past base and talk to the major, they will say
it looks like a modified version of a Hip type chopper. Snake suggests calling it a Hind
and the major agrees; in Metal Gear Solid, Liquid Snake flew a Hind D. You can plant TNT
on the Hind and blow it up. Stay way out of the way because the explosion is very big.
Aim the SVD sniper rifle into the cockpit of the helicopter (in sniper mode) and fire off
a few shots. If you are looking at the helicopter from the side, aim for the second pilot
closest to the back; he controls the vehicle.
When you are on the mountain, shoot the helicopter pilots and they will explode.
Additionally, destroy the Hind helicopters at the compounds with helipads. When you go up
the mountain, they will no longer appear, but will be replaced with flying platforms.
Easier Boss battles
When you are facing any of the bosses (except The Boss), you can use the Fake Death. When
you use it, they will think you are dead and will not pay attention. You can now use the
Revival, wake up, and get some free shots in against them. Additionally, to defeat all
Bosses, easier, use the M37 shotgun. When they give you a chance, shoot them with the
shotgun. This takes a lot of life away. Note: Do not use the M37 on The End.
Defeating The Boss
Equip your Snow Camo and put on your Desert facepaint. Then, run next to one of the logs
and lie down until The Boss runs and hides behind a tree. Equip your sniper rifle and get
into your kneeling position. Find where The Boss is hiding and wait for her to poke out.
Shoot her, and wait for her to hide. You do not have to lay down or move, and if you are
far away enough you will avoid her CQC moves. Just sit in the same spot and continue
shooting her with the sniper rifle. You will make quick work of The Boss.
Use the following trick to defeat The Boss with the tranquilizer gun. It is recommended
you have at least one life medicine. Save the game at the start of the battle. Wait a
little while to play (or use Healing Radio). Then, put on the thermal goggles. When she
runs towards you, go to the sides and try to punch her three times but do not use CQC, as
she will revert it .After you knock her down, shoot her in the head. Note: You can only
shoot her twice. Repeat this until her stamina is down.
She is afraid of grenades. Put some distance between yourself and her and start throwing
the WP (incendiary) grenades. If you are an accurate thrower, once she starts burning and
falls down, continue to throw WP grenades to the same location. If by chance she gets up
to run towards you, time the throw to intercept her as she runs towards you. When she
falls again, keep throwing more WP grenades to the same area. You will defeat her quickly.
You will also do damage with regular grenades, and she even says "grenade" as
she tries to dodge them. If you do connect, you will inflict heavy damage to her.
An easy way to defeat The Boss towards the end of the game is to put on the Snow Camo and
apply an appropriate face design (Desert recommended). Stay crouched and you will not be
noticed as easily. She will be looking for you and become confused, As soon as you see an
opening, fire at her with any desired gun (one with a silencer is recommended, as your
location will remain unknown). If you are engaged in CQC, keep tapping Circle and most of
the time you will counter the attack and perform an attack of you own. If you ever find
The Boss on the floor, take out any gun and fire simultaneously on her head or body. She
will lose about one sixth of her health. Be careful -- as soon as she gets up she will
fire at you while running away. Note: After you defeat The Boss, hold Triangle to control
the camera.
When the fight starts, The Boss will attack. Quickly run away, tumble, then very quickly
lay down. Note: Make sure you are wearing the Snow camouflage. If you do not have it, wear
the Sneaking camouflage instead; The Boss can see you, but not by much. Wear your heat
sensing goggles to find The Boss in the white flowers. If you do not have them, use the
sensor to hear her or to see her on the radar. Take out the sniper gun while kneeling and
hit her three to four times. This will knock her out. After that, quickly lay down and
move swiftly and cautiously to a different part of the area. If The Boss finds you, you
will hear, "Ha, I found you!" or "There you are" and she will shoot.
Quickly run, tumble, and lie down. Sometimes you will hear her say, "Where did you
go?", "He-he disappeared", "How did he vanish?" or "He
vanished!". If you see or hear a snake near you and if your stamina and health are
down, attack and eat it. If you shoot near The Boss and not hit her, she will notice you.
However, she sometimes does not notice you in the flowers. Note: With the heat sensing
goggles on, she is a white figure, and if she notices you, you will see a "!"
above her head. Repeat this several times. Note that you are timed for ten minutes. When
it gets to the final five minutes, you will hear the "Snake Eater" theme song.
When fighting The Boss at the end, just before you escape, plant claymores in the grass
and equip your mine detector. When The Boss enters CQC, she will most likely hit one of
your claymores, making the battle easier. The best location for the claymores would be in
the middle of the field, and have Snake hide behind the tree.
When she charges at you for CQC, you can easily counter it when you see the exclamation
point over Snake's head. If you cannot see it, you still can hear him grunt. When you see
or hear those signs, tap Circle and you will easily counter her CQC. You can now shoot her
in the head twice while she is bent over, or CQC throw her to the ground, then shoot her.
Use your survivor knife and to stab her. Continue stabbing her until The Boss' life gauge
reaches Zero. Note: When The Boss uses CQC, she will not be able to take the knife away.
