(1.) Version History
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Version 0.10*** 12.2.04
Just started this thing. I hope to submit most of it by the 20th.
Version 0.50*** 12.17.04
Guide submitted. Table of contents, version history, controls, virtuous
mission walkthrough, weapons, Items, Food, Fun Things, Frog locations and
Camo/facepaint sections done.
Version 0.60*** 12.18.04
Updated the walkthrough up to the Ponizovje Warehouse.
Version 0.60*** 12.19.04
Updated the walkthrough up to the Fear boss battle. Fixed a bunch of typos and
spelling errors.
Version 0.71*** 12.21.04
Got a good amount done. I updated the walkthrough all the way up to Groznyj
Grad. I updated the thanks section, making sure to put CjayC in this time. I
also put a small list of sites allowed to host this thing. I also fixed some
more spelling errors and typos.
Version 0.75*** 12.24.04
I added three new section, the character, song lyrics and game basics. Haven’t
done anything with the actual walkthrough but I still got a lot done.
Version 0.80*** 1.7.05
Sorry about the major delay in updates, but I took some time off for Christmas
and New Years, and I also couldn’t pull myself away from KOTOR! Anyways, Im
back up to normal progress and I’ve updated the walkthrough up to the Shagohod
fight. I should have the main walkthrough complete with the next update. Oh and
I also have how to defeat The End, sent into me by a user by the name of akz.
Version 0.83*** 1.10.05
Ok, so I guess lied. I didn’t finish the main story walkthrough. But before you
say anything, I have a reason. I have changed the layout of parts of the guide.
I also put in two new sections. I put in a new Table Of Contents that is
longer, but much easier to read and understand. Putting the Operation Snake
Eater walkthrough into four different sections will also make it easier to find
things. I would have updated soon, but I had some MAJOR problems with my
gamefaqs.com account and almost lost it, which would of ment no more Snake
Eater walkthrough. But I thankfully got it working again. I promise you with
the next update the main storyline will be finished.
Version 0.84*** 1.24.05
No, I didn’t lie again, because this isn’t really an update. All I did was put
in some pretty cool ASCII art. Dunno when Ill finish the main storyline. People
haven’t given me any reason to continue or work harder, so I dunno, you may see
it or you may not, depending if people actually start reading the thing and
sending me stuff.
To make finding things in this guide easier, you can use the search function
found on almost all computers. To use this feature, Press Ctrl+F on your
keyboard. A search box will come up and then you simply type in what you want
to find.

Guide Legend
I decided to keep both the Table Of Contents and Guide Legend in the same
section, so that why there not separated.
--------------
()---Area---()
--------------
This is the name of the area you are entering. Pretty simple.
--Strategy--
This is an detailed explanation of how exactly to get through an area in the
best possible way. This section may have multiple paragraphs if the walkthrough
of the area is long.
--Food--
This section is where you will find the location of any food item that may be
in a certain area. This section normally isn’t very long as there are not too
many food items in a single area. If there is no food in a area then this
section will be marked None.
--Items--
This is the section you will want to look at for items location if any items
are present in a certain area. If there are no items in an area then this
section will be marked None as well.
Side Notes
= = = = = =
This is the section where you will find useful information, funny things,
useless things and things of that nature.
That’s about all there is for the Guide Legend.

3b.) Game Features
==================
The Life Bar- Your life bar is your health, when the bar empties you die of
course. When you get shot, cut, stabbed, break a bone or anything to that
effect you lose some health, and in some cases you need to heal the injury with
the Cure menu (more on that later). When your health drops down to about 1/4 of
the bar, you begin to bleed. When bleeding you can be tracked by enemy soldier
and you lose health faster. A noise will indicate that you are bleeding. To
cure bleeding crouch down, this applies pressure to the wound and stops the
bleeding. Or you can also take a Life Medicine to cure around half of your
health. When fighting bosses or when with allies your health along with
multiple other health bars will appear on screen. Also your health bar, unlike
the stamina bar is always slowly increasing. So if you get hurt in battle, find
a safe place to hide until you heal up.
The Stamina Bar- The stamina bar is a addition new to the MGS series. The
stamina bar can both help and hinder you in the game. When you do a lot of
things like running, rolling, sneaking and fighting it drops. The more intense
the activity you do the more it drops. The lower the stamina bar drops the less
efficient you become in all things. Your arms will shake, making it hard to aim
a gun, you will run, walk and sneak slower, making it harder to move swiftly or
sneak up on an enemy. Also when your stamina gets too low your stomach will
start to growl, indicating that Snake is hungry. To raise your stamina, eat all
sorts of food like snakes, instant noodles, birds and tons of other in game
items. Just like the life bar, when fighting a boss or when with allies
multiple stamina bars will appear on screen, showing you how much stamina they
have left. The stamina gauge also serves as your grip and oxygen meter. The
longer you are hanging onto a ledge or swimming, the more it will decreases
until you start to drown or you fall.
The Backpack- Another new addition to the MGS series is the backpack.
Everything that you find in the game has to go somewhere and the backpack is
the place. You can store animals you have killed or tranqed, weapons, and other
things in the backpack. The backpack does have limited space for everything, so
you do have to pay attention to what you do and do not want stored. You can
hold a maximum of eight items and eight weapons in the backpack along with all
the animals that you can get. Also, every item you hold has a set weight on it,
and the heavier the things in your backpack, the faster your stamina drops.
Eating- The third new feature of this game is a very important one, eating.
Gone is the luxury of eating pre cooked, man made meals, now you have to resort
to killing and eating snakes, birds and frogs along with an assortment of other
tasty treats. Most of the game takes place outdoors so you will be killing a
lot of animals for food. The reason for eating food is to refill the stamina
gauge when it get low. Different foods affect Snakes stamina in different ways.
For example, if you kill and eat a tree frog, Snake gets grossed out and
doesn’t gain very much stamina back. But if he eats a certain type of snake, he
will ask for more and gain back a lot of stamina. If you keep feeding Snake a
type of food he doesn’t like over time he will adapt and begin to like eating
it. The downside of food is it can spoil and rot. If you eat a snake that you
killed at the begining of the game, and try to eat it near the end, it will be
rotten and Snake will get a stomach ache.
CQC (Close Quarters Combat)- CQC is a big part of this game. It allows you to
do a multitude of different things to your enemy such as knock them out, take
them hostage, use them as a human shield and much more. Below is a list of the
many of different things you can do with CQC.
1a. Press the button while running towards them will result in you preforming a
powerful throw that knocks out your enemy.
2a. Tap the button to do a 3 times to do a punch-kick-punch combo that knocks
the enemy off their feet.
3a. Sneak up behind them an press the button lightly to put them in a choke-
hold. From here, you can do many things.
1b. From the chokehold press and hold the button hard to silently kill your
enemy by slitting their necks.
2b. Tap the button the choke them. Tap it 3 or 4 times to knock them out, and
tap it many times to silently break their neck and kill them.
3b. While holding them, push the left analog stick in any direction to tug the
enemy in the direction you push. Every few tugs you will squeeze hard and after
three of them you knock out the enemy.
4b. While holding them, press L3 to interrogate them and they will either
insult you or give you sometimes useful information, like the locations of
items and other such things.
5b. While holding them, press the button lightly and a direction on the left
analog stick to throw them to the ground. If you have a gun equipped while
doing this, you can point it at them right after you throw them down to make
them give up their weapon and lay face down. Shoot next to their head to get an
item.
6b. Press R1 while holding them do go into FPV and use them as a human shield.
This will stop enemy soldiers from attacking you for a few seconds, but they
soon get wise and slash you in the face with a knife, giving you a cut.
Stalking- Another new technique is stalking. Stalking is just like running only
you move much slower and are silent when doing it. Stalking is very important
for doing things like sneaking by enemy soldiers, pulling off safe hold ups and
doing good CQC. To stalk all you have to do is press the d-pad in the direction
you want to move. Stalking also uses up the most of Snakes stamina so make sure
not to abuse it.
The Radio- The radio is how the FOX team communicates with each other. Use the
radio to call all your team member for advice, help and just to chat. You also
use the radio for saving by calling a certain frequancy. Another nifty feature
of the radio is being able to call off alerts, alarms and you can listen to
different songs to get healed if you are injured.
The Cure Menu- The cure menu is of the useful features about this game.
Throughout the course of the game Snake will recive gunshot wounds, cuts
stomach achs, colds and a multitude of other ailments. The cure menu allows you
to cure all of these things and more. If you leave Snake with an injury like a
broken ankle or something you can permanently shorten your health bar. If you
get a serious injury, a small portion of your health bar will be red. Below is
a list of injury’s and sickness and how to cure them.
--Stomach Ache--
Digestive Medicine
--Food Poisoning--
Antidote
--Cold--
C-Medicine
--Venom--
Serum
--Leech--

3c.)Game Actions
================
[Basic In-Game Movements]
Moving your on-screen character (Snake) is the most basic action in the game.
To move Snake around, push either the left analog stick or the D-Pad. Pushing
the left analog stick will either make Snake walk or run, depending on how hard
you push the stick. Pushing the D-Pad make Snake move in “stealth mode”. When
walking like this you will move very slow, but will be able to sneak up on your
enemies secretly. By the way the D-Pad looks sorta like this:
I
- -
I
[Rolling]
Rolling is a very useful feature, especially if you are going for a 0 kill
game. Rolling is basically a forward somersault that can knock enemies flat on
their asses. There are a few uses for rolling in addition to the enemies. You
can roll over metal grates and river without making any noise. You can also
roll into doors to bash them open. Another very good use of rolling is, roll
into a door when their is a guard right on the other side, and you will knock
them backwards and knock them out. Rolling is also a good way to save some
health. When being shot at, roll around and you will avoid most of the enemies
gunfire. A very nifty feature overall.
[Climbing]
Climbing is good for getting on top boxes, rocks and other things for good
vantage points or good cover. Some objects Snake will climb automatically. To
climb climbable objects, simply press the action button (triangle).
[Standing/Prone Position]
Unlike other MGS games, this time you can simply hold X to go into prone
position. The other way you can do it is to press X once, then push the left
analog stick in any direction and Snake will automatically go into prone
position. Just like in all the other MGS games, you press X once to go into the
crouching position. Lastly standing is the most simple thing in the game. You
can stand from the prone position by holding X or pressing X twice. While
crouching simply press X once to stand back up.
[Side Stepping]
You can only step to the left or right while you are in FPV (First Person
View). To side step, while looking in FPV press either L2 to strafe left and R2
to strafe right, accordingly. You can hide behind a corner, press L2 or R2, pop
out, fire off a couple of rounds at the enemy and take cover again before any
one even knows your location as well.
[Hanging]
Hanging is used for getting out of the way of incoming gunfire, rockets or
other deadly objects. To hang, run off the side off a ledge or cliff, or
something of that nature and Snake will automatically hang off the edge. While
hanging you have a blue meter that is right under your health bar, and the
longer you hang, the more it goes down. How much hanging stamina you have left
depends on how much normal stamina you have left in your bar. You can also hang
off things like rope bridges, tree branches, cliff walls or other things. While
hanging, you can go into FPV or draw your currently equipped weapon. This is
useful for taking out enemies in the forest without giving away your location.
[Knocking]
Knock, knock. Who’s  there?? Well I dunno who is there (who does?), but I do
know that knocking in this game is a very useful tactic. To knock, run up to a
object like a wall or box, press you back flat against it and press the circle
button and Snake will rap on the wall a couple of times. Knocking is useful in
a few different ways. The most common and useful is to knock when a guard is
very nearby and when they hear the sound, they will come running to
investigate. When the guard comes running, you can step out from your hiding
spot and knock them out or kill them, or you can sprint around behind the guard
and sneak up on him to kill him secretly or to interrogate him. If your going
for a 0 kill game then use this tactic often, as it is very useful for sneaking
around and by guards.
[The Tactical Reload]
This is one of the most useful features in the game by far. What the tactical
reload is, essentially is reloading any weapon instantly, very good if your in
a high intense fight where you can’t waste time by reloading every 10 seconds.
To tactical reload, quickly tap the R2 button twice and you will instantly have
full ammo for the previous weapon you had in your hand. Do note that the
tactical reload only reloads the clip and not all the ammo in the gun, so you
still have to be careful about conserving your ammo.
[Destroying Enemy Radios]
Throughout your adventure in Metal Gear Solid 3 you may have noticed those red
and blue flashing things that the patrolling guards always carry around. These
flashing things are the enemies radios that they contact headquarters with.
They can call in for ammo, supplies and mostly reinforcements. To destroy a
enemy radio, you first have to go into FPV and aim at a guard with a radio on
his suit. Then aim carefully and shoot the flash that you see. If successful
you will see sparks come off the radio and it will start to smoke slightly. Now
the guards can’t call for ammo or backup. In some areas there will be multiple
guards who have radios, and in that case, you have to shoot them all quick or
risk having to deal with more guards.
[Ladders]
There isn’t much to say about ladders except that there are very few in the
game and they are always red. To climb a ladder, simply walk up to it and push
the left analog stick up. Most ladders Snake will climb by himself but some
longer ones you have to manually climb. Press up and down on the left analog
stick to move in the corresponding direction. You can’t fall off ladders so
there is no need to worry about that.
[Dragging Enemies]
Once you have an enemy you can do more than just kill him. Once you either kill
or knock out a guard, the you will probably want to hide the body of the dead
guard so that other enemies won’t find them and call an alert or something. To
drag a body, stand over it and hold the square button. Snake will automatically
pick him. To move the body to another location, pick up the body and press the
left analog stick just like you would walking and Snake will drag the body in
the direction that you press. To drag a living guard, then get one in a choke
hold and lightly hold circle so that you don’t slit his neck. Once you have
him, press the left analog stick in any direction and you will roughly drag the
enemy in the direction you push. While dragging them like this, you can knock
them out by dragging them a little ways and cutting their air supply until they
lose conciseness.
[Corner View]
To see what is around a corner without having to expose yourself, press up
against a wall and press the left analog stick in the direction you want to
look. By doing this you can covertly scout out an area ahead of time and make a
plan of attack.
[Cardboard Boxes]
The cardboard box is one of the oldest things in the Metal Gear Solid series.
You first saw it all the way back in 1998 with Metal Gear Solid. A box
basically involves obtaining one and equipping it in the items menu. When
inside a box, you re hidden from enemy view, at least as long as your smart
about it. What I mean by that is, you don’t wanna hide in a box right in front
of an enemy or you don’t wanna try to blend in while sitting in front of a
door! Places you Do want to use it would be next to a wall inside a building,
or next to some other boxes and people won’t know a thing. When actually inside
the box, you can look through a small cut out hole in the side to see what is
going on. While looking through this hole, you can press L2 or R2 and look left
or right. Throughout the game you get not one, not two but three different
boxes. Cardboard Box A, B and C. They all serve the same purpose and are
identical in every way. You can also use boxes to infiltrate buildings and
such. To do this, climb into the back of a truck with an open back and equip
and box. Guards will think you are supplies or weapons and haul you off to the
destination that is printed on the side of the box you are in.
Well, there you have it. The Gameplay actions of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake
Eater! If I missed any or you have something you would like to add, feel free

3d.) General Tips
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
--Be prepared. Whenever you enter an area, press START and read the Strategy,
Food, and Items sections before advancing into an area so that you are prepared
when you go in.
--Save Often. You never know when you will fall off that unexpected cliff or
your power will short out, so save often to avoid losing data.
--Scout out areas before entering them. You can pull out your SVD sniper rifle
if you have it, or you can pull out your binoculers and scout the area out.
--Avoid detection. Sure, wasting 20 enemy soldiers is great, but if you have
the choice between slaughter and sneak, choose sneak. If you see an chance to
sneak by enemies, do that rather than killing them
--Reload Often. Whenever there is a moment of peace before a big firefight or
something similar then reload you equipped weapon. When in the heat of battle
try using the Tactical Reload for best results.
--Conserve Ammo. You don’t always need to fire a entire clip into a single
guard. Most of the time a simple head shot will work. Aim for the temple and
shoot, and you will have a dead guard while only using a single shot.
--Blend in. In all areas, there is a certain type of camo that will work best.
If indoors, try wearing the Splitter camo for maximum effect. If in the jungle,
wear leaf, tiger stripe or other blending camo’s. Just don’t be stupid!
--Move slowly. When in unknown territory, walk slowly to ensure guards don’t
hear your running foot steps. When near a corner always press your back to it
and look around the corner to be prepared.
--Be silent. When in an area with multiple guards, always put a suppressor on
your weapon if you have one. This way, enemy guards will be less likely to
start searching for you.
Well there you have it. General tips for Metal Gear Solid 3. If you would like

==== LYRICS ====
What a thrill
With Darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!
I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream of the snake eater
Someday you go through the rain,
Someday you feed on a tree frog,
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day wee see new light
I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream of the snake eater

Son, you've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
Son, you'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show
Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Son, you've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know
Son, you'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they take mine
Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Oh, there's a hole inside my boat
I need stay afloat
For the summer long
(Break)
Left my Sweet Soul
Beneath the bed clothes
I'm not coming down.
Walls have ears but
No-one hears when
Nobody's around.
Son, you've got to wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Walkthrough
(6.) Virtuous Mission Walkthrough
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
-------------------------
()---Dremuchij South---()
-------------------------
--Strategy--
After watching the game intro where Snake is illegally dropped into enemy
territory using a HALO jump, we are ready to begin. Upon landing you can
either turn right, around and up a grassy hill, or you can turn left, around
and under some logs to get to the tree that you backpack is snagged on. Walk
up to the tree and hit triangle to climb the tree. Then walk across the branch
and hit triangle again to hang, and grab your backpack. After this you will
receive a long radio call from Major Tom. After the call just head north to
the next area.
--Food--
There are some mushrooms and tree frogs that can be found near where you
landed, but they recover barley any stamina. What you want is the Giant
Anaconda that is just north of the climbable tree. Try to get this as it
recovers a lot of stamina.
--Items--
There is a Life Medicine at the top of the grassy hill that I highly recommend
getting.
-----------------------------
()---Dremuchij Swampland---()
-----------------------------
--Strategy--
Nothing really to do here but get the items and food. Head north to get to the
next area. Make sure not to die in the quicksand.
--Food--
There is plenty of food here. There are six alligators that, when killed drop
three Indian Gavials each. To kill them, simply use you survival knife, it
will take quite a few swings to kill them. Another great food is the hornets
nest that is on the middle island. Shoot it down and keep your distance. After
the alligators there is a Retilicated Python slithering in the grass that you
should get. Lastly after the alligators there is fruit in the trees that you
should shoot down.
--Items--
On the island in the middle there is some burn ointment. On the left patch of
land there is a supressor for the MK22. Finally on the right patch of land
there are some grenades.
-------------------------
()---Dremuchij North---()
-------------------------
--Strategy--
Ok this is your first time in contact with the enemies. There are three ways
to get past them. The first way is just shoot them with your MK22 and run past
them. The second way is to shoot them, and then use your survival knife to
slash them to death. The third, and funnest way is to sneak past the. Use
woodland and leaf camo to get by them. A good idea is to use the hollowed out
log and wait for the first guard to walk by. After that it is simple to sneak
by the others.
--Food--
As soon as you enter Dremuchji North turn right to enter a big grass field. Go
to the end of this field to find a Reticulated Python. In the main area there
is another Giant Anaconda crawling around.
--Items--
In the secret area, right next to the python there is a SVD Dragonuv sniper
rifle. Be shure to get this as it will be very helpful. Also don’t be very
concerned about conserving ammo, because you will lose it soon. Go back to the
begininng of Dremucij North and go forward. You will find a hollowed out tree
with a box of grenades. Further ahead there is another tree with MK22 ammo.
Finally there is a log at the end of the field that has Thermal Goggles in it.
---------------------
()---Dolinovodno---()
---------------------
--Strategy--
This section is very easy. As soon as the cutscene is over use your Hush Puppy
to shoot down the hornets nest that is above the guard. After that, simply
cross the bridge and continue on to the next area.
--Food--
There are two hornets nests in this area, one is above the first guard you
come across, and the second one is on the other side of the bridge.
--Items--
Near the end of the bridge hang down off the side of it, then press X then
quickly press triangle to grab onto the branch. You can also get there by
running to the other side of the bridge, turn around and then shimmy down the
wall. On this ledge you will find a XM16E1 assault rifle, a Pentazemin, and
some Hush Puppy ammo.
-----------------
()---Rassvet---()
-----------------
--Strategy--
After watching the short cutscene, pull out you sniper rifle and snipe the
first two guards you can see. Then go right, hugging the fence and run to the
end. Look forward, If you see any guards snipe them out. After that run
forward until you get to an area with a locked gate, some barrels and a red
ladder on the side of a building. Climb up this ladder and run across this
roof and lay down. If you can see any more guards you know what to do. After
all that is done go forward and jump off the roof. Then simply run to the red
door and press triangle to enter it. Note that there are multiple ways to get
through this area, but this is the way I found to be best.
--Food--
There are rats crawling all over the place in the area. Rats provide a decent
amount of stamina, but by now you shouldn’t need anything.
--Items--
If you go up the red stairs in the west area of Rassvet you will find a
supressor for the XM16E1, as well as ammo for it. Just below these stairs are
some boxes. Next to these boxes there is a M37 shotgun. Finally there is a
Life Medicine next to the room Sokolov was in.
Side Note
= = = = =
After the cut scene try shooting Ocelot in the head with a deadly weapon for a
funny cut scene where Colonel Campbell yells at you for creating a time
paradox. Another cool thing to do is shoot him in the arm or leg with a deadly
weapon, and the next time you see him, he will have a bandage where you shot
him.
---------------------
()---Dolinovodno---()
---------------------
That’s right you have to come back here. Once there you are treated to a long
cutscene where a multitude of things happen, including you meeting two members
of the Cobras.
-------------------------------
()---Dolinovodno Riverbank---()
-------------------------------
This is the first out of many times you get to use the Cure menu. Snake has
four cuts and two broken bones right now, so go into the survival viewer and
cure them. For the cuts you need disinfectant, styptic, suture kit and a
bandage. For the broken bones use a splint and a bandage. After this watch the
cutscene and your done with the Virtuous Mission. Onto Operation Snake Eater.
(7.) Operation Snake Eater Walkthrough
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~
===================================
---Operation Snake Eater --- Part 1
===================================
Side Note
= = = = =
When still in the air in the beginning cut scene press R1 to look around
through Snake’s eyes. Look up to see a poster with a hot girl on it.
------------------------
()---Dremuchij East---()
------------------------
--Strategy--
Nothing to do in this area, just head north to get to the next one.
--Food--
To the left of your starting point there is a Reticulated Python. There is a
Japanese Flying Squirrel just past to two large rocks, in the tree. To the left
of the squirrel there is another Reticulated Python. Lastly, in the area just
before you leave Dremuchij East a third Python can be found.
--Items--
There are no items in this area.
-------------------------
()---Dremuchij East---()
-------------------------
--Strategy--
Again there is nothing to really do here besides get some snakes.
--Food--
Right after you jump off the cliff there is a RP. North of him there is another
one that is slithering in the grass. As you continue down the path you will
hear a horse. Right about when you hear that you should pass a tree with a
Green Tree Python. I recommend getting this as it recovers a lot of stamina.
--Items--
Again there is no items to get.
-------------------------
()---Dremuchij North---()
-------------------------
--Strategy--
As soon as you enter this area, switch to the Black camo, and lay down in the
grass of to your left. After about 15 seconds, two guards will come. You can
sneak up behind them and fight them, but seeing as though you have no weapon
that would be a bad idea. What you want to do is, when they pause to look at
the demolished drone get up and sneak behind their backs. After heading north,
you will find an intersection. The left path leads to another guard and a Giant
Anaconda and the path that goes up leads to the next area. If your in need of
snakes (which you shouldn’t be) then go left, but you will most likely just
head north.
--Food--
There are the same animals, that are in the same areas as when you were doing
the Virtuous Mission, so you shouldn’t need to search around much, just scroll
up to find their locations.
--Items--
Still no items!
---------------------
()---Dolinovodno---()
---------------------
This time around you have no weapons, so its a little harder, but still very
easy. Just lay low in the grass at the top of the hill until the guard turns
around, then slide down and CQC him. After this cross the bridge quickly and
lay in the grass until another guard comes. Either slit his neck or sneak past
him, but I suggest killing him so that you can get the items.
--Food--
If your playing on very easy then shoot down the same two hornets nest that are
on either side of the bridge.
--Items--
Go back to that same area under the bridge. This time there is a Life Medicine,
some grenades and your first new camo, the Raindrop camo. Its not all that
helpful but its looks cool.
-----------------
()---Rassvet---()
-----------------
--Strategy--
This time around its night and there are no enemies around, but plenty of
items. To continue, go into the room Sokolov was being held then exit the door
After watching the cutscene, there are Ocelot guards outside. When you first
gain control, aim your gun at the door and wait to take down three of them.
After that just hunt the rest down, also note that there is a guard on the
roof.
--Food--
Still the same things, rats and snakes. Try to stock up if your low.
--Items--
Lots of items are here. First off, there is an Ak-47 at the top of the red
stairs. Go to the room to the left of where Sokolov was being held to find
Cardboard Box A on top some boxes. Directly behind that room is the Zombie face
paint. This facepaint isn’t very useful. In Sokolovs room, in the left locker,
there are some Thermal Goggles.
----------------------
()---Chyomyj Prud---()
----------------------
--Strategy--
All you really have to do here is get to the other side. To do this, just swim
across. Once you are on the other side of the lake. You should see a rope that
is strechted across two trees. You can either crawl under or shoot it, but if
you shoot it, make sure to get out of the way. One fun thing to do hear, if you
don’t mind continues is get near a croc.
--Food--
After entering this area there is a RP to the right. There is also about 7
crocs in the water, along with tons of fish.
--Items--
All the items here are pretty hard to get. To start off from the entrance, go
left as far as you can go, then dive in the water and swim across. One the
other side, under the water you should see some logs. Swim under these logs and
go onto shore. To the north there is a climbable tree. Climb up and hang down,
then shimmy across the wire until you see another wire under you. Press X to
drop then triangle right away to grab the other wire. Shimmy across again till
you see an item on a small cliff. Drop off the wire and grab the Croc Cap. Then
slide east off the small cliff and into the water. Keep swimming east until you
see the GA-KO camo under the water.
-----------------------------
()---Bolshaya Past South---()
-----------------------------
--Strategy--
Go forward and you will see a large electric fence, but on the east side of it
there is a small area where you can crawl under. Once past it stay on your
stomach and head west. On the other side of the fence are some guards and a
dog, simply traq them and keep crawling past the landmines. Keep going west
until you see another gap under the fence, crawl under it or climb the tree and
walk across the branch. Once on the other side look west and put on your
thermal goggles. You should see two or three guards, take them out with the
MK22 or M19. Then turn around and head east, use leaf camo and then take out
the guard that is right next to the quicksand. If you killed the guards when
crawling before there should only be one guard left, take him out and that
should be it. After this crawl under the last fence and head northeast to the
next area.
--Food--
There are some mushrooms scatterd throughout this whole area.
--Items--
Next to the first pool of quicksand there are some small ledges. Climb up these
then shimmy across the wall to get the Splitter camo, a camo that you will use
a lot in the game. After the Splitter camo there is another fence. Crawl under
this and go west, you should see a hollowed out tree. Inside this tree is the
Choco Chip Camo.
----------------------------
()---Bolshaya Past Base---()
----------------------------
--Strategy--
Take out the guard that is protrolling to the north.  Keep going west until you
see a guard standing in front of a door. Shoot him, then look left, there
should be another guard, take him out. Next climb the ladder that is next to
the door and lay down. From there just snipe the rest of the guards. When you
finish there, simply jump off to the north, past the electric fence and onto
the next area.
--Food--
Some rats in the shack at the far end of the base.
--Items--
On the roof where you sniped there is the water camo. Under one of the bridges
above the trench in the beginning of the area there is the snow camo. Inside
the guarded door there is a mousetrap, a suppersor for your M19, some MK22 ammo
and a mousetrap. To the north of the building there is a small shack that
contains a Russion Ration, R.C. Mate and another mousetrap. Finally in the
northeast there is another small shack that has some medicle supplies.
Side Note
= = = = =
In the east area of the base you should see a large helicopter. Get on the
turret in the back of the base and shoot it until it explodes. If you do this
you will not have to deal with it later.
-------------------------------
()---Bolshaya Past Crevice---()
-------------------------------
*****Ocelot Boss Battle*****
This fight is real easy. All you really need to do is soot him until a cutscene
is triggerd. Ocelot has troops that he will occasonally call upon, but if you
just stand still while their shooting they won’t even hit you. Hide behind
rocks for cover and pop out when he is not shooting at you. One good move
Ocelot has is he will ricochet his bullets off things and hit you.
--Food--
There are rabbits, frogs, and some King Cobras on the battle field.
--Items--
There is some M19 ammo, MK22 ammo and some grenades here. If you deplete
Ocelots stamina bar by shooting him with the MK22 the whole time, there will be
his special Animal camo uniform waiting for you in the cave below.
