Cheats

Bonus Costumes and More

To wear a tuxedo beat the game twice on the same memory card slot play over your last game The third time you start up the game Snake will remove his thermal suit in the elevator and be clothed in a tuxedo



Beat the game at any skill level and look in the Special menu for a compilation of all the cut scenes throughout the game



When confronting Psycho Mantis he attempts to read your mind and may mention a certain video game To have him mention more games do this before confronting him save any Konami game onto your memory card



Briefing Camera Fun

During more than a few of the briefing quottapesquot youll see the words quotcamera changequot and quotcamera freequot This lets you know that you can mess with the camera for a little something to do while youre watching them To zoom in or out use the square and triangle buttons To switch cameras use the circle button Of course if you have been playing the game all night and are drowsy youll probably figure out that the X button stops and ejects the quottapequot by accident



Change Title Screen Colors Japanese Version

When at the the Title Screen simply press updownleftor right on the dpad to cycle through the different colors in the background graphics



Defeating Psycho Mantis

Before fighting Psycho Mantis plug your controller into the controller 2 slot and press any button the screen should turn black and have the word quotHIDEOquot in green in the corner After a few seconds it will go away and you can use the 2nd player controller to fighting against Mantis



This way he wont be able to tell where your going to go because he can only read your left brain left controller he cant read your right brain right cont



Defeating Sniper Wolf

To defeat Sniper Wolf you need to go all the way back to the Armory and go into the room with six minirooms inside of it Go into the topleft room using your recently acquired level 5 key card Inside is a PSG1 and some ammo for it



Now go back to Sniper Wolf You should have picked up some Daizepam by now This will allow you to aim your PSG1 without it shaking Go back to Sniper Wolf and shoot her with your PSG1



She may be hard to spot and times because she likes to hide behind things Look for her breathe and wait for her to come out Equipping your thermal goggles will also help



Defeating Sniper Wolf is tricky at first and may take a few times Trial and error is the key Like Solid Snake says quotLearn from your mistakes Let it make you strongerquot



Defeating the Gunner

After Meryl opens the cargo door for you in the first floor of the Tank Hangar you should go up top and make sure you get the Mine Detector Now go back down and through the door



Turn on your Thermal Goggles so you can see the infrared sensors moving across the room Make your way across the room carefully so you dont touch any of them If you do the doors will shut and the room will fill up with poisonous gas



After making it through that room youll have to fight the Gunner First turn on the Mine Detector and crawl over all of the Claymore mines so you can pick them up Then throw out a Chaff Grenade to disable the Gunners main weapon



With the main weapon temporarily unfunctionable all the gunner can hit you with is the regular gun Try to manuever yourself so that you can get behind the tank and then throw as many grenades as you can on it



Be sure to throw a Chaff Grenade out every time the one you previously threw out wears off Also there are Rations and more Grenades scattered out over the battle field These will certainly help you make it through this fight



Destroying the Generator

To blow up the generator you need a Nikita Simply fire it and then get in firstperson mode to make it easier to aim the missile First turn right and go through the door straight ahead then left and youll be in the room with the generator Now just run into it The cameras may shoot it down so youll probably have to try this more than once



Extra Modes

The regular game is excellent but the builtin VR Training mode is a definate must



At first there is only one choice Practice Finish all 10 stages then you gain Time Attack where the difficulty is heightened a little but shouldnt be a problem besides the time limit



Complete these 10 and you gain Gun Shooting mode in which the difficulty is at max and you HAVE to kill ALL the guards to progress within the time limit You are given a Socom regular gun with supressor silencer and 5 bullets per guard If you run out of bullets youll have to choke your way out



If you can finish these 10 stages one last stage can be chosen Survival Mission where you rush through all 10 stages one after another in under 7 minutes You start with 30 bullets and dead guards drop bullets Good luck if you can complete this you are a true Metal Gear Solid Master



Exercising Meryl

While crawling along the duct in the Holding Cells you may look down to see Meryl in her cell exercising Should you leave the duct immediately down the ladder and reenter it again Meryl adopts a series of power workout moves each consecutive time you view her They are A sit ups B singlearm pushups C stretching D situps in underwear E singlearm pushups in underwear F stretching in underwear G situps same as A and continuing with these from now on



FaMas Tracer Trick

First you need to get the bandana To do this DO NOT submit to Revolver Ocelots torture When you complete the game and start over you will have the bandana



Now start your second game and play up to the part where you get the level 2 keycard Go to the Armory Basement Level 2 and get the FaMas and FaMas ammo



Now on your bullet counter in the lower right hand corner of your screen youll see that the last three shots are colored red Fire the FaMas until you use up all of the yellow shots and reach the red ones



These are your tracers and they trail when you fire them damaging things that they hit as badly as your normal FaMas ammo would Now put on your bandana Because the bandana tricks the computer into thinking that you didnt fire your last shot you will now fire all tracers This acts as a quotguidance systemquot of sorts and allows you to aim the famas just as acurrately as the socom



Fast Travel

To move about through the complex faster hide inside a cargo truck and use a CBox Remain perfectly still and a guard will drive the box to the area noted on the box There are three boxes each to a different location



Get the Bandana

To get the Bandana wich gives you infinite ammomo and no auto reloads play up until you get to Ocelots Torture Rack If you make it out of The Rack without dying or giving up when you beat the game you will get the Good ending where you save Meryl She will give you the Bandana and then once the credits a through you can save your game Save it and then load it up again Look into your inventoy and you will see the Bandana



Getting Sick

If you fail in Revolvers torture room and come into close contact with Sasaki the guard patrolling outside your prison cell you can catch the flu This flu makes you sneeze every minute or so You can cure this flu with medicine This medicine is a green box with a red cross on top of it Another way to catch a cold is as follows



When youre being held in the cell between Ocelots torture tests the guard talks loudly to himself about his cold then runs to the bathroom This is the point that most people usually break out of the cell If you stick around and dont use the ketchup though you will be treated to Ocelots hospitality yet again Survive and you will be in the cell and the sick guard will get the runs again NOW you can break out of the cell Give Snake a little time in the snow and he will catch a cold and start sneezing every minute or so the sound will probably give you away to your enemies so ask Otacon if there is anything he can do for you



Get the Camera

To get the camera when you get a Level 6 keycard go to the first building Tank Hanger Then take the Elevator down to Basement 2 Go into the hall before the Room where you fought Ocelot Then there should be a spot where you can blow a hole in the wall with C4 when you blow it up there are two rooms The camera is in one of the rooms and there is ammo and a ration around in there also



Ghost Images

First you need to obtain the camera either by



A Finishing the game with the ending where Meryl dies and starting that newly created save file with the camera automatically in your inventory or



B Getting at least as far as defeating Liquid Snake in the hind helicopter sequence then going to the room located in Base 1 floor B2 with a Level 7 cardkey where there are two autoguns you will have to use C4 explosives to the wall below and to the right of the bottom entrance to the room where you fight Revolver Ocelot in one of the two rooms here the camera is located in the top one BTW if you run into a jammed door that you should be able to try using a C4 explosive on it and trying to it then



In either case here is how you see quotGhostsquot Make sure you have at least 2 blocks free on a memory card to save at least one picture Take pictures of different things and you may find a quotGhostquot image of different programmers artists etc superimposed on your new snapshot Ive found two by taking pictures of the ravens on the last major elevator and one by snapping a shot of the dead guy in the prison cell

Torture Tips

This tip contains a minor spoiler Youve been warned



As you probably know there are no continues in the torture event If you lose you start at your last save So this wont be a huge loss remember to save after beating Sniper Wolf The torture event is coming very soon afterwards



If you want the best ending dont submit to the torture It gets more difficult on the higer difficulty levels but it never gets impossibly hard



After getting through two tortures you will have a chance to escape When the guard runs to the bathroom hide under the bed When he says quotHes gonequot and runs to the door hop out and snap his neck



After you get your stuff back get rid of the quotTimer Bquot Its a time bomb



Warp to Area 15

You will need the level 100 card gameshark trick to do this but its really worth it Activate the code then go to the tank hangar go up the elevator to Basement 1 Right when you get out of the elevator go to the door to the left of the elevator by using your level 100 keycard The screen will turn black and you will skip all the way to the torture scene
