Good Dog: To slip through those pesky wolves in the cave where you fight Sniper Wolf, select one of the cardboard boxes. Now de-equip it with L1. Punch Meryl and immediatly press L1 again. Meryl will call one of the dogs and they will do their thing on your cardboard box. Hope you remember what cardboard box it was (you can do this with all three, though)! When you come back, equip the cardboard box, move around and the dogs will like you! Submission: Derek Arrington (pedrodelic@juno.com) Kill Sniper Wolf (Pt.2) Easily: Go to the far right and keep using your Nikata missiles and scan for her. Submission: Derek Arrington (pedrodelic@juno.com) Extra Movie: In the vent shaft, approaching Meryl's cell, if you take a detour left you'll come to another grate in the floor of the shaft. Look down it and a brief cut scene will occur, showing the guard sitting on the lavoratory, saying how he hates Alaska because it's too cold ("Damn, I hate Alaska") Submission: Tim (timatee@btinternet.com) Changed Camera Angles: Some of the cut scenes vary when you play them. For instance, when Snake finds Meryl for the first time in the prison cell, he grabs the barrel of her gun. But sometimes, in this same scene, he points his own gun at her instead. Also, the camera angles at this point can change too. Sometimes the camera looks outward from the cell, while other times it looks inward. Submission: Tim (timatee@btinternet.com) Changing Cut Scenes: Earlier, in the vent shaft to the Tank Hangar, there's a cut scene with two guards talking (if you take the upper shaft), and Snake is over hearing their conversation. This scene can vary: sometimes the guards mention Meryl ("the woman in the cell"), and other times they mention that there's an intruder in the base, someone who's using stealth (Snake says "There's an intruder besides me?"). There doesn't seem to be any pattern to why these scenes vary, and I can find no other instance except for the part where Snake is about to fight the Hind, and needs a rope to abseil down. Sometimes he says: "If only I had a rope. There's got to be one around here somewhere", while other times he says "If only I had a rope. I should be able to use the one a got." Submission: Tim (timatee@btinternet.com) Extra Modes: The regular game is excellent, but the built-in 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 shouldn't 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 supresser silencer and 5 bullets per guard. If you run out of bullets, youll have to choke your way outnot recommended. If you can finish the 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. Submission: SHIN T.K.O. (shintko@hotmail.com) See enemies easier: When Otacon gets the elevador to work when you are at the top of the Communications Tower, and the four guys in stealth camoflague attack you, eventhough you can probably already tell where they are, equip your Thermal Goggles, and you will be able to see them a lot easier. Submission: Jsbhurley@aol.com Defeat Boss easily: He is very easy to fight. pass under the robot and stay (derriere )him. shot with the missile when you can, he can't tuch you. Submission: vagne 98a443u ( >vagne.98a443u@etudiant.univ-brest.fr ) Bandana: If you don't choose to submit while you are being tortured Meryl will live at the end of the game and you will get a bandana.Equip it in a new game and you will have unlimited ammo for any weapon. Submission: DrewValle@aol.com and Homerun65@aol.comHomerun65@aol.com See "Ghosts" in Japanese Version: 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 B-2 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 "Ghosts". 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 "Ghost" 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.

If after you blow the wall that leads you to the room that you fight Oscelot turn right and at the end of the hallway blow that wall in that room there are two doors a level 4 door and a level 6 door, behind the level 4 door is the camera and behind the level 6 door there is some chaff's but watch out because there are two radar guns in there, so be careful the camera is cool........ SO far i've beaten the game 3 times and i now have the stealth suite(too cool, but doesn't work when fighting the level boses), bandana(does nothing so far), but all in all i like the game very cool. Make sure you check this out it really works and you don't have to beat the game to get the camera. Submission: Kevin Price (indianak1@aol.com) Hint: When you are going into The Nuclear Storage Facility and you have the PSG-1 (the sniper rifle ) before you enter inTHE NUCLEAR STORAGE FACILITY you can equip the PSG-1 and shoot all the gaurds on the lower level . It;s pretty kewl and you will have enough amo so u don;t have to worry about running out of it as long as u don't miss the gaurds to many times!!?? Submission: Og0r99@aol.com Hint: When your fighting psyco mantis just put your controller into port 2 and he won't be able to "read your mind" (he won't be able to dodge your bullets). Use stun grenades to knock Meryl out without her taking damage. I can beat him in under 7 minutes using these techniques. good luck! Submission: A.Viking >[a.viking@MCIONE.com] Hint: Fight the Ninja with your bare hands, else you won't be able to defeat him. Use your infra-red goggles and you can always see anybody using a stealth-suit, including the Ninja. When the Ninja is almost beaten (after the 3rd movie) & is suffering from a sort of electronic shock, you can use your shaffy-grenades to freeze him. When he's freezed, you can kick him. repeat this untill he's a gonner.... Submision: Patrick de Wilde Undress Meryl... When you go into the air shaft that leads you to the cells. Look down into Meryls cell to watch her doing sit-ups. Back-up and exit the shaft, then re-enter and look into her cell again. She will be doing one armed push-ups. Continue this and she will be doing leg stretches. Once more and she repeats all her actions without pants on!

One way to tell that you are doing this correctly is that the color that the game saves are written in will change from green the first time, to gold the second time, and red the third time on. When this trick comes into effect Solid snake will be wearing a tuxedo when he takes off his SCUBA gear, and the Ninja will be wearing black and red instead of grey and orange. Submission: Carlos Miranda (Video_gamer900@hotmail.com) Ninja: To beat the ninja you cant use any weapons just use fists and kicks. Submission: J3EDI@aol.com Psycho Mantis: To beat psycho mantis you are not going to believe this when the fight starts take out controller one and put it in controller 2 slot whats he point you ask well by doing this he can not read your mind..... Submission: J3EDI@aol.com and Keith Richard [richard@woodviile.net[richard@woodviile.net] Psycho Mantis Help: I found a little trick for beating Psycho Mantis very easily by just talking to Otacon by codec while playing from controller slot two. He says that if you equip the thermal goggles you can see him when he turns invisible and teleports around the room. when you do this you see that he's not teleporting at all, just moving really fast and using optic camouflage. You can also don't have to wait for him to be visible to hit him, just run behind him and punch/shoot him whenever you get a chance. Submission: Carlos Miranda ( >Video_gamer900@hotmail.com ) Pantless Meryl: Follow Meryl into the Women's bathroom and reach the last stall in under five seconds. Then, Meryl will be caught with her pants down during the next FMV sequence. Alternate costumes: Successfully complete the game two times using the same saved game location. Snake will change into a tuxedo in the elevator during the next (third) time the game is played. Successfully complete the game once more. Snake will change into a ninja costume during the next (fourth) time the game is played. Konami game surprise: Play the game using a memory card that contains a saved game from any prior Konami title (Castlevania, ISS Soccer, Suikoden, Silent Hill etc.) When Psycho Mantis attempts to read your character's mind, he will mention various game titles. Infinite Ammo: Successfully complete the game without submitting to Ocelot when being tortured to save Meryl. Then at the end of the game you will receive a bandana. Save your game, then start a new game using the same saved game. Now when you equip the bandana you can use an unlimited amount of ammo and will not have to reload your gun. Stealth Camouflage: Successfully complete the game with submitting to Ocelot when being tortured to not save Meryl. Then at the end of the game you will receive stealth camouflage. Save your game, then start a new game using the same saved game. Now when you equip the stealth camouflage enemies (except bosses) and cameras will not detect you. Camera: Reach area B2 of the tank hanger. Then at the end of the hallway to the right of the door where you fight Ocerot is a secret room that is entered after using C4 explosive. In the room are security card level 4 and 6 doors. The camera is in the room behind the security card level 4 door. Alternatively, beat the game with submitting to Ocelot when being tortured. After you receive the camera there will be an "Album" option on the main menu, use this option to view pictures that have been taken.
