Hey. I'm X-Treme, and this is my Metal Gear Solid Secrets FAQ.
(Please read below)
I did this FAQ because there are a lot of secrets in MGS but a lot
of people don't know them because they are scattered around everywhere. The
purpose of this FAQ is to try to get all of them in one, neat file for
people to look at and use. This FAQ is no where complete, so if you have any
additions, comments, or criticism, please E-mail it to me at
Razor678@aol.com, I will give you credit. This FAQ will be updated whenever
needed, so please, if you have anything, send it over. I promise it will be
in the next revision.
If you wish to use anything on this FAQ you must give credit to
Razor678@aol.com. There are many spoilers in this FAQ, so, if you have stumbled
upon here, but do not wish to have any of the game given away, don't read
ahead.

| In - Game Secrets |
| Here are the secrets that are done inside the game. |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1. Stealth 2. Bandana 3. Camera |
| 4. Fa-Mas Tracer 5. Tuxedo 6. Crimson Ninja |
| 7. Meryl/Panties 1 8. Meryl/Panties 2 9. Delivery Truck |
| 10. Meryl Blushing 11. Nice Wolves 12. Piss-Off Mei |
| 13. Meryl Cam 14. Torture Fun 15. Fun Deaths |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
1. Stealth - To get the Stealth, Submit to Ocelot's Torture, then complete the
Game (You should receive the ending w/ Ocelot). Replay the game over your
old data and you will have the Stealth in your inventory. The Stealth
grants you invisibility to everything except Boss Battles, Important in
game battles, and Wolves.
2. Bandana - To receive the Bandana, do NOT Submit to Ocelot's Torture. Then,
complete the Game (You should have gotten the Ending w/ Meryl). Play again
over your old data and the Bandana will be in your inventory. The Bandana
grants you un-limited ammo.
3. Camera - To receive the Camera, When you receive a Level 6 security card, go
to the area where you fought Revolver Ocelot (Second Floor Basement,
Hangar). Exit that room (the way you came in) and place a C4 on the wall
to your right. The wall will blow, revealing two new doors. In the first
door is where the Camera is. W/ the camera, you can take pictures (It's
more fun than it sounds).
4. Fa-Mas Laser Gun - To get your Fa-Mas to use laser sights, you must first
have your Bandana. Then, wait until you only have three more bullets left.
Then, Use your bandana, and your Fa-Mas will be able to trace! Very Useful.
5. Tuxedo - To play as Solid Snake in a Tuxedo Suit, beat the game twice using
your old data. Then, on your third game, Snake will change into his Tuxedo
while your going up the first elevator.
6. Crimson Ninja - To fight the Ninja wearing a red costume, beat the game two
times using your old data. Then, the Ninja you fight will be in a weird
Crimson Red get-up. Plus, his icon will appear on the memory card.
7. Meryl in her Underwear 1 - To see Meryl in her Underwear for the first time,
here's what you do. When you're going through the holding ducts to get to
the Darpa Chief's cell, look down into the cell, where Meryl is. Then, Go
back out, down the ladder, and back up again, and look down into her cell
again. Keep doing this five or six more times, and then when you look down
she'll be doing sit-ups.....Without and pants on!
8. Meryl in her Underwear 2 - When you're supposed to find Meryl when she is
masquerading as a soldier, she will immediately run into the bathroom when
caught. If the time when you enter the bathroom and you get to the last
stall is under five seconds, you will catch Meryl w/out her pants on!
9. Delivery Truck - To use the delivery truck for transportation, grab a
Cardboard Box. Then, get in the back of the truck, and get in the Box.
The soldier will get in the truck, and drive the box to the designated
area (It says on the box). You must use a box that has an area written on
it that is different than the one you are in.
10. Nice Wolves - There are two methods to get the wolves not to attack you.
First is, equip Sniper Wolf's handkerchief. The Second (Harder but more
fun) is... First enter the cave and kill all the dogs, except for the
little one near Meryl. Then, shoot Meryl and get into a cardboard box.
The little dog will then "relieve" himself on your box. From then on,
whenever you walk through the caves, equip your box and you'll go through
un-harmed.
11. Piss-Off Mei Ling - To Piss off Mei Ling, simply call her 10 times w/out
saving. She'll then get pissed and stick her tongue out at you.
12. Meryl Blushing - To Make Meryl blush, just stare at her in first-person mode.
13. Meryl Cam - Right before you fight Psycho Mantis, when your in the commanders
office, look in first-person mode. You'll actually be looking through
Meryl's eyes.
14. Torture Fun - During the Torture scene, you are tortured a total of 5 times.
If you can survive all 5 of those tortures, all the items in your inventory
Will be put back at full stock (i.e. Full Ammo, Full Rations).
15. Fun Soldier Deaths - Here are some exciting ways to see a soldier die.
Throw them into the lava!!
Strap a C4 to their back!!
Place a claymore in their path!!
Blow them up while there taking a piss!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Extra Modes |
|Here are all the Extra Modes you can obtain through completing various tasks|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack Mode - Defeat all ten levels on Practice Mode
Time Attack Mode is like Practice Mode, except you have a set Time
to complete each mission.
Gun Shooting Mode - Defeat all Ten Levels of Time Attack Mode
Like the previsious. Except, you have a set time to complete all
levels, a set amount of ammo, and you must kill every guard.
Survival Mode - Defeat all ten levels on Gun Shooting Mode
The Hardest of them all. You have to complete all the levels in
under 7:00, and you must conserve your ammo, your not refilled
immediately after each stage. You must also kill all the guards to
proceed.
Technical Demonstration Mode - Defeat Survival Mode
This mode shows you how to beat all the Gun-Shooting modes in
record time.
Extreme Mode - Complete the Game
Extreme mode is Hard mode x2. It's no radar, rations only dropped
by enemies, harder enemies, less food, less ammo, and more crap factor.
Demo Theater Mode - Complete the Game
The Theater Mode lets you view all the Cut-Scenes and Radio
Transmissions from one game. There are two versions. The first
is obtained by beating the game with the good ending, the second by
beating the game on the bad ending.

| Boss Tips |
| Here are some tips on beating the bosses in the game, there are other |
|Bosses which I will have tips up for soon. (These stats were taken directly|
|From Expert Gamer, so here is their shameless plug). |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
Boss 1: Revolver Ocelot
-10 Shots w/ Socom
-3 to 5 minutes
-Medium Difficulty
1. Just use your gun here, don't use anything else, or else you'll set the
wires off.
----------------------------
Boss 2: Vulcan Raven (Tank Version)
-Grenades (2 on Easy, 3 on everyt hing else)
-5 minutes
-Easy
1. First, pick up all the Claymores so you don't get f***ed by
them. Then, use a chaff grenade so they don't fire at you. Then, throw
grenades up at him.
2. You can set claymore mines in the tank's path to slow the tank down.
----------------------------
Boss 3: Cyborg Ninja (Gray Wolf)
-Hand to hand (60 hits)
-5 to 7 minutes
-Medium
1. Have your Thermal Goggles equipped at all times so you can see
him. Then, just play it safe and use your hands until he's down for the
count.
2. Throwing Chaff Grenades at Gray Wolf will explode, leaving him
vulnerable for the duration of the grenade. This is a good time to lay
the smack down on him.
----------------------------
Boss 4: Psycho Mantis
-Fa-Mas (20 Shots)
-3 to 5 minutes
-Medium/Hard (I think he's tougher then Hell)
1. 1st, save right before you get in here. You need to switch your
controller to the second port so he can't read your mi nd. Than, ju st plug
away. don't shoot Meryl though, just use hand-to-hand on her till she's
out.
----------------------------
Boss 5: Sniper Wolf A
-PSG1 (5 Shots)
-4 Minutes
-Medium
1. Make sure you have the PSG-1. Next, take a diazepam. Next,
equip your thermal goggles. Finally, equip the PSG-1 and fire away.
----------------------------
Boss 6: Helicopter
-Stinger Missiles (15 missiles)
-10 to 15 minutes
-Medium/Hard
1. Just hit and hide. That's all there is to it, and have patience
----------------------------
Boss 7: Sniper Wolf B
-Nikita (8 shots)
-4 minutes
-Easy
1. Hide behind some snow, fire a Nikita, and go into first person mode
at strike.
2. You can use your Stingers as well, then switch to the Nikita if you wish.
----------------------------
Boss 8: Vulcan Raven
-Stinger, Claymores (4 each) or Nikitas (????)
-5 to 7 Minutes
-Easy (I think he's a pain in the ass)
1. Just be careful and get all the items around you first. And
don't blow yourself up. I recommend Stingers but Nikitas are good and so
are claymores.
----------------------------
Boss 9a: Metal Gear Rex (First Form)
-Stinger (7 missiles)
-5 minutes
-Medium/Hard
1. Throw chaff grenades to screw up his system, then just fire
Stingers away at him. Hit his left shoulder.
----------------------------
Boss 9b: Metal Gear Rex (Second Form)
-Stinger (7 missiles)
-3 minutes
-Hard
1. Run under his legs to confuse him and hit the cockpit w/ a
stinger missle. This gets hard, watch out so he doesn't step on you.
It'll kill you instantly.
2. Using Stun Grenades will send him dizzy, making running under his legs
MUCH easier. (Highly Recommended)
3. Use a cardboard box, and run under his legs. This will confuse him and
you'll have a much easier battle.
----------------------------
Boss 10: Liquid Snake
-Hand to hand (65 hits)
-3 minute time limit
-Ass Hard
1. You have three minutes to wear him down and knock him off the
bot. This is tough, just pray that your lucky.
2. Don't try to break his neck as he will just toss you off.
3. Whenever Liquid grunts, That means he's going to charge at you. Just get
into crawling position and you'll avoid him.

Second set. Briefing Camera Fun
During more than a few of the briefing "tapes", you'll see the words "camera change" and "camera free". This lets you know that you can mess with the camera for a little something to do while you're 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, you'll probably figure out that the X button stops and ejects the "tape" by accident.

Change Title Screen Colors
When at the the Title Screen, simply press Up, Down, Left or Right on the d-pad to cycle through the different colors in the background graphics.

Defeating Metal Gear
To knock out the radome on Rex, use your stingers, but first throw out a chaff gernade or two be fore he "wakes up". Use the stingers while rex is trying to find you (but he cant sice you used the chaff gernades.) Don't wait for the target to come back after you shoot once, just wait for the smoke to clear. Don't forget to keep throwing out chaffs. After you talk to Gray Fox, use the stingers, and dont stop. If you put the stinger launcher away, the missiles will knock you down, just keep firing the stingers into the cockpit. Use you rations sparingly. Chaffs won't do any good this time, since Liquid is controling rex manualy. Remember, if you take it out of the launcher screen, you'll get knocked over by the missiles, and most likely die. Just remember you don't need the electronic site to fire.

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 "HIDEO" 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 won't be able to tell where your going to go because he can only read your left brain (left controller), he can't read your right brain (right cont.).
Submitted by Katze (koolmage@hotmail.com)
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 mini-rooms inside of it. Go into the top-left room using your recently acquired level 5 key card. Inside is a PSG-1 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 PSG-1 without it shaking. Go back to Sniper Wolf and shoot her with your PSG-1.
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.
Submitted by Kody Dollins
Defeating Sniper Wolf (2nd time)
Equip your nikita and run up. You will have a little fmv and then run to the lower left. Use your nikita to attack Wolf. It is easier to attack her with the missiles than to snipe her with the PS-G1. Make sure she doesn't see your missile because she might shoot it. It is easier to see her in first-person mode.
Submitted by holy protector
Defeating The Ninja
Once you've reached the Ninja hit the Ninja with your bare hands a couple of times and he will fight you the same way. After the Ninja starts to glow,(which is at the end of the fight) time the glowing and hit the Ninja with your hands. If you are hit with the glowing you will probably die.
Submitted by BUNDYMAN
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 don't 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, you'll 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 Gunner's 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 first-person mode to make it easier to aim the missile. First turn right, and go through the door straight ahead, then left and you'll be in the room with the generator. Now just run into it. The cameras may shoot it down, so you'll probably have to try this more than once.

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 re-enter it again. Meryl adopts a series of power workout moves each consecutive time you view her. They are: A) sit- ups, B) single-arm push-ups, C) stretching, D) sit-ups in underwear, E) single-arm push-ups in underwear, F) stretching in underwear, G) sit-ups (same as A, and continuing with these from now on.)

Exploding Soldiers
After getting the stealth suit start a new game. When you find the C4 try to sneak up behind a Genome soldier and plant it but be careful. You need to be close. With any luck you will plant a C4 pak on the Soldier's back. Get back and detonate it. Sayonara Soldier!!!
Submitted by Adam Lingo
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 supressor silencer and 5 bullets per guard. If you run out of bullets, you'll 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.

Fa-Mas 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 Fa-Mas and Fa-Mas ammo.
Now on your bullet counter in the lower right hand corner of your screen, you'll see that the last three shots are colored red. Fire the Fa-Mas 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 Fa-Mas ammo would. Now put on your bandana. Because the bandana tricks the computer into thinking that you didn't fire your last shot, you will now fire all tracers. This acts as a "guidance system" of sorts and allows you to aim the fa-mas just as acurrately as the socom.

Fast Travel
To move about through the complex faster, hide inside a cargo truck and use a C.Box. 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.)

First Person Nikita Missile
You can go into first person mode with the nikita missles by launching the missle, then pressing triangle. However you can only do this for a certain amount of time or else it will blow up. this comes in handy when fighting Sniper Wolf, and also blowing up the electric panel source.

To get the Bandana, wich gives you infinite ammomo and no auto re-loads, 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.

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.

Getting Sick
If you fail in Revolver's 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 you're being held in the cell between Ocelot's 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 don't use the ketchup though, you will be treated to Ocelot's 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.

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 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.

When you are in your jail sell after being tortured, you can get out with out the help of Otacon. The guard is very sick and has the runs. When he leaves to go to the bathroom crawl under the bed and wait for him to come back. When he sees your gone he will run to the jail cell and open it. When he first gets to the door quickly get out from under the bed and when he comes in you knock him down once, and he will be out for good. Also if you call Otacon he will give you some stuff and one thing he gives you is ketchup. When the guard leaves lay on the ground with the ketchup equiped in your items.

Thermal goggle tips
When you play in a harder mode without the rader, the mine dector doesn't work. But if you use the thermal goggles you can see the mines. Also when fighting Mantis he likes to disapear. Just pop out the thermal goggles when he disapears and you can see him.
Submitted by RħH TH标R͍Ḵlt;br>
Torture Tips
This tip contains a minor spoiler. You've 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 won't 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, don't 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, "He's gone!" and runs to the door, hop out and snap his neck.
After you get your stuff back, get rid of the "Timer B." It's a time bomb.

Third set. Metal Gear Solid Faq (well, sort of) - by Mark Stephenson
After paying Metal Gear Solid a few times I've noticed a few sticking points
where the solution to the problem may seem obscure or knowledge of japanese is
needed.
I'm writing this mini-faq to help those non-japanese amongst us(yes, including
me)to solve the puzzles.
TO SAVE - Press select(to bring up the radio), highlight the top right option,
select the top option.
Okay, here they are.
1.There are walls on the B2 floor that can be blown up(use the C4), one of these
leads to another section.
2.After getting the level 2 key and the mine detector, meryl should contact you.
Stand by the door in the main room, near to where the tank was on the circular
markings. You can also contact Meryl if you know her frequency(40.15). If
nothing happens just keep talking to her, kill all the guards in the room and
talk to the other people aswell.
3. Use your mine detector to avoid the mines, or crawl along to pick them up.
4. Throw grenades onto the tank to kill the gunners. Use chaff grenades to
prevent the tank from shooting you.
5. To get past the electrified floor use your Nikita missile and blow up the
generator, use your map to locate it.
6. Punch the ninja boss to kill him(can you find the playstation in the room?)
7. Wait for the guard to go into the ladies toliets(right room), it's Meryl in
disguise.
8. PSYCHO MANTIS - Use Stun grenades to prevent Meryl from shooting you and
herself. Use Socom, Fa Mas and punching to damage Mantis. When he disappears use
thermal goggles to locate him.
9. Use Stun grenades on dogs. Look for the crawl places to reach Meryl.
10. Once Meryl has been shot go back to the room where you C4'd the walls and
find the sniper rifle in one of the rooms. Go back and kill Sniper Wolf(and yes
you can shoot the rats above her).
11.To escape from prison go through the torture scene and then back into the
cell. The guard should have a cold(if he doesn't go through the torture again),
watch him and he should run to the toilet. The scientist guy(the one in the
ninja room) should come while he's away. Get the scarf and ketchup from him and
hide under the bed. The guard will now come in and wonder where you are. Stay
under the bed until he opens the door and then punch him a few times to daze
him.
12.You should have a level 6 card by now(if you want you can go to floor B2 and
find the camera near the boss room). Go back to where you fought Sniper Wolf and
through the door.
13.In the next section you are seen whatever you do so just grab the rope and
run up the stairs throwing stun grenades to stun the guards.
14.At the top of the building run to the topmost side of the building and you
should start the swing down. This section is tricky because you have to avoid
the gunfire, steam and negotiate your way down the building use swing, jump,
drop technique. The door at the bottom can be blown with C4 to unfreeze it, if
you need to go back later.
15. Use your Stinger Missiles on the helicopter and use the radar to locate him.
16. SNIPER WOLF - Same as the first time, just fire from the area by the left
tree. It's tricky though as there are a few collision and accuracy problems but
it should be too hard.
17.Back up against the wall by the moving crane and duck under when moves
towards you. To go back there is a lift by the exit.
18.VULCAN RAVEN - Just use grenades to kill him, easy peasy.
19.Use the PAL card on the laptops. The PAL card, when you drop it, is in the
water below, use thermal goggles if you can't find it.
20.The PAL card is temperature activated. The change it go to where Vulcan Raven
was and stand around for a minute or 2, the card will change. To change it again
go to where the crane was and do the same.
21.To escape from the gas, use your radio to contact the scientist, after a few
seconds he'll shut it down.
22.METAL GEAR & LIQUID SNAKE - Use your chaff grenades to block to rador and
then take out the Gears radar(Pod on left of Metal Gear) with your Stingers.
Hide behind the boxes for cover against the missiles. There are items around the
sides of the room if you need more ammo or health.
23. Get in the jeep with the scientist and shoot the barrels by the door to blow
the door.
Thats it the rest is easy. BTW MGS is like Resident Evil in that it logs your
time, ammo used, saves, etc and it gives you special items at the end. Guess
what item you get at the end?
Well, I hope that helped. I'd like to do a more detailed guide but I'm a busy
person. This should help people who are stuck. Feel free to post this
everywhere, anyhow. |
