| 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.

(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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Frequencies | | Campbell/Naomi - 140.85 Mei Ling - 140.96 | | Master Miller - 141.80 Otacon - 141.12 | | Meryl - 140.15 Nastasha - 141.52 | | Deep Throat - 140.48 ????????? - ?????? | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ratings | | Well, here's how it goes. There are 12 tiers of ratings, w/ 4 ratings | |in each, starting w/ the Flying Squirrel, and ending w/ the Big Boss. | |I don't have the ratings right now but they are all listed in the latest | |issue of PSM Online, if somebody could please send them in I will come to | |your house and dance for you in appreciation (well, I'll just give you | |credit). I will make a list on this FAQ once I get them. | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank Rank
