Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater List

FAQ/Walkthrough

FAQ/Walkthrough

Kabuki Face Paint
After you meet Eva behind the waterfall in Tikhogornyj, go back out of the waterfall. As soon as you come out, there should be a small lake in front of you with fish in it. Look in the northeast corner of the lake to find the Kabuki Face Paint.

Aggravate Eva
At the scene where you have to make your way to the Wig with an injured Eva, take a fake death pill. She will be alerted and rush to your side. If you revive yourself, she will be annoyed at you. Continue doing this and she will not believe you, making her more aggravated each time.

Hide from Eva in a box or put on the Monkey Mask in front of her. Lay on the ground and wait for Eva to also lie down. Try to crawl on top of Eva. She will start yelling and you will get a Codec call from Para medic.
Stare at Eva for a few seconds and she will tell you to stop. Put books down in front of Eva. She will start yelling and call Snake a pervert.
Hint: Suggestive Eva comments:
After the motorcycle crashes, shoot Eva with a dart. This will make her say things like, "mmm… thats the spot..." and "Ohh... Snake that feels so good…".

Destroying helicopters
When you are on the mountain, shoot the helicopter pilots and they
will explode.
Destroy the Hind helicopters at the compounds with helipads. When you go up the mountain, they will no longer appear, but will be replaced with flying platforms.
If you look at the chopper in the Bolshaya Past base and chat to the major, they will say it looks like a modified version of a Hip type chopper. Snake suggests calling it a Hind and the major agrees.
*** in Metal Gear Solid, Liquid Snake flew a Hind D. You can plant TNT on the Hind and blow it up. Stay way out of the way because the explosion is very big.
Information in this section was contributed by KungFuJeremy. Aim the SVD sniper rifle into the cockpit of the helicopter (in sniper mode) and fire off a few shots. If you are looking at the helicopter from the side, aim for the 2nd pilot closest to the back; he controls the vehicle.

Defeating The End
The battle with The End is a grueling sniper battle, but if you know what you are doing you will be able to take him down without being harmed. First, go to the river area. It has a lot of space and will make it easy for you to hide. Go to the lower half of the river area and find one of the hollowed out logs. Equip your Tree Bark Camo and wait for The End to begin snoring. This may take some time and patience, but it will be worth it. Also, watch out for his parrot.
If you find and shoot it, The End will have a difficult time finding you. Once you hear him snoring, equip your Leaf Camo and look for the "Z"s around his head. You can either go around him and use your Mk22, or take out your sniper rifle and shoot him. Either way, you will inflict heavy damage. Repeat this one or 2 more times to defeat him.

Try to find a green bird while battling The End. Shooting it will make him more aggressive, as it is his pet parakeet. At the end of battle, an intermission sequence featuring a transparent image of the bird (like a ghost) will replace the live bird. If you collect it as food, Para-Medic will say its odd to find a bird like this in the area, and not to eat it because it is so pretty. If you are wondering, it tastes bad anyway.

When fighting The End, kill his parrot. The parrot tells him where you are. With it dead, it is easier to sneak up behind and kill him.
In the 1st area where you meet him, to the northwest is a building with ammunition in it. The bird will appear there, as long as you go there first. It is perched on the southeast corner of the building.
Kill it, and the fight will be much easier. Also The End gets mad and it is funny to hear.

As you fight The End, he falls asleep. Hunt him and find his location, then shoot him with your MK22. Even if he has a little over half of his consciousness remaining, he will immediately be defeated. Apparently, if you can tranquilize him in the head while he is asleep, it does a considerable amount of damage.

Using the directional mic, you can find The End. Just listen for him breathing deeply, and usually he will say "This is The End".
Information in this section was contributed by Jllcoolj88.
Save the game immediately after the fight starts. Wait a few days or change the system date to over one week ahead and return. You will see an intermission sequence, where The End dies of old age and you do not have to continue the fight.

Quickly take out the SVD sniper rifle when The End 1st appears
during the intermission sequence in Operation Snake Eater. Shoot his escort and The End. He will explode and will not have to be faced in the Boss battle.
This trick requires the sniper rifle. At the end of the area of shallow water and the Hover Sentries, is an exit point on the left that leads to a storage place. In this storage room is the sniper rifle. Once you have it, go back. Go to the area where you see the intermission sequence of The Fear, Vulgin and The Boss. After it ends, equip the sniper rifle and aim for the guard pushing The End
in the wheelchair. Now, hit The End. He will die, then explode. The flames will hurt you, even from that distance. If desired, shoot the guard, and watch The End scoot himself inside. If you kill him there, you will must take on the Ocelot soldiers in the jungle part.

You will need Thermal Goggles for this trick. Equip the Thermal Goggles and any weapon that can do substantial damage quickly (for example, the shotgun). Run and look for him. Once he shows up on your map, sneak up behind him as usual. When he runs away, he should leave tracks that you can see with the Thermal Goggles. Now, just keep following him around until you kill him.

Fly camouflage
Go to Grainy Gorki Lab 2nd floor and go into the bathroom. Break the last stall door off (kicking recommended). Go inside to find the Fly camouflage. When wearing it, flies will suddenly swarm around you.

Avoiding detection by workers
When wearing a scientist or maintenance uniform, stay away from other workers as they will know you are not one of them. Use cig-spray or the handkerchief to knock them out first.

Eva's medical record
Near the end of the game when you are supposed to cure Eva, take a look at her medical history. Among many other injuries you will find a breast enhancement, a broken fingernail, a bad case of gas, and some other funny things.

Monkey Mask
Get the top five high scores in the Snake Vs. Ape mini-game. Alternatively, successfully win the game.
Raiden Mask:
Select the "I liked MG2" option when begining the game.

Animals camouflage:
Defeat Ocelot to get the Animals camouflage.

Banana camouflage:
Get the high score in each stage of the Snake Vs. Ape mini-game.

Cold War camouflage:
Defeat Volgen to get the Cold War camouflage.

Fire camouflage:
Defeat The Fury to get the Fire camouflage.
The Fire camouflage is flame retardant. You will not incur any
burns.

Get Eva through extreme mode
Use the following trick to complete areas when you are with Eva in extreme mode. Its very difficult to bypass the parts with Eva in extreme mode because there are a lot of enemies and her stamina runs low very quickly. Put her to sleep by shooting her with your tranquilizer gun. By doing this, her stamina replenishes and does not run low. Carry her yourself so she does not get lost, left behind, or shot and dies. To wake her up at the end of the areas, go to "Cure" and use the survival knife to awaken her.

Wound Ocelot
After you win the game, you should get a Single Action Army or a Patriot. Play the game again until Snake fights Ocelot (in movie mode) for the 1st time. When Ocelot and all of his guards are passed out, shoot Ocelot in the leg once (Single Action Army recommended). If done correctly, when you fight him in the game he will have a bandage around his leg. You can also kill him, and the Colonel will come on and say something funny about not killing him because you need him for the future.

Crocodile cap
When you meet Eva the 1st time, in the next area is a big swamp. Get into the swamp and go north. You will see 2 logs blocking your way. Go underwater and cross the logs to get to the area, where there is an ivy tree. Climb up the tree and press Triangle. Hang and move on the rope until you see another rope beneath you. When you see another rope, hang so that it comes directly beneath you and press X and then Triangle to grab to the 2nd rope. Move yourself all the way to the other side of the rope and drop down to get the crocodile cap.

Aiming firearms
When firing either of your pistols (the MK22 or the M9111A1), you will aim using the center pin of the sight. Whatever that pin is on is what you will be firing at. When using any other weapon, the shot goes directly towards the middle of your screen.

In-game reset
Hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start + Select during game play.
Hidden ending text:
After dying, remain idle at the "Game Over" screen. The letters will change until the words "Time Paradox" appears -This also happens if Eva, Revolver Ocelot, or Sokolov dies.

Watch intermission sequence through Snake's eyes:At specific points during some intermission sequences, the caption "R1" will appear for a moment at the upper right corner. Pressing this will allow you to see through Snake's eyes during that exact moment, giving you a unique perspective and occasionally allow you to see something hidden. Sometimes, but not always, you will even be able to move around your view with the Left Analog-stick (for example, at the beginning of Operation Snake Eater when you are in the jet, look up to see a hidden picture of a model). *** Pressing X will skip the intermission sequence.

Opening the door in weapons lab and getting Scorpion
To open the door that requires a radio frequency, you must capture a guard. Hold the knife to him to get the information by pressing L3 (145.86). Call that while standing in front of door to open it. You should hear a click. Once inside the door, the very powerful
Scorpion (includes laser sighting) can be found in the far northeast of the room, along with ammunition. *** The room can only be entered through the door located to the east. The one to the west does not open until after the east door is opened.

There is an officer that keeps walking through a locked door. All you have to do to get the Scorpion is follow him into the room while wearing the scientist's disguise.

Oyama Face Paint
Go to Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior: Inside Walls. Go to the west side of the area. Walk north when you reach a light pole. There will be a grassy area next to the main building. About halfway into the grassy area, there should be a hole in the wall which leads into a duct. Enter the hole. Once inside, go to the left and the Oyama Face Paint will be there.

Immortal GRU and KGB troops
When fighting Revolver Ocelot, shoot bullets or throw grenades at the squad in the back. They will duck the grenades and dodge the bullets (even Patriot).

Using the Single Action Army
In order to kill anyone with the Single Action Army, do not to shoot the enemy but instead shoot behind the enemy. The Single Action Army ricochets. Shooting behind the enemy will cause the bullets to bounce back and hit him. When you equip the Single Action Army revolver, go into 1st person view and move the Right Analog-stick in circles to spin it.

Hornet Stripe camouflage
Defeat The Pain to get the Pain camouflage. Mummy camouflage:
The Mummy camouflage makes you take less damage. It can be downloaded from the official web site for the game.

Spirit camouflage
Win the game. While equipping The Sorrow's Spirit camouflage, be careful of how you attack an enemy. Your stamina goes down with every enemy you kill.

Quick reload
While reloading your gun, quickly press R2(2), which will unequip and re-equip your gun to cancel the reloading time and still have your gun reloaded with ammunition. This method is only effective with guns that take more than 2 seconds to reload (for example, the RPG-7).

Defeating the Shagohod
Take out your RPG and aim for the Shagohod's treads. When you hit one of them, the Shagohod will be stunned for a fear seconds and give you an opportunity to attack. There is only one place you can do damage and this is on its back where sparks are flying out. You can only hit it once per tread damage, but if you shoot the weak point then aim for the treads and wait for them to start moving again and shoot, the Shagohod will be done for before you make a full rotation around him.

Because you will be using RPG-7 for most, if not all, of the battle, this method works very well. When you shoot the Shagohad's tread with your 1st missile, quickly press R2(2) to reload fast, and shoot the Shagohad's weak spot. Repeat the process until Shagohad gets back in motion. You can hit the Shagohad 2 to 4 times in one standing by using this method. The same can be done for for Volgin.

Handkerchief
In the east wing of the Groznyj Grad Weapons facility, in the "break room" area just north of the door leading to the hanger, there are 2 tables. Underneath one of these 2 tables (usually the left) is a box containing a handkerchief soaked in a knockout agent. It is highly effective when used in CQC.

Instant kill
For a quick kill, manually aim at the target's head and shoot. If this does not kill them instantly, it will do a good amount of damage and they will probably die after the next shot.

Saving medical supplies
If running low on medical supplies or want to use less, only heal part of the wound. As you heal the wound, the circle around it will become smaller. When healing a wound with one item, it will make the wound automatically heal, but the more supplies used the faster it will heal.

Kill Gavial crocodile
When a Gavial opens its mouth to yawn, throw a grenade in and watch as it blows up into little pieces. Pick them all up for rations.

Stealth camouflage
Find and shoot the hidden frog in every area to unlock the Stealth camouflage.

Tuxedo camouflage:
Win the game.

Free hits in Boss battles
When you are facing any of the bosses (except The Boss), you can use the Fake Death. When you use it, they will think you are dead and will not pay attention. You can now use the Revival, wake up, and get some free shots in against them.

Sleeping Snake
To make Snake fall asleep with "Zzz" above his head, eat a special mushroom to the west of the warehouse.

Spider camouflage
The Fear's Spider Camo is one of the best in the game. It will raise you camo up to 75 to 80 no matter where you are, but there is a catch. When wear it, the camo will drain your stamina. It is best to only use it when absolutely needed.

Johnny guard reference
In Metal Gear Solid , when Snake was searching for the DARPA Chief in the ventilation shaft, if you looked down through one of the gaps there was a guard on the toilet named Johnny. Now, in Metal Gear Solid 2 when Emma is balancing on the oil fence, if you equip the D-Mic you will hear her talking to the same guard, Johnny. In Metal Gear Solid 3, when Snake (or Big Boss) is talking to a lonely guard, the guard shows him a picture of his son, and tells him that his son's name is Johnny.

Zombie Face Paint
The Zombie Face Paint is located in Rassvet. It is behind the building where you meet Sokolov and EVA, and next to the 2 barrels. *** It can only be found while in Operation Snake Eater.

Slower stamina loss
Select the "I liked MGS" option when begining the game.
Non-lethal force bonus:
Defeat all Bosses without using lethal force to unlock one of the
following special camouflages.
Animals camouflage (reduces hand shaking when aiming guns)
Cold War camouflage (some enemies hesitate when shooting)
Fire camouflage (fire damage reduced)
Hornet Stripe camouflage (keep hornets, leeches, and spiders away;
can tame hornets)
Snake camouflage
Spider camouflage (stealth increased while stamina is reduced)
Camera:
Win the game.
Extreme difficulty:
Win the game.
Patriot:
To get The Boss' gun, the Patriot, successfully win the game.
This gun fires like a machine gun and carries unlimited ammo. However, if you use it during game play it will lower your rank at the end.

Escaping from prison
After being tortured by Volgin, you will be put into a prison cell. There are 2 ways to get out. The 1st is to get the fork off the ground and dig out the fake death pill that The Boss shot into your leg out and use it. Or, if you pressed R1 during the torture scene you may have seen The Sorrow holding a number (144.75). Call this while you are in prison. The doors will open and you will be able to escape.

An alternate way to get out of the prision cell after Volgin's torture, is to make Snake sick. Snake will vomit, and the guard will open the door to check on you. As soon as he opens the door, take him out and you will be free.

Defeating The Boss
Equip your Snow Camo and put on your Desert facepaint. Now, run next to one of the logs and lie down until The Boss runs and hides behind a tree. Equip your sniper rifle and get into your kneeling position. Find where The Boss is hiding and wait for her to poke out. Shoot her, and wait for her to hide. You do not have to lay down or move, and if you are far away enough you will avoid her CQC moves. Just sit in the same spot and continue shooting her with the sniper rifle. You will make quick work of The Boss.

She is afraid of grenades. Put some distance between yourself and her and start throwing the WP (incendiary) grenades. If you are an accurate thrower, once she starts burning and falls down, continue to throw WP grenades to the same location. If by chance she gets up to run towards you, time the throw to intercept her as she runs towards you. When she falls again, keep throwing more WP grenades to the same area. You will defeat her quickly. You will also do damage with regular grenades, and she even says "grenade" as she tries to dodge them. If you do connect, you will inflict heavy damage to her.

An easy way to defeat The Boss towards the end of the game is to put on the Snow Camo and apply an appropriate face design (Desert recommended). Stay crouched and you will not be noticed as easily. She will be looking for you and become confused, As soon as you see an opening, fire at her with any desired gun (one with a silencer is recommended, as your location will remain unknown). If you are engaged in CQC, keep tapping Circle and most of the time you will counter the attack and perform an attack of you own. If you ever find The Boss on the floor, take out any gun and fire simultaneously on her head or body. She will lose about one sixth of her health. Be careful -- as soon as she gets up she will fire at you while running away.

Use the following trick to defeat The Boss with the tranquilizer gun. It is recommended you have at least one life medicine. Save the game at the start of the battle. Wait a little while to play (or use Healing Radio). Now, put on the thermal goggles. When she runs towards you, go to the sides and try to punch her 3 times but do not use CQC, as she will revert it .After you knock her down, shoot her in the head. *** You can only shoot her twice. Repeat this until her stamina is down.

When fighting The Boss at the end, just before you escape, plant claymores in the grass and equip your mine detector. When The Boss enters CQC, she will most likely hit one of your claymores, making the battle easier. The best location for the claymores would be in the middle of the field, and have Snake hide behind the tree.

When she charges at you for CQC, you can easily counter it when you see the exclamation point over Snake's head. If you cannot see it, you still can hear him grunt. When you see or hear those signs, tap Circle and you will easily counter her CQC. You can now shoot her in the head twice while she is bent over, or CQC throw her to the ground, then shoot her.

*** After you defeat The Boss, hold Triangle to control the
camera.

Tusuchinoko animal and Infinite Face Paint
A mousetrap is required for this trick. While you are fighting Ocelot, notice that there is a tree that is cut off with branches sticking out the side that you can also climb. Remember this tree and what it looks like. Now, go to Graniny Gorki South (immediately after the Ponizovje Warehouse). Graniny Gorki South is a huge area filled with trees. Find it that tree in the north, if you are coming from the Ponizovje Warehouse exit. When you find it, there should be a lot of bushes nearby. Take your mousetrap and lay it down in the bushes, mostly near that tree though. Place it about an inch of screen length away from that tree. Lay it down and look at the ground. If done correctly, you should see a rabbit hit the mousetrap first. Lay down on the floor and crawl to pick up your mousetrap again (like a claymore mine), and get the animal as well. Now, get up, and put your mousetrap down again. It does not have to be in the exact location, but close enough. Now, instead of looking down, run around the forest until you hear the noise of a captured animal. Run back. pick up the animal, and it should be a snake. Keep repeating this process until you get the Tusuchinoko. There should be a rabbit, 2 snakes, a squirrel, another snake, another squirrel, then the Tusuchinoko. Dispose of all of them or eat them to fit the Tusuchinoko, because they are alive and take up space. When you retrieve it, do not look in your food items area. Call Major Zero immediately. He will tell you information that you may need to know. Keep it alive in the cage (do not eat it). If you keep it alive through the entire game, when everything is completed and your ranking appears at the end, you should notice that you now have the Infinite Face Paint. *** Use the following trick to keep the Tusuchinoko when you lose the food when Snake gets captured at Groznyj Grad. When you find EVA at Tikhogornyj, behind Waterfall area she will give you your backpack, Equip your MK22. Notice that in your food Items, you do not have the Tusuchinoko. This is why you must hurry and go back out of the waterfall. When your out of the waterfall, stay on the trail that you came out of from the waterfall (on the right side of the river). Follow it down till you see the Tusuchinoko squirming on the floor. Quickly shoot it with the MK22. Grab it and make sure that it is in a cage and still alive. Take it through the rest of the game alive without eating it, and you will get the Infinite Face Paint.

Drunk Granin
Stay after talking to Granin in the little room between the cells and the room he is drunk in. He laughs and starts saying "Someone's in here!", falls asleep, then dreams "Ahh Tanya yes ohhh". *** Keep knocking on his door a and he will get angry.

Snake camouflage
Defeat The Boss to get the Snake camouflage.

Sneaking camouflage:
Return to the locker where you originally stuffed Major Raidenkov into. This can only be done after you get your equipment from Eva under the waterfall. When you return to the locker and open it, instead of Raidenkov's body being inside, you will find the Sneaking Suit. Put on the mask and the Sneaking Suit for some old fashioned 1960's Raiden action.

*** Across from the suit and about 2 doors down is a worker's costume. This will allow you to plant the C3 with no trouble, as the entire room is full of them. *** Do not use the mask as they will recognize that Ivan is dead.

Snow Face Paint
When you get to Balshaya Past Base, go to the south. There should be a turret. To the left of the turret is a tunnel. Go into the tunnel.
Under the 1st wooden bridge, there will be the Snow Face Paint.

Defeating Volgin
Defeating Volgin on top of the Shagohod is the same as fighting it the 1st time. Take out your RPG and aim for the treads. When you hit the treads, you will stun the Shagohod and leave a window open to do damage to Volgin. You cannot hurt him unless you shoot him in the sides of the back. Make sure you are close enough to get behind him and unload with any gun. Do this to make quick work of Volgin.

Volgin is fairly easy once you know how to get around him, when fighting for the 1st time. Wait until he starts recharging electricity or is charging electricity to attack you. Once he is in either of those situations, this is an opening for you. Get behind as fast as possible and fire at his head. Takes decreases the most health from him with the least amount of time. Be careful -- unequip your weapon quickly. If you are caught a few times in his electric ball, your ammunition that remains in your gun will blow up. After you decrease half of his health, his attacks will get more aggressive -- be cautious.

When you are trying to take down his stamina bar, use stun grenades.


After Volgin gets on the Shagohod, shoot the treads with the RPG-7, then use the sniper rifle to shoot his head. This takes away a lot of his life. Do this one more time and you will defeat him.

The following trick is an easy way to defeat Volgin on top of the Shagohod. Once the battle begins with Volgin chasing Eva, move Snake to one of the 2 turret guns. Get inside and maneuver the turret gun towards Volgin and the Shagohod. Wait until Volgin is at the farthest end away from Snake. Once you have determined that he is far enough, start shooting at Volgin (preferably at his head). Continue shooting at him until he is dead. You should not have to worry about ammunition because the turret gun has an unlimited amount. In the event that you do not achieve the actions described above with the 1st turret gun, there is also a 2nd one that you can use.

When battle starts, equip the M63 and fire at him. Eventually the shield will break and you will do some good damage. Repeat this until he is defeated.

Use a fully-automatic weapon such as the AK-47 or the big machine gun that can hold 210 rounds. Do not be afraid of his electric attack that blows your bullets out of its cartridge. If you keep shooting you should hit him. Repeat this until he is dead. Also, make sure to pick up ammunition that Ocelot throws down at you.

Purge poison
When Snake is stricken with food poisoning, use the "Sick Snake" trick to make him vomit. It will cure the food poisoning. *** The "Sick Snake" can be done when standing and crouching.

Worried Signit
Equip the box and call Signit. This will start a conversation with Snake saying how the box makes him feel safe, and it is his destiny. This will thoroughly creep out Singit.

Moss Camouflage
Get near The End and when he hits you, open your map from survival viewer and sneak to the red dot. The dot is The End. Point a shotgun at him. *** The weapon must be the shotgun. He will lay down but will not give it to you. Aim your shotgun 2 or 3 more times and he will give the Moss Camouflage to you.

To get this camo easily you will need is the Spirit Camouflage, a shotgun, and the AP sensor. The Spirit camouflage eliminates the sound of your footsteps and the AP sensor makes a lot of beeps when sum1 is near you. Run around until you get shot at. When you get shot by The End, his location will appear on the map. Look at the map, and find his position. Try to get around him, as you must approach him from behind. He cannot hear your approach due to the Spirit Camouflage. Run to his position, and when you get near, walk slowly towards him. When you are a few feet away, point the M37 Shotgun at him. Do not shoot. Just point at him in 1st person view. Keep moving the shotgun (while remaining in 1st person view) up and down. When you have aimed at his head about 3 times he will give you the Moss Camouflage. The Moss Camouflage will give you 100% camouflage in grassy areas and restore your stamina when you are in the light.

Fork
When in the prison cell after Colonel Volgin's torture, look around on the floor. There is a fork. This can be used to skewer small animals (which Snake immediately eats), or as a method of self defense.

Control introduction sequence
During the opening sequence, press L3 to change the language of the text that scrolls across the screen. If pressed enough times, it turns into a snake skeleton. You can also press R1 during the opening sequence to hear a girl whisper "Snake eater". If you move the Right Analog-stick during the opening sequence, birds will fly across the screen in the direction it is moved. Move the Left Analog-stick to control the direction of the credits. If you press the D-pad you can make dots appear on the screen. If you move the Right Analog-stick, soldiers with parachutes will go across the screen. Press R3 to control the picture that goes across the screen when you move the Right Analog-stick.

Frustrate Volgin
In the battle against Volgin in the Shagohod hanger, put on the Raikov mask. Volgin will begin to say things like " Ivan?". This will make Volgin slightly more aggressive, and make it easier to attack his back. However, his attacks will become more fierce.

Poisoned guard
Toss a snake at a guard. This will cause the guard to wrestle with it. If its a poisonous snake, it will infect the guard.

Fighting Raikov
When you 1st get to Graznyj Grad, you must steal Major Raikov's uniform. He can be found in the restroom, and will use Raiden's "Double Kick" and "Cartwheel" moves.

Sprinting guard
In Groznyj Grad 1F immediately after you meet up with Eva in the waterfall, when u go through the door you will hear sum1 saying "Move!" and shooting. When you go closer, you will see 2 guards.
One guard is running back and forth and the other is shooting in the air and screaming "Sprint!" and "On the double!"

American Portable Light Machine Gun
This weapon is located in the room behind some boxes where the shotgun is found. Check the entire area to find more items. *** It is recommended to 1st eliminate all the enemies before searching the area. You can go back to fight The End.

Fire support radio
Tune to one of the following radio frequencies for fire support.
140.09
141.31
141.62
142.12
145.68
146.74
147.32
147.90
148.56
149.29

Regaining stamina after torture
When in the prison cell after Colonel Volgin's torture, wait a little while. The guard makes 2 stops by your cell. With each stop he says "Chow Time!" and throws you a ration. There is also a rat running around your cell. Use the fork to skewer and eat it to help regain stamina.

Sonar
Be careful when using the sonar. If you are close to an enemy and use it, they can hear the sonar "beep". This has the potential of putting them on alert.

Defeating The Sorrow
The Sorrow does not really do much as far as fighting, but if you want an easier battle with him you must keep your kill count at a minimum. The Sorrow only attacks you with the soldiers that you have killed in the game. If you only used your Mk22 throughout the game, there will be no soldiers to attack you.

The Sorrow is tricky, and only attacks you with the soldiers you have killed. When you have passed all of the dead soldiers The Sorrow will teleport his own corpse. Walk into the corpse and you will die. At the "Snake is dead" screen, hold L1 and look for the Revival Pill that is shaped like your tooth. Press Circle to use it, and you will wake up again.

Dodge all ghosts while moving forward without stopping. Go all the way downriver to the point where Sorrow hovers over his own dead carcass. Punch Sorrow , which actually kills you. Before the letters have a chance to complete and read "Snake is dead", quickly press L2 to take the reviving pill. Snake wakes up underwater and swims to the surface. The game will resume. If you do not take the pill, the game ends.

This trick requires grenades. Drop about 4 grenades until you die. When you are dead, hold L2 and scroll to the revival pill.
Press Circle when the menu is on it. An intermission sequence should start, with Snake underwater.

When you find yourself in the river being attacked by the people you have killed, press X to dive down in the water. Now, just wait underwater until your life goes down all the way. This will cause you to drown yourself in a matter of seconds.

When The Sorrow hits you with his tentacle, it will show you an image of his life and death. If you attempt to swim, a guard's ghost will rise from the water and stop you. *** During the battle, The Sorrow will sometimes say you will be killed by your own sons, which is ironic considering who Snake turns out to be.

If you use white powder grenades to kill a guard in the battle, the guards will spontaneously burst into flames.

Game magazines
After you escape from your cell in Groznyj Grad, you will be in a hallway. Run through the exit to the cells and past the guard station. Run as far south as you can, then turn into the left door. On the bed, there will be a magazine. This is the Gamepro magazine that featured Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on the cover.

When going through the Laboratory you can find issues of EGM and PSM that featured Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on the cover.
Hint: EZ gun:
To get the EZ gun, which has infinite tranquilizer bullets, play under the Very Easy difficulty setting.

Alternatively, capture all 47 animals and plants. *** You do not have to keep or eat them. After capturing one, you can drop it from your inventory.

Control title screen
Press L3 to change the background pattern color. Press R1 or R2 to control its speed. Press L1 to place the black silhouette from the foreground to the background. Press L2 to change the color of the black silhouette. Press Triangle to turn the background black.

Battle damaged Snake
Before you go into surgery for any necessary treatment of wounds, change Snake's camouflage to "Naked." After you apply bandages to wounds, they will show up on Snake's body.

Grenade camouflage
The Grenade camouflage gives unlimited grenades. It can be downloaded from the official web site for the game.

Mosin Nagant gun
After defeating The End, go directly west to find a clearing. The box should be there. Use thermal goggles to find it easier. The rifle is called a Mosin Nagant and is a tranquilizer sniper rifle. Call Sigint while gun is equipped for a history lesson.

Jiggly Eva
When you are with Eva go to the cure screen and press R1. This will display an x-ray of her. If you zoom in, notice that everything is visible. Also, if you move the camera up and down she will get a little jiggly.

When you are helping her through the woods after the crash, go to the survival viewer and view her skeleton. Zoom in close then turn her to the side.

Defeating The Fear
Beating The Fear with the Mk22 is no simple task -- once his stamina gets low enough, he will run off and find food to raise his stamina back up. The easiest way to defeat The Fear is to equip your Thermal Goggles and stay in the location that you start the battle in. When you have lowered his stamina enough, he will jump out of your range.
Watch which direction he goes to in 1st person view, then run there. If you are quick enough, you will catch him in the tree trying to get some food. Shoot him a few more times and you will finish The Fear.

When fighting The Fear, equip to your weapon inventory poisonous
foods or sleepy mushrooms. Now, before he starts hunting for food, throw them out on the ground. When he looks for food, he will sometimes go for the food that you threw on the ground other than hunting for his own. This may help when trying to defeat him by using only non-lethal attacks.

Defeating The Fear is easy with one move. Kill a few poisonous dart tree frogs (they are represented by little red dots moving around on the ground). Equip them in your weapon inventory. Find one of the many traps between 2 trees and aim for that area. When The Fear runs out of stamina, he will go for your food as long as you are near it. If you placed it right under a trap trigger (the rope that sets the trap off) he will come down, take the bait, get hit by the trap, and vomit. Now, shoot him about 2 or 3 times with the MK22.

This trick works on all difficulties, especially extreme. Kill as many animals as you can find before facing him. When you are at The Fear, save the game and turn off the PlayStation2. Before you start the game again, set the system date to one year ahead. Therefore, all your food will be rotten. This process will make it easier to kill The Fear by shooting your rotten food at him, letting him eat it, and slowly draining his life. It will also add a bonus 3 seconds when he realizes it is rotten -- shoot him as many times as possible.

Go to a tree with vines on it. Climb it until you get to the branch
above it. Put on your thermal goggles, and it is a lot easer to kill him. *** If you want the Spider Camo use the MK22 or the EZ gun. Keep a close eye on him so that he does not run to find food. If he does, just wait until he gets back in a tree and repeat until you kill him.

Interrogate Eva
Get Eva to stand, then grab her and interrogate her as you would a guard. She will say 4 different things. *** You must keep holding L3.These are: "And then when I was 17", "Instant noodles", "36 23 34", and "Up up down down left right I forgot the rest".

Kill Ocelot
After you get Sokolov, and after the scenes, the GRU soldiers will be on the ground. Just kill Ocelot as you would a soldier. You will see the "Game Over" screen with the message "Ocelot is Dead".

Defeating The Pain
The Pain is the 1st Boss that you will fight in this game, not counting your little duel with Ocelot. This Boss is a Hornet Trooper that can control wasps. On the very easy mode, find the shotgun before you fight him. If you do not have it and have already fought Ocelot, you will not be able to get one. Shoot when he either is about to shoot you, is prancing around, or does not have wasps protecting him like body armor. With a few well placed shots, you will be fighting the 2nd part of him. This is when he has his Halloween mask off to reveal his deformed face. During this time, he will have his body armor of wasps and will have wasps that will fly into your body that eats your organs away. Para-Medic will tell you how to heal. The Pain's health is still very low. Also, try to fight in the water. When he shoots the wasps at you, swim underwater so they cannot get you. If you run out of ammunition, use your AK 47.

Screaming Sokolov
To make Sokolov scream, go near his room (crawl space, window, or door). Fire a shot and he will say, "Please stop!" or will scream.

Shotgun
The shotgun is located in East Sokrovenno. When you meet The End, turn back to the south exit. You will find an area with lots of traps (you just passed the area to meet The End). Once you are there, turn east and there will be a cottage. The shotgun is located in the area.

When you fall into the dark cave, get the torch behind the waterfalls. Now, craw through a tunnel to get on top of the waterfalls. Keep going until you see 2 tunnels, one directly ahead and another on your right. Go to the one on your right. Keep going and you should see a place with a long hole in the wall. Use your torch and look on the ground near the hole. You will see a long box containing the shotgun. The shotgun is also useful against The Pain.

Raikov gets insulted
When trying to get the costume/outfit to imitate Raikov, call Eva. She will 1st tell you what to do. Call her again and Snake will ask why Major Raikov has Colonel class clearance. Eva will say "You dont know? Even after seeing the photo"? Snake will respond "No". She will then say "You're a little slow. Think about it", then hang up on you. When Volgin walks in and sees Snake in his Raikov costume/outfit he will say, "Major you were suppose to meet me in my room", then grabs Snake below the belt. He reaches back and does it again before saying "I know the Major better then anyone else". Later, after The Boss asks Volgin if he will kill Snake, he agrees but says that he will 1st make him pay for hurting Ivan. Raikov's 1st name is Ivan. Raikov when seeing food on the floor says "food" in an high pitch whiny voice.

Referred as dead on the radio
When fighting The Sorrow, call anyone using your radio. They will think you are dead and start talking as if you died in any part of the game.

Cancel alert radio
Tune to 144.40 on your radio to cancel Alert mode. *** This can only be done one time. During alert mode, grab a guard and interrogate him. He will give you a radio frequency number. Call it and the alert will go away.
*** The number changes.

The following is a list of some of the "Cancel alert" frequencies:
149.46
140.61
141.45
146.67
141.98
142.79

Hidden intermission sequences
In Groznyj Grad after the torture scene, you will wake up in the prison. Get the fork and remove the bullet, but do not remove the transmitter. Now, continue the game. Later when you meet Eva behind the water fall, there will be a funny extra intermission sequence that takes place after Snake pushes her away from the kiss. The extra scene will only play if you still have the transmitter in you at this point.

At the end when Snake is looking at the grave of The Boss, then salutes it, press R1 to see all the graves around him moving as if blurred from tears.

While facing The End, let him shoot you with as many tranquilizer darts as possible until you collapse. When this happens, a hidden intermission sequence begins, showing him picking you up and carrying you all the way back to Graniny Gorki, with the Japanese model and the frog on the table. For some reason he forgets and leaves the door completely open for your escape.

After defeating The Boss, a horse will come to you. Hold R1 to see the ghost of The Boss behind the horse. The R1 display up at the top right is not shown.

nt: Raikov acts strangely
Wear the Raikov costume/outfit and mask in front of Raikov. He will act like any other guard. If you wear a scientist costume/outfit, he will grab you below the belt, then smack you to the ground and move on

Avoiding damage from the Shagohod on the runway
To avoid being harmed by the Shagohod while you are driving down the runway, attack the Shagohod's treads. This will slow the Shagohod down, keeping it from getting close enough to hurt you.

Naken Raiden appearance
Kill Raikov to see a naked Raiden running down the Sorrow's river.
Hint: Hit on by Raikov:Go to the building where steal Raikov's clothing. Wear the scientist's costume/outfit and mask. Go to the locker room, then begin knocking the doors off the lockers. Raikov will appear and ask "What are you doing?". Look at him and he will get very close and say "How beautiful".

Hi

See Ocelot in intermission sequence
During the final intermission sequence, just after Snake is given his medal, press R1 (it is not prompted) If you look to the left, you can see Ocelot for the last time outside of the window.

Sigint: Funny calls
Call him with the following items, weapons, face paint, or camo on: Sneaking Suit, Tux, GA-KO, Naked Camo, Box, Patriot, EZ Gun, or any of the non-helpful face paint.

Signit's dream
Radio Sigint immediately after playing the Nightmare mini-game. He will tell you about a dream he had.

Showdown with Ocelot
At almost the end of the game, when you have the showdown with Ocelot, you can do one of 3 things. Choose the gun on Snake's left and you will not get the Single Action Army in New Game. Select the gun on Snake's right shoot Ocelot and get the Single Action Army in the New Game. Select the gun on Snake's right, but do not pull the trigger. An intermission sequence will start after Ocelot pulls the trigger the sixth time, and you will still get the Single Action Army in the New Game.

In the final duel with Ocelot, save the game. Choose the gun on the right, aim for his body, and shoot. He will say that it is a blank. Reload the game and choose the gun on the right again and aim for the wall. You will see a bullet hole in the wall.

Para-Medic. Funny calls
Basically with anything that you capture, either animals or plants, you can get a laugh from calling her because she describes them all.

In the mountain area, kill a guard. This will attract vultures. Once a vulture appears and begins to eat the dead guard, kill it and eat it, then call her.

When you are in the area where you are dressed up as a Scientist, there is an area in the building that is outside. Near this tree is a mushroom that Para-Medic has no information for. Once you have talked to her, eat it. Then when you get the chance, quickly call her back.

In the cave, find a Russian Glow Cap. Call her before eating one. Then eat it, and call her back.

GA-KO camouflage
The GA-KO camo has the ability to make the Kirotan frogs call out to you when it is equipped. It is located in the 1st swamp north of Sokolov's research facility. It is in the northeast section, in shallow water. They will barely appear, even with thermal goggles. Once it is equipped, exit the survival viewer and you will hear the Kirotan frog only 3 times. If the sound is weak, you are not close to it. Move to another part of the area and press Start to open the survival viewer. Now, press X to exit and hear the frogs again. If the sound is stronger, then you are getting closer. Repeat this process to find the Kirotan Frogs in every area.

Healing radio
Using the interrogation maneuver on some guards by using L3 while engaged in Close Quarters Combat. This will make them spit out various hints, some of which will tell you secret stations you can tune to with your radio. After getting at least one secret frequency number, a new selection under your "Memory" will be available called "Healing Radio". There are a total of 8 secret frequencies you can find. Each will heal Snake to various degrees when you listen to them, and your life/stamina meter will appear to show you by how much it is helping you.

The following is a list of all "Healing Radio" frequencies
148.39 Surfing Guitar / 66 Boys
146.65 Rock Me Baby / 66 Boys
148.96 Pillow Talk / Starry.K
144.86 Jumpin' Johnny / Chunk Raspberry
143.32 Sailor / Starry.K
145.83 Salty Catfish / 66 Boys
142.09 Sea Breeze / Sergei Mantis
141.85 Don't Be Afraid / Rika Muranaka

Bypassing The End
When you 1st encounter him on the dock in the wheelchair, take notice. Once the scene is over, equip your SVD Sniper weapon, then shoot the man wheeling him in. Once he is dead, shoot The End as many times as you can before he escapes into the facility. If done correctly, he will laugh and the wheelchair will explode and hit Snake.

You must 1st be in the river area. Once there, put on leaf camo with woodland face paint. Remain still for awhile but keep looking around. When you look directly at him, you will see a glare. Once you see that, shoot as fast as possible. He will notice you about five seconds later. Repeat this until he is killed.

Sleep talking
In the scene where you have to reach the Wig with Eva injured, shoot her with a tranquilizer dart. She will pass out and begin to talk in her sleep. To wake her up again, go into the survival viewer and cure her with the knife. Alternatively, you can kick her awake.

Eventually, Eva will replace the word "Snake" with other names like "Boss" and "Fido".

Sick prison guard
After the torture scene and you are in the cell, throw the food you are given (and the rat). The guard will say, "Oh you're not hungry?
Thanks!". The guard will then say, "OWHHWH...." "OWW... I can not hold it any more". He will run for the restroom, start screaming, then say, "OHH... I don't think it will come out" followed later by, "I didn't think that was possible". He will try to flush the toilet, and it will become clogged.

Snake's Nightmare mini-game
Save the game immediately after Snake is captured in Groznyj Grad. Do not overwrite this file. When you load it, you can play the Snake's Nightmare mini-game.
Hint: Eva's bathing suit:
After you crash with Eva, after beating the Shagohod there will be 2 more areas before you reach The Boss. In the 2nd area, there will be a fork. There will be a tree at the very beginning of the right fork. Go behind it and enter 1st person view. Shoot the frog. Now, get near Eva and open up the survival viewer. Go to Cure", then to Eva. She should now be in her bathing suit.

Sick Snake
During a mission, go into the items screen by pressing Start. Press R1 to go into View mode to see Snake in the middle, and a set of coordinates on the left side of the screen. Both Analog-sticks will control the rotation of the view of Snake. Spin the view very fast either to the left or right so that Snake is spinning, and tilt the camera up and down continuously. Do this for at least 10 seconds then exit back to the game. If done correctly, Snake should vomit.
*** Be careful as patrols can hear Snake vomit.

Single Action Army
During Ocelot scene at the end, you must choose the unloaded weapon to obtain this weapon after the ending.

To start with the Single Action Army gun, when you are at the final duel with Ocelot choose the right box. He will shoot you, but it is a blank. He feels that he got his revenge, puts the gun in your pocket, and falls out the airplane. If you choose the left box, you will shoot him, then give the gun back to him. Thus you, will not start with it in the next game.

Finding medical supplies
You can get medical supplies from special garden plants (which appear using the thermal goggles), holding up soldiers/scientists, dragging scientists, and from special fruits and animals.

Kill Sokolov
When you go to rescue Sokolov, kill all enemies (to make this easier). Now, go to the east side. Near the ladder is a window. Once there, throw a grenade in it. You will hear Sokolov scream and the "Game Over" screen will appear with the message "Sokolov is dead".

Alert Phase misunderstanding
Many people seem to think that they cant achieve the stealth camo item due to the fact that they think that the 'caution' and 'evasion' phases count as an alert. But, what the alrert phase is, is the red one that says alert. when I first played it I also thought this

When you get shot by The End, his location will appear on the map. Look at the map, and find his position. Try to get around him, as you must approach him from behind. He cannot hear your approach due to the Spirit camouflage. Run to his position, and when you get near, walk slowly towards him. When you are a few feet away, point the M37 Shotgun at him. Do not shoot. Just point at him in first person view. Keep moving the shotgun (while remaining in first person view) up and down.

This will allow you to plant the C3 with no trouble, as the entire room is full of them do not use the mask as they will recognize that Ivan is dead.

# Spider camouflage

The Fear's Spider camouflage is one of the best in the game. It will raise your camo up to 75 to 80 no matter where you are, but there is a catch. When wear it, the camo will drain your stamina. It is best to only use it when absolutely needed.

# Tsuchinoko animal and Infinite Face Paint

A mousetrap is required for this trick. While you are fighting Ocelot, notice that there is a tree that is cut off with branches sticking out the side that you can also climb. Remember this tree and what it looks like. Then, go to Graniny Gorki South (immediately after the Ponizovje Warehouse). Graniny Gorki South is a huge area filled with trees. Find it that tree in the north, if you are coming from the Ponizovje Warehouse exit. When you find it, there should be a lot of bushes nearby. Take your mousetrap and lay it down in the bushes, mostly near that tree though. Place it about an inch of screen length away from that tree. Lay it down and look at the ground. If done correctly, you should see a rabbit hit the mousetrap first. Lay down on the floor and crawl to pick up your mousetrap again (like a claymore mine), and get the animal as well. Then, get up, and put your mousetrap down again. It does not have to be in the exact location, but close enough. Then, instead of looking down, run around the forest until you hear the noise of a captured animal. Run back. pick up the animal, and it should be a snake. Keep repeating this process until you get the Tsuchinoko. There should be a rabbit, two snakes, a squirrel, another snake, another squirrel, then the Tsuchinoko. Dispose of all of them or eat them to fit the Tsuchinoko, because they are alive and take up space. When you retrieve it, do not look in your food items area. Call Major Zero immediately. He will tell you information that you may need to know. Keep it alive in the cage (do not eat it). If you keep it alive through the entire game, when everything is completed and your ranking appears at the end, you should notice that you now have the Infinite Face Paint. Note: Use the following trick to keep the Tsuchinoko when you lose the food when Snake gets captured at Groznyj Grad. When you find EVA at Tikhogornyj, behind Waterfall area she will give you your backpack, Equip your MK22. Notice that in your food Items, you do not have the Tsuchinoko. This is why you must hurry and go back out of the waterfall. When your out of the waterfall, stay on the trail that you came out of from the waterfall (on the right side of the river). Follow it down till you see the Tsuchinoko squirming on the floor. Quickly shoot it with the MK22. Grab it and make sure that it is in a cage and still alive. Take it through the rest of the game alive without eating it, and you will get the Infinite Face Paint. Additionally, if you put down a mouse trap in any heavy forrest area, save game afterwards. Then, keep reloading and checking your traps. You can find the Tsuchinoko randomly caught in the trap. If you look and there is nothing decent in the traps, press L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + Start + Select to reset the game. Go back into "Load" and replay your saved game. Eventually there will be a Tsuchinoko in the trap. This can take 5 minutes or 4 to 5 hours.

# Hidden frog bonus

Find and shoot the hidden frog in each area to unlock a special camouflage.

# Completion bonuses

Your stamina goes down with every enemy you kill.

# PAL version completion bonuses

Successfully complete the European PAL version of the game to unlock Duel mode, European Extreme mode, and Demo Theatre mode. Note: After all intermission sequences are unlocked in Demo Theatre mode, a bonus "Peep Show" sequence featuring Eva in her underwear in various videos will become selectable.

# Single Action Army

To get the Single Action Army gun, when you are at the final duel with Ocelot choose the right box. He will shoot you, but it is a blank. He feels that he got his revenge, puts the gun in your pocket, and falls out the airplane. If you choose the left box, you will shoot him, then give the gun back to him. Thus you, will not start with it in the next game.

# Using the Single Action Army

In order to kill anyone with the Single Action Army, do not to shoot the enemy, but instead shoot behind the enemy. The Single Action Army ricochets. Shooting behind the enemy will cause the bullets to bounce back and hit him. When you equip the Single Action Army revolver, go into first person view and move the Right Analog-stick in circles to spin it.

# Snake's nightmare

When captured in the cell after Volgin's torture, save and quit (while inside the cell). Snake will go to sleep. When you load the game again, it will appear that you are in a colorless room with men attacking you with canes. After a while, Snake will wake up shocked. Note: If you do not quit after the save, you will not fall asleep remember Para-Medic's words "If you save the game and quit, you will fall asleep..."

# Watch intermission sequence through Snake's eyes

At specific points during some intermission sequences, the caption "R1" will appear for a moment at the upper right corner. Pressing this will allow you to see through Snake's eyes during that exact moment, giving you a unique perspective and occasionally allow you to see something hidden. Sometimes, but not always, you will even be able to move around your view with the Left Analog-stick (for example, at the beginning of Operation Snake Eater when you are in the jet, look up to see a hidden picture of a model). Note: Press X to skip the intermission sequence. Press Triangle to zoom in.

# See Ocelot in intermission sequence

During the final intermission sequence, just after Snake is given his medal, press R1 (it is not prompted) If you look to the left, you can see Ocelot for the last time outside of the window.

# Hidden intermission sequences

In Groznyj Grad after the torture scene, you will wake up in the prison. Get the fork and remove the bullet, but do not remove the transmitter. Then, continue the game. Later when you meet Eva behind the water fall, there will be a funny extra intermission sequence that takes place after Snake pushes her away from the kiss. The extra scene will only play if you still have the transmitter in you at this point.

After you have been captured and find yourself in the cell, do not break out admiralty. Hang around for awhile. You will see the guard "Johnny" get sick and run to the bathroom. Let this happen at least three times. After the third time an intermission sequence will begin, where Snake and Johnny talk, and he gives Snake his cigs with the knock out gas.

While facing The End, let him shoot you with as many tranquilizer darts as possible until you collapse.
