MetalGear Solid

4 is

a

complrcated.

feature-packed adventure,

so

we've

gone

to

great

lengths to

design the

sophisticated

walkthrough

itso richly deserves.

We understand

that

you

d

rather dive

into the action

than

read

what we

have

to say

here, but lrust us:

less

than five minutes of

your

time

will

help

you

to

get

the

mostout

of both

this chapter and

the

game

itself

ln

the

(very

Iikely)

event

thatwe

have

a tenuous

grip

on

your

attention,

we'll

begin

with the

most

essential

facts.

Metal Gear Solid

4

is

divided

rnto five

'Acts',

and

so

is this chapter.

We include a

large

overview

map at

the start of

each

Act, with the box outlines

detailing the sections

that

are

covered on

the

oaces

that follow.

ln

the

walkthrough

left-hand

pages

feature magnified, annotated

map

portions

accompanied

by screenshots

and

extended captions.

We know that

many

players

will want to complete

their

first

MGS4

playthrough

without too

much assistance

and these

left-hand

pages

offer

spoiler-

free explanations

tips and

general guidance

-

The map

portions

feature, among

other things, the

locations

of all collectibles

in each

zone

However

-

and

this is very

important

to

know

-

MGS4 occasionally

adjusts

the types of

ammunition.

items and

weapons

found in each

location in accordance

with

the equtpment

you

have

in

your

inventory, and

your

chosen difficulty

level. You'llalmostcertatnly

encounter

slight

variations as

you

play.

Right-hand

pages

feature

detailed

walkthroughs written

for

the

Big

Boss Hard

diff

iculty level

but

the

advice

offered

is

also applicable

to

the

Liquid Easy

Naked Normal

and

(default)

Solid

Normal

settrngs

-

you'll

just

encounter

fewer

potential

enemies,

and

certain challenges

may be

less

demanding

than

we suggest

lt's actually

impossible to unlock

all

secret

features

in MGS4 during

your

initial run

(see

"First

Playthrough"),

but the tactics and

strategies

we

offer are

high-level

techniques designed

to

help

you

achieve

"perfect"

completion

on

a subsequent attempt

That's

notto

say

that

you

can'tunlock some

cool bonuses

0n

your

first sitting

though. .

There are occasional

exceptions

to the

walkthrough

formatdetailed above

but these

are very

easy

to

lollow.

FIRST

PLAYTHROUGH

0n

your

lnitial run through

MetalGear

Solid 4, we strongly

recommend

that

you

just

concentrate

on

having fun.

Enjoy

the story,

use any weapons or

tactrcs that seem

appropriate,

and feel

free

to

make

as much

norse as

you

like

when the urge

becomes too

great

to

resist.

When

you've

completed

MGS4

once,

y0u

can then try

for

a

"perfect"

playthrough. (lf

you're

curious,

the

requirements for this

are

no

Alert

Phases, no continues,

no kills, no

health

items, no

'special"

items and a

play

time of

less than

five hours

-

and all on a difficulty

level

you

can't

actually

access

yet.

Suffice

to

say,

it's

not

something

you're going

to achieve

straight

away.)

We

generally

favor

a

pacifist

style of

play

with

an

0nus 0n

pure

stealth

in our

main

walkthrough,

because

this approach

leads

tn

thp hpqt nnqt-nrmp

feWafdS

HOWeVef

without

revealing any spotlers,

we should

let

you

know that

the

requirements for certain

unlockable

features

are extremely strtngent:

think

in terms of

"zero

kills" and

"no

Alert

Phases". Attempting

to achieve

either

goal

on a

first

playthrough

is nol

a

good

idea

because

you'll

need

to

repeat both feats

(and

much more besides)

to win the best

post-

game

rewards

and

accolades

at

a

later

date

Engaging the Gekko

is

a fruitless

endeavor

-

you

don't

have the

hardware

to

destroy

them

at this

early stage, and

there's

no specific

reward

for even

attempting

to.

Instead, avoid

them

by

weaving

your

way

through

the buildings

and

back streets.

The

objective

is

to

reach

the

exit

pictured

above.

Simply

run

through

it

to

initiate

the

next cutscene.

Just

in

case

you

miss

don't

you

need

to

announces

the arrival of the

Stryker and additional

being executed

in

cold

blood by a

PMC soldier.

You should

moving

away

from

on

road outside,

towards another

Stryker.

lf so,

wait for

them to

HOW TO

PLAY

Head south along the

nearest stretch of

pavement

on the main

street,

keeping low to avoid the

PMC soldier

in

the distance,

then take the first

right.

You're

safe to stand up

for the time being

once

you

enter this side street,

and

through the

market area

beyond

it-

even

if

you're

not

allied

with the militia army,

the

soldiers

here won't react negatively to

your

presence.

iKr

|

- - |

Crawl carefully out of the market

area

-

there

are

at

least

two

snipers

operating directly ahead

(one

in

the

top window, the other

to the rightof him).

with

other

PMC troops supporting

them below.

Rather than attempt to

sneak

through this flashpoint, take the alleyway

to the

left. Stand up as

soon

as

you

pass

out of

view,

then squeeze

through the

gap

between

the

buildings on

the

right

-

use

@

to

press

Snake

up

againstthe

wall. Don't

forget

to

turn

around

and

pick

up

the

Laser

Sight

on

the other

side

(it's

a

valuable custom

part).

Follow

the

path

until

you

reach the

next

alley,

then turn right.

Get into a crouching

position,

then inch

carefully

to the

right

again

-

there's a Stryker

to

your

left.

surrounded

by PMC soldiers

Cross

the small

streetand

enter the

next narrow

alleyway

-

it's

just

slightly

to the north,

0n

y0ur

left

as

you

approach

it.

As

you

emerge

onto the

main

road, note the

tall

building

tn

the

distance;

there are snipers operating

from two drfferent

floors.

Militia

soldiers occupy

the

leit-hand

side

of the street;

PMC troops return

fire from the right With

due

caution, crawlto the opposite

pavement,

then

through the smallgap

underneath

the

building ahead.

When

you

exit,

move

back

onto

the

pavement.

You're

now

sufficiently close to disable the

nearest marksman

in the building

ahead

wtth

a

silenced

weapon,

but

it's not

strictly

necessary to do so.

Move forward

untilyou

reach

the boxes,

then

around

to the

left,

but

pause

for a

moment

-

often,

the

car

ahead

will

explode

as it is

hit

by stray bullets.

Wait for the flames

to die down

should that

happen, then follow the

pavement

to the

end.

From here,

it's a short

(but

dangerous)

crawl

through

the bomb crater

to

reach

the

next

area.

There

are

PMC

forces to the right, and militia to the

left,

butthere's

no reason why

either

should

notice

you

if

you

re careful. When

you

reach

the

other

side, approach the blue door

(a

zone transition

message will

pop

up

when

you

are

close). Check

behind

you

to ensure

that the coast is

clear,

then

quickly

switch to a crouching

position

and

head through

the

door.

Stealth

isn't an issue

in Advent

Palace, so don't

worry

about

h

much

noise

you

create.

However, there are

several traps

positioned

throughout

the buildlng,

and some are

pretty

cunningly

placed.

As

primed

explosives

aren t

highlighted by

the

Solid

Eye,

you

should be especially

vigilant. You may

even

prefer

to activate

Night Vision

mode, which

makes

the devices

clearly visible.

You

can safely collect

primed

explosives

of allvarieties

by either defusing them

with

Metal

Gear

Mk. ll,

or

by crawling

over them.

Any

traps

dealt with

in

this

manner are

automatically added

to

Snake's

inventory.

(Note

that

the

infrared

beam

trap

located

in

one corridor

cannot

be

disarmed;disregard

this completely

for

now

)

Your

objective

point

is

on

4F and, though some

routes are blocked, it's really

not

hard

to

get

there

-

use the staircase

at

the

north-east end of the building to

reach

3F, then

head

for the stairs

in the south-east

corner to

reach

4F.

0nce

you

arrive

head into the bar and collect

everything

you

want; to trigger the next cutscene,

enter

the corridor

beyond. 0h, and

ready

a few

suitable

weapons

beforehand...

r--------t

,l\,

itJ I

I

-

I The Haven Troopers

launch

their

assault

immediately

after

the

conclusion of the cutscene.

As

with

all

human assailants,

headshots work

best;

players

aiming

for

a

no-kill

playthrough

should

be

pleased

to

learn

that

the

Mk. 2's

anesthetic

darts

work

perfectly

well against

them From behind

the

bar counter

(or,

if

you

prefer,

a

prone position

to the side of

it)

aim

for headshots

until

you

defeat

the initial

attack wave. Follow

Rat

Patrol

downstairs

when the coast is clear.

H

Prepare for another batch

of assailants

to attack

from

the opposite

balcony

when

you

reach

3F.

When

Rat Patrol

move

into the diner area,

be

careful

not

to

get

left

behind

Your

party

will now

be

attacked

from both sides

-

from

the

area

you

just

left, and

the

kitchen

area ahead.

To best

protect

your

companions,

it

s

sensible

to first

neutralize the

Haven

Troopers

attacking

from the

rear,

then

follow

your

associates

through the

restaurant area.

lf

you

stay

low, only

popping

up to f

ire

when

you

have

a clear shot,

you'll

find

that

Meryl

and

her

squad do a

pretty

good

job

of clearing

the

way

forward

(or

at

least,

drawtng

attention

away from

you).

Your

assailants will usually stay

withrn

the kitchen area, but

it's

prudent

to watch

the

Solid

Eye radar

-

you

may

be

attacked from

a different

doorway.

ts

your

cue to

When

Johnny

rs

knocked out, approach

him

in

the crouch-walk

pose

and

press

4

to wake

him.

This

part

of

the

f ight

can be

nasty on the Big Boss diff

iculty

setting;within such

close confines, and

with

Haven Troopers

approaching

from

the

newly formed hole

in

the

walland the

route

behtnd

you

it's

hard

to

know

which direction

to

defend.

The trick,

we found, is to concentrate on

one

area in

particular.

However, note that

Haven Troopers

will

jump

from

the

elevator shaft

if

you

defend the

rear,

which can

be

an unpleasant shock

if

you

don't expect

it.

Check the immediate

area for

survivors

then

follow

Rat

Patrolthrough

the hole in the toilet wall.0nce

Johnny disables

the infrared

beams,

roll

over

the

gap

rn

the

floor to reach a secret cache

of

items,

including

for the AK102.

When

to the

can

crawl through,

trust us

-

it takes

an absolute

epoch

to explore

it in

this

fashion. lnstead,

use

Metal Gear

Mk.ll to zip through

and

pick

up

the

collectibles

inside,

including the useful

PSS

silenced

pistol.

You

can

actually

crawl

through the

air duct

to ambush

the

Haven Troopers

on 3F during

the

battle to escape,

though

this

is

something

that only

experienced

players

should attempt.

Ed and

Jonathan

are named

after

the two

principle

protagonists

in

Policenauts

-

a

1994 Hideo

adventure

that,

lamentably,

was

never

given

an

official

release

outside

Japan.

The names Meryl

F0XH0UND were

also first used

in

that

game,

and

miscellaneous

references to

it

abound

throughout

There are

two

exits

to

this

area, 0ne

of these,

a

ladder

(pictured

here) leading

to

a

balcony,

is

available

at

any

time

(though

guarded).

To

destroy

the barricade and

open the

second

route,

you'll

need

t0

escort the

tank safely along

the street.

Though

disabling

PMC

troops

the street

assists

the militia

forces,

you

should

be

watchful for

soldiers appearing

in

nearby buildings

with tank-busting

weaponry.

Crescent

Meridian

is

a small

area,

and the site

of

a

ferocious

battle. Wtth

both

factions firing from

cover

0n opposite

sides of the

street, there

seems to

be

little chance of slipping through

unnoticed,

but

that's

n0t

actually

the case.

(for

which,

read:

crawl)

along the

right-hand

side

of the street,

0nce

the tank stops,

towards the

end of the street, consider

yourself

absolved

of

responsibility

-there's

actually

nothing

you

can

do

to

save

it, so

move

clear

and c0ncentrate

on

picking

off

the

remaining

PMC

soldiers

from cover.

When the

victory cry

rings

out,

explore

the

area for

objects

if

you

wish,

then

make

y0ur

way

forward

to

the

next zone.

From

after

the first cutscene

ends,

the

on the

Turn

there.

The

situation

is

very

simple:

PMC soldiers

are stationed

on

the leftside of

street,

with

militia forces

mountrng their assault

from the

right.

Your task

is to

creep alongside

the

militia. sticking as

close

to the buildings on that

side

as

possible.

This

can sometimes

be

a little awkward

as

you

ll

discover when

you

reach the dumpster

positioned

just

off the

pavementahead.

Militia

soldlers

will

usually take cover

behind

it. which

means that

you

need to

go

around

the

front

of the container

instead. This

might seem

like

a

risk. but

rest

assured

-

the

PMC

soldiers

have

more

pressing

c0ncerns

to attend

to.

For

the

restof this

journey.

you

simply

need

to dodge

the

trampling feet

of

militia

soldiers until

you

reach

a

burned-out

car

just

before the

road

block

at the end of

the

From

the car

you

need to make

a daring

crawl

across the street

in broad daylight

towards a

on

the opposite

side.

Be very

careful

when

you

reach the

pavement

-

don't create

unnecessary noise.

as

the

two

PMC

soldiers to your left

will

react

angrily and immediately

if

disturbed

When
