METAL GEAR SOLID  

INVISIBLE

Complete the entire game and you will receive the following;
A total time
Number of kills
Total of rations used
Number of saves used
A secret codename (mine was ELEPHANT) I cannot tell you what this
is for because it's a secret.

You also begin a new game on disc one with a new power.



TORTURE

If you don't choose to submit while you are being tortured Meryl will 
live at the end of the game and you will get a bandana. Equip the bandana 
in a new game and you will have unlimited ammunition for any weapon.
If you do submit, Meryl will die and you will get the stealth instead.



EXTRA MINES
Here's a way to have unlimited mines. 
Make sure you have at least one claymore mine and the Bandana. 
Then with the bandana equiped lay 8 mines in the same area 
( Just keep pressing SQUARE until you can't anymore) 
then bend down and crawl over the mines you just laid and 
you will get 8 mines added to your inventory!




ESCAPE

Here is another way to help Snake escape from prison. When the guard
gets sick and runs to the bathroom to hack it up then wait for Octacon
to give you the 6th level key and the ketchup, then hide under the bed
and when the guard opens the door to try to find you wait till he goes
next to the bed and climb out, then kill him and walk right out.




HELP GUIDE



When your in the snow and you don't have a mine detector you can use 
your thermol goggles to see the positon of the mines.
You can also use the goggles for detecting laser beams when in the 
north corriodor.



TANK
When fighting the tank the best way to kill it is by throwing chaff 
bombs and running round the tank this will confuse the electronics. By 
actually killing it you have to point in the direction of the tank and 
throw grenades.

BOXES
I have never done this before but I heard from my mate that if you 
climb into a truck and change into a box that doesn't belong in that 
area the soldiers will drive you to that area

PSYCHO MANTIS
To stop him reading your mind plug your contoller ino plug 2

WOLVES
After escaping the prison you have to go through the cave again but this 
time you should have Sniper Wolf's handkerchief. Equip that and the 
wolves won't attack you.

TOWER A
After running up the tower you should get chased by dozens of soldiers. 
The only way I know to stop them is to throw a grenade at the wall on 
every corner. This will stop the bottom dudes but it won't stop the top.

SNIPER WOLF
On your second fight with Sniper Wolf run to the far right behind the 
hill. Equip yourself with thermal goggles and a Nikita. Wait till she 
fires her first few shots. You should see a a red sniper lazer. Fire a 
nikita missile and follow the line you should see her hiding behind a 
tree but watch out she always moves to another tree and don't hit a 
hill.  

FURNACE
To get off the top floor you go all the way to the right and you should 
see a ledge. Hug the wall and walk along the ledge. There's a crane that 
knocks you off so just press the X button and wait till the crane passes 
your head. 

REX
Throw chaff bombs around Rex at the start then quickly shoot stinger 
missiles at the dome shape thing on the right. After finshing that you 
should see a clip. Now don't bother using Chaff and just dodge the lazer 
and machine gun by running under Rex's legs quickly turn around and 
shoot at the cockpit with stinger missiles.



When you've been detected, your radar gets jammed,
right?  Well, look at the time and it'll tell you if a guard
is near or not.  Normally, it counts down to zero and goes
to EVASION mode.  When you see that it resets back to 9.99,
you'll know that a guard has spotted you.  

What I do was just hold the square button to aim my
SOCOM (autoaim enabled from options :) and fire a couple of
rounds. Even if I don't see the guard on screen I get to hit
him.  Ofcourse, you have to look at the rigth direction. :)



1. After you have been captured and the shock 
treatment is over. Call Otocan on your Codec
Afeter you finish talking to Otocan, watch the 
guard he will run to the bathroom. Immediately 
Octacon will come to your aid. He will give you 
a hankerchief and a bottle of ketchup. As  soon 
as Otocan leaves QUICKLY lie down on the 
ground use the  ketchup.(YOU MUST LIE COMPLETELY 
STILL FOR THIS TO WORK). The guard will unlock the
cell to see if you are dead.As soon as he comes near 
you break his neck

2.After you beat Pyshic Mantis You will encounter wolves. 
After you have  have caught up with Meryl  walk up to her 
(Make sure that you have a box equipped) punch her and  
immediatly the wolves try to attack. If you put the box
(IMMEDIATELY) on after you hit her, the wolf puppy will 
come to the box and take a little sniff of the box and 
empty his little bladder.You will now have a free pass to by 
the wolves without being attacked any more.



        -CHANGE OF CLOTHES-
You must beat the game twice, once with submitting to the torture, and once
without submitting to the torture. Every time you save, save on the same
file slot and when you go back to play through your third time, on your way
up the cargo elevator when Snake takes off his thermal suit he'll be waring
a tuxedo!
(you should also have; stealth suit,and the bandana! And when you meet the
Ninja he'll be red in color!)


        -NICE WOLFS-
To get the wolfs to leave you alone, try this; After getting through and
killing them all the first time, you'll meet up with Meryl. Kill the big
wolf(but not the little one) and immediately turn and shoot Meryl once with
the socom pistol, then equip one your c.box A and the small wolf will pee
on it! Now every time you pass through the wolfs with C.Box A equiped,
they'll leave you alone.
