Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Walkthrough

The abandoned factory is just to the north. The opening cut scene reveals some tight security with several sentries posted around the perimeter. There are two patrols to the factory’s south perimeter, one in the eastern corner, and three more hostiles patrolling throughout the factory. You must move carefully and avoid triggering an alert or you’ll have to deal with all interior and exterior guards at the same time.

Advance to the north until you reach the brick wall on the right side. Crawl through the brush ahead and spot the patrol along the path to your left. Look down the path toward the east and you will likely be able to spot the second guard. Make your move on the western guard while the eastern guard moves away. Shoot him in the head with a suppressed mk22 or sneak up behind him and perform a close-quarters combat move. Drag him away from the factory and toward the south as you check his body for items. Watch for the eastern patrol to move along the path toward the western side and use your mk22 or wait until he turns around and sneak up for a close-quarters move.

Crawl to the southern edge of the factory and watch for the patrols inside. One guard patrols the southwestern corner of the factory while two others move through the rooms to the north and northeast. Hide behind the crates and watch for the western guard’s patrol and take him out with the suppressed mk22. One last guard remains outside the factory along the eastern edge. Take him out now or wait until you move over there to eliminate him.

Reaching the rooftop is an alternate method of eliminating the guards inside the factory. After taking out the first two patrols, sneak to the far eastern side of the factory’s exterior. Eliminate the other patrol here then climb the ladder onto the roof. Navigate the roof carefully toward the west and spot the patrols below. Shoot each patrolling guard with the mk22.

Search near the crates in the southwestern corner of the abandoned factory for the M37 shotgun. Ascend the stairs and find XM16E1 ammo and a XM16E1 suppressor. Go into the storage room to the east of the stairs and locate a life med in the back corner. You can also crawl underneath the factory to find a mousetrap underneath (may also find some food to kill). After searching the area, proceed into the adjacent room to the east and enter the northern door to find Sokolov.

Watch the extended cut scene and leave the unconscious Ocelot alone (though you can search the bodies). Exit Rassvet and return south into Dolinovodno. After the extended cut scene, a wounded Snake must mend his wounds before continuing onward. Open up the survival window then the cure section. Mend the broken bones with splints and bandages; mend the cuts with disinfectant, styptic, suture kit, and bandages.

You’re dropped into Dremuchij for a second time with new orders. Rescue Sokolov, find out what’s happened to the Shagohod and destroy it and finally eliminate The Boss. Press the R button during the opening cut scene for Snake’s view during the drop.

There are no enemies in this area but there is food. Hunt around the area for snakes, frogs, and fruit in the trees to add to your reserves. There are also plants that convert into medical items. Find them along the area’s edge. Use your thermal goggles recovered previously and you can find the plants easier. Check your camo to maximize stealth. Black face paint and tiger stripe uniform should be ideal. Continue through the northern path to find the area’s exit.

Traverse the forest path until you encounter the cliff edge going west. Drop off to the ground below. If you need additional food, take the time to hunt snakes (including one in a tree as you continue west) before reaching the intersection toward the western edge. A cut scene interrupts the action when you reach the intersection and the crashed drone.

Your eventual goal lies to the north--back to the abandoned factory. However, if you want to take a brief side trip to gather some items, proceed south from the intersection. Move carefully, though. The ruckus at the crash site has gained the attention from a small patrol. Sneak carefully to the south if you take the side trip; the southern route leads into the Dremuchij Swampland.

Navigate the swamp and avoid the crocodiles. Continue across the swampland and into the southern passage to reach the next area.

This is your original landing site in the Virtuous Mission. It’s worth the side trip here, especially if you’re low on food. Hunt snakes, rabbits, and even a goat to add to your food storage. Snip medicinal plants to add splints and other cure items to your inventory. Also find an assortment of grenades from the west and eastern sides of the southern section. After exploring the area, return to the north and move through the swampland. Continue toward the intersection in Dremuchij North at the crash site.

Two guards patrol the western edge of the map near the intersection and crash site. Approach the area carefully by taking cover or remaining in a prone position. When the guards move away from each other, sneak up behind and attack with a close-quarters move or use a stun grenade if necessary. Careful camouflage will allow you to sneak by undetected. Continue north into the next area.
