ALERT! Our revamped walkthrough for Snake Eater will prove most useful on your mission to destroy the Shagohod, once and for all.
Bolshaya Past South
Walk north and find the electrified fence. Switch on your thermal goggles to spot a hole in the bottom of the fence. Crawl through the hole. If necessary, you can also shoot the power box on the far left side of the fence to disable the charge so you can hunt for the hole without danger.
The area on the other side of the fence is mined. The best way to avoid the mines is with the thermal goggles. You could use the mine detector but it’s much easier to spot the mines using thermal vision. There’s another electrified fence beyond the mines. Crawl to the west along the fence until you find the hole. Squeeze underneath and hide behind the log as you scan for nearby guards. There are two in the area along the western and eastern sides of the section. The path splits along the far west and east sides of the map; both paths lead to the same area.
Avoid the guards or take them down with a suppressed weapon or a close-quarters move. Explore the eastern side of the map to find a narrow ledge. Traverse the edge carefully moving north to reach a hidden pick-up: the splitter uniform.
Remain on the eastern side of the map as you carefully move to the north and northwest. Toggle your thermal goggles on to spot several tree and ground traps scattered in the area. Spot the two guards near the electrified fence ahead. You can take them down from long-range if you’re a quick shot or create some noise to lure one to your position and take him down with a close- range shot or a combat move.
Use thermal vision to find the hole at the bottom of the fence and crawl through. Another guard patrols west and east just north of the fence. Sneak up behind him or shoot the guard with a suppressed weapon. Search a hollow tree stump along the western edge to find the choco chip uniform. There are two northern exits into the next area. Take the exit on the northeastern side of the map.
Bolshaya Past Base
You’re just on the outskirts of a hostile base. There are numerous guards inside the base; they are fairly spread out, however, which means you can take them down from long-range without worrying about a fellow guard spotting the deed.
When you enter from the eastern side, you’ll spot a guard patrolling just ahead of you along a west to east route toward a stationary turret. Wait for an opportunity to sneak up on the guard or take him down at long-range with a suppressed weapon. A second guard patrols in a circular pattern around the helicopter just to the northeast. Take cover near the turret and wait until the guard moves within range and eliminate him with a suppressed shot or wait until he passes and sneak up on him.
A third guard stands at his post in front of the entrance to the structure just west of the helicopter. Sneak carefully along the southern edge of the structure and eliminate the guard with a suppressed shot. Climb the ladder to the structure’s rooftop and grab the water uniform. You may also be able to eliminate the guard to the west with a suppressed shot from here. If not, descend and take him out from ground level. Search the trench and under the walkway for the snow face paint. Go inside the structure to find mk22 ammo and a mousetrap.
Move to the northern side of the structure and locate another guard standing post at a turret. His back is to you so sneak up on him and perform a close-quarters move to take him down. Enter the shack just to the south to find food storage; grab the rations from inside the structure. You can also crawl underneath and find a stun grenade. Search the trench just left of the turret gunner to find mk22 ammo.
There are two additional structures to the northeast. The first is the medical supply shack; grab the antidote, life med, digestive med, and bandage before exiting. The second structure is the armory. Beware of the guard patrolling out front. Avoid or eliminate him before searching the depot for M1911A1 ammo, an assortment of grenades, AK-47 ammo, and TNT. You can use the TNT to destroy the armory or food shack to weaken the forces in the area; destroying the armory limits their ammo supply while destroying their food makes him hungry and weak. Exit the area to the north after you have concluded your exploration.
Bolshaya Past Crevice
Ocelot greets you immediately upon entering the area. This is the first boss battle in the game.
I tried using the Yoshi guide on gamefaqs.com it was useful, but the Yoshis on the runway during the chase are hard to hit, as is the one at the end when you fight the boss. They are hard to see, let alone hit! I got all Yoshis yp to that point, and gave up, for me that kind of ruins the fun of the game.
I am tryng to get the "whale" rank and capture all 48 animals, but can only get 45-47, can anyone help?, I need to know what all the animals are and where to find them?
After playing This game for what seems like the 100th time i noticed there was a climbable tree in Svatagornja west that had a place at the top where you could stand or crouch on, but when i went and restarted the game it wasn't there anymore, if it was I couldn't find it, it seems that there are a few things that are like that, they are there and you notice them, but when you go back to see them later they arfe gone!
Does any one know what the best effective way to stamina kill volgin is?, I have tried the stun guns, there's not emough time and a combo of stun guns and stun grenades, and I only get him half way, then time runs out!
@PadamanI got it, but I still cant get the cold war camo, but oh well, the stealthcamo is far better than all !btw what did you use for the photo camo in granins office? and... where are the locations of that "legendary snake" the tsukinoko?
@JGlascock for tsukinoko granininy(sp?) gorki south at night. use mousetraps by the closest climbalbe tree to the entry. i'll send you the pic for the photo-camo tomorrow
Is the stealth camo unlockable on the 3ds version?, if so, how do you sneak past the scientists when leaving Granins office so they don't cause an alert to go, since the stealth camo is only unlockable with no alerts in the game.
2 more questions, about MGS 3d, how do you get the crocodile cap?, and has the GA-KO uniform been switched for the fruit uniform for 3ds, I could not find the GA-KO unifoem in the northeastern end of the swamp, only the fruit uniform. one last question, what are all the obtainable uniforms and face paints and weapons?
On MGs what is the radio frequency to find TheEnds location on the map/, also what is the set of numbers displayed by the floating figure in the cut scene right before you fight Volgin? (MGS for 3ds).
1 Like @JGlascock Little Late, But It Is Not A Codec Frequency, It Is The Konami code, Up Up Down down Left Right Left Right B A. And That Is the Sorrow With A Timer for the C3.
@Padaman @JGlascock do you have to put it on pause, a different screen or what, because if the game isnt paused, it just makes snake move up and down, switch his weapons, and items, and thats it, but I do have a tutorial on YouTube on how to find The End (JGlascock100 on youTube).
@JGlascock I Havent Exactly Tried It My Self, A Friend Of Mine Said It Worked And He Is Usually A Reliable Source Of Information. Have You Tried It?
@Padaman @JGlascock will this work on the 3ds?, if so I will try it, next run through, right now I have killed him early and heading to the Grannin lab on a Yoshi search run.
