  4. Codec Craziness

    While watching any Codec conversation, move the left & right analog sticks and the character's faces will move. Press on one of the sticks, and the faces will zoom in close. Press the R1 or R2 button while Snake or Raiden is listening to someone, and you can hear their thoughts! Some of the guys' secret attitudes toward the other characters are quite funny!

  6. Pants-less Marines

    Enter Hold 1 or 2 on the ship (right after the first boss fight...the Hold rooms are where the Marines are listening to the Commander give his speech). Once inside of either one of the first 2 Hold rooms, creep past the Marines, and look back at them from the north end of the room, so you can see their faces. In each Hold room (or at least one of them), you should spot a few Marines without any pants on (don't worry, they still have some white boxer shorts, though).

    Not really a trick, but a cool Easter Egg nonetheless. =)

  7. Happy Birthday!

    At the first node you log into in the Plant Episode, you're given a chance to input your name, birthday, bloodtype and nationality. If your birthday matches with the same date thats set in your PS2 (most likely you set it to the correct day) you'll be greeted by a Happy Birthday logo with a matching Birthday cake.

  12. Revenge of the Seagulls

  15. Konami Code Solid

  17. Game Posters

    In the Shell 1 core, go to B2. In the main computer area, there are posters of previous Hideo Kojima games. The most prominent one is the Policenauts poster in the center. However, there are two more hidden posters. Go to where the node is in the corner, then look at the wall next to it in first person mode. You'll find posters for Zone of the Enders and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.

    If you don't have the mine dector, but would like to cross a minefield with receiving damage, just go over to the area where you believe mines are and crawl over the area. Not only will you be unharmed, but you'll also obtain any claymore mines that you crawl over!

  21. The Shaver

    If you get the shaver at the beginning of the plant chapter (by jumping over the rail and going into the enclosed area with the space suit within) you will give it to pliskin when you first meet him. Doing this will have Snake clean shaven at the end of the game. This is vice versa as well if you want a "rugged" Snake do not pick up the shaver!

  22. Computer Room Cameo

    While in the Computer Room, look at the walls in First Person mode. You'll see the photo of Charlie's Angels that happened to appear on the cover of FHM magazine.

  23. Halt timer in tanker mission

    During the tanker mission, while the timer is running, you can temporarily stop it by knocking out one of the two guards running the cameras on the platforms in Hold No. 3.

  26. Taking Vamp's best attack away from him

    When Vamp's health gets low, he begins to periodically unleash a shadow attack that will prevent you from being able to move; however, if you shoot out the four lights in the room, Vamp will be unable to use the attack.

    Contributed by: UltimaterializerX 

  27. Dazing a guard

    When a guard spots you, either an '!' or '?' will appear above his head, depending on the distance between you and him. If you shoot this before it dissappears (It's really tricky), the the guard will become dazed for a while and some white bubbles float around his head, giving you a chance to run.

    Contributed by: Majestic_Arts 

  28. Faster pull-ups

    You can do pull-ups a lot faster by doing a drop catch. A drop catch is when you are hanging from a ledge, and then drop down, catching the ledge below. A drop catch is a total of 10 pull-ups!

    Contributed by: No_1_LP_Fan 

  29. Control the title screen background.

    All you have to do is move the right analog stick and the background will move in the direction that the analog stick was moved. It also will change the color of the background. It is useless but it is fun.

  30. Shaver

    In the room with the unconscious guards in the beginning of the Shell infiltration, go to the rear of the room (bottom of your POV), and hang on a ledge. Move to the right and climb back up to obtain the shaver. Later, in the cinematic with Pliskin, Raiden will give him a shaver. It changes his facial hair for later cutscenes.

  31. Mei Ling Tanker Cameo

    At the start of the Tanker Chapter, Otacon will explain that Mei Ling is gone, and he's replacing her as the game save recorder. He'll even start quoting Chinese proverbs like her, but messing up their meanings. If you save at least a dozen times, Mei Ling will interrupt Otacon mid-explanation and yell at him for messing up the proverbs.

  32. Getting Caught By Ocelot

    Immediately after you talk to Ames, you're supposed reequip the AK before Ocelot can get close enough to you. You're given more than enough time to do this. But if you intentionally don't do it and try something else, Ocelot will have unique reactions before triggering a Game Over. If you let the timer run out, he'll demand to know what happened to your weapon. If you try walking away, he'll ask where you're going. If you take off your disguise and let Ocelot get close enough, he'll demand to know what your name is. Lastly, if you point a gun at Ocelot, he'll stop walking and exclaim, "What the Hell?!"

  33. Jennifer Codecs

    When you go into the hostage room, look for a female hostage named Jennifer. If you tranquilize or interact with her in different ways, her legs will change positions so you can see up her skirt while in first person mode. If you do this, try calling the Colonel. Both he and Rose will be very upset with you. If you use the digital camera to take a picture of Jennifer while in that state and call Rose, she'll be absolutely furious with you. The Colonel will even give you a stern lecture, but quietly advise you not to throw away the photo.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  34. Hurting Hostages

    Go to the hostage room and start punching and kicking hostages without letting yourself be noticed by the guards. If you do this enough times, it'll trigger a unique Codec in which the Colonel and Rose will yell at you for abusing defenseless hostages.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  35. Door To Arsenal Gear

    When you first get to the Computer Room in the Shell 1 Core, stand where Emma's parrot is. If you look through the window in front of you, you can see out into the hallway, specifically a locked door on the outer wall. Go to that door and enter first person mode. If you look closely, you'll see a symbol for Arsenal Gear, along with the warning, "Keep Out. Authorized Personnel Only." Try calling the Colonel, and it'll trigger a unique Codec in which he claims not to know anything. Rose will also state that they have no information on it. The Colonel will explain that they have no way to open the door, and that you should just continue the mission. This is foreshadowing a later twist, as it's the same spot where you'll return later to access Arsenal Gear.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  36. Electrified Cardboard Box

    When you reach the electrified floor section of the game, equip a cardboard box and walk on it. This will trigger a unique animation in which the cardboard box burns up as Raiden falls backwards.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  37. Hitting Vamp Where It Hurts

    During the boss fight against Vamp, try to carefully aim for the bullet wounds on his head and torso. These are where he was hit in your previous encounter with him. If you shoot these spots precisely, it'll deal far more damage than a regular attack.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  38. Stillman's Body Codec

    When you reach Stillman's body in the flooded area, don't go into the next room after the cutscene. Instead, stop and adjust the camera so you can look at the body. When you do that, try calling Snake. It'll trigger a unique Codec in which Raiden comments that Stillman was waiting for him.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  39. See Emma Early

    After the Vamp fight, go into the next flooded section. When you reach an air pocket, enter first person view and look around. One of the air pockets has a window that lets you look directly into the locker room where Emma is located, and shows Emma sitting on the floor. This will also trigger a unique Codec in which Raiden reports that he's found Emma. If you stare at Emma for several seconds, Rose will eventually call you and act jealous.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  40. Emma And Pentazemin

    If you're having trouble with the section where you swim with Emma, try taking some Pentazemin. Not only does this slow down Raiden's heartbeat, but it also slows down he depletion of Emma's O2 Gauge. This is because Raiden advised Emma to focus on his heartbeat before they dived.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  41. Emma's Codec Reactions

    When you're escorting Emma, try interacting with her in various ways, and then immediately call her via Codec. If you put her in a chokehold, she'll gasp for air. If you keep hitting her, she'll get angrier every time you talk to her. Otacon will be angry as well. If you knock her unconscious, the Colonel will advise you to drag her around just like an enemy's body, and Rose will ask what's up with you. Try knocking Emma down, crawl on top of her body, and then call her. Emma will be absolutely furious with you, and will get angrier each time you do it. If you tranquilize her, she'll say a few lines in her sleep, including calling to Hal. If you kill her, it will trigger a Game Over, with the other characters yelling at you.

  42. Sea Lice Explosions

    Normally, you're supposed to get rid of sea lice by spraying them. However, you can also use explosives, such as grenades, stinger missiles, C4, etc. If you blow them up while in first person mode, their bodies will splatter all over the screen.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  43. Sleep Talking Snake

    Whenever Snake is asleep, keep calling him repeatedly on the Codec. Eventually, Raiden will get frustrated, and Snake will start talking in his sleep. He'll mumble Meryl's name, and briefly wake up and yell, "LIQUID!" before falling asleep again.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  44. Restroom Codecs

    When you get to the restrooms in Strut C, don't call Stillman yet. Instead, go into the men's restroom, walk to a urinal, enter first person view, and call the Colonel. This will trigger an awkward codec call with him and Rose. Next, go to the women's restroom. If you call the Colonel while in one of the stalls, they'll be annoyed. If you call them while standing outside of the stalls, they'll react with confusion and disgust. If you call Plisken in there after talking to Stillman, he'll encourage you to keep going. If you keep contacting Rose repeatedly while in there, she may say she'll refuse to save your data. If you call the Colonel with a book equipped inside one of the women's stalls, both he and Rose will yell at Raiden.

    This actually leads to another Easter Egg much later in the game. If you do all of these hidden codecs, it'll trigger a secret codec that only randomly appears during the Arsenal Tengu section. The Colonel will say that he can't believe, "that someone who has committed all those twisted acts in the woman's bathroom would make it this far... this is the end of the world."

  45. Terrorizing The President

    When you find President Johnson's location, go into the lobby or hallway that adjoin the room he's in. If you knock on the wall, he'll ask who's there. If you knock several times, he'll get annoyed. If you blow up some C4 on the wall, he'll yell at you to stop.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  46. Easy Solidus Chokehold

    When Raiden is being choked by Solidus before the final battle, turn his head to look to the left and stare at Snake. Raiden's O2 gauge will deplete more slowly.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  47. Seagull's Revenge

    Whenever you're in an area with seagulls flying overhead, enter first person mode and watch them fly. If you do this long enough, one of the seagulls will defecate on the camera.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  48. First Person Mode Battle Effects

    When fighting in first person mode, make sure to get up close to an enemy before killing them. When they die, the blood spatter will actually cover the camera. If you get shot to death while in first person mode, the camera lens may get cracked.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  49. Snake's Cardboard Box

    After you meet Stillman, immediately go to the CD Connecting Bridge. Snake can be seen using his iconic Cardboard Box to sneak towards Strut D. If you shoot him, he'll make a run for hit while still being covered by the box. This will also trigger a funny codec you call Snake immediately afterward. If you call him after shooting his box and then equipping your own, Snake will have some additional comments. You can also contact the Colonel and Rose for a couple of extra codecs.

  50. Ocelot In The Tanker

    When you finally reach Metal Gear RAY in the Tanker, use the crawlspaces under the floor to make your way underneath RAY, and then crawl to the right wall. You'll find another crawlspace that leads to a ladder and platform overlooking RAY. When you get up there, look down carefully at the platform RAY is standing on. You'll see Ocelot standing near one of RAY's limbs. His face will be partially obscured, but his coat and cowboy boots are instantly recognizable. If you take a picture of Ocelot and send it to Otacon, the latter will be creeped out and worried that he'll get possessed.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  51. Make Otacon Laugh

    Once you've beaten the Tanker once and play through it a second time, all the Marines in the hold will be wearing only their underwear. Take a picture of one and send it to Otacon, and he'll laugh hysterically.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  52. Hideo Kojima's Ghost

    When you get to the holds section of the Tanker, take a picture of the projector screen on the right. Hideo Kojima's face will appear over the image. When you send this to Otacon, he'll be creeped out and worried about getting possessed.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  53. Otacon's Extra Photo Reactions

    In the Tanker section of the game, you're tasked with taking photos of Metal Gear RAY and sending them to Otacon. However, there are several additional photos you can take that will trigger extra reactions from him. If you take photos of any of the female posters or Olga's intimate areas, he'll blush and say he'll make a backup of them. If you take photos of the male poster or the Vulcan Raven toy, he'll comment on Snake's sexuality. If you take a photo of the posters near the infrared sensors, he'll laugh and say he'll make a backup.

    This works for a few of the major characters as well. If you take a regular photo of Olga, he'll say how weird it is that you did that just after fighting her. If you keep the photo of Sergei Gurlukovich on the memory card, he'll be surprised he's involved. You can also take up to three photos of Scott Dolph; Otacon he'll get increasingly annoyed each time, and will flat-out tell you to stop sending them after the third one.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  54. Pentazemin Placebo

    In the Tanker Chapter, find the Pentazemin and call Otacon. He'll explain what it does, and claim that it also cures seasickness. Take the Pentazemin and call him back, and Otacon will mention the placebo effect, and mock Snake for being naive. This triggers a hidden codec in the Plant Chapter. When you acquire the Pentazemin as Raiden, call Snake. He'll give the same overview that Otacon did, but will go out of his way to mention that it doesn't cure seasickness, and say, "sometimes faith can overcome medical science," much to Raiden's confusion.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  55. Gurlukovich Soldiers In The Holds

    When you reach the holds section of the Tanker, go to the second area and deliberately wait until the timer reaches 2:30 minutes. If you look closely at the projector screens, you can actually see the Gurlukovich Soldiers getting into attack positions in the background before the cutscene starts.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  56. Parrot Interactions

    There's more you can do with Emma's parrot aside from trying to shoot it. If you spray it with the Coolant, it'll say, "This sucks!" If you use the Directional Microphone on it several times, it'll eventually start mimicking Raiden's, "You must be Ames" line.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  57. Browsing Guard

    When you're in the Computer Room in the Shell 1 Core, keep a close eye on the guards. One of them will go back and forth between computer terminals. If you look use first person view to look at the screens while he's there, you'll find that he's looking at pictures of women.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  58. Extra Books

    As you get off the elevator and approach the Computer Room in the Shell 1 Core, stay in disguise and have a look through the window near Emma's parrot. You'll see two guards talking and gesturing about something funny, but won't hear them. Go into the Computer Room and listen to Emma's parrot; it'll have listened to the conversation and say, "Top of locker." Exit the Computer Room and go to the row of lockers on the southwest wall. There will be an unreachable book on top of the last locker. If you punch the locker enough times, several books will fall down and can be added to your inventory.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  59. Snake's Oil Fence Interactions

    During the Strut L Oil Fence section, take the time to interact with Snake in different ways. If you shoot him with the regular sniper rifle, he'll get angry and shoot Raiden. If you shoot him with a the tranq sniper rifle, he'll fall asleep, and you can call him via Codec for the sleep talking easter egg. If you point the Directional Microphone at Snake, he'll eventually start commenting on Emma's looks, and muses if he needs to ask for Otacon's permission before asking her out.

  60. Tokugawa Products

    When you're in the Parcel Room in Strut E, enter first person mode and look closely at the boxes on the northern wall, as well as the box sorting machines. Or you can look at the pipes in the Pump Room in Strut A. They'll all be labeled with Tokugawa, which is the corporation first seen in Policenauts.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  61. McFarlane Toys

    Go to Strut F and enter the room that has the node. Then enter first person mode and look at the southern wall, near the duct. You'll see a couple of stacked boxes labeled with McFarlane Toys. This company has made several Metal Gear Solid toys in real life.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  62. Zone of the Enders Boxes

    Go to the Parcel Room on Strut E, and then go down the stairs in the southwest corner. Go to the Level 5 door, but don't go in. Instead, turn right and enter first person view. You'll find a stack of cardboard boxes labeled with Z.O.E., better known as Zone of the Enders. In fact, you can get one of these boxes (it's designated as Box 5) in your inventory; you can find it near the Strut E node.

  63. Jack And Rose's Explosive Argument

    At the end of the Fatman boss fight, you're tasked with finding a hidden bomb before the time limit runs out. If you keep calling your team for advice and time is almost up, Rose will eventually suggest that the bomb is under Fatman's body. Raiden thinks that's wrong, and they actually start arguing over it. After that Codec is over, disarm the bomb (which is indeed under Fatman's body), and immediately call Rose to save the game. She'll act smug, and Raiden will admit that she was right.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  64. Dev Team Node Info

    Entering certain names of the game's development team in the node will automatically produce their information, such birthdays and nationalities. This works for Hideo Kojima, Yoji Shinkawa, So Toyota, Ken Ogasawara, Ikuya Nakamura, Mineshi Kimura, Kunio Takabe, Rick Naylor, Jason Enos, and Chris Kramer.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  65. Kasatka Battle

    During the Harrier fight, try attacking the Kasatka instead. Both Snake and Otacon will be angry; they'll have some unique lines and Codecs, and will eventually start shooting at Raiden. Destroying the Kasatka will trigger an automatic Game Over.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  66. Wetworks

    When you're sneaking through the Strut L Perimeter, be extra careful not to be spotted. If you get through there with no alerts, a guard will take a break and relieve himself from atop the roof. The stream will fall directly in Raiden's path. When he's getting drenched under it, call the Colonel. He'll joke that "sneaking missions are called wetworks for a reason." Rose will reassure Raiden, but tells him that he'll need to shower as soon as he gets back.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  67. Fatman's Manicures

    In an optional Codec, Pliskin will talk about how vain Fatman is, mentioning that he gets manicures. However, this is not just some offhand remark; once you've taken out Fatman, equip the Binoculars and zoom in to look at his hands. You'll find that his hands are indeed manicured, complete with pink nail polish.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  68. Stillman's Assessments

    Stillman has multiple hidden Codecs, but they will only trigger depending on Raiden's performance during the bomb disposal section of the game. The criteria are how fast you defuse the bombs (slow, average, fast, very and very fast), if you get several alerts, if you kill several enemies, if you eat too many Rations, and if you did anything perverted in the bathrooms. He does only one comment at a time. As such, it's impossible to hear all of Stillman's assessments in one playthrough unless you reload your save.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  69. Fatman's Shenanigans

    During Fatman's boss fight on lower difficulty settings, only attack him occasionally. If you leave him alone long enough, he'll try skating backwards in a circle, only to fall on his face and be temporarily stunned. This is a great opportunity to shoot him. Alternatively, he'll stand still and let seagulls perch on him. If that goes on long enough, one of the seagulls will peck him on the head, even inflicting a tiny bit of damage.

  70. Kitchen Music

    Whenever you're in a kitchen area of either the Tanker or Plant, take a closer look at the pots and pans hanging on the rack. Shooting them will produce different sounds akin to a music scale.

  71. AK Suppressor

    After the Harrier battle, the Shell 1-2 Connecting Bridge is destroyed. The normal method to get across is to drop and walk on the pipe on the side. However, there is a more direct, riskier method that pays off with an excellent item. Go up the curved section of the bridge wreckage at a slight angle, so Raiden veers to the left as he goes higher. Do a cartwheel off the left tip of the curved section. If done properly, Raiden will cartwheel over the chasm and land on the other end of the broken bridge. Walk forward to the section that's on fire, then use the Coolant to put it out. You'll find a hidden AK Suppressor, which silences your assault rifle.

If you let the timer run out, he'll demand to know what happened to your weapon. If you try walking away, he'll ask where you're going. If you take off your disguise and let Ocelot get close enough, he'll demand to know what your name is. Lastly, if you point a gun at Ocelot, he'll stop walking and exclaim, "What the Hell?!"

  16. Jennifer Codecs

    When you go into the hostage room, look for a female hostage named Jennifer. If you tranquilize or interact with her in different ways, her legs will change positions so you can see up her skirt while in first person mode. If you do this, try calling the Colonel. Both he and Rose will be very upset with you. If you use the digital camera to take a picture of Jennifer while in that state and call Rose, she'll be absolutely furious with you. The Colonel will even give you a stern lecture, but quietly advise you not to throw away the photo.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  17. Hurting Hostages

    Go to the hostage room and start punching and kicking hostages without letting yourself be noticed by the guards. If you do this enough times, it'll trigger a unique Codec in which the Colonel and Rose will yell at you for abusing defenseless hostages.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  18. Door To Arsenal Gear

    When you first get to the Computer Room in the Shell 1 Core, stand where Emma's parrot is. If you look through the window in front of you, you can see out into the hallway, specifically a locked door on the outer wall. Go to that door and enter first person mode. If you look closely, you'll see a symbol for Arsenal Gear, along with the warning, "Keep Out. Authorized Personnel Only." Try calling the Colonel, and it'll trigger a unique Codec in which he claims not to know anything. Rose will also state that they have no information on it. The Colonel will explain that they have no way to open the door, and that you should just continue the mission. This is foreshadowing a later twist, as it's the same spot where you'll return later to access Arsenal Gear.

  19. Electrified Cardboard Box

    When you reach the electrified floor section of the game, equip a cardboard box and walk on it. This will trigger a unique animation in which the cardboard box burns up as Raiden falls backwards.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  20. Hitting Vamp Where It Hurts

    During the boss fight against Vamp, try to carefully aim for the bullet wounds on his head and torso. These are where he was hit in your previous encounter with him. If you shoot these spots precisely, it'll deal far more damage than a regular attack.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  21. Stillman's Body Codec

    When you reach Stillman's body in the flooded area, don't go into the next room after the cutscene. Instead, stop and adjust the camera so you can look at the body. When you do that, try calling Snake. It'll trigger a unique Codec in which Raiden comments that Stillman was waiting for him.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  22. See Emma Early

    After the Vamp fight, go into the next flooded section. When you reach an air pocket, enter first person view and look around. One of the air pockets has a window that lets you look directly into the locker room where Emma is located, and shows Emma sitting on the floor. This will also trigger a unique Codec in which Raiden reports that he's found Emma. If you stare at Emma for several seconds, Rose will eventually call you and act jealous.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  23. Emma And Pentazemin

    If you're having trouble with the section where you swim with Emma, try taking some Pentazemin. Not only does this slow down Raiden's heartbeat, but it also slows down he depletion of Emma's O2 Gauge. This is because Raiden advised Emma to focus on his heartbeat before they dived.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  24. Emma's Codec Reactions

    When you're escorting Emma, try interacting with her in various ways, and then immediately call her via Codec. If you put her in a chokehold, she'll gasp for air. If you keep hitting her, she'll get angrier every time you talk to her. Otacon will be angry as well. If you knock her unconscious, the Colonel will advise you to drag her around just like an enemy's body, and Rose will ask what's up with you. Try knocking Emma down, crawl on top of her body, and then call her. Emma will be absolutely furious with you, and will get angrier each time you do it. If you tranquilize her, she'll say a few lines in her sleep, including calling to Hal. If you kill her, it will trigger a Game Over, with the other characters yelling at you.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  25. Sea Lice Explosions

    Normally, you're supposed to get rid of sea lice by spraying them. However, you can also use explosives, such as grenades, stinger missiles, C4, etc. If you blow them up while in first person mode, their bodies will splatter all over the screen.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  26. Sleep Talking Snake

    Whenever Snake is asleep, keep calling him repeatedly on the Codec. Eventually, Raiden will get frustrated, and Snake will start talking in his sleep. He'll mumble Meryl's name, and briefly wake up and yell, "LIQUID!" before falling asleep again.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  27. VR Mission Colors

    The colors of the VR mission environments will change depending on the time set on the console's internal clock.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  28. Easy Solidus Chokehold

    When Raiden is being choked by Solidus before the final battle, turn his head to look to the left and stare at Snake. Raiden's O2 gauge will deplete more slowly.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  29. First Person Mode Battle Effects

    When fighting in first person mode, make sure to get up close to an enemy before killing them. When they die, the blood spatter will actually cover the camera. If you get shot to death while in first person mode, the camera lens may get cracked.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  30. Restroom Codecs

    When you get to the restrooms in Strut C, don't call Stillman yet. Instead, go into the men's restroom, walk to a urinal, enter first person view, and call the Colonel. This will trigger an awkward codec call with him and Rose. Next, go to the women's restroom. If you call the Colonel while in one of the stalls, they'll be annoyed. If you call them while standing outside of the stalls, they'll react with confusion and disgust. If you call Plisken in there after talking to Stillman, he'll encourage you to keep going. If you keep contacting Rose repeatedly while in there, she may say she'll refuse to save your data. If you call the Colonel with a book equipped inside one of the women's stalls, both he and Rose will yell at Raiden.

    This actually leads to another Easter Egg much later in the game. If you do all of these hidden codecs, it'll trigger a secret codec that only randomly appears during the Arsenal Tengu section. The Colonel will say that he can't believe, "that someone who has committed all those twisted acts in the woman's bathroom would make it this far... this is the end of the world."

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  31. Seagull's Revenge

    Whenever you're in an area with seagulls flying overhead, enter first person mode and watch them fly. If you do this long enough, one of the seagulls will defecate on the camera.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  32. Snake's Cardboard Box

    After you meet Stillman, immediately go to the CD Connecting Bridge. Snake can be seen using his iconic Cardboard Box to sneak towards Strut D. If you shoot him, he'll make a run for hit while still being covered by the box. This will also trigger a funny codec you call Snake immediately afterward. If you call him after shooting his box and then equipping your own, Snake will have some additional comments. You can also contact the Colonel and Rose for a couple of extra codecs.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  33. Terrorizing The President

    When you find President Johnson's location, go into the lobby or hallway that adjoin the room he's in. If you knock on the wall, he'll ask who's there. If you knock several times, he'll get annoyed. If you blow up some C4 on the wall, he'll yell at you to stop.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  34. Ocelot In The Tanker

    When you finally reach Metal Gear RAY in the Tanker, use the crawlspaces under the floor to make your way underneath RAY, and then crawl to the right wall. You'll find another crawlspace that leads to a ladder and platform overlooking RAY. When you get up there, look down carefully at the platform RAY is standing on. You'll see Ocelot standing near one of RAY's limbs. His face will be partially obscured, but his coat and cowboy boots are instantly recognizable. If you take a picture of Ocelot and send it to Otacon, the latter will be creeped out and worried that he'll get possessed.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  35. Make Otacon Laugh

    Once you've beaten the Tanker once and play through it a second time, all the Marines in the hold will be wearing only their underwear. Take a picture of one and send it to Otacon, and he'll laugh hysterically.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  36. Hideo Kojima's Ghost

    When you get to the holds section of the Tanker, take a picture of the projector screen on the right. Hideo Kojima's face will appear over the image. When you send this to Otacon, he'll be creeped out and worried about getting possessed.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  37. Otacon's Extra Photo Reactions

    In the Tanker section of the game, you're tasked with taking photos of Metal Gear RAY and sending them to Otacon. However, there are several additional photos you can take that will trigger extra reactions from him. If you take photos of any of the female posters or Olga's intimate areas, he'll blush and say he'll make a backup of them. If you take photos of the male poster or the Vulcan Raven toy, he'll comment on Snake's sexuality. If you take a photo of the posters near the infrared sensors, he'll laugh and say he'll make a backup.

    This works for a few of the major characters as well. If you take a regular photo of Olga, he'll say how weird it is that you did that just after fighting her. If you keep the photo of Sergei Gurlukovich on the memory card, he'll be surprised he's involved. You can also take up to three photos of Scott Dolph; Otacon he'll get increasingly annoyed each time, and will flat-out tell you to stop sending them after the third one.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  38. Pentazemin Placebo

    In the Tanker Chapter, find the Pentazemin and call Otacon. He'll explain what it does, and claim that it also cures seasickness. Take the Pentazemin and call him back, and Otacon will mention the placebo effect, and mock Snake for being naive. This triggers a hidden codec in the Plant Chapter. When you acquire the Pentazemin as Raiden, call Snake. He'll give the same overview that Otacon did, but will go out of his way to mention that it doesn't cure seasickness, and say, "sometimes faith can overcome medical science," much to Raiden's confusion.

    Contributed by: discoinferno84 

  39. Gurlukovich Soldiers In The Holds

    When you reach the holds section of the Tanker, go to the second area and deliberately wait until the timer reaches 2:30 minutes. If you look closely at the projector screens, you can actually see the Gurlukovich Soldiers getting into attack positions in the background before the cutscene starts.
