9 All The Ways To Escape The Prison Ce꧒ll
At about the halfway point, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Solid Snake is captured and tortured. In between electric shock sessions, he is kept in a prison cell where the player has to find out how to escape. Several ways exist to escape captivity, though some are easier to figure out than others.

8 Planting C4 On Enemies' Backs🦄
What better way to toy with enemies than with remote-controlled explosives? Plant them on a guard's patrol for a nasty surprise. Ev♒en more sinister, Snake can plant them on a guard's back if they are stationary. This is easiest to do when a guard is using a urinal, since they stand still for an extended period of time. Maybe it is cruel, but these are terrorists Snake is dealing with.
7 🧔 Ghosts In The Pho꧟tos
Photo modes are all the rage these days, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:especially with Play𒈔Stat🎀ion 4 exclusives, but way back in 1998 Metal Gear Solid gave players a camera as an item with which to snap and save pictures.

6 🐽Getting Through The Communications Tower Without Killing Anyone
Going through the communications towers is quite an ordeal, filled with a boss battle, a rope descending minigame, and a gauntleꦆt of guards rushing towards the player as they climb numerous flights of stairs.
When dealing with the latter, one typically employs𒁃 the FAMAS assault rifle. However, anyone looking to tackle things non-lethally is better served with a healthy supply of ꦰStun Grenades. Running through and timing the throws will knock out any resistance, preventing Snake from taking damage and sparing the enemies' lives.
5 ܫ The Busts In The Psycho Mantis Fight🎀
The well-known trick to defeating Psycho Mantis involves putting the controller into the second port of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation. A second way to mess with him comes into play if the player dieꦆs several times. Colonel Campbell eventually calls the player and mentions something about the busts in the room. Afterward, the player can shoot the heads off them, causing the boss distress and making the fight easier.
4 🦄 Running S♒traight Through The Minefield
At one point Meryl helps Snake navigate a minefield by creating a safe path with her footsteps. Following her lead is relatively easy, but a simpler way exists of avoiding the Claymore Mines. Simply run straight from where Snake starts in the room and the player dodges a🐎ll the explosives. One wonders if the developer🐬s intended this or if it simply turned out that way by accident.
3 Kꦺilling Sniper Wolf With The N⛎ikita

2 Pa🦹rach⛎ute In The Snow Field
The Hind D is a particularly memorable boss fight. While in the snowfield, search the right side of the area to see a used parachute draping a tree. Calling Colonel Campb🐲ell during this moment initiates a conversation where the two wonder if Liquid survived the destruction of the helic🏅opter. They conclude know one could have survived, but venturing a little further into the story proves them wrong.
1 ꦗ Saving Meryl 🎐
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The game has two endings based solely on how one 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:reacts to Ocelot's torture. Submit to Ocelot's sadistic game and Snake finds Meryl dead during the end after fighting Liquid.
