Secrets and Tips

Sunglasses
Complete the game twice. On your third playtrough, Snake and Raiden will be wearing sunglasses.

Camera in cutscenes
Press R1 to zoom in and use the right analog stick to move the camera.

Snake’s and Raiden’s thoughts
Press the R1 or R2 while Snake or Raiden is listening to someone and you can hear their thoughts.

While in the Computer Room, look at the walls in FPV (first person view). You'll see the photo of Charlie's Angels that was on the cover of FHM magazine.

Control Projector
In Tanker Hold #2, press the remote by the projector to change the screen that the image is on. Do it enough and a movie of a girl will appear and the marines will be distracted.

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. This is equivalent of 10 pull-ups.

Hideo Kojima Dog Tag Information

Kojima'' into the first node. It will automatically put in Hideo Kojima's blood type, birthday, sex and nationality.


Yoji Shinkawa Dog Tag Info
When first playing as Raiden enter the name “Yoji Shinkawa” into the first node. It will automatically put in his blood type, birthday, sex and nationality.

Guards looking at girls.
  • Once you get into the section just after the Raven model, there's a guy on the second floor who keeps looking through binoculars at a seemingly open space, but if you look where he points his binoculars you can see that he was looking at a girl poster all the way over the gap. Shooting these posters will cause an explosion followed by an alert phase.
  • In the computer room of the Shell 1 Core there's a guard who keeps switching between two computer consoles. Follow him (without being seen) and look over his shoulder. He opens some pictures of girls.
Metal Gear Posters
In the shell 1 core, go to B2. In the main computer area, there are posters of previous Metal Gear games and other games by Hideo Kojima.

Girl posters
You can find pictures of Japanese girls in the lockers in the Tanker.

Miniature Vulcan Raven
At some point in the Tanker you’ll first she a little cutsequence with a shadow. Go further and you’ll see it’s a miniature of Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid. Fire at it or jump on it and he with fire back with little plastic balls.

Dog tag information
Use the binoculars to identify the names of the person on the dog tag. The name of the guard will appear above him.

Slow down the 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.

Happy Birthday
If your birthday (which you enter at the first node in the Plant) matches with the same date set in your PS2 you'll be greeted by a Happy Birthday picture and a birthday cake.

Hostages in Shell 1 Core B1 Hold
The hostages change depending on the time Raiden meets Ninja after the Fatman battle and the internal clock of your PS2.
0:00AM - 0:59AM: all Jennifer
1:00PM - 1:59PM: all old man
10:00PM 10:59PM: all old lady


Girl videoclip in Arsenal Gear
As you wait for Solid Snake in Arsenal Gear, a video will start playing on your radar. To watch the whole clip, don’t answer/use your Codec.

Nasty seagulls
If you shoot enough seagulls they'll come and crap on you or come and attack you.

Higher grip level
Press the R2 and L2 buttons simultaneously to do a pull-up. Do this 100 times and your grip level will increase. Maximum is level 3.

Travel with cardboard boxes
Take a cardboard box to Strut E: Parcel Room. Get in the box, and jump onto the conveyor belt, in the top right-hand corner of the room. You will be transported to a different area, based on the box you used.

Funny convos with directional microphone
  • Use the directional microphone in the room with the hostages and point it at the bathroom on the left to hear Johnny.
  • Point it at Emma behind the first structure and she'll talk to herself about Raiden (and his hair). You can also call her afterwards for an extra laugh.
  • Point it at Emma when she is behind the second structure. She will meet Johnny. If you call Emma right after this, a conversation about what she thought behind the column will ensue.
  • Point it at Pliskin (Solid Snake) before sniping Vamp. He askes himself if he should ask Otacon to take Emma out.
Otacon on pentazemine
If you call Otacon on the tanker episode about the Pentazemine, then eat one and then as Raiden call Solid back, he will mention his experience and knowledge about the pill.

Pliskin in cardboard box
When first time meeting up with Stillman run right after Solid and you can see him running inside a cardboard box. Shooting, or going too near him, will make the alert noise and Solid will run away faster. If you codec Pliskin afterwards there will be a funny conversation about it.

Taking photographs for Otacon
Send the following photos to Otacon and you'll get some funny responses. You'll know if you got the right shot or not if you hear a little beeping sound or if Snake will go, "Hmm".
  • Photo of a male chest, in the room with the Vulcan Raven model
  • Photos of the girl posters inside the lockers
  • Photo of a girl and a boy, in the room where you have to shoot the semtex modules right before you enter the pasageway to the holds. You have to close the locker that is open to get the full picture.
  • Photo of the projector screen with Hideo Kojima ghost, in the first hold with the marines while standing just left to the projector. This may take a few attempts.
  • Photo of marine in boxers, in the second hold in the middle of the other marines.
  • Photos of the commandant, make different pictures of the marine commandant. The more photos, the more funny it gets.
  • Photo of Revolver Ocelot, approach the RAY hangar via the "airducts" from the right side, you will be able to climb on a platform where you can see Ocelot standing near RAY.
Emma's parrot
  • When you have the microphone as Raiden in Big Shell and meet up with the parrot. You can go to the first person mode and if you say "you must be ames!" multiple times, the parrot will start saying this as well.
  • Spray it with the coolant and it says "This sucks".
  • Shoot it and it will say things like "It's him! Someone get over here".
  • The parrot frequently says "Top of locker, top of locker", if you look on top of one of the lockers on the left side, it has a stash of books (the porn mags). Do the 3-hit combo on the locker door to get them down
Conversation about Meryl
In Tanker episode if you take pictures of the sleeping Olga, a conversation about Meryl will start.

Fooling the tengu's
After the "interrigation" scene where you can find Raiden naked, if you get a guard suspicious, you can return to the "torture bed" and "assume the position". Once the guard sees that you're still all bound, he will return to his post, this does not work in Alert mode I believe.

Wet cardboard box
While in the tanker, if you use the wet cardboard box and get shot, the box will just breakup.

Rose will not save your game if you..
Rose will not make a save for you, if you shoot the seagulls, harm Emma, or the hostages. She will also be upset, if you look at Emma long enough through the window before meeting with her for the first time.

Vamp in ending cutscene
In the ending where Solid Snake meets up with Raiden, use R1 to see Vamp standing near a yellow car.

I obviously didn’t put in everything. If you guys have corrections or think something is worth meantioning then PM me with it and I’ll put it in.
Any mistakes will be worked out as I see them. As for grammar mistakes, let me know or maybe admin can do that.
I didn’t put in End Ranking Codenames, if someone has them please PM me with them. Yet I think that’s more something for the leaderboards forums.

You've been L'ed

If you call Otacon on the tanker episode about the Pentazemine, then eat one and then as Raiden call Solid back, he will mention his experience and knowledge about the pill.

When first time meeting up with Stillman run right after Solid and you can see him running inside a cardboard box. Shooting, or going too near him, will make the alert noise and Solid will run away faster. You can then later ask about this incident from Solid.

There are also a bunch of funny codec conversations when you're looking at a toilet, or in a womens bathroom.

In tanker episode, if you approach the RAY hangar via the "airducts", or whatever they are from the right side, you will be able to climb on a platform where you can see Ocelot standing near RAY. Taking a picture of Ocelot will freak Otacon out when you show it to him. Look there for a second time and he's gone.

When you have the microphone as Raiden in Big Shell and meet up with the parrot. You can go to the first person mode and if you say "you must be ames!" multiple times, the parrot will start saying this as well.

In Tanker episode if you take pictures of the sleeping Olga, a conversation about Meryl will start. There's also a couple funny things when taking pictures of several posters (Especially the male posters) and of the Marine commandant and showing them to Otacon.

In the Vamp shootout when Emma goes behind the first column, you can point the microphone at her and you can hear her pondering on several aspects about Raiden. If you call Emma right after this, a conversation about what she thought behind the column will ensue.

After the "interrigation" scene where you can find Raiden naked, if you get a guard suspicious, you can return to the "torture bed" and "assume the position". Once the guard sees that you're still all bound, he will return to his post, this does not work in Alert mode I believe.

While in the tanker, if you use the wet cardboard box and get shot, the box will just breakup.

Rose will not make a save for you, if you shoot the seagulls, harm Emma, or the hostages. She will also be upset, if you look at Emma long enough through the window before meeting with her for the first time.

European Extreme: Raiden vs. Mass Produced RAY units. You have to wreck 24 RAY units (There are 25 in total) before Raiden will give up and sais "It's no use.". Funny that he quits right on the final one, eh?

Also a small edit, you don't have to SHOOT the raven figure. You can also just drop right on top of it and it will start firing those balls.

I'll post some more, if I can remember some more.

edit: You can see Vamp in the background of the ending scene, if you press R1.

Regards,
Caldera

A Devilishly Handsome Woman

Guards looking at girly pictures:

Once you get into the section just after the Raven model, there's a guy on the second floor, who keeps looking through binoculars at a seemingly open space (nowhere to stand or anything), but if you look where he does with the camera, you can see that he was looking at a girl poster all the way over the gap. Also, for some reason if you shoot either of the two posters in this area, there are small explosions that set off Alert phase.

In the computer room of the shell 1 core, there's a guard who keeps switching between two consoles. Follow him (without being seen) and look over his shoulder. He opens some girly pictures.

The Parrot:

Spray it with the coolant and it says "This sucks"
Shoot it and it will say things like "It's him! Someone get over here"
I see you already have the "You must be Ames" one.
The parrot frequently says "Top of locker, top of locker", if you look on top of one of the lockers on the left side, it has a stash of books (the porn mags). 3 hit combo the locker door to get them down.

Photo fun with Otacon:
If send the following photos to Otacon, you'll get some...interesting responses. You'll know if you got the right shot or not because either there be a little beeping noise or Snake will go "hmmm".

In the room with the Vulcan Raven model, there's a locker with a poster showing a male chest. Photo it!

Photograph any of the girl posters around.

In the room where the guy comes out after fixing the door and reports on his radio, there's a poster of a girl with a hand on her hip (which looks as if it's her own) but if you close the locker next to it, there's another poster of a man reaching across (making look like it's actually his hand) Photograph this!

In the first room of marines, stand just to the left of the projector and photograph the projector screen. It could take a few attempts, but get it right and you see a Kojima ghost. If you get the ghost, send it to otacon!

In the second room of marines, there's a guy roughly in the middle that isn't wearing any trousers. Photo him!

I see you already have the Ocelot one up there.

Photograph the marine commandant repeatedly (the more you do it, the funnier it gets, up to about the fifth one, then he starts repeating himself)

Funny Codec calls:

On the tanker, open one of the lockers with the girly pictures early on, stand close and look at the picture in FPV and you'll notice the screen is bobbing a little more than usual. Call Otacon (whilst still in FPV) to find out why.

Save the game enough times on the Tanker section and eventually Mei Ling will make an appearance.

Hide in a locker on the tanker and call Otacon.

As Raiden, go into the mens bathroom, stand right infront of a urinal, look down in FPV and call colonel (you might have to call him a couple of times to get it)

Equip a book (porn mag) and then hide in a toilet stall. Call colonel.

Go into the women's bathroom (before meeting Stillman) and call colonel. Then proceed to open the stall doors and looking in with FPV and then call colonel again (the second part might need to be tried more than once).

Once you've got Emma, punch her then call her immediately. Call her whilst choking her. knock her down and then lay ontop of her and call her. Knock her out and call her. Each one of these will be different (all will be very short) Also try calling Otacon after these.

D-mic:
I see you already have the Johnny Sasaki convo with Emma up, but that's only behind the second tower.
Point it at Emma behind the first tower and she'll talk to herself about Raiden (and his hair). You can also call her afterwards for an extra laugh.
