So I figured I'd give you guys a small taste of what the content will be like on the website. Also, I know there are some that still need help. Story- Brief-(Spoiler Free, Not Complete) War has changed. In the 21st century, war and private military corporations are the basis for the global economy. The age of mercenaries has died out, a thing from the past. No longer do soldiers become experienced through trail and error. Using new age technology, the PMCs can train anyone to be killer without even holding a weapon. Yet, with this new system comes restriction. Id tagged soldier carrying id tagged weapons. No longer can soldiers act on instinct. On the battlefield, everything is controlled. Proxy battles after proxy battles are waged with no emotion, no drive to end the war. War has changed. Extended- Coming Soon Characters- Old Snake Bio: Once known as Solid Snake, this old mercenary has seen war develop through his own eyes. Snake is aging rapidly due to the cloning process that created him. Old Snake only has one year left before his life comes to end. Asked by Roy Campbell, Snake must stop Liquid at all costs and finally end his family’s cursed bloodline. Otacon Bio: Computer and technology genius, Otacon has joined the fight with Snake since Shadow Moses. He developed Otocam suit and the Mk. II that Snake uses. His past hardships have made Otocan even more determined in stopping Liquid. He acts like a father towards Sunny. Colonel Campbell Bio: Former commander of Foxhound, Campbell asks for Snakes to terminate Liquid. Campbell supports Snake through the connections he has in the military. In addition, he brings on his new wife, Rose, on the mission for psychological help for Snake. The rift between Campbell and his daughter, Meryl, has grown to point of no return. Sunny Gurlukovich Bio: Sunny is Olga Gurlukovich’s daughter. Raiden rescued Sunny from the Patriots and left her in the care of Otacon. Sunny is a smart, bright child. Her abilities are amazing for age, but Sunnys cooking skills need some work. She searches for everything and anything just to get a little closer to her deceased mother. Drebin Bio: Drebin is a shady gun launder that works for the Armstech Corporation. He takes Id-tagged guns and makes them so anyone can use them. He sets a shop, which Snake is able to buy new weapons and ammunition. He helps Snake out several times throughout his mission. Raiden Bio: After Solidus reawakened Raiden’s past, Raiden would have nightmares every night. This led to him and Rose drifting apart. The final straw that ended their relationship was the death of their unborn child. Alone and suffering, Raiden sought to fulfill his promise and save Olga Gurlukovich’s daughter. Eventually along his mission, he became the new Cyborg Ninja and became in contact with Big Mamma. Rose Bio: Rose had a miscarriage, and her fear of what Raiden was becoming ended their relationship. She’s a psychological counselor for combat stress and is asked by her new husband, Roy Campbell, to aid Snake during his mission with advice. Naomi Hunter Bio: After the Shadow Moses Incident, Naomi Hunter was branded a spy and put into captivity by the U.S.A. military. Liquid Ocelot broke her out for her to help take over the Son’s of the Patriots system. Her allegiances are not certain, but Snake must find her to end Liquid’s insurrection. Meryl Silverburgh Bio: Meryl become the commanding officer of Rat Patrol Team 01. Colonel Campbell put her in charge of monitoring the private military corporations and investigate Liquid’s whereabouts. Meryl shows mixed hostility towards Snake, but she supports Snake on his mission. She’s grown to an experienced soldier and adept commander. Johnny Sasaki (Akiba) Bio: Part of Rat Patrol Team 01, Johnny is ten year old veteran, who first saw combat back during the Shadow Moses Incident. He’s called Akiba by his comrades. Akiba often makes mistakes and often has troubles during combat. For an odd reason, Akiba is not affected when Liquid turns off the Son’s of the Patriots System. Liquid Ocelot Bio: Liquid has complete control over Ocelot’s body. Liquid commands the five largest private military corporations in the world. He seeks control of the Son’s of the Patriots. After failed attempts, Liquid decides to acquire Big Boss’s body. Liquid wants to set up Outer Heaven just like his father wished for. Liquid’s quest for power is a threat to the Patriots. Vamp Bio: After all his comrades from Dead Cell were killed, Vamp decides to join Liquid Ocelot’s plans in destroying the Patriots. He wears the dog tags of his fallen comrades. Vamp has a growing desire to fight Raiden to the death. Vamp seems immortal, but there are no such things as vampires in the real world. Boss Guide- Laughing Octopus - Before you battle Octopus, you will have to take down six Haven Troopers. They come in groups of two. After you kill a group, the next group will come in. Remember if you are trying to get no alerts, if the Haven Troopers spot you, it counts against you. After defeating them, the real battle begins. Laughing Octopus is a very simple boss battle. She uses her version of the Otocam suit with a face mask. For at least a good half of the battle, Octopus just hides herself. You just need to be aware of where she may hide. To find her, I recommend using the Solid Eye with night vision on. You will be able to spot her. Octopus will taunt you showing her general location on your radar. Just go there and you should be able to spot her. If not, I will list the locations that I have seen her hide. 1. Hides up against one of the walls on the hallway at least once and is usually the first place to find her. 2. Hides above you near the ceiling. 3. A cardboard box in one of the rooms. Her tentacles and upper head will still out. 4. The examination room. She will be near the cat scan machine. Her tentacles will appear like wires attached to the machine. 5. You will notice that there is a muscular tissue human statue in one of the rooms. She will take that shape and be directly across from the original in the next room. 6. Pretends to be one of Haven Troopers bodies on the floor. Every time you find, you should just shoot at her as much as you can. Then she will then either go hide again or decide to attack you. Octopus decides to hide. A black fog will appear where she was and three flying explosive objects will towards you. Just shoot them. If she decides to attack you., just avoid her attacks. She has three main attacks. 1. Shooting at you with her P90. 2. Don’t get close to her, or she will hit with her tentacles. 3. Rolls up at ball and tries to hit you. Just go on top of a bed, box or desk. When she attacks you, try throwing grenades at her. Then just repeat this process. Closer to the end, she will become a bigger version of the Mk. II. You will hear Otacon saying “Come here quick!” Instead of approaching from the front, go around back and shot at her. If you follow her, you will run into a mine. She will also go on the ground and transform herself into Naomi. Just shoot her. With this guide, you should be able to beat her no problem. After defeating Octopus’s beast version, you will have to take her human form down. Just shoot at her. She will dodge your attacks, but you will hit her every third or fourth shot. Make sure you keep your distance or Octopus will hug you and start hurting you. Raging Raven- Run up to the highest level of the tower and fight her there. It will be easier. Use your Solid Eye and turn on night vision. You should be able to spot her flying. Shot some of the flying unmanned objects. You will get DP for this and makes it easier to find her. Also, you will less likely be hit. Do this every once and while. Raven has a grenade launcher with her. Once you spot her, just shot her. She will do her animation and grenade will come flying at you. Just side roll away from it and study that animation so you know when it’s coming. Rather than that, this battle is simple. After defeating Raven’s beast version, you will have to take her human form down. Just shoot at her. She will dodge your attacks, but you will hit her every third or fourth shot. Make sure you keep your distance or Raven will hug you and start hurting you. Crying Wolf- Probably the most difficult boss battle. You will have to find Wolf in the blizzard with Haven Troops patrolling the area. Avoiding the troops or just tranq them. If you stay down wind, she will attack you with her rail gun or start running at you. Go up wind, and try to find her by using the Solid Eye with the night vision on. You should look for her or her big footprints which will lead you to her. She will normally run around from time to time trying to find or hit you. Wolf normally kills a few Haven Troopers that get in her way. If she does find you, attack her with some type of explosive weapon. Then follow her foot steps to see where she went. After defeating Wolf’s beast version, you will have to take her human form down. Just shoot at her. She will dodge your attacks, but you will hit her every third or fourth shot. Make sure you keep your distance or Wolf will hug you and start hurting you. Vamp- Another easy boss fight, just dodge his attacks with a side step or a side roll. Shoot Vamp till he falls. He will then recover his health. When he starts to get up, try CQCing him and use the syringe on him. After this, Vamp will fight Raiden on top of Rex. You have to protect REX from the suicide Gekkos. Just use the rail gun you obtained from Crying Wolf. If you charge it all the way to the third level and hit the Gekkos’ in the head area, they will be destroyed. Do this until a cut scenes starts. Metal Gear Ray- Rex comes equipped with a Gatling gun, missiles and a laser. All three have limits to them, I recommend just cycling through them. Avoid any ramming attacks Ray attempts at you. Usually a step backwards will do the trick. Attack Ray until it falls. Screaming Mantis- First, use the syringe so Mantis can not control you via nanomachines. Knock Meryl out or use cqc with the syringe and inject her with it. After this, shot at Mantis’s dolls. Shot both long enough and they will fall on the floor. Grab both and then use the Mantis doll on her. Then move the controller up and down and left to right. Mantis will fall to her death. After defeating Mantis’s beast version, you will have to take her human form down. Just shoot at her. She will dodge your attacks, but you will hit her every third or fourth shot. Make sure you keep your distance or Mantis will hug you and start hurting you. Liquid Ocelot- This is an epic battle and not too hard to figure out Liquid Ocelot’s attacks. I recommend fighting him by without reading this guide. For now, this boss does not have a guide yet. Rankings- (This will eventually have how to get, number in ranking, in game description, and in-game picture) Ant Emblem- Shake 50 enemies for items Assassin's Emblem- Beat the game with 50+ knife kills, 50+ CQC holds, and 25 or less alerts.

Unlockables- Stealth Camouflage. An infiltration device developed by Dr Hal Emmerich, originally intended for use by FOXHOUND but later used by the creator himself in his support of Solid Snake.

Grants the wearer unlimited ammunition for all his weapons. Obtained by achieving the Pigeon emblem. "Big Boss" FaceMask. A facemask that resembles the corpse of Big Boss. Ironically the corpse is actually Solidus Snake.

An ancient arquebus rifle used by Japanese warriors, named after the Tanegashima island near Kyūshū, Japan. This rifle is tactically useless unless it's special ability of kamikaze (divine wind) is achieved. In order for kamikaze to work you must be outdoors with sufficient space around you (i.e. not in an alley), if kamikaze is achieved a vast gust of wind will fly through the area in front of you, killing all soldiers (PMC and militia) and causing them to drop hundreds of items (usually rations and ammunition). Obtained from Drebin's store for 1,000,000DP Solar Gun. A strange weapon that fires blasts of concentrated sunlight. Once owned by a holy knight who used it to banish darkness. The weapon causes a Psyche kill and will cause targets to drop items they normally wouldn't possess (for example a PMC soldier might drop 7.62x51mm ammo or .22 Anaesthetic rounds). Obtained by finding the five dolls in the game (FROG and B&B Corps). Scanning Plug. A nanomachine inhibitor syringe that allows short term access to the SOP System.
