Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Walkthrough

Collect rats through this tunnel if needed and reach the ladder at the back end. Climb the ladder (it’s a long one!) until you reach the top. Hunt more rats if desired before scampering to the exit at the end of the hall.

Switch face paint and camouflage for this mountainous terrain--it’s quite different from the lush forest locale from earlier in the game. If you picked them up, choose the desert face paint and choc chip uniform. Snag the serum and smoke grenade from the corner before proceeding to the west. Drop down the ledge and carefully move to the corner.

Peer around the corner and spot the patrolling guards. It’s difficult to see each guard because of the uneven terrain. Most guards patrol east to west; thankfully they’re fairly spread out, which will help you pick them off one at a time. Four guards patrol the ground level while a fifth stands post on a ledge on the eastern side of this area. Eliminate him first if possible since he’s looking down on his fellow guards below and may notice when one of them takes a bullet to the head.

The sniper rifle is an excellent weapon here, though it is rather loud. If you can sneak closer and use a suppressed mk22 or M1911A1, you can prevent the noise from alerting other guards. Use thermal to pinpoint guard locations as you crawl close to their location.

Check the western edge of the area for a rock formation holding some items, including serum, mk22 ammunition, and sniper ammunition. It’s also possible to reach the ledge where the guard stands post. Find the crawlspace on the eastern edge just south of the ledge. Crawl through and reach the ledge containing some grenades.

After you kill a guard, vultures swoop down to feed on the remains. Shoot or knife the vulture to collect its meat and add the food to your reserves. The vulture meat replenishes a good amount of stamina so replace any rotten or low-end food from your reserve with vulture. Once you’re done exploring the area, exit to the north.

Several guards patrol the cliffs and ramps leading to the base area. At the area’s entrance, look toward the first ramp and wait for the first guard to proceed down. Wait until he turns away and sneak up on the guard for a combat maneuver or use a suppressed weapon to eliminate the hostile. A second guard patrols a bit higher near the anti-air gun. Wait for him to move close to the gun and eliminate him with the sniper rifle; or you can wait until he moves away and gives you a chance to move closer for an alternate weapon.

Before moving up the ramp, go to the corner and pick up the sniper ammo, antidote, AK-47 ammo, M37 ammo, and M1911A1 ammo. You can ascend the ramps or even check some of the caves for additional routes up the mountainside. Check the cave behind the anti-air gun for XM16E1 ammo.

A helicopter patrols the airspace around the mountainside--if you didn’t destroy it earlier in the game. The helicopter provides sound cover for your attacks, including the loud sniper rifle. Carefully move up the ramps and spot another guard patrolling above you. Take cover behind rocks and wait for him to move away before eliminating him.

Vultures feed on guard corpses in this location as well so if you need additional food, kill the scavengers and collect the meat as you move toward the mountain base.

After eliminating the guard on the ramp, continue to the higher ramp to reach an excellent sniping position over the base. Scan the base with sniper zoom to locate remaining guards and eliminate them with the sniper rifle (with sound shrouded by the helicopter if it’s around). You can also sneak in through the ground level and take out the guards at closer range but it’s more risky and a higher chance of causing an alert. The sniper position also contains mosin ammunition if you have the weapon.

The mountain base contains three structures. The first structure on the south side is the armory. Take a trip inside to find the RPG-7 rocket launcher and TNT. The second structure just to the northeast is the medical supplies shack. Pick up the serum, splint, and disinfectant. Check the final adjacent structure to locate the food supplies. Snag the rations inside. Use available TNT to destroy these structures to weaken guards throughout the area. Continue east into the next section.

Take cover behind the crates and spot the nearby patrolling guard and another patrolling near the anti-air gun up on the cliff. Use the sniper rifle to eliminate these foes or wait for a chance to sneak up on the nearby hostile. Three other guards patrol the northern side of the area. Check thermal to pinpoint their location as you move toward the north. Check the shack in the southeast corner for a handful of grenades and some M37 ammunition.

Beware of guards patrolling the trenches, which might be harder to see if you’re running above them. There are two more structures on the northern side of the map, including an armory with RPG-7, sniper, and M63 ammunition as well as TNT and a claymore mine. Blow up the building with the TNT. The other structure contains some medical items. Exit through the red door in the northeast corner after exploration.

Find EVA in the opening cut scene. When you regain control you’re overlooking the weapons base. Return to the mountaintop ruins and grab the food in the first building. In the second quarters, pick up the claymore, XM16E1 ammunition, and search under the bed for sniper and AK- 47 ammo (as well as mosin if you have the weapon).

Return to the mountaintop. Guards have returned so move carefully down the eastern side to the other red door. EVA gave you the key so you’re ready to proceed. Spot the flamethrower guard near the anti-air gun south of your start position. Eliminate him as you move along the eastern edge. Drop down above the door and enter quickly before setting off any alerts.

Descend the stairs picking up the grenade along the way. Note the bats on the ceiling; shoot them if you need some meat. At the bottom of the stairs, turn south and pick up the XM16E1, M37, and M1911A1 ammunition. Proceed down the hall. At the end of the hall snag the ointment and bandage. Turn right and pick up the AK-47 and mk22 ammunition. Stand back and shoot the barrels ahead to expose a battery. Drop down into the tunnel’s center to encounter the next boss.
