I'm Michael Tincher, and I didn't do anything in this FAQ. I held Winnie at gun point and made him write everything, and say it was co-authored. You think I'm kidding?! Well, you are write. In this FAQ/Walkthrough for Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, I will lend you my assistance throughout the second disc. The appendices I wrote for include the following: Dog Tags ; Characters ; Endings ; and the Spoiler-Free Guide. So, if you have any questions that are held within those sections, drop an e-mail my way. Also Martin, thanks for the pleasure. You pervs, I meant the pleasure of being a wonderful co-author. Martin Dale-Hench ----------------- Hi, this is winnie the poop, A.K.A. Fox, A.K.A Reformed Pirate, A.K.A. that jackass in the corner that won't stop saying A.K.A. I am priviliged to co- author with MTincher, an above-average writer, for a legendary game such as Metal Gear Solid. Although there are a dozens of excellent FAQs out for this very game, we have decided to make a FAQ for this because... just because! However, we have tried to make this FAQ a bit more unique than a standard FAQ. We have incorporated some maps in our walkthrough and we plan to add a detailed Plot Guide along with it. Metal Gear Solid is originally a product of Hideo Kojima and Konami, but the guys at Silicon Knights (thanks Adrenaline ;)) has taken the rights to this game so they could buffer its graphics and cinemas and whatever so they can take some of our money. Of course, it's all about cutthroat business. They did a damn good job on it, for your information. I hope you will enjoy the game and this FAQ.

Walkthrough | | | | ===================== | | ___| |_______________________________________________________________| |____ ============================================================================== A) -= Infiltrating Shadow Moses =- ============================================================================== *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Cargo Dock *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* After a scene and a conversation with your buddy, Colonel, you will see the elevator go up. Shortly, it will come down. In fact, you have 2 minutes before it comes back. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the controls and such. Return to the water via the opening front of you to find a *RATION* and an *AP SENSOR*, shown in the map. Crawl back up and use Y Button to climb back onto the ground. Now, you have to crawl under some objects to get moving. Press X to drop down and crawl. Be aware of the soldiers that hang around. When you think the coast is clear, crawl to the next area and press X again to stand up. Move quickly around the dock to avoid being seen by the guards. If you have a Radar on your upper right screen, you can see their field of vision and judge whether you should move around or not. They can hear you moving, so don't get too close. There is a *RATION* behind some equipment to the right. Another *RATION* is behind a lifter to the upper right, but it is not recommended to try to get that one because a guard will watch that area closely. WARNING - If you run across a puddle, it will make noise, and any guards in the proximity will hear and check the noise. Be careful! Try to WALK or CRAWL across those puddles! Stay on the lower paths to avoid any big problems with the guards. When the two minutes is up, the elevator scene will occur and the elevator will be open for your usage. However, one more soldier will patrol the area so be extra careful when going for the elevator. When you've successfully reached the elevator unseen, you will go up! *NOTE* - If you get seen, just go back to the original area, where you started and jump into the water and the soldiers will not go after you. Wait for the radar (if it is enabled) to come back and you can start over again... I apologize for an extra-long explanation of this devilishly simple intro- duction to the game, but I had to get the 'basics' out of the way. From now on, I will have to assume you know the basics and just say what you have to do, not how. Good luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAP - CARGO DOCK ______ | | | ELEV | ____________|______|____________ | RA| | | | | RA: Ration | | AP: AP Sensor | ________ ________ | ##: Object you may | | | | | | crawl under |_ | | | | | ELEV: Elevator (duh!) |_| | | | | | | |________| |________| | | | | | | ________ ________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ____| |________| |________| | | | | __________________ | | | | #####| | ######___| |####RA| |######## | W A T E R |______| | ###### | | _____| AP |______///__| \\ RA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Heliport *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* A much easier field to go through here. After learning about Liquid Snake and his Hind D, you meet Mei Ling. Call her at 140.96 to save your mission at any time. She's quite helpful... and cute. :) Now, there is an easy *RATION* to access in the snowfield to the right. If you act quickly, the lone soldier in that area won't be able to see or hear you. Then, bypass that solider to the truck (look at M9/SO in the map) and climb onto it for your first pistol, the *SOCOM*! Walk under it to discover another potent weapon, *M9*! M9 is a tranquilizer and SOCOM shoots regualr bullets that.... kills people and shows blood! WHOO! Then, there's a Storeroom (STORE in map) that is guarded by a camera. To get rid of the camera, you may shoot the camera when it's not looking at you with a SOCOM (hold Z and A to aim) OR get the Chaff Grenades at the middle of the heliport (be careful of the lights - pick it up when they are moving apart!) and use it to disrupt the camera without manking any noise. Quite effective. Now, you want to get out of this cold hellhole. There are two of them, one on the upper floor (UPPER VENT), and one on the base floor (LV). Both of them has a guard all over it, but the lower vent is easier than accessing the upper one. Lower vent - Just use M9 and hold down Z to aim at the sleeping guard by the vent. Aim for his head and if you made a perfect shot, he will fall down and resume sleeping. :) However, there is a camera nearby. Just hug the left wall and crawl to the vent to bypass it. Upper vent - A bit more difficult. Dodge the camera by the stairs and go up. You may shoot the wandering guard onthe balcony if you wish, or just wait for him to go to the other way and go for the vent and crawl through! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAP - HELIPORT UPPER VENT V _ ___________| |_______| |________ | _______________________ | _ _| | | |________ | |_| / \ ________| |________| |__\\\\\\\| |SC LV % ////|___ | __ % \ | __ |__| % `'-., | _ |SO| __ % ___ / / |_| |M9| |__| % | | / / % |___| | |___ % ___ | ___| % | |RA| | _ ___|//////|//|\ % |___| | | |_| / | % ___ | |___ | | % | | | ___| ___| | % |___| | | | % ___ | STORE CG | % | | \ |___ ___ | % |___| \ ______| | \\ % \ |________________| | % | \ |///|__________.-' % ,.-'` | % / %: Border between | %% | snow and ground | ___ %% | CG: Chaff Grenades | | | %% | RA: Ration |_________|___| %% | SO: Socom (in truck) | START %% / M9: M9 pistol | %% / (under truck) | %% | SC: Security Camera | ______ _____| LV: Lower Vent |_________.-' \ / STORE: Store Room (with \_________/ Stun Grenades inside) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Lower Vent *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Really simple. Just head to the right and follow the rats to the opening to the Hangar. When in the underwater section, you have to rush to the other side or you will suffer some damage from insufficent oxygen. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Upper Vent *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* No forks, or nothing. Just follow the path and you will see an opening under- neath. Drop down and you're up for a tough battle. Head to the left ASAP and hide behind the crates (there is some Chaff Grenades there, too). A guard will come close, but he won't see you if you're completely behind the crates. Wait for him to turn away... and come out and use your M9 to take him down. Throw a Chaff Grenade to disable the camera. Follow the walkway, dodge another camera, and go down to thw base level of the Hangar. Congrats! ============================================================================== B) -= The Hangar and Mr. Revolver =- ============================================================================== *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Tank Hangar *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* There are two guard here, each circulating a tank each. You can either avoid them or shoot them down undetected with your M9 (SOCOM will make noise and get you in trouble). You may head up to the catwalk (mind the cameras) and enter the open room (another camera here - use your Chaff Grenades) for *THERMAL GOGGLES*. NOTE - The darkened and spotted panels on the catwalk are traps that causes noise when somebody runs over it. Therefore, walk or crawl over those panels if you don't want to generate any noise. Either way, go to the elevator panel on the base level and press Y to open the door (takes a while!). Go to the southeastern part of the elevator to find the buttons. Go down to B1. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Holding Cells *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* You will not be able to open any doors, but that doesn't matter. Go to the end of the hallway to find a ladder and a vent shaft on the ground. Enter the vent for a *RATION* and go back to the ladder and climb up. In the upper vent shaft, take the first left to witness a soldier pissing (don't look at me!). Continue on to find a *M9 AMMO* box. Return to the untravelled path. After finding an imprisoned woman, continue to find your first objective, the DARPA chief - Donald Anderson. Listen to what he has to say - more blah blah mumbo jumbo. Yay. After the 'arresting' scene (cardiac arrest), look under ther bed for a *RATION*. After that, you end up facing several dozens of genome soldiers with the female from next door. Yay. In the fight, empty out your SOCOM on the baddies. During the battle, take a break in the bathroom to the south for a *BOOK* and *M9 AMMO*. Keep mowing down the troops. On the fourth or fifth group, a guy will throw a grenade into your room, so when that happens, retreat to the room to the south until the stupid crap explodes. The dead guys will occassionlly pop up some SOCOM Ammo, so keep an eye peeled for them. After the battle, the female who just kicked MAJOR ass shows off her ass to you. Yummy... pixel-ed ass. You will also meet a member of FOX-HOUND, Psycho Mantis. Frightening, no? Take the elevator down to B2. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Armory *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Really simple here. Since you have the Keycard LVL. 1, you can open two of the lokced doors here. The southern room is open, so just walk in and take the *SOCOM AMMO* around and in the locker (press Y to open). Don't forget the *GRENADES* and *C4 BOMBS* in the LVL. 1 rooms. Be careful of the traps in the paths here, thwy will open the path to an abyss. You will fall down if you're not quick enough. They are seen as 'TT' on my map. Now, you might want to collect some free stuff in the hidden rooms in the corners. Go to either northern corner and press Z to look at the northern wall and you should find a strange wall marked with a different hue. Place a C4 (or a Grenade) on the base of that wall and walk away... Press B to make it explode! Enter the hidden room and take the goodies. Same goes for the other corner. The locations are easily located on my map. :) Now, time to stop masturbating over free, sexy, silicone stuff. Head to the lower left corner and find the distorted wall there... plant a C4 bomb there and explode it... Enter the new hole... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAP - ARMORY TT: Trap BB: Bomb-able walls L2: Only opened with level 2 card ______ (Socom, FA-MAS, M9 ammo) | | (SOCOM, FA-MAS ammo) (Stun Grenades, C4) | ELEV | (Chaff Grenades) __________BB_____ ___|______|___ ___BB____________ | \_______| |_______/ | | | | | | ______________ ____________ ______________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TT | LEVEL 5 | TT | C4 Bombs | TT | LEVEL 3 | | | | (PSG-1 & | | | | (Nikita) | | | | ammo) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_____LVL5_____| |____LVL1____| |_____LVL3_____| | |__ | |__| | | ______________ ____________ ______________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _| | | Grenades | | SOCOM ammo | | LEVEL 2 | | | | | | | | | (FA-MAS) | |_| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_____LVL1_____| |____ ____| |____LVL2______| | | | | ____ ____ | | | | | | | |_BB_________________| |__L2__________| |____________________| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Armory South *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* It's snowing here!!! Nah, just kidding. Find yet another weird wall on the right side (EASILY FOUND HERE!). of course, blow it up. Now, in the new room, there are TWO walls with different coloring to them. Right now, you should only explode the left one because the right one will lead you to LVL 5/6 doors and you aren't that far yet. Enter the left wall... ************************* BOSS #1 - REVOLVER OCELOT ************************* Quit that gun-swirling, Communist. This comrade can be quite easy or quite hard, depending how swift you can manuever your protangist. Your weapon of choice has to be SOCOM. Now, run around the plate in circles early on, in hope of getting a good shot at Revolver. Fire your SOCOM at him, and if he gets hit, he will stop because of recoil. Keep going at him, but don't fire again until he starts moving again. That way, you have an excellent head start on hitting him on the next turn. Keep doing that, but this time, you have to TAP R1 LIGHTLY TWICE to reload your SOCOM. If you don't do that, you will have to waste precious seconds reloading while Ocelot runs away from your grasp. And you will have start over again. Ocelot's pistol is able to reflect off walls to hit you, so be prepared for some outrageous hits. Still, keep going after him for a good, clean shot at him. You could want to out-wit him by going the opposite direction in a heartbeat to catch him going at you. After the battle, Ninja comes forth and makes Ocelot his bitch. Are you happy? I sure am! *heart* Now, watch the sizzling battle between Ninja and Snake. After Ninja's confusing and abrupt departure, you will have a chance to talk to Kenneth Baker, one of your objectives at the start of the mission. He will talk to you about Metal Gear, give you the disk you were looking for, and finally, the LVL. 2 card! WHOO! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Armory *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Baker also tells you to contact Meryl, but he can't remember her Codec number. However, he remembers that the number is on the back of the case. Which case? The GAME case, you fool. Take your case for the ACTUAL game and look at the back. one of the pictures has a conversation between Meryl and Snake. The number? [140.15] HA! After the deja vu (you know what I mean if you saw the entire scene...), go north, back to the original Armory. This time, enter the SE room to find a machine gun, FA-MAS. However, before getting the weapon, use your Cigs or Goggles to see some lasers. Crawl under them to safely access the new weapon. IMPORTANT - Before going up the elevator, input in '140.15' in your Codec to contact Meryl. You and she will have a long, long talk... in the end, she will grant you a favor of opening the tank door that leads to the Snowfield. ============================================================================== C) -= The Tank and the 'Warehouse to the North' =- ============================================================================== *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Tank Hangar *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Take your Codec out and input in '140.15' if you haven't yet. If you hadn't contacted Meryl before going here, you will have to leave and re-enter this place to have the door to the north opened. --------- NOTE - Before going into the tank hangar door, you should utilize your new Keycard in rooms previously inaccessible here. The rooms: -On the base floor, enter the LVL. 1 door to the northeast (nxt to the hangar door) for a *SOCOM SUPPRESSOR*, a valuable item in your quest. -On the catwalk, the first door after climbing up the stairs - *CHAFF GRENADES*. -On the other side of the catwalk - The southern door - *THERMAL GOGGLES*. Will be here if you already gotten it earlier. -The SECOND door to the right, still on the catwalk - *MINE DETECTOR*, *RATION* (under desk), and *STUN GRENADES* (in locker). --------- Enter the newly-opened door that Meryl opened for you. (Notice the right tank is GONE!) Anyway, in the tank hangar door, there are several lasers going up and down. If you touch one of those, the door will shut down and gas will suffocate you to death. no escaping here! To see the lasers, equip your Thermal Goggles gotten from the room by the Catwalk in this very room (see above). Alternatively, you may use the CIGS to -faintly- see the lasers when you're by them. However, the Cigs will slowly reduce your health! Either way, wait for the laser to come above you and move to the next 'safe spot' and wait for the next laser to move up and so on. Enter the door at the end... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Canyon *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WARNING! - There are several *CLAYMORES* right front of you and to the right. If you step over them, it will detonate and damage you greatly. You may crawl over them and collect them for your own use without any harm. Whoo! However, I recommend you to just go dead left to the corner and up (NO claymores in this path) to the *RATION*. Collect it and CRAWL north for a CLAYMORE and a scene. You will ignite a BOSS BATTLE! **************** BOSS #2 - 'TANK' **************** Your main weapon here is definitely the Grenades, but your main asset to suriviving this battle is the Chaff Grenades, since it temprorarily disables the cannon of the tank (as controlled by Vulcan Raven). Throw a Chaff Grenades before moving and wait for it to start working. Then move out of the rock you're behind and head for the tank. Equip your Grenades and go around the tank in circles (avoid its cannon and the gunner!). When you think you're not targeted by either of the guns, stop and turn your body toward the gunner in the middle and throw a Grenade toward him. If it's a bull-eye, a brief scene will show a Grenade landing onto the Gunner's lap. Soon after, the Grenade will explode and inflict damage to 2/5 of the Gunner's health. Big money, baby! However, if it was not a bull-eye but pretty close to the Gunner, it will do about 1/5 of the damage. After each hit, the Gunner will return to the tank to tend care of itself. Therefore, don't throw a barrage of Grenades after he is hit... wait for him to get back up and resume your throwing. There are two Gunners in all, so don't think you've won when the health bar goes down! Since the battle can be drawn-out, there are items in the far north/northeastern border. Also, there are several items in the trench to the north. Also, there is a way to stop the Tank from moving - place a Claymore or C4 or Grenade or whatever near a tank. If it explodes near a wheel, it will destroy the wheel. If enough of them are disabled, the tank will stop moving. It will make your battle MUCH easier. Keep moving in circles and you shall be the victor! After the grueling battle, the Tank is obliberated by Solid Snake and you finally access the 'Warehouse to the north'. Whoo! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Nuke Building 1F *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Go on the path to the left to find a *RATION*. Go down to the right path and crawl through the tiny opening. Suddenly, Colonel Campbell and Naomi calls you and states that you CANNOT use ANY weapons here. Darn. There are two soldiers patroling the base floor, and one more paces on the catwalk above. The Elevator is on the catwalk, so you got to go up there. You may use the left or right staircases, but I prefer the left one. Either way works. There is *SOCOM AMMO* in the truck to the north, by the right staircase. *GRENADES* and *M9 AMMO* are in the lockers to the west. I recommend going to the left (mind the noisy floors and the guard that goes around the missiles) once the soldiers passes to the north. Grab the items in the lockers (hide in there if the guard comes back!). Then go up the stairs when the soldier on the catwalk goes to the right. Quickly press the button by the elevator to open it and go down to B1F! Whew!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAP - NUKE BUILDING 1F ________________ |SC | | _________ | _____ | | |//| | | | | |//| |ELEV | |_ | |//| RA: Ration |_____| |_| | ...... |//| FA: FA-MAS Ammo ____________| |____| . |. ___ . |//| SC: Security Camera | ......................... |.| | . | SOC: Socom Ammo | . ________________________|v|SOC| ^ | G: Grenades (in locker) | .| .| | . | ...: Path of Guard | | .......<......... . . _| |//| . _ _ _ _.. ..... | | |//| . | | | | | | | |. | | |//| . | | | | | | | |. | | |//| . | | | | | |_ | |.

First, go to the bathroom QUICKLY to catch a guy urinating and use your M9 or silenced SOCOM to knock him out. Grab the *RATION* in the corner and the *BOOK* in a stool. Go to the main room to the south, but watch out for the lone guy here. Wait until his view is out of your position and track him down with your SOCOM or M9. Then, head to the right to find your newest bad-ass weapon - the *NIKITA*! Pick the *NIKITA AMMO*, too. Open the lockers for a *RATION* and *M9 AMMO*. Don't forget the *STUN GRENADE* in the corner and return to the elevator to go down to B2. *The doors here are above LVL. 3, so you will not be able to access any of the rooms here yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAP - NUKE BUILDING B1 To Commander's Room _______________ _ | | | |_____ | | | MAG RA| | |_____ | | | | | |__ Boy's | | ___ | Bathroom | | |ELE| To Girl's Bathroom |________ __| |_______|___|_______ _____ | | | | |___________________________ ________________| MAG: Magazine | | |____|SG | RA: Ration |LEVEL 4 | ___|\\\|___ | SG: Stun Grenades |_________| | _| |_ | | M9: M9 Ammo | | | | | | RA| SO: Socom Ammo |LEVEL 6 | _|_|SO___ |_|_ NIK | FA: FA-MAS Ammo | | / | | / M9| NIK: Nikita & Ammo |_________| / _ |___| _ / ________| | | | | FA| | | | | | | |_ _| | |LEVEL 4 | |LEVEL 5 | |___| |___| | | | | |\\\| | | |_________|______________________|________| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Nuke Building B2 *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Enter the next doors and suddenly, some gas comes out, partly suffocating you! A cutscenes helps you to understand that there is a electric panel out of your reach that generates the electric floor. Now, if you managed to disable the panel, you would have an easy access to the entire floor, right? RIGHT! Take your Nikita out and fire one down the hall and turn right. Now, the left room has FOUR Gun Turrets that will attempt to destroy your sweet little missile. How do you avoid them? The trick is NOT to slow down. Just go right once you enter this room and let the Nikita FLY! Do not change direction, since it will slow the missile down. When the missile nears the northern end of the room, you may change the direction so it will enter the room to the north. Then, go to the right and hit the panel for once and all! WHOO! Go back to the previous room to get your oxygen level up. Then, enter the first room fo a *RATION*. The second room is locked with LVL 4... forget it then. The third one is accessible, but you got to use an Chaff Grenade to disable the gun turret here. Take the *GAS MASK* and *BOOK*.
