SNAKE'S DECK: Deck Size: 34

VENUS’S DECK: Deck Size: 34

Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

Snake or Venus need to use a KODOQUE+ or Shagohod+ to wipe out the guards all at once (if more than one guard is killed in one turn but not all of them, reinforcements with higher HP will appear). If Snake does have KODOQUE+, move two blocks North and use it. If he has Shagohod+, move to the position NW of the 2nd guard closest to Snake, and use it. It takes 12 movement for Snake to get into that position, 10 for Venus.

Adding the attack cards to Venus is an optional safety mechanism if you do not get an appropriate result with Snake.

If Venus has KODOQUE+ in the first or second hand, move her two blocks North and one Block West, facing towards the guards. Then, use the KODOQUE+ card.

If neither character has the KODOQUE+ card in their first turns, use mulligan cards. The guards will move and acquire cost. If the nearest guard moves two blocks South, Snake or Venus may have to punch the guard off the train so that a KODOQUE+ card can be optimally used in that position.

MISSION COMPLETE. Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

Don't move Snake on this stage; only Venus needs to get to the secret underground entrance. Move her through the western (left) door. Move Venus to the block in the Northwest corner and enter Crawl mode. Crawl through the vent to the North and enter Stand mode. The secret underground entrance is the block between the two most Eastern aquariums on the Northern wall (OR between the second and third aquarium).

NO DECK CHANGES

Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

Depending on your opening hands, you may want to simply play a card like Mr. Sigint or Action++ and wait out the nearest guard's move. Whoever goes 2nd will complete the stage.

Proceed to the first guard and use Punch to knock him out if you do not wait out the first turn, then head down the balcony to the final ladder and climb down. Move through the giant door, into the larger room. Proceed up the ramp on the West side and through the door. In this room, move down the ramp and through the guards to the West of the electrified floor (Punch will be useful here). Advance to the subgoal to the North.

Only one character needs to get to the goal. Move up the ladder. The shielded unit prevents them from advancing, use Punch on him twice until he is knocked off the rail. Advance to the ladder on the Southwest side by taking the walkway. You will need to Punch the guard standing in front of the ladder.

Once up the ladder, run up to the flamethrower unit and Punch him off the balcony. Proceed to the next ladder and climb it, then run up to the ladder heading back down. Climb down to the bottom floor again, and head towards the goal where the PSG1 is.

Snake will utilize the Infinite Deck strategy for this fight. You can use Arsenal Gears to reduce Golab's HP before using a Dragon card. As an alternative, you can reference Snake's ATK value with the Dragon Card before actually firing it to ensure that enough damage is dealt. Prioritize Double Action+Cost at the start of every turn to raise the cost of all cards before using them.

SNAKE'S DECK: Deck Size: 37

VENUS’S DECK: Deck Size: 38

Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

Skip Snake's and Venus's first turn. KODOQUE will either expose its missile slots on its “arms” or will prepare for a laser attack. If it is preparing for the laser attack, continue to skip your characters' turns until it arms its missiles. Have Snake use the Infinite Turn strategy with M47 Dragon cards and Super Dragon cards to blow up both of KODOQUE's arms. Since those cards have different damage values, pay attention to how much damage Snake will deal in accordance with his cost before attacking. Snake needs at least 50 cost if using M47 Dragon cards and needs at least 34 cost if using Super Dragon cards. If his cost is too low to destroy either of KODOQUE's arms, just accumulate more cost.

Once Snake has shot both of KODOQUE's arms off, end his turn without using an Extra Turn/Extra Turn+ card. Continually end Venus's turn until KODOQUE gets a turn. KODOQUE can troll and use the laser attack after both arms are destroyed. Ideally it bends down and prepares an ultimate attack. Have Venus finish it off by using mulligans and firing FIM-92A/C cards. MISSION COMPLETE.

Move Snake 2 blocks North to bring Chaigadiel within range of an attack. As an alternative, you can reference Snake's ATK value with the Dragon Card before actually firing it to ensure that enough damage is dealt. Prioritize Double Action+Cost at the start of every turn to raise the cost of all cards before using them.

On Normal, it's questionable whether you should add M47 to your deck.

Snake will utilize the Infinite Deck to defeat Vince. He does not need to move from the starting position. Again, utilize Double Action+Cost as early in each turn as possible to accumulate cost more rapidly.

Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

Snake will utilize the Infinite Deck to defeat Metal Gear. He does not need to move from his starting position.

After destroying the first 3 targets, a cutscene will play that you need to skip.

The first 3 targets have 700 HP, the 4th has 500, and the 5th has 600/700 on Easy/Normal.

Snake needs at least 47 cost if using the Super Dragon card on any of the targets throughout the fight, or at least 70 cost if using M47 Dragon cards. A short cutscene will play after you've destroyed the first three targets. Defeat two more to finish the fight. Mash start or square to skip the cutscene. MISSION COMPLETE.

VENUS’S DECK: Deck Size: 30

Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

Move Snake to the corner railing on the East side of the stage. Ideally this is done with a Running Man+, as it takes 8 moves. Venus will run up to Snake and Punch him. Her turn will cost 8, so keep your cost below this if possible! Once Venus is adjacent to him from the West, use Punch to knock her off the balcony.

If you end at the position above 8 cost, she will Punch you again. It's important you have 3 cards in your hand if this happens, or else she will KO Snake. This loses a fair amount of time as you wait for Snake to wake up. If you end at the position about 16 cost, she will Punch you three times, so mulligan in this situation to get 4 cards in hand. When Snake stands back up, immediately Punch her to knock her off the balcony.

MISSION COMPLETE. Mash start or square to skip the cutscene.

• 22.31 from end turn to 1 Punch Venus

NO DECK CHANGES

Use Raiden+ cards to flip across the gap to the west platform. If you can easily get another Raiden+, clear the gap to the north platform. If not, take the crawl by using a non-movement card if possible. If the turret shoots Snake, it won't shoot Venus. There is a patrol bot blocking a ladder that must be knocked out of the way using PPK from below. Raiden+ cannot be used to land on the patrol bot.

Climb down the ladder and approach the final two patrol bots guarding the exit from the left. Either PPK from the left or bottom of the left patrol bot. If you PPK from below, make sure to turn with your movement, rather than manually with triangle. Place Snake on the spot created.

Venus will take the right path in the final area, PPK the right sentry from its right side to clear the goal marker.

Venus must destroy all patrol bots to clear the stage. Reinforcements will appear in waves once all the patrol bots on screen are destroyed. There are 7 patrol bots in total. Use the FIM-92B and FIM-92A cards.

MISSION COMPLETE.

Mash through the cutscenes until a cutscene showing Venus and Dr. Takiyama appears on the screen. This cutscene is unskippable. Once it ends, the ending credits will play. After the credits are over, a skippable cutscene showing Snake in bandages will appear. After you've skipped this cutscene, hold triangle to skip the following dialog. RTA ends at the Clear screen that appears. Press Circle to close this screen, then save your cleared file for IGT.
