This route is a work in progress, there may be improvements in the future

Strategies assume No M9

19 out of 33

• It may be faster to get Li's tag on the stairs, but waiting for him to come down the stairs is safer and consistent
• While waiting on the vent guard to drop his tag, begin SOCOM ammo depletion to generate a magazine for the Prozac Skip on the Darpa Chief prison door

• If you still have SOCOM ammo left, deplete the rest while waiting for Arthur to drop his tag to generate a magazine for the Prozac Skip on the Darpa Chief prison door

• It is faster to get these guards later during the PSG1-T backtrack and/or after the torture room, although getting both before the Nikita is only about a 4-5 second time loss

• If getting both tags here, be sure to press the elevator button again after getting Navid's tag as it keeps the elevator door open longer

• Choking Meryl is the fastest way to knock her out, if you don't want to risk killing her, choke her a few times and then punch her until she's out
• One hit with the nikita is not enough to knock Meryl out, two will do the job

• Unless you grabbed the M9 the best spot to get Meryl's tag is either right after the cutscene before Mantis or right after the Mantis fight

• Don't forget! Return to Mantis's remains to pick up his tag!

• Aiming the SOCOM while waiting for Michael's tag keeps Snake from sneezing, keep Snake in motion on the way to the other two guards to prevent another sneeze

• It is slightly faster to shoot Andy while running towards him instead of distracting him with shots, distracting him is safer

14 out of 33

• Don't forget! Return to Wolf's remains to pick up her tag!
• After you drop her body, roll into her tag and menu to the M9 or Socom to prepare for the Blast Furnace

• Easiest fastest way is to get Jad's tag, then leave to the cargo elevator and immediately return for John and Andrew, doing this puts those two guards in optimal position

• Don't forget! Return to Raven's remains to pick up his tag!

• Return to Warehouse after picking up the PAL Key

• Don't forget! Knock off Liquid to pick up his tag!
• When finished, save your game, load the game from the Dog Tag Viewer in Special, and check your percentage (%)
