You must alter right guard's path, or kill him. If you do not, you will not be able to get on the elevator quickly (assuming stealth). *If you alter the left guard's path, you must alter it further or kill him. Unaltered, he leaves the elevator area just before the elevator arrives (assuming stealth). *You can use the credits as visual cues for stealth. Head up the left path when CG Artists //Takashi Mizutani and Hideki Sasaki// appear. The final credit is Assistant Director //Yoshikazu Matsuhana.// *Instead of knocking on the wall, you can let the elevator guard exit. This is slower. ====Heliport==== {{youtube>9TssO3PQ8ic?medium}} ---- {{youtube>Uod_CLKT8sE?medium}} *Initial dpad movement is simple and the same on every difficulty to manipulate the Helipad guard *Quick equip Chaff on Heliport Pickup if you performed RAM Manipulation {{ :mgs1:stealthspotheliport.png?direct&300 |}} *Stealthy position at the searchlights ====Tank Hangar==== * Once out of the vent, stand up quickly by pressing triangle and X shortly after another. This will skip the stand up animation play out. {{youtube>K0rW0Z96eJw?medium}} *If you do not hold up on the analog for the Miller call, Snake will stop crawling. Be sure to move forward on the analog stick at the end of the call, so you won't stop. Feel free to switch to Dpad afterwards if you prefer. *You can run straight to the elevator and hope the elevator is fast, saving a chaff grenade for later. This strategy is reliant on good luck, or else you will be spotted. *If you do get spotted, crawling under the Tank is a good hiding place. *You can also throw the guard approaching the elevator, but it is slower and harder. {{youtube>dQOMz6f8dro?}} =====Cell===== ===Easier method to Vent Glitch - holding buttons=== hold triangle, hold dpad up, let go of triangle, hold X, let go of dpad up and x once standing {{youtube>tgIlIlxwWpg?medium}} ---- {{youtube>qEvLpYzDEFo?medium}} ---- {{youtube>fpBVZJ9hSF8?medium}} *Hold up and triangle, release both, then press X to clip the vent.

Notice how I wait until Snake completely turns down after I pickup the PSG1. If you don't wait, you'll bump into the lasers on the right. ---- {{youtube>7vWyZWB0KkQ?medium}} Hold The Elevator Strategy (Any%) * Time: 24.067 seconds (Timed at 60fps from HUD appearing to HUD disappearing.) * This is risky and also uses a chaff. * On average Snake will get shot twice, once from the 2nd guard and the other while in the PSG1 room. * The most important part to this is getting the Alert from the first guard. Getting an Alert while the elevator is open keeps the elevator open for the duration of the Alert. ====Canyon==== {{youtube>_8vkQoioxn8?medium}} ====Nuke Building 1F==== {{youtube>5zu6DP8Z4ew?medium}} *Analog Buffer is equip chaff immediately, PP, P *DPad Buffer is equip chaff immediately, upleft at 3rd shadow, go along the wall. ====Nuke Building B1/Commander's Room==== {{youtube>ULkkEbTAC4M?medium}} *It's more valuable to pick up the Nikita on Normal than Easy, due to ammo needs ====Cave==== {{youtube>VKjd5tHs4Us?medium}} *If you are new, use the handkerchief/scarf to avoid getting attacked === Vent Glitch Hold Method === {{youtube>tgIlIlxwWpg?medium}} ====Communications Tower A==== {{youtube>bgb5YK5Y3eU?medium}} Boba Skip - 50% successrate on first try Chaff/Stun damage alignment - click picture for fullscreen {{:mgs1:alignment.jpg?direct&400|}} [[mgs1_info_dump|More infos about Boba skip can be found here]] Further info on the old glitchless Tower A can be found in [[glitchless|Glitchless]] =====Communications Tower B Ascent===== {{youtube>03ie2R7qHRo?medium}} *To summarize the Weapon Glitch: lay down, equip weapon 1, take damage, unselect/select item (L1), press and hold Triangle, Mash buttons/directions, Hold R2 when Snake stands up, equip weapon 2. {{ :mgs1:otacontrigger.png?direct&400 |}} *Otacon Cutscene Trigger *"Position your thumb at 10 o'clock while climbing the stairs, and 7 o'clock when descending.
