Unaltered, he leaves the elevator area just before the elevator arrives. *You can use the credits as visual cues. Head up the left path when CG Artists //Takashi Mizutani and Hideki Sasaki// appear.

For beginners, you can wait for the explosion to happen first,\\ then send another grenade in. Ideally you develop a rythmic feeling for how long you have to wait before Raven,\\ will be out of his i-frames. Here is an example for a more advanced strategy by Setharooni: {{youtube>eH77BkXzuIM?}} In this example, Snake runs up first and holds the weapon and crouch key to immediately skip all cutscenes and start walking.\\ Then tossing the first pre-cooked grenade at Raven which should quickly explode, followed up by a fresh grenade.\\ After the first two grenades like that, you can use GME once again for safety and can wait out the i-frames of Raven to continue. Alternatively you can also always use the glitchless/console strategy with the Nikita weapon around the corner as seen in this guide:\\ {{youtube>-E7dIGL-eyo?medium}} [[mgs1_bosses#vulcan_raven|Vulcan Raven Boss Subpage]] ====Warehouse North==== ====Underground Base (Rex's Lair)==== {{youtube>TD1SoX-Xfc4?medium}} [[https://youtu.be/l585YcFI7Y0?t=1527|Convinience update utilizing SWIM for first frame ladder interaction]] ===Underground Base 2=== ====Underground Base 3==== =====Drainage Ditch PAL Key (10+ Alerts)===== {{youtube>zrohYO-J6m8?medium}} *There are 7 spots the PAL Key (and Bomb) can spawn *This only happens if you have 10 or more Alerts before entering the room {{:mgs1:map.png?400|}} ====Rat and Room Temperature (Yellow)==== {{youtube>32lCQ1Yw8mI?medium}} *The rat can hear you shoot regardless of distance, so unequip with R1 to avoid this.
