Original ng+ route developed, saved for reference and posterity

This strategy is similar to the Cost Reduction Strategy used in the first Ac!d game. The changes from one game to the next are mostly due to the new card limitations implemented in Ac!d 2 as well as the addition of upgraded cards and the Jack card. Use Cost -6, -8, -10, -12, and Jonathan Ingram/Jonathan Ingram+ cards to keep Cost as low as possible (preferably 0). Equip Jack whenever possible so that Snake or Venus receive +1 to movement for three turns. Use Running Man/Running Man+ and Ocelot Unit/Ocelot Unit+ for movements larger than 3 blocks. Use Action++ (Snake only) when Rest is lower than 4. Use Johnny Sasaki/Johnny Sasaki+ or Briefing/Briefing+ if you need better/more cards in your hand. This will be the strategy utilized for the majority of the run.

Again, this strategy is very similar to the Infinite Turn Strategy used in the first Ac!d game. With the introduction of upgraded cards, linkage cards, and the Mr. Sigint card, the ability to maintain the player's turns can be substantially improved. This strategy allows the player to continually prioritize Snake's and Venus's turns over the guards, effectively giving them “infinite turns”. The characters' turns are maintained by prioritizing cards in a certain order - using Extra Turn/Extra Turn+ (at the very least), Action ++ (Snake only), and Double Action/Double Action+Cost. Use Mr. Sigint as early as possible (as long as Rest is plentiful) to enable 3 card drawing. Use Johnny Sasaki/Johnny Sasaki+, Briefing/Briefing+, or Olga G/Olga G+ if you are low on cards in your hand or if you need better cards. If you have enough Rest, use cards you don’t need for movement. This strategy is used for boss fights and some other stages. Refer to the Card Priority below:

CARD PRIORITY:
Double Action/Double Action+Cost
Action++

Mr. Sigint

This strategy is similar to the Infinite Turn Strategy used in the first Ac!d game, but it also utilizes movement cards from the Cost Reduction Deck. With the introduction of upgraded cards, linkage cards, and the Mr. Sigint card, the ability to maintain the player's turns can be substantially improved. This strategy allows the player to continually prioritize Snake's and Venus's turns over the guards, effectively giving them “infinite turns”. The characters' turns are maintained by prioritizing cards in a certain order - using Extra Turn/Extra Turn+ (at the very least), Action++ (Snake only), and Double Action/Double Action+Cost. Action+ Linkage/Action+ Linkage+ are automatically played upon drawing with 0 cost and will increase the rest of the player by one. Use Mr. Sigint as early as possible (as long as Rest is plentiful) to enable 3 card drawing. Use Johnny Sasaki/Johnny Sasaki+, or Briefing/Briefing+ if you are low on cards in your hand or if you need better cards. This strategy is only used by Venus for boss fights and some other stages. Refer to the Card Priority below:

CARD PRIORITY:
Double Action/Double Action+Cost

Mr. Sigint

Sentences that are bold and italic indicate a cutscene that will interrupt Snake’s/Venus’s movement.

To reduce clutter, Venus's deck will only be shown for the stages she is playable.

If Snake and Venus are at least 5 blocks away from all guards or in another room with the doors closed, guards will not receive a turn unless the game is currently in the Alert phase.

If Snake and Venus both incur cost and then reduce to zero on their first turns of a stage, all guards that are 5 blocks or more away from each character will receive 4 cost.

If a guard spots Snake or Venus and then moves in the same turn or on their next turn, all other guards will receive +4 cost.

If Snake or Venus accumulate 1028 cost or more, the game will softlock.

Even with Quick Mode (Always) enabled in options, the game will speed up if you press triangle after Snake's or Venus's turn.

Advance to the goal by running behind the guard.

With one GRU card, move North 3 blocks and enter crawl mode. On the next Rest, move North through the vent, stand again once Snake is through it, and advance to the goal.

Move 2 blocks North, press Snake against either the left or right wall and knock, then move towards the goal on the opposite side from which wall you knocked on. After the guard has moved around the other side, advance to the goal.

Immediately use an M1911a1 card to kill the guard. If it misses, use the other M1911a1 card in your hand.

Use a GRU card to move up the ladder and then two blocks East. Equip an M16a2 card and end Snake's turn. On the next turn, use another M16a2 on the equipped card to kill the guard.

On Snake's first turn, use a card that brings his cost up to at least 4, then reduce it to zero. This will bring the cost of all the patrol bots in the area up to 4. Don't spend more than 4 cost in the area and advance to the subgoal.

Immediately head through the door to the East. Once you end a movement into the following room, a short cutscene will play. Move through the door to the Northwest. Climb up the ladder in the pink room, move past the patrol bot, and head through the door to the East. If the bot prevents you from climbing the ladder due to an alert phase in the previous section, just wait for it to move. Once through the door, run North 4 blocks and enter crawl mode.

If Snake doesn't have KODOQUE+ in his first hand, mulligan and reduce cost to zero. If Venus has KODOQUE+ in the first or second hand (bear in mind that she has 3 Rest), 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 and reduce cost to zero. 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.

VENUS’S DECK: Deck Size: 30

Considering how large the starting area is, it's really important to keep cost to zero as much as possible on this stage. For Snake's and Venus's first turn, incur cost and reduce it to zero without moving so that every guard in the area will have at least 4 cost.

Proceed to the first guard and use Punch to knock him out, 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 (Raiden and Punch will be useful here). Advance to the subgoal to the North.

In this subarea, Venus needs Stealth+ and Solid Snake(MGS2)+ equipped. If they're not equipped, mulligan at the entrance to the room until you have them both equipped. Only Venus needs to get to the goal. Move her up the ladder. If the shielded unit prevents her from being able to hang off the railing where the orange flooring is, use Punch on him until he is knocked out and/or out of the way. Hang on the railing and drop down. Advance to the ladder on the Southwest side. You will either need to use Raiden or Punch the guard standing in front of the ladder. Do not move to the block where the oil spill is, or Venus will lose her equipped cards.

Once Venus is up the ladder, either use a Raiden card to land on the flamethrower unit, or run up to him 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.

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. It should now bend down and prepare an ultimate attack. Have Venus finish it off by keeping cost to zero and using FIM-92B and FIM-92A cards.

Use Raiden+ cards to flip across the gap to either platform (West or North of the corner railing by the start of the stage). Ideally, you'll have each character move to a different platform so that you don't waste time moving a character out of the way for the other character to flip to the same platform. After each character has flipped across the first gap, now have each of them use another Raiden+ to flip to the platform in the Northwest. There is a patrol bot blocking a ladder that must be knocked out of the way using Punch. Raiden+ cannot be used to land on the patrol bot.
