Metal Gear: Ghost Babel FAQ Game Mechanics Q: What are the vision ranges of guards, dogs, and cameras? A: You can find visual representations here, from the Japanese guidebook . Guards are a linear column with a peripheral bulge in the middle. Cameras are a linear column that extends slightly outside of the camera's model. You cannot go against the wall to avoid cameras. Dogs have a diamond range around their model, which explains why lines to avoid them are so complicated.

Nikita Skip In Stage 08, we can avoid picking up the Nikita Launcher and visiting the 2nd floor entirely. This saves several minutes and is a key point in the run. Detailed in this page are the multiple methods to perform the skip. Strategy will depend on Rank and difficulty.

Old Rats Room Info * RTA route, loses 40 frames over ideal strategy. * Ideal Rats Room/TAS/MS, can go wrong due to guard behavior * Sometimes the second guard hears the splash early, you need to do an early diagonal! Old Stage 05 Info Up to 15 frames faster than knocking out the guard, just make sure not to knock too close, causing him to go around the way you are going. At the same time, don't knock too far away, causing him to spot you as you go down.

Stage 01 Normal Stage 01 Map by Eishiya Even if you know Stage 01, it's recommended to watch this tutorial to learn the basics of the run. Timecodes * Timing (1:20) * Control (1:50) * Stage 01 (3:58) * AI (6:30) * Alerts (8:30) * On the bridge, it is recommended to hug the right hedge before entering the screen, and do a small zigzag (1 to 2 steps to the right). This avoids getting spotted by the first guard, while running past the final pair of guards. This is a very small frame buff…
