Metal Gear Solid 3
Part 1
Welcome to the Metal Gear Solid 3 Walkthrough. Note that the choice of difficulty for this Walkthrough is based on Normal which could be the difference in quantity of items, an enemy’s vision, how much life you have, quantity of enemy’s in an area, and how much damage you can tolerate.
Enjoy!
Part 1.1
-Dremuchij South-
*Backpack
(Watch Cutscene)
Depending on what you selected before game play will determine how earlier you will get a particular mask.
To start off, you need to get your backpack that you lost in a tree. Go North until you get a call from Major Tom.
[Watch Cutscene]
You can either go North and go crawl under a log by pressing X, or go North East up a hill until you to an end and slide down a hill. You will see a tree that looks like there are vines wrapping around it. Climb it by pressing Triangle. Then tilt your analog stick to the right to slowly walk over to your backpack hanging on the branch. Press Triangle again once you feel you are above it.

You will now have all of your items. You can now use your weapons to capture animals for food. This is a survival game after all so you won’t too often find rations lying around. Try to make use of your environment to survive in this game and remember to use the Camouflage.
-Dremuchij Swampland-
Crocodiles: 5
There still shouldn’t be any guards at this point, but there will be a few Crocodiles in quicksand. Of course, the crocodiles won’t go into alert, but they do inflict damage so just be careful around them. If you capture them, they should make a good meal. I probably wouldn’t tranquilize them because you should be saving your ammo, but do whatever you want. If you do take damage, you will heal if you stay put somewhere.
Also be careful of the quicksand. I think the best way to deal with it is to roll over it so you kind of jump in a way.
-Dremuchij North-
Soldiers: 4
[Watch Cutscene]
Now there will be a couple of soldiers. There are a few ways you can deal with them. I recommend sneaking past them and use the MK22 if necessary to take them out. If you're a risk taker, you could sneak up behind them and use CQC. Use CQC by sneaking up close to them and without pressing anything alse, hold O.
Just proceed North.
-Dolinovodno-
Soldiers: 4
There will be more soldiers. I think it may be best to wait in the grass at the top of the hill there because there will be more guards coming. One of them will stick around which will be a good opportunity for you to tranquilize both of them. After you put any of them to sleep, you can dump their bodies in the water if you are careful to make sure they don’t get seen later.
Also, going over the bridge can be annoying. So just slightly tilt the left analog stick up to walk on it so you don’t keep falling off.
Proceed to the North West.
Part 1.2
Rassvet 1F
Soldiers: 6
This is the area where you will be rescuing Sokolov. If you check your map in the Start menu, you will see the X of where he is. You can’t get too him when you are in Alert or Evasion however. You are going to have to neutralize some of the guards or just find a way around them. If you ever do get caught, there is a crawl space under the building.
If you want stealth, go ahead and save (the alert won’t be counted unless you enter another area then save) then just hold all the L buttons, Select and Start.
[Watch Cutscene]
Now you need to go back the way you came. Make sure you don’t kill Ocelot (you’ll create a time paradox)!
Head South.
Part 1.3
[Watch Cutscene]
OK don’t panic. As Para-Medic said, she’s seen worse. Follow her instructions on how to treat your wounds. It’s not too hard, just know in the future that if you use recovery too often for small stuff, you may run out of medical supplies when you need them most later.
