A. INTRODUCTION
===============================================================================
Hello, and welcome to my first FAQ. I decided to start on this FAQ while
waiting for the 5th of May to come, so I can go into college. At least I could
do something productive with my time, other than playing PC games the whole
day. But enough of that. On with the FAQ!
===============================================================================
B. INFO
===============================================================================
This guide will only tell you the easiest (at least for me) way to complete a
VR mission. A way to get the high score WILL NOT be given, unless my method
'accidentally' gives you the high score ^_^. I played the game using the
keyboard + mouse combo, as I don't have a gamepad. Thus, I will only be using
the Thrust attack (R3) as it is fast, and kills easily.
If you want to get more points through the No-kill Bonus, switch to the
non-lethal side (X). The HF Blade should now be blue in the lower-right hand
corner. Then, move your R Stick (the mouse for keyboard users) to whack the
guards senseless. Keep in mind that the Thrust Attack IS STILL DEADLY.
===============================================================================
c. PLAYING TIPS
===============================================================================
Ninja Raiden has poor armour. All it takes are a few bullets to bring him down,
and a Shotgun blast kills instantly, even at full life. Make sure the Block
button (L2) is held down when you are under enemy fire. However, it is still
inadvisable to rush headlong into combat as the Block can't deflect all the
bullets. So, here is a cheap strategy to take down those pesky guards.
(Please forgive the crappy ASCII art)
LEGEND: O Ninja Raiden
X A generic guard
________ ?
| | X
| |
| |
|______|
O Bonk!
1. You knock (Y) the wall, attracting the guard. His vision cone should turn
yellow.
________
| | |
| | |
| | |
|______| |
O X
2. He walks toward you, and when you get him within range...
________
| |
| |
| |
|______|
O-->X YEEARGH!
3. Thrust Attack him! And if you attract more guards because of his screams,
consider it to be a bonus!
This trick can be done anywhere, as long as the enemy has to turn a corner to
get to you. Replace Thrust Attack with the Non-Lethal Attack(described above)
if you want the No-kill Bonus. No damage, no Alerts. Easy.

b. ALTERNATIVE MISSIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
======================
bA) BOMB DISPOSAL MODE
======================
NOTES: There will be two types of bombs in the levels. One is detected using
Sensor A (NorBomb), and the other using Sensor B (ProxBomb). Bomb A is
harmless. Bomb B, however is a proximity bomb, meaning that it you get
too close to it, BOOM! Mission Failed. So, keep Sensor B equipped at all
times and pay close attention to the frequency of the beeps.
LEVEL 1
-------
Kill the guy right in front of you. Go up and left into the room where the
President was in the normal game. Hear that beeping? Go left from the door,
and stop when you hear the beeps becoming very fast. A ProxBomb is in the air
vent. Crouch down in 1st-person view (1PV) to spray it.
One more to go. Exit the room and head down. Go left, down the stairs. Be
careful! Another ProxBomb is near. Kill the sleeping guard, and the second one
that follows. Busybody. Climb on top of the first level of containers in the
middle of the room. The ProxBomb is in the air vent in front of you.
LEVEL 2
-------
Go out the door, and hang over the railing. Wait for the guard to pass, then
drop down. Then, head up, hang over the railing and drop down again. Go down.
Wait for the guard to pass then go left down the stairs. A ProxBomb is on a
small crate to your right. Spray it.
Switch to Sensor A. Go down, and left. Go up the first small flight of stairs.
Ignore the long one. Go straight up and wait for the guard to the left of you
to stop. Kill him. If you attract the other one at the top, run down and kill
him as well. You should now be at a place with a big rectangular container in
the middle. Go to the lower-left corner, face down and switch to 1PV. The
NorBomb should be in front of you.
LEVEL 3
-------
Go left into the torture chamber. A ProxBomb awaits you at the base of the
torture machine. Go right, and right again into the Jejunum.
Knock knock, YEEARGH! Go up the stairs to your right. Introduce the Tengu up
there to your blade. Head up until you reach a gap. Switch to 1PV, and look up.
A ProxBomb is attached to the lower jaw of a Metal Gear Ray.
Head left across the bridge, go all the way up, killing as you see fit. Go down
the stairs to your left, slowly. As you are near the bottom, switch to 1PV. A
nasty ProxBomb is attached to the outer wall to the right of the stairs. Do
what you must.
LEVEL 4
-------
Rush left and shish kabob those two poor guards. The other one above should not
have noticed this slaughter. Now, go up the stairs they were sitting on, using
the LEFT side. Then, go towards the left door, but do not enter it. face right
and switch to 1PV. A ProxBomb is attached to the wall above, near the right
door. Spray it, and exit left to to Crew's Quarters.
Go up, right, down and all the way around, killing guards as you go. At the
bottom-most corridor, just as you are about to head back up, switch to 1PV and
look up. A ProxBomb is attached near the top of the doorway. Spray it. Then
head up and left. Turn the wheel and out you go into(?) the rainy Aft Port.
Switch to Sensor A. Go down, down the stairs, further down, and turn right.
Head up the next flight of stairs, which leads to a small area with a pole and
some lines. Climb on top of the... err... box, face left, switch to 1PV
and look up the pole. A NorBomb is attached to it. Spray.
Go back down the stairs and head back up, and enter the door to the Crew's
Quarters again. Go up the stairs. Head all the way right and kill the guard.
Go to the upper-right corner of the room, face down, and switch to 1PV. A
NorBomb is attached to the side of the upper crate, facing the wall. Spray.
Switch back to Sensor B. Go back left and head up the stairs. Wait for the
two guys in the canteen to face left. Crash in and stick your blade through
them. Go up into the kitchen, and left. STOP in front of the first oven you
pass. Crouch. Go into 1PV and look up to your right. A ProxBomb is in the
grille (I'm not sure what its called). Spray.
LEVEL 5
-------
Switch to Sensor A. Then, quickly run left, up and dispatch the guard. The
guard inside should be alerted. Go back down and wait for him to come out.
Kill him. Go into the room. Exit via the above door. Turn left and down into
the Camera Corridor. Go under the camera and head down bit by bit until you
are just out of the camera's range. Crouch down and whip out your Coolant.
Spray around the piped area to YOUR RIGHT until you hear the 'tac tac tac'
sound of a NorBomb being defused. Focus your Coolant on that area until the
bomb is defused.
Switch back to Sensor B and head up to the BC Bridge. Wait for the Cypher to
go away. Then, run up and kill the guard. Go back down and right to the
destroyed bridge. Stop just before you pass the railing. Crouch, switch to 1PV
and look down. A ProxBomb is on the right, attached to some bars.
Switch to Sensor A. Damned Cypher. Now you're under Alert. Go up and enter
the Dining Hall. Go into one of the toilets. You have two choices: Kill the
attack squad as the come in, or hide in one of the stalls. Your call. Evasion
should come up soon. Go up, killing the guard as you pass, turn right, and
enter the door to the kitchen. As soon as you enter the door, turn left and
spray the box with a NorBomb inside.
Go back out and exit right to the CD Bridge. Go down the stairs and run all the
way right, knocking out some loose floor plates. When you reach the other end,
stick to the wall and inch yourself left to the nearest platform. Face right,
crouch and look down. A NorBomb is attached to the underside of the floor.
Spray.
Switch back to Sensor B. Inch yourself right again, go up the stairs and right
into the Sediment Pool. Wait for the guard in the middle to turn away. Then,
quickly go down the stairs, turn right and head down. Hang over the right
railing, and drop down (A), but quickly tap the (Y) button rapidly the instant
you drop down until you hand on to the railing below. Haul yourself back up.
Kill if you need to. Head up. The ProxBomb is on the ceiling, near the stairs.
Spray, and you're done!
LEVEL 1
-------
Run down and kill the first guard there. Then, run all the way right and kill
the guard on the far right. Go down the stairs and kill the guards on the left.
Make sure your Guard is up. Head right on the bottom floor for the exit.
LEVEL 2
-------
Straightforward. Just go right and all the way around, killing guards as you
make your way to the exit.
LEVEL 3
-------
Go right and down the stairs. Kill the two guards at the bottom. Move all the
way right and wait under the stairs as another guard comes to investigate.
Kill him. Then go up and take out the last guard.
LEVEL 4
-------
Wait for the guard at the bottom to turn around. Then move down, right and
kill the guard. You should now be in Alert. Yeah. Go rightand stop at the
junction. Wait for two Shotgun guards to come. Kill them both. Now go down and
left to kill the remaining guard.
LEVEL 5
-------
Go right and down. Wait for the guard on the left to stop, then kill him. Kill
the guard at the bottom. Go down and left. Kill the guard. Go up. Kill. The
last one is all yours.
LEVEL 6
-------
Wait for the two guards to spin around. Then quickly move left and kill the one
at the top. Go down and left. Wait for the guard to enter the room, then rush
in and kill them both. Wait until the Shotgun guard outside stops in front of
the door, then quickly go out and kill him. Do some knocking and kill the guard
that comes. Go up and kill. Knock at the corner to attract one guard. Kill.
Knock again. Kill again. Take out the last one with style.
LEVEL 7
-------
Wait for the guard at the top to turn left. Then rush up and kill him. You
should have done this near the door, before he enters the room. A guard inside
will be attracted. as soon as he is in front of you, kill him. Then, wait for
the guard at the bottom to patrol downwards. YEEARGH! Wait by the stairs and
kill the busybody. Go left, down the stairs and up another flight of stairs.
Wait there for the guard to come out and walk in front of you. Kill. Go left
and hinde behind the crates. Knock. Kill. A shielded guard will come down.
Knock. Kill. Two more left. One is an easy AK guard, while another is a Shotgun
guard. Still, I don't think they will pose any problems. Next!
LEVEL 8
-------
Knock, knock, YEEARGH! The guy above should be alerted and calls for backup.
While none will actually arrive, this knocks out your radar, so kill him before
he completes his call. Stand behind the crates and knock furiously. By now, the
remaining 5 guards will be homing in on your position. Take your time and kill
them one by one.
LEVEL 9
-------
Try to create an Alert, so all the Tengus will be out for your blood. When this
happens, go to the huge container near your starting point and wait at the
lower right corner. Pick them off at your leisure.
LEVEL 10
--------
Go out and down the stairs. Stop as soon as you leave the stairs. Let the guard
on the left spot you. He WILL shoot you and cause some damage, but that's OK.
Wait until he causes an Alert. After he does, kill him and run into the small
hiding place to the right. Wait patiently for the guards to arrive one by one.
When you're done, there should be only one left. Go left, up, head down the
stairs. Take the Thermal Goggles at the lower left end of this platform and
equip them. The last guard is invisible. Go left, down the stairs, down, left,
and up the stairs once. The last guard is on the left. Have fun!
