I tried using the Yoshi guide on gamefaqs.com it was useful, but the Yoshis on the runway during the chase are hard to hit, as is the one at the end when you fight the boss. They are hard to see, let alone hit! I got all Yoshis yp to that point, and gave up, for me that kind of ruins the fun of the game.
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Walkthrough
ALERT! Our revamped walkthrough for Snake Eater will prove most useful on your mission to destroy the Shagohod, once and for all.
Graniny Gorki South
Walk forward into the dark forest. Toggle your thermal goggles as you near the trees: there are plentiful traps in the area. The goggles will help you spot the traps as well as items, creatures, and plants that you can add to your inventory. Find a book in the southwestern area, noodles in the northwestern side, and life medicine in the southeastern corner. Move very carefully and with thermal on to avoid triggering any traps. Stock up on food before exiting through the northern passage.
Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior: Outside Walls
Switch to black face paint and black camouflage for maximum stealth. Get prone and crawl toward the fence. There are several guards patrolling the lab exterior just beyond the fence. Stay down to avoid detection. If you crawl to the far west you’ll find a suppressor for the mk22.
Crawl to the far western side. Move slowly and remain down to stay undetected. Use thermal goggles to detect a hole in the fence to the far left. When guard patrolling the area moves to the right, crawl through and to the left side of the structure ahead.
Snag a suppressor from the M1911A1 and crawl through the hole in the side of the structure and into the next area.
Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior: Inside Walls
Remain on the ground because there are a couple guards nearby. Look to your left and spot a couple guards patrolling near a truck. Wait until the nearest guard moves to the truck and shoot him with a suppressed weapon or you can wait until he’s moving away from you and sneak up behind for a combat move. Observe the next guard’s patrol and use similar tactics: either a suppressed weapon or sneak up behind with a combat move. A third guard patrols the eastern side of the interior walls. Take him down from long-range after clearing the other guards.
Scamper to the northwest corner and find a smoke grenade. Hug the right wall and find the crawlspace into the lab. It leads into the Graniny Gorki Lab 1F but you’re only here to grab a secret item (this isn’t the optimum entrance). Crawl through the tight space and take the first left. Grab the oyama face paint. Return back outside.
In the northeast corner of this exterior area is an armory. Sneak toward the northeast corner and eliminate any remaining guards. Enter the armory and pick up the AK-47 and M37 ammunition, the TNT, and the XM16E1 assault rifle.
Return to the front of the structure and spot the double doors. That’s not the entrance. Look to the right and find the single door around the corner. Switch to no face paint and the scientist uniform that EVA gave you earlier in the game. Now you’re in disguise and ready to infiltrate the lab!
Graniny Gorki Lab 1F
Walk into the lobby and go right. Avoid contact with guards. You won’t be recognized by guards unless you hang around for too long--or accidentally knock them down with an opened door. Just move carefully through the lab.
Take the first right and follow the hall around until you turn back to the north. Enter the first door on the left. Grab several medical supplies, including a bandage, ointment, serum, and suture kit. Steer clear of the scientist here. These scientists are much more astute and uncovering your disguise. Don’t stare at one. If there’s a scientist around, turn away or just leave the area.
Return toward the main lobby at the section start. Find a door to the northern side. Go through the door and through the large chamber. Descend the staircase at the back end.
Graniny Gorky Lab B1 West
Follow the hall to the left and around another left corner. Go through the door on the right side. Careful around the guard! Don’t slam the door in his face or he’ll set off an alert. Search the right side of the room for the cig gas spray--extremely useful in knocking out scientists or guards. Cross the hall into the conference room.
Steer clear of the scientist here. Either knock him out with the cig gas spray or simply avoid him. Search the left locker for the knock out handkerchief--another excellent tool to knock out the lab’s inhabitants using stealth means. Exit through the door in the upper right corner of the room.
Traverse this work area carefully. Several scientists inhabit the room so you’ll need to stay out of their line of vision and keep your back turned when necessary. Find a battery in the back right corner of the room. Also, there’s a suppressor for the XM16E1 in a cubicle on the right side. Exit through the door at the end on the left and advance to the next door to trigger the cut scene.
After the discussion, return through this section of the lab and back up the stairs into Graniny Gorky Lab 1F. Heading toward the lobby, take the hall on the right and back toward where you grabbed the medical supplies. Instead of entering the room that contained the med supplies, continue toward the staircases at the far end of the hall. Check the lockers first to refill your cig gas spray if needed. Though not necessary, take the staircase down to collect a few items.
Graniny Gorky Lab B1 East
Follow the hall to the door on the left. Avoid the guard if he’s moved nearby. Enter the room and pick up the mk22 ammunition and antidote. Search under the desk (while the guard is safely away) for M37 and sniper rifle ammunition. Exit the room.
Continue down the hall and enter the open cell. Crawl under the bed to grab the life medicine when no guards are looking. Return up the stairs to Graniny Gorky Lab 1F and ascend the staircase.
Take the right turn and open the first door on the right into the library. Pick up the mk22 suppressor inside. Exit and take the next door on the right into the bathroom. While no guards are inside the room, punch the far right stall door to break it down. Pick up the fly uniform inside the stall. Exit the bathroom.
Go around the corner to the lockers. Search the left lockers for AK-47 and XM16E1 ammunition. Return near the stairs and go east and around the corner. Search the first door for some food items. Go through the second door to find a book.
Return to the lockers and exit the door just beyond the lockers. Exit onto the balcony at the labs inside walls.
Drop off of the balcony and switch camouflage. You’ve been here before and guards have returned--plus it’s daybreak. Items have also returned so pick up what you’ve grabbed before as you exit through these areas. Switch to woodland face paint and leaf uniform and adjust as needed to remain hidden.
The exit remains in the same place, in the lower left corner of the area. It’s along the left wall just beyond the truck. Either sneak by the patrolling guards or use a suppressed weapon to eliminate each guard one at a time. The two most important are the two near the truck.
Return to the exterior walls. Look around the corner and when it’s clear, crawl under the electrified fence. Hug the southern edge and crawl to the southern passage and out of the area. Keep out of sight as you return to Graniny Gorky South and confront The Fear.
