His movement will be delayed for a faster 2nd dogtag.\\ After that go left and meet the first guard to get this dogtag. Afer that, follow up the stairs to meet the 2nd guard.\\ After having acquired the 2nd dogtag move on to the right and drop from the top behind or next to the third guard. \\ Hold him up, bump into him to get to his front and after grabbing the 3rd dogtag, move inside into Deck B. ====Deck B, crew's quarters==== Enter the room, get ready to skip the cutscene on walking in the shot hallway path.\\ You can tranq or hold up this guard, but you can't get his dogtag yet, as he is a tough guy,\\ that won't be threatened by your M9. We will come back after Olga once we acquired the Socom. ====Deck C, crew's quarters==== Just follow the room and go up the stairs. ====Deck D, crew's quarters (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |010|Deck-D, crew's quarters|Walking right/Judo Toss guard| {{youtube>6FcgyAIjvxs?}} On entering the room, walk right towards the pantry. If you're brave you can do a roll under the lasers.\\ Alternatively you can crawl under the lasers and speed up by quickly unequipping and equipping the M9.\\ Hold up the guard and get his dogtag, then walk up the stairs towards the Deck-E. ====Deck E, the bridge==== ====Olga (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |000|Navigational deck, wing|After Olga fight| [[mgs2_boss_olga|See here for how to do the Olga boss fight.]] After having fought Olga, simple grab Olga and let go to get her dogtag. {{youtube>xgv6wliiDKI?}} =====To Guard Rush===== ====Navigational Deck, wing (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |004|Navigational deck, wing|After Olga fight right door| After grabbing Olga's dogtag, go right and walk south past the left door to Deck-E, to meet the 2nd guard. ====Deck E, the bridge==== It is recommended to grab the Socom ammo pack in the top right corner of the room. ====Deck D, crew's quarters (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |011|Deck-D, crew's quarters|Pantry guard, **Tough guy**| {{youtube>xoxXxpsauYc?}} Walk down the stairs and turn right, shoot the laser sensor and kill the guard.\\ Walk into the pantry to have the pantry guard spawn. This guard is a tough guy.\\ Walk back outside and get to the stairs that leave the Deck-D to Deck-C.\\ Hold up the pantry guard and threaten him with a Socom shot over his head.\\ ====Deck C, crew's quarters==== Simply walk down and left to leave to the Deck-B level. Ignore the alert. ====Deck B, crew's quarters (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |006|Deck-B, crew's quarters|Window, **Tough guy**| {{youtube>41IGHw0LL1c?}} Walk down the stairs and be quick. You want the window guard's attention so he notices you as you walk into his left side corner.\\ Be sure to not get an alert, or else you have to leave the room and come back to try again.\\ As the guard is walking left, wait at the corner to hold him up and threaten him with a Socom shot over his head to get his dogtag.\\ Continue to the Deck-A Crew lounge. ====Deck A, crew's lounge (2)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |008|Deck-A, crew's lounge|Smelly Guard| |009|Deck-A, crew's lounge|Stairs guard| {{youtube>n3vFGP_sHFY?}} Walk down the stairs at the left side of the railings to not get spotted.\\ Hold up the glas guard. While holding him up, you can either lean left of the guard,\\ or put your weapon down to get to the Socom and shooting the floor or wall behind that guard.\\ The goal is the get the stinky guard's attention so he starts walking up, saving you time.\\ After you received the glas guard's dogtag, put him to sleep with the M9 and walk left to meet the stinky guard.\\ Get the stinky guard's dogtag and then leave south to go to Deck-A Port. ====Deck-A, Crew's Quarters, Port (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |005|Deck-A, crew's quarters, Port|Hallway, **Tough guy**| {{youtube>ysFLFr6tVM0?}} Simply follow the path and get to the guard at the end of the right side of the hallway.\\ Get your socom out and threaten this tough guy to give up his dogtag.\\ After that continue right to re-enter Deck-A crew lounge. ====Deck A, crew's lounge (1)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |007|Deck-A, crew's lounge|Snoozing Guard| {{youtube>gGW43B_VDPQ?}} Enter the room and turn left to get the snoozing guard's attention and simply use the M9 to get his dogtag.\\ Afterwards leave to the engine room to the right.\\ **Note: You can NOT do Prozac Skip to enter the engine room, as you will lose the guard who is fixing the left engine room door and his dogtag.** ====Engine Room (5)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |015|Engine Room|First downstairs guard| |016|Engine Room|Light guard| |017|Engine Room|Binocular guard| |018|Engine Room|First Rail guard| |019|Engine Room|Door fixer| {{youtube>P5WIMA3f9Tc?}} The longest stretch of getting dogtags.\\ The first guard is simple to hold up on entering the engine room, bump into him and turn around with auto aim.\\ Switch to FPV and hold the M9 into his face and he will drop his dogtag.\\ The next guard is on the level below. Depending on how fast you got the first dogtag, you can either walk south first\\ down the stairs and run after him, or you have to wait for him to walk past you, so you can sneak up to the guard.\\ Get his dogtag and walk south over the railing to drop down to the light guard.\\ This guard either looks left or right, use the radar to be sure to avoid detection, hold him up and get his dogtag.\\ Follow now the path through the engine room up the left central stairs to meet the binocular guard.\\ Simply bump into the guard to get between him and the railings to acquire his dogtag.\\ Finally, walk up the rest of the engine room and roll into the cutscene trigger to have the door being repaired.\\ If you're fast, you can shoot out the one engine room bomb sensor and THEN walk back to the now repaired door.\\ Alternatively you can first go south and get the dogtag from this guard and then take care of the sensors. ====Deck 2, port (3)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |012|Deck 2, port|Walking towards you| |013|Deck-2, port|Headphone guard| |014|Deck-2, port|Sleepy guard| {{youtube>7fmkS189BDc?}} The first guard is your critical guard.\\ Walk up and watch a video reference to know when to distract the guard.\\ Either shoot to his side with the M9 so he will be turned.\\ Alternative you can shoot the guard with the socom twice, then hold him up as you almost walk through him.\\ After you got this dogtag, walk further up and get to the 2nd guard that listens to his music.\\ Do a PPK to time yourself, then hold up the music guard and get his dogtag. While he shakes off,\\ you can get the extra socom ammo to his left. Alternatively if you're fast, when holding up the first guard and getting his dogtag, you can walk further up,\\ to trigger the music guard earlier. After having acquired the 2nd dogtag, you can get the final dogtag from the snoozing guard.\\ Simply walk up and hold him up, get the dogtag and leave to the right. ====Starboard-A==== Simply follow the path. ====Guard Rush==== [[mgs2_boss_guard_rush|See here for Guard Rush tactics.]] =====Tanker Holds===== ====Hold No.1 (2)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |020|Hold No. 1|Guarding high Hold No.2 door|Excluded| |021|Hold No. 1|Projector Guard|Excluded| {{youtube>2nOS-noLWGc?}} Perform [[mgs2_ladder_glitch|your preferred method]] to go down the two ladders.\\ Walk left to meet the projector guard and get his dogtag. After acquiring the dogtag,\\ roll into the guards and get a continue. After continuing your dogtag acquisition will persist.\\ === Fast Holds 1 via Ladder Glitch (all platforms)=== For the 2nd guard, you preferably need to use the ladder glitch to move through the Holds 1 faster.\\ But you can also just hang from the ledge and get to that top right guard at the door that holds your 2nd dogtag.\\ For performing the ladder glitch for just one level, have the M9 equipped and start the glitch as usual.\\ By doing a ppk and equipping the camera, then press triangle to get on the ladder.\\ Afterwards just mash triangle (easy pace) and hold dpad forward. You should be now at the middle level of the ladders.\\ Now you can perform another ladder glitch, this time just get on the ladder. (ppk + camera + triangle).\\ This will have Snake hop forward. You can hop with this method to the end of the Holds 1 to meet the door guard.\\ Make sure the guard is walking left, by waiting for shooting with the M9 to distract him. Technically you are out of bounds.\\ Once you're inside the little walking stage, the guard can acknowledge you again when you hold him up.\\ After having held up the guard, turn to the side and shoot the wall, then hop in front of the guard.\\ Use first person aim to stop in the air, aim with your M9 at the guards head so he drops the dogtag.\\ Shoot the guard and hop until you grabbed the dogtag, then leave through the door to return back to normal. ====Hold No.2==== With **FULL** health, hang over the ledge and climb all the way to the end. There is no faster way. ====Hold No.3 (2)==== ^ID^Name^Location^Info^ |022|Hold No. 3|High Level Holds 3 Guard|Excluded| |023|Hold No. 3|MARINES Logo picture guard|Excluded| {{youtube>v3eLQulsucc?}} You have two options here depending on your game version. Games that run in 16x9 can capture two images of Ray here.\\ Right side and marine logo. The right side can just be shot at the head of Ray. The marine logo is his left foot.\\ If playing on a 4x3 resolution version, just take the right side photo and grab the marine logo after getting down at the pipe.\\ There is a specific angle where on 4x3 resolutions the left leg can work as a Marine logo. But further testing for the reliability is required. {{:metal_gear_solid_2:4by3-left-leg-marine-logo-alignment.jpg?400|}} {{:metal_gear_solid_2:4by3-left-leg-marine-logo-confirmation.jpg?400|}} Mainly you can enter first and hold up the guard to get his dogtag, then take the pictures quickly while he shakes off his DT.\\ Follow the path and glide down the pipe, take the marine logo picture if not already done,\\ walk south to meet the next guard at the corner that has your last and final dogtag. After that, grab the last two pictures in the center of the room for the front picture and walk left to get the left side picture.\\ Deliver your photos at the PC and finish tanker. Ideally you finish with the M9 on your previous slot, so you can continue into Plant faster. ---- [[adt_plant_ve|Continue to MGS2 ADT Plant Tutorial]] [[mgs2adt|return to MGS2 ADT overview]] adt_tanker_ve.txt Last modified: 2023/02/15 15:34by hau5test
