If you get lost, improvise based on the situation and develop your own backup strategies. If you can't really understand what is going on or where you are, suicide and restart from the checkpoint. If you are afraid of softlocking, make a save and softreset if needed. I'm going to assume you already know the layout of the levels, so I'm not gonna explain anything that is not essential towards the end of each area or I would need to make a gigantic wall of text and nobody really wants to read that. The movements indicated for each area are built up for consistency, therefore can be easily changed towards speed or personal preference. Knowing how to equip items and weapons is essential, so memorize the rules and remember them at all times. Weapons will be always in this order: Socom, Famas, Granades, Nikita, Stinger, Claymores, C4, Stuns, Chaffs, PSG1. You should also always remember that if you have a weapon equipped there will always be an empty slot below it. If you are unsure about your current weapon, remember that you can use the Socom as a test by trying to equip it and aim. Item menus are pretty strange and the empty slots can change position depending on what you equipped before. Always remember that the card will always be 1 slot below if you don't have it equipped and that the last item equipped (besides the card) will always be 1 slot above the card. If you need to equip Rations but you're not sure where they are you can cicle all the items and press Circle on each one, the Ration (besides the Ketchup) is the only consumable in the game and will always make a very unique sound, but if you lack even a tiny amount of health you will use it so be careful. You can also tell if you have a Box equipped or not if you can move but cannot use any weapon. There are a lot of unexpected corners that can trap you in a blindfolded run, be sure to practice them a lot because you probably never noticed them before by playing the game normally. KEY WORDS: "PPK" = Punch Punch Kick "X until Y" = Do a specific action/movement until a precise sound plays or object is reached. "X into Y" = Start doing a specific action/movement and quickly change to the second one. Usually used for corners. "Semi-run animation" = Animation where Snake starts running, but stops right afterwards. Happens only in very small corners, usually door ones. ====Dock==== Left until wall, Up until wall, Crawl while holding up, Mash X until stand up, PPK buffer, Up for 1 second, Right until wall, Tap Up, Up until puddle noise (the guard on the right should be investigating it), Left/down-left until wall (if you flat too early you are in the wrong wall), Up until wall, Flat on it and push up-left until corner, 6 single punches facing down, Reposition right, Wait for yawn, Right until wall (if the yawn comes too late it means you lured out the wrong guard before), Wait until the guard on the right gets away, Up until wall (use soundtrack as audio cue to start moving up, as long you don't get discovered and don't lure the guard on the left side you're fine), Tap left, 10 single punches facing left, Check if you are in the right position by flatting on the walls above and below you, Tap left and wait for the elevator to touch the ground, Left into Up-left until elevator. ====Heliport==== Mash the first and second codec sequences with X, use the background wind noises and the sound the codec does when changing interlocutor to understand when the third codec sequence is playing. At that point finish mashing that one with the O button, so you don't skip it immediately and end up crouching. When you hear footsteps, skip the cutscene and get ready to move.
