Since this guide only covers a very small part of the game the guide is very
short, and in effect, this allowed me to complete the entire guide in one day.
==============================================================================
02) Introduction
==============================================================================
The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 is basically just a documentary of the
production and development of MGS2. It includes trailers, production footage,
game scripts and ideas, character and area models, and the whole shebang of
information about just about everything you would want to know about how MGS2
was made. One additional feature that they threw in were some missions from
the next MGS game MGS2: Substance. This really wasn't much of anything
compared to the size of the actual game but it was enopugh to hold most people
over until the game came out, and as an added addition with a game save of the
missions on your memory card when you play Substance you have access to every
single mission in the game. Also, this disc was included with the purchase of
Substance in Europe as a reward for waiting a few weeks after the US release
of the game. Just in case you don't know this guide covers the missions that
came with the game.
==============================================================================
03) Missions
==============================================================================
This guide assumes that you have played MGS2 and if you haven't go do it now.
So that means that you must no the controls, weapons, items, guard
intelligence and the rest of that stuff. The scores for the mmissions take
into account how long you took to complete the mission, your remaining ammo,
accuracy, and whether you have killed a guard or not.
MAP SYMBOLS
-----------
_ and | indicate an impassable barrier such as the edge of the level or a wall.
S is for a set of stairs.
G is for goal.
C stands for camera.
M9 is obviously to show the location of the M9 or ammo.
1, the numbers stna dfor the loactions of various guards or targets in a level.
X means that I am telling you stand at that spot.
V shows the location of a vent opening.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Mission 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character : Snake
Type : Sneaking
Time : 2:00
High Scores : 1 - 13000
2 - 12000
3 - 11000
Immediately at the beginning run up to the guard at position 1 and flip him. Now
wait for the guard in the middle to get to position 2 and then run past him to the
goal before he has time to turn around and spot you. The guards on either side
of the level are of no relevance.

3.2 Mission 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character : Snake
Type : Weapon - Handgun
Time : 1:30
Targets : 12
High Scores : 1 - 18000
2 - 16000
3 - 14000
Make note of these facts, if you shoot two or more targets within three seconds
of the last one that was detroyed then there will be an additional point bonus
for each target that you can shoot within 3 seconds of the last, you can string
togather all 12 targets if you move fast enough. Point rewards will be higher
the closer to the center of the target you shoot. The very center is 500
points, the next area is 50, and the very outermost part is 10. Use FPV to
aim better.
Immediately when the game starts hold the lock-on button and get the first
three targets at positions 1, 2, and 3. Then look over and shoot the target at
4. Now look towards position 5 and you should see the next three targets lined
up next to each other with a little vertical difference. After those three are
eliminated there will be two more targets at positions 1 and two, once again
these can be easily dispatched with the help of the lock on button. Now, the
last three targets are at positions 8, 9, and 10. So look up and to the left
to shoot those targets.
MAP
I am not drawing out all of those little platforms so here is a basic map that
works just as well.

3.3 Mission 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character : Raiden
Type : Eliminate All
Time : 3:00
Guards : 4
High Scores : 1 - 18000
2 - 17000
3 - 16000
When the leve starts run east and grab the M9. Run up the stairs and stand at
position 'X'. Look down in FPV and slightly to the left. You should see a
guard standing there at position 1. Shoot him in the head, now staying in the
same place look up and to the right, there will be another guard there. Shoot
him and look back down but this time further left, at position 3, a guard will
either be there or will be there very soon. Shoot him and then go to the top
of the stairs on the platform you are standing on. There should be a guard
near the top of the other set of stairs, by the goal. Shoot him in the head,
don't worry, no matter where he is he can't turn around and see you if you
stand where I told you to.

3.4 Mission 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charcater : Raiden
Type : Weapon - HF Blade
Time : 1:30
Targets : 30
High Scores : 1 - 26000
2 - 25000
3 - 24000
There is no map necessary for this so you will not get one. In the beginning
go through the flat area kicking or slashing the targets. Once you get to the
first raised area you will have three targets to take care of. Kick the one in
the middle into the one on the right and slash the target on the left. Flip
over the gap to the next platform, kick the left target into the target on the
platform furthest to the left and slash the last target on here, flip over onto
the stairs. Now there will be three large groupings of targets all can be
quickly eliminated using punches and kicks. Once they are all out the goal
will appear, go to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5 Mission 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character : Snake
Type : Variety
Time : 3:00
Guards : 26
High Scores : 1 - 51000
2 - 50000
3 - 49000
I cannot draw a map for this, since it is so huge and detailed so I will use the
power of my words alone to help you finish this. What I prefer to do for this
level is drop down to the lower level using the hang-drop move and then
crouching, take a pentazemin and for the beginning of the mission I focus most
of my fire on the stairs facing Snake that lead from the middle to the bottom
level. When guards begin to come through to the area around Meryl I just focus
my scope on the area around her and when I see a guard enter my field of view I
fire at him, it takes one shot to stop him so if you can get one shot into him
he will stop for about ten seconds giving you ample time to kill. Try to do
this when there is a large group of guards coming at Meryl, fire a shot into
each of them and then while they have paused slowly pick them off. On an
additional note, make sure you don't shoot Meryl she can die if you shoot her
too much.

05) Conclusion
==============================================================================
Well, this guide should have helped you with the missions that came with this
disc, although most of them were very easy the sniper mission gave a lot of
people a hard time so I hope it helped you there if no where else. This is
right around the time when I shut up and finish the guide.
