 2. Introduction
=================

This guide is for Metal Gear Solid: VR Mission's NG Selection Mode. In 
this guide, there will be help for the different levels of NG Selection 
Mode. On this guide, each level of the mode will have a Game 
Description, the weapons/items the game gives, the Difficulty rating of 
the level, the time limitation of the level and the solution on how to 
beat the level.

If you have been wondering, "Where is this NG Selection Mode?", it is 
under Special Mode, the last option in the mode selection screen. On 
with the guide...

 3. Version History
====================

Version 1.0: - The initial guide, started with a blank page and ended     
               up with this. All level of the NG Selection Mode 
               included. 


==================
 4. NG Selections
==================

[Level 1 - "Claymore Retrieval"] 
Game Description: Retrieve all Claymore mines on this stage.
Items/Weapons Given: Mine Detector

Difficulty: 1

At the start of the game, you will already have a mine detector. Notice 
the yellow things at the radar screen? Those are where the mines are. 
All you need to do is to crawl down (By pressing the X Button to squat 
and the D-Pad buttons to crawl. Crawl and get all the mines then head 
for the goal.

Time Limit To Clear Stage: 00:30:00


[Level 2 - "World's Smallest Stage"]
Game Description: Eliminate the enemy soldier and head for the goal!
Items/Weapons Given: Grenade 

Difficulty: 2

This stage is quite difficult, as you cannot get spotted. But it can be 
clear easily if you do things right. At the start of the stage, go all 
the way to the right (this is a very small stage) and throw a grenade 
up. Use any of the heights (the tall black thing) for cover. Once the 
soldier dies, head for the goal.

Time Limit To Clear Stage: 00:30:00


[Level 3 - "Cardboard Box"]
Game Description: Head for the goal without being seen by enemy 
soldiers!
Items/Weapons Given: Cardboard Box A

Difficulty: 2

This stage is quite tricky. The enemy has very good eyesight. He can 
see you from where he is to where you are. At the start, just hide 
under your cardboard box. When the soldier looks up, go forward as much 
as you can. When he looks back, he will notice you and say a phrase, 
"Huh? What's the box?" The moment he turns back, strangle or slam him. 
Head for the goal as fast as you can.

Time Limit To Clear Stage: 01:00:00


[Level 4 - "Whirlpool Stage"]
Game Description: Destroy all targets and head for the goal!
Items/Weapons Given: Socom, with 35 Bullets

Difficulty: 3

This stage is simple. If you shoot one target, the ones near it will go 
off. All you got to do is at the start of the game, look up, and 
immediately shoot the target that is not moving. If you are lucky, you 
might be able to clear all the targets within a shot. If not, just head 
and destroy those you have not.

Time Limit To Clear Stage: 00:35:00


[Level 5 - "You Can't Afford Mistakes"]
Game Description: Head for goal without being seen by enemy soldiers!
Items/Weapons Given: None

Difficulty: 4

At the start of the game, crawl across the white patch (with some funny 
characters on it) and kill the first soldier you meet. The rest of the 
stage is easy, walk when there isn't the white patch and crawl on the 
white patch if necessary. Then head for the goal.

Time Limit To Clear Stage: 01:00:00


[Level 6 - "Disappearing Targets"]
Game Description: Destroy all targets and head for the goal!
Items/Weapons Given: Scope, PSG 1 (20/30)

Difficulty: 3

On the left stairs is 3 Diazepam (to stop your lessen your shaking) and 
on the right is 10 PSG1 Bullets. I suggest you don't take on the 
bullets on the right. Head for the left stairs, take the Diazepam and 
eat all of them. Then go into sniping mode (equipping PSG1) and look at 
the upper-left area. Wait for approximately 20 seconds and one of the 
targets will appear. Be sure to shoot accurately or the target might 
just disappear. After shooting, quickly go 3 boxes down and one box 
right. One more target will appear around thirty seconds, once seen, 
shoot it. Again, be accurate. The last target is located one box up and 
left. Once seen, shoot it accurately, or it will disappear and you must 
wait again for it to appear. After shooting all three targets, head for 
the checkpoint. 

Time Limit To Complete: 02:00:00


[Level 7 - "Race Against Time"]
Game Description: Eliminate the enemy soldier and head for the goal!
Items/Weapons Given: None

Difficulty: 4

Note: You cannot get spotted. 
From where you were, head down the stairs, and be sure not to walk on 
the ground as it will make noise and distract the soldier. Take the 
Stinger (without bullets) on the ground if you want. Follow the 
soldier, but by crawling. When he goes to a cornered area, you will see 
a wall, hide behind it and wait for him to come. When he returns, he 
will be close to you. The moment he yawns, and sleeps for a while, go 
to him a kill him by choking him. Another way is to do the same but 
when he yawns, crawl to the cornered area and take the Stinger bullets. 
Then kill him with the Stinger. Head for the goal to complete this 
stage.

Time Limit To Complete: 01:30:00


[Level 8 - "At the Scene of a Crime..."]
Game Description: A criminal always returns to the scene of the 
crime... Hide and prepare to ambush him.

Difficulty: 2

This stage is quite easy (seems like a stage for Mystery Mode). 
Firstly, when the stage begins, you go and hide behind the tall wall to 
the left of the dead body. Soon, you will hear a man saying, "Huh?" 
Wait for him to come and take a dairy near the dead man (the dairy most 
probably belongs to him). When he is about to go back, sneak up on him 
and choke him once, and don't kill him. Drag him to the goal to 
complete this stage and mode.

Time Limit To Complete: 05:00:00

   great game! It inspired me to write this guide.
