Hint: Duel mode: High score:
The best way to get a high score is to choose one weapon and kill the Boss as fast as possible. It also helps if you collect ammunition for your weapons before defeating the Boss. The shorter the time and more ammunition you carry, the higher the score. You will not lose points for damage or using your medical items.

Hint: Quick reload:

Frank M.

Hint: Defeating The End:
When you first start to fight him, go into one of the other two areas and not the original one you start in. Run around and roll to dodge his bullets. When he shoots at you, press Start and select "Map". One of the sniping locations will be highlighted in red to show you where he is at. This is assuming that you have uncovered the entire area. To remove the tranquilizer darts from where The End shot you, press Start and select "Cure". Select the Knife to remove the tranquilizer darts. Do this as soon as possible to avoid losing stamina.
Psychopathic_Klown.

If you are having trouble defeating The End and do not much care for the rifle or camo, you do not have to fight him. Rather than trying to shoot him after the intermission sequence and fight guards, you can just skip it all together. When you begin the battle, save the game. Ignore what Medic says about saving and her bad feeling. She is just hinting at the fact that The End's health recovers as well as Snake's. After saving the game, turn off the PlayStation2. Advance the system date ahead one week. When you start the game again, you will get a message that The End has died and there is no battle.
Adam Seraphin.

Hint: Defeating Volgin:
Use the following trick to defeat Volgin on Shagohod. When you start the battle, run to a safe place where you know Eva will not ride to. Stop, go to your inventory, and equip the RPG or rocket launcher and some sort of "lethal" sniper rifle. Aim at the spinning drill-shaped wheels on the Shagohod. Make sure that the rocket hits one of them. You will notice that the Shagohod has stopped. Take out the sniper rifle and aim it at Volgin's head. One shot to the head should take him out.
Erkman9000.

When the Boss battle begins, equip the mask. Volgin will let his guard down, allowing you a free shot at him. If done correctly you can take off about half his health.
nightwolf.

Hint: Finding Raikov/Raiden:
When you are looking for Raikov/Raiden in the lab, go to the bathroom which is on the lower floor. He is hiding in a stall. Note: It is not a normal stall; it is a stall with a sliding door next to the sink.
dingle1673.

Hint: Hitting below the belt:
Get to the part where you have to find Major Raikov and take his uniform. Dress up like Ivan Raikov and go to the other gaurds. They must salute to Ivan. During that time, go into first person view and aim at a guard's crotch and punch them. The guard will grab his crotch and fall face down, knocked out. This can also be done when you go into the research facility where you must find Granin. Dress up like a scientist and punch the guards or other scientists in the crotch.
David Hall.

Hint: Self healing:
This trick is difficult to do, but is worth it under the Hard or Extreme difficulty. When you have a serious injury with red in your health bar, heal it part way. The wound should start to heal by itself. Your health should increase by the amount that it healed by itself. This helps save medical supplies.

Hint: Killing the guard in the cell:
After you get out of the torture room you will be placed in a cell with one guard. When he gives you some food, eat it then go to "Cure" in the pause menu. With R3 and L3, move Snake around and around for about seven seconds. Leave the pause menu and once your back in the cell, Snake will vomit. The guard will come in and look at you. Use the fork to stab him until he dies.

Hint: Open gate with Codec:
After you have been tortured by Colonel Volgin and are trapped in the cell, enter "144.75" in your Codec. This should open the door. Note: The guards will probably get alerted when the gate opens.
dingle1673.

Hint: Cancel alert status with the Codec:
When you are in the alert phase, call "143.03" on your Codec to cancel the alert status.
dingle1673.

Hint: CQC (Close Quarters Combat) attacks:
The following are the attacks you can do with CQC (within a reasonable range and using only a knife):

Slit throat: Hold Circle while holding an enemy prisoner.
Snap neck: Tap Circle while holding an enemy prisoner. The move varies depending on how many times you tap Circle. A few times will knock him out and a lot will kill him.
