Metal Gear Solid - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Metal Gear Solid - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

We're here just to collect the items that we cannot get previously.
Go to the elevator - floor B2. Go south to the electric-before floor. Go south 
until you reach the junction, and take the left path. You can now open the south 
east door. It contains body armor.
Go back to the elevator - floor B1. Go to the south and open the middle west 
door (LV6). You will get medicine. This medicine will cure Snake's cold.
Then go to the place where Meryl got shot.

----> TRY THIS : MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE WOLVES +++
++ When you go to the cave where the wolves are, equip your scarf. You will 
charm the wolves, like they're charmed by Meryl.

   ***Animation***
**Solid looks at the place where Meryl get shot by the sniper. The floor is 
still covered with Meryl's blood. Snake got a flashback about Meryl's getting 
shot. Then the Colonel, Naomi, Miller, and Mei Lin call you at 140.85.**

After the animation, proceed north to COMMUNICATION TOWER A.


******* COMMUNICATION TOWER A*******
************************************
Enter the LV6 door where you previously get caught. Go along the aisle, and pick 
FAMAS bullets, & Socom bullets along way. Now check your FAMAS bullets, and 
equip FAMAS. Enter the door to the west. The camera will spot you, the alarm 
will go off, and guards are coming, trying to catch you !! At this place Snake 
doesn't have to sneak. He will have to fight all the guards. Get the Stun 
Grenades and Rope, then go south - open the door. Go upstairs fast. Shoot 
enemies that are trying to catch you. Run upstairs as fast as you could. 
Eventually you will find LV6 door. When you approach it, Otacon will call you at 
141.12. He told Snake not to open the door. Just go upstairs (you cannot open 
the door anyway). There's a lot of ration, FAMAS bullets, and Socom bullets on 
the way, so pick them up.

   +++ NEW NEW NEW 12 : TIPS ON ASCENDING THE STAIRS +++
++ 1. This can be done if you have a bandanna. If you're trying to get the FOX 
rank, then you know that you may not kill more than 25 enemies and may not use 
more than 1 ration. This place should give you a headache, because if you must 
kill all the enemies to survive. If you don't shoot the enemies, then you must 
use your rations to survive, which means you cannot get the FOX rank. To fix 
this, equip bandanna and stun grenades. Throw stun grenades FREQUENTLY as you 
ascending the stairs. By this the guards will be stunned all the time. But the 
screen will be white all the time - makes it hard for you to see the way (when 
you're in the top floor). If it happens to you, you can stop throwing the stun 
grenades for a while to look where you go. Usually when you reached the top 
floor, the guards won't be able to follow you. You will not lose your live and 
not kill even a single guard if you do this right.
2. If you haven't got a bandanna, then try this : Flip the guard instead of 
shooting him. I've tried this, but you musn't get too close to the guard. If 
you're to close, the guards will hit you with his weapon.

On the top floor, you can get Socom Bullet and FAMAS Bullets. Go along the path 
and you will come to a ladder with ration on the south of the ladder. Pick the 
ration and climb the ladder. Then open the door at the northeast corner (LV6 
door). You're on the roof now.

   ***Animation***
**Solid Snake arrives at the roof. He examines the roof, and notice that there's 
a satellite disc. Below the satellite disc, there's a LV 6 door on the nearby 
building (Communication Tower B).**

Go to the stair to the north, then ...

   ***Animation***
**Solid Snake is on its way to the satellite disc. Suddenly some missiles strike 
the disc, causing the disc to be broken. The disc falls to the ground below. 
Snake jumps to safety. While Snake is wondering who shot the disc, suddenly 
Liquid Snake with his chopper comes from behind. Apparently, it was the chopper 
that shots the Satellite disc. Snake runs towards the Communication Tower B 
roof, but the path there is damaged by the missiles that wrecked the Satellite. 
Snake could not cross, but Snake has to reach that LV6 door he saw before, so 
...**

Equip the rope, and go to the fence in front of you.

   ***Animation***
**Solid Snake ties the rope on the fence, while the chopper blows the building 
behind Snake. Snake comes down the building and lands on a ledge. Liquid's 
chopper comes and try to shoot Snake**

Snake got call from the Colonel - 140.85. Apparently, the Colonel explains to 
Snake how to use the rope.
Press X button to jump down - you can swing to the left and to the right by 
holding the directional button.
Press O to climb - it's not much use.

The objective is : to go down to the bridge that connect the Communication Tower 
A to Communication Tower B. On the way, avoid gas and the chopper's bullets. 
Keep going down until you arrive in the snowy area.

----> TRY THIS : OPEN THE FROZEN DOOR 
++ Notice the LV6 door on the ledge. It's the door that you previously can not 
open when you climb the stairs. You can not open it because it is frozen. Now 
you can open the frozen door by blasting it with C4. Just stick the C4 on the 
door and blow it.  You can now go back to the stairs area. But I guess there's 
nothing that we can do by going back.
This method will not work if you try it from the other side of the door (when 
you are chased by the guards previously). 
This was sent by psx001@aol.com ++

In this area, you can pick a ration to your left and a C4 to your right. DON'T 
TRY TO CROSS THE BRIDGE FIRST. By using your scope, you can see that three 
guards are guarding the bridge on the other side. If you get too close, the 
guards will start shooting at you and you won't be able to shoot them. Instead, 
use your Nikita Missiles to kill them. Usually it takes about 3 missiles to 
bring them down. You will know whether the guards are dead by listening to the 
music. If the music fades, then the guards are all dead. Cross the bridge. Near 
the end of the bridge, the chopper will appear in front of you and try to shoot 
you. Use your keycard to open the door to the west. Don't forget to pick the 
ration along the way.

   +++ NEW NEW NEW 13 : SNIPER'S SNAKE ??+++
++ You can use your sniper rifle to take the guards down. It's harder than using 
the Nikita, because you might get hit from their shots, but it gives you a 
feeling like you're a sniper.
This was first sent by Johny Cage"  ++

Inside the room you will find Stinger Launchers and Stinger Missiles. Then open 
the door to the south. 

Go south to reach the elevator. Press the elevator's button. You will see that 
the elevator is not working. Check the elevator by walking to the elevator's 
gate. Then go back to the door, and now take the path to the right (behind the 
elevator). Get grenades, FAMAS bullets, and Socom bullets. Go east, and climb 
down the stairs. Keep climbing down until you find that the stairs are broken.  
Go up again to the elevator. Before reaching the elevator ...

   ***Animation***
**Snake hears someone is trying to operate the elevator as well. Snake hides 
behind a pillar, getting ready with his gun. When he jumps out to point the gun, 
he finds out that the man is Otacon. Otacon had a long conversation with Snake. 
Then Otacon makes himself disappear, and go to the stairs leading to the bottom 
floor.**

Now you can go to the east - go upstairs. But beware, everytime you climb the 
stair, use the look button. There're camera-equipped-guns on the top wall. Use 
the chaff grenade to make the camera jammed. Then climb upstairs again. There're 
4 sets of camera, so you will need 4 chaff grenade to go to the top.
On the top floor, you will see a ladder leading upstairs. Instead of climbing 
the ladder, go along the south path to get 2 box of stinger missiles, chaff 
grenades, FAMAS bullets, and ration. By now you should have a full inventory of 
Stinger Missiles (20/20). Now go back and climb the ladder. Go through the door 
on the northeast side. You will reach the roof.

   ***Animation***
** The chopper appears in front of Snake. Liquid talks to Snake, then he flies 
his chopper to attack Snake.**

   *****BOSS NO 6 : CHOPPER (HIND)*****
Use your stinger missiles to shoot the chopper. Stay beside the container in 
front of the door. This container will be your safety place. It will be your 
'shield' against the chopper's bullets, so don't go to far from this container. 
There's a ration on the south west area of the container, and a stinger missiles 
on the south east corner. Don't waste your stinger missiles, so don't shoot if 
you don't have a clear shot.
Use your radar to know the chopper's location. If the chopper is shooting from 
the south, take cover on the north of the container, etc. Use your stinger radar 
to check where the chopper is. After the chopper takes a few hits, usually the 
chopper will then fly below the building. You cannot shoot it when he's under 
you, so shoot the chopper only when the chopper flies above you. If you put the 
crosshair of the Stinger on the chopper, the stinger will lock on the chopper. 
But in some cases, the lock does not guarantee to be sure hit. For instance, if 
the chopper is too far, then the missile will miss. 
When you hit the chopper 4 or 5 times, the chopper will go away, and animation 
shows that the chopper is shooting the south area. Go to the north before the 
missile hits you. 
Shoot the chopper 8-10 times again, then the chopper will fire its last 
missiles. Avoid it by running to the south west corner. Then the chopper is 
toasted !!

   ***Animation***
**The chopper is starting to fly unstable. Liquid is panic. The chopper falls 
apart. Then the chopper falls to the ground. Liquid screams " 
SSSNNNNAAAKKEEEEEEEE !!!". Then the view changes : from the Snake's back. Snake 
is watching an explosion causing by the chopper.**

Otacon calls Snake at 141.12. He tells Snake that he has fixed the elevator.

Go back down to the elevator - don't forget the security cameras!! You still 
have to use 4 chaff grenades to go to the elevator. Then press the button on the 
elevator. You can use the elevator now.

   ***Animation***
**Snake enters the elevator. Suddenly the elevator bell rings. Snake feels 
confused. Is there something wrong ??** 

Then press the elevator button to go to floor 1. The elevator door closes, and 
the elevator starts to move. Suddenly Otacon calls at 141.12. He says that some 
guards are in the elevator, too. They're using the transparency technique, so 
Snake can not see them.

Now is fighting time. Kill 4 transparent guards. Use FAMAS or C4.
 
----> TRY THIS : SEE THE TRANSPARENT GUARDS +++
++ You can see the guard by using your thermal goggle

After they're all be killed, enjoy your ride to the 1st floor.
Go out of the elevator, then go west. follow the path to get a ration and a box 
of PSG1 bullet (behind the elevator). Go in front of the elevator, and get a 
chaff grenade. Open the door in the south east corner. There're 2 boxes of PSG1 
bullets, guarded by a camera -equipped-gun. Then go through the west door. Get 2 
SOCOM bullets and 2 FAMAS bullets. Be careful, there are 3 cameras in this room. 
Open the door in the end of the aisle - that's to the north.

       +++ NEW NEW NEW 14 : WHAT HAPPENED TO LIQUID ?? +++
++ Before going north, go to the east until you reach the wall, then go north. 
Push yourself to the ledge on the north. You will see a parachute outside the 
wall. That's the place where the Hind fell. Snake then contacts the Colonel. 
From the conversation, it seems that Liquid survived the crash, even though he 
barely got the chance. Talking about luck, huh !!

Go to the north, and ...

   ***Animation***
**A sniper shoots Snake**

Then Snake got calls from Otacon - 141.12. In the conversation, suddenly Sniper 
Wolf interrupts. 

   *****BOSS NO 7 : Sniper Wolf - 2nd Encounter*****
Use your sniper rifle (PSG1)- It's sniper Vs sniper fight !! Like before, shoot 
her before she shoots you - it's a game of speed and accuracy. Sniper Wolf hides 
behind trees. Just follow her down, then shoot her when she tries to shoot you. 
If you runs out of bullets, you can get them on the west and on the east 
(there're 2 boxes). Pick a ration on the south east corner. Use Diazepam to calm 
you if you become unstable. 

----> TRY THIS : ALTERNATE WAY TO KILL SNIPER WOLF  +++
++ You can use your nikita missiles on her, but it would be difficult to spot 
her. Just hide well behind the tree.

   +++ NEW NEW NEW 15 : THE RIGHT WAY TO USE THE NIKITA MISSILES ON WOLF +++
++ Go to the east until you reach the wall. Then go north. You will find a safe 
place where a step of rock protects you, where you cannot be shot by Sniper 
Wolf. Face west then fire your Nikita Missile there. Press your Triangle button 
to look in 1st person view mode. After you feel that the Nikita Missile has 
reach the middle south area, move the missile to the north west (behind the 
truck). After the missile is behind the truck, move your missile to the north, 
to go behind the trees. Then move the missile to strike Sniper Wolf. You should 
hit her every time on her feet without getting hit at all. Here is the map :

**Snake approaches Sniper Wolf, who is now waiting for her death. She coughs, 
her blood mixed with her coughs. Then she has the last conversation with Snake 
(listen to the Background song - It's perfect, Does it make you want to cry ??). 
Sniper Wolf asks Snake to end her pain ( to kill her ). Snake points his gun on 
her. Otacon, watching the scene from far, feels very sad for Sniper Wolf. Sniper 
Wolf asks Otacon to bring her rifle. Otacon brings the rifle to her. She holds 
the rifle, and asks Snake to shoot. Otacon does not have the courage to watch 
this, so he turns his back and covers his ears. Then the camera zooms out fast, 
the screen becomes all white, then..... BANG !!
Snake uses the scarf to cover her face, then he leaves the place. Otacon shouts 
to Snake while watching Snake leaves. Then he makes himself disappear, and leave 
the place too.**

You are now free to roam the snow field area. There's a lot of door. I list them 
all :
- There are 2 doors on the west. The northern one (LV6) contains 4 Nikita 
Missiles and guarded by 1 camera. The southern one contains Cardboard box C and 
2 rations, guarded by 2 cameras.
- There are 2 doors to the east. The north one contains 2 boxes of PSG1 bullets, 
2 boxes of Socom Bullets, and 3 boxes of FAMAS bullets no camera. The south one 
contains 2 boxes of chaff grenades and 1 box of grenades guarded by 2 camera.
- There are 3 doors to the north. The left door leads to the enemy's last base. 
You cannot open the middle one right now, because it's LV7. The right one 
contains 1 box of diazepam, 1 box of stun grenade, and a ration - but the place 
is covered with claymore mines. 

Go to the north - northwest door, which leads to the enemy's Last Base. Avoid 
the cameras, go to the north west corner to get a box of Socom bullets. Go east, 
then go downstairs........ DISC ONE Ends.

----> DO YOU KNOW : CHANGE YOUR CD +++
++To change to disc two, wait until the METAL GEAR SOLID logo appears on the 
screen. Then open your disc cover by pressing the open button, BUT DO NOT PRESS 
THE POWER OR THE RESET BUTTON !! You will see that the disc has stopped 
spinning. Remove the first CD, and put the second CD on your PSX. Close the 
cover, and press START on your controller. The game will now load.++

Go downstairs, and open the door. Go north and go west to the bridge to get a 
box of chaff grenade. Then go to the bridge on the south, leading to the west 
wall. Press yourself to the wall, then walk sideways to the south to get a box 
of Socom bullets. Then walk sideways to the north to reach the north bridge. But 
be careful - there's a crane moving around. If this crane hits you, you will 
fall to the molten iron and burned to death !! Walk sideways and press X to 
duck. When the crane moves above you, get up (by pressing X again) then go to 
the north bridge. 

----> TRY THIS : MOVE THRU THE LEDGE EASILY 
++ If you have problem when crossing the ledge, you can destroy the crane with 2 
stinger missiles or with 2 nikita missiles. Actually, it's OK if you shoot just 
one time, cause the crane will stop moving.
This was sent by psx001@aol.com ++
 
Go north and go downstairs. You will find Socom bullets under the stairs. You 
can find a ration if you take the west path (downstairs), and you can find C4 
explosives if you walks to the south. Go north and downstairs. There's a box of 
Socom bullets under the stairs and There's a door on the northeast. Don't enter 
this door first. Go through the south - it leads to STEAM ROOM (REMEMBER THIS 
PLACE AS YOU WILL COME HERE AGAIN). Get 2 boxes of PSG1 bullets and 2 boxes of 
Nikita Missiles. Crawl to the south west under the pipes. You can get 2 box of 
Stinger Missiles, and 1 box of chaff grenades. Go back through the STEAM ROOM - 
go north. Open the door to the northeast.

In the next room, go north and you will see that an elevator is coming to your 
way. Before you go to LV B1 with the elevator, explore the room first - There 
are 2 boxes of FAMAS bullets on the south west, and 1 box of Socom bullets on 
the northwest corner. Get 2 boxes FAMAS bullets on the east, and get one box of 
Socom bullets behind the east container. Now you are ready to go down with the 
elevator. Just press the button on the panel with O button.

   ***Animation***
**Just as the elevator starts to move down, 3 guards appear from behind the 
container. They jump on the elevator.**

Fight those 3 guards with your FAMAS rifle. These guards are tougher than the 
ordinary guards. If you want to kill them fast, you can throw them outside the 
elevator. After those bad guys are dead, proceed to LV B1 of the enemy central 
base.


*******LV B1 of Enemy's Central Base*******
*******************************************

Go north of the elevator, then go to the east. There's a camera-equipped-gun 
inside. Get a Socom bullets on the north. NOW USE YOUR THERMAL GOGGLE and go 
south. There are claymore mines on the south side. Crawl to get the Claymore 
mines. While still crawling, go to the southeast corner to get ration and to the 
north east corner to get a box of FAMAS bullets.
Then go down with the elevator. Press the button on the panel - Use O button to 
do that.
Now you are going down on the elevator. There are lots of birds circling you. 
Then Master Miller calls you at 141.80. Enjoy the ride to floor B2.

     +++ NEW NEW NEW 16  :  DON'T KILL THE RAVENS +++
++ If you kill the ravens that are flying there, the Colonel and Naomi will warn 
you - calling you not to become a scarecrow and not to kill the raven's again

This place is so...chilling. You can see that this place is colder than any 
other place in this base. 
Go west behind the container to get Nikita Missiles and C4 bombs. Then go to the 
east containers to get ration and Nikita Missiles.
Then open the door on the north.

   ***Animation***
**Snake goes into a big-refrigerator-like room. There're a lot of raven birds in 
there. Then Snake sees someone's lying on the container in front of him. The 
person stands up and talks to Snake. It's VULCAN RAVEN, the one who attacks 
Snake with the tank (remember boss no 2 ??). Vulcan Raven jumps down to meet 
Snake. Now Vulcan Raven is fully equipped. He has this HUUUGGGEEEE Gaitling Gun 
(looks cool, isn't it ??). Then Vulcan Raven demonstrates his ability - the 
ability to control the bird. A bird lands on Snake's shoulder, stays there then 
leaves. After a few words, Raven is now ready to fight Snake.**

   *****BOSS NO 8 : Vulcan Raven - 2nd Encounter*****
Don't walk in front of him, he will shoot you wildly. Instead, use Nikita 
Missiles. Guide the Missile so it hits him. But don't underestimate him, he can 
shoot your Nikita Missile if he sees it. So guide your Nikita Missile to hit him 
from behind or from side. You have to guide it around the container - not in the 
straight line so he will have tough times to gun it down. If Raven gets close to 
you, predict which path he will take and plant claymore mines and C4 bombs. 
There are Stinger Missiles, Nikita Missiles, and ration. After a few hits, Raven 
starts to shoot at containers, so the containers are falling down, blocking 
several ways. Raven is now moving much faster than before. Claymore mines don't 
work on him right now, so use the Nikita Missiles only.

   +++ NEW NEW NEW 17 : NEW BOSS TIPS ON VULCAN RAVEN +++
++ 1. Use your grenades. Pick one of the sets of boxes in the room and have 
Raven follow you there (or just wait until he comes there).  Throw a grenade at 
the corner that Raven is one side away from and then continue around the box 
towards Raven's back.  The grenade will land just past the box's corner and 
Raven should see you just as you turn the corner (his gun should just become 
visible)... while he stands there shooting the grenade will explode, hitting 
him. You can do this until he has 15-20% life left... where the pattern still 
works but you have to throw the grenade earlier (in other words, make an 
educated guess as to Raven's exact path) and you obviously can't use an area of 
only 1 set of boxes.
This was sent by : chrisk (chris@Cathedral.MB.CA)  
2. Use the stinger missles against him. They lockon thru walls, so as soon as 
the gun started to appear around the corner you could launch and by the time the 
missile arrived all of him would be in view, the explosion would give you time 
to clear off to another vantage point and start lining up again.

**Vulcan Raven is now hurting very bad. Bloods are everywhere on his body. He 
talks to Snake, and give him the LV7 keycard. And then he tells Snake about 
DARPA's dead - while in prison : After Snake went away from the cell, Vulcan 
Raven came and picked up his body. It was not DARPA's after all !! It was 
someone disguising as DARPA. After telling him the story, he orders the birds to 
eat him !! The birds are starting to eat him, then Snake leaves him. When Snake 
turns around, he finds that Vulcan Raven's body is no longer there. The birds 
have eaten him completely. **

Note : You can now go back to the snowfield area to open the 7th level door. It 
contains 4 boxes of Stinger Missiles and guarded by 3 camera.

After you defeat Vulcan Raven, open the door on the north. Get a box of chaff 
grenade on your left. USE YOUR THERMAL GOGGLE. You will see that there are 2 
trap doors on the floor. After crossing the trap doors, take a box of ration. 
Take a look around with triangle button. There is a lot...A LOT of camera-
equipped-gun. So use your chaff grenade to distract the camera. Cross the 
bridge. You can go to east to get 3 boxes of Stinger Missiles. Open the door to 
the north, but before doing that get a box of Stinger Missiles in front of the 
door.


*******METAL GEAR REX's ROOM*******
***********************************

Go downstairs to the north then ........

   ***Animation***
**Snake is now standing in front of METAL GEAR REX !! (Man, look how big it is 
!!)**

Go north to the junction then take the path to the left. Get a chaff grenade on 
the corner.  Then go to the north, and go downstairs to get a ration. There's a 
river to the west. There are sometimes items in the river (the position of the 
items are random), but you will take damage in the water. To check whether 
there's an item or not, use your thermal goggle. Go back upstairs and go back to 
the front of Metal Gear Rex. Take the east path now, and go downstairs to get 
FAMAS and SOCOM bullets. Go back upstairs and proceed to the northeast. There's 
a ladder there. Before you climb the ladder, Otacon will call you at 141.12. 
Climb the ladder afterwards.

Go east to pick up the chaff grenade. Go back to the junction and take the west 
path. Go south to get FAMAS bullet. Go to the north. Just before you climb the 
ladder, Otacon will call you again at 141.12. Climb the ladder afterwards.

There's a ladder to the left, but you maybe want to explore the area first. Go 
to the north path to get FAMAS bullets, chaff grenades, and 2 boxes of stinger 
Missiles. Now you are ready to climb the ladder. 

Now you are on top of Metal Gear REX. Otacon and the Colonel will call you at 
141.12. Now climb down the ladder to the left.

Go along the path to the north, west, then south. Get FAMAS bullets, and 2 Socom 
bullets on the way. Go east a little bit, and climb stairs to the south. Then 
......

   ***Animation***
**Snake sees two persons in the Control Room. They are Revolver Ocelot and 
Liquid Snake (apparently he's not dead from the helicopter blast !!). They're 
talking about their plan. Snake hides behind the wall to hear their 
conversation. They talked about project FOXDIE (??) and project OUTER HEAVEN 
(??). Without Solid's knowledge, there's a camera near Snake. 
Snake calls Otacon at 141.12. Otacon explains to Snake how to use the PAL Card. 
He also explains about the three marks on the computer. One of the marks is the 
same as the mark on the PAL card. 
Then Ocelot sees Solid in the camera. Ocelot shoots at Solid. Solid is so 
surprised that he dropped the PAL card. The PAL card is now falling to the river 
below. Snake tries to catch the card, but he can't make it. Liquid calls Snake 
from the control room, and the Control Room's door closes.**

The alarm rings. The guards are coming at Snake. Kill the guards. Run back to 
the top of Metal Gear Rex. The guards will stop following you. Go downstairs. 
You must look for the PAL key in the water. Sometimes you will get a bomb. If 
you do, Master Miller will warn you at 141.80. Drop the bomb by accessing the 
inventory screen (L2) button, selecting it by using directional pad, and while 
still holding the L2 button, press O button. 

    ################### STUCK NO 8 #######################
     Where do I drop the PAL card ??
    ######################################################
    ---------------------- ANSWER ------------------------
     The PAL card is brought by the rat. 
    ------------------------------------------------------

Look for the PAL card. The rat brings the PAL card. You can get the PAL card by 
touching, shooting, or bombing the rat. The rat will drop the PAL card. But 
sometimes in the US version, the card is not brought by the rat, it's just in 
the water. I experienced this once. 

After you get the PAL card, go back to the control room (where Ocelot and Liquid 
having a chat previously). Use the chaff grenade to make the cameras jammed. 
Then use the PAL key on the computer laptop according to the symbol. Look at 
your PAL key's symbol in your inventory. Go to the computer with the same 
symbol. Then there will be an animation where the square thing behind the 
computer goes down, and the card will go out of the computer. Now you have to 
put the PAL key with the same symbol on the computer.

    ################### STUCK NO 9 #######################
     Where can I find the 2nd and 3rd PAL key ??
    ######################################################
    ---------------------- ANSWER ------------------------
     You don't find them. You change the symbol.
     PAL keys symbols change according to the temperature.
    ------------------------------------------------------

Now this is really tricky : The symbol on the PAL key can change. The change 
depends on the temperature on the room you're at. The yellow symbol (C) appears 
when you're on a normal temperature room. The blue symbol (W) appears when 
you're on a low temperature room - cold. The red symbol (Z) appears when you're 
on a high temperature room. 

I assume you have put the yellow card into the computer (yellow colour is the 
default colour). To change the card colour to blue, you have to be in a room 
where the temperature is low, such as : the room where you fight Vulcan Raven, 
or the snow area outside. Stay there for about 2 minutes, then the card colour 
will change automatically. Then go to the Control room to insert the second card 
into the computer. Then go back to the elevator to floor B1. On the elevator 
Master Miller will call you at 141.80. Proceed to the elevator to level 1. Go 
south to the STEAM ROOM (the room where there pipes and steam everywhere - It's 
a high temperature room). Stay there for two minutes, then the card symbol will 
change to red. Make your way back to the control room on Level B2. On the 
elevator, Naomi + Colonel will call you at 140.85. Naomi will tell you about a 
guy name GREY FOX. 

Go to the Control Room - once again, use the chaff grenade to make the cameras 
jammed. Then equip the PAL key then walk to the right computer. 

   ***Animation***
**The square thing behind the computer goes down. All keys are opened. The 
computer says that Metal Gear is now ready to use !! Snake is so surprised. He 
thought that the PAL keys are supposed to stop it !!
Then 141.80 Miller calls, thanking Snake for 'helping' him to operate Metal 
Gear. Snake is so surprised and angry. Then the Colonel appears on the vidcam 
and angry at Snake.  Miller opens his glasses, and changes his hair, revealing 
himself. MILLER TURNS OUT TO BE LIQUID SNAKE ALL ALONG !! Miller has used Snake 
to operate the Metal Gear REX, without Snake even knowing it !!. Then Liquid 
sounds the alarm. The door in the Control Room closes, and the room now is 
filled with poisonous gas !!**

Equip your gas mask, then use your radio to call Otacon at 141.12. Otacon will 
try to help you. Wait, then Otacon will call you at 141.12, tells you that he 
manages to override the security. The door now opens.
When Snake goes out from that door, he sees Liquid is running towards the Metal 
Gear REX. Get a ration to the south then follow Liquid. you will see the 
animation.

   ***Animation***
**Snake sees Liquid is standing beside Metal Gear REX. Snake points his gun on 
him, but Liquid says something that makes Snake put down his gun. Then they have 
a conversation (something about FOXDIE and Naomi). After a long talk, Metal 
Gear's cockpit is opening. Snake quickly points his gun on Liquid, trying to 
shoot him. But Liquid is faster. He jumps into the Metal Gear REX's cockpit, 
closes it then starting the elevator. Snake jumps to the Metal Gear REX's base. 
Then the base elevates until it reaches the upper floor.**

   *****BOSS No 9 : METAL GEAR REX*****
Use your stinger missiles. Aim at the disc on the Metal Gear REX's left 
shoulder. Lock on it, then shoot. The tactics is : to shoot the Disc, then run 
between Metal Gear REX's feet to the back. Wait for Metal Gear REX to turn 
around, and shoot the disc again. By running between the legs, Metal Gear REX's 
homing missiles will miss. But avoid going near his right leg. He will stomp you 
- and if you hit, you will die instantly !! Do this until he is defeated. But 
remember, don't waste your life bar because the fight will continue.

----> BOSS TIPS : EASY WAY TO DEFEAT 1ST METAL GEAR REX +++
1. FOR IMPORT VERSION : One thing you should know when you fight Metal Gear REX 
(1st) is : Metal Gear REX uses detector to find you (you can see it in the top 
right map) and luckily, his detector can be jammed with chaff grenade. So when 
the fight starts, go directly in front of him before Metal Gear REX moves. 
Before Metal Gear REX gets up, equip chaff grenade and throw it in front of him. 
Metal Gear REX will not be able to move. Then quickly equip your stinger 
missiles, aim it at the drum-like thing on Metal Gear REX's left shoulder and 
shoot it. When the missile is on its way, quickly equip the chaff grenade and 
throw it. Quickly equip your stinger missiles and shoot him again. So the 
tactics are : quickly switch between chaff grenade -> stinger missiles -> chaff 
grenade -> stinger missiles etc. If you do it right, you will not lose any 
lives.

2. Somehow the 1st tactic doesn't work on the US version. I've tried it on 
normal mode, and I ended up getting hit by the missiles. So here's the tactic : 
stay under its feet. Metal Gear REX will have hard times finding you, and he 
will stop for a while. Take this chance to go to his behind- left side, then 
shoot the Radome with your stinger missile from behind. Then repeat the method. 
Sometimes Metal Gear REX will move so fast that he will see you at times. He 
seems to move all the time, making it hard for you to shoot the radome. If it 
happens, use your chaff grenades. The chaff will make the Metal Gear REX to miss 
all his shot, and sometimes keep repeating his last moves (such as : keep firing 
his laser without aiming you). You can shoot the stinger at this time or you can 
go under his feet like the tactic above. The chaff grenade will make the cone of 
vision sensor from red to blue.

   ***Animation*** - THE COOLEST ANIMATION IN THIS GAME ^_^ !!!
**Metal Gear REX is now broken. It seems to malfunction. When Snake approaches 
it, suddenly Metal Gear REX starts to move again towards Snake, try to stomp 
him. Snake retreats, then a figure running and jumping from Snake's behind 
towards Metal Gear REX. It's Ninja, or should I say Grey Fox !! Grey Fox helps 
Snake by holding Metal Gear's leg. Metal Gear REX tries to stomp Ninja, but Fox 
dodges, and jump backward. While on the air, Fox uses his right arm to shoot 
Metal Gear Rex's Disc. The disc malfunctions for a little while, giving time for 
Fox to hide behind the container with Snake. Snake and Fox had a conversation, 
while Metal Gear REX is trying to find them by shooting all the containers. Fox, 
thinks that hiding is useless now, tries to reach for the Stinger Missiles. He 
jumps, dodges every Metal Gear REX's attack. But when he jumps in front of Metal 
Gear REX, Metal Gear REX fire his laser beam. This laser beam cuts Fox left arm. 
Fox jumps backward, trying to shoot REX with his right arm, but before he does 
that, Metal Gear REX runs forward and slams Fox on the wall with its head. Now 
Fox is stuck between the wall and Metal Gear REX's head. Fox is still trying to 
shoot the disc. Metal Gear REX now retreats. Fox drops to the ledge in the 
second floor. The cockpit now opens. Liquid talks to Fox. Fox shouts to Snake, 
ordering Snake to shoot Liquid. Snake aims his stinger to Liquid, but he seems 
to hesitate. Liquid, in Metal Gear REX, then push Fox from the ledge to the 
floor, then stomps him on his body. Fox speaks to Solid. But then Metal Gear REX 
walk backwards, stomping over Fox whole body !! Fox is dead. Solid Snake feels 
so angry and start to attack REX.**

   *****BOSS NO 10 : METAL GEAR REX - 2nd Encounter*****
Use your stinger missiles again. Now aim for Liquid inside the cockpit. Use the 
same strategy as before, until he is toasted !!

----> BOSS TIPS :  EASY WAY TO DEFEAT 2ND METAL GEAR REX +++
++ Move behind Metal Gear REX all the time. Liquid will have troubles on finding 
you. After some time, Metal Gear REX will stand still. Shoot the cockpit from 
under his feet. Repeat this until Metal Gear REX is toasted !!

**Metal Gear REX seems to be malfunction. When Liquid tries to stomp Snake, 
Metal Gear REX becomes unstable. Metal Gear Solid is now wrecked. There are 
explosions everywhere. The explosion hits Snake, and throws Snake to the wall. 
Snake is unconscious. Apparently, Liquid is still alive. Liquid approaches 
Solid. Then the screen fades. 
Then the animation shows Liquid talking to Snake on the top of Metal Gear REX 
(which is now wrecked). The place is now surrounded by fire.  Snake is being 
tied up by Liquid. After a long conversation, there's a real live video about 
scientists, and about the Desert Storm operation in Iraq (1991). After another 
long conversation, Liquid shows Snake that he had Meryl !! Snake's so surprised 
to know that Meryl is not dead. Meryl is lying unconscious and being tied up 
too. Snake calls the Colonel on 140.85. After the chat, something's happening. 
Snake asks Mei Lin, then someone (unknown) appears in vidcam and talks to Snake. 
After the conversation on the radio, Liquid releases Snake and asks him to fight 
one on one. To get the situation more exciting, Liquid put a time bomb beside 
Meryl and put the timer for 3 minutes.**

   *****BOSS NO 11 : LIQUID SNAKE *****
