lmao.. this game was on point... games today are just shit. chances are you couldnt beat mgs on psx without a strategy guide.. lol not everything is super obvious like in today's games
In the air duct that leads to the darpa chief, you can see Meryl doing sit-ups. If you leave and re-enter the ducts, she will do a different exercise every time. If you do it often enough, she'll be doing them without pants as well.
One night I accidentally went to bed w the ps1 still on. Came back after school the next day to find I'd left Snake in a ventilation shaft for 16 hours. I still remember the PALPABLE guilt of doing that to him. This game got into your soul in '98!
He wasn't lucky, he was incompetent. Whether the rat eats the PAL is based on how many Alerts you get in the course of the game. More than a certain number, the rat doesn't eat the PAL.
Really? Because I've gone through the whole game on normal with less than 5 alerts and no rat. I didn't get the rat until I played on extreme and got spotted around 40 times by enemies off screen.
I think it actually depends on how long it takes you to get to the floor. On Normal I can see the guard before he sees me since I have the radar so I can get to the floor before the rat eats the key and Ocelot places a bomb. On Extreme I take my time and am more cautious and use first person view a lot taking me much longer.
The MGS wikia claims it is linked to whether or not you submit to Ocelot's torture; supposedly if you do NOT submit, the rat will appear. I can't confirm this. I had the official strategy guide back in the day, and I remember that it made the claim that it was based on number of alerts. In searching around I've seen 10 thrown out as a number on the internet. I said "a certain number" because I can't recall the number the strategy guide claimed. The guide was, of course, a Brady guide, and they are known for letting errors slip through, so I really can't claim with 100% authority, though my experience backs the alerts hypothesis. Also, you may not realize this but as far as the game is concerned, scripted, unavoidable alerts count toward the total. The jailbreak with Meryl, Johnny Sasaki (actually avoidable, but waiting for the ninja sucks unless you're submitting to the torture to get the Otacon ending for the stealth camo) the comm tower climb, the soldiers on the bridge between comm towers, the two elevator ambushes, and Ocelot setting off the alarm on you outside the PAL control room adds up to a whopping SEVEN scripted alerts in the game, which means if you're getting "less than 5" alerts, (which I'm going to take to mean you got 4) you've still got 11 alerts total, enough to nix the rat if the 10 alerts number is correct. I got nothing for why it still happened on Extreme, other than Extreme is a complete bastard and forgives nothing. The only time I ever played on Extreme was for the Big Boss run I did years ago. Never played on Extreme again after that. Obviously, going for Big Boss I had to have zero extraneous Alerts, so I would have expected the rat to appear regardless.
there is an extra line in one cutscene before the torture. you know the part where its from snakes POV and he's looking up at the lights while on the torture bed? you can move the dpad to look around. if you move it many times during the pauses in diolog, Ocelot says "Forget it! you're strapped down tight"
another alternate codec call is when Colonel says "excellent snake, age hasn't slowed you down one bit" if you get a gameover or stay for more than 10 minutes (im not sure which it was) Campbell says "You took a long time"
@Dana Harvey .> In my memories he says, “Don't make me laugh! These shackles are steel。” for O repeatedly, and for moving hte head he says something like, “Forget it! Your body's straight up tied。” or something similar and/or something has more or less this meaning。 He says about autofire right before the torture though。 Also for the O taping repeatedly and the moving the head -thing, it's in the cutscene with Snake looking in POV, when Liquid, Wolf and Ocelot are there the three, as the autofire-thing is during the cutscene right before the torture begin with Ocelot only there speaking to Snake (cutscene not in POV)。 Anyway lol ^^, have nice day! ;p Take care of you; hugs and kisses ♥ ^^。
in this torture part i remember Mei Ling calling me ofering a "massage" making the dual shock controller to vibrate for a few seconds... cant remember tho how to make it happen
This was one of the first PSX games I ever remember owning. Got it as a stocking stuffer for Christmas whenever the game came out. Woke up early before everyone else woke up and started playing. Been a huge fan ever since. Story is spot on and the voice acting is phenomenal. Went back and played Dragon Age Inquisition a few weeks ago with the DLC and realized one of the dwarves was David Hayter...character instantly turned into Snake for me and it was a million times better. Already knew all of these "secrets" though. I've beaten the game over 100 times, at least.
Ms Dos I almost forgot to say, but Miller lost the leg and his arm in 1984 when he was kidnapped by the Skulls. In the scene Big Boss enters in a coma, Miller moves too much for someone who lost his arm and leg
1:00 Figured this out the hard way when I played the game for the first time recently. Hadn't saved since beating Psycho Mantis and died in the torture sequence. Had to replay like 30 minutes of game to get back. Moral of the story: if you're a compulsive saver, keep it up.
If you hit meryl, she'll slap you in the face, however, if you hit her while she's under control of the mantis ( 4:23) she will just say something like "what are you doing" (if i remember correctly), but she won't slap you, this clearly indicates that she isn't herself anymore
luigiclone additionally, you can shoot at Baker from the other room before entering. You'll hear Ocelot's voice saying "What're you aiming at!?" And can do this up to three times before causing a game over.
Back when I had my PS1 I actually got the Mono TV message. Also, after all this time, I didn't knew Meryl could get that red or Ocelot being dissapointed in you.
In the room where you fight the ninja, on the PS1 version there is a PS1, however on the Twin snakes Gamecube version there is a Gamecube instead. Also in the far top right corner there is a Yoshi and Mario I think. If you shoot them they'll make a noise.
thank you for explaining the statue trick during the Psycho Mantis fight, every guide ive ever read that mentions that trick always failed to add the part that you had to fail a fight first and make a codec call to trigger it.
I Remember getting this when it came out and from then on I was a hardcore metal gear fan , I even bought zone of Enders cause it came with a metal gear solid 2 demo disc on the first day of release , let’s just say I’ve never played a demo more then the mgs2 demo !
2 of my most favourite games are on the original PlayStation this and ff7. Playing this for the first time as a kid it blew me away, this was art and could say that games can tell fantastic stories. I couldn’t say another game I played at the time that had a story like this. I was playing crash, urban chaos, demolition derby, spyro, pandemonium, klonoa and probably 100s more. But this and ff7 and Zelda ocarina of time are my childhood
I loved FF7 and of course this game! But I seen in a GamePro a partial resident evil 1 walkthrough and that's why I begged for a PS1 for Christmas LMAO!
Here's something almost no one knows about that blasted rat in Rex's hangar: You have to retrieve the card from the rat WITHOUT KILLING IT if you are trying for a Big Boss run! The bloody thing COUNTS AS A KILL toward the requirements for the ranking. The original MGS was far more brutal about getting the top rankings than the later games.
Dana Harvey I did it once, barely. It was one of the most difficult and frustrating things I've ever done in gaming. It will bottleneck you right at the very beginning; it's damn hard to survive the jailbreak with Meryl while waiting for her to shoot everyone. No magical tranquilizer dart shooting Beretta in the original!
5:35 In Metal Gear Solid 3 Ocelot has a battle with Snake and Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid is referencing that battle , if you're a little confused you need to watch the ending cutscene in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots
Hey James, fellow Irishman here and just wanted to say i really enjoy your videos, really well put together and a great source of nostalgia for a guy who grew up with these games. keep up the good work my friend.
I found all of those secrets except for the the mono TV and the second dialogues with Ocelot. There were even a few that wasn't mentioned. For example, if you go back the very first elevator that brought you to the heliport late in the game, you'll get an interesting call from Cambell. Just before you blow up the wall with the C4 to fight Ocelot, there's another wall you can blow up to get the digital camera. And also, above the steel beam where you fought Sniper Wolf for the first time, there are rats you can snipe. If you do, everyone will scold you for animal crualty. I'm pretty sure there are more.
I had looked up a lot of stuff about MGS1 and knew about attacking the statues in the Psycho Mantis fight, but never knew how to get it to work. Awesome video, thanks!
i didn't know if you let the guard catch up with you after jailbreak, he would break in his diarrea again lol it reminds me in mgs2 that when I was in the hostages room trying to find the president by the heartbeat using de mic, i could point it to a wall and overhear problaby this same guy in his diarrea on the restroom. in mgsv tpp there's a tape with farts and poop sounds.
When Mantis reads your "mind" by reading Konami save files off your memory card, he caught me off guard when he said "So ... you like Suikoden" I was like wtf how??? Because I didn't own the game. I just borrowed it briefly from a friend and forgot I created a save file.
Wow.. I came into this video thinking it was another of those videos where I would go ''Yep, already knew that.'' But alot of the things I actually never knew about.. Like the Mantis statue thing, and the different dialogue of Raven and Ocelot depending on your previous actions. The more you know!
One of the funniest lines is if you kill the rats on the ledge before fighting sniper wolf in the corridor. Campbell will call you cursing saying: We didn't hire you to be a damn rat trap!" lolol
The chronic diarrhea,the rusty Snake,the TV,Meryl's whole body blushing,Snake falling to his knees,Raven's additional line,and Ocelot's disappointment are all new to me...and I thought I knew everything including the cheats and unlockables.
Thank you for the great video. Have played the game since release about 10+ times and even i haven't seen all of these secrets. Shows what a detailed masterpiece MGS is.
In all of these years I didn't realize that line about feeling rusty existed. Going through the first part of the game was like muscle memory for me so I never saw it... until today. Its been at least 4 years since I last played any MGS game and I decided to play them all again. So, I boot up MGS and I die and die and die again and again during the introduction. Then I got that line about feeling rusty. Yes, Colonel, I do feel rusty haha I love these damn games.
1. When you first encounter Meryl dressed as a guard after the "Darpa Chief" dies if you have the Socom pistol at that point Snake will take it out and point it at her. But if you don't he'll instead grab the barrel of Meryl's Famas rifle. 2. If you keep getting yourself blasted by Vulcan Raven's main turret on his tank they'll be short cutscene where he basically laughs at you losing. 3. You can blast the crane in the metal foundry with a Stinger missile to stop it from moving and make it so you don't have to duck to get past it.
1:44- I found about that by myself. I figured, what if I don't take out the guard and just run into the door? 2:38- I tried it with The Twin Snakes version, but doesn't work in the Remake. 3:24- In Twin Snakes, he talks about tilting the Control Stick slightly instead. : P 4:14- Again, in Twin Snakes, her skin doesn't turn red. 5:46- I first found out about this from a Twin Snakes Video from GameSpot.
There were only a couple things I didnt know about, like the codec conversations about a mono tv or Ocelot alternate dialogue. Also didnt know that you could shoot the statues to distract Mantis. Thats a pretty cool attentiom to detail.
Also Psycho Mantis reads your memory card. If there are no konami games saved in the card, Mantis says, "Your memory is completely clean." As for me, I had a konami saved game and Mantis said, "So, you like Suikoden."
I just recently pulled my original PlayStation one in PlayStation 2 out of the closet to play metal gear solid one and two, and I like to say I did not know about the damn right eating the pal key and the rat 😅
So many good voice actors... suddenly it's not about smashing the start button to play and get a score... but we can sit back and listen to the story and be captivated
I usually already know the information featured in videos like these, but I actually learned a lot here. I love how they roasted him for having a mono TV lol.
Forgot about shooting the rats with the sniper rifle. It is funnier than the crow line. Also what about going into the vent over and over when merryl is working out. She does three different workouts and of course will eventually be in her underwear because...Kojima. Didn't know about that Mono TV one though...Man they really hate whatever a mono tv is
One I found on my first playthrough, I didn't realise that Baker meant the back of the physical CD case to get the codex frequency for Meryl, I thought he meant the Rex data disc that he gives you, so I equipped it and tried everything that I could. I found that if you continually keep opening the codex's memory eventually her frequency pops up without you ever having to input it. I don't know if it requires you to be in a certain area or for a certain amount of time to elapse but I used to do it in Tank Hangar.
You can call natasha at the start of the game instead of waiting till you get to the nuclear storage unit for some extra conversions. She has things to say after donald anderson dies and during the ocelot and tank boss fight.
I always use claymores for the card eating rat, cause there are 2 places he can appear. It works with the Raven too. You also didn't mention Meryl's frequency on the game box, but thats pretty obvious. Good upload.
also when you first find merrel or whatever her name is in that prison cell. You can keep leaving the vent and re entering to see her removing more and more clothing
I thought I knew all of these but I'm glad you saved the best for last: I didn't know about the Psycho Mantis statue thing; so great to find out something new after all these years.
Good stuff, I remember playing this when it came out. The Psycho mantis boss battle was really ahead of its time breaking the third wall with the player. If I ever get round to playing this game again, I'd like to try and find all these little secrets to really flesh out the game. Cheers.
Most of these tips were included in the PrimaGames MGS strategy guide. I played this demo (along with the first Gran Turismo) for about 6 hours!! Needless to say, I’d been hooked on MGS since…….
gamesplusjames I know right theres tons of hidden things I know theres one where you can keep peeking down at Meryl in the Cells and she removes her pants
Wow I played trough this game at least 10 times back in the days and kept finding new stuff and this vid showed me at least 3 more. Though the one where Ocelot is dissapointed in Snakes skills I never found because I was not that bad at the game :P
I replayed this for the 3rd time on my VITA and finally got the damn rat to eat the PAL Key.. In all my years playing MGS in all of its difficulties I have never seen this happening until I replayed it for the Stealth Camo in the VITA Save file... I was shocked when I could not find the damn PAL key in the sewers but then I found out the rat actually has its own blip in the Soliton Radar, I was confused at first because I didn´t know what the point in the radar was and I kept bumping on the stupid rat each time I followed it.. Out of spite I killed the damn thing and BAMM the PAL Key popped out! Needless to say my JAW DROPPED HARD as I could not believe this game was still surprising me after almost 20 years.
Apart from the mono TV and the other way to defeat Psycho Mantis, I pretty much knew all the stuff already. I guess I didn't play Metal Gear Solid to death after all! lol
They all seemed to be the same with the way you had to defeat them. Run around, aim, wait for an opening and shoot, then repeat. There wasn't any variety in them which MGS3 had.
waaay ahead of its time this game..
you're pretty good
lmao.. this game was on point... games today are just shit. chances are you couldnt beat mgs on psx without a strategy guide.. lol not everything is super obvious like in today's games
+WashingtonCarver Ummm.... This game was A walk in the Park. It wasn't FF8 Or nothing😂.
+WashingtonCarver Ummm.... This game was A walk in the Park. It wasn't FF8 Or nothing😂.
to be fair, mgs1 really was hard, or at least the rex was, easily the hardest boss in the entire saga
I knew all of this except the mono t.v and the statue thing with Mantis. This is my favorite video game of all time.
In the air duct that leads to the darpa chief, you can see Meryl doing sit-ups. If you leave and re-enter the ducts, she will do a different exercise every time. If you do it often enough, she'll be doing them without pants as well.
Falko Böcker Meryl really has a lot of trouble keeping her pants on! :D
She's not the only one, nigga.
Falko Böcker yeah im suprised they missed that out,
I did all of these apart from staring at meryl and making her trun red hahaha
I found that on my first play through!!!
@@timparker1552 soul crushing stare
One night I accidentally went to bed w the ps1 still on. Came back after school the next day to find I'd left Snake in a ventilation shaft for 16 hours. I still remember the PALPABLE guilt of doing that to him. This game got into your soul in '98!
Now that's the best and only new thing I heard here !
The biggest influence of our childhood !
😂🤣
I've been playing this game for 19 years and never knew a rat can eat the PAL key. KOJIMA LEVEL DETAIL!!!!!!!!!
He ate it every damn time I played. It was annoying you were lucky i guess.
He wasn't lucky, he was incompetent. Whether the rat eats the PAL is based on how many Alerts you get in the course of the game. More than a certain number, the rat doesn't eat the PAL.
Really? Because I've gone through the whole game on normal with less than 5 alerts and no rat. I didn't get the rat until I played on extreme and got spotted around 40 times by enemies off screen.
I think it actually depends on how long it takes you to get to the floor. On Normal I can see the guard before he sees me since I have the radar so I can get to the floor before the rat eats the key and Ocelot places a bomb.

I had the official strategy guide back in the day, and I remember that it made the claim that it was based on number of alerts. In searching around I've seen 10 thrown out as a number on the internet. I said "a certain number" because I can't recall the number the strategy guide claimed. The guide was, of course, a Brady guide, and they are known for letting errors slip through, so I really can't claim with 100% authority, though my experience backs the alerts hypothesis. Also, you may not realize this but as far as the game is concerned, scripted, unavoidable alerts count toward the total. The jailbreak with Meryl, Johnny Sasaki (actually avoidable, but waiting for the ninja sucks unless you're submitting to the torture to get the Otacon ending for the stealth camo) the comm tower climb, the soldiers on the bridge between comm towers, the two elevator ambushes, and Ocelot setting off the alarm on you outside the PAL control room adds up to a whopping SEVEN scripted alerts in the game, which means if you're getting "less than 5" alerts, (which I'm going to take to mean you got 4) you've still got 11 alerts total, enough to nix the rat if the 10 alerts number is correct.
I got nothing for why it still happened on Extreme, other than Extreme is a complete bastard and forgives nothing. The only time I ever played on Extreme was for the Big Boss run I did years ago. Never played on Extreme again after that. Obviously, going for Big Boss I had to have zero extraneous Alerts, so I would have expected the rat to appear regardless.
Even I didn't know all that!
why did i just read your comment with Solid snake's voice.
Hm, you must be that ninja!
Snake what happened? Snake! Snaaaaaaaake!!!
At least you know it now (y)
Solid Snake Snake?

After you injure Liquid by destroying the hind, Master Miller won't respond for awhile...Hinting that Liquid is Master Miller
Miller lost his arm and his leg in ground zeros (set in 1975)
And metal gear solid 1 is set in 2000-something
Ms Dos MGS1 is set in 2005
Ms Dos I almost forgot to say, but Miller lost the leg and his arm in 1984 when he was kidnapped by the Skulls. In the scene Big Boss enters in a coma, Miller moves too much for someone who lost his arm and leg
-what about Deepthroat or Meryl?-
...that doesn't matter when Master Miller here isn't the real miller

4:34 when snake yells no Meryl, he sounds so human and his scratchy voice goes away. it's almost scary but it shows how human he is as well
It's almost like he's trying to keep his voice low so he isn't heard ;)
Sniper Wolf's handkerchief also makes the wolf dogs like you!!!!!
holy shit
Wish i had known this years ago aha
Have to say, thought I knew a ton of MGS - never knew about the statue solution for Mantis. :o
If you hit meryl, she'll slap you in the face, however, if you hit her while she's under control of the mantis ( 4:23) she will just say something like "what are you doing" (if i remember correctly), but she won't slap you, this clearly indicates that she isn't herself anymore
I once tripped over the wire fighting Ocelot and the Colonel said "You idiot!" as the game ended.
you can shoot baker as well before you enter the room with the cutscene and ocelot says "What a maniac."
mememe154222 I thought he says "what are you aiming at?"
Ralphie Leonard he does
luigiclone ocelot said "you idiot", not the colonel
luigiclone additionally, you can shoot at Baker from the other room before entering. You'll hear Ocelot's voice saying "What're you aiming at!?" And can do this up to three times before causing a game over.
Back when I had my PS1 I actually got the Mono TV message.
Also, after all this time, I didn't knew Meryl could get that red or Ocelot being dissapointed in you.
Holy crap, and I thought I knew everything about this game. Great vid!

And also, above the steel beam where you fought Sniper Wolf for the first time, there are rats you can snipe. If you do, everyone will scold you for animal crualty. I'm pretty sure there are more.
All the more reason why this game and franchise is the true GOAT!!!
I wish more games today would remember small things you did in the course of the game and reference back to them to make it feel more personal.
I had looked up a lot of stuff about MGS1 and knew about attacking the statues in the Psycho Mantis fight, but never knew how to get it to work. Awesome video, thanks!

When Mantis reads your "mind" by reading Konami save files off your memory card, he caught me off guard when he said "So ... you like Suikoden" I was like wtf how??? Because I didn't own the game. I just borrowed it briefly from a friend and forgot I created a save file.
that's insane
Wow.. I came into this video thinking it was another of those videos where I would go ''Yep, already knew that.'' But alot of the things I actually never knew about.. Like the Mantis statue thing, and the different dialogue of Raven and Ocelot depending on your previous actions. The more you know!
"Theres more to being a good person than just having a stereo TV"... and this kept going over the years for about every new technology
This just prooves once again that Kojima is genious ! And that MGS1 was truly waaaaay ahead of its time!
Started off with stuff I knew, but there was a couple things I didn't know. Played he hell out of this game when it came out.
You can use the camera to take pictures of ghosts.
One of the funniest lines is if you kill the rats on the ledge before fighting sniper wolf in the corridor. Campbell will call you cursing saying: We didn't hire you to be a damn rat trap!" lolol
cool
The chronic diarrhea,the rusty Snake,the TV,Meryl's whole body blushing,Snake falling to his knees,Raven's additional line,and Ocelot's disappointment are all new to me...and I thought I knew everything including the cheats and unlockables.
I clicked on this video thinking I would know all of the secrets but I knew hardly any! Damn son!
you forgot about the cardboard box fast travel!
It took so long for me to figure out why there were different types of boxes with different postage addresses...
you mean, you can do it in mgs1 as well? i thought it was exclusive to mgs2 and 3
lol wat?
Get in the back of a van with a box for a different area and you'll fast travel to that area.
iota-09 But you can't use them in those games to be transported from a place to another right?
Thank you for the great video. Have played the game since release about 10+ times and even i haven't seen all of these secrets. Shows what a detailed masterpiece MGS is.
In all of these years I didn't realize that line about feeling rusty existed. Going through the first part of the game was like muscle memory for me so I never saw it... until today. Its been at least 4 years since I last played any MGS game and I decided to play them all again. So, I boot up MGS and I die and die and die again and again during the introduction. Then I got that line about feeling rusty. Yes, Colonel, I do feel rusty haha I love these damn games.
1. When you first encounter Meryl dressed as a guard after the "Darpa Chief" dies if you have the Socom pistol at that point Snake will take it out and point it at her. But if you don't he'll instead grab the barrel of Meryl's Famas rifle.
2. If you keep getting yourself blasted by Vulcan Raven's main turret on his tank they'll be short cutscene where he basically laughs at you losing.
3. You can blast the crane in the metal foundry with a Stinger missile to stop it from moving and make it so you don't have to duck to get past it.
If you do all the VR missions before you start the game snake will actually mention how handy the VR missions were to Campbell.
1:44- I found about that by myself. I figured, what if I don't take out the guard and just run into the door?
2:38- I tried it with The Twin Snakes version, but doesn't work in the Remake.
3:24- In Twin Snakes, he talks about tilting the Control Stick slightly instead. : P
4:14- Again, in Twin Snakes, her skin doesn't turn red.
5:46- I first found out about this from a Twin Snakes Video from GameSpot.
Wtf. All these years and I've never heard about that way to defeat Mantis
It keeps surprising even 20 years later!
what about when you shoot into the room with president baker and accidentally blow him up, then ocelot says "you idiot!"
Hideo Kojima invented the concept of the "easter egg".
No he didn't if you watch the movie "ready player one" they show the 1st game that includes an easter egg and it wasn't kojima
Woooow, didnt know quite a lot of stuff
Not even that parachute from Liquid after the hind-d battle
Great video!
when you're in the cell, if you hide under the bed while the guard is away he'll think you disappeared when he comes back. I know from experience.
If you use the thermal goggles against mantis, you´ll see every move he do :)
of course
Still can't attack him successfully unless you switch ports or do the statue trick
love all that stuff! one of my fav games
Ollie Martin It's one of the best games for sure :)
If you also kill enough rats, colonel will call you and everyone will lecture you on early signs of mental ilness.
The decision based outcome aspect of this game together with the story really drew me in.
Nice Episode! Really interesting haha
SodrekR Glad you like it! :)
That ninja is Grey Fox and that guy with diarrhea is Johnny.
There were only a couple things I didnt know about, like the codec conversations about a mono tv or Ocelot alternate dialogue. Also didnt know that you could shoot the statues to distract Mantis. Thats a pretty cool attentiom to detail.
Crazy been playing this game since it came out and I'm still discovering new things.....mind blowing when you consider this is a ps1 game!
Also Psycho Mantis reads your memory card. If there are no konami games saved in the card, Mantis says, "Your memory is completely clean."
As for me, I had a konami saved game and Mantis said,
"So, you like Suikoden."
Wow James! I thought that old games didn't have Easter eggs. Guess I was wrong!
Lol ... Old games usually had more. Because they used to not have dlc. Content came with the game.
MGS was the best game I played at the time. It was so good I played it 5 more times after I beat it.
I just recently pulled my original PlayStation one in PlayStation 2 out of the closet to play metal gear solid one and two, and I like to say I did not know about the damn right eating the pal key and the rat 😅
So many good voice actors... suddenly it's not about smashing the start button to play and get a score... but we can sit back and listen to the story and be captivated
This game will always be my Favorite. 🎮📺
I usually already know the information featured in videos like these, but I actually learned a lot here. I love how they roasted him for having a mono TV lol.
Forgot about shooting the rats with the sniper rifle. It is funnier than the crow line. Also what about going into the vent over and over when merryl is working out. She does three different workouts and of course will eventually be in her underwear because...Kojima. Didn't know about that Mono TV one though...Man they really hate whatever a mono tv is
That one was common knowledge and spread all over when someone found out about it.
@@Kerze 2 years late, but still here to say that most of the things in this video were common knowledge lol
Duuuude, i played this game like 4 times and i still didn't know most of the secret, much respect man
One I found on my first playthrough, I didn't realise that Baker meant the back of the physical CD case to get the codex frequency for Meryl, I thought he meant the Rex data disc that he gives you, so I equipped it and tried everything that I could. I found that if you continually keep opening the codex's memory eventually her frequency pops up without you ever having to input it. I don't know if it requires you to be in a certain area or for a certain amount of time to elapse but I used to do it in Tank Hangar.
You can call natasha at the start of the game instead of waiting till you get to the nuclear storage unit for some extra conversions. She has things to say after donald anderson dies and during the ocelot and tank boss fight.
I always use claymores for the card eating rat, cause there are 2 places he can appear. It works with the Raven too. You also didn't mention Meryl's frequency on the game box, but thats pretty obvious. Good upload.
Psycho Mantis will also detect & make mention of saves from old Konami games on your memory card.
also when you first find merrel or whatever her name is in that prison cell. You can keep leaving the vent and re entering to see her removing more and more clothing
"Huh? What was that noise?! "
"huh? Who's footprints are these?!"
I thought I knew all of these but I'm glad you saved the best for last: I didn't know about the Psycho Mantis statue thing; so great to find out something new after all these years.
Good stuff, I remember playing this when it came out. The Psycho mantis boss battle was really ahead of its time breaking the third wall with the player. If I ever get round to playing this game again, I'd like to try and find all these little secrets to really flesh out the game. Cheers.
I never knew about the mono tv dialogue. Finished this game so many times, during golden age of gaming!
Most of these tips were included in the PrimaGames MGS strategy guide. I played this demo (along with the first Gran Turismo) for about 6 hours!!
Needless to say, I’d been hooked on MGS since…….
nice episode dude. Love MGS one of my all time faves I will definateley look out for these
Retroshocker180 It's crazy how much stuff there is hidden away in this game :D
gamesplusjames I know right theres tons of hidden things I know theres one where you can keep peeking down at Meryl in the Cells and she removes her pants
Retroshocker180 Yeah I dont know why this stuff is in the game, but it's fun to see :D
@@gamesplusjames to be original and cool, thats why
This is the best MGS ever! and this video just give you a lot of reasons to think so
Wow I played trough this game at least 10 times back in the days and kept finding new stuff and this vid showed me at least 3 more. Though the one where Ocelot is dissapointed in Snakes skills I never found because I was not that bad at the game :P
I replayed this for the 3rd time on my VITA and finally got the damn rat to eat the PAL Key.. In all my years playing MGS in all of its difficulties I have never seen this happening until I replayed it for the Stealth Camo in the VITA Save file...
I was shocked when I could not find the damn PAL key in the sewers but then I found out the rat actually has its own blip in the Soliton Radar, I was confused at first because I didn´t know what the point in the radar was and I kept bumping on the stupid rat each time I followed it.. Out of spite I killed the damn thing and BAMM the PAL Key popped out! Needless to say my JAW DROPPED HARD as I could not believe this game was still surprising me after almost 20 years.
you can use thermal googles to look for a rat :)
One of the best games in history.
Apart from the mono TV and the other way to defeat Psycho Mantis, I pretty much knew all the stuff already. I guess I didn't play Metal Gear Solid to death after all! lol
One of the Best Video Game of all time!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ❤️ ⭐️ ⭐️
all these years still so many secrets i didn't know
My all time favorite game.
I knew all of them except the last one about the statues. 20 years on and still discovering something new haha
"Every Metal Gear Game is full of strange and interesting bosses"...... Except for MGS5.... Such a disappointment...
The Sahalantrapus or however you spell it was fucking weird, just not very hard
MGS4's bosses weren't that impressive either.
@@Onmysheet Sahelanthropus was a bit of a pain, and I liked the BnB corps, they were pretty interesting.
They all seemed to be the same with the way you had to defeat them. Run around, aim, wait for an opening and shoot, then repeat. There wasn't any variety in them which MGS3 had.
I didn’t actually know that about Mantis. Interesting tactic, I’ll try that next time.
