Press R2 to slow down the CQC scenes.
Use L1 and L2 to change the color of snake and the enemy.

Body full of crossbow bolts
When fighting The Fear, before you beat him, let him hit you a few times with his crossbow. The bolts will stay in your body, and you are supposed to remove them through the Cure menu. If you beat him, you will automatically be healed fully, but the bolts will still be stuck in you for the rest of the game. If you go to your Cure menu, you will see them sticking out of you, but you can't remove them. They are visible with any camo you wear, but not visible during cutscenes.
Breaking Out of The Cell
You have 4 choices:
1. Enter 144.75 as a frequency and kill the guard using the fork or punches.
2. Use the fake death pill and when the guard walks in take the revival pill and kill him.
3. When the guard gives you food, throw it out the window 2 or 3 times and he goes to use the bathroom. Take this moment to call 144.75 and kill the guard on the toilet.
4. When the guard gives you food, throw it out the window 2 or 3 times and he goes to the bathroom. Wait for him to come back and you'll have a conversation. The guard then gives you cigar gas-spray thinking they are just cigars. Make him fall asleep and call 144.75 to get out.
Call off alert
When you are in alert mode, grab a guard and interrogate him. He will give a radio frequency you can call to call off the alert. After the alert is over, the frequency changes.

Defeating The Shagohod
Defeating the shagohod is probably the most fun part of the whole game. Quickly shoot the treads (Wheels for those of you you who have bad vocab.) Then Volgin will complain about how he can't move or saying "What have you done!" Eva will drive around to the back of the shagohod and shoot the part that is smoking it takes about one-fifthe of the machines life. If you don't inflict damage it propbably means you didn't do it fast enough.
Defeating Volgin
Defeating Volgin on top of the Shagohod is the same as fighting it the first time. Take out your RPG and aim for the treads. When you hit the treads, you will stun the Shagohod and leave a window open to do damage to Volgin. You cannot hurt him unless you shoot him in the sides of the back. Make sure you are close enough to get behind him and unload with any gun. Do this to make quick work of Volgin.
Eat The End's parrot
In the cutscene that begins the battle against The End, his parrot flies away. Search the area using the Thermal Goggles and you will eventualy find a bird sitting in a tree or on a stump behind you. This is also a sign that The End is nearby. You can either kill the bird, which will trigger The End cursing your name and swearing revenge, or capture it. Either way the parrot still appears in the cutscene where The End dies. If you captured the bird, contact Para-Medic to have a conversation about the bird. It offers very little stamina but tastes good. If you killed or captured the bird, it also appears as a ghost during the battle against The Sorrow.
Extra Cut Scenes
When Snake is captured in the prison cell, do not eat the food the guard throws you. Instead, throw the food back out of the cell to the card. Continue to do this 2 more times for a total of 3 times and this will trigger a hidden cut scene.
Extra dead man during river walk
To add another dead man to the Sorrows river walk you have to lay down a BOOK during the game(before the river walk) and plant a TNT charge. When a man walks up and starts reading the book set off the TNT and kill him. Now when you walk down the river you'll see a man reading the BOOK and saying "I want some more."
Extra Waterfall Scene with Eva
After you escape from the cell, don't use Cure to take out the transmitter in your back. If the transmitter is in you when you meet up with Eva behind the waterfall, there will be an extra very funny scene where she takes it out of you.
Frustrate Volgin
In the battle against Volgin in the Shagohod hanger, put on the mask. Volgin will begin to say things like " Ivan?". This will make Volgin slightly more aggressive, and ake it easier to attack his back. However, his attacks will become more fierce.
Fun with Eva
Once Eva joins you after the motorcycle scene there are a few things you can do. If you picked up a camera earlier, pull it out and stare at her through it and in different areas you will receive different responses. Go prone and crawl at her, she'll get embarrassed then stand up and walk off slightly. In the cure menu, move her around with the left joystick and she'll bounce.
Hidden intermission sequence
In Groznyj Grad after the torture scene, you will wake up in the prison. Get the fork and remove the bullet, but do not remove the transmitter. Then, continue the game. Later when you meet Eva behind the water fall, there will be a funny extra intermission sequence that takes place after Snake pushes her away from the kiss. The extra scene will only play if you still have the transmitter in you at this point.
Hidden items and secrets
IN MGS3 there are many ways to get hidden uniforms, masks, and ways to get a good laugh. here they are.
1) Earn top rank in all Snake VS.monkey Missions for the bannana camo and the monkey mask.

15) theres a poster of MGSs in the locker that you put Major Raikov into.
16) A chance to save your game happens just after Snake is captured by Gronzyj Grad. Save this game in a DIFFERENT FILE then the previous Save file.

Monkey Mask
Get the five best times in Snake Vs. Ape to unlock the monkey mask.
Moss Camouflage
When fighting The End, if you sneak up behind him when he is asleep and hold him up, he shakes down and will eventually give you the camouflage moss.
Movie
After you're through with the torture and you're in your cell, leave the transmitter in that's lodged in you rather than extract it with the knife. When you get to the cave with Eva, you'll see a funny cut scene.
Nightmare Mini-Game
After Snake's torture, you can save the game. If you load this save in another game, a sword fighting mini-game will begin.
No Damage Through Torture
Hold L2 during the entire torture sequence to not recieve any damage when Volgin punches you. It must remain held down until cutscene where he leaves otherwise any damage that would have been done is still dealt.
Ocelot Time Paradox
After the cut scene where you first meet Ocelot, knife him to death. Once you kill him the game over screen will pop-up and say "OCELOT IS DEAD." Cambell will then yell at Snake for creating a time paradox.
Ocelot's Backstory
To learn more about Ocelot's youth, and his relationship to other person(s) in the game, call EVA repeatedly while standing in the section of the cave with two waterfalls.
Opening the door in weapon lab and getting Skorpion
To open the door that requires a radio frequency, you must capture a guard. Hold the knife to him to get the information by pressing L3 (145.86). Call that while standing in front of door to open it. You should hear a click. Once inside the door, the very powerful Skorpion (includes laser sighting) can be found in the far northeast of the room, along with ammunition. Note: The room can only be entered through the door located to the east. The one to the west does not open until after the east door is opened.
Poisoning Enemies
Destroy a food storehouse and wait for the guards to start complaining about their hunger. Kill a poison animal (Such as a Poison Dart Frog) and equip it as a weapon. Throw it near a guard and he will eat it. In a few seconds he will collapse from the poison and die.
Purge poison
When Snake is stricken with food poisoning, use the "Sick Snake" trick to make him vomit. It will cure the food poisoning. Note: The "Sick Snake" can be done when standing and crouching.

Raiden Poster
When you steal Raikov's outfit in Groznyg Grad you hide Raikov's body in a locker room on the 2nd floor. Once you take his body in the room, a cut scene will start showing snake putting Raikov's body in a locker. If you look closely, you can quickly see a poster of Raiden from MGS2 on the inside of the door of the locker. This is the locker that contains the sneaking suit later.
Revolver Ricochet
As demonstrated by Major Ocelot early in the game, the bullets on the Colt Single Action Army revolver are capable of ricocheting. Simply equip the SAA and fire at a non-volatile structure such as a rock formation, metal crate or wall and watch the bullet deflect off the surface. If mastered properly, this can be used to shoot enemies hiding behind structures or even around corners.
Skip level
This cheat is really cool, just press up, down, R2, L2, up, down then select in the cure menu. but be carefull you will only go to the next level with some of life gone, so if you have little life i wouldnt recommend this cheat.
Skip The End
In the cut scene when you see The End in a wheelchair, quickly get your gun out (use the sniper rifle if you have it) and shoot his head before he gets back inside the building.
Sleep talking
In the scene where you have to reach the Wig with Eva injured, shoot her with a tranquilizer dart. She will pass out and begin to talk in her sleep. To wake her up again, go into the survival viewer and cure her with the knife. Alternately, you can kick her awake.
Snake camo
To get the Snake camo you have to defeat the Boss by depleting her stamina. An easier way to do this is by using the Snow facepaint and camo and ducking, she will star looking for you and that will be your chance to use the Mk22 or the End's sniper. If she finds you and shoots, run and roll then stay down, she will run away and lose you. If she gets you in CQC, press Circle repeatidly to prevent being damaged, instead of using CQC against her try punching her, when she falls shoot a tranquilizer to her. Once her stamina is depleted, she'll stay down and the camo will come out of her, look nearby for the camo the box if bigger than others.
Snake Pukes
Spin snake in circles in the cure menu to make Snake throw up.
Special snake
When you are fighting The Boss at the field of daffodils, throw a grenade anywhere when you get the chance. If you hear the sound of an animal turning into a ration, put your thermal goggles on and look for the ration with a special snake inside. Press Start and look at your food. If you picked it up, you will have a snake named after one of the sons of Big Boss. You can eat it, and he loves it. If you do not find a ration or hear a sound, throw another grenade. Eventually you will get one. They are mostly near the rocks.
Spot The End
During the battle with The End go to the Survival Viewer Map. From there put in up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, square, triangle. A dot saying 'enemy' should pop up on the screen. if not got to another area and try it there.
Taming The Bees
After getting the hornet stripe camo (defeating The Pain via stamina kill) you have the ability to "tame" bees while wearing the hornet stripe uniform. Heres how you do it (while wearing hornet stripe camo): Shoot down a beehive while underneath it (or close enough to it so the bees fall NEAR you). The bees will then be swarming around you! Now go attack some enemys (or go near them) so they can feel the pain.
The 5th way to get out of the cell
When you get into the cell after being tortured, use the SNAKE PUKES hint. (You have to do it when the guard is in front of you.) The guard will open the door, then you can punch him or hit him with the fork. thats pretty much all you have to do.
The Best Tasting Food
While you are fighting the Boss, equip your thermal goggles and look for snake solid, snake liquid, and snake solidus. They are each by one of the three logs that are scattered around the area.
The End's Mercy
While fighting The End, climb a tree onto a ledge that is easily accessible to the old man. Lay down and take out your sniper rifle, go into first person, and search the trees, not necessarily looking for The End. You will eventually hear his footsteps behind you, but do not turn around. You will get a short cut scene where The End finds you and shoots you one with his rifle. Instead of killing you he says that you don't deserve to die that easily. He then proceeds to pick Snake up and carry him to the nearby jail where he will eventually awaken.
The Sorrows bones
After you see the movie clip were you fight Ocelot of GRU for the first time, you will folo Sokolov to the bridge. You will see a short clip, then The Boss will throw you off the edge of the bridge. when you get done healing yourself it will give you the opportunity to look around. Look all the way to the left to see the bones of The Sorrow. This is one of the cobra's. This will be your only chance to see them.
Tight Space Glitch
First equip the binoculars, then quick unequip. Enter a tight space, like a vent, and as SOON as the camera begins to move into 'Intrusion Mode' aka First Person immediatly equip the binoculars. You will continue to move forward WITH the binoculars equiped, but you will not be able to control Snake at all, except to unequip the binoculars, which will then return everything to normal.
Title Screen Fun
On the title screen the L3 button changes the pattern in the background. R1 speeds up action and R2 slows it down. L1 switches the black silhouette from the foreground to the background and L2 changes the color of the silhouette. L3 changes the color of the pattern in the background.
Tranquilizer Sniper
To get the Tranquilizer Sniper, you must defeat The End by depleting his stamina, one easier way to do this is to follow his footsteps with the Thermal Goggles, he must likely won't espect you to be behind him but he will hear you if you just go running. If he spots you from far, don't try shooting from there, instead try gessing where he'll go next. Once you defeat him, his sniper will be at the center of the north part of the forest (Sokroveno North).
Unlock EZ Gun
You must capture all types of animals and plants in the game, you dont have to eat them and they can be rotten, and once you have captured one you can discard it from your backpack because it has been recorded as it having been caputred, there are 47 in total to be captured.
Unlockable List
Beat the game to get:
Tuxedo
Camera
Patriot with infinite ammo
Single Action Army
X-Ray Poses
While in the the Cure Screen hit R1 twice this will activate different animations from body building techniques to stances.
Yankee Doodle
When you first start the game, you will be on the Virtuous Mission, where you have to rescue Sokolov. Go through the level like you normally would. After you cross the bridge and get to the factory where Sokolov is, if you have the sniper, snipe the enemy closest to the wall where you are at. Then, crawl over to the grass inside of the walls. If you look around the corner of the fence you should see a guard, if you don't, then just wait for him. When you see him, snipe him as well. When you snipe him the alert timer will appear. Then turn to your left and look at the stairs leading up to the second floor where there is just a little platform. There should be a guard kneeling down up there looking around. Snipe him. Now listen carefully and you should hear the "Yankee Doodle" tune being whistled by Sokolov or someone else.
Zooming/Camera-panning During Cinemas
At any time during a cut scene you can zoom in on the action by pressing the Triangle button. The harder you push it, the closer it zooms in. Also, while zoomed in you can pan the camera around using the left analog stick.
