10 Things You Didn't Know About MGS1

you never need thermal goggles though, if you think about those lasers before the tank fight, just use your cigarets. for the dark cave? that place is fairly easy anyway and not nearly as dark as it should be. for claymores? I guess sure, but you run up anyway to trigger the cutscene and the claymores at the sniper wolf section is literally hold up (and also shown by meryl if you really don't want to hold up) the claymores on the snowfield after the torture segment, again, run left and hug that wall, no claymores there.

[@WTFHAX93]

I don't know if I remember this correctly, since I haven't played MGS in a hot minute, but after that point you also lose the ability to save the game until you leave the room you pissed her off in. Like I said, I might be wrong, so feel free to correct me.

You forgot the diffrent cutscene when snake enters the air duct and then sees two solidiers talking with each other on the tank hangar level if you get spotted before they will mention about a new intruder killing 12 people referring maybe to Gray fox but if you have 0 alerts before reaching the cutscene they will not mention it !!!

[@heinrichthiart]

I remember there were 2 additional secrets with the Revolver Ocelot boss battle. The 1st is if you blow up the wall that lets you into the area where you have the boss battle but you stand there, if you go into first-person view you can see Kenneth Baker (thanks for correction). If you shoot your gun he can actually die, Revolver will shout YOU IDIOT. The 2nd is the same outcome but during the boss battle itself.

About quarter of century after the release date, after beating the game couple dozen of times, after occasionally reading and watching trivia about less known content in first Metal Gear Solid, there's still something new for me. Thanks for the video!

[@claudehartbarger937]

I discovered all these as a child...minus the sneaking suit. I've got one, when you go to meet the Darpa Chief for the first time, go see Meryl as per usual then climb back down the ladder. When you go back up, check on her again and she'll be doing a different exercise. Do it three times and she will be pant-less.

[@530skeptic]

If you watch the very first video in the briefing section from the menu, and then exit out without selecting the next one, Snake will say he doesn't want to do the mission and the colonel blackmails him.

[@Murukku47]

In the demo version of the game, the SOCOM-less version of the Meryl cutscene always plays whether you have SOCOM or not. When I played the full version of the game after that I was surprised by the different camera angles and different music.

[@Gatherway]

Interesting. In the version on the demo disc I had, the game ends with the cutscene of the death of the DARPA chief. Which version of the demo did you have? Where does it end?

[@codyodonnell2604]

Also if you get in the back of one of the 3 trucks in the game with a Card Board Box A,B,C a soldier will come out and bring the truck to the location written on the box. Faster way to travel to different locations in the game..Example you can travel from the snowy field where you fight sniper wolf the 2nd time to the Helipad at the beginning of the game in seconds then to the warhead disposal facility right after or vice versa

[@duffman18]

The same thing is true in MGS 2, you can use the boxes to fast travel around the big shell. You go into the room with all the boxes being shuttled around on conveyor belts, climb up onto the platform and then equip the box, and then you get transported automatically to one of the different struts in the game based on which number of box you equip. If you equip the Zone of the Enders box, then you will be transported into the locked room in that same strut and will be able to get an item much much earlier in the game, I can't remember what, I think it may be the sniper rifle but I'm not sure. You usually only get that item when you come back to that strut way later on in the game when you're transporting Emma to the Strut L oil fence, the whole sniping section, because that's the first time you have a key card high enough to get into that room through the door. So yeah just find the zone of the enders box instead and then that way you can get into that room without needing a key card.

[@ThreeXIFan]

I never knew that! That's awesome!

[@sakarinieminen3205]

Although you have no reason for transportation. Its slower in when u have to backtrack, and after snowfield theres no business in earlier areas

[@RexLiquidd]

Holy shit, this takes me back. I always remember when I was a kid and discovered that parachute in the snowfield. I was the coolest guy in my class when I told everyone about it. This was in the release year, some of us had only the demo disc and few of us had the game. We were all playing the game for the first time... Good times... Fuuuck I'm old now.

[@TN_T_]

First time I played it was on the pizza hut demo disk. After we got the full game, I felt robbed. Once I made it to the heliport and climbed in the back of the truck, I was expecting the Nikita launcher to be there like it was in the demo. Lol... when we only had the demo we were so mind blown at how amazing the graphics were and the different ways to kill people. I had played the original metal gear on Nintendo, but never made it very far. We would all take turns and challenge to see who could go the longest without getting spotted..etc... good times, good times.

There's a bit in the elevator with the ravens before getting to Vulcan Raven. If you call Otacon, Snake will ask "Why are there crows here?" but if you call Miller (Liquid) first he will explain that these are ravens. Then when you call Otacon the dialog will change from crows to ravens.

fine you got me, ive never noticed that damn parachute after sniper wolf fight

So I just found this out tonight on the psycho mantis boss aside from changing your controller port 1 to port 2 you can also use your thermal goggles so he can’t hide from you when he disappears like it never occurred to me to try this

[@MKDumas1981]

After a Good Ending playthrough, put on the bandana, equip the FA-MAS, and go all Stallone on Mantis's ass. Speaking of which, if you wait until one of the last three rounds in the FA-MAS magazine, then equip the bandana, it will fire unlimited tracer rounds.

[@Savagem8]

Tracer rounds are when you can actually see your bullet come out of the barrel. Usually it pops out every few shots to guide where your bullets are going. If you do this guys trick, every shot will be visible, and look like a laser gun famas​@rubenrodriguez3252

[@GamesUesu]

Here is another one. During the Psycho Mantis figth, most people change the port, but you can beat him attacking him 8 times, he dodges every attack but the 8th attack will ALWAYS hit, Punches and Guns only.

[@duffman18]

Also there's a way to explode the statues on either side of the room that have gas masks on them, which allows you to beat Psycho Mantis without having to change controller ports too. Although I think you need to purposely die first, to do it.

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

It hints at the "perfection" of each Snake. Liquid meaning he's inferior to Solid (even if it is a lie and backwards). While Solidus implies he is perfect and an exact copy of Big Boss. There is also a translation "error" let's say. It is not that one clone is superior, it is that one clone got the Dominant genes (Liquid) and the other one the Recesive genes (Solid). @@seventysschev

I first played the game on a JamPacked demo disc from Wal-Mart when i was a kid. I found one particular secret that i haven't heard anyone discover yet, if you pick up the Socom, travel to the floor where the Darpa Cheif is located, and then go back to the truck where you found the pistol, the Nikita missile launcher would then be there. We had so much fun with this, the demo would end once you climbed out of the vent in the Darpa Chief's cell, so we'd have fun playing with the guards and discovering new things just within that small section of the game. Excellent video, such an excellent game to still find out new things this many years later. I had my daughter play the game for the first time, and she somehow missed the thermal goggles, so when the time came for her to have to dodge the lasers on the way out to the mine field i was truly stumped, because i always would use the thermal goggles, so i looked up the alternative way and discovered that you could see the lasers if you have snake smoke cigarettes, which I'm sure some players picked up, but was still fun to learn something new.

You forgot that you can use the Cardboard box to transport snake around the base by placing him the back of the truck and choosing a box that fits the destination you wanna go to. So for instance, if you are in the nuclear storage facility, you can travel back to the helipad by choosing box A(helipad) After a while a guard will come by and say: Is that really all there is to load? To the helipad then. And thus you will be able to short travel between 3 different places, Helipad, Nuclear storage Facility and the Snowfield.

Can't travel _from_ the snowfield, though, as there are no guards walking around.

I just love the Original Mgs1 played it so many times simply for the story, I only ever saw a play through of Mgs2 once and I hated it, Mgs3 is sorta hit-and-miss for me but kinda fun

[@Jesse12489]

I own Twin Snakes and the OG PS1 version. I find myself playing the OG version more for some odd reason. I love Twin Snakes for the MGS2 playstyle but something about the original keep drawing me back.

i already knew everything in the video, but it was really entertaing nontheless! thanks for the nive and professional video bro!

[@mrdasjo]

It's clever for them to hide secrets that require the player to lose in order to find them.

[@OniCamoGaming]

I played more than the average kid growing up so I'm sorry to say I knew most of these. It's an old game so it's tough to find unknown facts at this point but a solid effort.

[@MLBlue30]

Solid effort, nice.

[@duffman18]

Liquid effort

[@MKDumas1981]

Solidus effort.

Right after the scene without the socom pistol. Snake automatically rolls and picks one up automatically.

[@crlclssic]

very cool mate, great video. I'm half way through the game again right now so good timing :)

[@ZenBuu04]

I knew all of this except for the SOCOM custom scene! That was cool ❤

[@MegaJugador]

I already know all that details in the game except the Meryl infiltration suit. Good video.

[@mikeyjames6900]

Myrle is a playable character on metal gear solid this is original and real try to remember metal gear solid one original game at the time you can order the alternate version of metal gear solid from block buster video store please try to remember because America is suffering from the mental forgetful disease

[@lukebarber9511]

In the Gamecube remake The Twin Snakes (including the North American release), Meryl will also wear a sneaking suit after the player completes both endings.

[@velvetbutterfly]

It wasn't both endings, it's just for being on the third cycle.

[@lukebarber9511]

Does that apply to just the sneaking suit, or also the tuxedo, ninja recolor, etc? I always thought you unlocked these by completing both versions of the game (giving in vs. not giving in to the torture).

[@ThickpropheT]

I've probably beaten this game 20 times with a mix of endings , but for the live of me didn't remember there being anything about solidus in the ending. Weird

[@Lucifronz]

The SOCOM-less scene feels like the more "intended" one. Like they expect players to not have a gun and the dialogue is built around it. He sounds like he's talking her down (while also belittling her a little), which he doesn't need to do if he has a pistol trained on her. He could be more aggressive if he wanted to, even mildly, but he still talks like he has a gun trained on him by someone he can't just pull the trigger on. And also he tells her to stop thinking and shoot, but he isn't shooting either.

[@brodude3709]

Yes I agree.

[@SankofaNYC]

Whoa!! Some of these are really new to me! I can’t believe there are still things in this game i don’t know about ha wow

8:34 - 8:39 The Cyborg Ninja a.k.a. Gray Fox actually almost looks like Spider-Man with that special color scheme.
