I The Confinement

Facility is possibly the largest zonein Metal Gear Solid 4

and there are plenty of sights to see - you can visit it a few times and still
n0ttruly know all of its secrets. Forthat reason, you can find an enlarged

annotated map on the double-page spread that follows. marked with all
collectable items and accompanied by tips and useful observations.

How you approach this zone is purely a matter of personal preference.

There really isn't a "right" 0r "wrong" way to make y0ur way to its two
. exits if you're playing with no specific end goals in mind. However, try
not to loiter in exposed positions on the east side of the map - with
rockets and m0rtars pummeling the area, and bullets flying freely,

"accidental" hits are a distinct hazard.

There's a Caution Phase in effect when the f inal cinematic sequence ends

Unless you want this to escalate to an Alert Phase, you'll need to hide Snake before the
Haven Troopers anive. The best way to f ight this battle without being detected we've

found is to lie down by the front end of the bed in the bottom-right room lf you move
Snake's legs under the bed, you ll find that it's an ideal location

it provides a clear

view of the two areas where the Haven Troopers tend to pause while searching for you,

Laughing Octopus is extremely agile, and will use her tentacles to move
rapidly t0 net,v l0cations. She can arrive from any position, at any time.
When knocked down, she fills the air around her with an impenetrable smoke.
lf you're close, back away immediately. More often than not, this cloud masks

the launch of slow-moving but tenacious homing missiles. Though you can
shoot these down (temporarily activate Auto Aim if you want to make this
really easy), it's generally safer to dodge them. Stay out of their range, and

the approach of others. Activate the Solid Eye s NV lunction to enjoy a clearer
