Once you get thrown in prison after being tortured save the game and turn off your PS2. The dialogue from the save chick will have something along the lines of, "I've got a bad feeling about saving here". Quit out, then load the game once more and you will end up playing some random killing game.

When fighting Volgin the first time you can wear the Ivan’s mask and he will think you are the major and hesitate from attacking you. You will have a chance to shoot him a few times without him attacking. He will realize who you are after a while and become angry and attack more frequently.

This happens after fighting The Fear. You can see the arrows The Fear shoots at you attached to your body. You have to take them out in the cure menu. But if you save the game with an arrow in your body and quit, after a while when you return to the game you are cured, but the arrow remains in your body for the rest of the game.

When you first fight Volgin wear the Raiden Mask and while he's confused place several TNT in front of him. This way you can detonate them at a distance and avoid him using his shield. You can also place the TNT in his way when he charges you.

In the mountain areas of MGS3 (after you defeat "The End") you can interrogate a guard he will tell you a secret radio frequency that will cause his fellow troops to give cover fire. This doesn't exactly help snake but is still cool to see. The frequency is 147.90, it has to be in the mountain areas and you can only do it once.

• Secret 1: When there's the animation with Volgin beating Tatyana, Boss sending The Fear to kill you, The End is there in a wheel chair, etc. When the Boss says: "The Sorrow, is that you?". It gives you a R1 notice, but you're zooming on The Boss. Move the camera to the right to see The Sorrow.
• Secret 2: When you kill Volgin on the Shagohad and Eva is about to kiss you, hold R1. You won't get any notice, but it works. You're going to see The Sorrow standing in the background.
• Secret 3: After you killing The Boss, once the horse is there, hold R1. You won't get any notice, but it works. You're going to see The Boss spirit with The Sorrow.
• Secret 4: When you're shaking hands with the President, hold R1. You won't get any notice, but it works anyway. Move the camera to the left to see Ocelot doing his trademark taunt from the window.
• Secret 5: When Big Boss is standing in front of The Boss's grave, hold R1. You won't get any notice, but it works anyway. You're going to see the complete Graveyard.
• Secret 6: When Ocelot is leaving the Torture Room, Press R1. You won't get any notice, but it works anyway. You're going to see The Boss doing Ocelot's taunt.

If you need help planting the bombs in the Shagohad hanger there's a disguise that will help; before entering the main wing, search through all the lockers in the locker room of the east wing (try the fourth row to the right) and you will find the uniform maintenance. Combined with the Raiden mask you can use this in the Shagohad hanger and enemies will leave you alone. Just try not to attract the other workers' attention.

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.

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.

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.

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. Yay!

If you're having trouble beating The Fear, or want to beat him non-lethally, try this: start the battle with poisoned food and toss some around in the middle of the area. When The Fear's stamina gets low, he will instinctively eat that food first before trying to pluck other food to eat. This food will drain his stamina and will give you time to shoot him.
